Xie, on the other hand, has to check three or four times if Kevin is sure it's okay to tell the whole truth exactly as it happened - it's not that he thinks Kevin did anything he shouldn't have, he's just really not used to "tell the truth to the cops" being the appropriate strategy, he's used to having a story.
The interviewer he's speaking to has some trouble with the injuries as well, until Xie finally snaps and asks if he'd prefer Xie was croaking out his whole story in agony and if not then to stop fucking asking. He does.
He has to explain how he ended up there on his own about seven different ways, and that's where he has trouble with the truth - he skirts around admitting he was left on his own in the house, and just talks about having worked out a way to slip past their precautions. He expects they might still get in some trouble, but he does his best. It should have been secure, in fairness, they didn't know the wards would allow him to pass as long as Kevin already had.
He does talk about how he knew Kevin could track him, that he didn't expect Yifu to show up himself and that he was just hoping to be able to lead them to him, frames the whole thing about a cooperative prisoner being a little overzealous in his support of their goals, just in case it helps him later on.
He is interrupted, though, most of the way through the interview, by someone arriving to explain that his lawyer had contacted the station and asked the interview to be suspended until he could arrive.

Xie didn't know he had a lawyer.
