Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
It was May 26th on Wednesday in the fifth week of sester.
After Lie ngng's follow-up last night, Father Wang could confirm that the old man's dentia had been completely cured. At the mont, the old man was worried about his vegetable plot in the neighboring city suburb; before he had left to co here, he had entrusted it to Zhang San next door to make sure the vegetables didn't die. Once they were ripe, Zhang San could harvest and sell them, and keep the earnings for himself.
But two hours before the old man had been about to leave on his tricycle, sothing big happened in the Wang family! — Mother Wang had been groped on the subway on her way ho after doing her grocery shopping!
She hadn't just been molested, the pervert had also pushed her so that her forehead had knocked into a subway pole and she had cracked her skull.
The worse thing was that when the pervert had hurried to get off the train, he had even kicked Mother Wang, pointed at her in the crowd of people around them and shouted loudly, "There are so many people watching, and a hussy like you is deliberately wearing so little! You think you can bla ? Dream on!"
There was a saying that a villain blas his victim. This pervert had a tattoo on his arm and seed to belong to so triad. He also had a rough and threatening look. At that mont, there was no one who dared to stand up and speak for Mother Wang.
Mother Wang was a woman who would never stir up trouble herself. This was the first ti that she had been pointed at and criticized for wearing revealing clothes in front of so many people; she felt so wronged that she almost shed tears.
When she got ho and Father Wang saw that she was bleeding, he was so angry that his black-rimd glasses fell off! The old man straightaway called the police — if there was a problem, you should always call the police!
Within a radius of fifty li around East Huang Road, there was only one cultivation police station, which was idle most of the ti. Since fewer people lived in the outskirts, they didn't even have cases of petty theft, which had given rise to a very bad habit of "laziness" in the police departnt.
It was already two hours after Mother Wang had returned ho and the old man had made a report so that the police could co to the house to take a statent...
Just when Father Wang started to beco a little impatient, the doorbell rang.
A police officer in uniform was at the door with a small notebook in his hand.
The police officer looked at Father Wang. "Was it your family that called the police?"
Father Wang: "Yes, but it was my father who made the call."
The police officer looked at the old man next to Father Wang. "...So this is...?"
The old man nodded. "That's right, I'm the one who called the police. I'm your uncle 1 ."
Police officer: "..."
As the three sat down, Mother Wang gave the police officer a glass of water. He looked at the injury on Mother Wang's head. "Is this the victim?"
The old man got very emotional. "Yes! This is my daughter! She was felt up and even hit on the subway! When you find out who he is... I'll definitely use zhan yi shi ba die 2 to 'feel' him to death!"
Father Wang: "..."
Police officer: "..."
"Don't get excited, Grandfather Wang." The policeman took out his police identification. "Look, my surna is also Wang, so we're from the sa clan. Please believe that I will properly handle the problem for you."
Father Wang and the old man looked at the police code on his identification paper: SB12138...
Officer Wang was a little embarrassed and explained, "East Huang Road is in the north of Songhai city. For short, it is... SB 3 ."
The old man and Father Wang nodded accommodatingly. "Well then, Officer Wang, ask whatever you want."
Officer Wang straightened his collar. "I have a lot of experience in handling cases. We receive sixty police alerts a year in our area, and I handle half of them! Sirs can rest assured!"
With that, Officer Wang looked at Mother Wang. "I suggest that you get an injury assessnt done first, or you can take a picture of the injury, as it will all be evidence later! But now, let's take a statent first... Madam Victim, do you rember the specific ti?"
Mother Wang answered truthfully, "It was between four and five o'clock in the afternoon when I was on my way back from grocery shopping. It happened on the subway."
Officer Wang nodded, jotted down so notes in his little notebook and then looked up. "This is the afternoon rush hour, isn't it normal for buttocks to be pressed together? Perhaps the other party didn't an to do it?"
The old man pulled out a black iron kitchen knife from under the sofa...
Officer Wang: "I see... let's assu that wasn't the case. Then, perhaps madam was wearing sothing a little too cool?"
The old man then took a whetstone out from under the coffee table...
Officer Wang: "Well... it's almost sumr in Songhai city, it's humid and stifling during the rainy season; it's very normal to wear short-sleeved shirts."
Officer Wang broke out in a bit of a cold sweat. "Then, excuse , Madam Victim, besides the bruise on your head, are you hurt anywhere else?"
Mother Wang: "That man kicked in the arm before the subway doors opened."
The old man added, "And this son of a bitch has a nasty mouth; my daughter was ntally traumatized."
Officer Wang nodded and stared at the little notebook in his hand. "Let's sort out the details of the incident. The victim, Mrs Wang, was on the subway between four and five o'clock on her way ho after grocery shopping when she was molested by a tattooed, burly man who later shoved her and cause her to bump her head. As he was getting off, he kicked Mrs Wang's left arm and verbally attacked and humiliated her. The attack was confined to the subway, and the whole cri took less than five minutes, until the other party got off. The situation is very clear..."
Grandfather Wang: "What do you think, Officer Wang?"
The experienced Officer Wang cupped his chin and nodded gravely. "From my years of experience in handling cases, this looks like a nasty case of underground subway groping."
Father Wang, Mother Wang and the old man: "..."
Officer Wang: "If you are determined to find this wandering hand, you will have to go through the standard legal procedure."
Father Wang: "What do we need to do, specifically?"
Officer Wang: "According to standard procedure, Mrs Wang was attacked at the East Huang North Road stop. So first of all, we local police station will file a case and open an investigation. We will then work with the Departnt of Urban Construction to obtain subway surveillance footage. Out of the millions of people that take the subway every day, we'll check possible suspects one by one. This is then followed by legal proceedings: the filing of a lawsuit, prosecution of the accused, the first hearing, a second hearing, the court trial... but from my many years of experience in handling cases, this is actually quite difficult to deal with; identifying the suspect is not easy as the subway is really too busy, unless soone directly recorded a video of the cri when it happened. And even if we do find a suspect, the entire process will take at least three years."
Grandfather Wang was very stubborn. "No matter how long the process takes, we must prosecute this person!"
But at this mont, the experienced Officer Wang shrugged his shoulders. "Regretfully, sirs, if you are determined to file a lawsuit, then I'm unable to take care of it... I don't have the authority to open an investigation."
Father Wang: "Didn't you say you're very experienced?"
The experienced Officer Wang nodded his head solemnly. "Yes, experience as a part-tir is indeed enriching."
Father Wang: "..."
Next to him, the old man was already sharpening his knife...
