Chapter 34 Freedom is very precious
Xiao Peng just wanted to leave here quickly, so he said, "We can't just leave this kid here, but we can't wait for the police either. How about this, let's go find a police station somewhere else and hand him over to the police!"
As a result, Felix exclaimed when he heard this: "No, I'm not going to the police station!"
Xiao Peng suddenly realized what was going on. He asked Pascal, "Little Pa, do you think he is an illegal immigrant?"
"Little Pa?" Pascal looked around blankly, then realized he was talking about himself. I think I'm older than you, right?
But looking at so many people lying on the ground, he swallowed and said, "You have the bigger fist, so you have the final say."
Although he was touched by Xiao Peng's courage, Pascal was also uncomfortable with Xiao Peng's blatant taking advantage of him, so he said angrily, "How could I possibly know?"
Xiao Peng was helpless: "Then what should we do?"
"That's the question I just asked you!" Pascal protested.
Xiao Peng thought for a moment and said, "It seems quite dangerous for him to stay here, otherwise he wouldn't be driving so hard. Forget it, no matter what, let's get him away from here first, and then see if I can help him find his family!"
Pascal complained, "Looking at the way you beat someone up just now, you don't seem like such a kind person."
Xiao Peng waved his hands, looking embarrassed, but in his heart he was already cursing - "Get out of here! It'll be troublesome if the police come! Otherwise, who will carry this little burden?"
"Xiao Pa, if we want to talk, let's go somewhere else and don't wait for the police to come and spoil the fun." Xiao Peng said.
Pascal shook his head arrogantly. "Don't worry. We're in Aix, and there are only municipal police. Just ask Fabian to handle this. How could the Cousteau family be afraid of the municipal police?"
Hearing the words "Municipal Police", Xiao Peng instantly felt more at ease.
In France, police work is a high-risk profession.
The "high risk" here does not mean that they have to face armed criminals all day long like American police. Their "high risk" comes from psychological pressure. Police are among the professions with the highest suicide rate in France.
There are three types of police in France: the national police led by the Ministry of the Interior, the gendarmerie managed by the Ministry of Defense, and the municipal police.
Generally speaking, the national police are responsible for public security in cities with a population of more than 10,000; the gendarmerie is responsible for public security in the capital and rural areas; and the municipal police are in a worse situation.
The full name of this type of police should be "civil municipal police". Their job is usually to copy tickets and manage illegal parking or parking without paying. Nominally, they cooperate with the gendarmerie and are civil servants, but in the French civil service system, they are at the "C" level, which is pitifully low. Almost no one here takes the municipal police seriously!
Moreover, no matter what type of police force they are, the working environment is very poor. The French, who love to fight, naturally hate the police and are extremely unfriendly towards them. As a result, the police are under great pressure when handling cases for fear of offending others.
How bad is the working environment for the police here?
Once a couple took their child to the coastal city of Sainte-Marie for vacation and found two women sunbathing topless on the beach. They were afraid that it would affect their child's growth, so they called the police. After receiving the complaint, the police sent two policemen to find the two sunbathing women and asked them to put on their clothes.
As a result, what Xiao Peng considered a perfectly normal incident caused a huge uproar! Even the French Interior Minister publicly criticized the police's actions, essentially saying, "Women should be allowed to be naked, and freedom is extremely precious!" The final result was a public apology from the local police, and the two officers involved received a series of penalties, nearly losing their jobs.
The chance of seeing ordinary people pointing fingers and cursing at the police here is about the same as the chance of seeing rats on the street... In such a working environment, how can the police here not be under great psychological pressure?
Knowing that only the municipal policeman was here, Xiao Peng was no longer afraid. He said casually, "Come on, take me to your house first and let me see where I'm going to live in the future!"
Look at how arrogant Pascal was just now. If you see such a thick thigh in a foreign country and don’t hug it, you’d be a fool!
Not long after they got into Pascal's car and left, a burly man suddenly sat up. He was the one Xiao Peng had clapped his hands with and then knocked unconscious.
He didn't faint at all!
He's not stupid. Just now, when he saw Xiao Peng knocking down all his companions like a weakling, he knew he was no match for Xiao Peng. Xiao Peng hit him and he just lay on the ground pretending to be unconscious. Why not faint? Continue to be abused?
After waiting for Xiao Peng and the others to leave, he quickly got up from the ground. The ground had been exposed to the sun for so long and it was really hot!
As a result, as soon as he got up, the people next to him also sat up one by one.
"Damn! It's scalding me!"
"Me too! I almost couldn't help myself just now!"
"Are you pretending to faint too? I thought you really fainted just now! Your acting skills are amazing, you fooled me!"
"Of course, I studied acting at the Paris International Film Academy!"
"Stop blowing and go see how Jacques is doing. My scalp is tingling just listening to the sound just now!"
"Oh my god, how did he get beaten like this!"
"Wake him up!"
"Yes, yes, give artificial respiration first!"
At this moment, the man with the goatee sat up from the ground and said, "Don't hesitate to give me artificial respiration! I'm fine!"
Everyone looked at him with a dark face, he didn't look like he was fine now!
"You're pretending to be dizzy too!"
"Nonsense, I let him beat me to death?"
One person asked, "Jacques, what should we do? Call the police?"
The man with the goatee, named Jacques, was furious when he heard this and slapped the questioner on the head. "You have a pig brain? Call the police? Do you want everyone in the world to know about this? If this gets out, we're all doomed!"
The man who was hit on the head asked, "What should we do? Felix has been taken away!"
"What else can we do? Call Marlene right now! Let her handle this!" Jacques said angrily, "Boko, call right now!"
Boco was the burly man. After hearing what Jacques said, he shook his head and said, "Our phones are all broken. And Marlene will go crazy if she finds out! She'll definitely call the police on Felix!"
Jacques said, "Tell Marlene I know where Felix is. Only she can bring him back! What are you still doing here? Make a call! If your cell phone isn't working, there's a pay phone!"
"But...we're out of money!" Boko said in embarrassment, "That Tyrannosaurus Rex emptied our wallets!"
"Well......"
