Never in their wildest dreams did the people in the room imagine that a simple dispute would develop into such a tragic state.
Seeing Tan Xiu and Su Shangwen paralyzed in a pool of blood at the same time, it was unknown whether they were dead or alive, the people in the house panicked. Screams, cries, and cries for help came one after another. No one had the mind to care about who was right and who was wrong.
In just a few minutes, the police arrived at the scene.
It was strange to say that almost as soon as the police arrived at the scene, Su Shangwen, who was unconscious just now, slowly woke up, followed by Tan Xiu's muffled groan.
Seeing the house full of police officers, Su Shangwen was shocked. He glanced at Tan Xiu lying on the ground and immediately remembered the scene where Tan Xiu hit him before he fainted. Su Shangwen's eyes instantly turned red.
"Comrade police, three thousand yuan was stolen from my house. I suspect that it was stolen by this fool. Please arrest him." Su Shangwen didn't care about the pain in his fingers. He pointed at Tan Xiu's nose and said while gnashing his teeth.
"We just received a report saying that there was a murder case here. Who called the police?" A silver bell-like voice sounded in the house. This time, it was a valiant policewoman who led the team.
The policewoman ignored Su Shangwen's words and glanced at the people in the house. Finally, her eyes fell on Zhang Meiyun and asked in a deep voice.
Under the policewoman's sharp eyes, Zhang Meiyun lowered her head guiltily and said, "Comrade police, I called the police just now. I saw my husband bleeding and his nose was no longer breathing. I thought my husband was dead. I panicked and said the wrong thing when I called the police."
Hearing Zhang Meiyun's explanation, the look on Cheng Xuemei's face softened a lot.
"Comrade police, you must arrest this person. He not only stole three thousand yuan from us, but he also hit me with brute force just now. He broke my hand." Just as Cheng Xuemei bent down to examine Tan Xiu and Su Shangwen's injuries, Su Shangwen shouted again.
Cheng Xuemei glared at Su Shangwen and didn't say anything. She continued to do what she was doing and ordered the other policemen to seal off the scene.
"Police comrade, I'm good friends with Captain Wang of the Public Security Brigade. I've even had a drink with Commissioner Deng and sponsored your Municipal Bureau many times." Seeing that Cheng Xuemei was ignoring him, Su Shangwen felt that he had lost face, so he quickly reminded her.
"Why don't you say that your family owns the Municipal Public Security Bureau and I have to arrest whoever you want me to arrest?" Cheng Xuemei originally hated Su Shangwen's arrogant attitude. After hearing Su Shangwen's words, she raised her head and sneered coldly.
Su Shangwen obviously didn't expect that after he revealed his relationship with the Municipal Public Security Bureau, the policewoman in front of him not only didn't buy it, but also hated him even more. He couldn't help but be speechless for a while.
Without Su Shangwen's disturbance, Cheng Xuemei quickly checked the injuries on Su Shangwen and Tan Xiu's bodies.
Cheng Xuemei found that Su Shangwen's arm was dislocated, and the rest of his body was almost unharmed. On the contrary, Tan Xiu's waist and abdomen were injured in many places, and his whole body was in a state of exhaustion.
What puzzled Cheng Xuemei was the big pool of blood on the ground.
What Cheng Xuemei could confirm was that although the injuries on Tan Xiu's body looked terrible, in fact, it was not serious. However, the people at the scene said that all the blood on the ground was vomited by Tan Xiu, which made her wonder if there was something wrong with her eyes.
"Do you feel any discomfort?" Cheng Xuemei took a look at the pale face of Tan Xiu and asked with concern.
"Sis, I'm fine. I don't want to go to the hospital. I don't want my mom to worry." Tan Xiu shook his head and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito.
Cheng Xuemei stared at Tan Xiu for a moment, then glanced at the anxious Su Lingyun next to her and fell into silence for a while.
"Captain Cheng, do we need to hand over the case to Captain Wang?" After confirming that there was no murder at the scene, and it was not even a serious injury accident, but just an ordinary public security case, the few criminal police officers who came with Cheng Xuemei had the thought of leaving.
"Chief Deng just said at the mobilization meeting yesterday that we need to save the police force. Do we need to dispatch the police force twice for such a small matter?" Cheng Xuemei glared at the police officer who spoke and said unhappily.
After speaking, Cheng Xuemei felt relaxed.
The other few police officers who came with Cheng Xuemei were dumbfounded. They almost thought that there was something wrong with their ears. According to their understanding, Cheng Xuemei was not a nosy person. In the past, when she encountered such public security cases, she would hide as far as possible, let alone take the initiative to get involved.
However, when they thought of the conversation between Cheng Xuemei and Su Shangwen after arriving at the scene, they seemed to vaguely understand what was going on.
In the municipal bureau, Cheng Xuemei abhorred evil and especially disliked the style of Wang Hao, the captain of the public security team. However, Su Shangwen just had to mention that he and Wang Hao were close friends, which was undoubtedly digging his own grave.
With Cheng Xuemei's order, several criminal police officers quickly got busy.
Watching the police search the house, Su Janin and Su Xiangfei's faces became pale, and their bodies were also trembling. They really wanted the police to stop investigating the 3,000 yuan, but they did not have the courage to speak at this moment.
"Yaning, Xiangfei, the police just said that dad was just dislocated. You don't have to worry." Seeing his children's abnormal expressions, Su Shangwen thought that the two children were frightened by the scene of him fainting on the ground just now, so he smiled and comforted them.
Hearing their father's comfort, Su Janin and Su Xiangfei were about to cry, but the police officers were beside them, so they did not dare to say anything.
Soon, the police officers found 3,000 yuan in the house.
The money was found on top of the closet in the bedroom. While the group of police officers found 3,000 yuan in cash, they also found a clear palm print on top of the closet.
The top of the closet had not been cleaned for a long time, so a thin layer of dust had accumulated. The person who hid the money accidentally left a mark on it.
Cheng Xuemei first stared at the palm print for a while, then swept her eyes across the people in the house, and finally locked on Su Xiangfei.
"Classmate Su Xiangfei, can you explain to me what's going on with this palm print?" Staring at Su Xiangfei for a moment, Cheng Xuemei suddenly asked in a stern voice.
"It's not my fault, it was my sister who told me to hide the money. She said that she hated Tan Xiu, and Tan Xiu is an idiot with a bad record at school. Even if we wronged him, he would not be able to defend himself." Su Xiangfei already had a guilty conscience. Hearing Cheng Xuemei's stern voice, his tense nerves instantly collapsed, and he hurriedly shirked the responsibility.
"I … I … I just wanted to play a prank on Tan Xiu, I didn't want to steal the money." Seeing that everyone's eyes in the house were focused on her, Sujanin panicked and explained.
Hearing the words of Su Xiangfei and Sujanin, even if Cheng Xuemei did not speak, the people in the house understood what was going on.
"After all this time, it turned out to be a thief crying thief. This family is really outrageous."
"You say, this family does not lack the three thousand yuan, why do they have to wrongly accuse the orphan and the widow?"
"It's the mother and son's bad luck to have such relatives. If it were me, I would have cut ties with such relatives long ago. Why would I continue to associate with them and be insulted for no reason!"
"…"
Today was Su Shangwen's fortieth birthday banquet. Although most of the guests left after the luncheon, there were still many people who stayed to continue the banquet.
When Tang Xiu's matter became big, what was originally only known by a dozen people in the bedroom, was instantly known by all the guests.
After all, it was human nature to watch the drama, not to mention that this matter was closely related to the protagonist of today's wedding banquet. The arrival of the police not only attracted all the guests, but also the neighbors all rushed over to join in the fun.
Everyone originally thought that it was really Tan Xiu who stole the three thousand yuan because he was poor. The moment the truth was revealed, they realized how outrageous the matter was. While they sympathized with Su Lingyun and her son, they also looked at Su Shangwen's family with disgust and contempt.
Obviously, Su Shangwen and Zhang Meiyun did not expect the truth of the matter to be like this, and they could not help but be stunned for a moment.
Hearing the discussions and accusations of the people around them, feeling their mocking and disdainful eyes, Su Shangwen's family only felt a burning pain on their faces.
"Comrade police, hiding your own family's money shouldn't be considered stealing, right? I'm sorry to have made you come here for nothing today. " After a long time, Su Shangwen finally calmed down a little. He walked in front of Cheng Xuemei with a smile and softly begged.
"Hiding your own family's money is indeed not a crime. However, according to our country's criminal law, those who use violence or other means to publicly insult others or fabricate facts to slander others, if the circumstances are serious, will be sentenced to not more than three years of imprisonment, criminal detention, public surveillance, or deprivation of political rights. Not only did you confuse black and white and fabricate facts, you have already committed the crime of slander. "
"In addition, according to the relevant provisions of our country's criminal law, those who intentionally hurt others will be sentenced to not more than three years of imprisonment, criminal detention, or public surveillance. Those who cause serious injury will be sentenced to not less than three years and not more than ten years of imprisonment. Because of your beating, Tan Xiu suffered many injuries, and even caused him to vomit blood and faint, you will be sentenced to not only ten years, but also three to five years. "
When Cheng Xuemei saw that Su Shangwen still didn't realize his mistake at this time, and instead calmly defended his son's behavior, she couldn't help but sneer.
Ignoring the pleading eyes of Su Shangwen's family, Cheng Xuemei waved her hand and loudly said, "Take all the relevant people back for questioning!"
"Comrade police, it's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding. Tan Xiu is our nephew, how could we slander him, and how could we deliberately hurt him?" Seeing that Cheng Xuemei seemed to be serious, Su Shangwen panicked. He grabbed Cheng Xuemei's sleeve and begged loudly.
While Su Shangwen was talking to Cheng Xuemei, he looked at Su Lingyun for help.
Zhang Meiyun also realized that at this moment, only Su Lingyun and Tan Xiu could save her family. She pulled her children's sleeves and slowly walked in front of Su Lingyun.
"Lingyun, as the saying goes, if the people don't report, the officials won't investigate. You see, we are a family, and it's easy to talk behind closed doors. Yaning and Xiangfei's joke was a bit too much, but they are still children playing around. How about you tell the police that we can solve this matter in private?" Zhang Meiyun said with a smile.
Hearing Zhang Meiyun's words, Su Lingyun directly turned her head to the side.
"Second Sister, it's Xiangfei's fault today. I'll let Xiangfei apologize to Xiu, and then we can forget about this matter. If you insist on taking things to the extreme, we won't be seeing each other anymore. " Seeing that Su Lingyun actually dared to put on airs in front of his wife, Su Shangwen couldn't help but snort coldly, and his eyes were filled with a threatening look.
"Don't forget that Tan Xiu is still studying at Xingcheng No. 1 High School. With his grades and character, if it weren't for my relationship with Xingcheng No. 1 High School, he could be kicked out at any time!" The cold voice spat out from Su Shangwen's mouth made the temperature in the room drop by more than ten degrees. Su Lingyun's body also trembled, and she had to turn her head to look at Su Shangwen.
