Liu Sanjin looked at me in disbelief, and then said with a slightly softer tone: "Xue Hai, what I, Liu Sanjin, just said was not a joke, you have to think carefully, you stabbed that brat, Sun Zhiqiang, to the point where he has almost no chance of survival. If it were me, I would definitely choose to run away to hide, but you choose to turn yourself in?"

I nodded, and Liu Sanjin suddenly walked in front of me and shook my shoulders with all his might: "Are you crazy? If Sun Zhiqiang can't survive, then you are a murderer, don't you understand? He's going to be shot. Even if he were to turn himself in, he would at least be sentenced to death. You are already 16 years old. Normally, you look like an honest and good-for-nothing, but today you have truly broadened my horizons. Go out and hide, and once I, Liu Sanjin, have returned, I, Liu Sanjin, will definitely be your brother, what do you say? "

What Liu Sanjin said, I did not deny it. He was right, at my age, it is time for me to bear the consequences. Even if I were to turn myself in, I think I would only be able to live the rest of my days in prison.

But I can't just walk away like this. If I do it, I'll have to bear the consequences, won't I? This was what a man should do.

If I were to run away after poking Sun Zhiqiang, then what is the difference between me and that useless me from before?

I ignored Liu Sanjin's words and took back my switchblade from him. Afterwards, I went to the police station to turn myself in without looking back.

When the police officer first saw my clothes covered in blood, he panicked and asked me what had happened. Did I encounter a robber or a fugitive?

I shook my head and said no, calmly telling them that I had killed someone. Afterwards, they all had astonished looks on their faces as if they thought that I was joking with them. After all, how could a still young child commit such a heinous crime?

Then I took out the bloody switchblade and threw it on the ground. Only then did they realize that I wasn't lying. Two policemen quickly brought me a hand from behind to hold me down, but I didn't intend to fight back.

In the interrogation room, the fat policeman angrily asked, "Tell me honestly, why did you kill him, and where did you throw the corpse?"

I calmly replied, "Because he bullied me, hit me three times a day at school, and peed on me. He trampled on my dignity, so I'm going to kill him. As for his corpse, he should be lying in the hospital now. As for whether he died or not, I'm not sure …"

After I told them the general story, the two policemen looked at me in surprise. Perhaps they found it hard to imagine that a murderer would turn himself in, and when they were questioned, they did not regret it and did not cry. Instead, they explained the gist of the matter in a relaxed manner.

After saying that, the fat cop's tone became gentler. Another policewoman beside him said, "Where are your parents? Give them to me. We have to let them know. After all, this is not a small matter."

I looked up at her and said, "I don't know where they went. They left me when I was very young."

After saying that, the policewoman wiped her mouth, while the corner of her mouth twitched. At that moment, the fat policeman said to her, "Little Chen, you can leave for now. Leave this place to me and Little Wang for the time being."

The policewoman hesitated after hearing the fat police officer's words, then she glanced at me and went out. Usually, at times like these, I would understand what was going to happen.

After the policewoman wiped me out, the two of them entertained me for a while. In the end, I didn't say anything about the Uncle Xu and the rest, because this was something that I had stirred up and I didn't want to implicate my own family.

The two cops saw the ordinary one and wanted to do something more serious in the end, but then the policewoman opened the door of the interrogation room and said that the person who went to investigate at our school had returned. The two policemen then stopped and locked me up in the jail for the time being.

They looked at me like I was a rare species. Before I came in, I had more or less heard about some of the things in the jail, such as how I had to pay my respects to my big brother after I entered, or how I had to serve the seniors in the cells for a week, or how I had to pick up soap … Wait a minute.

So when they all gathered around me, I was still a little afraid. After all, there were so many of them, so even if I could fight them, I wouldn't be able to kill so many. Furthermore, I was already beaten half a breath by Sun Zhiqiang before I came in.

Fortunately, they weren't like the rumors outside. Everyone just glanced at me before walking away.

Then, someone about my age walked up to me and asked, "Bro, what crime did you commit to get locked up here?"

I looked at him and indifferently said, "Murder."

My words weren't loud, but it was enough for everyone in the cell to hear. Afterwards, they all looked at me in unison. Some people were teasing me while others were surprised, but I didn't care what they thought of me.

That person looked at me in disbelief. "That can't be! We only have a few thieves locked up here for at most a month or two. You're a felon, so why are you locked up here? Are you joking with me?"

It was only after listening to him that I realized the problem. Although there were people of all ages among them, they didn't seem like the type who would commit all sorts of crimes. Could it be that they were mistaken? That's why they locked me up here?

I shook my head. "I don't know either. They locked me up here when they brought me from the police station. I'm not too sure about the specifics."

After saying that, that person's face became blank, but in the end, that person didn't seem to care about it at all. He probably stayed in the cell for too long and didn't meet anyone of the same age, so other than him and me, there were more than thirty other people in the cell.

I was happy to talk to him about it, too. No one at school had talked to me like that in all these years, and most of them spoke to me when I had something to do.

His name was Li Erniu, and he was nicknamed a fool. His name was very rustic, and he dropped out of school after junior high school because his family was poor, and he had a younger sister who also had to go to school. After graduating from junior high school, he left the chance for her to go to school to work for him, and then came to River City by himself to work.

However, this was his first time here and he didn't have a single acquaintance. He had gone to several construction sites, and judging from his strong build, the boss wanted to see if he had an ID card or an underage. Leaving him here would mean hiring a child.

But he had always had to live alone in a big city, and he soon ran out of two hundred dollars he had brought from home. He then starved for days in the street and asked for food in the street as well, but no one would give him money when they saw how big he was.

It was only later that he had the idea of stealing something, but the good news did not last long. When he got off the bus after getting off, he was caught by the police just in time to get beaten up by them. Furthermore, he stole the money bag of the anti-police officer, so he was locked up and did not know when he would be released.

Soon we were talking and talking until it was time for dinner. Since the prison was different from the prison, we could only eat in the prison. The prison's discipline would place everyone's food together in a certain amount and send them to the prison.

Normally, everyone's standard was a steamed bun, a bowl of porridge, and the kind that could be easily seen.

While the fool and I were still talking when the overseer let in the food, the rest of us immediately started to snatch it up. Since the food in the cell was quantitative, we didn't have to worry about not having anything to eat.

But when the fool saw the food coming, he lunged like a madman and left me alone.

Before I could react, my idiot was kicked to the ground!
