Chase out police brutality

Last year, a criminal suspect in Yunnan province reportedly died while playing duo mao mao, or hide-and-seek.

Now another suspect in Henan province was announced dead after allegedly "drinking plain boiled water" in police custody.

We wonder if local police chiefs can convince themselves that the causes of the mysterious deaths at detention facilities were just. For us common folk, drinking a glass of plain boiled water is, just like playing hide-and-seek, perfectly safe. That is why the official explanation for the death of the Henan suspect has stirred up another round of online ridicule.
