Before they arrived, they had agreed to try to get the perpetrators a heavier sentence by capitalizing on the frailty of women and their refusal to give in.
"Comrade Zhao, rest assured that we will certainly deal with those antisocial elements," Wang Jianguo said with strong conviction.
He usually seemed quite savvy.
Previously, Jianguo’s mother had been trying to set him up with a date, but the young man hadn’t taken the bait.
"We will have to trouble Officer Wang and the other Public Security comrades,"
Wang Jianguo revealed a silly smile on his face, "It’s our duty to do so."
As they watched Zhao Xinxin and Fang Meiyun leave, they didn’t immediately look away.
"Fancy one of the Comrade Zhaos?"
Wang Jianguo was startled, "I...."
The old policeman saw his face turn red.
They did not know whether Comrade Zhao was married or not.
However, this female comrade had several brothers.
If Xiao Wang intended to pursue anything with Comrade Zhao, those elder brothers were not to be trifled with.
"We should still crack open those people’s mouths. The chief went to a meeting today,"
Those people stubbornly claimed they were just collecting protection money. With such charges, they wouldn’t be detained for long.
But if they were charged with hooliganism as well, they’d be locked up for a longer time.
If it was an intentional robbery, however, the situation would be entirely different.
"Third Brother, I finally found a clue. I’ve been inquiring for days, almost turning the whole Capital City upside down, before I dug up a little something about this gang leader,"
Zhao Tianlei looked to Zhao Tianhe, indicating him to speak.
"It wasn’t just a name I relied on, I found his family, that kid has a grandmother. His mom died giving birth, one body two lives gone, and his dad remarried, who bore him several more children. His stepmother was the one who sent him to the countryside; moreover, she sent him to a poor village. But his grandmother secretly mailed him things."
There’s a hateful trait in pitiable people.
Zhao Tianhe continued, "After the restoration of the university entrance exams, the Educated Youth sat for exams to return to the city, but this kid failed. After coming back, he found out his grandmother was mistreated by his stepmother. After beating up his stepmother’s children, his father, driven by the stepmother, chased them away. But the kid was ruthless; he got his father and stepmother fired from their jobs."
"Unbeknownst to us, his grandmother fell ill and needed surgery, which his father and stepmother, of course, would not pay for. Somehow he suddenly had money and managed to send his grandmother to the hospital for treatment."
Can’t you get to the point?
If you take someone’s money, you must bear the consequences.
"Find out where that kid got the money. Someone must have seen something. Ask around carefully, bring some sweets for questioning, and don’t let people take you for a kidnapper."
Look at what Third Brother says, does he look like a trafficker?
How could he resemble a kidnapper at all?
But he still rode his bicycle to find clues about the man behind the scenes.
Being plotted against, one has to know who’s responsible, right?
How unsafe would that be otherwise?
We have to admit, Tianlei really had foresight. When Tianhe went to ask around with candy for information about the kid, he was indeed mistaken for a trafficker.
Zhao Tianhe explained he just wanted to inquire about the kid’s situation.
"So you were asking about him...."
Zhao Tianhe learned even more detailed information from these aunts and older women.
He didn’t find any clues on the first day.
But the suggestion letter he had written before had an effect.
This was something Tianlei had spent half a day on, organizing the areas in the Capital City that needed rebuilding over the past year.
