In his cell, Wang Daniu was racking his brain for ways to clear his name when suddenly, the sound of the cell door opening with a clang rang out.
A police officer walked in, "Wang Daniu, pack your things, come with me!"
Wang Daniu's heart lurched, the situation feeling eerily like a death row inmate's final moment.
"Officer, even if I did commit a rape, that's not a capital offense! Moreover, I haven't been tried yet, you can't just shoot me in confusion."
The police officer glared at him, "What nonsense are you spouting? Du Xiaojuan has recanted, claiming you two were playing boyfriend and girlfriend, and after a quarrel, she falsely accused you."
"Now, the truth is clear, you've been wronged."
"Is that so? Are you letting me go?" The surprise came so suddenly that Wang Daniu could hardly believe it.
The officer nodded, "What are you dawdling for? Hurry up and go."
Wang Daniu felt like he was dreaming, only then beginning to feel a sense of liberation.
