When all the money was counted, Lin Yuexi couldn't help but exclaimed: "How is this possible!" Lu Jingyi also widened her eyes, repeatedly confirmed the numbers, and murmured: "Sister-in-law, did we count the wrong amount?"
Wang Lijuan also came over to carefully check the bill and found that there was no mistake in the calculation. Not only did today's turnover not decrease, it was actually 10% more than expected!
Recalling the chaos of the day, the knocked-over shelves, broken goods, and panicked customers, it all seems to be still before my eyes.
Who could have expected that just Lin Yuexi's words "Every customer who buys something in the store today will get a 20% discount" would have such great magic.
After the chaos subsided, customers were attracted by the discount and rushed to pay.
Perhaps they were moved by Lin Yuexi's sincere words, or perhaps they were attracted by the real discount.
In any case, this result was unexpected by everyone.
Everyone looked at each other, and then burst into cheerful laughter, which contained both surprise at the unexpected surprise and gratitude for a blessing in disguise.
At the same time, Liu Zhien brought Lu Weiqing and others back to the bureau.
In the interrogation room, Lu Weiqing was still very emotional. He kept banging the table and refused to cooperate with the interrogation.
Xia Ziying and Li Xiuying sat aside, sobbing quietly and mumbling words to defend themselves.
Liu Zhien frowned as he looked at the scene in front of him. He knew very well that if he wanted to break through from Lu Weiqing, he had to find a suitable entry point.
Liu Zhien first arranged for the police to interrogate Xia Ziying, Li Xiuying and those gangsters separately, and obtain confessions by defeating them one by one.
Faced with the police's questioning, the gangsters soon could not bear the pressure and confessed that it was Lu Weiqing who paid them to cause trouble. They also described in detail every detail of Lu Weiqing's prior plan.
On the other hand, Xia Ziying and Li Xiuying had to admit their wrong behavior in the face of evidence, but they still put all the blame on Lu Weiqing, claiming that they were only under his instructions and had no choice.
After obtaining these confessions, Liu Zhien once again walked into the interrogation room where Lu Weiqing was.
He threw a stack of confessions in front of Lu Weiqing and said coldly: "Lu Weiqing, your accomplices have already confessed. It's not too late for you to confess now and try to get a lighter sentence."
Lu Weiqing looked at the confession in front of him and his face turned pale, but he still insisted: "They are talking nonsense, this is all made up by them. Liu Zhien, I know that you have a very good relationship with Gong Mufeng and Zhao Gang, but you can't use public power to inquire about private matters!"
Seeing that Lu Weiqing still refused to give in, Liu Zhien decided to try another approach.
He sat down and said earnestly, "Lu Weiqing, I know you are angry about your mother's matter, but your way of dealing with it is wrong. Your mother committed a crime and violated the law. It is not your third brother's problem.
"You made a bigger mistake because of your impulse. Have you ever thought that by doing this, you not only cannot help your mother, but will also make your family more sad?"
When Lu Weiqing heard Liu Zhien mention his family, his body trembled slightly and a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes.
Liu Zhien continued, "Look at what you did in the store today. You almost hurt so many innocent people. Your second brother almost got hurt in order to save everyone. Do you really think you were right to do this?"
Lu Weiqing lowered his head, held his head in his hands, and fell into deep thought.
After a long time, he raised his head, his eyes full of regret: "I was wrong, I was really wrong... I just felt so sorry for my mother, I didn't want her to go to jail." As he said that, he couldn't help but burst into tears.
At this time, Lu Jianmin rushed to the police station. He saw Lu Weiqing crying bitterly, and his heart ached.
Lu Jianmin walked into the interrogation room, sat next to Lu Weiqing, and patted him on the shoulder gently: "Fourth brother, it's good that you admit your mistakes and can correct them. Let's face it together and handle this matter properly."
Lu Weiqing raised his head, looked at Lu Jianmin, and said with a sob: "Second brother, I'm sorry for you and everyone..."
Seeing that Lu Weiqing had admitted his fault, Lu Jianmin said to Liu Zhien, "Deputy Director Liu, my fourth brother has admitted his fault. Can you give him a lighter punishment?"
(At this time, Liu Zhien had solved several major cases in the past few years and had been promoted to deputy director of the county...)
Liu Zhien stood there, staring at the chaotic and embarrassing scene in front of him, his brows twisted into a knot, his lips moved slightly, and when he was about to say something, he saw Zhao Gang hurried over.
Before coming here, Zhao Gang had already called Gong Mufeng, who was far away in the army, with a serious expression.
After the call was connected, there was a slight sound of electricity in the signal. Zhao Gang's voice was full of anxiety and seriousness. He told Gong Mufeng the whole story of Lu Weiqing's disturbance in the store, especially emphasizing that Lu Weiqing was causing trouble because he hated them for his mother's imprisonment.
At first, Gong Mufeng's furious voice came from the receiver. He was extremely annoyed at Lu Weiqing's behavior of running to the store to cause trouble, and loudly denounced this impulsive and reckless behavior.
But when Zhao Gang explained in detail why Lu Weiqing resorted to such desperate measures because his mother was in jail and he hated them, the person on the other end of the line suddenly fell silent, and only a heavy sigh was heard.
After a long while, Gong Mufeng sighed deeply, his voice full of helplessness and emotion, and slowly said: "Forget it! Forget it! After all, he is still a filial son. In the final analysis, whether this matter should be forgiven or not, let Yuexi deal with it! After all, she is the owner of Yuexi Store and the victim of this matter. We respect her decision."
Liu Zhien frowned slightly after hearing what Zhao Gang said, and then asked, "Have you asked Comrade Yuexi? This matter ultimately depends on her opinion. She is the one who is directly affected."
Zhao Gang nodded gently, his expression relaxed a little, and replied: "I have asked! She said that since the fourth brother knows his fault, he should be punished leniently..."
On this side, Lin Yuexi was actually really angry at that time. After all, the store was in a mess, the shelves were knocked over, the goods were broken, and the customers were scared.
But she was still very rational. After thinking it over, she felt that it was better to resolve the feud than to create one. Although Lu Weiqing acted too badly, he was still Lu Jianmin's biological brother.
If the relationship becomes completely strained and they come to the store to cause trouble every few days, then the store’s business will no longer be stable.
She also weighed the pros and cons again and again, thinking of forgiving Lu Weiqing this time, and treating it as a gesture of brotherhood for the whole palace Mu Feng and Lu Jianmin towards Lu Weiqing.
When Liu Zhien heard what Zhao Gang said, he knew that this matter was a matter of turning a big thing into a small thing and a small thing into nothing.
