Chapter 209: You've All Learned to Answer First, Haven't You? (Seeking Monthly Votes)

Zhou Yi brought the notebook in front of Lao Xu; Lao Xu was not at all surprised that Zhou Yi would produce evidence.

One could even say that it was entirely possible for him to produce any other evidence regarding a crime right now.

The reason was simple: this was a ruthless person.

However, for Lao Xu, whether or not he was a ruthless person had nothing to do with him; on the contrary, he was very interested in this theft case...

After all, if the evidence was sufficient, what did this amount to? It amounted to Zhou Yi in front of him having prepared all the ingredients, and he only needed to put them in the pot to cook.

No matter who it was, they wouldn't refuse such a situation!

Taking the notebook, Lao Xu began to watch the video, comparing it to Li Hua in front of him as he watched.

Li Hua inside felt that something was wrong; she knew there was no Monitoring video here, yet the other party had actually produced evidence!

"Huahua, tell me, did you really steal someone else's takeout?" Pan Rui, standing to the side, also asked in disbelief.

A look of impatience appeared on Li Hua's face: "What's the matter? You believe them and not me? I already said I took it by mistake."

"But..." Pan Rui wanted to say something, but he still closed his mouth.

Although Li Hua was uneasy, she wasn't afraid; who told you to put it outside? If you hadn't put it outside, I couldn't have taken it by mistake.

On this side, after watching for a moment, Lao Xu felt something was wrong: "Zhou Yi, isn't the resolution of your Monitoring video a bit too high?"

If this were posted online, I would believe you if you said it was a web drama filmed on purpose; how could Monitoring video have such high resolution? It's truly the kind where you can even see the hair clearly.

Zhou Yi smiled upon hearing this: "No, no, our Monitoring has been broken for some time, so we are using cameras to replace the Monitoring."

"Cameras?" Lao Xu was stunned: "The kind of camera with the lens that was smashed by that brat last time?"

"Yes, yes, yes, you still remember."

Of course I remember, that's a lens worth tens of thousands; how much of my salary would that cost?

And then you just left it on the table like that, without even putting the cap on...

To actually use that kind of camera and that kind of lens to replace Monitoring this time—looking at the angle of this video, this must be at least three cameras.

Nothing more to say; anyway, even more outrageous things could be done by this Zhou Yi, and this was just child's play now.

"You said your Company—what is your relationship with this Company?" Lao Xu asked casually while watching the video.

Zhou Yi didn't speak; not far away, He Ling had already stepped forward and smiled: "Officer, this is our Tengda Company's Chairman, President Zhou!"

"You are the Chairman? Your Company's takeout was stolen, and the Chairman came to find evidence himself?" Lao Xu was truly convinced now.

He had been a police officer for so many years and had never encountered such a Company leader.

"Ahem, Officer Xu, please don't laugh at me. I'm the only idle person in this entire Company; I can't carry anything on my shoulders or lift anything with my hands, and I'm bored all day long."

"So, of course, I have to do some things that others can't do."

This was Zhou Yi's current thought; in the end, everyone was actually busy, and only he wasn't, so it was just something done in passing.

Lao Xu sighed; this level of awareness was truly beyond words.

He continued watching the video; in fact, he could already be certain now that this Li Hua in front of him had indeed committed Theft!

They had filmed the process of her stealing the takeout clearly, and there was other evidence, such as the Employee ordering the corresponding takeout, as well as witness testimony from the merchant and the takeout delivery person.

Adding this series of evidence together, one could handle the case directly without a confession, but she still had to be brought back for questioning.

Because Zhou Yi had said before that the takeout theft had been going on for a while; this didn't necessarily mean it was definitely this Li Hua who stole it.

But she definitely had a high degree of suspicion, it was just that the evidence was hard to find.

Finally, the video was finished; Lao Xu signaled to the apprentice behind him, then walked forward and looked at Li Hua:

"This comrade, your name and ID number."

Li Hua hurriedly said upon hearing this: "Officer, I really just took it by mistake. They left so much takeout piled up outside, I just didn't see it clearly."

Lao Xu shook his head and said: "We already have sufficient evidence here to prove that you have come to steal takeout every day for the past three days!"

"So I am now summoning you to come back to accept an investigation; please cooperate."

As he spoke, Lao Xu pointed to his chest and said: "This is my police badge, and here is my identification."

What? Li Hua was stunned upon hearing this; how could the other party have evidence of her coming to take takeout before?

"That's impossible, Officer, did they make a fake video? The Monitoring here can't capture it!" Li Hua explained hurriedly.

And beside her, her boyfriend Pan Rui was even more dumbfounded; he never knew that his girlfriend, who was so beautiful and gentle, would actually steal takeout!

Why would she go steal takeout? It's not like she was short of that little bit of money for takeout.

Pan Rui couldn't figure it out, but at this moment, he couldn't watch his girlfriend being taken away; at the very least, he had to ask clearly first.

"Officer, this, can you let us see that video first? Otherwise, for no reason at all..."

Before he could finish, Lao Xu swept a stern look over, and that gaze made Pan Rui close his mouth immediately.

"If you have questions about the evidence of this case or my law enforcement, you can file an Administrative Reconsideration with the local government or the higher-level Public Security Department, but please cooperate with my law enforcement now!"

Zhou Yi was a bit speechless; was this man's brain broken from being infatuated?

He actually proposed wanting to see the evidence in front of the police!

What an international joke; do the police need to prove things to you when handling a case?

Lao Xu looked at Li Hua again and said: "So, please cooperate with my law enforcement; I need to take you back now."

"No, comrade, this isn't right. When my takeout was stolen before, you came to investigate and said this was a blind spot for Monitoring; how could there be Monitoring video now!"

Li Hua kept shouting.

Lao Xu shook his head, confirmed again that the Law Enforcement Recorder on his chest was fine, and then said:

"Now, tell me your name and ID number, and I am issuing you your first Warning!"

It is the same thing: if you have questions about the behavior in between, you can take legal channels to conduct an Administrative Reconsideration, or go to the Court to conduct an Administrative Litigation.

But when the police are enforcing the law, you must cooperate; if you do not cooperate, according to regulations, coercive measures can be used after three Warnings.

"No, why? Why did you say it was a Monitoring blind spot and couldn't capture anyone when my takeout was stolen, and now there is evidence!"

"What is this? Is law enforcement being discriminatory now? I don't care, this isn't how you bully people."

"Second warning, please cooperate with my work!"

It wasn't that Li Hua didn't understand human speech; she just felt it was unfair, and because she often scrolled through short videos, she felt that the police didn't seem to dare to use coercive measures.

After all, it often happens that law enforcement officers are scolded onto the trending topics because of some video, ending up having to apologize or something.

"Pan Rui, film it! If they take me away, what will we do if they just make things up later!" Li Hua shouted to her boyfriend beside her.

Pan Rui was helpless and could only take out his phone to film.

"Stop warning me, come and arrest me then. I really can't wrap my head around it; my takeout was stolen and you couldn't find anything, so how do you have evidence now? Go ahead, arrest me!"

Lao Xu sighed, signaled to the apprentice behind him, and then said, "Third warning, please cooperate with my work."

After speaking, seeing that the other party was still standing there, he did not hesitate any longer.

The two stepped forward and instantly controlled Li Hua with extreme speed, and the Silver Bracelets were quickly put on.

Nowadays, there are always people who spend too much time online and think that the police arresting people is just joking with them.

For example, some people have such thoughts.

Only after the other party uses coercive measures do they realize that they never joke.

Li Hua was still struggling constantly, but she sobered up instantly after seeing the Silver Bracelets.

"This, this is... Officer, I, this..."

Suddenly, she became extremely nervous, to the point where she couldn't even speak.

Pan Rui was a bit anxious now, and just as he was about to speak, Lao Xu had already said, "Comrade, you can film the video; Public Opinion Supervision is the right of every citizen."

"But you cannot take the video out of context and upload it to the internet; that is an illegal act!"

Lao Xu felt it was necessary to say this; his colleagues often encountered this situation during past law enforcement.

People would directly film them arresting someone, post it online, and say, "Look, the law enforcement officers are beating people."

This is just like the Small Essay of today; there is no cause or effect, nothing at all, yet it can cause huge public opinion.

So now, when they enforce the law, the Law Enforcement Recorder must be confirmed to be in good working order.

"Take her away!"

Soon Li Hua was taken into the car, but Pan Rui slowly sobered up.

He discovered that he didn't seem to really understand his girlfriend...

The person was taken away, and along with her, the video copied by Zhou Yi, as well as Zhou Yi himself and Yuan Jianhua.

They were the victims of the theft, so they also had to go back to give a statement.

In the car, Lao Yuan was exceptionally happy now.

"Mr. Zhou, thank you so much, thank you for taking the time specifically to find the person who stole the takeout."

He was excited the moment he saw Li Hua being put in Handcuffs; although it is said that men's values follow their looks, you have to look at the situation.

To the victim, what does it matter if you look like a celestial being?

It has nothing to do with him anyway.

On the contrary, the anger he felt when his takeout was stolen for two consecutive days still hadn't faded.

Zhou Yi waved his hand and smiled: "Small matter. Actually, you all need to pay attention to these things in the future."

"For petty theft, don't always think it's not a big deal, or feel it's too much trouble and not do anything; you must let them receive some education."

"Okay Mr. Zhou, no problem. I'll go back as soon as I finish the statement and work overtime today to finish my work!"

After the detailed statement was finished, the worker went back to work, and Boss Zhou went home to sleep.

What is reality? This is reality. Remember, the boss only sleeps four hours a day!

Under normal circumstances, for those taken away from the scene like this, their family members are notified; Pan Rui was, of course, not a family member.

In fact, the woman's family didn't even know such a person existed.

Three hours later, in a teahouse in Guangming District, Li Guoliang was leisurely brewing tea.

He was the owner of this teahouse; the business couldn't be called huge, but compared to others, he certainly had some money.

"Mr. Li, I'm being serious. Look, my son graduated from a good university and now has a job, so let him get to know your daughter."

The man opposite Li Guoliang smiled.

"Mr. Zhang, I would be very willing, but you don't know my daughter; her temper is really not good."

"I spoiled her since she was a child, and besides, everyone talks about free love now; she is quite resistant to the blind dates I arrange for her."

"It's fine, Mr. Li. Young people are all like that. Let them get to know each other; even if there's no fate in the end, being friends is good too," Mr. Zhang said, waving his hand.

"Besides, I've seen your Hua Hua; she's tall and pretty, a very good candidate. As for her temper, isn't it normal for a young girl to have a bit of a temper?"

Li Guoliang was just about to say something when his phone rang.

"Mr. Zhang, let me take this call first."

After saying that, he took his phone and walked to the window to check the caller ID; it was a landline.

"Hello, who is this?"

"Hello, may I ask if this is Mr. Li Guoliang?" a strange voice said from the other side.

Li Guoliang nodded: "It is me, may I ask who you are..."

"Oh, I am from the Renmin Road Police Station. Your daughter, Li Hua, has been detained for suspected Theft."

Hmm... what?

Li Guoliang's originally peaceful mood was shattered instantly.

"What did you say? My daughter is suspected of Theft? That's impossible, is there a mistake? It's not like my family doesn't have money!"

The voice was quite loud, and Mr. Zhang, who was sitting at the tea table drinking tea, heard it.

Mr. Zhang's ears immediately perked up. Li Hua, Theft?

How is that possible? He knew this Mr. Li; although the other party couldn't be considered a big boss, his conditions were decent.

He certainly raised his daughter in luxury; even though she is working now, her pocket money has never been cut off.

How could she possibly commit theft!

But if it really was a notification from the Police Station, then it is hard to say...

The police officer on the other end said in a very calm tone: "Mr. Li, the law will not wrong a good person, but it will not let a bad person go either. Your daughter is suspected of Theft, and the evidence is currently sufficient."

Sufficient evidence...

Li Guoliang felt as if he had been struck in the heart with a hammer; he wanted to say something, but he did not know how to say it.

After asking about the situation a bit more, Li Guoliang hung up the phone; the best course of action now was to first clarify the situation!

Walking to the table, President Zhang hesitated for a moment before asking: "President Li, is it about Li Hua?"

Li Guoliang nodded: "Yes, Li Hua, she was arrested, they said she committed Theft; don't you think that's ridiculous? I just gave her a lot of money this month."

President Zhang stopped mentioning the blind date entirely, putting on a worried expression as he said: "President Li, for now, we should clarify the situation; how about we hire a Lawyer to go and ask?"

"And I can help you inquire about the situation on my end as well."

Li Guoliang nodded again; he did not believe his daughter would steal things, because there was simply no reason to.

"I am going to hire a Lawyer right now!"

Inside the Police Station, Li Hua sat on the Regret Chair; she felt like she was dreaming right now.

"Name."

"Li Hua."

"ID number."

"..."

This time, she had already started answering before the questions were even finished.
