"However, even so, why am I still sitting here today, across from you as a suspect?"
"Because there is no cost to a good person being wronged. It is very easy for a good deed to become the basis for a counterattack."
"The matter is actually very simple. Today is the third day of the third lunar month, and I brought my daughter to the market to buy a kite. When we got to the foot of Qingquan Pagoda, because the crowd was so dense, an elderly woman in front of me with two children was separated from her daughter by the crowd..."
"You're talking nonsense..."
“This is not the time for you to speak,” the police officer stopped the old woman who was interrupting Wang Tianxiao and trying to refute him.
The old woman hurriedly defended herself: "Officer, don't listen to his nonsense. He's just afraid of taking responsibility, that's why he's spouting nonsense here. You can't listen to his rubbish, you can't."
"Whether what he said is true or not, we will judge and investigate. What you need to do now is to remain silent. This is basic courtesy and what I am asking of you. If you do not comply, then next time it will be a warning."
"Why are you being so fierce? I didn't do anything wrong. He's the one who's wrong, so why are you all being so mean to me? What kind of logic is that? Fine, don't talk then. I want to see what kind of nonsense he can come up with."
Wang Tianxiao smiled faintly and continued, "I happened to be walking behind the old man at the time. I saw that after the little girl was separated from the old man, she not only lost her support but was also pushed to the ground by the crowd. In the blink of an eye, someone stepped over her back. I quickly pulled the little girl up and held her close, thinking that I could return her to the old man after we got out of the crowded area."
“But,” he glanced at the old woman and said with a wry smile, “I never expected to encounter a story like the farmer and the snake. When I took the child out, I didn’t receive the slightest thanks from the old woman…”
Of course, I didn't do this out of a desire for gratitude. Helping others in a simple way is something I've always been happy to do.
However, I never expected that I would be mistaken for a child trafficker, and despite my numerous explanations, I still couldn't gain their understanding or trust. This puzzled me greatly, and even seemed absurd.
I couldn't help but wonder, if someone does a good deed but is wronged and insulted, would they dare to do good deeds again? Looking at this on a larger scale, shouldn't people in the world first consider their own safety before doing good deeds, and think about whether they have the ability and opportunity to escape unscathed?
“Sigh,” Wang Tianxiao sighed deeply, “Police officers, I believe you will be able to find out the truth about this matter soon, but can you guarantee that everything will be found out? Right now, at this very moment, in some unnoticed corners, someone must have done a good deed. How can we guarantee that every act of kindness will be rewarded in a positive way?”
Wang Tianxiao finished speaking.
His tone was calm and low, and the topic he was discussing was serious, but it didn't give people too much of a sense of pressure.
Instead, one can hear his sincerity and concern between the lines.
Perhaps, because he had experienced a time when morality had severely declined, people's hearts were no longer pure, and everyone was insecure, he became like Mr. Dongguo, who dared not help those who had fallen to the ground and needed assistance, fearing it might be a trap, or even if it wasn't, he would be dragged into it because of his ignorance. Therefore, he was particularly saddened by the injustice that had happened to him.
Yes, there was anger, but mostly sadness.
It's like knowing there's a cliff ahead, so you try to stop those who blindly rush towards the edge, but instead of being trusted, they insult you and still fall into the abyss.
This made his anger contain a great deal of sorrow.
sorrow.
After Wang Tianxiao finished speaking, the interrogation room became very quiet.
The female police officer had stopped writing with her pen sometime earlier, and the male police officer's cigarette had burned down to the end, burning his fingers.
He nervously crumpled the cigarette butt into the ashtray, then looked at Wang Tianxiao seriously again, his tone much gentler, "Your name is Wang Tianxiao, right?"
"Yes."
"Where are you from? What do you do?"
"He's from our Wangjia Village, and he works at a station under the Forestry Bureau."
"What exactly do you want to do?"
"Forest rangers are responsible for preventing the theft of trees in forest areas and the hunting of rare and protected animals."
"I see."
The male police officer nodded, revealing a gentle smile for the first time. "Comrade Wang Tianxiao, we had some slight doubts about you before, but now I feel I can truly trust you."
"Huh? Don't you need to investigate this?"
Wang Tianxiao was somewhat surprised. He said he was happy to be wronged, but he didn't want to leave any reason for criticism.
Being upright and having a legitimate reason for being is the fundamental principle of Wang Tianxiao's conduct.
Nothing and no one can change this fundamental aspect of him.
"Haha, how do you know we didn't investigate?"
The male police officer laughed and said, "You don't know, children say the truth without thinking. I don't believe that a three-year-old child can utter a flawless lie."
Seeing that Wang Tianxiao was still puzzled, he explained further, "Didn't we have you two wait in this interrogation room for a while at the beginning? Actually, we were questioning a few children, and they basically recounted the whole incident."
