The police officer nodded: "Very good."
The next second.
Ran Jinnian spoke up again: "Officer, my brother beat someone because Song Zehan provoked and insulted him first. Then Song Zehan lied and said that my brother beat him seriously and pretended to be unconscious at the health center. He filed a false report. What kind of behavior is this?"
Ran Siyuan was locked up inside for over ten days for no reason.
She couldn't swallow this anger.
Ran Jinnian wasn't defending her older brother; hitting someone is wrong, but her brother had a reason for doing so.
The situation involving the eldest brother and Song Zehan is relatively minor and has not reached a serious level.
Under the current criminal law, they won't be arrested and imprisoned. If everyone were arrested for every little thing they did, society would descend into chaos.
However, fighting is definitely not allowed and will still be severely criticized.
The police couldn't help but marvel at how quick-thinking highly educated people are.
"His behavior is certainly illegal, and we will handle it according to the law." The police will naturally not let Song Zehan off the hook.
His behavior was far more serious than Ran Siyuan's.
After hearing what the police said, Ran Jinnian tactfully changed the subject: "My older brother can go home today. What time will he come out?"
"We'll submit the case closure documents now. If it goes quickly, it'll be around four or five o'clock; if it goes slowly, it'll be around eight or nine o'clock in the evening."
This is a small case, so it usually gets done quickly.
"Very good."
Ran Jinnian was overjoyed.
When the young couple returned home, An'an rushed over to them, saying, "Mommy, where did you go? I missed you so much!"
The little guy hadn't seen Ran Jinnian for a while and had been crying for a bit.
Wang Xiumei was peeling a pear for the little guy: "An'an hasn't seen you and keeps asking me to take him to find you."
An'an has been cared for by Ran Jinnian, so the little one is very attached to her mother.
Lu Jinyuan watched as his son clung to his wife, not even glancing at him.
Ran Jinnian hugged An'an and gave him the pear that his grandmother had peeled: "An'an, Mommy is going to talk about something now, don't make a fuss, okay?"
"good."
An'an sat obediently in her mother's lap and ate the pear in small bites.
Ran Jinnian then said, "Big brother is alright now, he'll be home later tonight."
When Ran Demin got home from work, he saw his daughter and grandson, and then learned that his eldest son was going to be released. After his joy, he looked at Lu Jinyuan with concern: "You didn't do anything, did you?"
When Wang Xiumei heard what Ran's father said, she also felt something was wrong. Why did her son-in-law release the person as soon as he returned?
Could it be that they used connections?
“Dad, Mom, what are you thinking? We’ve found a witness who has proven my brother’s innocence.” Ran Jinnian knew what her parents were thinking.
Upon hearing this, Ran Demin said, "You went to Sanqing Lane, but the people in that lane won't say anything."
After Ran Siyuan was arrested, they went to Sanqing Lane, but what those people said was of no use.
“Why did they agree to testify about your whereabouts?” Wang Xiumei also found it strange.
Ran Jinnian smiled and said, "Giving them some benefits makes things much easier."
It's impossible for the police to do that when investigating a case.
Nowadays, a bag of white sugar, a pack of cigarettes, and a few bars of soap are considered high-quality items.
Moreover, once Lu Jinyuan's military officer identification was revealed, everyone who had taken the items had no choice but to testify.
"Harmful."
Ran Demin patted his leg; they were too anxious to have thought of this aspect.
"Jin Nian, thank you." Sister-in-law Li Juan wiped away her tears. She had been very worried about Ran Siyuan during the days he was detained.
