During this conversation, Ye Zhiqiu had already told five or six people about the crazy old man beating the child.
Anyway, he knew very well that one cannot use the same words to describe everything. One has to mix the true and the false, the real and the unreal.
So the grandfather and grandson he mentioned evolved from a crazy old man with a fat grandson who bullied children to an old man who was suspected of kidnapping a fat child and continued to kidnap other children!
I saw many aunties who were so scared by what their grandfather and grandson said that they ran back home to look after their children who were not in school.
Ye Zhiqiu was satisfied. He went to buy malt sugar and soda and walked back home leisurely. It was only three o'clock.
What Ye Zhiqiu didn't know was that the idea of human traffickers was so terrifying, so the rumor spread quickly and distorted greatly! Before five o'clock in the evening, someone had already encountered the grandfather and grandson, who were exactly the people who fit the rumors of human traffickers!
The righteous resident pointed at the two men and shouted "human traffickers". People who heard it surrounded them with sticks and started fighting for some reason.
Then the old man and his grandson, who were beaten black and blue, were taken to the police station while shouting that they were innocent!
Ye Zhiqiu, who was idle at home, was also taken back to the police station for tea.
"Name!"
"Ye Zhiqiu, male, 18 years old, works as a buyer for a brewery and lives at No. 16, East Third Lane, Sanlitun."
Ye Zhiqiu honestly told the police officer his information. The police officer was stunned for a moment, then sneered, "Oh! You're such a shrewd old man. Do you know what you've done wrong?"
Ye Zhiqiu said with a smile: "Comrade, you can't wrongly accuse me. I have never done anything wrong. I am just cooperating with your questioning. Don't treat me as a criminal!
Also, don't say I didn't do anything wrong. If I did do something minor, our factory security department would handle it."
After he finished speaking, he took out a bag of red peonies and distributed some to the people who were asking the questions.
It wasn't a big deal to begin with, but now that Ye Zhiqiu has been found out, he's spreading rumors about the beaten old man. At this point, this matter can only be described as a neighborhood dispute, not even a minor matter worthy of detention, so mediation is the primary approach!
After smoking a cigarette, the police officer smiled and asked, "I've already understood what happened. What are you thinking? They don't have any deep hatred against you. Why are you going around telling the neighbors that a grandfather and his grandson beat up a child and that they're suspected of being human traffickers?"
Ye Zhiqiu was not panicked. He smiled and explained, "Well, this is what happened. This old man's grandson is spoiled and likes to snatch other children's toys!
It's normal for a child to grab a toy, and I wouldn't say anything. I don't think it's worth making a fuss about. The problem is this old man, he really bullies the child!
My sister is only six years old, and he, a man of his age, actually grabbed her braid and called her a loser! A six-year-old girl was grabbed by the hair and scolded by him, which gave her a headache for a long time!
If this happened to you, would you be able to tolerate it? I managed to let the grandfather and grandson leave and didn't hit them or anything, but the more I thought about it afterwards, the angrier I got!
If this old man wanted to beat me up, I could still hold back. But he is so old and aggressive, bullying such a young child, how fucking brave!
I wanted to alert the neighbors to prevent their children from being beaten by this old man. I went to warn everyone, just to remind them that there are such people.
As for the suspected human trafficker, I only said suspected because I have never seen this old man around here, and there has never been an elderly person beating a child in our neighborhood.
My suspicion is reasonable, and what I said is all true. If that old man dares to swear on his own children and grandchildren that he didn't pull my little sister's hair and scold her, then I will accept any punishment the law imposes on me!
This police officer was really at a loss for words. This was really fucking interesting!
But he really didn't think that Ye Zhiqiu did anything wrong! If the old man really bullied the child, then he didn't deserve the beating!
What the hell? He's old enough to bully someone else's little kid. If this were an irrational parent who attacked him with a knife, the trial would probably result in a lenient sentence.
It's all these trivial matters all day long. If the masses hadn't been misled and beat up the old man, and accidentally injured his grandson, this matter should have been handled by the street office. There was no need to go to the police station.
So the police officer said helplessly: "Alright, I understand what happened. It's just a neighborhood dispute. I won't bother you. But this won't happen again! If there's a dispute like this again, don't make a fuss about it. Just go to the street office and handle it!"
Ye Zhiqiu smiled and said, "That can't be right. After the profound education from the police comrades, I have done a deep self-reflection. Next time I encounter this kind of thing, I will definitely not cause trouble for the police comrades!"
The police officer waved his hand dismissively and said, "Alright, alright, just leave now. Do you still want to keep your meal here?"
When Ye Zhiqiu left, he heard the police officer scolding the old man! He was told that he was old and yet he hit a child. Ye Zhiqiu chuckled and walked back home.
I originally thought that this vengeance would last overnight, but who would have thought that the neighbors on the street were so powerful that they beat the guy up in less than half a day!
I believe that after this incident, this old man who is sick with the disease will have to avoid Wang Fugui whenever he sees him.
Ye Zhiqiu knew full well that cursing people wasn't illegal in this day and age, and the definition of civil tort was extremely vague. Not to mention that the rumors he spread were a mix of truth and falsehood, so there was no crime to be charged against him at all!
Only if one said reactionary words would one be punished, so Ye Zhiqiu was not worried at all even if he was summoned by the police station.
