Chapter 112
Just when Boss Song was about to say that it was not necessary to call the police and that a private settlement could be done, two police officers walked in. Their home was in this residential area and both parents in the family were working. They would usually come over to pack up when their family didn't have time to cook. They didn't expect to catch up on something exciting.
"What's going on? Why isn't everyone eating today?"
Seeing them coming, the Su family didn't need to say anything, as the diners around them spontaneously told them what had happened one by one.
The public security comrade looked at the cockroach, then looked at the evasive Song Lao Da and the ruddy and shiny Song Lao Er, and he had a rough idea in his mind, so he said in a deep voice:
"Are you sure you found this cockroach in the food? If I take it for testing and it turns out it wasn't in the food, do you know what crime you've committed?"
Boss Song knew that today's operation was bound to fail, and now he only wanted to get away as soon as possible, so he started to act crazy and stupid.
"Comrade Public Security! We don't know what happened. My brother and I were talking, and then the next moment, the cockroach was on the plate."
The public security officer had seen this kind of person many times and sneered, "Humph! That's not what you just said. Didn't you say you ate a cockroach in your food and want to sue the store for 50,000 yuan?"
"No! Definitely not! I waved my hand to say it's okay, they just misunderstood!"
They acted as if nothing had happened and wanted to leave quickly, but Su Miao didn't want to let them get away like that.
This is the first time I have encountered such a thing today. If I just hold them high and let them go easily, people outside will think that they are easy to bully!
"Uncle, your brother almost rolled on the ground just now. How come he's so energetic all of a sudden? We should check it out. If there's really a problem with our catering, we will definitely be responsible."
As soon as Su Miao finished speaking, Tang Ziyi's voice rang out: "We testify that they put the cockroach in the rice themselves."
Everyone turned around and looked at Tang Ziyi and Zhang Feng, who had been standing behind Su Yu watching the show.
"What nonsense are you talking about! You...you are framing me!" Boss Song shouted anxiously.
"We were eating right across from you guys just now, and we noticed you two were acting suspiciously. You really had no good intentions. When we finished eating, we were taking the plates to put them away, and when we turned around, we saw them throwing cockroaches in."
The appearance of a new witness made the matter more complicated. The police patted Boss Song on the shoulder and said, "You are now suspected of extortion. Come back to the police station with us."
"We really didn't. Didn't I just say my brother is already well? We won't pursue this matter any further. Let's leave it at that!"
Boss Song pulled Boss Song and ran out, but was caught by Tang Ziyi and Jiang Fengyi who were standing at the door. Jiang Fengyi used professional skills and directly turned Boss Song's hands behind his back and pressed the back of his head on the table.
"Uncle Public Security, I would like to request that you search their pockets. Maybe we can find something new." Su Miao said.
So, the remaining cockroach in Song Laoer's pocket was taken out.
"So they came here intentionally to blackmail me!"
"They are so cruel! Judging from their behavior just now, this is definitely not the first time!"
"Oh my! If Su Ji is harmed by them today, where can we find such cheap and delicious meals in the future!"
"Comrades, we must not let them go!"
…
The police wanted to take two people to record their statements. Su Miao was very smart and quickly prepared two servings of pork offal rice. This had already taken up the police's rest time, and they couldn't let them work the case on an empty stomach.
The police uncle took the meal with great satisfaction and handed over two dollars.
Under such public scrutiny, Su Miao didn't offer to waive the bill, otherwise it would be suspected of bribery. However, when she was packing the rice and vegetables, she pushed them in tightly, filling them up completely. She just hoped that the takeaway box wouldn't explode halfway.
As a party involved in the incident, Su Yuanzheng had to go along. Su Miao had to go to class and her father didn't let her go. Su Yu still had to look after the store, so Jiang Fengyi took the initiative to go along.
"Miao Miao, get in the car. We'll take you to school, or you'll be late."
Tang Ziyi and Zhang Feng recorded their statements on the spot and did not need to go to the police station. Seeing that school time was almost up, they took a bike ride to give Su Miao a ride.
Su Miao sat in the back seat of Tang Ziyi's car and asked, "Brother Ziyi, did you really see them release cockroaches just now?"
"Huh? No!" Tang Ziyi answered very frankly.
"Then you just said that again."
"Oh! If those two can make up such nonsense, why can't I? It's easy to stir up trouble!"
“…Amazing!”
When Su Miao came home from school in the evening, he asked his father about the outcome of today's incident.
Su Yuanzheng said, "It's classified as extortion, but it's only attempted extortion, so the punishment won't be too severe. Most likely a fine and a public apology. Fengyi knows the police station leader, so he can keep them in custody for a few more days. But once their families pay bail, they can go."
That's it? This was far from what she expected. It didn't achieve the effect of killing the chicken to scare the monkeys at all.
Su Miao pondered for a moment, then looked up and exchanged glances with Jiang Fengyi, seeing his eight big white teeth showing in his smile, and waved.
"Brother Fengyi, come here~"
…
A month later, the Song brothers' big-character poster was posted on the propaganda board as a typical case.
The Song brothers repeatedly used threats and intimidation to extort money from merchants, involving huge amounts of money, serious circumstances, and a bad social impact.
After trial by the court, the Song brothers were sentenced to three years in prison and ordered to return all their illegal income to the victims of extortion.
At the same time, the owner of a delicatessen in the south of the city was also arrested.
It turned out that when the police were digging deeper into the Song brothers, they found that it was the owner of the delicatessen who spent 80 yuan to hire someone to frame them in an attempt to discredit Su Ji's reputation and steal its business, and the subsequent extortion incident was the personal behavior of the Song brothers.
Since the delicatessen owner was a first-time offender and did not cause any major actual impact, according to regulations he only needed to pay a fine and apologize to Su Ji.
However, because he colluded with the Song brothers and became a typical case, the higher authorities decided to deal with him to the maximum extent possible. He was finally sentenced to three months in prison and ordered to pay 1,000 yuan in compensation for Su Ji's reputation loss.
This case has attracted widespread attention and also reminded people to abide by laws and regulations and not to try to seek benefits through improper means.
This case was not only posted on the bulletin board, but also published in newspapers and on television. After killing the chicken, no one dared to cause trouble for the Su family's business for a long time.
