<strong>Chapter 1011: Chapter 1003: Investigation</strong>


    The father stopped talking.


    “Then, after you leave, please tell Xiangrong not to worry about me anymore. Both of you shouldn’t get involved in my matters, lest you get implicated. Actually, there’s nothing much for me here. After all, I have time on my hands, so I’ll just wait it out with them,” Xiao Yifei said softly to the father.


    “Well, I’m leaving now. Take care of yourself in here. Sometimes, it’s better to give in,” the father said.


    “Stop dawdling and hurry up,” the police at the door waited for a few minutes and hadn’t seen the fathere out, so he impatiently went back in to urge the father. Then the father left.


    As the father walked out of the police department’s entrance, he still found it strange. What kind of people do such things?


    They can arrest him for no reason, and equally release him without cause. This must be severe abuse of power. If his daughter achieves sess in the future, the father definitely wants to investigate this matter thoroughly.


    Hu Jingtang was anxiously waiting for a call from Xiao Yifei every day, but he felt embarrassed to call Xiao Yifei himself. Doing so might make Xiao Yifei think he’s pestering him. After reaching out several times, Hu Jingtang decided to wait for Xiao Yifei to call him instead.


    But after almost three days, still no phone call; whether something good or bad happened, a call should be made to inform them. Guessing back and forth like this is pointless.


    Then Hu Jingtang dialed Xiao Yifei, but his phone was turned off. Xiao Yifei’s phone had been off since Xiao Yifei entered the police department.


    Now it was making Hu Jingtang even more anxious. He was far away in his hometown, clueless about what had happened with Lin Mu. He hoped that Xiao Yifei’s phone only ran out of battery temporarily and nothing bad had urred. But the feeling of unease kept growing, signaling something wrong for sure.


    Still, all he could do was worry. Even if he wanted to go to Beijing to find Xiao Yifei, he wouldn’t know where to look, as Xiao Yifei never told him anything about his situation in Beijing. He didn’t even know where his grandson Liu Rui was.


    Sigh, getting older is troublesome; even going out isn’t smooth.


    Every five minutes he would make a call, but Xiao Yifei’s phone remained off. So what exactly had happened to Xiao Yifei?


    That morning, another person entered the interrogation room. He didn’t appear to be police and didn’t ask the usual questions; instead, he chatted with Xiao Yifei and even helped him check his physical health.


    Xiao Yifei was puzzled by this, so he asked the person, “What are you doing? Why do you ask such strange questions?”


    But the person only stuck to his prepared topics, unwilling to say anything extra. Xiao Yifei asked multiple times, and each time the person simply smiled at him. That smile made Xiao Yifei feel uneasy, as if he was being looked at like a mental patient. He wondered what kind of trick the police department had up its sleeve this time.


    After the examination ended, the person left. The entire morning after that, nothing else happened, so Xiao Yifeiy on the single bed with eyes closed, resting.


    What he didn’t anticipate was that this simple examination had decided his fate, though he wasn’t aware of it yet. He simply felt strange about their actions.


    The director’s office.


    “Alright, Director, I’ve finished the examination. Now I’ll return to the hospital to prepare a certificate. Are you sure this person really has mental issues? He seemed quite normal to me,” the person asked.


    “You are a doctor, but asionally diagnostic errors ur. This person’s condition is peculiar; when he’s normal, he appears indistinguishable from any ordinary person — perfectly normal intelligence and emotional intelligence. But sometimes, who knows what triggers him, he doesn’t act like a normal person at all,” the director said.


    “I see. He looked pretty normal to me just now, which made me doubt my medical skills,” the person said.


    “Yes, if he were normal, we wouldn’t be detaining him here. If a person like him is released, he could easily harm others. Therefore, we’ve had to temporarily hold him here,” the director said.


    The doctor bade farewell to the director, feeling a bit perplexed by the director’s words, but there was nothing he could do. After all, he was just an ordinary doctor, and when the police sought his help, he couldn’t refuse. Plus, the police wouldn’t do anything extreme.


    The doctor returned to the hospital, prepared a mental illness certificate for Xiao Yifei, and delivered it back. Despite still feeling strange about it, he didn’t think deeply. How could the police wrong someone? Maybe it was just because his medical skills were not up to scratch! This was what he thought as he continued with his work.


    After the director got the certificate, he handed over Xiao Yifei’s case to the local prosecution. Xiao Yifei had not expected the police department would pull such a move. However, given their years of dealing with legal matters, it was unsurprising.


    Xiao Yifei learned he was being prosecuted that afternoon. The grounds were absurd: iming he was mentally ill and severely disrupted the police department’s investigation process, deliberately causing social disorder, etc.


    Looking at the paper delivered to him, Xiao Yifei couldn’t help butugh. The world was indeed frightening — some people could mix ck and white without regard for justice and legal constraints.


    And the ones doing this were the trusted police officers. With such darkness within the police department, whom else could people trust?


    Even a minor incident between hospital doctors and patients could be exponentially amplified by the media or the patients. That’s why various medical disturbance events frequently appear in newspapers. In fact, based on Xiao Yifei’s experiences, many such matters are genuinely trivial; a doctor’s slightly poor attitude makes patients feel targeted deliberately.


    From this perspective, doctors are also a vulnerable group. Even if they suffer grievances, there’s nowhere to seek justice, and almost everyone unreasonably sides with the patient.


    However, the situation with the police is different.


    The police wield authority, and people dare not cause trouble easily. Offending a police officer mightnd someone in prison for a while.


    This isn’t to say all police are bad. Many police friends of Xiao Yifei are very dedicated. It’s just every profession has such individuals.


    So, indeed, the reputation isn’t great for the police, at least for Xiao Yifei, as they’ve acted excessively. Now he finds it hard to speak.


    Their power is so great that they can cover the sky, capable of issuing false certificates, ndering him as mentally ill. Is he really going to endure it this time? In theory, issuing such a certificate is difficult, normally requiring several examinations. How did they manage it?
