Chapter 203 I'm doing this all for your own good! (6)
When Jing Rongxiu and the others woke up, they were also put under guard by a male police officer.
The county's well-known entrepreneur has died. They must find out whether it was suicide or homicide. If it was suicide, what was the reason for the act? If it was homicide, who was the murderer?
After the nurse examined the wound, the male police officer began questioning Jing Rongxiu.
Jing Rongxiu and Wang Hui, being a married couple, were both equally concerned with saving face, and both of them omitted the fact that Xiong Bufan had thrown him and Fei Jun downstairs in their testimonies.
The male police officer meticulously recorded every word Jing Rongxiu said. In the ward next to Jing Rongxiu was Pengpeng, who was also slowly waking up. "Daddy, I want my daddy."
The policewoman accompanying him gently comforted him, "Little boy, you're awake. Can you tell Auntie what happened?"
"Ahhh, I want my dad!"
Jing Rongxiu: "Pengpeng, don't cry, Grandpa is here with you."
Pengpeng cried even harder and started struggling to get out of bed, saying, "Who wants you, you old geezer, to stay with me? I want my dad!"
Policewoman: "Little boy, don't make a fuss. We're not bad people." Pengpeng's leg was in a cast and his arm was bandaged. If he continued to make a fuss, his injury would worsen and it wouldn't help his recovery at all.
After being scolded by the old man, Jing Rongxiu remained silent. It was truly shameful. Did Fei Jun even know how to teach children? Did he know how to respect the elderly and care for the young? Now he finally understood why Ningning had become like that—it was all because Fei Jun had corrupted her.
Pengpeng was still crying and making a fuss. The policewoman had only recently graduated from police academy and had only dealt with difficult children in textbooks. This was her first time encountering one in real life, so she looked to Jing Rongxiu for help.
The old man in the hospital bed was the child's maternal grandfather. He probably knew how to soothe children. She was a police officer, not a kindergarten teacher, and dealing with children wasn't her forte.
Jing Rongxiu has also broken his leg and three ribs, and his other organs are bleeding to varying degrees. He is in great pain and has no desire to comfort the child.
The policewoman glanced at the policeman again. The policeman touched the tip of his nose and looked away. Don't look at him; he doesn't know how to comfort children.
Pengpeng was still crying and making a fuss, with waves of irritating noise reaching his ears.
Policewoman: "Baby, let's not cry, okay? We'll call your mom in a little while, okay?"
"No, I won't cry. Don't call her. She's not my mother." After saying that, Pengpeng, unusually, shut up. That woman was crazy, and he didn't want her to come near him.
The policewoman breathed a sigh of relief and poured Pengpeng a glass of water, explaining that a child's throat would hurt if he didn't drink water after crying.
After finishing his meal, Xiong Bufan strolled back to his ward and found police officers guarding the area, with warning tape in place. Unauthorized personnel were not allowed to approach, and Zhang Li had also moved out of the ward.
Kongkong was flipping through a law book. They had overlooked one thing before: murder is illegal in this world. Now, they wondered if it was still too late to put Fei Jun's soul back in.
She didn't want Xiong Bufan to go to jail. It was said that going to jail in the human world was a terrible thing, and if he went to jail, it would be completely contrary to the original owner's wish for freedom.
This is really a hassle. Why make the cat think about so many things? It will cause it to shed.
Xiong Bufan didn't have this concern. She just wanted to lie down somewhere, eat and drink well, and it would be even better if no one disturbed her rest.
The long arm of the law caught up with Xiong Bufan, who was clearly seen entering and leaving the ward in the hospital corridor surveillance footage. As the prime suspect in Fei Jun's death and the only uninjured person in the ward, Xiong Bufan was taken back to the police station.
The main reason was that assaulting a police officer was illegal, and Xiong Bufan missed the food in the police station canteen, so he obediently followed along without any resistance.
Kongkong thought Xiong Bufan just wanted to get a free meal at the police station, which is why he obediently followed along.
Xiong Bufan led her to the interrogation room and sat her down. Two police officers sat opposite her and began questioning her.
When Xiong Bufan was questioned for the first time, he was full of curiosity about everything around him, and he answered the police officers' questions in a very formal and methodical manner.
What were you doing around three or four o'clock yesterday afternoon?
"I was lying in a hospital bed when those two old bastards came to see me."
The officer frowned at the term "old man" and continued, "What happened in the room?"
Xiong Bufan thought for a moment and said, "My cheap husband went to the window to look at the scenery, but the old man pushed him down. The old man himself lost his footing and fell down. Then the little brat was too anxious and followed him down to find his father."
There was an old woman left in the house with me. She kowtowed to me like a madwoman, saying it was for my own good.
She's acting like she's sick; I was afraid she'd try to scam me, so I went to eat in the cafeteria.
The two officers exchanged a glance. The woman's words were full of inconsistencies, and she seemed somewhat mentally unstable.
Xiong Bufan said to Kongkong, "I'm telling the truth."
Kongkong: "Bufan, it's not important to convince yourself, what's important is to make others believe what you say."
"I understand."
Under the disbelieving gazes of the two police officers, Xiong Bufan raised his hands to head height and said, "If I'm lying, may I be struck by lightning."
“Bu Fan, I saw you being chased by lightning all over the last world and you weren’t afraid at all. Your oath is as good as nothing.”
Xiong Bufan: "Yes, yes."
When faced with doubt, most people choose to prove themselves. Among these methods, the one that requires the least substantial evidence is swearing an oath. Xiong Bufan chose the most common way for humans to prove themselves.
The two officers didn't know what to say, so they just meticulously recorded every word and asked a few more questions. The woman in front of them had to swear an oath after answering each question.
It felt like playing house with this woman. A normal person would only swear an oath when they were emotionally agitated, in the wrong, and had nothing to say. This woman swore an oath as casually as drinking water.
There are only two possibilities for this situation: either the woman is very strong-willed and doesn't believe in gods or ghosts, or she really wasn't lying.
Xiong Bufan cooperated with everything, but the police couldn't get any information out of her. After the police had Xiong Bufan sign the papers, they let her go.
The aroma of food wafted from the cafeteria. Xiong Bufan followed the smell and went to the cafeteria. She picked up two rice trays as if she knew the place well and served herself rice. She had eaten too much in the afternoon, so she would just have a little to satisfy her craving in the evening.
Kongkong rubbed her stomach in the space, not thinking about eating dinner. She didn't have a belly as big as Xiong Bufan's.
The police station allows family members to come for meals, as long as they register. There are no other mandatory requirements, which makes it convenient for Xiong Bufan to freeload a meal.
So when the police officers came to the canteen to eat one after another, they didn't care about Xiong Bufan, who was freeloading. They even joked, "Whose family member is he? Why aren't you feeding him? Look how hungry he is. You'd better treat him better in the future."
After finishing two plates, Xiong Bufan felt it wasn't enough, so he went to the window to find more food. The aunt in the kitchen thought she had met someone who understood her cooking skills, so she served Xiong Bufan two more large plates of food and told him to eat more.
