Because we had four days off for May Day, May 3rd and 4th were Friday and Saturday, so we went to work as usual. We had a day off on the 5th, and then it was a new week again.
On May 11, a new Saturday, Baisong's financial situation finally improved.
During this period of time, he went to more than a dozen banks to exchange money, mainly to ask bank staff if they had seen the moldy money, and the answer he got was that they had.
As banks are a collection point for damaged currency, they often encounter damaged coins, moldy coins and burnt coins, so most banks have encountered similar situations to some extent.
But Bai Song talked about it for a while, and basically encountered the situation of someone's own money left at home for a long time and moldy, which seemed to be different from the source of his moldy money. The more he ran, the less good clues he found.
After receiving his salary yesterday, Bai Song used the money he had on hand to ask a friend to bring him an imported razor as a gift for Wang Huadong tonight.
In the evening, a few good friends got together again. This time they found a private room for hotpot so they could chat more freely.
A razor cost Bai Song a month's salary.
Although the value of an item sometimes does not need to be pursued in such detail, Bai Song still cares about this.
"What's the point of you giving me a gift?" Wang Huadong was puzzled. "Last week, it was your birthday, and I was thinking of giving you a gift. Why did you give me a gift?"
"Just take it if I give it to you. Why are you wasting time talking?" Bai Song threw it directly to Wang Huadong, thus settling the matter in his mind.
"Okay then, I just happened to give you a birthday present." Wang Huadong knew that Bai Song wanted to give him the gift, so he had no choice but to accept it. He then handed Bai Song a box.
"What is this?" Bai Song said while looking at the box in confusion.
"Open it and see if it fits."
"What? Clothes?"
In fact, we brothers have never had the habit of sending each other birthday gifts. Sometimes when someone’s birthday comes, we just have a meal together. If we know what someone likes recently, sometimes someone will buy it for the other person, but we don’t deliberately remember it.
Buying clothes is definitely not something that would happen among brothers, so Bai Song opened the box half-believingly.
It was all in English. After taking a look, Bai Song knew what it was.
Cut-resistant T-shirt for light wear.
This is a new material that has only appeared in recent years. The specific composition of white pine is unknown, but this piece of clothing is definitely more expensive than that razor. This kind of clothing is not much different from an ordinary T-shirt. It is still breathable and washable, but a little harder, but it can prevent cutting and stabbing by various common knives. Of course, it is not bulletproof.
What else can I say?
Bai Song could only take it, then picked up the wine glass, clinked glasses with everyone, and drank it all in one gulp.
"Bai Song, how do you solve this car problem?" Wang Liang asked.
"It can only be done this way. Although my commute to work is quite far these days, I don't need a car and I don't have any demand for it." Bai Song flexed his muscles: "I've been exercising every day recently. Very nice!"
"That's not a big deal." Wang Liang took a bite of meat and said, "Tian Huan's lawyer has come to our detachment several times recently, wanting to talk to you about reconciliation."
"Reconciliation?" Bai Song didn't understand what it meant: "What does reconciliation mean?"
"Don't you know what reconciliation means?" Sun Jie filled Bai Song's glass with wine. "Your brain has been out of practice lately."
"Oh, reconciliation." Bai Song thought about it, "Then I definitely can't agree to it. And what's the point of reconciling with me about this matter? Don't you have to go find Zhou Xuan? Zhou Xuan is the victim, right?"
"It's different. His lawyer is not stupid. He must want to deal with you." Wang Huadong said, "If we deal with you, everything will be easy for Zhou Xuan."
"Whether for me, Zhou Xuan, or everyone else, it's impossible for me to reconcile." Bai Song shook his head.
Reconciliation is not mediation in public security cases, but a form of forgiveness in criminal cases.
Generally speaking, obtaining the forgiveness of the victim is indeed an effective way to reduce the sentence. Reconciliation is a win-win situation. For the defendant, the sentence can be reduced, and for the victim or his family, compensation can be obtained. For the public security, procuratorial and judicial organs, it is actually a good thing overall. After all, it is also a measure to ease social conflicts.
However, reconciliation does not necessarily affect sentencing. For example, a person is extremely vicious and kills seven people in a very cruel way. He spends 700 million yuan to convince the families of the seven people and then they reconcile. It is useless. He will still be shot if he deserves to be shot.
But if Tian Huan reconciles with Bai Song, there is indeed a chance to reduce his sentence.
"As for this matter, the detachment said that you should consider it yourself. After all, if you want to settle, you know the other party's situation. It's not a problem to give you 800,000 yuan, as long as you ask. He may be sentenced to a few years less, but it will not affect other issues of the case." Sun Jie told Bai Song: "No one will make a decision for you in this matter."
"Don't think about it." Bai Song shook his head. This is not a matter of money, but an attitude issue: "It is impossible to reconcile. Even if his sentence is not reduced by a single day after the settlement, I will not reconcile. Everyone has been busy with this matter for so long, and the case has not been solved yet. If I reconcile here, I will not be Bai Song. There is no need to mention this matter again. I will wait for the court to go to court in a few months to file a civil lawsuit and get my car money and medical expenses back. I will sentence him as he should."
"Okay. You decide for yourself."
Everyone had actually guessed Bai Song's answer, but it is not something that ordinary people can do to refuse so much money just for the sake of attitude.
"Is there any new progress in the case now?" Bai Song continued to talk about this matter with everyone.
"There is some minor progress, which is that the case has been broken down into more details, and everything that needs to be dealt with has been dealt with." Wang Liang said, "But there really isn't the kind of progress you want to ask about. Tian Huan has done something really extreme."
"I have been thinking about a question these days. See if you can use it as a clue to solve the case."
"Hmm?" The three of them took Bai Song's next words very seriously and sat up straight.
"It's obvious that Tian Huan came out to resist the thunder because the operation failed, and resisting the thunder is the best solution. But this is definitely not the original plan. The original plan was to successfully get rid of me," Bai Song analyzed, and then asked: "And once this is successful, what do you think Feng Yiling will do to cut off the clues to the future?"
