Just as they were about to leave, the manager of the self-service hot pot restaurant and four policemen suddenly came forward and stopped them as soon as they arrived.
The manager said: "It's just them."
The police looked at them, then at Ji Xiaohai behind them, and said, "We received a call saying that you were causing trouble in the restaurant and forcing people to commit suicide."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Who can call the police for so many things?" Liu Jinnuo jumped out and said angrily, "It's her fault that she likes to commit suicide. We didn't force her. We sent her to the hospital."
Ji Xiaohai came over and said: "I was also present at the time. I can prove that Sun Rongxuan's suicide had nothing to do with them. This is not the first time she has committed suicide."
Police: "But the person who called the police said that you were beating and scolding her around. We have opened a case for investigation. Please three of you go to the station with us."
Deng Xiaozhi defended and said: "Comrade police, why are you arresting us based on just a few words from someone's mouth?" She glared at the manager of the self-service hot pot restaurant and asked, "Do you know what the truth is? You
Did you hear us talking? How could you have seen us beating her three times?"
The manager retreated behind the police and whispered: "I didn't call the police, it was other customers who reported it. I just came here to identify it."
The policeman stood in front and roared in response to Liu Jinnuo and Deng Xiaozhi's anger: "If you want to explain, go to the police station and you will have the opportunity to explain. There are many witnesses and physical evidence including videos. The victim you bullied has already been arrested."
It was photographed.”
"That's none of her business," Liu Jinnuo pointed at Qiao Xinwei, "She has been sitting there honestly, how come she has become a suspect?!"
"That's right, it's reasonable to arrest us, but what's the point of arresting her? She's the one who breaks up the fight."
The police corrected him: "If you are not a suspect, I am asking you to go back and assist in the investigation. We still have to listen to the victim's confession."
Seeing that they were about to quarrel with the police, Qiao Xinwei immediately said: "Go, let's go together, this is the hospital, Arnold Xiaozhi, if anything happens, we will take care of it together."
——
It was late at night, and Liu Jinnuo and Deng Xiaozhi were still locked in a separate interrogation room. Qiao Xinwei also recorded a confession, but she had already come out.
She looked at the clock on the wall and saw that it was already eleven o'clock. It had been three hours since they arrived at the police station. They had said everything they needed to say. She really couldn't wait any longer, so she went to the police officer on duty and asked, "Comrade police."
"Excuse me, why haven't my two friends come out yet?"
The police officer looked at her and said truthfully: "You should go back first. They are suspected of intentionally injuring others and will not be released so soon."
Qiao Xinwei said in surprise: "What, intentionally hurting someone? You are mistaken, maybe. Sun Rongxuan committed suicide and it has nothing to do with them at all."
"The victim, Sun Rongxuan, said that they deliberately beat her and verbally abused her. She couldn't think of anything and chose to commit suicide. There are both witnesses and physical evidence, so we can't release her at the moment. You'd better hire a lawyer."
"This... then my confession is also evidence. It was Sun Rongxuan's bad conduct that led to the accusation. This was just a conflict between classmates at most. How could it be intentional to hurt someone?"
"Considering the relationship between you and the client, we only use your confession for reference. Miss Qiao, no matter how bad your character is, you can't beat people. I think you should go back. It's useless for you to argue with me here. Give her two
A better lawyer will help."
Qiao Xinwei was at a loss as she had never encountered anything like this before.
At this time, Jiang Hao suddenly walked in from the door, led in by the chief. The police officer on duty was surprised, stood up straight and saluted, "Hello, chief."
Qiao Xinwei looked back, "Jiang Hao," she ran over and threw herself into his arms, "Why are you here?"
Jiang Hao patted her back and comforted her, saying, "Do you know how worried I am if you don't come home so late? I let you go out to meet your friends, but you didn't even make a call. You really didn't remember anything."
Hold on to me."
"My phone ran out of battery after I sent you a message. How did you know I was here?"
"I went to wait for you outside Joy City. After waiting for a long time, I didn't see you coming out. I had to go up and ask. When I asked, I found out that something had happened. How come you, a woman, didn't know to come to me immediately when something happened? What on earth are you doing?
Do you take me to heart?" He cared about this very much.
Qiao Xinwei didn't have time to chat with him here, so she quickly said: "Two of my classmates are locked up, what should I do?"
The director asked about the situation. He had no other option but to release bail. "This case is not serious. It would be great if the victim is willing to settle. If she insists, she can only file a lawsuit. With the video of the beating, the chance of winning is very high. It is inevitable that she will be charged."
Make some compensation.”
Jiang Hao patted his chest and said, "I'll take care of this. I'm sure your friends won't suffer. Please go through the formalities quickly and let them go home."
When they walked out of the police station, Liu Jinnuo and Deng Xiaozhi felt like a friend in need was a friend indeed. There would never be anything good to do with someone like Sun Rongxuan. However, they could still talk and laugh without affecting their mood at all.
Liu Jinnuo glanced at Jiang Hao and said: "Xinwei, this is the Brother Bing you mentioned. Well, he is definitely better than Ji Xiaohai. Sun Rongxuan finally did a good thing, haha. Please introduce him to us quickly."
Qiao Xinwei was a little embarrassed, "He Jiang Hao...these two are my college roommates, Liu Jinnuo and Deng Xiaozhi."
Jiang Hao greeted them politely, "Hello everyone, I am very relieved to have such a loyal friend like you in my heart."
"Oh, Brother Bing is really good at talking. We are all embarrassed by what he said. Just don't blame us for causing trouble and causing Xinwei trouble."
"Of course not, but I don't think there's any need to fight with that kind of person. Staying away is the best way."
"Brother Bing is right, it's because we don't have this awareness."
Seeing Liu Jinnuo's flattering look, Qiao Xinwei waved her hand and patted her butt, "Can you say something normal?"
"Damn, you bad scoundrel, you dare to spank me, you don't want to live anymore, do you?!"
Jiang Hao was stunned for a moment, then laughed, put his arm around Qiao Xinwei's shoulders and said, "Hahaha, your friends are all cute."
Jiang Hao drove the two of them home one after another. It was so late and everyone needed to rest. He and Qiao Xinwei were the only two people left in the car. While driving, he touched her forehead and said, "You are tired.
Is it okay?”
Qiao Xinwei knocked his hand away and said, "It's fine."
"But why do I sound so pretentious?!"
"No." She turned her head towards the window. The night view outside did not shrink at all because it was getting late.
Jiang Hao sighed, "Don't always be disobedient. This matter is nothing today. I'll make an appointment with a lawyer tomorrow and think about it. When I get home, take a hot bath and have a good sleep. Don't forget that you still...
"
"Shh!" Qiao Xinwei frowned and glanced at him, then stuck out her index finger to cover his mouth, "Don't nag, I'm not a three-year-old child, I know my own body."
