Everyone nodded, "Yeah, I recognize those sunglasses. They're a new model from P this year. He even showed them off to me after he bought them..."
"So he was the one who destroyed the surveillance. Isn't this the thief crying thief? Why did he do this?"
"Didn't you hear what Sister Meiling said? Someone has been stealing vegetables from her house since November. It must have been Tian Xiaofeng who did it. He destroyed the community facilities to avoid leaving any evidence. How despicable!"
When Zhu Manli saw the picture in Officer Wu's hand, she immediately recognized that the man was Tian Xiaofeng. She turned to look at her son and found that Tian Xiaofeng's face was pale. Zhu Manli felt a chill in her heart, knowing that Tian Xiaofeng must have done it.
Intentional destruction of public property, involving a small amount and minor circumstances, is a common offense, and a warning and compensation for the damages are sufficient. However, the neighborhood's security cameras are custom-made, high-end products costing over 1,000 yuan each. More than a dozen have been repeatedly vandalized, resulting in losses exceeding 10,000 yuan. This constitutes a serious crime and, according to the Public Security Administration Punishment Law, carries a prison sentence of up to three years.
The more Zhu Manli thought about it, the more frightened she became. She decided not to admit her guilt. "Officer Wu, Xiaofeng has been spoiled by his father and is a bit willful. I remember that two days ago, I criticized him for a small matter. He got angry and did something wrong on impulse. I apologize to the property management staff and all the other owners on his behalf. We will compensate for the broken camera. But the damaged camera has nothing to do with my Xiaofeng. You can't blame him for it all!"
Officer Wu smiled, took out a stack of screenshots from his briefcase, and unfolded them one by one: "How do you explain these?"
Zhu Manli saw the five or six portraits in Officer Wu's hand. Although they were blurry, she could recognize Tian Xiaofeng by their outlines. Zhu Manli felt her head buzzing and cursed Mrs. Wang in her heart. It was all this trouble caused by this old hag. Why were you envious of other people's radishes for no reason? Besides, the radishes and cabbages at Chen's house were strange, even tastier than the organic vegetables sold at the market. No wonder his son stole them. He really couldn't get enough! Xiaofeng was also stupid. Couldn't he cover himself up more tightly? The Afro and limited edition sunglasses were so eye-catching. It would be better not to disguise himself!
Officer Wu continued to stare at Zhu Manli and said, "Deputy Chief Zhu, these six screenshots were extracted from the SD cards of those twelve cameras, ranging from mid-November to late December. Although the images are blurry, we can still see that the suspect's hood and sunglasses match the images taken two days ago. We have reason to believe that it is the same person who did this. This is a case of long-term deliberate destruction of public property, which constitutes a criminal offense! Tian Xiaofeng, we suspect you are involved in the repeated vandalism of the Garden Community surveillance cameras. Please come back with us to assist in the investigation!"
After hearing what Officer Wu said, Zhu Manli felt a black screen in front of her eyes and her body swayed a few times. She almost fell down.
Officer Wu stepped forward and grabbed Tian Xiaofeng's upper arm. Tian Xiaofeng grabbed Tian Yao's arm in fear, crying "woohoo" and shaking his head vigorously. Even though everyone didn't understand what he said, they could guess that what he said was "I won't go."
Tian Yao was also panicking. He grabbed Tian Xiaofeng's other arm and started a tug-of-war with Officer Wu, yelling, "My son is innocent. You can't arrest people based on a few unclear photos. You're abusing your power and can't tell right from wrong! Your director knows the Chen family, so you're biased towards them. There's something fishy going on here. I'm going to file a complaint against you—!"
Qingshan watched the farce for a long time and finally got satisfied. He felt that the time was right and it was time to produce solid evidence.
"Director Zou, please wait a moment, I have evidence to provide!"
