The policewoman only spoke after everyone was seated.

"Comrade Song, I will be questioning Xia Yichu next. During this time, I hope you will remain silent. If you have any questions, please wait until I have finished."

"Can"

Song Wanying had calmed down considerably. The policewoman then turned to Xia Yichu and said, "Comrade Xia Yichu, I hope you will tell the truth when I ask you questions later."

"Okay, go ahead and ask."

Did you see Zhou Shuyue last night?

"Yes, I ate at the school cafeteria after school before going home. It was around 5 or 6 pm, and it was raining. Zhou Shuyue was standing in the rain at my door, and as soon as we met, she asked me where my cousin had gone."

"I told you my daughter must have gone to see her, she must have hidden my daughter. You need to arrest her and rescue my daughter."

Song Wanying stood up excitedly, hoping that the police could arrest Xia Yichu.

"Comrade Song, don't interrupt my questioning. If you keep doing this, I won't let you listen in."

"Okay, I won't say anything. I promise I won't say anything this time. Go ahead and ask."

Song Wanying was afraid they wouldn't let her stay, so she didn't dare speak anymore. Mainly, she didn't know where Xia Yichu lived.

She couldn't find her daughter herself, so she called her older brother this morning, but before she could say anything...

Her older brother simply told her not to contact him about her daughter's affairs and hung up the phone. Now she can only rely on the police and dares not easily offend them.

"Comrade Xia Yichu, please tell me what happened after you met Zhou Shuyue, the more detailed the better."

Xia Yichu nodded in agreement and recounted everything from the moment she met Zhou Shuyue, without holding anything back.

"You mean Zhou Shuyue left your house before seven o'clock?"

"Yes, around 40 or 50 minutes! Xu Shaoyang came and she left, I don't know where she went."

"Impossible, Xia Yichu, you're lying. Officer, my daughter is definitely still at her house."

Song Wanying started speaking again. She had waited for so long, and now Xia Yichu was saying that her daughter had left at six o'clock, which she did not believe.

"Principal, could you please call Xu Shaoyang in for questioning?"

No one paid any attention to Song Wanying. The female police officer wanted to ask Xu Shaoyang if she believed that Xia Yichu was not lying.

"Wait a minute, I'll have someone go and call Director Wang to fetch Xu Shaoyang."

"it is good"

After Director Wang left, the policewoman asked again, "Comrade Xia Yichu, may I ask what Xu Shaoyang wanted to talk to you about last night?"

"Officers, it's fine to tell you, but with so many people here, it might not be very convenient."

"Hehe, I understand."

The female police officer assumed they were dating, and it was normal for the young girl to be shy.

"It must be those two who conspired to hide my daughter. Arrest her right now! If anything happens to my daughter, I'll sue you both too."

"Comrade Song, please don't make trouble unreasonably. We are doing everything in accordance with the rules and are not protecting anyone."

The male police officer angrily said that he had only been with the police force for a short time and could not stand others slandering their work.

"Alright, Xiao Li, Comrade Song, we understand how you feel about your daughter going missing."

However, please understand us. We value evidence in our investigations, not just what you think it is.

Besides, your daughter is already an adult. Maybe she's just in a bad mood and looking for a place to hide.

Given Zhou Shuyue's past suicide attempt, the police station took her not returning home that night quite seriously.

"Principal, the teacher said that Xu Shaoyang didn't stay in the dormitory last night and hasn't come to school today," Director Wang said as he walked in. The teacher didn't know if Xu Shaoyang was coming to school because he was often late.

"Wait a minute, I'll go make a call and ask."

Principal Li went to his office to make a phone call and returned a while later.

"Xu Shaoyang will come to the school; he's probably still on his way."

Commander Xu told him that Xu Shaoyang had left early and he didn't know why Xu Shaoyang hadn't arrived at school yet. He also said that if Xu Shaoyang didn't come later, he should call him again.

"Principal, Xu Shaoyang has arrived."

Director Wang saw Xu Shaoyang slowly walking over from the window, and Song Wanying immediately went out. The two policemen and the principal also went out, only Xia Yichu did not go out.

"Xu Shaoyang, why are you only coming to school now? The teacher says you're late every day. Do you even want to study anymore? You…"

"No, Principal, why don't you just expel me?"

The principal, who was used to lecturing people, forgot that this particular student had come to him on the first day of school and asked if he could be expelled.

"Hurry up and go to the office, two police officers have something to ask you."

Xu Shaoyang had just seen the police and Song Wanying, and wondered if they were looking for him to ask about Zhou Shuyue.

Song Wanying remained silent; the police had just warned her not to speak.

"Principal, no need, I'll ask here."

"it is good"

"Hurry up and ask why, I have to go to class!"

Xu Shaoyang leaned casually against a pillar, picking at his ear. The principal wanted to say something to him, but then, remembering Xu's personality, he looked away, deciding to avoid the sight.

"Xu Shaoyang, you weren't at school yesterday. Did you go home or somewhere else?" the female police officer asked.

"I went to my older sister's place after school, and then I went to see Yichu. Is there a problem?"

"No problem. Did anything happen when you went to see Xia Tongyichu?"

"Oh, you mean Zhou Shuyue? She's been pestering Yichu, insisting on knowing where Xingcheng is. It's raining, it's fine if she gets wet, but I can't let Yichu get wet, it would break my heart."

So I said I'd call the Zhou family and have them take her back, but she ran away on her own.

"Cough cough cough..."

The principal reminded Xu Shaoyang not to speak carelessly, lest he tarnish the school's reputation.

"Hey old man Li, if you're sick, go see a doctor. Why are you coughing in front of me?"

"Xu Shaoyang, you have no manners! I'll tell your dad if you're not careful."

"How old are you? You're still acting like a primary school student tattling. Aren't you ashamed?"

"You... Xu Shaoyang was just looking for you at school, but you didn't come. I called your dad, and he said to call home after you get to school, and then come to my office to make the call. Director Wang, please keep an eye on things, I have to go now."

"Old Li, you have no martial ethics."

The principal told the police a few words and left triumphantly.

"Xu Shaoyang, don't leave yet, I still have some questions for you. Do you know what time Zhou Shuyue left Xia Yichu's door? And what time did you leave Xia Yichu's house?"

"I don't know about Zhou Shuyue. It should be around 6 o'clock. I left at 7:35."

"Xu Shaoyang, how did you know the exact time you left so clearly?"

"Because when Yichu told me to go home, I glanced at my watch. Do you have any other questions?"

Xu Shaoyang was starting to get impatient; his good mood from the morning was quickly fading.

"When you left Xia Yichu's house, did you see Zhou Shuyue near her house?"

"No, aren't you guys annoying? Why do you keep asking about Zhou Shuyue? It's never going to end."

"Xu Shaoyang, Zhou Shuyue didn't come home all night. We'll ask anyone who saw her last night."

No other meaning intended. Thank you for your cooperation. You can go now.

"It's none of my business if she doesn't see me. She's not a three-year-old."

Xu Shaoyang was halfway through his sentence when he saw Xia Yichu come out of the office.

"Yichu, what are you doing here? Did they do anything to you?"

"I'm fine, officer. Can I go back to class now?"

Xia Yichu waited until they finished questioning Xu Shaoyang before coming out, to avoid Song Wanying accusing them of colluding.

"Can"
