Chapter 10, A Tail.

I am quite anxious. Captain Han, my friend, and Teacher Liang are all in danger. Do you think I would joke with you?

This matter has left me somewhat despondent

This cannot simply be described with the words "unlucky"

I also do not know how it happened, but inexplicably, I struck the concrete floor with a punch, and with a loud "bang," the entire room shook.

During this time, the doctor came twice, with two different groups of people. One group was there to treat me, generally inquiring about my health condition, and then they replaced my glucose bottle. Additionally, a nurse brought me some congee that is good for the stomach. However, for some reason, I always felt that both the doctors and the nurses had a strange attitude towards me, as if they regarded me as a monster.

After he left, I was still handcuffed, and then someone was arranged to keep an eye on me

I was seething with anger, shot him a glare, and said it was not the case

I silently retracted my fist, cast a cold glance at them, then retreated to the corner, hugging my knees, burying my head down, my mind in a state of chaos

Captain Han said what you just mentioned, about the Ranger Alliance, about the Night Walkers... As an adult, don't you feel embarrassed to say such nonsensical things? Have you read too many Wesley novels, and has your brain gotten muddled as a result?

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah ... ...

Back in the temporary holding room, I curled up in the corner, looking at the room full of scum, feeling melancholic and utterly dejected

How should I put it, I feel as if I am like a laboratory mouse

I have not concealed anything; at this point, there is no reason to hide anything. I will now recount the events of the past few days, detailing everything that has transpired.

To be honest, that was one of the darkest moments of my life

When I lifted my head and my gaze fell upon the group of people in front of me, they were all trembling, like a flock of sheep that had seen a ferocious tiger escape from its cage. The ones who had just participated in beating me were even sweating profusely. Then, the guy called Qingpi Ge hesitated for a few seconds and suddenly knelt down with a thud, banging his head against the ground, while shouting: "Big brother, I am sorry, I failed to recognize the great mountain, I am sorry..."

Upon hearing this, Qingpi Ge immediately exploded with anger, exclaiming "Cao Ni Ma, how dare you be so disrespectful! You come in here and act tough, do you? ... Do you believe I can take you down ...

The temporary holding room is narrow and damp, filled with the sounds of grinding teeth, flatulence, and low conversations. I had just returned when a thug who had come in for fighting began to engage actively with his companions. Soon after, he started questioning the person next to him, and after going around the group, he ended up at my side

That thug known as Qingpi Ge kicked me, who was squatting in the corner, and said, "Hey, what are you doing here?"

I had already been hungry for several days, and after sustaining an injury, my body was extremely weak. I had only been in the hospital for a day to recuperate when this group of people rushed at me. After a brief struggle, I was brought down. Subsequently, they began to kick me. None of them were good individuals; they were experienced in violence, aiming their kicks at the fleshy parts of my body to inflict pain without leaving too many visible marks.

I can sense that within the prison, the offenses committed vary in severity, and the most contemptible of them is likely what the young ones refer to.

I noticed that he did not believe my words, and I became somewhat agitated, saying: "What I say is true, I can swear to heaven."

I clearly spoke the truth, yet no one believed me. Coupled with my concerns for my health, I was filled with anger, leaving me no mood to engage with others. I glanced at that person and then chose to ignore them.

Captain Han suddenly slammed the table and shouted, "What, do you still want to threaten me? Let me tell you, Hou Mo, you are now a criminal suspect—do you know what a suspect is? I’ll tell you, the stories you’ve concocted are full of holes, do you understand? Those people thought you were dead, buried you, so you escaped—if the group that kidnapped Teacher Liang were truly as vicious as you say, do you think you could have come out alive?"

What kind of immense force must be exerted to produce such an effect

He stared at me intently and then said: "We will verify your identity thoroughly. As for what you just said, we will also investigate it. However, I hope you understand that law enforcement relies on evidence when handling cases. Your current behavior of speaking recklessly and fabricating stories is very irresponsible, do you understand?"

What exactly is different

Upon hearing his words, everyone who had been seated suddenly stood up, their gazes unfriendly

With a wave of his hand, several people rushed forward, crowding in and attacking with punches and kicks

At this moment, I began to feel that I was somewhat different from before

I, I can't believe it, when did I suddenly grow a tail?

The door opened, and an elderly police officer with graying temples walked in. He squinted his eyes as he scrutinized me, making me feel extremely uneasy. After a considerable amount of time, he finally spoke: "So, how are you feeling? Any better?"

I looked at my fist, covered in cement dust and blood, and found it hard to believe that the blow just delivered was struck by me

Several people nearby also knelt down and kowtowed, trembling like quails

I touched an object that was soft yet firm, and firm yet soft.

Although I am currently receiving intravenous saline to replenish my energy, I am still so thirsty that my throat feels parched, and I long for a sip of water to soothe my throat. Captain Han nodded, signaling the auxiliary police officer to pour me some water.

However, he soon interrupted my narration, furrowing his brow and saying: "Comrade Hou Mo, I hope you can understand your situation, be pragmatic, and cooperate with our public security organs in handling the case. Do not speak recklessly or make unfounded statements, do you understand?"

However, during my conversation with them, I finally confirmed that it has been five days since Xiao Zhong Huang and I visited Teacher Liang's home

I forced a smile and asked how I should express myself for you to believe me

The person beside also recoiled as if they had seen a ghost

I tried to convince the police officer taking the notes of the truthfulness of my words, and I made every effort to appear sincere. However, in the end, they looked at me as if I were a lunatic or a fool.

I gave a thorough beating, my anger had reached a critical point, feeling as if it was about to overflow from my chest, I couldn't help but let out a loud roar

A group of people all grinned, and Qingpi Ge spat on the ground in front of me, saying with a look of disdain: "Wronged? I am the one who is wronged, having been locked up here, and you still pretend? Kid, don't sway around, tell everyone, are you here because of Yao San Jiu or not?"

I gave him a scolding, and I was somewhat agitated, loudly explaining to him. As a result, Captain Han paid no attention, but instead pointed at me fiercely and said, "Just wait, I will eventually speak up."

The more I thought about it, the more I felt something was amiss. Various images flashed before my eyes, and suddenly, I instinctively moved my hand towards my hip, slowly feeling my way there.

I do not want this reputation to tarnish myself, and I spoke up, saying: "I was wrongfully accused and brought in."

Then my whole body became rigid, not moving at all, like a sun-dried frog

Fortunately, having had the experience from the last time, I was much calmer and quickly shouted, "Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, I am not a bad person"

A tail

Two other doctors arrived, also wearing white coats, and they chatted with me in a friendly manner and with gentle words. At first, I thought they were just making small talk with me, but later I realized—these two are likely psychiatrists, confirming whether I actually have a mental illness.

Pressing down on me was a young auxiliary police officer, whose face bore several acne scars. Upon hearing my words and seeing my appearance, he couldn't help but laugh, quickly releasing his grip on my chest and climbing off me. He then shouted towards the outside, "Team Leader Han, the person is awake"

When I raised my hand, I discovered that there was blood all over the knuckles of my right hand. What astonished both me and those around me was that my earlier punch had actually left a deep impression on the solid, hard concrete floor, and nearby, the concrete had developed spiderweb-like cracks radiating over an area of nearly more than one meter.

I can sense that this attitude is not a result of my identity as a suspect with my hands cuffed and under surveillance

Ha, ha, ha ... ...

I stayed in the hospital for a day, my health has improved considerably, and then I was taken to a room in the station to wait.

I strive to recall the state of that punch just now, and I am reminded of the various bizarre incidents I encountered earlier

Captain Han waved his hand, signaling the recorder beside him to stop writing

I licked my lips and asked if I could have some saliva to drink

After taking a sip of water, I spoke up: "Hello, my name is Hou Mo, and I am an employee in the sales department of Pengcheng Xianghui Technology Co., Ltd. I was kidnapped in the home of Teacher Liang Shikuan, and I lost my ID card and wallet. I managed to escape with great difficulty..."

Do not misunderstand, this thing grows at the back of the buttocks, to be precise, it should be located along the extension of the coccyx.

This room does not contain only me; there are thieves, swindlers, and those who engage in fights, as well as drug users, all mixed together. I was called out once to give a statement, and my account did not change; I clearly explained the sequence of events.

I have been a particularly honest and sensible child since I was young. While other children during their adolescence would get into fights, cause trouble, drink, or gamble, I have never done any of that. Apart from obtaining my identity card, I have never entered a public security agency. I never expected that in just under a month, I would actually find myself involved with them twice.

Upon hearing my cooperation, Captain Han signaled for me to stop and instructed the auxiliary police to bring a notebook to begin taking my statement

I did not expect that my somewhat cold gaze would provoke Qingpi Ge. He thought I was challenging his authority, and immediately became energized. He made a gesture, and along with a companion of his, plus the two men who had just been chatting animatedly, they surrounded me. One young man who had come in for theft grinned at me and said, "Qingpi Ge, this guy doesn't dare to answer you; he must be feeling guilty... perhaps he's just a little coward..."

In the past, no matter how difficult or exhausting it was, I never imagined that I would end up in such a place
