After school at noon, Lu Yichen came to find Luo Qiao and told her that the brigade commander had called and asked her to return to the village.
For safety, Luo Qiao went to the teacher in charge and asked for another day off; she was afraid she wouldn't make it back in time tomorrow.
Lu Yichen planned to accompany Luo Qiao back to the village. Originally, Luo Qiao didn't want to trouble Lu Yichen, but Stone insisted on following them back. They weren't comfortable leaving him behind, so they hastily made their way to the station to catch the midday train back.
Upon arriving, they went straight to the police station from the commune. Luo Qiao gave a statement, and the facts of the case were very clear; Gao Suhua was interrogated again in the afternoon and confessed to the crime without reservation.
