Chapter 313: Female classmates’ contempt, a call from a big shot
Hong Qingfeng distorted the facts and told Director He the fabricated details of the case.
Other members of the Hong family echoed and testified to Hong Qingfeng's words.
The Hong family has used this tactic countless times.
Sometimes, the police at the police station are really fooled.
"Director He, you must severely punish this vicious criminal. At least sentence him to ten or twenty years in prison, so that we, the victims' families, will be satisfied."
Hong Qigong interrupted at the right time.
"Well, please rest assured, we police officers will definitely uphold fairness and justice and will never condone criminals. However, we will never wrongly accuse any good person."
Director He gave Hong Qingfeng enough face.
They are all high-ranking officials, especially Hong Qingfeng, who is very young and has great potential for advancement.
It is in Director He's interest to maintain a good relationship with him.
But Director He’s last sentence seemed to be full of deep meaning.
"Listen, all of you involved in the case, whether you are a victim or a witness, the police will call you in one by one to record your statements. Remember, everything you say will be recorded, and you must responsible for your words and deeds. If someone deliberately colludes and fabricates lies to deceive our police, this is illegal."
"We will pursue their legal responsibilities in accordance with the law."
Director He said to everyone with a serious face.
"Bring the perpetrator in and record his statement first."
Two policemen escorted Li Quan into the interrogation room. Li Tiezhu and his wife wanted to follow them in, but were stopped by the police.
Li Tiezhu and the Hong family were all waiting in the hall outside.
In the interrogation room, Li Quan sat on a specially made chair, feeling bitter in his heart.
This year has been really unlucky.
This is the second time I have been to the interrogation room of the police station.
Last time he was mistaken for a thief, and this time it was because of a fight.
Although he knew that he would be able to walk out of here with integrity soon and would not be punished, he still felt a little unlucky.
As a law-abiding citizen, no one wants to be called into the police station.
After being taken into the interrogation room, I thought the interrogation was about to begin.
As a result, there was no movement for a long time.
Of the two male policemen who escorted him in, one left and the other stayed, sitting opposite him, looking at him coldly.
"Comrade police, why haven't you started yet?" Li Quan couldn't help but urge.
He hadn't eaten all afternoon and was already hungry.
I was thinking about explaining what happened as soon as possible and going home to have dinner with my parents.
“Heh~!”
The male policeman was stunned for a moment and sneered.
He had interrogated hundreds of prisoners, but this was the first time he had seen such an "active" prisoner.
"Are you trying to get convicted as soon as possible and go to jail?"
The male policeman stared at Li Quan and asked.
"I haven't broken any law, so why should I go to jail? After you record my confession, I can go home and eat." Li Quan said seriously.
“Puff!”
The male policeman almost burst out laughing.
"Boy, you'd better behave yourself and stop talking so much nonsense here. You beat so many villagers and you still want to go home for dinner? After we have interrogated you and found out the facts of your crime, we will report it directly to the procuratorate for approval of your arrest. Then, after the procuratorate prosecutes you in court and sentences you, we will execute the sentence. In your case, you will be sentenced to at least three years."
"What you need to do now is to face reality, correct your attitude, and cooperate with our public security organs in investigating and collecting evidence."
The male police officer explained to Li Quanke the entire process from detaining the prisoner to arrest, sentencing and execution.
"I understand all this."
Li Quan is an undergraduate student after all, so he has some basic legal knowledge.
"It's good that you understand. When my colleague Qiu Fuya arrives, I will begin recording your statement. Now, you need to recognize your mistakes first."
After the male policeman finished speaking, he ignored Li Quan.
Instead, start preparing.
Qiu Fuya?
When Li Quan heard this name, the image of a high school female classmate appeared in his mind.
Could it be such a coincidence?
After graduating from high school, everyone went their separate ways. Those who were admitted to universities continued their studies in colleges. Those who were not admitted chose to study at junior colleges or to enter the workforce.
After Li Quan went to Shanghai to study, he had little contact with his former classmates and had no idea about their current situation.
There are many people with the same name and surname in the world, it can't be such a coincidence, right?
He prayed silently in his heart that it wasn't his high school classmate, otherwise it would be so awkward to meet in this way.
Not long after, a female police officer in uniform walked briskly into the interrogation room.
She has a short ponytail, delicate features and a heroic look.
"Huh?" The female police officer walked into the interrogation room, glanced at Li Quan's face, and her eyes suddenly widened.
There was a look of surprise on her face.
Li Quan's eyes were somewhat evasive, and the expression on his face became extremely unnatural.
What you fear will come true.
This female police officer was none other than his high school classmate.
"Fuya, you're here! The suspect has urged us several times. He wants us to help him record his statement as soon as possible." The male policeman greeted with a smile.
"What's your name?" Qiu Fuya stared at Li Quan and asked.
"Li Quan!" Li Quan's voice was as thin as a mosquito.
The male police officer thought that the confession recording had begun. He raised his eyebrows and shouted at Li Quan in a stern tone, "I'm asking you your name. Answer loudly."
"Li Quan!"
Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, he simply sat up straight and his voice became louder.
"You, you..." Qiu Fuya wanted to ask if Li Quan was her classmate.
"Yes, I am your high school classmate. I just didn't expect to meet in this way." Li Quan admitted openly. "Start recording your statement. I can leave after you finish."
Li Quan didn't bother to be polite with her anymore.
"Hey, kid, didn't I tell you just now? You beat multiple people to serious injuries, which is a criminal offense. According to legal procedures, after we investigate thoroughly, we will apply to the procuratorate to arrest you."
The male police officer said angrily.
"Then why don't you ask me why I hurt someone?" Li Quan curled his lips.
"I really didn't expect that after not seeing you for a few years, you didn't work hard after studying and give back to society. Instead, you ran back to your hometown and fought with others." Qiu Fuya 's tone could not hide her disappointment and regret for Li Quan.
"Begin recording your statement. Everything you say will be used as evidence in court. Please answer every question I ask honestly. Make sure you are truthful."
Qiu Fuya did not shield or show mercy to the offender just because he was her high school classmate.
It's just business as usual.
"Name!"
"Li Quan!"
"age!"
"twenty three!"
…
"Why did you hurt him?"
"Because they broke into my home with weapons and used force to force my parents to give up the homestead to them."
"who are they?"
"My neighbor, the butcher Hong, and his two sons, Hong Qingbao and Hong Qingfeng, and his two daughters-in-law."
"How many people did you injure in total?"
"Seven!"
Li Quan admitted it openly.
"Be more specific."
Qiu Fuya's eyebrows wrinkled slightly and her tone turned cold.
"I first beat up Hong the butcher and Hong Qingbao who broke into my house and committed murder. Then Hong the butcher's son found someone from the Hong family and came to my house to commit murder again, wanting to kill me and my family. I had no choice but to defend myself again and beat up the murderer again."
Li Quan pays great attention to details when choosing words.
You must say something that is beneficial to you.
"What did you use to hurt him?"
"Stick!"
"Besides you, who else injured the seven people?"
"No one else, just me."
"Li Quan, please answer my question truthfully. Can you alone defeat a group of people armed with weapons who broke into your house? This answer is obviously illogical and a complete lie."
"Just because you can't beat them doesn't mean I can't beat them either. At that time, in order to protect my family, I exploded with my inner strength and desperately beat down the five murderers who broke into my house. I scared off the other murderers and that's how I protected my parents."
"I have finished asking what I want to ask. Are you sure what you just said is true?"
"Um!"
"Sign it! Leave your fingerprint!"
Li Quan signed his name happily and put his fingerprint on it.
Qiu Fuya was even more disappointed with him.
Not only did this old classmate severely injure many people, but when he arrived at the police station, he was full of lies. He is simply hopeless.
"I've said everything I need to say. My beating of someone was self-defense. Can I go now?" Li Quan raised his handcuffed hands, meaning for the police to help him untie them.
"Do you think it's possible? No one would believe a confession full of lies like this. I really don't know how you studied in college? Don't you have any brains when you lie?"
Qiu Fuya mocked him unhappily.
Just then, the cell phone in Li Quan's pocket rang.
It was about 7:30 in the evening.
Who called? Could it be Han Dong? Or Sophie?
"Could you please uncuff me first so I can answer the phone?" Li Quan requested.
"I'm sorry, according to regulations, you can't answer the phone at this time. But we can answer the call for you and convey what you want to say." Qiu Fuya rejected Li Quan's request.
"Then please answer it for me!" Li Quan motioned for her to take out her phone herself.
Qiu Fuya's pretty face turned slightly red. It was a bit embarrassing for a girl like her to take something out of a man's trouser pocket.
Finally she came over and took out the cell phone from Li Quan's trouser pocket.
"It's someone from Han...Political Commissar Han who called. Do you want to answer it?"
She was shocked when she saw the name of the caller.
Because anyone who can be called political commissar will not have a low rank no matter where he is.
He is definitely a big shot that she, a grassroots police officer who has just been in the job for less than a year, needs to look up to.
She was very curious. Li Quan seemed to be doing very badly, so how did he know such an important person?
Nowadays, people choose names in all kinds of ways. Maybe someone just chose this name? Qiu Fuya never thought that Li Quan could know a big shot at the level of a political commissar.
The male police officer next to him was equally shocked.
"Please help me connect it. He may want to talk to me about something." Li Quan didn't know why Officer Han called him at this time.
Qiu Fuya answered the phone with great curiosity.
Before she could speak, the person on the other end of the phone said with a smile.
"Brother Li, how about I invite you to my house for dinner tonight? A fellow villager of mine happened to come to Shanghai for business, and my mother asked him to bring me bacon, local chicken and other good things. I asked your sister-in-law to prepare them and she is waiting for you to serve them. You are not allowed to refuse, this is my thoughtful gift..." Officer Han is also an impatient person.
As soon as the phone was connected, he couldn't wait to tell the story.
Qiu Fuya interrupted quickly.
"Hello, I'm Qiu Fuya, a police officer from the Tiaoma Town Police Station. The person you're looking for is being interrogated and cannot answer your call directly. If you have anything to say, I can pass it on for you."
Qiu Fuya had great respect for the person on the other end of the phone.
Although she suspected that this Political Commissar Han might just be a person's name rather than a job title.
"Dr. Li was arrested by your police station? Is he being interrogated? What crime did he commit? Also, there doesn't seem to be a place called Tiaoma Town in the Magic City. Which police station are you from?"
Officer Han asked a series of questions.
"Ah... Doctor Li? He's a doctor."
Qiu Fuya originally thought that Li Quan was just an unemployed vagrant, but she didn't expect that Political Commissar Han, who spoke with great dignity, actually called the other party Doctor Li.
Judging from the tone of Political Commissar Han, he is undoubtedly working in Shanghai.
In addition, Qiu Fuya had worked in the police station for almost a year and had accumulated a lot of experience in dealing with people.
The man on the other end of the line spoke in a steady, authoritative voice.
Even Director He doesn't have this kind of invisible majesty.
She was almost certain that this Political Commissar Han was a big shot in the system, and it was definitely not just someone who happened to give him such a strange name.
"Hello, we are from the Tiaoma Town Police Station in the...province...city. Your friend has injured many people and is currently under investigation at our police station."
Qiu Fuya hesitated for a moment before answering the other party's question.
"Is that so? Um... I'm Han Fei, the deputy political commissar of the North District Public Security Bureau of Mo City. I'm a friend of this Doctor Li Quan. When you're done with the investigation, give me feedback on the results. Is that ok?"
"Don't get me wrong. I have no intention of interfering with your investigation. I just want to know the final result."
Officer Han said to Qiu Fuya.
"I can't make the decision on this matter. Please wait a moment. I'll ask the leader for instructions!"
Qiu Fuya's heart beat faster. Li Quan's friend turned out to be a big shot in the Magic City Public Security Bureau.
Moreover, the other party has a very good relationship with Li Quan.
Even the fact that Political Commissar Han invited Li Quan to his home for dinner was meant to please and express gratitude.
Isn't Li Quan just an ordinary college student from a mountain village? What ability does he have to befriend such a big shot?
She found that she seemed to have made a big mistake.
I underestimated this old classmate.
She quickly ran out of the interrogation room to find Director He to ask about the matter.
Outside, the Hong family's men, as well as Li Tiezhu and others were waiting to be interrogated. They saw the female police officer running out with a panicked look on her face, holding a cell phone in her hand.
They were all very curious.
What happened?
Qiu Fuya didn't have time to pay attention to these people's surprised looks. She rushed directly into the director's office.
"Director He, Director He... I have something I must consult with you!"
"Xiao Qiu, don't be anxious, tell me slowly if you have something to say!"
Director He is the top leader here, and he is also a man who has been through many storms.
Although I can't say that I can remain calm even when the sky is falling, at least I can keep my composure when encountering things.
"Just now a friend of the suspect Li Quan called. He asked us to report the results to him after we have interrogated Li Quan."
Qiu Fuya said urgently.
"Nonsense! The results of our police station's interrogation of prisoners are confidential. Why tell Li Quan's friends? You should just refuse this kind of thing directly. Why are you so panicked and come to me? You need to practice more and don't make such a low-level mistake next time."
Director He looked unhappy.
"This friend of Li Quan is the political commissar of the North District Bureau of Demon City. Then I will follow your instructions and reject him now."
Qiu Fuya was scolded and she didn't dare to say a word back.
"What? Who are you saying is Li Quan's friend?" Director He stood up in shock.
"The political commissar of the North District Branch of Demon City."
Qiu Fuya felt very happy when she saw Director He's frightened look. She wanted to laugh, but she didn't dare to.
Director He had just scolded her for being useless and making trouble, but now looking at Director He, he seemed to be even more panicked than her.
