Chapter 284 Can we also report the case?
Just three days later, An Songyu and his daughter were invited over by two police officers again.
Upon hearing the results of the investigation and the incident involving the young man's family, An Songyu and his daughter remained silent.
The two policemen couldn't help but exchange a glance when they saw this.
Just as they were considering how to begin, An Jianping spoke first:
“We already said this at the hospital: since the accident happened in our house, we can temporarily cover the medical expenses.”
"But we demand the truth."
"It's not a compromise of any kind; it's the truth."
"Also, tomorrow marks one month. Could you please inform the other party's family to come and collect their luggage?"
"Otherwise, we will handle it according to the contract... or, we will not rule out calling the police."
"After all, we had a contract in place when we rented the place."
"In the event of force majeure, we can terminate the lease in a timely manner, but we must provide the tenant with compensation as stipulated in the contract."
"In addition, no compensation will be provided if the notice of termination of the lease is given one month in advance."
"I think we should have all met the conditions as stipulated in the contract."
After recounting this, An Jianping, contrary to his solemn and serious demeanor, gave a rather helpless, bitter smile:
"To be honest, in our village this time, there are a total of fifteen houses in the land demolition project that are used for rental."
"But out of all the tenants in these fifteen buildings, we've only encountered one person like this."
“When I came here last time, you said you couldn’t say whether there were any lights that night.”
"But the burden of proof lies with the person making the claim."
“We already have relevant evidence to prove that we did cut off the water and electricity to his room.”
"Then it should be his turn to prove that we have already cut off the water and electricity."
"Otherwise, can we also report the incident of the water and electricity being cut off in the rental property?"
"So how do you plan to report this?" The two policemen looked at An Jianping with a rather annoyed expression.
"Who knows... After all, a tenant was injured in my house, and the medical expenses alone have caused me a huge loss." An Jianping, however, remained completely unaffected and continued speaking:
"The reason for this is that the water and electricity were cut off."
“Our tenant says he didn’t cut the lease, and we also have evidence to prove that we didn’t cut the lease.”
"Wouldn't it be better for us to just call the police and let them investigate?"
The two policemen were stunned by An Jianping's shameless statement.
But upon closer reflection, from this perspective, he does seem to have a reason to call the police.
so……
The two exchanged a glance, and instantly developed a tacit understanding through their long-standing partnership.
After a while, one of them made an excuse to leave.
However, when he returned a short while later, his attitude had changed.
After An Jianping and the other man left, he went directly to the large office next door to inform the young man's family.
Yes, they couldn't keep people waiting at the main entrance any longer, so they had no choice but to let them come inside and wait in the main office.
When the police told them to move the young man's belongings, some of them immediately became unhappy.
The police officer who came to notify them immediately reached out and stopped the other person from speaking before they could:
“Your family has a rental contract when they rented the house.”
"According to the contract, in such a situation, it is permissible to notify them to move out immediately, let alone notify them to do so a month later."
"It's just that according to the contract, the homeowner has to pay more money."
"How much compensation?" a woman asked in a low voice.
The police officer paused for a moment, then, without specifying the amount, said:
"In short, according to the terms of the rental agreement, I have now been notified of the termination of the lease for a full month."
"Not only will the landlord not have to pay you money, but you also have to move out immediately, otherwise they will call the police directly."
"Why? They haven't even finished dealing with my son's matter, so how can they kick people out?" Another woman next to her widened her eyes instantly.
The police officer stared at him silently for a long while before saying:
"The homeowner also raised other opinions regarding this matter."
"Because no one in their family lives there; your son is the only one living in the entire building."
"The homeowner also believes that the misfortune of your son was caused by the water and electricity outages."
"So they are also preparing to report this to the police!"
"What do you mean?" The young man's family members didn't understand what the police officer meant at all, and couldn't help but look at each other and ask.
"What I mean is... although your son said that the landlord cut off his water and electricity, the landlord has documents to prove that they only cut off the water and electricity to other rooms in the building, and did not cut off your son's room or the common areas."
"On the contrary, you have no evidence to prove that the landlord did this."
"But the landlord understands how you feel about someone in your family being injured and wants to call the police to find out the real culprit."
The captain, who had arrived at some unknown time, explained things to the group in great detail.
Seeing the slight change in the expressions of two of them upon hearing this, he couldn't help but chuckle.
Originally, he did indeed intend to avoid trouble.
After all, one side consists of wealthy individuals with property who are also being relocated due to demolition.
One side consists of ordinary migrant workers from other places.
If both parties are willing to reach a settlement, they are not necessarily unable to turn a blind eye.
However, it is clear that neither side intends to reconcile at present.
Even from what the residents being relocated said, they didn't seem to care about making a big fuss and dragging things out for a little longer.
So, even for their own sake, they have to make more efforts.
Thinking about who was responsible for this outcome, the police captain couldn't help but look at the young man's family.
If they hadn't been blocking people every day, would he have let things be resolved so hastily?
Now it's all good...
"Wait, why is it like this? My brother broke his leg, we called the police, why do we have to find the evidence ourselves?"
"So you had no evidence, yet you just called the police and said it was your landlord who did it?" The police captain raised an eyebrow slightly.
Fortunately, someone on the other side reacted quickly, grabbing the young man and forcing a smile:
"Let's go back and discuss this with my son first."
"After all, the rental contract and keys are still with him."
"You should contact the landlord before you go to move your things!" the person who came to inform them kindly reminded them.
When he saw the whole family turn to look at him at the same time, with rather unfriendly looks in their eyes, he almost wanted to roll his eyes.
"The landlord said that since something has already happened to the house, it is no longer safe."
"After you left, they locked the house immediately, and you can't just enter without contacting them."
"Once they enter, regardless of the reason, they will call the police."
In the end, even the police officer was a little frustrated.
What's going on between these two parties?
Do they really think they're police officers with nothing better to do?
They always seem to bring up the issue of calling the police the moment they start talking about it.
They're so idle!
