Chapter 121: Harassment fact established

Xiangyang Road Branch.

Around 11:30, several people finished making their statements separately.

Because there was surveillance video and the shop owner's testimony, the process of the incident was relatively clear, and it was useless for the other party to deny it.

But it was also a fact that the other party was seriously injured. The bald man's forehead was bleeding, and he had been accompanied by the duty police to the emergency room for suturing and examination immediately. The other two also had obvious bruises. If the other party insisted on this point, this matter really couldn't be determined only by harassment.

The few police officers on duty at night were all newcomers lacking experience in handling cases. Several people exchanged ideas and didn't come to a result. Seeing that the time was approaching midnight, Gu Lianxing leaned on Shen Ci's shoulder and almost fell asleep.

"Comrade Police, have you guys decided yet? How exactly will you punish them? Our brothers are all injured quite badly. You must punish them heavily!"

Seeing that the waiting time was getting longer and longer, one of the men couldn't sit still and shouted loudly.

The thin, dark police officer saw this, his expression tightened, and he scolded sharply, "Shut your mouth and wait honestly!"

"We've been waiting for almost two hours. We're in a hurry to go home. Our wives and children are waiting at home."

"You still know you have wives and children? Harassing young girls on the street with wives and children? Don't you want your face?"

"What kind of harassment is that? I just said two words, and I was beaten like this without even touching anyone. You can't favor them just because they are beautiful!"

Just at this moment, someone walked in quickly from outside the police station. The person was about 1.8 meters tall, wearing black casual pants and a white short-sleeved shirt without any patterns.

He scanned the two groups of people sitting in the waiting room with a calm and sharp gaze and said faintly, "Lively enough."

Everyone subconsciously looked up. This man was handsome and upright. Just walking in from the door, he couldn't hide the natural, awe-inspiring righteousness on his body. His eyes were even as deep as an eagle's. Just a casual scan earlier made the man who was still chattering a second ago instinctively shut his mouth.

"Captain Tang!"

The thin, dark police officer saw this person and quickly greeted him, saying with an apologetic face, "Sorry, bothering you so late."

Tang Song had actually seen the situation clearly with his casual glance earlier, but to be honest, he didn't understand the causal relationship of the incident between the three girls who were unscathed and the two men who were covered in injuries for a while.

"What's going on?" Tang Song asked.

"Three men harassed three girls in a barbecue restaurant but failed, and were beaten by one of the girls. One bald man was injured more seriously, and Xiao Liu accompanied him to the emergency room at the Second Hospital next door for suturing."

The man who spoke just now heard this and couldn't help but emphasize again, "I said that doesn't count as harassment. At most, it's chatting. I was beaten like this without even touching anyone. You can't favor them just because they are beautiful!"

Tang Song turned his head to look over. The man was so scared that he quickly shut his mouth. Then he heard Tang Song say in a light but oppressive tone, "As long as the girl feels harassed, the fact of harassment is established. Who told you that it doesn't count as harassment if you don't touch them? Verbal harassment is also harassment!"

Hearing this, the man shrank his neck and didn't dare to refute a word.

Shen Ci and the others looked at the police captain who appeared suddenly without saying a word, but they couldn't help but have their own thoughts in their hearts.

Gu Lianxing was so sleepy that her eyelids were fighting. She just wanted to solve this matter and leave here quickly. It didn't matter if she paid some money.

Pili crossed her arms and leaned on the chair, indifferent. Anyway, Shen Ci said that as long as they weren't beaten to death, it was fine. And she had always had a sense of proportion in her strikes. Except for the heavy strike on the bald man's head, there were no big problems with the others. The injury assessment was at most minor injuries, which could be exempted from criminal punishment. Pili knew this clearly.

Only Shen Ci was wandering in her thoughts at this moment, as if she had forgotten that she was still in the police station, just staring at Tang Song's face.

This man couldn't be described with the word "handsome," but "dashing."

In a sense, "dashing" wasn't just used to describe appearance, but more of a temperament.

"You said there's another bald man?"

Tang Song caught important information from the statement of the little police officer and asked, "Named Chen Liye?"

The little police officer was shocked, "Captain Tang, how did you know?"

Tang Song sneered, "This guy is a three-time offender. He has a prior record of harassing women. This time, the punishment will be increased for a repeat offense. Notify Little Li to process the wound and then have him escorted back to me!"

"Okay. Then they..."

Tang Song flipped through the statement and the shop owner's testimony, and after a while, he said, "The man's harassment fact is established. According to the Public Security Administration Punishments Law, each person will be fined two dimes and detained for fifteen days. Chen Liye's punishment will be aggravated. After detention, he will be transferred to the Procuratorate to pursue subsequent responsibilities."

After speaking, he closed the statement and threw it to the little police officer, "In the future, if you don't know how to determine such things, judge by causal relationship. The triggering party of the incident bears the main consequences. The 'cause' of harassment incidents has always been the man."

The little police officer blinked and hesitated, "But they were beaten like this..."

Tang Song looked at the two men covered in injuries, with no sympathy in his expression, "In terms of the natural strength gap between men and women, if you don't make resistance and defensive moves with all your strength when encountering threats, you will likely suffer losses."

"And when trying your best to protect yourself and your companions from harm, there is no time and no way to define the scope and scale of excessive defense. In this case, minor injury is the boundary point. Anything below the level of minor injury is regarded as legitimate defense!"

Tang Song's words were heard by Pili without missing a word. She raised the corners of her mouth slightly, almost imperceptibly.

The little police officer understood and nodded repeatedly, "Understood, Captain Tang."

Soon, the duty police came to escort the two men away. The two were naturally unconvinced in their hearts, shouting grievances while indicating that they would go to court to sue Shen Ci and the others for intentional injury.

However, Shen Ci and the others were all calm, without any nervousness of university students coming to the police station.

Tang Song walked to the front of the few, his gaze fixed on Shen Ci's face. Because of his special profession, he always had natural sharpness. This little girl had been staring at him since he came in. He had always been aware of it.

"Which school?" Tang Song asked.

Shen Ci said softly, "Longcheng University of Science and Technology."

Tang Song nodded, "Since you are university students, you are adults and have the ability to independently bear social and legal responsibilities. We won't notify your school. Remember to find an opportunity to call the police first next time you encounter such things. Don't act impulsively just because you know some martial arts. What if the other party has a weapon?"

"Wait a moment, each of you pay a fine of five cents and sign the document, then you can go."

Hearing this, Shen Ci subconsciously asked, "Didn't you say we belong to legitimate defense? Why do we still have to pay a fine?"

Tang Song looked at her and sneered, "You really think you can get away with beating people like that? If you don't pay the fine, the other party will bite and not let go, and there will be endless trouble later!"

"It'll be fine if we pay?"

Tang Song looked at Shen Ci for a while and nodded gently, "I'll handle it after you pay!"
