Chapter 717 Deng Family
When I heard the noise, I knew it must be the old lady from the Deng family coming.
I opened the door and looked out, and sure enough, it was Old Mrs. Deng and her eldest son and daughter-in-law who came with her.
In the hall, old lady Deng was seen with a furious look on her face, followed by Deng Xinrong's elder brother Deng Xinguo and his wife.
The two men followed the old lady on the left and right, looking like the empress dowager leaving the palace.
"Why did you arrest my son? Do you know who he is?" Old Mrs. Deng spoke loudly as she walked towards the crowd. Many people looked at her.
If I hadn't known Deng Xinrong for so many years, based on the old lady's aura, I would really think that Deng Xinrong had some extraordinary secret identity, like the mysterious boss in old novels who gave an order and had 800 bodyguards clear the way.
The policemen around began to whisper, "Hey, Lao Zhang, did the police arrest any big shots today? I haven't heard about it."
"What are you thinking? Big shots are usually dealt with by the Discipline Inspection Commission. How could it be our Criminal Investigation Team's turn?"
The old policeman called Lao Zhang continued to organize the information in his hands without even raising his eyelids, looking as if he was used to it.
However, some people still looked towards the hall curiously.
Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Old Lady Deng raised her head even higher, "My son Deng Xinrong is a man of status!
He's the editor-in-chief of our county's daily newspaper, a serious intellectual. Old Mrs. Deng raised her voice, nearly breaking it. I reached out my fingers to pick at my ears; the sound was too harsh.
As soon as Mrs. Deng said this, there was a burst of laughter from the surroundings. "Oh my God, looking at the old lady's posture, I thought she was the editor-in-chief of the Citizen Daily, but it turns out she is from the County Daily."
Everyone continued to work. Two policemen came out to dissuade her, "Auntie, we don't allow loud noises here. I'll take you to the meeting room inside."
As she tried to help her, Mrs. Deng, like a hedgehog with irritated hair, said angrily, "Don't touch me! I'm old. If something happens to me, can you bear the responsibility?"
The two policemen were frightened by her words and pulled their hands back. They changed direction and tried to pull Deng Xinguo. They were not so friendly to him, and their tone was obviously much colder. "Comrade, if you have something to say, please go inside and talk. Don't cause trouble here."
Mrs. Deng rushed forward and shook off the policeman's hand: "Take your hand away! Don't touch my son."
The police were a little angry, but they couldn't do anything about Old Lady Deng. They were troubled by this family's troubles. Captain Feng stepped forward and tried to reason with them. "Auntie, please don't get excited. We have evidence to arrest people. Your son is suspected of instigating your granddaughter to commit a crime and is currently under investigation. If you have any questions, please wait for the results of the investigation."
"What investigation?" Mrs. Deng refused to listen. She swung her cane, almost hitting Captain Feng's arm. "My son is innocent! Let him go immediately, or I'll file a complaint against you!"
Deng Xinguo echoed, "My brother is an educated man who graduated from a respectable university. How could he do such a thing? Have you been misled? I heard that it was my niece Deng Sisi who committed the crime. You can just arrest her. Why implicate my brother?"
Deng Xinguo's wife, Li Xiuqin, also chimed in sarcastically, "Yeah, that girl Sisi has been spoiled since she was little. She doesn't take us elders seriously at all. She was corrupted by her aunt."
At the end, she added sourly, "Just by staying in someone else's villa for a few days, you really think you're some great rich girl, and you even think they'll give you a share of the family property..."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Deng Xinguo glared at his wife, trying to stop her from continuing. Unlike Old Lady Deng, he smiled apologetically at Captain Feng and said, "Comrade police officer, Deng Sisi is an adult now. Let her take the consequences of her mistakes. Don't implicate my brother."
Captain Feng frowned and said in a serious tone, "Whether Deng Xinrong is involved in the case, we will determine based on the evidence.
As for Deng Sisi, she was indeed suspected of intentional injury, but her confession mentioned that Deng Xinrong had instigated the crime, so we investigated him according to the law.
Please cooperate with our work and do not interfere with law enforcement."
At this time, Li Xiuqin's eyes were rolling. She quietly pulled her husband's sleeve and winked at him. Deng Xinguo frowned and hesitated before saying to Mrs. Deng, "Mom, please sit with the police for a while. I'll go out and make some calls and try to find some connections to see if I can get Xinrong out."
"Oh, okay, then you go quickly. I'm also tired after half a day." It seems that Deng Xinrong is really the old lady's favorite. As long as it is good for him, old lady Deng will support him unconditionally and will not insist on making a scene in the hall.
I watched Deng Xinguo and Li Xiuqin walk out of the hall, go around to the east side of the building, and stand under the window talking. That location happened to be outside the window of another lounge.
The windows of the police station are all one-way transparent glass. You can see clearly from the inside, but you can't see inside from the outside. I saw them stop outside a window, so I leaned over to listen to what they were saying.
When Xiaoyan saw my action, she immediately understood and stood at the door to keep watch for me.
Li Xiuqin lowered her voice, her tone calculating, "Dad, if his uncle really did commit a crime this time, we should just ignore it. In my opinion, he should be given a more serious sentence."
This surprised me greatly. Did the uncle and his wife have a grudge against each other? I quickly put my ear closer.
Deng Xinguo looked at his wife in disbelief. "What do you mean? Are you hoping Xinrong will go to jail? Is there any sister-in-law like you? I thought you had come up with some solution."
As he turned around and was about to leave, Li Xiuqin grabbed him and said, "Why are you so anxious? I'm your wife, how can I harm you? Just listen to what I have to say."
Deng Xinguo didn't break free immediately and said angrily, "Then tell me quickly. What good ideas can a woman like me have?"
Li Xiuqin rolled her eyes at him and said, "Our Wen Yan is already so old, and he's been on so many blind dates, but when the girls heard that he didn't have a house, they wouldn't even meet him.
If Xinrong's house could be vacated, wouldn't Wenyan's marriage be possible?
I was thinking, if Xinrong goes to jail for a few years, wouldn’t his house be free? Wenyan can use his house to get married.”
Deng Xinguo hesitated, "But Xinrong is my brother. If he goes to jail, it will be embarrassing for our family.
Besides, he is the most promising one in our family. If something really happens to him, what will the neighbors think of us?
Besides, he is in there, not dead, he will have to come out sooner or later."
Li Xiuqin poked his forehead with her finger and said, "Are you stupid? If he could stay in there for even just two or three years, by the time he comes out, our Wen Yan would have been married and would have grandchildren!
The house will still be his by then, and we are not taking advantage of him, we are just borrowing it for use.
Besides, if his young widow really gives birth to the child, will the house still belong to our family? "
