Faced with the irrefutable evidence, the family was dumbfounded.
They changed from the attitude of victims when they first came in. They were trembling with fear and began to cry and beg for mercy.
"We just wanted to scare her a little."
"We didn't cause much impact. At most we can just refund her the medical expenses she paid."
"Yes, Mr. Policeman, we are willing to return the money."
"… "
The police officer who was in charge of writing the records was also the young man who received Chen Yuan. Hearing this, he stopped writing with his pen and looked up at them. He sneered and said, "So you are just joking?"
The woman who had been pestering Aunt Chen, pulling her hair and hitting her last night was now as cowardly as a quail. She shrank her neck and nodded frantically: "Yes, it was just a joke. We already know we were wrong, so please don't bother with us... We are uneducated and don't know anything."
The young policeman had seen many people like this who were used to playing the victim. He knocked on the table to get them to quiet down and said in a serious tone: "Do you understand what extortion is? Do you know that you will go to jail if you extort others? According to the criminal law, you can be sentenced to 1-3 years."
"What? Jail!"
The whole family was terrified.
The crocodile also cried, "We are not going to jail! We don't know anything. We were just joking with her."
"Quiet." The policeman who was interrogating them patted the table, then looked around at them and said directly: "Tell me, who told you to do it."
The whole family showed frightened expressions, hesitating and not wanting to say anything.
The young policeman was not in a hurry. He put down his pen and simply leaned back on his chair, as if he was going to waste time with them.
"You don't have to tell me. I have plenty of time. But I'll remind you first: if you confess, you'll be treated leniently; if you resist, you'll be treated severely."
"You still have a chance to redeem yourself from your crimes. If you refuse to cooperate with us, then we can only blame you. We will regard it as malicious blackmail."
"Malicious blackmail will be dealt with to the maximum extent possible. A three-year sentence is no problem!"
The reason this family went to trouble Aunt Chen was for money. No matter how much money the Zhou family gave, it was nothing compared to going to jail.
The family cried for a while, and seeing that there was no other way, someone raised his hand tremblingly: "I, I'll tell you."
**
At noon, Zhou's father had lunch with Captain Yang and others at a high-end private restaurant.
I also opened a few bottles of vintage wine.
The meal cost six figures.
However, Zhou's father was very generous and didn't even blink.
Before leaving, he gave everyone a big red envelope, which was quite nice of him.
He and his assistant sent the people to the door and then to the car one by one. He bent down and knocked on the window of Captain Yang's car.
Wait for the window to roll down.
He relaxed his brows and said to the people in the car: "As long as you can get my job done this time, I will thank you later."
He emphasized the word "thank you".
We were all adults, so we smiled happily at each other and quickly finished the greetings.
The man in the car looked at his watch, and the cell phone on the passenger seat lit up. He didn't dare to delay any longer, so he said to Zhou's father, "Then Mr. Zhou, I'll leave first."
Father Zhou stepped aside and said, "Go slowly."
He watched the black car slowly drive away, then he breathed a sigh of relief, feeling more relaxed. He turned around and said to his assistant, "Let's go, and go find that person in the evening."
The person he was talking about was naturally Aunt Chen.
He hadn't even realized the danger of the impending storm.
