A passerby called the police, and the officers arrived quickly. They took the three people involved to the police station to give their statements. The boy and girl gave consistent statements, saying that the drunk man had tried to harass the girl on the street.
After the drunk man was sobered up by the police, he was allowed to give a statement. He was very arrogant and didn't bother to answer any of the police's questions. Instead, he shouted that he was the driver of a high-ranking official in Beijing.
The driver was acting so arrogantly, which was outrageous. He was immediately reprimanded by the police and told to behave himself and explain the situation clearly. At first, the driver was very arrogant, but after being intimidated by the experienced policeman, he finally became much more obedient.
No matter how much he said, he kept emphasizing one point: he really was the driver of a deputy... high-ranking official from Beijing.
Looking across the country, there is no one who doesn't know the deputy... She often appears on television news to speak, and when any dangerous situation occurs in a certain place, she is always the first to rush to the scene to guide the work and comfort the people.
People in B City especially know the deputy... because she was originally from B City. No matter how high her official rank was, she was someone who came from B City.
"You said the deputy... has been in B City these past few days?" The experienced old policeman looked suspicious, suspecting that the man was making up a lie to get himself out of trouble.
These days, there are plenty of daring people. Last time, we caught one who claimed to be Qin Shi Huang, saying he had taken an elixir of immortality and hadn't died. He lied and said that if we gave him 8,000 yuan, he could get the key to open the underground palace treasure and even awaken the terracotta warriors.
As for the benefactor who gave him eight thousand dollars, he should naturally be treated with great courtesy and directly appointed as prime minister.
Despite the absurdity and unbelievability of this scam, quite a few people still fall for it. I don't know if it's because there are too many lazy people these days who dream of getting rich all the time, or if the scammers' schemes are just too tempting.
Seeing that the police didn't believe him, the driver became anxious and patted his chest to assure them, "It's true, everything I'm saying is true. Ever since I started driving for the deputy... she has returned to B City every year around this time."
Seeing that the police ignored him and clearly still didn't believe him, he became even more anxious, "Let me tell you, if you let me go now, I will definitely promote you when I become an official."
The police officer was completely enraged. He slammed his fist on the table and roared at the driver, "Shut up! This is a police station, not your scam center. I am not your target group. Now, you'd better tell me the truth."
"I confess?" The driver reached out and pointed incredulously at his nose. "I'm telling the truth. What do you want me to confess? Let me tell you, it really won't be long before I become an official."
The policeman slammed his fist on the table again, his voice sharp and menacing: "You better behave yourself!"
The driver was young and a bit flamboyant, but he couldn't handle being scared. After being repeatedly yelled at by the police, who slammed their fists on the table, his mental defenses completely collapsed.
He said with a sob in his voice, "This is what happened. I overheard a secret from my deputy son-in-law. No, it should be a very big secret. I think that as long as I tell this secret to my deputy son-in-law, she will reward me with an official position. I'm telling the truth."
The old policeman slammed his hand on the table again. "What secret?"
The driver didn't want to talk, but he had no choice. He was too weak to be scared, so he told everything.
And so, the news that Xu Xiusen had a mistress who secretly gave birth to his child, and that he had only just found out and had just gone for a paternity test last night, reached Xu Moran's ears.
Xu Moran was a little surprised. Was Xu Xiusen really that kind of person?
For some reason, something flashed through Xu Moran's mind. She tried to grasp it, but it was too fast and passed by in an instant, and she didn't have time to react.
One reason is due to her professional nature as a police officer; even if she sees or hears something with her own eyes and ears, she will never easily believe it.
Xiao Zhao noticed that Xu Moran was distracted and asked her, "Officer Xu, were you listening to me just now?"
Xu Moran snapped out of her daze and nodded to Officer Zhao. "I heard it, and I just think it's so melodramatic, like something out of a TV drama."
Xiao Zhao chimed in, "Yeah, I think it's so melodramatic too. Officer Xu, have you ever heard of Xu Xiusen?"
Instead of answering, Xu Moran asked, "What's wrong?"
Xiao Zhao looked around to make sure no one else was on the track before saying to Xu Moran, "Officer Xu, I met Xu Xiusen last year when he was arrested for prostitution. I took his statement. Officer Xu, although I haven't been a police officer for long, I've dealt with quite a few criminals. I've never seen anyone with such a strong mentality as Xu Xiusen. He not only easily evaded every question but also threw the questions back at us. He's really amazing. During the break, I heard from my seniors that he was originally a very promising high-ranking official, but because of an agreement with his high-ranking mother-in-law, he willingly became a low-ranking official in B City. Later, the interrogation of him didn't continue, and I don't know what happened to him. I didn't expect that he not only didn't get away with it last time but was promoted instead. In my short-sighted opinion, putting aside his high-ranking mother-in-law, he himself is definitely a master."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Xu Moran and saw that she was lost in thought again. He shrank back and didn't continue.
How can a male police officer be so gossipy? He must correct this behavior in the future.
Xu Moran was thinking about something. Xiao Zhao's words reminded her of the anniversary of Xu Xiusen's biological daughter's death. Judging from what he had told her before, his wife's death anniversary should also be around these days.
At that time, Xu Xiusen was already in prison, so there was no need for him to lie to a young police officer he had just met. In other words, the anniversary of Xu Xiusen's wife's death was in the next few days.
