On the other side, Xiang Lili was lying on the hospital bed and taking the police's statement.
She woke up in the early hours of the morning, but it was impossible for the police to lift the quilt and come to work in the middle of the night, so she told them that the victim had woken up when she arrived at work in the morning.
The two men were wearing uniforms, sitting upright, and recording what they said to Lili.
When she woke up in the early morning, she was still dizzy and couldn't move at all. If she moved, she would feel dizzy and want to vomit. Her brain felt like shaken tofu.
Now that he had something important to do, he forced himself to sit up with a pale face, trying hard to recall what happened at that time, and slowly started to talk about it from the time he got off work.
"I worked overtime at the factory until around 7:00 p.m., almost 8:00 p.m. When I got off work and left the methane plant to go home, the streetlights were pitch black. They must have been malfunctioning. Two people held me hostage in the darkness!"
When the police heard the word "hostage", they knew that this was the beginning of the murder process. They kept taking notes with their pens, and their ears perked up even higher.
Xiang Lili's eyes went blank as she tried to recall: "One of them grabbed my left shoulder, and the other covered my mouth with a cloth from the right. It smelled like drugs, and I fainted when I smelled it..."
As she spoke, tears began to flow.
Who would be willing to repeat such an embarrassing experience, especially when they are seriously injured and have to recall it in detail to avoid delaying the punishment of the murderer?
The police already knew about the drug use from the doctor's diagnosis. Just as they raised their eyes to urge the victim to continue, they saw Xiang Lili crying.
The eighteen-year-old girl was crying, with gauze wrapped around her head and bruises on her face. Even the most heartless person couldn't bring himself to urge her.
Xiang Mianmian hurriedly wiped her sister's tears. Xiang Lili wanted to shake her head and do it herself, but she found that her head was in so much pain that she could only sob.
The recording of the confession was forced to be interrupted, and Zhang Jidi, who was standing nearby, quickly called a doctor to comfort the patient.
After some emergency treatment, Xiang Lili had to lie flat on the bed because of a concussion and continue to record her statement with her eyes closed.
Seeing this, the police officer couldn't bear it and said he would come back in two days. There would still be time when her condition stabilized.
Xiang Lili gritted her teeth and insisted: "Since I'm here today, I'll just finish the recording. I can still hold on. In two days, I'm afraid I won't be able to remember the details."
People's memory changes over time. They can still remember most of it within three days, but as time goes by, they forget it drastically.
Seeing that her condition had stabilized and she was able to continue recording her statement, they did not want to bother her twice and agreed.
"My brother is a soldier and he said that we should stay calm no matter what happens. So I held my breath and didn't inhale too much. I pretended to be unconscious and didn't move. The one who grabbed my shoulders used a rope to tie me up, and the other one covered my shoulders with a cloth while holding my shoulders.
I was terrified of being trafficked or insulted... so I kicked the person who was tying me up. It was dark, and I didn't know where I kicked him. He fell to the ground in agony, and I took the opportunity to break free. The other person, afraid I would scream, hit me on the right side of my head with a sharp object, and I fainted."
Xiang Lili told her everything in general. She was exhausted and had to rest intermittently in the middle.
The police took notes of what she said and would suddenly ask her about some details, such as whether he grabbed her left hand or right hand.
Xiang Lili felt a little strange, but she still recalled the scene: "Left hand, he grabbed me here."
She closed her eyes, reached out, and grabbed her left arm.
She had no idea that the police suspected she was lying, so they had to repeat some small details and confirm the authenticity of her confession by comparing the two answers.
After putting away the transcript, the police were about to ask some more questions. Xiang Lili's description of the hitting on the head was relatively brief, and they wanted to know the details.
Before he could even finish his question, he heard a knock on the ward door.
The police officer was interrupted while working and frowned. This is a single ward. Don’t they ask family members to guard outside the door? Why were they interrupted?
Zhang Jidi smiled at them embarrassedly and hurried out to see what was going on.
As soon as the door opened, it turned out to be the director of the methane plant and the director of the Women's Federation, holding some supplements such as malted milk in their hands.
They also brought Xiang Lili's workshop director to express their condolences. Xiang Lidang didn't want to keep the leaders waiting for a long time, so he knocked on the door to ask if the record had been completed.
The police also recognized the two big guys. In the course of work, there would always be some things that required them to deal with the factory director and the director of the Women's Federation. How could they not know them at all?
They put away their anger at being disturbed, greeted the leaders politely, and welcomed the three leaders to come in and sit down first.
Because of the presence of the two giant Buddhas, the police officer quickly asked all the small details he wanted to know, checked to make sure there were no omissions, and then stood up to say goodbye.
Zhang Jidi asked Xiang Lidang to send the two people out, and he went to bring water to the three leaders.
Naturally, water was offered to the police before, but they were performing their duties and made excuses, saying they were not thirsty, so neither of them drank.
The director of the methane plant originally didn't know about Xiang Lili's situation. The employees' work-related injuries were a matter that the union and the labor and personnel department needed to worry about.
If one of the hundreds of employees is injured, he can't possibly check on each one, right?
He was concerned with all the affairs in the factory and was already very busy. Now he was worried because a lot of orders had come in recently and the staff were too busy to handle them.
As a result, when I was taking a sip of water, I heard people from the Women's Federation downstairs making a fuss, talking about women's rights and that the factory was ignoring the safety of female employees.
He thought that he hadn't provoked these fierce women recently, so he sighed and could only accept the situation and solve it.
