“So you’re saying, if you had found the mobile phone, your target wouldn’t have been my wallet, but the mobile phone instead, right?”
Listenting to Su Xiaofeng fabricating things out of thin air, the man disagreed, “Don’t talk nonsense, when did we ever think of targeting your wallet?
Stop framing innocent people.
It was your fault, my wife just wanted to take a look at your new bag, but you hit her.”
“Oh, I’d like to know if there are your fingerprints on this wallet and in it,” Xiaofeng said as she started to dial, “Without an interdiary here, the few of us can’t make it clear, one man’s word is as good as another’s, we won’t reach a conclusion this way, let’s get the police station involved.”
The other party was a habitual thief and definitely didn’t want the police to co more than she did.
Hearing Xiaofeng’s words, the man beca infuriated, “You hit soone and you still want to call the police, who gave you the courage.
If you don’t want to compensate with money, you can use the mobile phone instead.
Whenever you bring over two thousand yuan, I will return the mobile phone to you.”
The man said and advanced to snatch Xiaofeng’s phone, “Everybody says the sa, you injured my wife seriously, and without compensation, this matter won’t be settled.
You haven’t said a word all this ti, I can only take away your most valuable mobile phone, and whenever you’re willing to pay us two thousand yuan, I’ll return the mobile phone to you.”
Did they think the matter would be forgotten without compensation?
Of course not, if the other party didn’t want to compensate, it’s even better, they could directly take away the mobile phone in their hands.
Once the mobile phone was in his hands, it would be impossible for the other party to take it back.
“After all is said and done, you’re just after my mobile phone.” Xiaofeng raised her hand, not letting him succeed, “You keep insisting that my wife is seriously injured, yet you’ve been here all this ti and have not shown the slightest concern for her, you’re only fixated on compensation.
Based on this alone, there’s every reason to suspect that your interest in the bag was just a pretext, and your real motive was to stage an accident and extort money.”
“You’re not ntioning your brother hitting soone,” the man thought of what the salesclerk said, standing his ground, “The sales clerk here saw with his own eyes your brother hitting my wife, even if the police co, it will be the sa.”
Anyway, with the sales clerk as a witness, he had nothing to fear.
“Alright, let the police co,” she didn’t have much else to do that afternoon, and was quite bored.
“The police are here.” Soone shouted.
A path was imdiately cleared in the crowd to let the police officer from outside co in.
Following everyone’s gaze, the man saw a face all too familiar, not caring about the woman on the ground, he turned and ran.
Being a habitual thief with past encounters with the police, they would definitely recognize him, so it was the perfect ti to flee.
Seeing him trying to run, the woman clutched his trouser leg, “Xigua, you can’t leave behind.”
“Don’t hold on to , do you want us to go in together?” Xigua, the man, struggled, but the woman’s strength was too great, and he couldn’t escape.
A middle-aged man with an air of authority and wearing a uniform stepped forward, casting a stern glance, “What’s the issue here?”
The woman on the ground suddenly stood up, acting as though nothing had happened, “It’s nothing, nothing, it was just a small misunderstanding, it’s all sorted now.”
Trying to avoid police suspicion was best done by pretending that nothing had happened at all.
Everyone was surprised by the woman’s sudden change of attitude.
Hadn’t they just been demanding compensation a mont ago?
Now that the police officer had arrived, they acted as if nothing had happened.
What was this situation?
“Right, there was a little misunderstanding, but it’s all resolved now,” the man said with a forced smile, “Wife, you said your back was uncomfortable, let’s go see a doctor.”
“Yes, my back hurts,” the woman said, holding her back, “I just fell while walking, and twisted my back.” She chuckled awkwardly, “Officer, goodbye, we won’t bother your work.”
As she spoke, she and her husband tried to sidle away.
The officer glanced at the two figures, his brow furrowing, “It’s indeed you two, I’ve had my eye on you for quite so ti now, I didn’t expect you to move your operations here, both of you, since we’ve t, why don’t you co with us.”
The man’s body stiffened, there it was, he had been recognized.
The woman, clenching her back, didn’t want to go, “Ow, ow, my back!”
Groaning and pleading, “Comrade, my back is injured.
Could you please take to the hospital first?”
The officer, seeing her condition, didn’t think she was faking it.
Before he could decide, Ye Cheng spoke softly, “She doesn’t have anything wrong with her.
There’s no need to go to the hospital.”
Just now, his consciousness seed to have lingered.
Although he used violence, he also controlled his strength, sothing he hadn’t done before.
“Comrade.” The man, hearing Ye Cheng’s words, felt so angry he almost wanted to cry, “Just now, it was him who hit my wife.
I think if you’re going to handle this, you need to deal with them first.”
It made no sense that those who had hit soone were fine, while those who hadn’t laid a finger were in trouble, right?
“Comrade.” Xiaofeng took a step forward and handed a black leather bag to the officer, “This is their wallet.
I’ve heard that the police station now has a technology that can extract fingerprints from different places.
You can take a good look and ask them why the wallet, covered in their fingerprints, ended up in my brother’s pocket.”
“Oh right, there seems to be a few counterfeit notes inside.”
The wallet was bulging.
At first glance, it looked like it contained a lot of money, but in reality, it was all fake and unusable.
The officer took the wallet, glanced at the few banknotes inside, and scoffed, “Let’s go, tell where these notes ca from.”
The man still resisted, “Comrade, the wallet was found on her, it’s obviously hers, it has nothing to do with us.”
If it’s about fingerprints, the other party touched and took it as well.
“Yeah, you can’t just jump to conclusions because it reflects poorly on us.
If we had those things, why would we even bother stealing?
We could just use the fake ones as we like.
Who knows if anyone could even recognize them.” The woman also countered.
In any case, they had to deny it to the death.
If they were to admit to the charges, they’d have a lot of suffering in store.
“I can testify.” The sales clerk, who had recovered his composure, said, “I saw this woman throw the wallet on the ground and then tell him—” The clerk pointed at Ye Cheng, “to pick it up.
He ignored it, and the woman picked up the wallet and forced it on him.
Then her accomplice, while this young lady wasn’t looking, stole this young lady’s wallet.”
The man cursed upon hearing the sales clerk’s words, “Do you know how to speak?
If you can’t speak, shut up.
First, you say you saw this man hitting my wife, and then you say you saw my wife tussling with him.
I think you’re in cahoots with them.”
One story at the beginning, now another one.
The clerk, having a clear understanding of the sequence of events, was no longer afraid, “Just like what this young lady said, you must have been trying to steal soone’s mobile phone and got thrown out when discovered.
If it were , if soone tried to steal the most valuable thing on and I found out, I too would have done the sa thing.”
Showing a thief a bit of color is necessary.
Listening to the clerk’s words, the custors present had a sudden realization.
Indeed, just as the young lady had said, the other party tried to steal sothing and failing, resorted to blackmail.
“We received a report and suspect that you are connected to two other thefts.
Co on, co with us,” the officer said.
As soon as he finished, the man began to sit on the ground and cry loudly, “Mom, co save .
Your son is going to be put in jail.”
Everyone: “….”
They thought to themselves, if they had such a son, they would have wished they had never had him.
It was too embarrassing.
No matter how reluctant the man and woman were, they had no choice but to leave.
When the officer was leaving, he walked up to Xiaofeng and smiled at her, “Young lady, you have guts.
You designed each step to entrap them, almost steering the opposition right into your dead end.”
Xiaofeng chuckled lightly, “I was afraid they would run away.
If they did, who knows who the next victim would be.”
“We ca over as soon as we received the call,” said the police station as he glanced around.
“Who made the call just now?”
“It was .” Manager Yao stepped out from the crowd, “I happened to be passing by here.
When I heard Miss Su say she wanted to call the police, I gave her a hand.”
Manager Yao had been standing in the shadows, curious to see how Su Xiaofeng, a young woman under twenty, would handle this situation.
The outco surprised him.
She was composed and quick-witted, showing not a hint of fear or nervousness.
Young and courageous, she might make a good future business partner.
