Chapter 429 You can't escape!
Xiao Liu's father's eyes flickered when she looked at him like that. He was about to speak, but Gu Yin didn't give him a chance to continue spewing nonsense. Instead, she looked at the three officers who were frowning.
"Political Commissar Yu, did you call us here just to let the other side bully us? Are you trying to force us to compromise and settle things peacefully?"
Political Commissar Yu's expression was also very unpleasant. Although he really didn't want things to escalate, after all, these were students from Qingda University. If things got out of hand, wouldn't the whole country know? If Qingda students had an accident during military training and outsiders came to cause trouble, how could their camp maintain its reputation? Wouldn't they all be accused of dereliction of duty? Would they even want to keep their reputations intact?
Political Commissar Yu quickly tried to calm him down: "Young man, calm down. That's not what we meant. And you, fellow villager, we called you here to resolve the issue. Your son made a mistake, and instead of apologizing, you're hurling insults?! What kind of logic is that?! If you continue like this, we won't interfere anymore. We'll just call the police and go through the proper procedures. What do you think?"
Xiao Liu's father sat down with a resentful look on his face and stopped talking.
Seeing that he had calmed down, Political Commissar Yu turned to Yu Lulu and said with a smile, "Xiao Liu made a mistake. We're here to solve problems, not to create them. We've considered the method Yu Lulu mentioned, even immediately, but think about it. If this gets out of hand, you'll be the one who suffers. Xiao Liu isn't mentally sound; his IQ is equivalent to a three-year-old. As the village chief said, even if you were in trouble, the police wouldn't be able to handle it. Xiao Liu won't be criminally liable; at most, his family or guardian will have to keep a close watch on him and provide medical care. So, after discussing it, we suggest you pay compensation. Then, you can say it was a misunderstanding, which won't affect you much, right? Besides, our camp also made a mistake. We were negligent in our management and supervision, and we apologize for the harm caused to you. So, we'll give you full marks for the two credits after the military training assessment. We can also give you a certificate for outstanding student in the military training performance. This will be helpful for your future elections as a class leader or student council member. What do you think?"
Yu Lulu was at a loss for what to do, so she looked at Gu Yin.
Gu Yin pursed her lips. This was indeed the best way to handle it, because according to the criminal law: if a mentally ill person commits a crime, the punishment should be based on their mental state at the time of the crime; if they cannot recognize their own actions at the time of the crime, they will not bear criminal responsibility. If a mentally ill person causes harmful consequences when they cannot recognize or control their own behavior, and this is confirmed through legal procedures, they will not bear criminal responsibility, but their family members or guardians should be ordered to strictly supervise and provide medical care.①
Xiao Liu goes to the hospital for check-ups every year and is still taking medication. It is a fact that he has a mental illness. Whether he knew about his actions at the time or not, he will not be punished or go to jail.
Gu Yin looked at the dazed Xiao Liu across from her. Sensing Gu Yin's gaze, Xiao Liu looked over, then grinned and said with a grin, "Wife! Beautiful wife!"
Li Sheng frowned and said with dissatisfaction, "Commissar Yu, I think that no matter what the outcome is, calling the police is necessary. My students don't want any so-called compensation; they just want fairness! They just want justice! As for whether Xiao Liu is sick or not, whether he is lucid or stupid, we all know. If he continues to pretend to be stupid, then let the legal procedures confirm it! You don't need to reason with my students too much. After all, they are still young. If you scare them like this, they won't know what to say."
The female officer beside him nodded: "I agree with Commander Li's point of view. Look at him, it's obvious his family has been nagging him to find a wife. A man like him is not qualified to marry. Even if both parties agree, it won't be legally recognized. Since everyone knows that you need medicine and treatment when you're sick, how could they not know this? Since they know this, why did they still entice him to do something illegal? Isn't it just to exploit legal loopholes? Even if it wasn't because of the female students from military training, it could have been girls from the village or the streets. He would still commit a crime! Disgusting and vicious! We all know what his parents are thinking! Lao Yu, have you been in this position for too long? Have you become too rigid? A mistake is a mistake! Even if we are ridiculed and punished, so what? We deserve it! I support calling the police!"
The male officer next to Political Commissar Yu nodded in agreement: "That's right! I agree!"
Xiao Liu's parents panicked upon hearing this and immediately knelt down before Political Commissar Yu and his men: "No! This is our only son! We raised him with great difficulty! He even went up the mountain to check on the fruit trees in the pouring rain to help the village get out of poverty and become prosperous, and that's how he injured his head! He's never done anything wrong all these years! We really didn't know he would do such a thing! We're at fault! Please don't lock him up! He's our only son! Please, sir!"
Political Commissar Yu and the others quickly helped the two up.
The female officer frowned: "This isn't something you can decide, nor is it something we can decide; it's something the law decides! Your kneeling won't help!"
"Alright! Say less!" Political Commissar Yu said, dissatisfied.
Then he looked at Yu Lulu and asked, "Classmate, what are you thinking?"
Gu Yin looked quietly at Political Commissar Yu: "Political Commissar, what should we do? It's not up to us to decide. Even if we forgive him, even if we classmates settle it privately, it still won't work?"
Political Commissar Yu looked at Gu Yin, who was clearly the representative among them. He took a deep breath and asked, "Why not?"
Gu Yin smiled and said, "Because we are all minors! How can such a big thing happen without parents or guardians?"
Commissar Yu's expression changed. He had indeed forgotten about this matter, assuming that all college students were over 18 years old. He hadn't expected that these people were all under 18!
"You don't need to ask for our opinions, you don't need to morally blackmail us, and you don't need to use academic credits to suppress us. Let's wait for our parents to come before we talk about anything!" Gu Yin said, then took out her phone, made a call, and handed the phone to Yu Lulu.
Yu Lulu reluctantly accepted the gift: "My home is so far away, my parents probably can't come."
Gu Yin smiled and said, "It's okay. You can make a call first and tell them what happened here. Then ask them to transfer the authority to handle the matter to my family. After my family and lawyer arrive, you can let them take the call."
Yu Lulu's eyes lit up, and she took the phone to call the village. She spoke in dialect, which the others in the room couldn't understand. Xiang Xingmang and the others also made calls. Commissar Yu wanted to stop them but couldn't, as Li Sheng and the others were watching nearby!
The village chief and Xiao Liu's father became anxious upon seeing this. They could handle the children, but if the adults came, the matter would definitely have to go through legal procedures!
Xiao Liu was still smiling foolishly, but Gu Yin could see the nervousness in his eyes.
Seeing him look over, Gu Yin opened her mouth, but silently said, "You can't escape!"
Xiao Liu's pupils contracted! Li Sheng had relayed the woman's message that morning. Thinking of her kick, he originally didn't want to pretend to be stupid and ignore it, but with a bit of wishful thinking, he chose another option.
Xiao Liu trembled at the thought of that kick. His ribs were still aching, but he couldn’t tell anyone. He could only let his family find out on their own. As a result, his parents still hadn’t realized he was injured!
What did she mean by those words? Did she want to kill him? Or what? Xiao Liu's mind raced as he kept guessing.
After making the call, Gu Yin and the other four stopped talking. No matter how Political Commissar Yu tried to persuade them, they remained silent, fiddling with their fingers with their heads down. Li Sheng was also happy to sit there and pretend to be stupid.
