Chapter 287: There Must Be a Misunderstanding, My Dad Is So Old

"Who is it? Dad, did you invite any other friends?"

Liu Hongxia asked with a smile on her face.

Liu Hongjun scratched his head, feeling a bit strange, but still said, "I didn't invite anyone, but maybe a neighbor is coming. Go open the door and see."

The others didn't find it strange either; after all, at this age, it's normal for friends to be willing to visit on a birthday.

Although Liu Hongjun's relationship with his neighbors wasn't actually very good.

Liu Hongxia got up and walked over to open the door, while calling for the children running around to stop.

This was just a normal family, three generations sitting together eating, celebrating an elder's birthday.

A happy family; it was clear that Liu Hongjun really loved his grandson.

Liu Hongxia walked to the door, where the knocking was still continuing outside. With a hint of impatience on her face, she said, "Who is it? Stop knocking, stop knocking, I'm opening the door right now!"

As she spoke, she opened the door and said casually, "Let me see who this is, this... Li Zhuren, what are you, what are you doing here?"

Because standing at the door were none other than their Community Office director and several police officers beside him.

Li Zhuren looked at the police officers beside him and said, "It's Hongxia, right? Is your dad home?"

Even if Liu Hongxia were slow-witted, she felt something was wrong by now: "Li Zhuren, today is my dad's birthday, he is home, but what are you... are you looking for him for something?"

"Hongxia, let your dad come out first; these officers are here to ask your dad about a situation."

It wasn't that they were worried about anything, but mainly because they saw children in the house, and Liu Hongjun was their grandfather; it wouldn't be good to arrest a grandfather in front of his grandchildren.

Although our law enforcement departments say that law enforcement must be strict, they still show human touch when appropriate.

This includes the times they tried again and again to save face for Liu Xu when arresting him.

It also includes times when arresting young people, if they encounter a situation where an elder is in poor health, they will take appropriate measures to keep it from them.

But Liu Hongxia didn't think about these things, because subconsciously, she didn't believe her sixty-year-old father would commit any crime.

"What 'situation'? My dad is having his birthday today, isn't he, Li Zhuren? What exactly is going on?"

Inside the room, Liu Hongjun didn't know the situation outside. Seeing that Liu Hongxia had been opening the door for a while and was still talking outside, he couldn't help it and shouted toward the door:

"Hongxia, who is it? Is there something up? If not, hurry back to eat, otherwise the food will get cold."

"Dad, this, it's Li Zhuren, and he brought a few police officers, saying they have something to talk to you about," Liu Hongxia said directly without thinking.

"Looking for me for something?" Liu Hongjun was stunned when he heard this: "What could they want with me? Let them in. If there's something to say, just say it directly, don't play games."

At the door, Liu Hongxia said, "You heard him, Li Zhuren, come on in. If there's something, let's just say it directly."

After saying this, she walked back into the house.

Behind her, Li Zhuren and the lead police officer exchanged glances, shook their heads, and then followed her in.

"Tell us, what's going on, Li Zhuren? And these officers, why are you looking for my dad?" Liu Hongxia asked again.

Liu Hongjun's son, who was sitting nearby and had already had a few drinks, also spoke up: "That's right, just say it if there's something. Could my dad have committed some crime?"

"That's impossible. The old man spends his days at home playing on his phone, at most going out for a stroll."

The group of people sitting at the table all looked at the police officers. No one thought Liu Hongjun could commit a crime; he did have a bad temper, and it had been that way since he was young, and his relationship with the neighbors was not good.

But at this age, what else could he do?

Li Zhuren didn't speak, and the lead police officer stepped forward and said, "Liu Hongjun, male, ID number... is that you?"

After receiving an affirmative answer, he continued: "I am from our local Police Station. We are here today mainly to take you back for investigation."

Then he pointed to his chest: "This is my police badge number."

He spoke in a very flat tone. After all, as an experienced police officer, he had conducted this type of summons and arrest many times, and he didn't have any second thoughts because of the other person's age.

In the eyes of the police, there is never a distinction between good people and bad people based on age or occupation.

Must an elder be a good person? Where did that idea come from? The police officers have seen plenty of old crooks!

People imagine that elders are respectful and kind, that they are all benevolent and kind-hearted; that is really thinking too much.

A bad person who grows old is still a bad person. If they did evil when they were young, will they necessarily turn over a new leaf when they are old?

However, Liu Hongxia and the people at Liu Hongjun's table were stunned.

Although the other party said they were taking Liu Hongjun back for investigation, in this day and age, who doesn't know what being taken away for investigation means!

Liu Hongjun didn't speak, but Liu Hongxia was already very surprised and said, "Officer, you must have made a mistake, right? My dad broke the law? Why take him back for investigation? He just plays on his phone and goes online at home. You must have made a mistake."

Surprise was surprise, but actually, no one was anxious yet, thinking it must be a mistake.

An old man who is no longer young, and suddenly the police come to say they are arresting him—how is that possible?

The police officer shook his head and said, "It is confirmed to be Liu Hongjun. Now, please come back with us for investigation, and also, please hand over your phone."

In fact, the existing evidence already confirmed that the person who posted online as "Chenchen Sleeps Bingbing" was him. This step was just to make the evidence more solid.

To be honest, when they first found out that the person with that flashy screen name and even flashier posts was Liu Hongjun, the local colleagues in Modu were all dumbfounded.

They thought it was impossible. Could it be like before, where someone else stole his ID?

That kind of thing is very common.

But, one account's posts might not explain the problem, but by summarizing the posts from that pile of accounts, one could find clues.

Now, taking the other party's phone for investigation, the evidence and everything else pointed very clearly!

Fortunately, everyone was well-informed, so they quickly accepted this point, just feeling strange. They had originally thought this account was a "walking five hundred thousand," but it turned out to be a sixty-year-old man.

What was he thinking, scolding people like that online? Many people thought he was a young girl!

"Let's go!"

Liu Hongjun was already stunned. He knew his own business; before this, he had indeed used that account called "Chenchen Sleeps Bingbing" to insult that internet novel author in all sorts of ways.

Of course, he didn't do this for any other reason; he simply did it for his own amusement.

In the eyes of many young people, morality is used to restrain oneself, not to demand things of others.

But in the eyes of some elders, it is different. They came from that era, so they often use morality to demand things of others. Of course, they also demand it of themselves, but there is a small group of people who demand it of others but not of themselves.

For example, on a bus, young people feel that they are also tired, but they can take the initiative to give up their seats.

But if you are trying to force me to give up my seat, then I'm sorry, that won't work!

Liu Hongjun was a street hoodlum when he was young, or to put it bluntly, a rogue; as he grew older, his true nature never changed, and he would often get into arguments with neighbors over trivial matters.

He used such screen names online, and sometimes spoke in the tone of a girl, because by chance, he discovered that by pretending to be a girl, he could often stand on the moral high ground to attack others.

Thus, he became obsessed with this enjoyment, cursing one person after another online, his identity constantly changing; one moment he might be a college girl who had just started university, and the next, a successful person who had been working for many years.

But he only had one thought in his mind now: that loser author, did he really file a lawsuit?

Why, though? He was just making a joke, how did it end up like this?

When he replied back then begging the other party to sue, it was really just a casual remark.

He had said such things countless times on Zhalang before, and every time he encountered someone who presented facts, reasoned, or talked about the law, he would say that.

Because he just couldn't stand those people; "Law or no law, I don't care, go ahead and sue then."

It's the internet, just a casual remark, are you really going to sue?

Unexpectedly, the police showed up to make an arrest so quickly!

This left Liu Hongjun completely stunned on the spot; his brain couldn't process it, and he couldn't figure out why the other party would actually sue.

The police were trying to take him away, and he struggled; he didn't want to go, thinking that at his age, the other party couldn't possibly really do anything.

On the other side, seeing them about to take her father away, Liu Hongxia blocked the doorway.

"No, comrades, let's get this straight. My dad is at this age and rarely even leaves the house, he just plays on his phone at home. Can playing on a phone be a crime? You have to give us a reason!"

"Exactly, comrades, the police can't just arrest people for no reason!" Liu Hongjun's son also shouted there.

Many relatives were also whispering; the commotion was a bit loud, and the neighbors across the way had also come out to watch the spectacle.

Seeing that Liu Hongxia still wanted to say something, the police officer checked their Law Enforcement Recorder and said again: "Please everyone stay calm. Liu Hongjun is suspected of Defamation and Insult against others online, and a Criminal Private Prosecution has already been filed against him by the other party. We need to take him back for investigation now, so this is your first Warning: please do not obstruct the normal execution of the law!"

This actually counted as an explanation, and it was really giving them face.

Otherwise, should I say that your father, at this age, pretends to be a female college student to chat with people online?

To put it in one sentence: this person plays much wilder online than his children who only know how to work and earn money.

But obviously, the children didn't know.

Liu Hongxia and the other relatives were stunned; was it really a problem caused by playing on a phone?

But... they still wanted to argue a few more points, but found they couldn't speak.

Liu Hongjun was still prepared to resist and not leave, shouting repeatedly: "What are you doing? I didn't do anything, why should I go back with you!"

As a result, the lead police officer didn't waste any words at all and pulled out the Silver Bracelets directly.

Liu Hongjun was immediately frightened and obediently followed the few police officers away.

Li Zhuren was also going to follow, but was quickly blocked.

"What are you doing?"

"Li Zhuren, we are all neighbors, can you tell us what is going on? How did my dad suddenly commit a crime?" Liu Hongxia asked hurriedly.

Li Zhuren shook his head: "I don't know much either, I just received a call today asking to cooperate with them in carrying out their mission. As for your dad, didn't they just say it? It's about something online, Defamation and Insulting others online."

"Then the other party filed a Criminal Private Prosecution, so your dad is arrested now."

"I suggest you find a Lawyer to ask. I heard it's actually not about something in our Modu, but a place under Handong Province Luzhou City, it seems to be Jingnan City. You can consult a Lawyer."

After finishing, Li Zhuren also hurried away; he didn't want to deal with this family even more now.

A perfectly good sixtieth birthday banquet, the protagonist had been arrested, so what was the point of celebrating.

The little brat didn't know what had happened, but seeing that the adults were all very serious, he wanted to liven up the atmosphere and shouted: "Eh, was Grandpa taken away by the police uncle? Grandpa told me before that police uncles shoot people."

"Will Grandpa be shot?"

Slap! A loud slap rang out. The little brat looked at the person in front of him; he couldn't imagine why his father, who had always doted on him, would hit him.

His mouth pouted and he was about to cry, but then he saw his father, without hesitation, backhand him with another slap.

"If you dare to cry again, I'll hit you again!"

The little brat was so scared that his tears shrank back.

No one in the house spoke, and some of the other relatives were already looking for excuses to leave.

Finally, Liu Hongxia said: "Li Zhuren said it, should we find a Lawyer to consult?"

Suddenly encountering such a thing, no one had reacted yet.

And the same thing happened in Hannan Province. When the police comrades carried out the arrest of the person with the screen name "Ice Lemon Tea," even the well-informed police comrades couldn't stand it.

The house was full of leftover takeout, various insects were flying around in the summer, and that fermented smell made people feel nauseous; they didn't know how they could stay in the room.

Yes, this "Ice Lemon Tea," who was the person who directly replied to Pusa Xiong online asking him to sue, was also the one who, in the previous rhythm, took the lead in writing "Tonight We Are No Longer Silent," directing the spearhead directly from the original event to gender conflict.

But now the police comrades discovered that this "Ice Lemon Tea" was not one person, but three!

And they were three burly men with long leg hair; the one who used the "Ice Lemon Tea" account to post that day was a big fat man weighing over two hundred jin.

More importantly, they found multiple accounts with obvious female characteristics on their computers, and they looked like ones that had been operated for a long time, often posting beautiful selfies.

But that wasn't the point; the point was that the police comrades just took a look at the mobile phone and found a pile of male friends for these three, as well as various scripts.

This was a gang that pretended to be so-called "little fairies" and chatted with all kinds of men to scam money!

However, if they just wanted to scam money, why did they want to stir up such rhythm online? With curiosity, the police comrades directly started checking their bank accounts.

Anyway, since they were already there, if these three were really scammers, they would definitely have to check the accounts. As a result, it didn't matter if they checked, they actually discovered that these three accounts often had overseas funds entering!

Second chapter for sleep aid, good night everyone.

The story prototypes actually count as having some, including the one with overseas funds; usually, everyone jokes about "walking five hundred thousand," but if you go to the Judgment Documents Network to see, there are quite a few such cases.

Thanks to Wuque Nüyou wa, six hearts, thanks to the two big brothers for the tips, thank you.
