Chapter 281 Did he really get the better deal?
Two men in police uniforms were standing beside the bed.
They turned around immediately when they heard An Songyu come in.
Yuan Qionghua, who had just gone out to pick up An Songyu, carefully introduced the two parties.
An Songyu glanced at the young man lying on the bed.
He didn't show any particular expression when An Songyu arrived.
An Songyu didn't greet him, but instead greeted the two policemen directly and said, "This is the order form we completed yesterday."
"The area where we lost power and water is clearly marked on it."
"In addition, this is the receipt from when he talked to us the day before yesterday about the stairwell sensor light being broken. It shows the receipt from when we repaired it, as well as the repair request form that he signed again."
The two policemen exchanged a glance before taking An Songyu's phone.
These contents are indeed present in the latest photos I received on my phone.
“We also have a copy of the original. If needed, I will call someone to send it over,” An Songyu continued.
The two policemen returned An Songyu's phone to her.
He cleared his throat lightly before saying, "Ms. An, there are still some details about this matter that we need to understand from you. Would that be convenient?"
An Songyu glanced at the person on the bed and nodded slightly.
After the three of them had a detailed conversation outside the ward, they returned to the ward.
In the ward, the young man remained half-lying down without moving.
An Songyu looked at Yuan Qionghua beside her and shook her head slightly.
"Then let's proceed as Ms. An suggested!" After confirming with An Songyu again, the two police officers went to the young man's bedside.
An Songyu glanced at it and then called Yuan Qionghua to leave.
"Can we leave like this?" Yuan Qionghua asked after leaving the ward.
An Songyu shrugged slightly. "Of course we can't just leave like this."
Yuan Qionghua stopped and looked at her niece.
"We need to pay the medical bills before we can leave," An Songyu said with a smile.
Yuan Qionghua was slightly taken aback, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.
"As for the rest, the police will handle the investigation. We just need to cooperate with their requests," An Songyu continued.
"That's what the police said?" Yuan Qionghua looked back at the ward and asked, somewhat incredulously.
"What else?" An Songyu raised an eyebrow dismissively.
“But…” Yuan Qionghua was still extremely hesitant.
After all, she was the first one to arrive, and the two policemen weren't so easy to talk to back then.
They also said that no matter what, they should have the homeowner come over first before discussing anything else.
But now, the two only glanced at each other from afar and didn't talk about anything. Why did the police's attitude change?
"What is Auntie thinking? Does she really think the police will make us confront each other?" An Songyu asked, somewhat amused.
Yuan Qionghua nodded without hesitation.
In her mind, such matters naturally require listening to both sides.
It can't be that whoever calls the police wins, can it?
"That will probably be a matter for the future. As for now... naturally, we need to heal our injuries first," An Songyu said, shaking her head slightly.
Seeing Yuan Qionghua frown instantly, An Songyu smiled instead:
"There's nothing wrong with things being the way they are now!"
“Since he called the police and said that it was because we cut off the water and electricity that he fell and got injured.”
"Then we'll be nicer. If it needs treatment, we'll treat it; if it needs money, we'll pay it."
"However, all of this is based on the premise that... no matter what, the money must not fall into his hands."
“I just explained to the police that, according to our evidence, we did not cut off his water and electricity.”
"But he was injured in our rented apartment, and it happened during the time we were renting the place."
"Then, morally speaking, we can cover the medical expenses first."
"As for who will be responsible for the money later, that depends on the final outcome of the case."
"Besides, we are just landlords, not relatives."
"We can temporarily pay the medical expenses, but we cannot take care of the patient, etc."
"So, we'll have to trouble his workplace and the police station to figure out how to notify his family."
“After all, we are just landlords. When he rented the house, he only provided his ID card and signed a rental agreement. We don’t have any other information about him.”
"In addition, according to the rental agreement, we have notified all tenants in advance of the demolition of the house."
"And they were also given corresponding compensation."
"The reason why he is still alone in the rented house should also be considered."
Yuan Qionghua had actually said these things before.
Thinking about the police's attitude back then, she couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.
"Hopefully, the police officers will believe us!"
An Songyu had already started paying the fees.
After paying all the fees, she said helplessly:
"It's no longer a matter of belief or disbelief."
After all, when the police investigate a case, they seek evidence.
When the young man called the police, his room indeed had no water or electricity.
I wonder if the police will be able to find out who actually cut off the water and electricity to his room.
Based on An Songyu's experience watching crime dramas in his later years.
In this era, fingerprints, footprints, and other similar identification methods should already exist to determine the true perpetrator.
However, this method of investigation is also subject to limitations imposed by real-world conditions.
Even if someone has the skills, there might not be a capable person in this small police station.
Moreover, for a small case like theirs, it's uncertain whether such methods are even necessary.
Moreover, Yuan Qionghua's intuition was not wrong.
Those two police officers did indeed have a fairly obvious bias.
It's not that he only trusts the person who reports the crime.
An Songyu felt that they preferred to settle things peacefully.
It's likely that for them, this small case is nothing more than a financial dispute between the two parties.
They don't necessarily approve of the young people wanting a share of the demolition compensation.
However, since the young man called the police because the homeowner cut off his water and electricity, forcing him to leave and causing his broken leg, they still hope that An Songyu will take responsibility.
So now An Songyu has thought it through very clearly.
If things will ultimately turn out that way.
It's not that she can't afford the money.
“But that would be too easy on him, wouldn’t it?” Yuan Qionghua was still extremely unhappy.
"Did he really get the better deal?" An Songyu asked, raising an eyebrow slightly.
Yuan Qionghua was somewhat confused.
An Songyu thought for a moment before saying:
"Auntie, do you know that there's a girl in our dorm whose arms always ache before it rains?"
"How would I know?" Yuan Qionghua muttered softly, but still couldn't help asking:
"Why? Is it because she injured her arm before?"
The moment those words were uttered, Yuan Qionghua realized what was going on.
She looked at her niece, her eyes wide, and asked:
"Will that person's injury be like that in the future?"
