"One for each person, I was thinking of borrowing it to play with, but Chenxi wouldn't give it to me."
"Nonsense! You didn't borrow Shen Xi's slingshot; you just want to take it for yourself!" At this moment, a student standing behind the others boldly spoke up.
"I...I didn't."
"You have it! Last week, my dad made me a toy gun, and you saw it. You asked me for it, but I didn't give it to you. Then you, he, and he, on the way home from school, beat me up, stole my toy gun, and threatened me, saying I couldn't tell the teacher or my parents because you beat me and took my toy gun, or you'd beat me every day!" The little boy then started crying.
Now his father, standing beside him, asked, "Was it that day when I saw the injury on your face, and I asked you why you wouldn't say anything, and finally, when you had no choice but to say that you bumped into something?"
Then, seeing someone point him out, he quickly recounted how he bullied his classmates. He described how he stole their things, and when they refused, he got beaten up by several people on the way home from school.
Student number 1 never expected this. Not only did he not expect it, but even the police officers were surprised. This fourteen or fifteen-year-old kid was a petty thug!
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Just as Mother #1 was about to challenge them, she said...
"If you obstruct official business again, I'll handcuff you first," Comrade Wang said.
When Mother Number 1 heard that she was to be handcuffed, she immediately became obedient. "Xiao Sun, take these two comrades, this student, and the people involved, and go to the classroom to ask him how he led his classmates to rob them on the way home from school." Just like that, five students were taken away.
After obtaining information about these people, Ji Tuan, who was standing in the crowd, sent out a number of people to investigate their family situations while keeping a close eye on the crowd.
The police investigation revealed that, apart from student number 1 leading five other students in threatening, beating, and robbing classmates, the others mainly had minor conflicts with Shen Xi, such as not allowing him to copy homework or not allowing him to copy during exams.
Another person was in the same class as Shen Xi since school. Shen Xi always got first place and he got second place. The classmates called him the eternal runner-up. He was resentful and that's why he hit him. Usually, Shen Xi was not only good at studying, but also good at sports and knew some martial arts. He was usually afraid to do it alone, but when he saw a lot of people hitting Shen Xi, he ran over and kicked them a few times.
Shen Bei was beaten because after school he saw his brother being stopped and fighting, and he ran over to help his brother, which is how he got involved.
Among these people, only one student acted impulsively, saw a fight, and wanted to join in the fun, but unexpectedly got caught up in it.
Upon hearing this, everyone present felt that even while watching the spectacle, they had to protect themselves and not get involved.
Only Comrade Wang, after a moment of deep thought, asked, "Where were you at that time?"
Student number 9 thought for a moment and said, "I had just left the school gate a short while ago, only about ten meters ahead, when I saw a vendor selling candied hawthorns. I was thinking of buying one to satisfy my craving when I heard someone say, 'There's a fight going on in the alley ahead. Hurry, go and see!' So I quickly put the money in my pocket and rushed over. But when I was almost there, an older boy whispered in my ear, 'This fight is terrible. A whole group of people can't beat two people. I have to go help them.' I was puzzled at the time. How could a group of people not be able to beat two people? I thought he was joking, and I even glared at him a couple of times."
Seeing him running so fast, I also took off running. What I saw was that Shen Xi and his younger brother Shen Bei had already knocked down several classmates. Just then, the older brother who had been talking earlier went up and kicked Shen Xi and Shen Bei in the butt. Just like that, the two brothers fell down without warning.
The classmates standing nearby and those lying on the ground immediately got up and ran over to beat up Chen Xi and the others. I just... I was running too fast and couldn't stop in time. I ran into them. I really didn't hit anyone. I wanted to get out, but there were people all around me, and I couldn't get out.
"You just said that someone ran over and kicked the two Chen brothers."
"right"
"Do you remember what this looks like?"
"I remember, I have a really good memory. I can remember anyone I've met even once. If he just walks past me, I can recognize him," Number 9 said shyly.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" said Dad Number 9.
"Dad, you know I'm not good at studying, but I can say for sure about this."
"You, you, you..." Dad Number 9 was so angry he didn't know what to say. How could he have given birth to such a stupid son? If he points it out, wouldn't they retaliate against him? Sigh.
A man in the crowd, never expecting such a person, was immediately frightened and tried to sneak away while there were many people around.
Commander Ji, who was at the back of the crowd, saw this but did not step forward to stop him. Instead, he waited until the man was out of the crowd before saying, "Hold him down, don't let him get away."
Upon hearing this, everyone turned around and looked. At this moment, student number 9 said, "Yes, yes, it was him. He's the one who kicked Chen Xi and his brother."
Comrade Wang hadn't expected there to be other people behind him. They looked like soldiers, but since they were in civilian clothes, he made up an excuse and said, "Old Zhou, you take your men back first."
"Okay, then I'll take my men back first," Ji Tuan said, knowing the police officer was talking to him.
Now that everyone knows what happened, let's talk about the compensation you classmates paid for injuring those two brothers:
"Compensation? What compensation? Wasn't it that person who knocked them both to the ground? They injured my son and I haven't even asked them for medical expenses yet!" The mother of student number 1 retorted upon hearing about the compensation demand.
Comrade Wang and his colleagues in the police force hate people like this the most. They threatened her, saying, "Fine, no compensation is fine too. It just so happens that your son and his classmates frequently commit robbery. Judging from the current situation, he'll get at least three to five years in prison. Plus, he and his gang seriously injured the Shen brothers, so he'll have to wait a few more years. Together, it'll be at least ten years."
"Mom, Mom, I don't want to go to jail..." Student No. 1 cried as he spoke to his mother.
"Alright, stop crying. It's up to you whether you pay their medical bills or go to jail."
"We'll pay, we'll pay!"
"We'll compensate you, no matter how much."
"Alright, since that's the case, let's hear what the family of the beaten student has to say," Comrade Wang said.
Zhou Tao took a few steps forward, followed by a group of people who had come with her. They all stepped forward at the same time, and Xiao heard Zhou Tao say, "Hello, I'm Shen Xi and Shen Bei's mother."
