Answer: (Xiang Lian shrugged casually.) Then I’ll just talk about whatever comes to my mind.

I come from an ordinary, even bad family. I have a mother who has been bedridden for many years, and a father who chose to commit suicide after owing a huge gambling debt.

I feel annoyed when I mention him because all he left to this family was dark and negative energy.

I have witnessed many times since I was a child that my father would beat my mother over a disagreement. One night eight years ago, I came home from school and found that my mother was paralyzed for no apparent reason.

To this day, I think he was responsible for my mother's condition. He must have been ruthless! Because my mother kept trying to persuade him to stop gambling and would hide all the money in the house!

Since that day, my childhood has been completely overshadowed.

When creditors came to collect debts, I would listen to them banging on the door while curling up in fear beside my mother, even though she could no longer move.

I would often stay in the school cafeteria until the latest, waiting until most of the students had left, and then look for anyone who had left any food so that I could save money on a meal.

My mother once told me that she hid all the money she had saved over the years under my bed, telling me that no matter what happened in the future, I must finish my studies, because only in this way could I change my destiny.

However, I gritted my teeth and persevered for so many years, living a miserable life with hunger every day, but in the end, fate played a trick on me again!

Q: What do you mean?

Answer: Of course it’s about employment! (Xiang Lian is very excited)

I was clearly a top student in the education field, but after graduation no public institution was willing to accept me!

They said that there were no suitable positions available, but how could I not know the truth? It must be because my father, a gambler, had left many bad records in the Union Police Force, that the public service academy felt that it was not appropriate to give me such an important position!

That damn guy! He's already dead, but he's still affecting my life!

(Seeing this, Miss Junsha asked the police officers to calm her down)

Q: How did you get through this difficult time?

Answer: I was forced to choose a private kindergarten, lower my salary requirements, and just hope to get income as soon as possible.

I was penniless at the time, and the money my mother left behind had long been spent during my school years. Moreover, I had to spend a considerable portion of it over the years to buy medicine to keep her alive.

I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but before my father committed suicide, I couldn't even get social security benefits for my mother's paralysis. He used all the valuables in the house as gambling money. It was not until he jumped off a building five years ago that I could gradually afford to eat well.

Later, I successfully got a job in this kindergarten. Although the working environment was very bad, at least I had a stable income, and I thought that my life would get better and better in the future.

But I didn’t know that the group of creditors my father had offended during his lifetime had been secretly observing my development over the years.

Seeing that I had a job, they came to my house every other day to threaten me. I was extremely scared and uneasy, so I had no choice but to compromise with them. After all, my damn father had signed a document with them, saying that I would repay his debts in the future.

(Xiang Lian said this and suddenly looked at Lu Yi with a smile on her face.)

Mr. Detective, can I call you that? That's what the police officers called you when I heard you talking to them earlier.

Can you tell me that I am sitting here and taking responsibility for my actions, but looking back at my short but wonderful life, who is responsible for me?

(Lu Yi was silent for a moment)

Q: Did you try to call the police? I mean, at the very beginning of every injustice.

A: Of course! Need I say more?

But what was the point of calling the police? In the early days of domestic violence, the police would mediate by making a big deal out of a small matter, and my mother didn’t want to cause trouble, so she thought that one day she would be able to make my father realize his mistake.

But what was her fate?

What is the consequence of trusting the police?

Let’s talk about what happened later. I know you think it was wrong for me to kill the principal, but have you ever thought about what would have been the consequence if I had called the police during the initial stage of his harassment of me, when no actual sexual assault had occurred?

You can only help me warn him and educate him! But what about later? After the matter is settled, won’t I still have to face him by myself?

It is foreseeable that I will be excluded everywhere at work, while he will continue to enjoy power and wealth!

Ultimately, I was faced with the choice of either giving in to him and becoming a toy for him to vent his lust, or leaving this school and losing my last guarantee of livelihood.

But no matter what choice I make, judging from the results, isn't it me who gets hurt?

At most, he would lose his reputation and face, but I would lose my chastity or my source of income!

(Xiang Lian became very emotional once again when she said this, and seemed to be on the verge of collapse)

She continued: Detective Lu Yi, you are so smart, you must have a way to answer me, right?

Grandpas and aunts over 70 years old stole "low-value, non-prosecuted" fruits and vegetables at the vegetable market; young boys, who were still young but already in their innocence, lifted up the skirts of female teachers and even pretended to be careless and wiped their chests...

Those injustices that occur in every corner of society; those so-called small things that do not meet the standards for filing a case and sentencing, but actually hurt others.

Is calling the police alone really useful?
