Which village are you from?
The thief leader suddenly asked coldly.
"What, thinking of getting revenge on me?"
Wang Tianxiao chuckled lightly, "Go to Dongzhi Village and ask around. Everyone knows me, Dong Bucun. I'll be waiting for you."
"Dong Bucun, is that it? I'll remember you." The bandit leader turned around with a sinister smile, waved his hand, and several people quickly disappeared into the crowd with him.
"Let's go, ma'am, to the police station."
"Walk!"
The old lady was stubborn and inflexible, clinging to her own beliefs and prejudices, convinced that Wang Tianxiao was no good person.
Wang Tianxiao also knew that being a good person came at a price.
People tend to assume malice towards strangers and find it hard to believe that a stranger would show kindness to them for no reason.
This kind of thinking is more likely to appear in people whose moral character is already low.
Judging from this old woman's unrestrained speech and domineering attitude, she is certainly not a kind person, so it's not surprising that she would do such a thing.
When the two arrived at the police station, the gatekeeper was a little confused while registering them. He had to confirm the reason for their visit several times before he was able to register it. Soon after, they were taken to an interrogation room.
They were questioned by a male and a female police officer.
The male police officers were older, with solemn and steady faces. They looked dashing and imposing in their police uniforms.
The female police officer next to him who was taking notes had a short haircut and a round face. Although she tried to put on a serious and dignified appearance, she didn't put any pressure on Wang Tianxiao, perhaps because she was young. Instead, he found her rather cute.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
The older policeman lit a cigarette and pulled over an ashtray, placing it in front of him.
He had already sized up Wang Tianxiao and the old lady before asking them questions, and probably already had a plan in mind.
He seemed to be handling it with ease.
He seemed to have everything under control.
"I……"
"I'll go first."
Just as Wang Tianxiao was about to explain the situation, the old lady interrupted him.
It's as if you'll suffer if you're slow.
Wang Tianxiao smiled and gestured for her to go first.
"Officer, please listen to me," the old woman began to say. "The weather's been getting warmer lately, and the seasons are about to change. I was thinking the children don't have any light clothes yet, so I thought I'd go to the market today..."
"Get to the point," the police officer interrupted her impatiently. "Why didn't you start talking from birth?"
The old lady was taken aback. She was a little unhappy to be interrupted, but even she knew that the police officer in front of her was a government official and she absolutely could not give him a hard time.
Even the most clueless person knows that since ancient times, the common people have never fought against the officials.
So she immediately put on a wronged look, pouting and saying, "I'm about to say it, don't be so impatient. We have to take things one step at a time, and we have to say things one step at a time."
"Speak quickly." The police officer's tone became even more serious.
The female police officer looked at the male police officer with some confusion, probably wondering why the old lady, who was the plaintiff, was not being treated well.
"Okay, I'll tell you, I'll tell you."
So the old lady embellished her story and recounted what had happened on the street.
Throughout the entire process, the police did not interrupt or ask any questions, and Wang Tianxiao sat quietly to the side, not refuting anything the old lady said.
The female police officer recorded the process in her statement, following the old woman's instructions.
"...In short, that's the gist of the situation. This bastard...shameless human trafficker, taking advantage of my old age, is trying to kidnap my poor granddaughter. Police officers, you must arrest him immediately and put him in jail, no, just shoot him!!"
"I am aware of the situation you described."
The male police officer crushed the cigarette butt in the ashtray, lit another one, took a deep drag, and slowly exhaled a thick cloud of smoke.
He finally turned his gaze to Wang Tianxiao, staring into his eyes for several dozen seconds.
Wang Tianxiao did not flinch in the slightest; he maintained a faint smile, calm and composed.
"Now it's your turn to speak."
Wang Tianxiao nodded. "Comrade, the old lady next to me just now spoke at length. What I want to say is that I don't know whether what she said about herself is true or false, nor do I care to know. But what she said about me, almost nothing is true."
"Oh, really? Then you must have another version."
Wang Tianxiao said with a wry smile, "Of course I have a true version, but before I tell you my story, I actually regret that I am sitting here now, being questioned, to explain this matter."
He sighed and continued, "Every matter has a truth and a falsehood. If, and I mean if, what this old man next to me is saying is true, then I'll be labeled a human trafficker, right? But what if he isn't..."
He didn't continue speaking, but sat up straight and began to recount the true events.
"You are all experienced law enforcement officers, so it should be easy for you to distinguish the truth of this matter. Any illegal act must first have a motive and the conditions for committing the crime, right? Obviously, putting aside the motive, just considering the conditions for committing the crime, I certainly don't meet them. You can easily find out my identity, my job, and of course, my family."
Therefore, it's not difficult to confirm that the three-year-old girl I was carrying on my shoulders is my daughter. Furthermore, my financial situation and the nature of my work indirectly support the claim that I lacked a motive to commit the crime.
Wang Tianxiao looked at the police officer and waited until the officer nodded in agreement before continuing.
