Zhang Fang cried out, "Brigade Commander Song, help me! Brigade Commander Song, please save me!"
Brigade Commander Song said with a grim face, "Li Jiuqing, what are you doing? Is the army a place where you can run wild? Is this how you usually treat your comrades?"
Li Jiuqing said, "Brigade Commander Song! It was she who stole those needles from me. I really pulled a lot of needles out of my chin. Those were really needles that Li Xien had stuck in my chin."
But Zhang Fang stole the needles—that's evidence! She's in cahoots with Li Xiyue! We must interrogate her thoroughly and find those needles!"
Zhang Fang hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Brigadier Song, I don't know what she said! I don't know anything!"
I went back to my tent to sleep, and then she came back. She rummaged through everything looking for something, insisting that I had stolen some needle from her.
I told her that she couldn't find a needle and that I could lend her one, so I gave her two needles. As a result, she beat me up and dragged me here!
Waaaaah! I'm so innocent! I didn't take anything! What Li Xian, what needle? I don't know anything about it!
Li Jiuqing said, "Brigade Commander Song, don't listen to her. She and Li Xiyue are in cahoots. Otherwise, how could I have lost those needles? They were all pulled out one by one from my chin!"
God knows how painful that was! Li Xien was so cruel; she stuck so many needles into me!
Commander Song, his head throbbing from the noise, ordered his men, "Go and fetch Li Xi'en!"
The orderly quickly ran to call Li Xien.
Li Xiyue had been waiting for a long time. As soon as the orderly arrived, she followed the orderly to Commander Song's office.
As soon as she entered the room, she saw Zhang Fang sitting on the ground and Li Jiuqing with blood all over his chin.
When Li Jiuqing saw Li Xiyue arrive, she reached out and grabbed Li Xiyue's collar.
Li Xiyue slapped Li Jiuqing's hand away and said, "What are you doing? What's going on?"
Zhang Fang sat on the ground, sobbing, "Your grudges have nothing to do with me, I didn't do anything!"
Li Jiuqing said, "It was you, it was you who said it on my chin!"
Li Xiyue said, "I stuck a needle in your chin? How did I do it? When did I do it? Who saw it? Where is the needle?"
Li Jiuqing's heart skipped a beat when she was asked this question. She said, "Um... no one saw you poke me with needles. Those needles... those people were hidden by Zhang Fang!"
Zhang Fang cried and said, "I didn't hide anything, I didn't do anything! You can't slander me! Commander Song, you have to stand up for me!"
Li Xiyue asked, "You said Zhang Fang stole your needle. Which eye did you use to see her steal it? Who saw her steal the needle? Who saw the needle?"
When asked about her choking reaction, Li Jiuqing said, "I didn't see her steal the needles. By the time I got there, she must have already finished stealing them!"
Others probably... probably didn't see it either, as she was the only one in the room at the time.
I've seen those needles before; I pulled them out of my chin one by one with my own hands!
She couldn't help but touch her chin; heaven knows how much pain she was in. Even now, her chin was still burning, and blood was still seeping out. Fresh blood oozed out every time she spoke.
Li Xiyue crossed her arms over her chest and said, "That means you're the only one who's ever seen those so-called needles; nobody else has."
No one saw Zhang Fang steal the needle, yet you say she did. No one saw me prick you with the needle, yet you say I did.
Even those needles you keep talking about, nobody has ever seen them, they might not have even existed!
Li Jiuqing's eyes widened, and she said in a panic, "I really saw those needles, they were all pulled out of my chin one by one. I'm telling the truth!"
Li Xiyue said, "Who knows if you're telling the truth? Do you have any witnesses? If you don't have any witnesses, how can you prove that you're telling the truth?"
Li Jiuqing opened her mouth, but couldn't find the words she wanted to say; her thoughts had been completely disrupted by Li Xiyue.
What on earth is going on? She was so confident of victory, how come all of a sudden she's now being accused of making baseless accusations!
Her hands gripped her hair uncontrollably, and she shook her head repeatedly, saying, "I didn't! I didn't!! I'm telling the truth, everything I said is true! Those needles really were there!"
I had to use tweezers to hold the needles and dip them in blue ink to see the transparent needles!
"How cruel you are! You stuck a transparent needle into my chin. I can't even see it!"
Li Xiyue raised an eyebrow and said, "Brigadier Song, what she said is even stranger, what transparent needle?"
Where can I find a transparent needle? Can our country's manufacturing technology even produce one?
Brigade Commander Song said, "Anyway, I've never heard of needles being transparent. Does anyone know of any transparent needles?"
He pressed his throbbing temple and looked at Li Jiuqing speechlessly. Was this a researcher sent by his superiors?
He looks like a mental patient no matter how you look at him!
The orderly standing to the left and right of Brigade Commander Song said, "Brigade Commander, we've never seen a transparent needle before, let alone heard of one!"
"That's right, this is the first time I've heard of transparent needles. What are they made of? Are they made of transparent metal?"
"What a joke! How could there be transparent metal? Li Jiuqing is clearly lying!"
Brigade Commander Song said, "Go and call Mu Cangnan over. His family has studied abroad, so he may have a broader perspective than us."
The orderly immediately ran to call Mu Cangnan.
Soon, Mu Cangnan followed the orderly to Commander Song's office.
When Li Jiuqing saw Mu Cangnan arrive, she quickly covered her chin with a handkerchief.
She cried to Mu Cangnan, "Comrade Mu! Li Xien harmed me! She stuck so many needles in my chin! They were transparent! You can be my witness, there really were transparent needles!"
Mu Cangnan was taken aback by Li Jiuqing's words. He turned to look at Brigade Commander Song and said, "Reporting to the leader, what brings you here?"
He skipped Li Jiuqing's question and wondered why Brigade Commander Song had summoned him.
While talking to Brigade Commander Song, he glanced at Li Xien out of the corner of his eye.
Every time he sees this girl, he feels she looks like Li Xiyue!
If it weren't for the fact that Li Xiyue couldn't possibly travel back and forth between the capital and the front lines, he would really suspect that the girl in front of him was Li Xiyue!
Brigade Commander Song said, "Li Jiuqing keeps saying that Li Xien stuck a needle into her chin. She also said that she pulled all the needles out and that the needles were transparent."
Did you ever see a transparent needle when you were studying abroad?
Mu Cangnan shook his head and said, "I've never seen a transparent needle before. Is it a sewing needle?"
Brigade Commander Song said, "Probably, anyway, it's a needle!"
Mu Cangnan said, "I've never heard of transparent needles? What are they made of?!"
Li Jiuqing grabbed Mu Cangnan's arm and said, "It was her! She's the one who stuck the needles into my chin. Those needles were transparent, I'm not lying!"
Her eyes were brimming with tears as she gazed intently at Mu Cangnan…
