Wang Bei took out the notebook he had used to record Lin Lei's confession. "Take a look. Are there any questions? If not, sign your name."
"Also, if we catch someone, and they don't just go to jail, how would you like them to compensate you? Write down the amount you want."
After Lin Lei signed his name, he didn't think much about it. He just did what Wang Bei said and wrote a sentence on a blank piece of paper - I hope to get compensation: three thousand yuan.
After Wang Bei saw Lin Lei finish writing, he immediately took the confession book back.
Wang Bei took out some red clay and asked Lin Lei to press his fingerprints on a piece of blank paper. When comparing them with the naked eye, they found that they were obviously different.
Lin Lei said confidently: "Officer Wang, is it different from my fingerprint? Those people must have framed me." He deliberately looked for incomplete fingerprints that could be seen with the naked eye.
Wang Bei's face was serious. "Lin Lei, the evidence is irrefutable, yet you still want to deny it. I am officially notifying you that you are under arrest."
Linley couldn't believe his ears. "What? Say it again."
"You've been arrested. I'll give you one more chance. Confess and you'll be treated leniently. Resist and you'll be treated severely. Tell the truth."
"What right do you have to arrest me? You are abusing your rights. I will sue you. Bring me your two fingerprints so I can compare them myself. I don't believe there is no law."
"The fingerprints are different, but the handwriting is the same. The word 'Chang' for compensation, isn't it exactly the same as what you wrote? You still dare to say that you don't know those people." Wang Bei turned out the half paper hidden behind the receipt, and the word "Chang" was revealed.
The little boss, who was only in the third grade, couldn't figure out how to write the word "compensation" when writing the receipt. So he asked Lin Lei, who took the pen and wrote on the blank paper without thinking.
How could that be possible? I regretted it the moment I wrote it and wanted to find a chance to erase it, but before I could do anything, the little boss tore up the paper right in front of me and threw it in the trash. How could it be connected to the receipt?
Yes, something fell and made a loud noise. I was afraid something might happen, so I turned my head and lost sight for a few seconds. That must have been the underling's doing. What do you mean by illiterate? This was all a trap.
"Officer, what can one word mean? I used to work in an office doing publicity. I wrote a lot of words every day. Maybe they picked up the paper I wrote on and used it."
"The pen and ink used to write this word are specially made. Only that group of people have it, and there is only one of them."
"I once spent a lot of money to buy a one-of-a-kind pen, but then I lost it. Will they find it?"
Wang Bei: “…” He won’t cry until he sees the coffin.
"So when did you lose that one-of-a-kind pen? Don't tell me you forgot. A pen this valuable, this unique, and this memorable, no one would forget it."
“I don’t remember the exact time, but I think it was last year.” Linley tried to recall the pen he had received that day. “The pen I lost was pure black, with a few spots on the cap.”
"That's complete nonsense! That pen was custom-made for the little boss by his father. He's been carrying it for over ten years and never leaves his body. Hundreds of people know the origin of this pen, and you can describe it so clearly? That proves you've been to the little boss's place."
"You think you can hide your identity by putting on makeup? Do you know what the little boss and his gang do? With your limited skills, what makes you think you can deceive others? From the moment you approached the little boss, he has already investigated your background thoroughly. Otherwise, do you think he is stupid and believes whatever you say is true? When you went to see him, there were witnesses and evidence, and you still want to deny it. Leniency for those who confess, severity for those who resist. I have already given you a chance, and since you don't cherish it, we will deal with it seriously."
Wang Bei: “…” He was just imprisoned for being a gangster some time ago, and now he has to go to jail for being a gangster again. He really brings trouble upon himself.
Lin Lei sat there dejectedly: It's over, I'm really finished now, I can't accept it, I really can't accept it.
Soon one of the police officers arrived with a doctor. Adhering to the principle of saving the dying and healing the wounded, the doctor couldn't help but advise: "Officer, I agree. Comrade Lin is seriously injured. He needs to stay in bed for at least three days to avoid heavy bleeding and endanger his life."
Wang Bei: “You three, stand guard here. At least two of you must stay in the room. Bring Lin Lei back to the bureau in three days.”
Li Erzhi, who had just come in, happened to hear this and was puzzled. "Officer, what do you mean? We are just reporting a case. Do we really need to let my son go back with you? My son is still injured. Is there anything I can't ask here?"
Wang Bei: "Lin Lei bribed a group of thugs to break Jiang Shushu's legs. The evidence is irrefutable and the circumstances are egregious. He must be severely punished. As soon as he's able to recover, he must return to the police station."
"Impossible, Alei, say something! You didn't do it, right? Tell the officer now!"
Since he couldn't deny it anyway, Linley just blurted it out. "What did you say? I did it. I just wanted to make that bitch Jiang Shushu suffer. If it weren't for her, how could I have been transferred to the most tiring position? How could I have been laughed at? How could I have been looked at like trash... If I'm not having a good time, why should she?"
Lin Lei's eyes were filled with madness. "I remember that day, I saw a gray figure flash by in my peripheral vision. Now the more I think about it, the more I feel that the person looks like Jiang Shushu. How did you catch those gangsters? Was it Jiang Shushu who informed him? He must have known that I deliberately retaliated against her, so he came to retaliate against me. Officer, I want to sue Jiang Shushu. I ask you to arrest her immediately. I made a mistake, I went to jail, and I admit it. Didn't Jiang Shushu do the same thing? We can't let her get away with it, right? Besides, Jiang Shushu is much more cruel than me. I only asked others to do it, but she did it herself and directly crippled me." Jiang Shushu, even if I die, I will drag you down with me. If I don't have a good life, don't even think about giving me a good life.
Wang Bei raised his eyebrows.
In fact, when it was discovered that Lin Lei and the small leader had collaborated to harm Jiang Shushu, Wang Bei immediately suspected that Jiang Shushu was responsible for Lin Lei's injury because it was such a coincidence.
"We will investigate."
"You investigated the matter of me harming Jiang Shushu so quickly. Do you think you can investigate the matter of me being harmed as quickly? Don't choose to protect Jiang Shushu just because she helped you a few times." He acted as if you police officers were not doing your job well if you couldn't find out the truth in the past two days.
Lin Lei looked at Li Erzhi and said, "Mom, take care of yourself from now on. Go home and publish a notice in the newspaper to sever ties with me! Otherwise, it will bring trouble to you and Dad." After saying this, Lin Lei closed his eyes and lay back on the bed.
