Chapter 238: Irrefutable Evidence
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Liu Shi was stunned. “Harsh methods? I clearly didn’t do anything. Are you trying to force a confession out of me? Let me tell you, this is unconstitutional!!!”
Although Liu Shi did not know the law, he still understood that in this era, the police didn’t have the right to beat up anyone they liked so casually.
Soon, a police officer came to them and lowered his head to say something to Officer Song. Officer Song nodded, and the police officer left.
Officer Song said to Liu Shi, “If the evidence adds up, even if you don’t admit it, you will be held culpable based on that alone. The evidence: the watch was on you. Xia Wan can testify that she saw you and Chen MO getting rough. She’s the witness, so now that we have enough evidence of your theft, we can arrest and sentence you according to the relevant laws and regulations.”
“No, it’s not like that!” Liu Shi desperately explained. “I really didn’t steal Chen MO’s watch!”
However, no matter how he tried to explain himself, Officer Song did not believe him. Liu Shi had come to the police station many times, and many of them were because of theft. Therefore, Officer Song was not surprised that he had indeed stolen Chen MO’s watch.
Officer Song was even a little happy. An existence like Liu Shi was a cancer in society. If he were allowed to mingle, there would only be more victims on the street.
However, Liu Shi’s crimes were not considered serious. At most, he would be locked up for two days. However, this time was different. Chen MO’s watch involved a huge amount of money. According to the current law, Liu Shi could be sentenced to a few years.
Liu Shi saw that he could not explain himself. Suddenly, he had an idea and said, “I know. Can’t we get the person who reported the case to issue a letter of understanding now? Let me talk to Chen MO and get him to issue one.
“I’m still young, I don’t want to stay in prison for so long. I know I was wrong!” As he spoke, Liu Shi even began shedding a few tears.
If it was someone else who showed such regret and fear, Officer Song might really sympathize with them and try to persuade the person who reported the case to give the other party a chance, but this person was Liu Shi.
Officer Song had dealt with him many times and knew what kind of person Liu Shi was, so he did not immediately agree with his request.
However, according to the relevant procedures, Liu Shi did have the right to communicate with Chen MO and try to obtain his understanding.
Then Officer Song found Chen MO and expressed Liu Shi’s intentions to him.
Chen MO sneered. “This isn’t the first time he bullied Xia Wan. He must have done a lot of bad things in the village. Officer Song, you don’t have to talk to me about this anymore. I won’t issue a letter of forgiveness. You can sentence him however you want.”
Officer Song heaved a sigh of relief. He also felt that Liu Shi deserved his retribution.
Chen MO and Xia Wan were released after taking their statements.
Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, Xia Wan lowered her voice and said, “I didn’t see Liu Shi steal your watch. Instead, you took the initiative to stuff the watch into Liu Shi’s pocket, so you specially designed Liu Shi, right?”
Looking at Xia Wan’s bright eyes, Chen MO smiled dotingly and said helplessly,
“I didn’t expect you to see me even though I moved so quickly.”
Xia Wan raised her chin proudly. “Of course. Although we were fighting at that time, I still paid attention to the situation on your side.”
Xia Wan paused.
Chen MO smiled and said to Xia Wan, “What? Are you worried that I won’t be able to defeat them and will be bullied?”
Xia Wan pursed her lips, embarrassed to look at Chen MO again. “Of course not. I just feel that this matter has nothing to do with you. If you get hurt, I’ll definitely feel bad.”
Xia Wan continued, “You’ve helped us a lot today. You must come to our house for a meal before you leave. My mother will definitely want to thank you.”
Chen MO smiled slightly. “There’s no rush to eat. I learned a little about Liu Shi from chatting with the police officers. The watch theft can indeed put him in jail, but he has to have done a lot of evil in the village over the years.
“Since this is an opportunity, why don’t you sue him for all his crimes and let him stay in prison for a few more years? It’s best if he comes out only after you go to university so that he won’t appear in front of you from time to time and give you a headache..”
