Chapter 583: Are You Guys Scammers!

Zhou Yi hadn't known before that there were actually people "street-blasting" in Jingzhou City.

Of course, it could also be that he was ill-informed; after all, Jingzhou is a provincial capital, a place where hidden dragons and crouching tigers reside, and there are plenty of people with nothing better to do.

It's just that riding modified motorcycles in the middle of the night and roaring around like that feels like having a hole in one's brain.

Zhou Yi had originally felt his sleep quality was good enough, but this sound was terrifyingly loud, waking him up instantly and making his heart race wildly.

Zhou Xinran shook her head in bed and said, "It's happened before. This area is quite remote, so some people who like to mess around come here."

Hearing this, Zhou Yi turned his head and asked, "So the residents around here just watch? You don't do anything about them?"

"Big Brother, do you think everyone is like you? People have to work; calling or leaving a message to report the issue is the most they can do," Zhou Xinran laughed.

"But it quieted down after we reported it before; I just didn't expect it to start up again during the time I moved away."

Zhou Yi asked again, "Then according to the regulations, if these people are reported and caught, how are they handled?"

"Normally, it should be Administrative Detention and a fine, but you know, those who can afford to play like this are usually rich and don't care about a small fine, and Administrative Detention is only for a few days."

"But if they get caught enough times and have enough Administrative Detentions, it might involve the crime of Picking Quarrels and Provoking Trouble; I'm not too sure about that."

Zhou Xinran gave a rough explanation, and Zhou Yi understood. It was the same old problem: a lack of grassroots police force, and this kind of behavior usually happens in the middle of the night.

Everyone acts with a sense of luck, and combined with the intensity of the penalties, such behavior is repeatedly prohibited but never stops in many places.

If you look closely at some previous publicity documents, you will find that many times, things like this are only successfully rectified during various special campaigns.

Once the rectification ends, they lie low for a while, and then make a comeback. Street-blasting is like this, and those "half-hour romances" are the same.

"Forget it, let's sleep first." Zhou Yi pulled the curtains shut and then lay down.

As soon as he started to feel sleepy, suddenly, a few more rumbling sounds rang out!

The apartment Zhou Xinran rented was on a high floor, and as everyone knows, for residences near the road, the higher the floor, the greater the impact of outside noise.

This time, Zhou Yi felt like he almost gave himself a heart attack, and he was startled into a sitting position.

"This is endless, isn't it? Don't these people sleep?"

Beside him, Zhou Xinran was also woken up by the sound, and with a very unpleasant expression, she said, "What do these people think the street is? This is even louder than what I heard before."

Before Zhou Yi could even speak, the rumbling sound started up again below.

This time he really couldn't take it anymore. Zhou Yi started putting on his clothes directly. Zhou Xinran, who was beside him, was stunned for a moment and was just about to get dressed when she was stopped by Zhou Yi.

"Hey, Xinran, you don't need to go. It's late at night; just stay home and sleep."

There's no need for two people to go in this situation; it's not like filming a movie where you absolutely have to bring a girl along.

Hearing this, Zhou Xinran nodded obediently and went back to sleep.

After getting dressed and going downstairs, he checked the time; it was already past three in the morning. These people really know how to play; none of them are sleeping. Do they think their lives are too long?

After leaving the Small Residential District and reaching the roadside, Zhou Yi suddenly realized that his idea of being serious was a bit too wishful.

Although it is all noise, this is a different matter from upstairs noise. People are driving cars or riding motorcycles on the street, and he has no right to stop their vehicles.

If he did that, one careless move, and he, Zhou Mouren, might end up inside Treading the Sewing Machine with that group of people.

And with his connections in the detention center, if he went in, there would be acquaintances everywhere; he didn't even dare to imagine that scene...

After thinking for a long time, there didn't seem to be any way. Forget it, call the police.

It just feels like a waste of police resources to call the police for such a small thing in the middle of the night, but these street-blasters are really going a bit too far.

Calling the police naturally requires a response. After about ten minutes, a police car pulled over to the side of the road, and police officer Duan Renhong walked over with his apprentice, yawning.

He was on the night shift today; after all, he wasn't a young man anymore, so he would get sleepy on the night shift.

He wasn't surprised to receive this police report call; there are many people who call the police late at night, and there are all kinds of things.

Couples fighting, drunks causing trouble, fights, etc. —the night is truly lively.

It's just that he didn't expect the call transferred from the command center to say the reporter was on the side of the road, and he didn't see anyone there.

Just as he was puzzled, he saw a handsome guy suddenly run over from the side.

"Comrade, Comrade, you've arrived. I'm the one who called the police."

So he really was down here. Old Duan was very strange and said, "You're the one who called the police, right? Why are you running to the roadside in the middle of the night instead of sleeping at home?"

Zhou Yi, who was in front of him, shook his head and said, "Comrade, look, I live in this building. I was already asleep, but I was woken up by this sound below."

Old Duan nodded and said, "So you ran down here. It's useless for you to run down here while people are driving."

"I know it's useless, that's why I chose to call the police."

Old Duan turned to look at the road, which had very few vehicles, and then said, "Young man, there's not much we can do even if we come. We can't see any street-blasting cars right now."

Seeing that Zhou Yi didn't seem to understand, Old Duan explained roughly that they were not traffic police, so it was impossible for them to set up a roadblock on the road just because of this call.

As for checking Monitoring or anything else, it wasn't realistic. It was basically impossible to make the Public Security Bureau go to such great lengths to investigate based on just these few words.

So how would they investigate? Simple: report the problem. When more people call the police, then it counts as a problem, and only then will they specifically allocate forces to investigate.

After explaining the general situation, Zhou Yi said helplessly, "Comrade, so that means there's no way?"

Old Duan said helplessly, "You've seen it; I can definitely come when you call the police, but if I can't catch them in the act right now, I can't do anything. It's not like..."

However, before Old Duan could finish his sentence, Zhou Yi suddenly said excitedly, "Comrade, Comrade, look over there! There it is, there it is! There is a poor guy... no, a handsome guy is in luck!"

What the hell? What handsome guy is in luck? Old Duan was just about to say something when he heard a series of roars. He turned his head and saw about three guys on motorcycles rumbling toward them.

The three motorcycles were riding side by side on the street; they were truly arrogant.

Holy crap, it really is such a coincidence!

Old Duan hurriedly signaled his apprentice to get in the car. If he hadn't encountered them, so be it; he couldn't wait here forever. But since he had encountered them, he had to greet them!

Done. Zhou Yi wasn't worried that these people would run away. Are you kidding? In this country, once you're targeted, it's basically impossible to run away.

Go home and sleep.

There were no more street-blasting sounds after he went to sleep this time, but after all this tossing and turning, Zhou Yi felt he hadn't slept well at all.

He had come here for excitement, but ended up not even being able to sleep well.

Forget it, Zhou Yi decided to return to Guangming Peak Residential Quarter tomorrow.

Time quickly arrived at the next day; at the entrance of Building 16 in the Guangming Peak Residential Quarter, lanterns and colored streamers were hung, and an archway had even been set up at the entrance of the Small Residential District.

In Feng Jianhua's home, the husband and wife were full of excitement, talking incessantly with relatives and friends.

Their son had already taken his friends out to pick up the bride, and this could be said to be the happiest moment for them as parents.

However, among the relatives, there was always someone who would say something rather inappropriate.

"Your Small Residential District is fine in every way, except that parking is inconvenient; you still have to park so far away and walk over."

Upon hearing this, Deng Jiafeng could only say: "Brother, there's nothing we can do about it. You don't know, I begged everyone before, talking to Property Management and talking to the neighbors in the building, but they just wouldn't allow it."

"It's only because today is a joyous occasion, otherwise I would have to have a real talk with them!"

Feng Jianhua, standing nearby, heard this and said: "Alright, why bring this up today? Don't keep talking about it in the group chat, show some restraint."

Deng Jiafeng's eyes widened immediately: "What's wrong? They can do it but I can't talk about it? It's my son's big day, what's the harm in them moving a car? It's not like we aren't offering red envelopes."

"Talking about this and that for so long, isn't it just wanting more money? They even said I was committing Infringement of Reputation Rights by scolding them, it's truly amusing."

Feng Jianhua was about to say something upon hearing this, but a relative nearby said: "You two shouldn't argue today."

Forget it, Feng Jianhua shook his head and decided not to speak; the main thing was that from yesterday until now, his wife had been constantly badmouthing those neighbors in the group chat.

No matter what the matter is, if you talk about it too much, even if you are in the right, it won't sound pleasant.

The people in the group chat who were originally helping to speak up stopped helping, leaving only Deng Jiafeng there, constantly scolding people.

She had been scolding from yesterday until today; if it weren't for the wedding being held today, she would have continued to scold.

He wasn't talking about the legal side of things, he just felt that scolding people was meaningless.

But there was no point in considering that now; she was just being sharp-tongued, just saying a few words.

However, Feng Jianhua did not know that at this very moment, Zhou Yi had already appeared at the entrance of the Guangming Road Police Station.

After he got up today, he had originally intended to go to work properly, but he accidentally clicked on the WeChat group, and upon seeing it, he was completely stunned.

That person called Deng Jiafeng, not only did she post a video yesterday, but after he stopped checking the group, she had spent the entire day scolding in the group.

Every little while there would be a long voice message; he didn't know where she found so much to say.

Originally, he had just thought about letting Huo Pengfei file a lawsuit for Defamation of Reputation and leave it at that, but this non-stop scolding was something one couldn't accept.

Did she not know that scolding people in these group chats now, if done for a long time, could lead to Administrative Detention!

It didn't quite reach the level of a crime yet, but it was definitely a violation of the Public Security Administration Punishments Law.

Inside the Guangming Road Police Station, Chen Li was yawning; she had also stayed up late last night, and now her vision seemed a bit blurry when looking at people.

As a result, just as she arrived at the entrance, she saw a familiar back.

"President Zhou?"

Zhou Yi turned his head and immediately smiled: "Sister Chen Li, morning."

Chen Li asked curiously: "Do you have business here?"

She paused and added: "I remember you haven't been here for a long time, though you have caused quite a lot of trouble at other stations."

"Isn't it because I encountered trouble again? The Guangming Road Police Station is like another home to me in my heart; who wouldn't return home, right?" Zhou Yi said with a chuckle.

"Forget it, what about the Zhonglou side? Director Zhao is our leader now. Alright, tell me what's going on," Chen Li said, waving her hand.

When this guy comes to report a case, under normal circumstances, it definitely has to be a Case Filing for investigation.

Zhou Yi handed over his phone and said: "This matter is relatively small; in the Small Residential District owner group, someone's son is getting married..."

Chen Li looked at the chat history while listening to Zhou Yi's account, asking a question or two from time to time.

"So, just because of this, she scolded you in the group for a whole day?"

Zhou Yi spread his hands and said: "Yeah, otherwise why would I come to report a case for no reason? It really is a bit excessive."

Chen Li smiled: "So there are things you can't stand? Alright, I'll confirm the other party's identity first, and then I'll go find her later."

"It just so happens that our station and the sub-district are conducting a legal publicity campaign. This case can be used as a typical example; there are still people who think they can just scold anyone they want in a WeChat group."

"I want everyone to know that you can report it to the police for scolding people in a WeChat group, and it will definitely be handled!"

This wasn't Chen Li talking nonsense; as the concept of the rule of law has become more deeply rooted in people's hearts, the legal publicity work in various places has actually been working hard over the past year.

For example, regarding this matter of scolding in WeChat groups, many places have used it as a case for publicity.

In Jingzhou, it was really because a certain handsome guy caused too many and too big incidents, so legal education came in wave after wave.

This resulted in such small cases having no influence.

Now it's just right to use Zhou Yi's name to promote it.

About two hours later, the couple Feng Jianhua and his wife were sitting there with full smiles, waiting for the new bride to serve tea.

This was the situation Chen Li and Officer Lao Wu saw after they rushed over.

"They are holding an event today; it wouldn't be appropriate for us to go up now, right?" Chen Li watched from outside for a while and said.

Because it was lively inside and everyone's attention was focused within, no one noticed that there were two more police officers outside.

Lao Wu shook his head and said: "Wait a while. After their ceremony is finished, we will call her and have a chat with her."

"After all, on a day like this, we should try our best not to affect them. For now, let's go down first and don't let them notice us."

After waiting for a while, estimating that the ceremony inside had ended, Chen Li dialed Deng Jiafeng's phone number.

Inside the room, Deng Jiafeng was smiling so hard her eyes were almost closed, talking incessantly.

So it is said that people are complex; here, Deng Jiafeng was a good mother who cared very much for her son, but in the group chat, she seemed to have turned into another person, capable of scolding for half a day.

Just at this moment, the phone rang.

"Hello, who is this? I am Deng Jiafeng. From the Guangming Road Police Station? Why is the police station looking for me? You guys are scammers!"

After saying this, she hung up the phone directly. Don't think she didn't know; she had heard plenty of anti-fraud propaganda, and they even told her to come downstairs—dead scammers!

Downstairs, Chen Li and Lao Wu looked at each other; what else could they say?

The update is here. I'm not running a fever at all today, but I was wrong; the symptoms after the fever are also hard to endure. My nose is terribly uncomfortable, my throat hurts like I'm swallowing razor blades, and there's also back pain. I had a bit of a lumbar disc herniation before, and this time it made my back hurt so much I couldn't even sit down. I must go for proper treatment after finishing this book. Just one chapter today; the stuff written when the body is unwell looks like trash, all bumpy and rough.
