Everyone was about to leave the park, but when someone called them, they turned back and looked back.
I saw a middle-aged man about 1.75 meters tall walking towards this side with a little boy about ten years old. The child was covering his hand, as if he was injured.
"What's the matter?" Bai Song asked.
"Who of you gave my son firecrackers just now? I brought him to see his uncle. I was afraid he would play with firecrackers, so I didn't even give him a penny. You actually gave him firecrackers!" The man showed the child's hand: "Look, his hand is broken. You just left like that?"
"Ah?" Liu Shuyuan was also startled. He hurried forward and checked the child's hand. He found that it was indeed hit by the fall. Not only was the skin broken, but it was also black. He muttered, "This shouldn't happen to a child this old..."
In theory, it is okay for children over six years old to play with firecrackers. A naughty boy like Bai Song dared to play with it when he was only three or four years old. For Bai Song, the only problem was that he couldn't afford to buy many when he was young.
"What!" The man suddenly raised his voice: "He is so young, who asked you to provide him with firecrackers!"
"Let's go, take him to the hospital, I'll pay for the medical expenses." Liu Shuyuan said this, feeling a little sorry for the child.
"It's New Year's Day. Going to the hospital on the first day of the New Year? What bad luck! He was bleeding on the first day of the New Year. All his luck for the whole year is gone. You...you have to pay me!" the man shouted.
"Then tell me, how much compensation should we give?" Liu Shuyuan rubbed his fingers and smiled slightly.
"Ten thousand." The man saw that Liu Shuyuan was young, seemed to be a rich man, and most importantly, was from another place, so he said this.
"Oh, ten thousand." Liu Shuyuan nodded and looked at Bai Song: "Captain Bai, extortion of ten thousand is enough to prosecute, right?"
"That's enough." Bai Song nodded calmly.
"Oh, that's fine." Liu Shuyuan looked at the man and said, "Come on, follow me to the bank. If you scare me again, I will give you money, 10,000 yuan, not a penny less."
"You! Who are you?" The man was a little surprised. "I'm not trying to scare you. I just want compensation for my son."
"Ten thousand? I don't have that kind of money on hand. Let's go to the bank and I'll give it to you." Liu Shuyuan said.
"How much money do you have on you?" The man looked around.
Liu Shuyuan searched his pockets and said, "I don't have a dime."
"Then how did you buy the firecrackers just now?"
"It's just finished." Liu Shuyuan looked calm.
"You!" the man said, "Just wait, I'll call the police."
"good."
The man was furious and called the police directly.
Bai Song thought it was quite interesting. He hadn't dealt with the police from the police station for a long time...
Not long after, a policeman came with an auxiliary policeman, asked about the situation, and started to work on Liu Shuyuan, saying that the four of them should pool a few hundred yuan to show their appreciation, as it is not easy for anyone during the New Year.
Liu Shuyuan didn't care about that and said he didn't have a penny.
The police asked the other three people to raise some money for Liu Shuyuan, but Bai Song and others said they had no money.
This left the police speechless, because the police station could not do anything about Liu Shuyuan's behavior!
It was indeed inappropriate for Liu Shuyuan to give firecrackers to a 10-year-old child, but these were of low power and were written as suitable for children over 8 years old. If this happened in the countryside of his hometown, the parents would not care if the child was fine, but this man was hypocritical, so everyone just accompanied him, anyway, there was nothing to do at noon.
Even if Liu Shuyuan's behavior was wrong, this was not a public security issue, but a civil issue. The child's father actually wanted a little compensation, or a few hundred yuan for nutrition, which Liu Shuyuan didn't care about. But since that was the case, he would just wait and see.
Especially Liu Shuyuan, he had eaten pig intestines in the morning, but he couldn’t digest them very well and didn’t feel hungry at all.
The man was a little anxious. He was in a hurry to go to his brother's house for lunch...
After wasting half an hour, the man had no choice but to run away angrily with his child.
…
"You four brothers are really something. It seems you are from a big city, right? With his condition, couldn't you just give him 200 and solve the problem? Why did you spend so much time trying?" the policeman said casually.
"Before you came, he asked me for 10,000 yuan." Liu Shuyuan said, "He changed his mind after you came."
"Ten thousand!" The police nodded: "Then why didn't you tell me just now?"
"There's no point in saying it. It doesn't really constitute extortion." Bai Song shook his head.
"The young man is quite knowledgeable." The police nodded: "Okay, let's go, Happy New Year. It's New Year's Day, and this guy is so boring."
"Happy New Year! Take care." Bai Song smiled and watched the two policemen leave.
From beginning to end, the four did not reveal their identities.
"Let's go back and eat. We have a meeting this afternoon." Wang Huadong's stomach began to protest: "We wasted more than half an hour..."
Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and there is nowhere else to go except the cafeteria.
"Don't waste it," Bai Song said, "What happened just now actually taught us a truth."
"Are you saying that I should be more cautious in the future?" Liu Shuyuan seemed to be thinking about something.
"He's telling you not to do good things all the time and be a nicety. You just set off all the firecrackers yourself. It would be troublesome to share them with others," said Wang Huadong.
"Neither," Bai Song shook his head. "This kind of thing was completely beyond our expectations. The man looked smart, but he was really stupid. This incident taught me a lesson, which is not to underestimate your opponent, but also not to underestimate the stupidity of some people."
"So?" Huadong felt that Bai Song was hinting at something.
"So, I suddenly feel that many of the things that the 'leader' did were actually stupid. He let these believers die, but there must be clues. Moreover, is it possible that he adheres to the principle that 'the most dangerous place is the safest place'?" Bai Song asked.
"You mean, he is in Linyang City?" Sun Jie thought.
"Look," Bai Song took out the map on his phone, "Yesterday's murder case and the three suicides were not far from Linyang City, and none of them had any cash. So there is a real possibility that he is hiding in Linyang City, and he has at least hundreds of thousands of cash in his hands."
"Playing the 'darkness under the lamp' route?" Liu Shuyuan seemed to be thinking: "So, based on what he did before, I feel that he does have certain internal information channels, only in this way can he dare to play the dark side under the lamp. It is possible that some internal personnel have been brainwashed by him. Not necessarily the police, but most likely the cleaning staff or something."
"Huh?" Bai Song grabbed Liu Shuyuan's shoulders.
"What's wrong?" Liu Shuyuan was shocked. Could it be that when he touched Bai Song's abdominal muscles this morning, Bai Song...
"These days, the only people in the Public Security Bureau who know most about our arrival and have always been aware of our movements are the chefs in the cafeteria!" Bai Song seemed extremely excited.
