"He scolded me!"
Gu Daqiang continued, "Did they have a grudge against you in the past or is it just now? They won't scold you for no reason."
Gu Gang hesitated, Huo Qianli frowned, "You are now facing huge financial compensation or a prison sentence of less than three years. If you don't tell us the truth, then there is really no way we can help you."
"Because of a woman!" Gu Gang said quickly, "There was a woman, I knew her before, but we lost contact later. Recently, we drank together a few times. The boy seemed to be good friends with that woman, and after he found out, he came to cause trouble, and then we had a quarrel."
Huo Qianli interrupted him, "What is your relationship with that woman?"
Gu Gang shook his head, "It doesn't matter."
"Let's go!" Huo Qianli turned around.
"I'll tell you, I'll tell you!" Gu Gang spoke quickly. He was so frightened by Huo Qianli's words just now that he didn't care about anything else and told the whole situation without hesitation.
Last year, when he was selling Salvia miltiorrhiza, a drug dealer in town was trying to trick him and a woman had a one-night stand with him. Later, Gu Gang became useless and could no longer fit in that circle, so naturally they lost contact.
But Hushan Village received a lot of money this year, and Gu Gang's pockets were fatter. In addition, he was tired of Xu Yanting, so he bought a new cell phone and found a way to hook up with that girl.
The girl was originally a gangster. Although not a promiscuous girl, she was at least relatively open-minded. She heard that Hushan Village had been developing well recently and Gu Gang was shameless, so she simply gave him a chance. Gu Gang naturally wanted it very much. He invited the girl out to play, went out for drinks, and bought her things from time to time. The girl reluctantly let him do what he wanted.
Then he got even closer to that girl, but how could there be only one man around a woman like this? So it became a boring fight of jealousy.
Chen Tianming listened from the side, "You didn't use any illegal means, did you?"
"No, no." Gu Gang waved his hand. "I always give her money, and she is very happy!"
"Oh! You're also suspected of soliciting prostitution!" Chen Tianming turned around and ordered, "Remember it."
Gu Gang: ......
Huo Qianli shook his head. He was truly hopeless. From his character to his IQ, it was speechless.
He pulled Gu Daqiang aside and whispered, "Brother, ask him and his father what they think and how they want to solve it. I will go talk to the victim."
Gu Daqiang said with some concern: "Why don't I go!"
Huo Qianli smiled and said, "Nothing is likely to happen in the police station. It would be easier for me to talk to them first. You take care of this end."
Having agreed to this, he went to the toilet alone.
Then they found Chen Tianming and asked him to take them to meet the victims, who were the village men who were squatting at the door smoking.
Compared to before, there are three more people here, the parents of the injured person, and the village chief of their village.
The village chief came, and Chen Tianming breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the village chief, then pointed at Huo Qianli, "Village Chief Xu, do you know Officer Huo?"
The village chief, who was wearing a leather jacket and had his hair slicked back with mousse, nodded awkwardly.
Of course he knew Huo Qianli, and even when he saw Huo Qianli, his psychological expectations of this matter plummeted.
Chen Tianming said, "Let's talk about this together and see how to solve this problem, okay?"
"There's nothing to discuss. One hundred thousand dollars, not a cent less!"
Before the man in the leather jacket and slicked-back hair could say anything, the mother of the injured man next to him spoke directly.
Huo Qianli and Chen Tianming didn't say anything, just looked at the leather jacket silently.
The man in the leather jacket frowned and looked at the old woman. "Fourth sister-in-law, if you say that, why did you call me here?"
Having said that, he walked out, and the people over there hurried to persuade him.
The chief of each village has his own unique way of governance and prestige.
After arguing with everyone for a few minutes, the man in the leather jacket walked into an office with Chen Tianming and Huo Qianli, along with a man.
After everyone sat down and exchanged a few simple polite words, Huo Qianli said, "Village Chief Xu, no matter from which angle you look at it, we all hope that this matter will stay within the scope of public security and not rise to the level of criminal responsibility, right?"
The man in the leather jacket nodded. A criminal case would not benefit any party. "Officer Huo, tell me how you want to solve this!"
Huo Qianli said calmly: "One hundred thousand yuan is indeed a bit too much. Everyone knows the situation in Hushan Village. If we can't pay the money, it's meaningless to ask for a higher amount."
Leather Jacket thought for a moment and said, "Officer Huo, if you can add our village to the scope of the industrial park, we will handle this matter internally. We don't charge you a penny. You can just take your people away!"
Huo Qianli sneered in his heart and shook his head, saying, "Village Chief Xu, let's keep things separate. Don't mix personal matters with those of the entire village. Besides, this matter was decided by the town, so it's not up to me to decide."
Chen Tianming tried to smooth things over, "To be honest, Lao Xu, forgiveness and reconciliation are just like doing business. Your costs are high, and no matter how much you bid, you still have to make a deal in the end. It's not like you bought the goods for ten yuan and bid a thousand yuan, and the other party offered a hundred yuan, so you feel like you lost nine hundred yuan. You have to think that your costs were only ten yuan."
The man in the leather jacket was silent for a moment, then excused himself and took the man out for another walk. He came back soon and looked at Huo Qianli, "Officer Huo, we are all acquaintances, so we won't be too fussy. This matter depends on the injury. The hospital said that the medical expenses are a lot, plus some nutrition expenses and living expenses. It's not much. Do you think it's worth it?"
