Chapter 164: Legal Ignorance Is Terrible
After Lu Yiming gave his statement at the police station, he was taken home by Lu Ding and Ning Xuehua.
When Lin Xian and Lin Tuo finished recording their confessions and were writing the case files, Yue Zhedong unexpectedly discovered that both of their identities were fake.
There is no need to say more at this moment. Just stay in the interrogation room and tell the truth.
Outside the police station, Lu Yiming got into the car. Ning Xuehua hugged Lu Yiming and cried loudly, as if the most important treasure had been lost and recovered.
"You scared your mother to death..."
Lu Yiming put his arm around Ning Xuehua's shoulders and comforted her, "Okay, okay, Mom, I'm fine, right? I'm sorry for making you worry."
Lu Ding was naturally overjoyed that his son had returned safely, but he was also more confused in his heart: "I just received a letter from the robbers, saying that they wanted a ransom of 300 million yuan. Why did you come out of the police station? Did the police station solve the case all of a sudden?"
Lu Yiming's expression froze when he heard this, then he smiled bitterly and said, "That's not the case. It's a long story..."
But Lu Ding didn't have the patience: "Then tell me briefly."
Lu Yiming: "Okay."
"To put it simply, the person who wanted to rob me spent 2 million to find another person to kidnap me, and promised to give him 10 million later. As a result, in order to save money, this person spent 200,000 to find two migrant workers to carry out the kidnapping. Then last night I told the two migrant workers that I would give them 2 million each, so they took me away in the middle of the night."
Lu Ding and Ning Xuehua looked at each other in bewilderment.
Can even kidnapping be subcontracted these days?
It's totally off the mark.
Lu Ding couldn't help but ask: "Where are the two robbers?"
Lu Yiming nodded towards the police station and said, "He's locked up inside."
Ning Xuehua didn't care about these things. She thought it was enough for Lu Yiming to be safe. She urged him, "Go back and take a hot bath. You must be starving. I'll cook you a bowl of noodles."
The next morning, Lu Yiming ran to school as if nothing had happened.
But before leaving, he still called Zhao Tiezhu and asked him to provide close protection. After arriving at the school, he asked Zhao Tiezhu to return to Bi Hai Long Ting.
Lu Yiming thought, in the future he would not go out by himself unless necessary, and would not eat hotpot or sing. It was impossible for him to be robbed by bandits, right?
At noon, Yue Zhedong called.
"These two guys are very stubborn, and they specifically asked to communicate with you. Do you want to come over?"
Lu Yiming thought for a moment and said, "Send a car to pick me up."
In the interrogation room, Lin Xian and Lin Tuo were very excited when they saw Lu Yiming coming.
"You're a big liar."
"I don't trust you anymore."
"I thought you were a good person . You should have let that guy kill you yesterday."
The two of them cursed and swore at each other, and all kinds of dirty words came out of their mouths. Yue Zhedong shouted several times in a row, but neither of them showed any intention of stopping.
He said to Lu Yiming helplessly: "Look, they have been like this since last night. I have never seen criminals so arrogant."
Lu Yiming smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll talk to them, you go out and do your thing first."
Yue Zhedong nodded slightly: "Okay, call me if you need anything."
"Oh, right." Lu Yiming stopped Yue Zhedong and said, "Please ask someone to separate the two of them first. I will talk to them one by one."
"OK."
Soon, the two were separated, each in their own room, and they were far apart, so far that the other person couldn't hear them even if they shouted at the top of their lungs.
Lu Yiming came to Lin Xian's side first.
He always felt that Lin Xian seemed a little smarter than Lin Tuo.
There is a small window between Lu Yiming and Lin Xian.
Lu Yiming shook his head slightly and said with disappointment: "I thought you could figure it out last night. I really did it for your own good. But now it seems that you don't seem to understand my good intentions. Forget it, those are not important. I just want to ask you one thing - do you want to hide in the stinking ditch and be a rat that everyone shouts and beats for the rest of your life, or make amends, hold your head high and start a new life?"
"What's the meaning?"
Lin Xian's face revealed his distrust of Lu Yiming. After all, in his opinion, Lu Yiming had repaid their kindness with enmity early this morning.
Lu Yiming smiled slightly and said disapprovingly: "It means exactly what it says."
Lin Xian shouted, "What are you trying to do?"
Lu Yiming sighed, his eyes bleak: "What else can I do? You don't believe me, so there's no point in me explaining. I just want to ask you, did you really commit a crime before?"
"You... don't talk nonsense, it's not happening!"
Lin Xian's eyes were panicked for a moment, and although he tried his best to conceal it, he could not hide it from Lu Yiming's sharp eyes.
Lu Yiming gave him a meaningful look, and then he said to himself, "You refuse to agree, aren't you afraid that what you did will be exposed ? As long as you are willing to become a tainted witness, I can help you hire a good lawyer, apply for a commutation of sentence, and the money I promised to give you can also be transferred to your family so that they can have food and clothing without worries."
Lin Xian remained silent.
Lu Yiming was not in a hurry and spoke slowly: "Think it over. If I have to investigate your affairs, it will only be a little troublesome for me. It's not that I can't find out. Whether you say it or not, the result will be the same. But if you say it now and it's found out later, for you, those are two completely different results."
Lin Xian's expression was tangled for a while. After a long time, he finally sighed, lowered his head, and said: "I say..."
After Lin Xian's explanation, Lu Yiming learned that the two brothers did have a criminal record, and the man they stabbed was a village bully. He was arrogant and domineering in his daily life, and he always bullied his neighbors and fellow villagers. In the end, he bullied their family. The two men were so angry that they drew their knives.
Lu Yiming was speechless after hearing this.
"You resisted when the other party attacked you. This is at most excessive self-defense. Why are you running away? By the way, did you stab the other party to death?"
Lin Xian blinked his eyes, then stammered, "Well... we didn't pay attention at the time. When we saw the blood on the ground, we just wanted to run away..."
Lu Yiming couldn't help but gasp, and said earnestly: "So, reading a little bit of books is still very useful, at least you don't have to be illiterate and legally illiterate. If you didn't run away at that time, or even took the initiative to call the police, maybe you would not only not be a fugitive, but also a hero who eliminated harm for the people."
When Lin Xian heard this, he felt as if the sky had fallen: "Really...really?"
Lu Yiming sighed, "Why would I lie to you? Forget it, it's too late to say these things now. As long as you promise me to testify that Wu Jianhao - that is, the Wu Shao you are talking about, is the mastermind, then I can hire a lawyer to defend you. Not only can you be acquitted, but your criminal record can also be erased."
When Lin Xian heard what Lu Yiming said, he suddenly started crying.
All these years of grievances and anxiety turned out not to have hurt anyone, but simply because of a lack of understanding of the law.
No one can empathize with this kind of pain.
