Chapter 15: Someone Died and They Still Have to Pay Compensation
Chapter 15: Someone Died and They Still Have to Pay Compensation
Director Wang is extremely irrational right now; she hates Lao Mo and Yi Zhonghai.
If it weren't for those beasts like Number 95 dragging her down with them, how could she be where she is today?
Her lovely son, just twelve years old this year, is gone because of these beasts.
Most importantly, at her age, she probably can't have children anymore.
If she hadn't been suppressing her rationality, she would have wanted to stand up and tear Yi Zhonghai to pieces.
"Okay, okay, I'll go. Director Wang, please don't be angry. Take care of yourself, your health is the most important thing..."
As Yi Zhonghai spoke, he backed away, eventually leaving the courtyard with no other option.
It seems that if we want to use Director Wang to do our dirty work, we'll have to wait until he recovers.
At this moment, Yi Zhonghai felt extremely bitter.
That damned old Mo, he's caused so much harm!
Gritting his teeth, Yi Zhonghai walked towards the Red Star Institute again.
His half-old idiot wife and Jia Zhangshi are still locked up inside!
He didn't know that Lao Mo had been released. If he knew now, I wonder how he would feel.
Soon, Yi Zhonghai arrived at the Hongxing Police Station, where he was received by the on-duty police officer.
"Comrade, I'm Yi Zhonghai, an old man from courtyard number 95. I've come to inquire when He Yuzhu and Zhang Cuihua from our courtyard will be released?"
"Oh, please wait a moment."
The on-duty police officer glanced through the files and said, "Is this the case you're talking about? I'm sorry, He Yuzhu and Zhang Cuihua are both suspected of manslaughter. They won't be able to go back for the time being."
"What? Manslaughter? How is that possible?"
Yi Zhonghai was so startled that he stood up abruptly.
The on-duty police officer was startled by him, glared at him, and said, "Why are you reacting so strongly? If you want to know more, please go up to the second floor and find Captain Chen Qingshan in our captain's office. He's in charge of this case."
"Oh. Thank you!"
Yi Zhonghai quickly thanked him and then hurried upstairs to the second floor.
He was very lucky to meet Chen Qingshan here.
"Captain Chen, how are He Yuzhu and Zhang Cuihua suspected of manslaughter?"
Chen Qingshan said in a businesslike manner, "Master Yi, they are indeed suspected of manslaughter. If He Yuzhu hadn't turned Jia Geng's body over, causing the kitchen knife to fall, Jia Geng might have been saved."
Zhang Cuihua bears greater responsibility. She sat on the victim's head, causing the victim's head to twist to the left, reopening the wound on the neck, which led to death. Therefore, they cannot leave yet; they must stay and cooperate with our investigation.
"what?"
Yi Zhonghai was completely numb.
So it turns out they were the ones who killed Bang Geng?
"What about Old Mo? He's the real murderer! Just arrest Old Mo, why are you bothering them? They're the victim's family!"
Chen Qingshan was annoyed when he heard this.
"Master Yi, you keep saying that Chen Jinmo is the murderer. What evidence do you have to prove that he is the murderer? If you have any, please present it to cooperate with our investigation. If you don't, then there's something wrong with what you're saying."
Chen Qingshan was also annoyed with Yi Zhonghai. Yesterday, the guy came into the hospital and immediately accused Lao Mo of being the murderer. But in the end, he couldn't produce any evidence and just had to talk.
Yi Zhonghai quickly said, "He threatened me back then. If he hadn't killed me, what right would he have to threaten me like that?"
Chen Qingshan's face hardened even more: "The threat you mentioned, is it the one he asked you about his daughter's whereabouts?"
Yi Zhonghai nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, he said, 'Yi Zhonghai, can you tell me where my daughter went now?' That's right, that's the sentence. Doesn't that amount to him admitting it?"
Chen Qingshan was speechless. How could he possibly have a conversation with someone who was completely ignorant of the law?
He patiently explained, "His daughter is missing. Shouldn't he ask you? Does that mean he's not allowed to ask about his missing daughter? Does asking constitute murder?"
"I……"
Yi Zhonghai stared with wide, bewildered eyes and said, "Doesn't his saying that amount to admitting it?"
Chen Qingshan said impatiently, "He explained that's not what he meant. Master Yi, can you provide any other concrete evidence?"
Chen Qingshan also hoped that he could produce evidence.
However, Yi Zhonghai shook his head helplessly.
Chen Qingshan said helplessly, "Then I'm sorry, there is no evidence at the scene to prove that Chen Jinmo killed the person. On the contrary, he was a victim who was beaten and killed by someone who broke into his home."
He Yuzhu and Zhang Cuihua were two of the participants, so in addition to staying to cooperate with our investigation, they also have to compensate the victim, Chen Jinmo, for his losses.
It's numb, it's numb.
Yi Zhonghai was completely stunned, staring at Chen Qingshan in disbelief. He never imagined it would turn out this way.
Chen Qingshan sighed and said, "Master Yi, you don't need to look at me like that. I haven't favored anyone in this case. Based on the current evidence, whoever handled it would have gotten the same result."
After calming himself down, Yi Zhonghai asked, "When will He Yuzhu and Zhang Cuihua be able to come out?"
Chen Qingshan said, "Although He Yuzhu and Zhang Cuihua committed manslaughter, the circumstances are not very serious, so we can let them go back."
But once they return, they cannot leave Beijing and must be available at any time. As an elder in their compound, can you vouch for them?
The reason the situation wasn't serious was because Bang Geng was already in critical condition at the time, and even without their mistake, he wouldn't have been saved.
Their mistakes only hastened the death of the pheasant by a tiny bit.
Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai nodded immediately: "Yes, I can vouch for them. Can we let them go back now?"
Chen Qingshan: "Not yet. They were the instigators this time. They broke into our home, threatened to kill us, and caused very serious consequences. Although they didn't kill anyone, they still have to pay compensation to the victims."
"If they want to go back, they have to compensate Chen Jinmo 150 yuan. We can only let them go after they pay the compensation."
"What? We have to pay Lao Mo 150 yuan in compensation?"
Yi Zhonghai felt as if his heart had been violently struck by something.
Damn it, someone died, and they still have to pay compensation. Is there no justice in this world?
However, he would never dare to say these words aloud.
"Okay. I'll pay for them."
Yi Zhonghai clutched his chest and uttered those words.
It's so uncomfortable and frustrating!
The price they paid to secure those three houses was too high.
I already gave Lao Mo 1150 yuan, and now I have to give him another 150 yuan, which makes it 1300 yuan.
Most importantly, his best caregiver for his retirement is gone.
If he had known it would turn out this way, he would never have agreed to let the Jia family help him with this.
But now, it's all too late.
