Han Bin contacted Hu Dingrong's mother, and the two arranged to meet at a teahouse.
Hu Dingrong's mother was in her sixties. She was dressed simply, and her hair was a little white. She carried a gray leather bag on her back that was starting to peel.
Han Bin sized her up. "You're Hu Dingrong's mother, right?"
The woman looked a little nervous. "That's me. Are you Officer Han?"
"Yes, let's go to the private room on the second floor to talk."
The woman nodded and followed Han Bin to the second floor.
Bao Xing poured tea for the two and turned on the law enforcement recorder.
Han Bin asked, "Auntie, how should I address you?"
The woman did not expect Han Bin to be so friendly, and she was not used to it. "My surname is Liu, Liu Pandi."
"Auntie Liu, did you go to the hospital to see Hu Dingrong this afternoon?"
"Yes, I wanted to see my son. Although he broke the law, he's still my son." Liu Pandi gripped the gray leather bag tightly. "Officer Han, please help me. Let me see my son."
"You should also know that Hu Dingrong broke the law. When the police were arresting him, he opened fire to resist arrest and even injured a police officer. This is an extremely vile act, and under normal circumstances, family members are not allowed to visit."
"I know. I didn't teach him well and let him go down the wrong path. It's all my fault." Liu Pandi took out a stack of red bills from the gray leather bag. "Officer Han, this is a small token of my appreciation. Please help me and use your connections."
"Auntie, what are you doing? The police won't take your money."
"I'm not giving you money. I'm asking you to use this money to help me arrange things. I want to see my son."
"Auntie, if you don't keep the money, it's a blatant bribe. Not only will you not be able to see Hu Dingrong, but I'll also have to arrest you."
"I … I …" Liu Pandi was at a loss. Bao Xing put the money back into the gray leather bag and put the bag in Liu Pandi's arms. "Auntie, take the money back. If you have any requests, you can tell our Officer Han. He's here to help you solve your problem."
"Thank you, thank you." Liu Pandi gripped her gray handbag tightly and looked at Han Bin with anticipation. "Captain Han, I want to see my son. Please help me."
Han Bin pondered for a moment. "How about this? I'll tell you about Hu Dingrong's situation first. If you still want to see him, I can help you apply, but I can't guarantee that it will be successful."
"Okay, okay, go ahead. I'm listening."
"Hu Dingrong is very resistant to the police. Until now, he still does not want to communicate with the police. His attitude is one of the reasons why his family cannot visit him. If he is willing to cooperate with the police, there are many things that can be discussed, and the police will not be unreasonable."
"I can understand that you want to see Hu Dingrong, and I can help you apply, but I also hope that you can do me a favor."
Liu Pandi hurriedly nodded. "Tell me, I'll agree."
"I hope that after you see Hu Dingrong, you can persuade him to cooperate with the police investigation and explain everything clearly. This is also good for him. If he continues to resist, it will definitely affect the final conviction. If it's serious, he might even be sentenced to death. "
"Death penalty!" Liu Pandi was shocked. She held onto Han Bin's arm. "Officer Han, I only have this one son. I hope that you can help him. You can't sentence him to death."
"Auntie Liu, don't be agitated. I want to help him. But the problem now is that he doesn't communicate with the police at all. I want to help him, but I don't know where to start. " Han Bin changed the topic. "You are his mother, so you should be the person who understands him the best. Do you know why he did this?"
"Sigh …" Liu Pandi sighed. "If I'm not wrong, it should be because of his father."
Liu Pandi's eyes were red as she recalled, "His father was also arrested for robbery and sentenced to ten years. Our family was waiting for him to get out of prison. Especially my son, he has always admired his father and always hoped that his father would come home soon. "
"I waited and waited until the seventh year. I received a notice from the police that my husband had fallen seriously ill in prison and had passed away."
Liu Pandi cried. "After hearing the news, I felt like my world had collapsed. I waited for so many years, and I was about to get out of prison. Who would have thought that he would disappear? "
"I didn't dare to tell the children. I kept it in my heart, afraid that they wouldn't be able to accept it. But the days passed, and it was going to be ten years soon. I knew that I couldn't hide it anymore, so I could only tell the children about it. "
"At that time, the children couldn't accept it, especially Ding Rong. He had always hoped that his father would be released from prison. It had become an obsession of his … From then on, he became more rebellious, and in the end, he followed his father's old path."
"Officer Han, I know that Ding Rong's attitude towards the police was not friendly, and he was angry. I apologize on his behalf. I hope that you can be magnanimous and not stoop to his level."
"Don't worry." Han Bin now understood why Hu Dingrong had resisted arrest with a gun and why he was so resistant to the police. It was most likely because his father had died in prison.
"Auntie Liu, I don't know much about what happened back then, so it's not appropriate for me to comment. But Hu Dingrong's situation is obviously different. He resisted arrest with a gun and was seriously injured, but the police still saved him. If we had any other thoughts, even if it was just to delay for a few minutes, he would probably be dead. "
"I hope that you can explain this to him. If he assists the police in the investigation, he can do a meritorious deed to reduce his sentence. This is also his only way out now. If he blindly resists the police, it will only make his crime heavier. "
"Officer Han, I understand. I will tell him. As long as I can see him, I will definitely persuade him to cooperate with the police, reform himself, and strive to get out as soon as possible to turn over a new leaf."
"Alright, let's stop here today. I will report your request to the leader. If the leader agrees to let you visit, I will contact you again."
"Okay, thank you. Thank you so much." Liu Pandi thanked him profusely.
Han Bin sent her out of the teahouse. Liu Pandi still wanted to pay the bill, but Bao Xing had already paid the bill. This made Liu Pandi feel grateful again.
Then, Han Bin contacted Ding Xifeng and reported Hu Dingrong's situation. At the same time, he suggested to agree to Liu Pandi's visit request and let her persuade Hu Dingrong to assist the police in the investigation.
…
The next morning.
Outside Hu Dingrong's ward.
Liu Pandi had been waiting at the hospital since early in the morning. When she saw Han Bin coming down from the elevator, she immediately went up to him.
"Officer Han, thank you. Thank you so much." Liu Pandi shook Han Bin's hand.
"Auntie, don't mention it. This is what I should do. When you see Hu Dingrong later, I hope you can persuade him to cooperate with our investigation. "
Liu Pandi nodded. "Yes, I will."
Then, Han Bin and the others walked to the door of the ward. The police officers on duty verified their paperwork.
Han Bin pushed the door open and entered the ward. "Hu Dingrong."
The man lying on the bed was wrapped in a blanket. He did not react at all, as if he did not hear anything.
"Hu Dingrong, look who's here."
Hu Dingrong still did not react.
"Lil Rong!" Liu Pandi's voice was hoarse, but it was filled with warmth.
Hu Dingrong's body trembled. He slowly turned his head. When he saw Liu Pandi, he was completely stunned.
"Lil Rong!" Liu Pandi ran over and hugged her son. "Let me see. Are you feeling better? Do the injuries on your body still hurt? "
"Mom, why are you here?" Hu Dingrong finally opened his mouth. His originally expressionless face revealed a complicated expression. His eyes were red and he was trying hard not to cry.
Liu Pandi looked at her son. At that moment, she had a thousand words to say. In the end, she only said, "Mom missed you."
"Mom!" Hu Dingrong burst into tears.
If there was anything in this world that he could not let go of, it would be the woman who gave birth to him.
