The lights in the emergency room were on all the time. Qin Nan sat on a bench, waiting quietly outside the door.
After waiting for a while, the phone rang. Qin Nan saw Ye Nianwen's name, hesitated for a moment, and answered the call.
"Hello."
"Um, brother-in-law," Ye Nianwen hesitated, "Are you guys still coming tonight?"
"No, I'm not coming. You guys eat."
After thinking for a while, Qin Nan added, "Tell your parents that Sibei is feeling a little unwell. I'm taking care of her. When she gets better, I'll take her to celebrate Dad's birthday."
Ye Nianwen responded, and suddenly a nurse's voice came from the side: "Where are Ye Sibei's family members? Ye Sibei's family members, please come and sign."
Qin Nan hung up the phone immediately after hearing this. He went to the nurse, who handed him a bunch of documents and briefly explained the risks. Qin Nan then signed and paid the bill.
The phone in his pocket kept ringing, but he didn't answer it. After he paid the money, his phone was still ringing. He picked up the phone and heard Ye Nianwen's anxious voice: "Where are you? What happened to my sister?"
Qin Nan was silent for a moment, then opened his mouth and said, "The Second People's Hospital, alcohol poisoning, drug overdose reaction."
Ye Nianwen hung up the phone before he finished speaking. He went back to the house and grabbed his bag. Zhao Chuchu came out with a plate and asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Are you going out?"
"I," Ye Nianwen's eyes were red, he lowered his head and tried to speak calmly, "My case..."
"Did something happen to Sibei?"
Huang Guifen rushed out of the kitchen and stared at Ye Nianwen. Ye Nianwen was speechless. Huang Guifen blushed and murmured, "I know... I know!"
"Where are the people? Where are they?"
"The Second Hospital..."
"Then what are you still standing there for?" Huang Guifen rushed back to the kitchen to turn off the fire, and hurried out, "Hurry up!"
As the family rushed to the hospital, Qin Nan sat on a bench in the hospital, looking down at his phone.
There was an old photo on his phone with the words "Group photo of the first grade of Nancheng No. 2 Middle School in 2006" written on it. He found the familiar figure in the dense crowd.
It was a girl, wearing a school uniform and a ponytail, smiling brightly and proudly. Behind the girl stood a tall boy. He didn't look at the camera, but looked down at the girl. Even through the photo, one could feel the youthfulness and tenderness of that time.
He watched quietly for a long time, and then the family came running over in a hurry. Ye Nianwen rushed in front of them. He grabbed Qin Nan's shoulders, panting heavily, and asked in panic: "How is my sister?"
"inside."
Qin Nan put away his phone and looked up at Huang Guifen and Ye Ling who were running after him.
He stood up, took the initiative to walk to Huang Guifen, and supported her: "Mom."
"Where's Sibei? How's Sibei?"
"We are still trying to save you. Please sit down first and don't panic."
Qin Nan helped Huang Guifen sit down, and then helped Ye Ling. Ye Ling also looked at Qin Nan anxiously: "What happened to her? Why did she take so long to come to the hospital for emergency treatment?"
"Drank too much and got alcohol poisoning."
Qin Nan didn't say anything too specific. Huang Guifen was stunned. Ye Ling frowned. "Alcohol poisoning? How could a girl drink so much? How did she drink? Why didn't you watch her?"
"Dad," Ye Nianwen came over quickly and supported Ye Ling, "Please sit down first and stop arguing. If you have anything to say, wait until I come out."
"Yes, uncle," Zhao Chuchu reacted quickly and hurried forward to support Ye Ling: "Don't worry, everything will be clear when I come out. Brother Nan is Ye's husband, he won't hurt her."
These words did not comfort Ye Ling. He waved his hands, his eyes reddened, and sat back on the chair.
Huang Guifen seemed to know something. She stood up, walked quickly out of the corridor, found a deserted place, and wiped her tears silently.
The family waited until almost eleven o'clock, when the patient was finally wheeled out of the emergency room. Everyone gathered around him. The doctor looked a little tired, but not too worried: "It's been treated. After he wakes up, he will be given an IV and observed for a few days."
These words made everyone feel relieved. Huang Guifen stepped back and Zhao Chuchu hurried to support her.
Ye Sibei was transferred from the emergency room to the general ward. The whole family was worried and stayed in the ward. A few people fell asleep sitting outside the door. Huang Guifen took care of him by the bed, and stayed with Qin Nan and Ye Nianwen to watch over Ye Sibei.
Qin Nan waited until five in the morning and felt a little sleepy. He went out to the corridor and lit a cigarette. He stood in the morning breeze, watching the sun rise little by little, and heard footsteps behind him.
Qin Nan turned around and found that it was Ye Nianwen.
"You didn't sleep?"
Qin Nan asked softly, and Ye Nianwen smiled and said, "I took a nap and came out for a walk."
"Your family is really weird," Qin Nan said, standing on the steps of the corridor, holding a cigarette in his hand. "You don't treat her well at ordinary times, but when something happens, it seems like your deep affection and friendship are gone. Who are you doing this for?"
Ye Nianwen didn't speak for a long time, then he said softly: "Love is real, and some deep-rooted concepts are also real. Just like my mother, she actually cares about my sister, but she thinks that women should live like this. She doesn't allow my sister to go beyond her lifestyle, but she hopes that my sister will be well."
"Like me, you said I advised my sister not to call the police in order to avoid getting myself into trouble. There may be such a factor, but I still feel that compared to the rumors and troubles that would follow calling the police, not calling the police may cause more harm."
"You know, actually reporting this case to the police is just the beginning," Ye Nianwen turned to look at him, "After reporting to the police, she has to take notes again and again, recount her experiences, she has to recall the painful moments again and again, she has to accept everyone's judgment and rumors, and she has to accept the possibility of losing the case."
"I'm not afraid of getting into trouble. I just don't understand why I have to endure so much just to have a chance of winning the case."
Qin Nan didn't say anything. He just looked at him. The morning breeze made the cigarette in his hand flicker. At this time, Ye Sibei was in the ward, slowly opening his eyes.
She turned her head to look out the window. The sky was getting a little brighter. When she turned around, she saw Huang Guifen lying on the head of the bed.
Huang Guifen's half-white hair imprinted on her eyes, which made her eyes sore and her heart tremble.
She didn't dare wake her up, because she knew that once Huang Guifen woke up, she might crush the courage she had accumulated with great difficulty, just like she had done countless times before.
She turned her head to check the half-full bottle of IV drip and felt her physical condition.
She was very weak, but not completely unable to walk. She gritted her teeth, raised her hand to turn off the drip, pulled out the needle from her hand, tiptoed to open the quilt, took the phone from the side, got out of bed, put on Ye Ling who was lying on the stool, and Zhao Chuchu who was leaning against the wall, and struggled to walk out.
At dawn, Qin Nan thought for a long time and said slowly, "When I entered the room yesterday, it was a mess."
"There were bottles of wine everywhere, and the air was filled with the lingering smell of alcohol and cigarettes. There were pill boxes in the bedroom, and everything she vomited was everywhere."
"I almost couldn't recognize her."
"Ye Nianwen, why do you think people should be upright?"
Ye Nianwen turned to look at him, and Qin Nan smiled: "Because justice is the foundation for people to live well. If a world does not even have the most basic justice, how can you make a person believe that she can live well in this world?"
"People can bully her without any punishment, and she does good but gets evil in return. How can you expect your sister to accept such a world?"
"She called the police, of course there were many difficulties, but at least she was struggling. If she had just given up, then it would have been calm, but that would have been the source of despair."
"But there is no such thing as absolute truth..."
"If so," Qin Nan interrupted him, "what do you need to do? Aren't lawyers, judges, and prosecutors here to maintain justice in this world?"
"You, me, and Ye Sibei," Qin Nan asked seriously, "Aren't all kind-hearted people in this world fighting for justice all their lives?"
Ye Nianwen stared at Qin Nan in a daze. At this moment, Huang Guifen's hysterical shouting came from the hospital: "Sibei! Sibei!!"
Qin Nan and Ye Nianwen looked at each other and immediately ran towards the ward. They saw Ye Ling and Zhao Chuchu standing behind Huang Guifen. Huang Guifen was holding a nurse and said, "Where is she? How could you let her go? Where is she?!"
"Mom, don't worry."
Ye Nianwen stopped Huang Guifen and said, "Sister, where did you see her go?"
"Just went out along the corridor."
The nurse was also a little scared and pointed to the hospital corridor: "She should want to leave the hospital."
"Search separately."
Qin Nan immediately said, "We were standing at the door just now, but we didn't see her. She must have gone to the back door."
Ye Nianwen nodded, and Huang Guifen ran to the back door when she heard his words.
The family went to the hospital exit in different directions to look for the person separately. Zhao Chuchu comforted the nurse and followed to look for him.
Ye Sibei was very weak, so she walked and rested. At first, she met Qin Nan and Ye Nianwen in the corridor, and could only go out through the back door.
She didn't want to see anyone now. She was afraid that others would influence her decision, and she was also afraid that she would lose the courage she had finally acquired.
She is going to call the police.
This time, she will definitely go.
She sat beside the flower bed for a while, propped herself up and stood up. After taking a few steps, she heard a loud shout: "Sibei!"
Ye Sibei raised her head and saw Huang Guifen standing in front of her. She turned around and wanted to run back. After running two steps, she saw Ye Nianwen appear in her sight, panting and stopping her: "Sister."
Ye Sibei looked at Huang Guifen, then at Ye Nianwen, she felt like a trapped beast with no way to escape.
She breathed rapidly, and Ye Ling, Zhao Chuchu, and Qin Nan arrived one after another.
Huang Guifen walked towards her, cursing as she walked: "Why are you running away? If you want to die, just die immediately. Why are you torturing me like this?"
As she spoke, she grabbed her hand and pulled her to the ward: "Let's go back to the ward, you are going crazy."
"I do not go… "
Ye Sibei didn't know where he got the courage from, he shook Huang Guifen off violently, trembling: "I won't go back!"
"Where are you going if you don't go back?"
Huang Guifen got angry: "Haven't you caused enough trouble? Are you willing to torture me to death?"
"yes."
Ye Ling came forward panting: "Sibei, you are making a fuss. You are not well yet. Where are you going?"
"Yes, sister," Zhao Chuchu came over, "Is there anything you can't do after you get well? Is it necessary to be in such a hurry?"
Ye Sibei's lips trembled. She was surrounded by everyone. Huang Guifen was completely furious. She grabbed her hand and dragged her inside while cursing: "It's not up to you whether to go back or not. Do you think you've grown up and become independent? Come on, follow me!"
"I do not go."
Ye Sibei struggled: "I won't leave."
"Where are you going if you don't leave?"
"Yeah, where are you going, sister?"
"Sibei, listen to your mother..."
"I won't leave. I won't leave."
She struggled hard and was dragged forward. At this moment, a hand suddenly reached out and held Huang Guifen's hand.
Ye Sibei looked up blankly and saw Qin Nan separating Ye Ling and pulling Huang Guifen's hands apart.
He placed his hands on Ye Sibei's shoulders and looked at her seriously.
"where are you going?"
Ye Sibei's lips trembled. She didn't dare to say it, but she knew that she should say it.
Looking at Qin Nan's eyes, Qin Nan stared at her: "Tell them."
He asked seriously: "Where are you going?"
"I," Ye Sibei turned his head and looked at the people around him who were puzzled. Huang Guifen's face changed. Ye Sibei looked at them and said word by word, "I'm going to call the police."
"Call the police?"
Ye Ling was stunned for a moment, and Ye Sibei looked at Zhao Chuchu: "I didn't return home on the night of April 9th."
Zhao Chuchu's eyes widened. Ye Sibei raised his hand and looked at everyone: "I was raped."
"Ye Sibei!"
Huang Guifen rushed over, but Qin Nan stopped her: "Mom, calm down, let her talk."
"I want to ask for a way for myself."
Ye Sibei said it, and suddenly felt that there was nothing to be afraid of. She calmed down and looked at everyone: "I'm going to call the police."
"Ye Sibei! You're crazy! You're crazy!"
Huang Guifen used all her strength to push Qin Nan away. Just as Qin Nan was about to move forward, he saw Ye Sibei's expression.
Ye Sibei looked at Huang Guifen, and countless suppressed things in his mind burst out.
Qin Nan paused, Huang Guifen rushed forward and held Ye Sibei's shoulders: "Don't talk nonsense. You were not raped, and you can't call the police. You didn't report it at the beginning, and you can't report it now."
"Why?"
Ye Sibei asked calmly, just like the first time he called the police.
Huang Guifen looked at her incredulously: "Why? Didn't I tell you that you called the police? Do you still have any shame? If you call the police, what do you want others to say about you..."
"I've thought about it." Ye Sibei interrupted Huang Guifen and looked at her. "But they said that I was in pain, but I endured it and didn't call the police. Does that mean I'm not in pain? Since we have to suffer, why should I be the one who endures it?"
"What about me? Where's your dad? Where's Nianwen and Chuchu?!"
Huang Guifen grabbed Ye Sibei by the collar and said, "Don't you think about us? What will people say about you in the future? How will your father and I go out in the future? And Nianwen and Chuchu are going to get married this year. How can they get married after you got into trouble?"
"How can you be so selfish?!" Huang Guifen frantically pulled Ye Sibei's collar, "How can you be so selfish?!"
"I'm selfish," Ye Sibei couldn't help but lower her voice when she heard Huang Guifen's words. She seemed to find it a little ridiculous. "Am I selfish?"
"You and Dad," countless emotions surged in her heart. Ye Sibei was so brave for the first time after graduation. She raised her hand and pointed at Ye Ling, "You wanted a son, so you gave birth to me and Nianwen, and hid me in the countryside for three years. Dad lost his job, and the family was poor and starving. You still say that I ruined the whole family. Aren't you selfish?"
"You want to send Ye Nianwen to a good school and pay for his school selection fee, but you don't give me a penny for my studies. You are not selfish."
"After graduation, I found a job in the provincial capital. You were afraid that no one would take care of you in your old age, so you came to my workplace and cried and made a scene. I lost my job and was forced to return to South City by you. Aren't you selfish?"
"I'm getting married and working, and you didn't ask me if I'm okay with that. You didn't think about whether I would have a conflict with Qin Nan. Ye Nianwen wants to buy a house and get married, so why should I not take the money?!"
"You say I'm selfish, but what about you?! What have you done for me?! I've come this far, I don't ask you to do anything, I just want to get justice for myself, is this also selfish?!"
"yes!"
As soon as the words fell, Huang Guifen yelled hysterically: "How can you not be selfish? I gave birth to you!"
Huang Guifen stared at her, tears falling from her eyes, which were cloudy with age: "I raised you! I fed you and clothed you, and I worried about you every day. You said I didn't do anything for you?"
"Who do you think I didn't let you call the police for? Who do you think I didn't let you divorce for? Do you think I'm afraid of those gossips? I'm afraid that you can't make it..."
"Then let me call the police!"
Ye Sibei shouted loudly, she sobbed loudly, staring at Huang Guifen and speaking very quickly: "I tell you, the only reason I am standing here instead of on the rooftop is because I want to send that man to jail! I am not afraid of death, so why should I be afraid of not being able to endure it?! If you really think I am your daughter, let me go!"
Huang Guifen was stunned.
The mother and daughter faced each other in tears, one was shocked and confused, the other was angry and painful.
Mothers never seem to understand their mistakes, and children never seem to be able to express their pain.
Ye Nianwen watched the fighting mother and daughter quietly.
He rarely faced such a scene directly. At first, every time Ye Sibei and Huang Guifen quarreled, he would stay away from them. Sometimes he actually knew that they were quarreling for him, but he and Ye Ling always pretended not to hear.
Every time, he would wait until the two of them finished arguing, then he would quietly go to find Ye Sibei who was crying in the dark with a toy, hand her a toy, and persuade her: "Sister, stop crying. When I grow up, I will protect you and never let mom scold you again."
But when he grew up, not only did he not fulfill his promise, but because of his adult shrewdness, it became even more difficult for him to see this scene.
But when such a scene appeared in front of him, he finally realized that Qin Nan was right.
He was a spineless person. He arrogantly thought that Ye Sibei was not in that much pain, and arrogantly thought that these injuries did not exist.
He never stood up to protect his sister, but his sister had protected him from the wind and rain for more than 20 years.
He looked at them for a long time, then said hoarsely, "Go ahead."
Everyone looked at Ye Nianwen. Ye Nianwen sniffed, turned his head, looked at Ye Sibei, and said with seriousness and support: "Sister, I will go to the police station with you."
Ye Sibei didn't say anything, tears welled up in her eyes.
The moment she heard Ye Nianwen's words, she suddenly felt a sense of power, as if a child who had been asking for something finally got recognition.
She finally realized what she wanted by standing here and making such a scene.
Ye Nianwen walked up to Ye Sibei and bowed seriously.
"sorry."
When Ye Sibei heard the word "I'm sorry", she turned her head away. She didn't dare to look at Ye Nianwen, for fear that she would be soft-hearted again.
Ye Nianwen stood up and looked at her seriously: "I was ignorant before. In fact, I knew a lot of things and I noticed them, but I didn't dare to think deeply. I felt that if I didn't do it, I wouldn't have to feel guilty and I could enjoy the benefits given by my sister as a matter of course. I didn't care about my sister's difficulties. Every time I encountered something, I would subconsciously avoid conflicts and give myself countless reasons. But in fact, I know, sister, you did the right thing."
Ye Sibei raised his head to look at him. Ye Nianwen stared at Ye Sibei seriously. "When I was in school, my teacher told us that the law is fighting against the evil in the world. This road is never easy to walk, but some people still go on it."
"Because if more people walk on an uneven road, it will become narrower and narrower and harder to walk on. If you don't fight for your rights, no one will know what is right or wrong in the end."
"At first I didn't want you to take this path, because I thought it was too hard, but I didn't ask you if you wanted to go. But if you are willing, then I will accompany you."
"Go call the police," Ye Nianwen laughed, "no matter what happens, you are not wrong."
"Thanks."
Ye Sibei took a deep breath and repeated it seriously: "Thank you."
"There's still money," Ye Nianwen remembered something, "I'll pay for the loan later. I'll find a way."
"You just graduated..." Huang Guifen said hurriedly, Ye Nianwen interrupted her: "Mom, I'm not a child anymore."
Huang Guifen was stunned. Ye Nianwen turned to look at Qin Nan and said, "Brother-in-law, help me get in the car first. I'll go there in a while."
Qin Nan didn't say much, he stretched out his hand and supported Ye Sibei. Ye Sibei was shaking all over, she leaned on him, he simply carried her on his back.
Lying on Qin Nan's body, feeling his warmth, her trembling eased little by little.
She raised her hands and put them around his neck. Qin Nan asked her softly, "Are you feeling uncomfortable? Are you feeling okay?"
"Okay." Ye Sibei looked at the sun rising from the distance, "There's no better time than now."
Qin Nan carried her to the car, fastened her seat belt, and covered her with his clothes to keep her warm.
After waiting for a while, Ye Nianwen came back with a briefcase, a quilt, a cup of sugar and salt water, and a bowl of porridge.
He took a quilt and covered Ye Sibei. After drinking a few glasses of sugar and salt water, Ye Sibei wrapped himself in the quilt.
The car started slowly and drove towards the police station. Ye Nianwen sat in the back and told her the procedure for reporting a case.
"I've brought your ID and other documents with me. Once you're in, just say you called the police. The most troublesome part is actually taking a statement. They'll ask you to review all the details. Don't be afraid, just say it."
Ye Sibei nodded.
It was seven o'clock when they drove to the police station. Ye Sibei lay in the passenger seat for a while. As soon as the door of the police station opened, Qin Nan carried her and Ye Nianwen on his back and walked in.
Ye Nianwen ran around for a long time. After reporting the case according to the procedure, Ye Sibei was taken to the interrogation room to take a statement.
While sitting in the interrogation room waiting, Ye Sibei was a little nervous. Even though she had prepared herself mentally, she still felt scared when facing strangers who had nothing to do with her.
She sat in the interrogation room and waited for a while, then a man and a woman walked in. Ye Sibei looked up and recognized them as the two policemen who handled her case when she first called the police, Lin Feng and Zhang Yong.
Zhang Yong came in and sat down first, and Lin Feng closed the door behind him.
After sitting down, Zhang Yong opened the folder in his hand and looked up at Ye Sibei: "Hey, you're back?"
Hearing this teasing, Ye Sibei looked embarrassed. Lin Feng walked over and pushed Zhang Yong, saying in a low voice: "Shut up."
As she spoke, she sat down next to him and tried to comfort Ye Sibei: "Sister Ye, don't be nervous. This is the character of my master. Don't let him talk nonsense."
Ye Sibei nodded nervously. Lin Feng opened the notebook where he had recorded his thoughts. Zhang Yong turned the pen around and said, "You're still wearing your hospital gown. Are you in such a hurry to come here?"
"I'm afraid it'll be late," Ye Sibei lowered his head and rubbed his hands unconsciously, "I won't dare to come."
When Zhang Yong heard this, he was silent for a moment, then turned to look at Lin Feng: "Let's get started."
Lin Feng raised his head and looked at Ye Sibei: "Sister Ye, let's confirm the basic information first. What's your name?"
"Ye Sibei."
"age?"
"27."
"family address?"
“Room 503, Residential Building No. 9, Fuxing Street, Nancheng City.”
"employer?"
“Fuqiang Real Estate.”
"Why did you come to the Public Security Bureau?"
"I want to report a crime."
"What is the specific content of the report?"
"Sexual assault."
Ye Sibei spoke in a low voice.
"When and where did the incident happen?"
"I woke up on the morning of April 10th, in the reed fields near Guantian Village."
In fact, Lin Feng and Zhang Yong knew all of this. It was not until this point that they began to ask about the specific content they really wanted to know.
"Could you please describe the whole incident in detail?" Lin Feng said in a low voice.
"good."
Ye Sibei didn't dare to look at Zhang Yong. She tried to stare at Lin Feng and stammered, "On the night of April 9, I drank a little..."
"Where did you drink it?" Zhang Yong interrupted her, "How much did you drink?"
This interruption made Ye Sibei's heart beat faster. In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through her mind.
Did he suspect her of seducing him with alcohol
Did he think she deserved it
"Sister Ye, please tell me more details, starting from that afternoon. The more details we have, the more helpful it will be for us to solve the case."
Lin Feng tried his best to comfort her. Ye Sibei nodded. Her face looked a little ugly. She was about to start talking, but when she was about to speak, she couldn't help but glance at Zhang Yong next to her.
She found it difficult to explain all this in detail in front of the opposite sex, but she couldn't bring herself to refuse. She could only start from that afternoon when Fan Jiancheng asked everyone to stay.
She told him everything she had remembered, and Lin Feng carefully wrote it down word for word, while Zhang Yong listened with his chin propped up, interrupting from time to time to ask a question.
"When did you start to feel unconscious?"
“When I got in the car.”
"Who got in the car with you?"
"My friend, my brother's girlfriend, Zhao Chuchu, and my boss, Fan Jiancheng."
"You seem to trust them?"
"right."
"Why trust Fan Jiancheng?"
"Because he is a very nice person, he takes good care of all of us, and he is upright. In the past, when someone wanted to take advantage of me, he helped them. I think he is very upright."
Zhang Yong nodded and raised his hand: "Continue."
"Not long after I got in the car, I lost consciousness, probably because of the alcohol. When I woke up, I was in a car. After the incident was over..."
"Wait." Zhang Yong interrupted her, "What's going on?"
Ye Sibei froze. In an instant, memories came flooding back, making her face turn pale instantly.
Zhang Yong looked at her, unaware, and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Sex..." Ye Sibei's voice trembled, "Sexual assault."
"Can you be more specific?" Zhang Yong asked.
Ye Sibei fell silent.
In fact, she understood. Even at the moment when the incident happened, she also had this idea in mind and tried hard to remember all the relevant information, so that when she recalled it now, she could clearly remember many details.
These details and emotions besieged her desperately, making her return to the moment of victimization in an instant at all times.
But for some reason, she couldn't say anything at this moment.
She always couldn't help wondering what the two people opposite her were thinking.
After hearing these details, did they find fault with her in their hearts? Would they spread all these things to others afterwards
She calmed down, suppressed her wild thoughts, and continued with difficulty: "I woke up and felt like I was lying in the back seat of a car, my eyes were covered, and there was a leather seat underneath me, very narrow, and he was lying on top of me, moving."
"When you say moving, do you mean the other person is touching, having sex, or something else?"
There was no warmth in Zhang Yong's words. Ye Sibei gritted his teeth and replied, "Sex."
"How long did the journey last?"
"I have no idea."
"How many people are there in total?"
"One!" Ye Sibei responded very quickly.
Zhang Yong nodded, propped his chin with one hand and looked at the file, while turning the pen with the other hand and asked: "How many postures did you use?"
Ye Sibei felt a little embarrassed. She lowered her head and said in a low voice: "Two."
"What is the difference?"
"He was on top of me and I was on my knees."
"Did he speak to you?"
"said."
"What did you say?"
Ye Sibei paused. Seeing that she didn't say anything, Zhang Yong looked up in confusion: "Huh?"
“Is this important?”
Ye Sibei didn't dare to look up: "He was speaking in a different voice, I couldn't tell who it was, but probably..."
"What did he say?" Zhang Yong interrupted her.
Ye Sibei did not respond. The unbearable memories enveloped her and she trembled slightly.
Zhang Yong called her: "Ye Sibei?"
"He should be quite old," she answered irrelevantly, as if she had not heard Zhang Yong's voice at all, and went on to say what she thought was more useful information, "He has thick hair, he may not be very tall, he has chest hair..."
Zhang Yong observed her. Ye Sibei seemed to be staring at the table in front of her, repeating what she remembered as if reciting a book: "She smells of cigarettes and alcohol, and doesn't have much muscle..."
"Ye Sibei," Zhang Yong interrupted her, "What did he say?"
"Can we get another police officer?"
Ye Sibei finally raised her head and looked at Lin Feng for help. Lin Feng hesitated and looked at Zhang Yong. Zhang Yong lowered his head and said nothing. Lin Feng thought about it and finally comforted Ye Sibei: "Sister Ye, even if you change someone else, these are questions that must be asked."
"Is it necessary?"
Ye Sibei asked again. Lin Feng didn't dare to look at her and nodded: "This is all to find the truth."
"If you are looking for the truth," Ye Sibei asked hoarsely, "Isn't the information I gave enough?"
Lin Feng didn't reply this time. Zhang Yong looked up at her and said, "Not enough."
"Why?" Ye Sibei couldn't understand. "Isn't the most important truth about who he is and then arrest him?"
"Ye Sibei," Zhang Yong said in a steady voice, "I hope you can understand that what you say may not be the truth to others except you."
Ye Sibei was stunned. She looked at Zhang Yong. There was no fear or pity in Zhang Yong's eyes. He looked at her calmly: "So, you must tell the truth. If you tell the truth, it represents the truth."
"I'm telling the truth."
She clenched her fists.
"Then go on." Zhang Yong looked at her and faced her reproachful gaze without fear.
The two of them remained silent for a long time, and Zhang Yong spoke softly: "The truth has not been told. After being verified, it will be acknowledged. The process is painful, but if it is not told, the truth will never appear."
When Ye Sibei heard this, she lowered her head and turned to look around. She tensed her neck and seemed to be struggling violently.
After a long time, she wiped her tears with her hands, and finally raised her head and looked at Zhang Yong again.
"He said to me, 'Are you still pretending?' Then he forced me to kneel down and said to me, 'Scream, or I'll kill you.'"
"and after?"
Ye Sibei was silent for a long time after hearing these words. Finally, she said with a bit of despair and stubbornness in her calmness: "I called."
The recording took a long time, and Ye Nianwen and Qin Nan were waiting in the hall.
The two sat on the bench and didn't speak at first.
After a while, Ye Nianwen spoke first: "Actually, calling the police is just the beginning. Although my sister is well prepared, you still have to pay more attention later. When taking notes, they will repeatedly ask about the details of the case, which may have a greater impact on the parties involved. What happened a few days ago..."
"I'll watch her later."
Qin Nan knew what Ye Nianwen was worried about, so he replied directly. Ye Nianwen nodded and was about to say something when he heard footsteps coming from the direction of the interrogation room, accompanied by Lin Feng's instructions: "Don't think too much when you go back. Wait for us to notify you. Captain Zhang asked you to keep the information after you reported the case last time, so you don't have to worry too much...
"sister!"
Hearing Lin Feng's voice, Ye Nianwen quickly stood up and walked over. As soon as Ye Sibei came out from the corner, he was already in front of Ye Sibei. He looked him up and down and asked anxiously, "Are you okay?"
Ye Sibei shook her head. Her face was red and her mood was obviously much lower than before she went in. Qin Nan stood behind Ye Nianwen. After confirming that Ye Sibei was not seriously injured, he patted Ye Nianwen on the shoulder and said, "Take care of your sister first."
Qin Nan then looked at Lin Feng and asked, "Where's Captain Zhang?"
"Ah, he's still in there."
Lin Feng turned and pointed to the interrogation room. Qin Nan nodded and walked in.
When Zhang Yong was found, he was still in the interrogation room, staring at Ye Sibei's statement in a daze.
Qin Nan knocked on the door. Zhang Yong looked up and smiled when he saw Qin Nan.
"Why are you here?"
"Ye Sibei," Qin Nan pointed outside, "He's my family member."
Zhang Yong was stunned for a moment, then raised his hand and slapped his forehead, seeming a little annoyed: "I was wondering why she suddenly came back to call the police. If I had known she was your wife, I wouldn't have given you that photo."
"A few days ago, I went to see Ye Sibei's leader Fan Jiancheng," Qin Nan said, reminding Zhang Yong, "He is the owner of the Crown car. He admitted to me that they had sex."
"Voluntary or involuntary?"
Zhang Yong asked directly. Qin Nan hesitated for a moment, and then Zhang Yong understood. He nodded and said, "We will do biological comparison here, don't worry."
Qin Nan nodded and pleaded in a low voice, "Please."
“This is my job.”
After Qin Nan told him the clue, he thanked him in a low voice and walked back.
When they arrived at the hall, Ye Sibei held a cup in his hand and sat on a bench with Ye Nianwen waiting.
When Qin Nan came out, Ye Nianwen stood up and said, "Brother-in-law."
"Um."
Qin Nan nodded, and Ye Nianwen looked at Ye Sibei and said, "Brother-in-law, take my sister back to rest first. I'll take care of some things here before returning to the law firm."
"good."
Qin Nan responded and looked down at Ye Sibei: "Let's go?"
Ye Sibei nodded, and decided to go back together.
As they drove back to the hospital, neither of them said a word. Qin Nan saw that Ye Sibei was in a bad mood. He thought for a moment and hesitantly comforted him, "It's okay, actually. They are all police officers and won't spread anything."
"Are you worried about me?"
Ye Sibei noticed Qin Nan's intention. She turned to look at him. Qin Nan didn't say anything. Ye Sibei turned to look out the window.
"Don't worry about me."
She spoke softly, watching the early morning sunlight filter through the tree branches and fall on the ground in patches. She rolled down the window and reached out her hand.
A slightly cool breeze blew from his fingertips. She tilted her head and the wind gently blew her hair.
"I am very happy."
"It's painful, disgusting and scary though."
"But I finally realized," Ye Sibei laughed, "my future is not a puddle of mud, but an unknown one."
