Early the next morning, the production team captain and the women's director of the Fuqiang Team took Mr. Xiao and his son to the county police station.
The people at the police station didn't give them a hard time, and they were soon able to see Mrs. Xiao in an interrogation room.
Usually, when a common criminal was brought in, they'd get a beating first thing without a word being said. Once they were beaten into submission, the interrogation would go much faster. Of course, if they were tough, they'd get a second beating. Sooner or later, their mouths would be pried open.
Mrs. Xiao had received relatively preferential treatment since she was brought in yesterday. As she was a middle-aged woman, the beating was skipped. She was just locked up, denied food, and deprived of sleep.
So when the group saw Mrs. Xiao that morning, they all thought she looked utterly haggard.
When Mrs. Xiao saw her husband and son arrive, she began to sob uncontrollably.
