The words had barely left his mouth when two police officers walked in.
"Who called the police? They said there was a major theft here."
"Officer, I've called the police."
Upon seeing the police officers, Ma Kui rushed forward as if he had seen family.
"Police officers, please come quickly."
There's a thief in our factory! Right here in our dormitory, he stole 1000 yuan from me and even beat me up.
"Look at my arm, it's badly injured from his beating. You all have to help me get justice!"
"Ma Kui, it's you!"
When Officer Chen saw that it was Ma Kui, he was a little surprised. This kid had always been a bully in the factory.
He's always the one bullying others; when will it be his turn to be bullied?
It actually escalated to the point of calling the police. Most people would resolve a minor argument or fight privately.
These days, few people go to the police, because once something has passed through the government's hands, things become complicated.
Clearly, Ma Kui wanted to kill the other party.
Police Officer Chen looked up and sized up Jiang Tiecheng, a young man who was clearly a stranger.
They are the ones responsible for the factories in this area, and all the employees' families recognize their faces.
He immediately understood that Ma Kui was trying to intimidate them, and that the other party had probably resisted.
Moreover, it was clear that the other party was stronger, as they beat Ma Kui.
Otherwise, Ma Kui wouldn't have taken the risk of using this method.
"Alright, tell me, what exactly happened?"
"Officer, here's what happened. I left 1,000 yuan on my bed in the dormitory, and this guy took it."
And they absolutely refuse to admit it.
Ma Kui is the one who falsely accuses others; in any case, there's no way to prove it once and for all.
He was certain that with himself and his father there, no one would dare to step forward and testify.
Unless that person doesn't want to work in the machine factory anymore.
Police Officer Chen made a note of Ma Kui's words and then looked back at Jiang Tiecheng.
"You must be Comrade Jiang Tiecheng."
Tell me what exactly happened.
Upon hearing what the police officer said, one can tell that the officer was very fair in enforcing the law and did not simply believe one side of the story.
Jiang Tiecheng said with a smile,
"That's how the police officers are."
I'm new here, reporting for duty today!
My assigned bed was piled with Comrade Ma Kui's things, so I cleared them out and returned them to Comrade Ma Kui.
I was afraid of such a problem, so I specifically sought out witnesses when I was cleaning up those things.
I never expected this to happen.
When Chen Gong'an heard this, he was a little surprised. This kid was quite capable. It seemed that he had a backup plan.
“There are witnesses. Okay, since there are witnesses, this matter will be easy to handle.”
"Officer Chen, don't listen to his nonsense, he has no witnesses at all."
I asked the people in the dorm at the time, and none of them saw Jiang Tiecheng packing my things.
"On the contrary, everyone can testify that I left 1,000 yuan on that bed, didn't I, guys? Why don't you come out and say something?"
Ma Kui turned around and glared fiercely at the people in the dormitory.
Those people could only nod in the crowd.
“Officer Chen, we didn’t see if Jiang Tiecheng took the 1,000 yuan when he was packing his things. We really didn’t notice it.”
"But I think I remember Ma Kui's 1,000 yuan. It was on the bed, but I don't know if he took it or not."
The people in the dormitory were very talkative, and their main point was that they didn't know or see anything.
When Officer Chen saw the evasive looks in these people's eyes, he knew they weren't telling the truth.
"Comrades, if you lie and cover up for bad guys, you will be held jointly liable, and we can hold you accountable."
The main reason was that Officer Chen couldn't stand seeing this young man being bullied like this.
Ma Kui's reputation precedes him; everyone knows he's a scoundrel and a scoundrel.
Although we shouldn't be prejudiced, there's nothing we can do about it; Ma Kui hasn't done anything good over the years.
The crowd lowered their heads in fear, but still did not change their tune.
Ma Kui said smugly,
"What Officer Chen and the others said was the truth."
You can see they can testify that I did indeed have 1,000 yuan on my bed, but now the money is gone.
Who did you say took it?
It must be Jiang Tiecheng. You need to arrest him right now; he's a thief.
If such a scourge remains in our machine factory, wouldn't that damage our factory's reputation?
We can't afford to have people pointing fingers at our Knowledge Machinery Factory.
Ma Kui was very pleased, watching as the kid was about to be arrested.
He couldn't beat himself, but Jiang Tiecheng couldn't absolve himself of responsibility either.
Chen Gong'an turned around and looked at Jiang Tiecheng with a helpless expression.
Although the young man was clever and had prepared a backup plan, he did not expect that people's hearts are unpredictable.
As the saying goes, "When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head." These people, intimidated by Deputy Factory Director Ma's tyranny, absolutely dared not stand up and speak out.
That's reality. Even he, a police officer, knows this, but knowing and having evidence are two different things.
Knowing full well that the young man had been wronged, I was powerless to help him, since this matter required evidence.
"Young man, do you have any other evidence to prove you didn't take the money?"
Actually, this statement is somewhat biased.
“I have witnesses.”
The people around shook their heads helplessly after hearing this. Why couldn't this young man see clearly?
