Chapter 84 I am willing to cooperate with your investigation
Shang Ruoting and Tan Chen were wandering aimlessly on the street when someone patted Tan Chen's shoulder from behind.
They were two police officers, and standing next to them was the tall and thin man who had just sold them the stamps.
"Comrade, someone has accused you of speculation and privately reselling stamps."
"Let me take out your letters of introduction first."
Tan Chen looked at the tall and thin man and his face suddenly darkened.
He knew that the stamps were on Shang Ruoting's body, and the evidence would be found as long as the police searched her.
By then, they will be speechless and become passive.
In order to help Shang Ruoting get out of this situation, Tan Chen plans to take the responsibility himself.
"Comrade Public Security..."
He had barely opened his mouth when Shang Ruoting stopped him: "Comrade Public Security, we have no idea what you're talking about."
As she spoke, she took out her and Tan Chen's letter of introduction from her pocket and handed it to the police: "We came to Zhuang City to take the train and plan to go to Beijing for medical treatment. We have never engaged in speculation or profiteering."
Seeing that Shang Ruoting remained silent, Tan Chen temporarily suppressed his intention to take all the responsibility and prepared to wait and see what would happen.
The police carefully looked at the two people's letters of introduction and returned them to Shang Ruoting after confirming that there was no problem.
"Then why did this person accuse you of illegally reselling stamps?"
The tall and thin man was anxious: "Comrade Public Security, I saw with my own eyes that they both had a small notebook with a stamp tucked inside. If you don't believe me, you can search them."
After saying that, he showed a smug look to Tan Chen and Shang Ruoting, which meant to say, I let you treat me like that just now, and today I will make you pay for it.
Seeing this, Shang Ruoting calmly looked at the two police officers and said, "Comrade Police, we are willing to cooperate with the body search. If we don't find any notebooks or stamps, what should we say?"
The police officer looked at the tall and thin man and asked, "Are you sure you didn't wrongly accuse a good person?"
The tall and thin man looked at the calm and composed girl at this moment, and felt a little doubtful in his heart. But when he thought about how he saw her put the small notebook into her shirt pocket with his own eyes, his confidence returned.
"Comrade Public Security, I saw it with my own eyes. How could they wrongly accuse an innocent person? She had that little notebook in her coat pocket."
The police officer looked at Shang Ruoting again and said, "Open your shirt pocket and take a look."
Tan Chen on the side was anxious: "Ruoting..."
Shang Ruoting hooked her finger around his big hand, signaling him not to be anxious.
Then, he slowly reached into his shirt pocket and showed the pocket to the two police officers.
The two police officers took a careful look and found that apart from some change, there was the letter of introduction they had just shown them. There was no trace of the small notebook that the tall and thin man had mentioned.
The tall, thin man also saw what was in Shang Ruoting's pocket. He shouted in despair, "That's impossible! I saw her put the stamps in her pocket with my own eyes. Public Security, she must have an inner pocket on her clothes. We must search it thoroughly."
The police were also having a headache at the moment. Since they had stopped the two people, it would be against the rules to let them go without searching them. But how could they search inside a woman's clothes?
Shang Ruoting seemed to see through their thoughts. It was still early before the train, so she was not in a hurry.
"Comrade police officer, I don't want to be wrongly accused, and I'm willing to cooperate with your investigation."
Seeing Shang Ruoting's confident look, Tan Chen inexplicably developed a sense of trust in her.
"Yes, police officer, we are willing to cooperate with your investigation."
As he spoke, his eyes flicked sharply towards the tall, thin man. "And there's this guy, we don't even know him. He stopped us when we were passing by the post office just now and asked if we wanted stamps. We didn't want to get involved in this kind of speculation, so we refused. He must have been holding a grudge against us."
"I hope the public security comrades will not wrongly accuse a good person, nor let a bad person go."
The two police officers looked at each other and both felt that the situation at hand was a bit troublesome.
"In that case, the three of you should come with us to the police station!"
The tall and thin man called the police because he was very angry and wanted to give these two people some trouble. He didn't want to go to the police station.
He has a lot of things going on! It's not certain whether he can come out of there safely.
"Comrade Public Security, I think I recognized the wrong person. The people I saw reselling stamps just now don't seem to be them."
The two police officers were already suspicious of the tall and thin man, and now that he said this, they could tell at a glance that there was something fishy about this man.
"You were so confident just now! No matter what, come with me to the police station!"
After saying that, the two of them pulled the tall and thin man towards the police station, and Tan Chen and Shang Ruoting followed behind consciously.
After turning a corner, several people arrived at the police station in front of the station. Two police officers went inside to find a female police officer and asked her to be responsible for searching Shang Ruoting's body. Tan Chen and the tall and thin man were taken to other rooms by the two.
The stamps were placed in Shang Ruoting's space, and it was impossible for the female police officer to find them, and there was nothing on Tan Chen's place.
Now, the person with the greatest criminal motive among the three has become the tall and thin man. He was not a clean person to begin with, and many things were revealed after he was interrogated by the police at the police station.
