"Who are you?"
"Uncle police, I, I am Liu Hongjiang!"
"Liu Hongjiang? Oh, the one who had a fight with Du Chen some time ago? Why is your face covered in blood? Get up quickly!"
Although he felt a little disgusted, Lao Ding still reached out and helped Liu Hongjiang.
"Uncle police, I want to call the police!"
When Old Ding heard that Liu Hongjiang was going to call the police, he looked at the cafeteria not far away with embarrassment, but still led the limping Liu Hongjiang to the reception room.
Old Ding asked Liu Hongjiang to sit on a chair and he also found a chair and sat down.
"Tell me, what happened to you? Why did you call the police?"
Old Ding tried hard not to think about the delicious braised pork in the cafeteria and asked Liu Hongjiang very formally.
"Uncle police, someone just beat me up! I want to call the police! Look, they even knocked out two of my teeth!"
Liu Hongjiang reached into his trouser pockets and then showed Lao Ding his open palm. Lao Ding looked at the two bloody teeth in Liu Hongjiang's hand and his face twitched.
"Hey, okay, I saw it! Put it away quickly!"
Old Ding quickly said to Liu Hongjiang.
"Liu Hongjiang, how many people beat you? One or more? Who were they? What were their names? Do you know them?"
"Ah? I don't know..."
"You don't know who hit you? How many people were there?"
"I don't know either..."
The questions and answers left Lao Ding a little confused.
"Well, tell me the whole story from beginning to end!"
Old Ding simply asked Liu Hongjiang to describe it himself. Looking at his silly look, he thought it would be useless to ask any more questions.
"Oh, just after school at noon, I was walking home when someone put a sack on me from behind, and then..."
Liu Hongjiang had a good memory. He remembered clearly what he had said and the beatings he had received, so he described it to Lao Ding in great detail.
The more Old Ding listened, the more he felt that there was something wrong with this kid's brain. He didn't say anything and kept provoking the other party even after being put in a sack and beaten up. I didn't know whether to say he was stubborn or stupid!
"So you don't know who hit you, and you don't know how many people were on the other side, right?"
Old Ding asked Liu Hongjiang opposite him.
"Yeah! But I have the other party's murder weapon!"
As he spoke, Liu Hongjiang handed Lao Ding the tattered sack he had been holding all the way. Lao Ding looked at the dirty sack in the other person's hand with embarrassment, not knowing whether to take it or not.
"Liu Hongjiang, let me tell you, this sack is useless..."
"How could that be? Aren't there fingerprints on it? Didn't they show it on TV? They can find the murderer through fingerprints!"
Liu Hongjiang yelled at Lao Ding in disbelief.
"Look, you said you saw it on TV. We don't have the technology here. Besides, even if we did, could you extract fingerprints from the sack? And if you did, where would you find the person? Would we have to screen everyone in the living area? Who's going to pay for that?"
Lao Ding's questions came one after another, leaving Liu Hongjiang completely at a loss as to how to answer.
"How about this, Liu Hongjiang, I'll record it for you, and we'll find a way to catch him, but it may not take long!"
"By the way, were there any witnesses when you were beaten?"
"I think so, right? When I took off the sack, I thought I saw a few people watching."
Liu Hongjiang wasn't quite sure either.
"Then can you find them? We can also ask each other."
"I, I don't know..."
Liu Hongjiang recalled for a long time, but ended up with nothing.
"Then we have no other options at the moment. We can only investigate slowly. Oh, and you still need to contact your guardian. We need to communicate with your guardian."
Lao Ding was afraid of any other trouble, so he handled the matter in a very formal manner.
When Liu Hongjiang heard the word "guardian", he immediately thought of the last time his father beat him in the hospital, and he couldn't help but shudder.
"Can we not call them?"
Liu Hongjiang asked Lao Ding with a sad face.
"That won't work. You're still a minor, so we have to discuss many things with your guardian."
"All right……"
Liu Hongjiang answered weakly, as if he had foreseen the scene of himself being scolded by his father.
"By the way, do you have anyone you suspect? Who do you think would retaliate against you like this?"
At the end, Lao Ding asked again tentatively.
"Yes! If you hadn't told me, I would have almost forgotten! It must be Du Chen who sent someone to take revenge on me! It must be him!"
Liu Hongjiang suddenly became excited again.
"Then do you have any evidence?"
Old Ding asked Liu Hongjiang seriously, but his thoughts had already changed eighteen times.
"No……"
"Is that so? Then we'll check it out then. Also, you stay here for a while. I'll ask someone's parents to come over, and you can go back with them, okay."
After saying that, Lao Ding no longer paid any attention to Liu Hongjiang, picked up his lunch box and ran to the cafeteria impatiently.
"I wonder if they left some braised pork for me?"
Old Ding was secretly anxious.
"Captain Ding, why are you eating now?"
Xiao Liu, who had just finished his meal and was about to return to the office, saw Lao Ding running out of the office building in a hurry, and immediately asked Lao Ding enthusiastically.
"Liu Hongjiang came to call the police and is still in the reception room. You go stay with him. I'll have someone call his parents over later..."
Old Ding trotted and made arrangements to Xiao Liu without turning his head. He had to go to the cafeteria quickly.
"oh……"
Xiao Liu had just responded when he saw Lao Ding passing by him like the wind.
When he arrived at the cafeteria, Lao Ding randomly found a faucet, first washed the blood stains left by Liu Hongjiang on the rice bowl, and then walked briskly to the stove.
"Lao Gu, do you have any braised pork?"
Old Ding asked Master Gu, who was the purchasing manager, chef and food server, with great anticipation.
"Sergeant Ding, unfortunately, you're late! The meat is gone, and there's only a little soup left!"
Lao Gu showed Lao Ding the big dish. Apart from the shiny red soup, there was not even a scrap of food left in the dish.
"Ah... then give me some other dishes."
Old Ding was filled with disappointment and regret.
"There are only some potatoes and cabbage left. Do you want some?"
"Come on."
Lao Ding answered weakly, and suddenly he noticed the bowl that had just held the meat, so he quickly spoke to Lao Gu.
"Lao Gu, give me some of that braised pork broth!"
"no problem!"
Old Ding gnashed his teeth as he gnawed the potatoes and cabbage in front of him, thinking that he had to get Old Du to treat him to a big meal.
As soon as Old Ding heard about what happened today, he knew that it was either Du Chen or Du Bin who did it. First of all, Du Chen had just had a conflict with Liu Hongjiang, and secondly, no one else had the courage to do it.
