Chen Xing sat at Zhong Ling's house. The few young men who came to cause trouble drove their motorcycles out of the village and stopped at a restaurant in the center of the town. The few men entered a private room with familiarity. Not long after, a police car also stopped in front of the restaurant, and the two policemen who got out of the car were the two from before. The two of them also walked into the restaurant one after another, and then pushed the door into a private room.
Brother Zhao and Brother Qi were here. Seeing the two policemen coming in, the seven or eight men in the private room stood up. They seemed to be familiar with the two policemen in front of them.
"You brats, don't you know your place for a day?" The older policeman pointed to a few people, walked to a table and sat down.
Brother Zhao, look at what you're saying. We're just thinking of showing our filial piety to you. The eagle-eyed man smiled flatteringly, picked up the teapot and poured water for the older policeman. "Brother Zhao, drink water, drink water."
"Is the Mercedes-Benz with a Hong Kong license plate parked on the roadside theirs?" The older policeman took the cup and asked.
The eagle-eyed man glanced at Liu Ergou behind him. Liu Ergou immediately walked up. He knew what Brother Zhao wanted to know, so he explained in detail. "Brother Zhao, the car must be theirs. The woman's name is Zhong Ling, the daughter of Old Zhong in our village. She used to teach in the city's No. 1 Middle School. I don't know when she resigned from the school this year. I heard that she went south to work in Yang City. When she came back before the New Year, she drove a Mercedes-Benz. The villagers are talking about Old Zhong's family becoming rich. Now they are even preparing to build a house.
I heard that they are going to build a villa. "Seeing that the older policeman did not speak, Liu Ergou continued." Brother Zhao, this Old Zhong's family must have no background. I am in the same village as him, so I know his family's situation very well. He is an honest farmer. Now that his daughter has become rich, he has begun to act arrogantly. This time, we picked Old Zhong because his daughter is rich, and his family has no connections, so we made our move this morning.
That woman is driving a car with a Hong Kong license plate. I'm afraid that you guys won't be able to blackmail me this time. The senior policeman frowned. Zhong Ling drove a car with a Hong Kong license plate, so the senior policeman obviously had some scruples. When it involved Hong Kong residents, even a small matter could become a big deal. In Hong Kong, there were still a few people who had some resistance to the mainland. The Hong Kong media was also open to reporting. If something happened in the mainland that involved Hong Kong residents, the media would probably swarm over. At that time, things would be tricky. He was just a small policeman, and he couldn't cover up such a thing.
Brother Zhao, you worry too much, that Zhong Ling used to be a teacher, she has no background, even if she is now successful, so what, driving a Hong Kong car does not mean that she is a Hong Kong person, our village people are all privately saying that this Zhong Ling might have a big boss, in just half a year she became rich, otherwise, a woman who went to work in Yangcheng for half a year, who would believe it, Yangcheng is so close to Hong Kong, I guess, she might have really become the lover of some big boss in Hong Kong, that's why she has this Mercedes-Benz RV. Brother Zhao, you worry too much, that Zhong Ling used to be just a teacher, she has no background, even if she is now successful, so what, driving a Hong Kong car doesn't mean that she is a Hong Kong person, the people in our village are all privately saying that this Zhong Ling might have a big boss in Hong Kong, in just half a year, otherwise, a woman who went to work in Yangcheng for half a year would become so rich, who would believe, Yangcheng is so close to Hong Kong, I guess, she might really have become the lover of some big boss in Hong Kong, that's why she has this Mercedes-Benz RV. Liu Ergou said vividly with the appearance of a dog-headed advisor.
The senior policeman was silent. What Liu Ergou said did make sense. She only went out to work for half a year, and she became so rich. If she did proper things, it would be impossible to make money so quickly. Even if she went to do sex business, it would be impossible to make so much money. There was really no other reasonable explanation except for the possibility that Liu Ergou said, which also made the senior policeman less scrupulous for a while. If it was only this reason, then he had nothing to be afraid of.
Brother Zhao, Zhong Ling has most likely become the mistress of a rich big boss. The big boss behind the scenes should be from Hong Kong, but this doesn't affect anything. If an outsider comes to our place, what can he do? This is Brother Zhao's territory. Even if a dragon comes, it will have to bow down to you.
Don't flatter me. If something really happens, I can't protect you. The senior policeman curled his lips, but he was very happy in his heart, and it was obvious that the senior policeman had been persuaded by Liu Ergou's words. If the other party really had no background, it was indeed suitable to extort a sum of money.
The reason why the eagle-eyed man and his gang dared to be so unscrupulous was due to the deliberate indulgence of the police station. Of course, the older policemen also benefited a lot from this kind of thing. For example, if the eagle-eyed man and his gang extorted ten thousand yuan, they would have to offer five thousand yuan. This five thousand yuan would be used by the older policeman to show his filial respect to the station's leader. He would also have to share some of the money with his subordinates to shut the mouths of the others. Then, the rest would be his own. Everyone would get a little, but the one who got the most was still the station's leader.
The town police station turned a blind eye to the behavior of these people. As long as they did not cause any big trouble, the people in the police station would not interfere. The eagle-eyed man and his gang also had a sense of propriety. If they wanted to blackmail people, they would specifically choose soft persimmons to pinch. For those who were rich and powerful, the eagle-eyed man and his gang were also very tactful and would not touch them. Only those who had a good family background and did not have any connections became the fat meat in the eyes of the eagle-eyed man and his gang. Zhong Ling's family had also recently become their target. Liu Ergou was a member of this gang. Seeing that Old Man Zhong's family in the same village had money, he began to conspire with his companions to attack Old Man Zhong. Liu Ergou knew the situation of Old Man Zhong's family very well. He knew that this family was honest people, so a few people quickly attacked Old Man Zhong.
Brother Zhao, don't worry about this matter. We've done so many things before. When did we cause trouble for you? Every time, it was not smooth. Most people's mentality was to spend money to eliminate disasters. No one was willing to make things bigger. Ordinary people were easy to bully. Brother Zhao, don't worry too much. In this day and age, those who are bold will die, and those who are timid will starve to death. The eagle-eyed man tried his best to persuade him.
The other party was driving a Mercedes-Benz RV. Photon, how much money are you going to extort this time? The old policeman looked at the eagle-eyed man with a smile.
Twenty thousand yuan. The eagle-eyed man smiled embarrassedly. If he had known earlier, he would not have said that it was a fracture. He would have said that it was internal bleeding or something. If it was more serious, he would have been able to extort more money.
"Look at you. You only extorted twenty thousand yuan from a person who can afford a Mercedes-Benz. I feel ashamed for you. Don't tell others that you are under my protection. I can't afford to lose my face." The old policeman laughed and scolded.
Brother Zhao, previously, you said that you want them to compensate twenty thousand yuan. It's not good to change your mind. The eagle-eyed man muttered.
Photon, do you have a one-track mind? Look at what you're doing. Extortion. Do you know what extortion is? Do you need me to teach you how to do it? The senior policeman scolded him in disappointment.
"Yes, yes. Brother Zhao, you are right. I know what to do." The eagle-eyed man nodded and smiled.
"What did you say? I taught you to do this? Photon, are you talking in your sleep? " The old policeman gently placed the teacup on the table. His eyes glanced at the eagle-eyed man.
"Hehe. Why would Brother Zhao teach me to do this? This is my own idea. Brother Zhao, you are a policeman who serves the people." The eagle-eyed man hurriedly smiled and changed his words. Do you think we don't know who you are? "
Chen Xing chatted with Zhong Ling's parents. Chen Xing was a little overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of Zhong Ling's parents. He felt a little strange. The way Zhong Ling's parents looked at him was a little strange. Chen Xing did not think that Zhong Ling's boyfriend was the reason. He could not figure out why. Chen Xing smiled bitterly at the enthusiasm of the two elders.
Zhong Ling sat on the side. Seeing that her parents treated Chen Xing as their son-in-law, Zhong Ling was angry and amused. The stubbornness of the two elders was beyond her imagination. It was useless to explain to them.
Chen Xing sat and chatted with Zhong Ling's parents. He was not in a hurry to hint that he wanted to leave. The two elders asked Chen Xing to stay for lunch. Chen Xing agreed readily. He thought that the group of people might come back again. Chen Xing also wanted to see if his judgment was correct.
It turned out that Chen Xing's judgment was correct. At noon, less than an hour after the eagle-eyed man and his group left, they came back again. Unlike before, this time, the eagle-eyed man and his group came back with a lame man whose leg was wrapped in gauze. Chen Xing and the others heard someone shouting outside the door. When they went out to take a look, they realized that the group of people had come back again.
"It's you again." When Zhong Ling's father saw this group of people, he was furious.
"Old Zhong, look, this is the man who was hit by someone. Do you still want to deny it?" Liu Ergou pointed to the lame man beside him. "Did you see that? His leg is wrapped in thick gauze."
"Then ask him to take off the gauze for me to have a look. As long as he really has a fracture and can prove that it was my dad's motorcycle that hit him, I will really pay the 20,000 yuan." Zhong Ling looked at the injured man with a sneer. She did not believe that the other party's bones were really broken. However, there was always an accident. If the other party really broke his leg elsewhere and wanted to blame it on her father, she would certainly not be fooled like this. Therefore, Zhong Ling also made a watertight request.
"Tsk, how can you be so cruel? His leg has been broken, and you still want him to take off the gauze. You want him to be disabled on purpose. You are really too cruel." The eagle-eyed man's face was full of righteousness. "If you don't pay the money today, we will not leave. We must seek justice for our brothers."
"I didn't say that I won't pay the money. Didn't I just say that as long as you can prove that his leg is really broken and that it was my dad who hit him, I will pay the money? My request is also reasonable. Prove it to me."
"Zhong Ling, you are simply unreasonable. I am too lazy to talk to you." Liu Ergou glared at Zhong Ling fiercely. His eyes lingered on her face for a while before he turned to Zhong Ling's father. "Old Zhong, if you are not willing to pay the money, don't even think about building your house. We will come to harass you every day. I don't believe that we can't make a fuss." Liu Ergou had already realized that Zhong Ling was a hard bone to chew. He was thinking about starting with Zhong Ling's father.
"How dare you." Zhong Ling's father said sternly.
At this moment, the police car appeared again. It was the same two policemen from before. They walked over with serious expressions and exchanged glances with the eagle-eyed man and the others. The older policeman coughed lightly, looked at Zhong Ling, and said in a serious tone, "We have investigated clearly just now. It was indeed you who hit someone. Other villagers saw it. They said that they saw the injured person fall under your motorcycle. This is enough to prove that you hit someone. The injured person went to the hospital to take an X-ray, and it was also confirmed that he had a fracture. Do you want to negotiate privately or?"
Do you want to negotiate privately or? "The older policeman did not finish his words, but his meaning could not be more obvious. If they did not negotiate privately, they could only go to court. The law was not so popular among rural people. Many people would instinctively feel afraid when they heard about the court. As a result, many people would not think of using legal means to protect their legitimate rights and interests when their rights were violated. At this time, when Zhong Ling's father heard the policeman's words, he was also very anxious." Comrade police, I really did not hit anyone. He lay down in front of my motorcycle. The passersby did not see the whole story, so they naturally subjectively thought that I hit him. This can't be counted, it can't be counted. "
"Old Zhong, what do you mean by this? Do you suspect that the police are handling the case unfairly? Do you still have any respect for the police? I think you are getting bolder and bolder. You even dare to talk back to the police." Liu Ergou shouted loudly. Seeing that the police were backing him up, Liu Ergou also used his connections to intimidate them. He wanted to suppress them with his momentum.
Zhong Ling's father was a little stunned by the other party's words. He hurriedly explained, "Comrade police, I am not doubting you. I am just, I am just …" "Ah, I am just being wronged." Zhong Ling's father stamped his feet angrily and scratched his head hard. Suddenly, Zhong Ling's father's eyes lit up. "Yes, there were people farming in the farmland next to the highway at that time. Some of them must have seen what happened."
Zhong Ling's father paced back and forth anxiously. He thought of someone, clapped his hands and said excitedly, "I remember now. Old Li was working in the farmland next to the highway at that time. His family's land is next to the highway. He must have seen it. I am going to find him now."
Hearing this, Liu Ergou became anxious. They were all from the same village, so he naturally knew who Old Li was. Hearing Zhong Ling's father's words, Liu Ergou immediately thought that Old Li was indeed working in the farmland next to the highway. It was hard to guarantee that the old man had really seen what happened. Although it was obvious that they wanted to blackmail people, they did not want to complicate matters. Liu Ergou quivered and immediately stopped Zhong Ling's father. "Hey, hey, Old Zhong, who do you want to find? Let me tell you, it is not so easy to escape. It is not too late to find someone after you pay the money.
Then you can find whoever you want. Humph, Liu Ergou, what do you mean by this? Can't I find someone to prove that I did not hit anyone? Do you have a guilty conscience? " Zhong Ling's father snorted coldly.
"It is not that we have a guilty conscience. It is that you have been trying to act shamelessly before. You obviously hit someone, but you still want to deny it. Who knows if you will run away or not?" Liu Ergou said in a serious manner.
The eagle-eyed man and the others at the side were not from this village. Although they did not know who Old Man Li was, when they heard Liu Ergou arguing with him, they guessed that this person might have really seen what happened. The few of them exchanged glances quietly. The eagle-eyed man looked at the elderly policeman with an aggrieved expression. "Brother policeman, you have to uphold justice for us brothers. Look, this old man bumped into someone and still wants to deny it. You guys have already investigated clearly, yet he still said that he didn't. Isn't he trying to deny it? He even doubted you guys. Isn't he looking down on the police?"
"You better shut up." The elderly policeman glared at the eagle-eyed man. On the surface, that was the case, but a smile flashed in the depths of their eyes at the same time. The elderly policeman walked towards Zhong Ling and the others and pretended to persuade them. "Uncle, you really hit someone. I think you should compensate them a little, so that it will not be good for you if you go to court. The facts are in front of you. When the time comes, the court will definitely sentence you to compensate. You might as well compensate now and save yourself trouble in the future."
"But, I really didn't hit anyone." Father Zhong was so angry that his eyes widened. Even the police said so. Father Zhong felt that it was ridiculous. He stared straight at the elderly policeman. Father Zhong wanted to say that he suspected that they were in cahoots with the other party, but he did not dare to say it.
Old man, you bumped into someone, so compensation is a matter of course. Just now, we came over to ask you for compensation, but you refused. Now, you want us to make a trip here again. You even caused my injured brother to run out of the hospital without recuperating. This time, you have it easy. Just pay 100,000 yuan, and everything will be over. We will also leave immediately.
"What? 100,000 dollars? " Father Zhong almost jumped up. "Why don't you go rob a bank? Just now, it was 20,000 dollars, and now it has become 100,000 dollars. Let me tell you, it's not even a dime."
The elderly policeman's eyelids twitched slightly. He secretly glanced at the eagle-eyed man, and secretly cursed in his heart. This bastard really dared to ask. He just hinted that the other party could afford a Mercedes-Benz, and extorting 20,000 dollars was too little. He did not say the specific amount, but this kid really dared to ask for an exorbitant price.
Although he was thinking in his heart, the elderly policeman did not show it on his face. If he could really extort 100,000 dollars, then he would get a lot, which would be equivalent to his income for half a year. The elderly policeman was a little tempted for a moment. He glanced at the eagle-eyed man and the others. Whether they could succeed or not depended on them. After all, he was still wearing a police uniform. He could only help by the side, and it was impossible for him to directly help extort people.
"Ahem, aren't you asking them for compensation a little too much?" The elderly policeman pretended that he could not stand it and said.
"Brother police comrade, we are not deliberately extorting people. You see, my friend's leg is broken, and he will not be able to work for a period of time. The compensation for loss of working time, treatment, nutrition, mental damage, and so on, really add up to so much. We have not included the compensation that may be left behind in the future. Many people have fractures when they are young, and are prone to rheumatism when they are old. I haven't asked him to calculate this." The eagle-eyed man counted with his fingers.
The elderly policeman's stomach twitched when he heard this, and he almost couldn't help laughing. This kid was really good at making up stories. It was lucky that he did not protect him in vain. He was smart and really worth cultivating in the future. Maybe he would really become the hen that laid eggs for him.
The elderly policeman was embarrassed for a moment, and then looked at Zhong Ling. He took a few steps closer and whispered to Zhong Ling and the others, "You see, if you don't compensate these people, they will pester you endlessly. If you don't pay 100,000 dollars now, they may ask you to pay 200,000 dollars tomorrow. It's not good for the police to intervene in this kind of thing, because you did hit someone, and it's natural for them to ask for compensation. If they come to make trouble here, you won't have peace, either. It's better to pay them the money, and nothing will happen.
"If you have money, you can pay them. Help us spend money to eliminate disasters. Don't you policemen also have to serve the people wholeheartedly?" Chen Xing suddenly said.
Hearing this discordant voice, the elderly policeman frowned. "How can you say that? I'm kind enough to help you, but you're making sarcastic remarks. If you continue like this, I won't care anymore. If these people make trouble, let's see if you can bear it."
Chen Xing stared at the elderly policeman with a faint smile. "You call this helping people? Just now, I heard from the beginning to the end. Why do I feel that you are helping them to extort money? "
"Ah, what do you mean? Are you saying that I'm in cahoots with them? " The elderly policeman was furious and threatened. "If you talk nonsense again, I'll deal with you. Do you know what the crime is to slander the police?"
"What crime is to slander the police?" "Tell me." Chen Xing sneered. "I don't know what crime it is for the police to cooperate with the hooligans in society to extort money from the people." "I think you not only don't want the hat on your head, but also want to go to jail."
"Ah ha, you're very eloquent. I'm too lazy to argue with you." The elderly policeman was also angry. He stared at Chen Xing with an unfriendly expression. "I won't care about this matter today, lest people say that I'm in cahoots with others when I help to mediate the dispute out of goodwill. However, since you slandered the police, I suspect that you have a criminal record. You have to come with me to the police station."
As the elderly policeman spoke, he winked at his colleague behind him. The two of them surrounded Chen Xing. It seemed that they really wanted to make a move. Zhang Min, the driver behind Chen Xing, saw this situation and quickly stepped forward. Although He Qi was not from the armed police force like Zhang Min, he also stood in front of Chen Xing. It was his duty to protect his leader. This was a rare opportunity to show off.
"You have a helper. I'm more and more suspicious that you have a criminal record. Maybe it's a gang. Come with us to the police station. If there's no investigation, you can leave. Otherwise, don't even think about leaving Jian An City." When the elderly policeman saw Zhang Min and He Qi, he stopped in his tracks. He took out his phone and prepared to call for reinforcements.
"Xiao Zhang, Xiao He, let's go to the police station to cooperate with the investigation, lest we become a criminal gang." Chen Xing smiled as he signaled to the two of them with his eyes, stopping them from making any further moves. He then put on a look of cooperation.
