On June 21, 2010, in the evening, Jiang Yu sat in the duty room of the Jushan Institute in a police uniform, Jiang Yu was a policeman, thirty years old, had been a police officer for ten years, all four police officers and three auxiliary police officers in Jushan, this day it was Jiang Yu with an auxiliary police officer Xiao Chen on duty.

The phone rang suddenly, Jiang Yu picked up the phone, it was the 110 command center called "There is a woman on the road of Nanyan Village Street who randomly smashed passing vehicles with stones" Jiang Yu called Xiao Chen and drove the police car in the station to the scene immediately.

Nanyan Village is the closest village to the city in the jurisdiction of Jushan, Jiang Yu drove about ten minutes, arrived at the scene, there is a woman of about twenty standing on the side of the road, dressed quite neatly, holding an egg-sized stone in each hand, from time to time squinting eyes at the panicked passing vehicles, there is no smashed vehicle parked at the scene.

Jiang Yu initially judged that this was a woman with mental problems, with violent tendencies, but it could still be controlled, the woman saw Jiang Yu in a police uniform, a little stunned, Jiang Yu signaled Xiao Chen to be on the side, he approached the woman and asked, "Where are you from, what is your name, and why are you here?" The woman did not answer, standing where she was, with a struggling expression on her face, Jiang Yu saw it and gently persuaded: "If you encounter something, you can talk to me, I can help you." The woman hesitated, her face changed a little, and then she was silent for a while, and said: "Yes, then you can accompany me, you are alone." The woman pointed to a small road with no street lights next to the road, Jiang Yu looked at it, felt that something was wrong, and said to the woman: "This is not good, or you say where your home is, I will send you home, I can talk to you on the way." The woman was silent for a while, then agreed, telling Jiang Yu that his home was on the side of the city sports center.

Jiang Yu got into the police car, the woman sat in the passenger compartment, Xiao Chen was about to get on the car, the woman suddenly said to Jiang Yu: "You send me alone." Jiang Yu thought that this woman probably did not want her own affairs to be known to more people, so she said to Xiao Chen that you should go back to the office and stand by, Xiao Chen got out of the car, and Jiang Yu drove the woman to the city.

On the way, the woman opened her mouth to talk about her encounter, the original woman is 21 years old, just returned from Guilin, Guangxi, talked about a boyfriend when she was in Guilin, but the time was not long to break up, the woman returned home, her parents rebuked him, so some thoughts could not be opened, stimulated, they ran outside, Jiang Yu advised the woman: "You are still young, what you have experienced is only a small part of life, don't think about it because of a momentary setback." Along the way, the woman's expression slowed down, there was no initial excitement, and opened the window, threw a stone in her hand out of the window, Jiang Yu praised the woman and said: "You are only right, you can't be in a bad mood for a while, you will do something too extreme, harm others and harm yourself." The woman was silent.

Jiang Yu asked the location of the woman's home, the woman said that it was still in front, at this time the police car had driven through the sports center, the front was downtown, the car came and went, Jiang Yu drove the car, there was a ride without an answer and the woman talked, trying to persuade her, suddenly heard the woman say a word, you see what is there, Jiang Yu subconsciously turned his head to see the direction of the woman's finger, the window is the street scene, there is no difference, Jiang Yu suddenly woke up, the ear has heard a little wind, Jiang Yu turned back sharply, the right hand upwards, He grabbed the woman's right hand, which was already close to the back of her head, and in the woman's right hand, Hao Ran also had a sharp egg-sized stone.

Jiang Yu took the stone down, parked the car on the side of the road, and said sharply to the woman: "What is the matter with you, I kindly persuade you, send you home, you still want to harm me" The woman suddenly cried, and her face became vicious: "I don't want to live, I just want to drag a person with me to die now, but you are so good to me, I can't get my hands on it." Jiang Yu froze, it turned out that it was not her own agility, but the key time the woman stopped her hand, Jiang Yu was silent for a moment, or said the woman said: Good to you, is because I don't want you to be such a young girl who takes the wrong road after a little setback, your life is still very long, you can still have a beautiful future." The woman was still very emotional, and there was finally no sound in the half-pay.

Jiang Yu said to the woman, "Where do you live?" I'll send you back." The woman whispered Shuinan Street, the location of Shuinan Street and the current location of the sports center are simply two directions, Jiang Yu drove the woman to the Shuinan police station, in the Shuinan police station Jiang Yu finally knew that the woman's name is Shen Anne, is a college student, after graduating from college, because of the online love to go to Guilin, stayed in Guilin for a month, was cheated by the online love boyfriend, and was abandoned, her parents went to Guilin to take her home and became what it is now, Shen Annie sat in a corner of the hall of the Shuinan, sometimes her face twisted and struggled, Sometimes dazed, Jiang Yu sighed, but in the end did not say anything more, the first stone was thrown by her, the second stone was about to hit Jiang Yu when the woman stopped, was taken down by Jiang Yu and thrown, but the third stone pressed in Shen Anne's heart still existed, hoping that she could really drop this stone one day.

Jiang Yu later visited Shuinanshou once and heard that Shen Annie's family had taken her to other provinces, and there was no more news of her.
