Ran Jinnian didn't care about the pack of cigarettes; she had plenty in her spatial storage. "Big brother, can you think about this carefully? How long did they fight? Did they say anything to beg for mercy?"
Li Hongjun frowned: "This..."
Ran Jinnian stuffed another pack of cigarettes into her hand.
Li Hongjun never expected this girl to be so generous. He felt obligated to help her.
He tried hard to recall what he had seen that night: "The two of them just fought a few times."
"Big brother, you said they only hit each other a few times?" Ran Jinnian's eyes lit up.
Seeing her disbelief, Li Hongjun said, "When I came out to see what was going on, I saw someone hit the other person. Then the other person was unsteady on his feet, clearly drunk. He said something, and the other person hit him twice more, and then the drunk guy ran away."
"Brother, have you told the police this?"
This is crucial information.
"Hey girl, you don't want me to be a witness, do you?" Li Hongjun didn't say anything, after all, it wasn't his family's business.
He wasn't stupid. Now that he saw Ran Jinnian asking around for information and being so generous, he knew what she was up to.
"Brother, it would be great if you could testify."
Ran Jin came here to find a witness.
"Girl, I've said everything I needed to say. Let's drop the matter of me testifying." Li Hongjun didn't want to cause any trouble.
He only said those things because of the two packs of cigarettes; otherwise, he wouldn't have said anything.
Ran Jinnian blinked: "Big brother, it's too late."
Li Hongjun?
Lu Jinyuan took out his military officer's ID: "This is my ID. I heard everything you just said."
Li Hongjun's eyes widened.
He quickly changed his tune: "Leader, no, Commander, I'll testify, I'll testify."
Next, Ran Jinnian and Lu Jinyuan visited a few more companies.
While everyone's accounts differ, they all prove that Ran Siyuan did not seriously injure Song Zehan.
Ran Jinnian led everyone to the Public Security Bureau.
The police, seeing she was with several people, asked, "Who's this?"
“Officer, these people are all residents of Sanqing Lane. They can testify that my brother did not injure Song Zehan.”
The police glanced at the group of people; they had taken statements from them before.
Everyone said they heard some noise, but they didn't know anything else. Why have they changed their story now?
Although the police wanted to give Lu Jinyuan some face, they wouldn't allow anyone to give false testimony.
"Why didn't you explain things clearly back then? Why are you asking me to testify now?" the police officer said sternly.
“Officer, we didn’t know what happened at the time. We thought it was a bad guy doing something bad, and we were afraid of saying something we shouldn’t have and being retaliated against. Today, after hearing what this girl said, we realized it was just a quarrel and a fight. Her brother didn’t seriously injure the other person, so we can’t wrongly accuse him.”
Li Hongjun's statement is perfectly correct.
When the police came to investigate, they didn't say much; they just asked simple questions.
"Please sign here."
The police took out the written record and asked them to sign it.
"Officer, I can't read, and I can't write my own name." Li Hongjun hadn't received much formal education.
"Those who can't write should leave their handprints."
After everyone left, they left their handprints.
With three or four people testifying, after the police presented the case, they read to Ran Jin, "Now that the matter has been investigated and cleared up, your brother can go home later after the procedures are completed, but it is a fact that he hit someone."
"I know we will provide compensation." Ran Jinnian didn't want to give it, but she still had to put on a show.
