Chapter 588: There Is a Difference Between Detentions

There are always many people who cannot see the situation clearly, and there are even many criminal suspects who, until the moment they are caught, still do not feel they have done anything wrong.

Take Deng Jiafeng for example; in her mind, she must have offended this Police Station, and therefore they are engaging in a Retaliatory Attack!

Yes, that's exactly it. They say it's because of the previous matter and she's to be held in Detention for ten days, but why didn't you say so before?

This shows that the matter didn't reach the level of Detention at all; they are just engaging in a Retaliatory Attack against her, just because they feel she didn't accept Mediation and they lost face!

Fine then, as an ordinary citizen, she certainly can't fight them, so she'll just have to accept her bad luck, right?

She accepts Mediation; she will apologize where needed and pay compensation where needed. That should be enough, right?

Then, Deng Jiafeng saw that the expression on the face of the interrogator in front of her was very strange.

What is there to be strange about? She's already admitted that you are all powerful, isn't that enough?

After thinking for a moment, Deng Jiafeng asked again: "What do you mean by this? Isn't it enough that I've admitted it? I accept Mediation, I'll apologize to him, I'll pay him money, that's enough, right?"

Seeing that Deng Jiafeng still seemed to have some emotions, the interrogator immediately shook their head and said: "Right now, it is no longer a question of whether you accept Mediation or not."

What? It's not a question of accepting Mediation anymore? Then what is the problem? Deng Jiafeng was very confused.

Could it be that they absolutely have to keep her in Detention?

However, the next sentence from the interrogator made Deng Jiafeng start to feel confused directly.

Because the other party didn't ask anything about their compensation or Mediation; they asked entirely about whether she had attacked that female officer at the entrance.

Strange, isn't this just a way to make me accept Mediation?

Why are they starting to ask about this kind of thing again?

"No, does this have anything to do with me? I already said, I accept Mediation. What, is that Zhou Yi disagreeing or something? You at least give me a straight answer. Does this mean you absolutely have to keep me in Detention?" Deng Jiafeng said again.

The interrogator shook their head and said: "I have already told you, it is no longer a matter of whether you accept Mediation or not. When our officer comrade was enforcing the law, you committed multiple acts of aggression against her. Do you know the nature of this behavior?"

Deng Jiafeng stared blankly with wide eyes and shook her head, then quickly explained: "No, that's not it, she was the one who started it first! I was talking to her about the matter, and she suddenly came up and wanted to hit me."

"Well, even a police officer can't just hit people for no reason, right? So many people were watching, everyone saw it, it was your police officer who started it first. I... I had no choice."

The interrogator heard this and said: "So that means you felt her actions were wrong, so you fought back against her, is that right?"

Honestly, this interrogation was frighteningly simple; they hadn't even asked much on their side, and the person opposite had already admitted everything...

As for whether Chen Li was hitting her or subduing her, that isn't something you can just say with your mouth; both Chen Li and Lao Wu have video evidence on their Law Enforcement Recorders, which can be seen at a glance.

"I... I wasn't fighting back, it's just that she suddenly hit me, so I..."

Outside, Zhou Yi was chatting with Lao Wu, and he obtained more details from Lao Wu.

"Uncle Wu, for someone like her, how will it be handled now?" Zhou Yi thought for a moment and asked.

Lao Wu heard this and said: "Director Kang has already sent Lili to get her injuries examined. Once the appraisal report comes out, the procedure will be followed, and it will be changed to Criminal Compulsory Measures."

It will most likely be Criminal Detention, and because the facts of the case are clear and definite with sufficient evidence, once the Procuratorate approves the Arrest, she can be directly Arrested.

Zhou Yi sighed upon hearing this; although both are forms of Detention, the gap between Administrative Detention and Criminal Detention is not small at all.

After clarifying the situation, Zhou Yi said goodbye and left. This case must be filmed for a video; it will definitely leave the Netizens stunned.

And outside, in the Guangming Peak Residential Quarter, Feng Jianhua was still not satisfied after scolding Liu Zhipeng, so he called Liu Zhipeng's parents to talk.

Consequently, Liu Zhipeng was scolded severely by his parents again.

Because his parents belong to that type of show-off personality, their child has always been an object for them to show off, whether it was getting into university or entering the Court.

As a result, such a blunder has occurred now. Although Liu Zhipeng emphasized repeatedly that what he said was definitely correct and it was just that they didn't explain the matter clearly.

But unfortunately, his parents didn't listen at all: "You are just a child, what do you know!"

This is why some parents always have a bad relationship with their children; sometimes, the child has to act like an adult, and other times, the child must be a child.

But children have their own way of thinking.

However, for Feng Jianhua, no matter how fiercely he scolded Liu Zhipeng, his wife was still inside, not only could he not get her out, but he couldn't even see her.

There was no other way, Feng Jianhua could only plan to ask someone. He had completely lost faith in Liu Zhipeng, and after thinking for a long time, he could only plan to find a Lawyer to ask.

Even if it costs money, he'll accept it; it's better than having no news at all right now.

There was a Law Firm near the Small Residential District, though not a large one, but it was fine for this kind of consultation. Soon, Feng Jianhua met a Lawyer surnamed Zhao.

"Administrative Detention, they already told you, ten days. You just wait ten days. If you really want to see her, you can apply, and you should be able to see her," Zhao Yue said with a professional smile.

She hadn't been practicing independently for long, and her sources of cases were very scarce, so she attached great importance to this kind of walk-in client.

But unfortunately, it was just an Administrative Detention; she couldn't get involved in this kind of thing, and they would release her when the time was up.

Moreover, family members usually don't need to apply to visit; they just need to take documents proving the relationship.

Because she has already been placed in Administrative Detention, it is equivalent to a punitive measure having been issued, so it is naturally unaffected.

After receiving a definite answer, Feng Jianhua finally said: "Lawyer Zhao, I feel relieved now that you've said that. Just ten days, right? I can afford to wait. But that visit... can I really just go by myself?"

"Yes, you just need to bring your ID card and marriage certificate yourself, no problem," Zhao Yue smiled again: "However, I suggest contacting the Police Station in advance, it will be easier to handle."

"Alright, alright, alright, then I thank Lawyer Zhao."

Walking out of the Law Firm and looking at the payment on his phone, Feng Jianhua couldn't help but say: "These people, it's too easy for them to make money! Just for asking such a question, they dared to ask for two hundred yuan!"

Complaining indignantly, Feng Jianhua still accepted the suggestion and prepared to go see Deng Jiafeng tomorrow.

If he went today or tomorrow, he might not necessarily see her, because Zhao Yue said the Police Station would definitely have to go through the procedures, and after the procedures were finished, she would be sent to the Detention Center.

He could just go directly to the Detention Center to visit the day after tomorrow.

Two days passed quickly, and Feng Jianhua went out.

Things at home were a mess; he didn't know what was going on with his daughter-in-law, who said she wanted to go back to her parents' house for a few days, and it seemed she had quarreled with his son.

Sigh, what has happened to this family? That young couple had only been married for two days, how did it become like this now?

Forget it, better to go see his wife first.

Originally, he had thought about posting the things he had filmed online.

The police were arresting people and hitting people over such a trivial matter, but then, thinking that Deng Jiafeng would be out in ten days, he lost the desire to do so.

Anyway, it was just an Administrative Detention; that Lawyer also said that after staying for ten days, it would be fine.

Following the navigation, he arrived at the Guangming District Detention Center; this was also what Zhao Yue had told him.

She said that under normal circumstances, administrative detentions here are all sent to this place, so she must definitely be here.

Arriving at the entrance of the Detention Center, Feng Jianhua looked around carefully, then immediately went inside to find someone to ask.

Zhao Yue said yesterday that it would be easier to handle if he contacted the Police Station in advance.

In any case, he definitely wouldn't contact them; those people at the Police Station, one by one, are heartless, he wouldn't go there!

Fortunately, there were staff members inside, he found one quickly, and the person was very enthusiastic.

"State your wife's name, and I will help you check. As long as she is here with us, she can be found," the staff member Xiao Liu said, looking at Feng Jianhua.

Actually, people usually don't come to visit after an administrative detention; it lasts no longer than fifteen days, just two weeks, and they come out quickly, so there is no need for it.

But since someone has come, then it must be carried out according to the regulations; it is impossible to block the person.

"Um, my wife's name is Deng Jiafeng, yes, look here."

As he spoke, Feng Jianhua hurriedly opened the marriage certificate, pointed at the Photo and name on it, and said, "It's her, young man, please help me check."

Xiao Liu entered the name into the system to search, and soon asked suspiciously, "Comrade, we don't have this person here. Did you get it wrong?"

No such person?

Feng Jianhua said very strangely, "That's not right, the people at the Police Station were the ones who took out the Administrative Detention Notice at the time, how could she not be here."

"And I specifically consulted a Lawyer the day before yesterday. The Lawyer told me that even if it is their Police Station, they must send the person to the Detention Center in a timely manner; it is impossible to stay at the Police Station for too long. If she is not here, where could she be?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Liu entered the query again, but there were still no results.

"I really can't find her, Comrade. Why don't you give your Police Station a call and ask to see where the person actually is? In any case, she is definitely not here with us."

"And if she had been sent over yesterday, I would definitely know."

"How could she not be here... Forget it, I'll ask."

Feng Jianhua took out his phone to ask, but discovered he didn't know the contact information; he didn't even have the contact information of the officer handling the case.

He could only look at Xiao Liu and say, "Young man, do you know the contact information for the Guangming Road Police Station here..."

After a great deal of effort, he finally got the contact information, and Feng Jianhua walked to the side and started making the call.

Xiao Liu was also quite curious, because according to what Feng Jianhua said, the administrative detention procedure had indeed been carried out. It had already been two days, and it had long since exceeded the stipulated time.

But the Detention Center really didn't have this person, so where was she?

Feng Jianhua had already made contact with the Guangming Road Police Station.

"Yes, I am Feng Jianhua. What is the matter? You arrested my wife two days ago, her name is Deng Jiafeng. Didn't you say at the time that she would be under administrative detention for ten days? I've come to the Detention Center, and they told me there is no such person here. Where is she?"

If he had asked someone else, the officer answering the phone here might not have been very clear, but the name Deng Jiafeng was too familiar.

Because of this incident, everyone at the station now always uses "no legal effect" to mock themselves.

Moreover, the officer answering the phone was particularly clear about Deng Jiafeng's situation.

"Oh, you are Mr. Feng Jianhua, right? We were just about to notify you about this matter. Deng Jiafeng has now been placed on file for investigation due to suspected Assaulting a Police Officer. She is currently under criminal detention and is being temporarily held at the Jingzhou City First Detention Center..."

The officer's words were like a bolt from the blue; even if Feng Jianhua was a Legal Blind, he could still understand the two words "Criminal Case"!

So he shouted at the phone: "Wait, don't hang up yet. Make it clear, it's criminal detention? That's not right, the police officer clearly showed me an administrative detention at the time, how did it turn into a criminal one!"

Administrative detention and criminal detention are both detentions, but the gap between them is ridiculously large.

Xiao Liu on the side was shocked upon hearing this and almost spat out the hot tea in his mouth.

You old brother are truly something; you didn't even know she was under criminal detention and ran to the Detention Center asking us to find someone. How could we possibly find her for you?

She is at the Detention House; that place is more high-end than ours!

"The case is currently under investigation, and it is not convenient to disclose specific details. It is recommended to entrust a Lawyer to conduct a meeting." The officer's words were very clear.

This matter should have been notified to Feng Jianhua yesterday, but it was already late after finishing work yesterday, so they intended to notify him today.

As it turned out, he called himself, so it was just right to tell him.

Lawyer, Lawyer, it's always a Lawyer!

"Then what, without a Lawyer, I can't even see the person now?" Feng Jianhua roared again.

"According to the regulations, that is the case. Before the verdict, relatives are unable to conduct visits. Please understand."

Feng Jianhua still wanted to roar a few more times, but the person on the other end had already hung up the phone.

The notification was delivered, so who would want to listen to you continue roaring.

Seeing Feng Jianhua looking at him, Xiao Liu hurriedly said, "Comrade, since it is criminal detention, you should go to the Detention House. And you heard it too, you can't see the person if you go yourself; you have to let a Lawyer go, do you understand?"

"These are all our legal regulations; it's useless no matter who you look for."

Feng Jianhua walked out with a belly full of fire. Can't things be done now without a Lawyer? This is cheating people!

Thus, ten minutes later, Zhao Yue, who was at the station, picked up her phone.

"Hello, Mr. Feng, how are you? Ah? Blame me? You didn't see the person at the Detention Center? Criminal detention, well, that has nothing to do with me, Mr. Feng. What you told me at the time was administrative detention."

"Currently, the regulations are like this. If you want a meeting, you can only entrust a Lawyer to go. Relatives cannot see the person if they go themselves."

While speaking, Zhao Yue became excited; wasn't this case coming right to her?

Although it was a criminal case, it didn't matter. People are poor and their ambitions are short; this penny can force a hero to his death, and it can also make her, a Lawyer who hasn't been practicing independently for long, so poor that she can't afford rent...

Lawyers who start practicing independently are just this miserable at the beginning; without a source of cases, their monthly income is pitifully small.

Specializing in a certain field is something you play with after you have money; when you have no money, you don't despise any case...

"Mr. Feng, actually, you can entrust me to handle this case. You see, you know me quite well, right..."

Standing at the entrance of the Detention Center, Feng Jianhua already wanted to cry; what is all this?

How could a perfectly fine person, just because she scolded a few words, end up in jail now!

Thinking this way, Feng Jianhua took out his phone; he still had the video he took at the time on his phone.
