Chapter 121 The fact of harassment is established
Xiangyang Road Branch.
At around 11:30, several people finished taking notes.
Because of the surveillance video and the testimony of the store owner, the course of events was relatively clear, and it was useless for the other party to deny it.
But it is also true that the other party was seriously injured. The bald man's forehead was bleeding profusely, and he was immediately accompanied by the police officer on duty to the emergency room for stitches and examination. The other two people also had obvious scars and bruises on their bodies. If the other party insists on this point, this incident cannot be simply considered harassment.
The police officers on duty at night were all newcomers who lacked experience in handling cases. They communicated with each other but could not come to any conclusion. As it was almost dawn, Gu Lianxing almost fell asleep leaning on Shen Ci's shoulder.
"Comrade police, have you reached an agreement? How are we going to punish them? We brothers are all seriously injured, you must punish them severely!"
Seeing that the waiting time was getting longer and longer, one of the men could no longer sit still and started shouting loudly.
The dark and thin police officer's expression froze when he saw this, and he shouted sternly, "Shut up and wait patiently!"
"We've been waiting for almost two hours and we're in a hurry to get home. Our wife and children are waiting for us at home."
"You still realize you have a wife and kids? You have a wife and kids, and you're harassing a girl on the street? Do you have any shame?"
"How could that be considered harassment? I just said a few words and I didn't even touch anyone before I was beaten like this. You can't intentionally favor them just because they are pretty!"
At this moment, someone walked quickly into the police station from outside. The man was about 1.8 meters tall and wore black casual pants and a white short-sleeved shirt without any pattern.
He glanced calmly and sharply at the two groups of people sitting in the waiting room and said calmly, "It's quite lively."
Everyone subconsciously looked up. The man had a handsome appearance. Just a few steps from the door could not conceal his natural righteousness. His eyes were as deep as an eagle's. Just a casual glance from him made the man who was chattering a second ago instinctively fall silent.
"Team Tang!"
The dark and thin police officer rushed over to meet the man and said apologetically, "I'm sorry for bothering you so late at night."
Tang Song had actually seen the situation clearly with just a casual glance, but to be honest, he couldn't figure out the causal relationship between the three unharmed girls and the two men covered in injuries.
"What's going on?" Tang Song asked.
"Three men tried to harass three girls at a barbecue restaurant but failed. One of the girls injured them. One of the men, who had a bald head, was seriously injured. Xiao Liu accompanied him to the emergency room of the Second Hospital next door for stitches."
When the man who had just spoken heard this, he couldn't help but emphasize again: "I said that it wasn't harassment, it was just flirting at best. I didn't even touch anyone before I was beaten like this."
Tang Song turned to look over. The man was so frightened that he quickly shut up. Then he heard Tang Song's voice, although light but full of pressure, say, "As long as a girl feels harassed, it is considered harassment. Who told you that it doesn't count as harassment if you don't touch her? Verbal harassment is also harassment!"
The man shrank his neck when he heard this, not daring to refute a word.
Chen Ci and the others looked at the police captain who suddenly appeared in front of them without saying a word, but they couldn't help but have their own thoughts in their hearts.
Gu Lianxing's eyelids were drooping with sleepiness. He just wanted to quickly resolve the matter and leave here, even if it meant paying some money.
Pili leaned back in his chair with his arms folded across his chest, looking calm. After all, Chen Ci said that as long as he wasn't killed, it was fine. Besides, she always used restraint in her attacks. Except for the one on the bald man's head that was a bit too heavy, there were no other major problems. The injuries were determined to be minor at most. If they were not minor injuries, he would be exempt from criminal punishment. Pili knew all about this.
Only Chen Ci was lost in thought at this moment, as if he had forgotten that he was still in the police station. He just stared at Tang Song's face.
This man cannot be described as "handsome", but rather "handsome".
In a sense, "handsome" is not only used to describe appearance, but more of a temperament.
"You said there was a bald guy?"
Tang Song grasped the important information from the young policeman's statement and asked, "Is his name Chen Liye?"
The young police officer was shocked when he heard this: "Captain Tang, how did you know that?"
Tang Song sneered, "This man has been imprisoned for the third time. He has a history of harassing women. This time he commits the same offense again, the punishment will be increased. Tell Xiao Li to treat his wounds and bring him back to me!"
"Okay. Then they..."
Tang Song flipped through the transcript and the shop owner's testimony, and after a while, he said, "The man's harassment is established. According to the Public Security Administration Punishment Law, each of them will be fined 20 cents and detained for 15 days. Chen Liye's punishment will be increased. After detention, he will be transferred to the procuratorate to investigate any subsequent responsibilities."
He closed the transcript and tossed it to the police officer. "From now on, if we don't know how to determine this kind of thing, we'll use causation as the basis. The party that triggers the incident bears the primary consequences. The 'cause' of harassment is always the man."
The young policeman blinked and hesitated before speaking: "But they were beaten like this..."
Tang Song looked at the two men with bruises all over their faces, his expression devoid of any sympathy. "Given the natural strength gap between men and women, if a woman doesn't fight and defend herself with all her might when threatened, she'll most likely suffer."
"When doing everything in our power to protect ourselves and our companions from harm, there's no time or ability to define the scope and scale of excessive self-defense. In this case, minor injuries are the cutoff point. Anything less than that is considered legitimate self-defense!"
Pili listened to every word Tang Song said, and she raised the corners of her mouth slightly, almost imperceptibly.
The young policeman understood and nodded repeatedly: "I understand, Captain Tang."
Soon, the police on duty came and escorted the two men away. Naturally, they were dissatisfied and cried out for injustice while saying that they would go to court to sue Chen Ci and others for intentional injury.
However, Chen Ci and the others were very calm, without any sense of nervousness about the female college student coming to the police station.
Tang Song walked up to the few people and his eyes fell straight on Shen Ci's face. Due to the special nature of his job, he has always been naturally sensitive. This little girl has been staring at him since he came in, and he has always noticed it.
"Which school are you from?" Tang Song asked.
Shen Ci said softly: “Longcheng University of Science and Technology.”
Tang Song nodded. "Since you're a college student, you're an adult and have the ability to take on social and legal responsibilities on your own. We won't notify your school. Next time you encounter something like this, remember to call the police first. Don't act impulsively just because you know a few fists. What if the other party has a weapon?"
"You will each pay a five-cent fine, sign the document, and then you can leave."
Upon hearing this, Shen Ci subconsciously asked: "Didn't they say we were acting in self-defense? Why are we still being fined?"
Tang Song looked at her and snorted, "You really think you can get away with beating someone up like that? If you don't pay the fine, they'll keep pestering you. It'll be very troublesome later!"
"Is everything alright if I hand it in?"
Tang Song looked at Chen Ci for a moment and nodded gently: "Hand it over and I'll deal with it later!"
