No one listened to her. They arrested her right away and dragged her into the police car.
The bodyguards Sheng Yize had left behind for her rushed out to help, but were all stopped by the police. An Xiaxia was then taken to the police station in utter bewilderment.
Blazing incandescent light was directed into her eyes. An Xiaxia's face was pale as she said repeatedly in English, "I didn't kill anyone. He was my brother. I had no reason to kill him."
The police officers interrogating her exchanged looks, and as if on purpose, they said something in that language again, which An Xiaxia now realized was Arabic.
She didn't know a single word of Arabic and had no way of communicating with them.
Seeing that she was insisting on her innocence, the head of the interrogators gestured with his hand, and two stalwart police officers approached An Xiaxia with batons.
An Xiaxia tried to shield her belly, but with her hands cuffed, she couldn't move at all.
