Chapter 465: The incident, the hole that cannot be filled
Banggeng was taken to the police station.
But what he didn't expect was that his plan to "further study" was ruined and he was actually locked up in a small room alone.
Banggeng was already a veteran, and his emotions gradually stabilized. He even asked the police confidently:
"I don't want to live alone, lock me up with the others!"
The police officer looked at him with a strange expression, thinking that this kid seemed to have some mental problems.
He angrily scolded, "Humph! This is a police station, how can you choose!
You'd better tell the truth quickly. Once we sort out the case, your excuses will be useless!"
Banggeng pouted and still looked like he would never admit it even if he was beaten to death.
The police officer shook his head, too lazy to say anything more, closed the door and left.
The scene suddenly became quiet, and Banggeng felt a panic for no reason. This kind of confinement-like punishment made him very uncomfortable.
In this torment of loneliness, the door was not reopened until noon.
Banggeng, who was huddled in the corner, ran out, crying out in a sobbing voice, "Help! I want to go home!"
He was quite stubborn enough to endure it for the whole morning without yelling or begging for mercy.
The police grabbed him and said with a smile, "Why are you panicking? I have a clue about your theft. I'll take you to identify the person."
Bang Geng struggled desperately: "Let go! I won't go! Bah! You're a bad seed!"
The police officer looked at the saliva on his feet and shook his head helplessly. It was really not easy to handle the case when he encountered such an unlucky child.
If an adult dared to act so recklessly, he would have punched him right away.
Two police officers took Banggeng directly to the crime scene and asked the surrounding neighbors to identify the suspect.
Sure enough, at three of the theft locations, neighbors around the area recognized Banggeng and could prove that he had stayed nearby during the time of the theft.
They hadn't mentioned it before because they hadn't associated it with a six or seven-year-old child, and they didn't have the 'God's perspective' to link the multiple thefts together.
Faced with such a situation, Banggeng remained stubborn and just said that he was just playing nearby.
The two policemen said nothing more and continued to take Banggeng for a walk around the nearby shops and public-private joint-venture restaurants. As expected, this guy had become a regular customer.
Facing these accusations, Bang Geng interrupted and explained: "Well... that money was given to me by my grandma, I didn't steal it!"
The two police officers shook their heads, looking somewhat uninterested. The case was not difficult at all.
Don't be fooled by this kid's stubborn attitude, he is just a child after all, and his sophistry is full of guilt and loopholes.
Everything was clear, and the police threw the stick back into the small room and warned:
"Stay still! Don't even think about leaving anytime soon! Just wait and see how the leader handles you!"
It was also the first time they encountered a case where a seven-year-old child, like a habitual offender, had successfully stolen from several houses, and there was no precedent of him being punished.
The door was closed again, and Banggeng was really scared this time. It seemed that his master's teaching of 'denying even if beaten to death' was of no use.
He was locked up until the afternoon, and finally he couldn't stand this kind of punishment anymore. He banged on the door and shouted:
"Let me out, I'll confess..."
......
As evening approached and people returned from get off work, the story of Bang Geng spread.
As expected, Compound No. 95 has become famous again!
Yi Zhonghai’s scandal is still a hot topic, the limelight hasn’t passed yet, and a new topic has come up!
After hearing this, Cao Anping was also speechless.
Although he had heard Tiedan mention it before, he didn't expect it to be so serious. Banggeng is so young, but he is almost a habitual offender. He really deserves the title of "Thief Saint".
He was very worried about the young people living in the courtyard who were still unmarried. If this continued, the neighbors would probably avoid Compound No. 95.
As for Cao Anping himself, he had no such worries at all.
During this period, no matter how politely I refused, I never stopped trying to propose marriage to him.
So no matter what the environment, he is considered to be a hot commodity.
What's more, Cao Anping already had a plan. He wanted to try the cultivation game and cultivate one himself, which would be more fun.
This morning, Jia Dongxu was asked to leave his job, saying that he was cooperating with the investigation.
For him, this is really adding insult to injury. It is estimated that he will be transferred to another position next month!
Qin Huairu was worried at home all day, but there was nothing she could do.
She couldn't even find anyone to talk to, so she wanted to ask the Yi family for help, but the former aunt Wu Xu, like Yi Zhonghai, seemed to be autistic.
He doesn't get involved in anything going on in the yard. He stays at home all day and never goes out, as if he can't stand being seen.
Qin Huairu finally waited for Yi Zhonghai to come back, and hurried to greet him, pleading pitifully:
"Master! Dongxu has also been taken to the police station and hasn't come back yet. Please think of a solution quickly!"
Yi Zhonghai was silent for a while before he shook his head and replied with a wry smile:
"I'm in this situation now, what can I do?
Don't worry, the matter has not been concluded yet. Even if Banggeng really made a mistake, it was not your order, so nothing will happen."
Yi Zhonghai was telling the truth, and even if there was a way to solve the problem, he planned to leave the Jia family out in the cold.
He has been very dissatisfied with his apprentice's performance recently, and he took this opportunity to send a signal that he will no longer ask for anything from him.
What's more, Yi Zhonghai has no savings anymore, and his salary has been reduced to the level of a first-class worker, so he can't resist winning people's hearts with his generosity as before.
He shook his head feigning helplessness, and without going home first, he took the broom and started cleaning.
In fact, the courtyard house is not that dirty and does not need to be cleaned every day. Yi Zhonghai is just putting on a show, trying to reverse his image as much as possible.
Qin Huairu felt a little desperate when she saw this. Only now did she realize that the Jia family's greatest support seemed to be ineffective!
But what surprised her was that Jia Dongxu just walked into the yard with his head down.
Qin Huairu quickly grabbed her husband and asked anxiously, "How's Banggeng? Why did you come back alone?"
Seeing everyone's curious gazes, Jia Dongxu felt a little irritated. He shook off his wife's hand in annoyance and said unhappily:
"Go back and tell me! I haven't eaten yet today, hurry up and get something to eat!"
Qin Huairu had no choice but to go home and wait for her husband to eat a few bites before she continued to ask anxiously.
Jia Dongxu slammed his chopsticks on the table and angrily scolded, "How do you educate your children?
In the past month or so, he has stolen money several times and spends it outside every day. How come you, as his mother, didn't notice anything?
If it had been corrected earlier, it wouldn’t have gotten to this point.”
As the only one working in the family, Jia Dongxu believes he has no responsibility for his children's education, so it is natural for him to question them.
Qin Huairu's guess was finally confirmed. She collapsed on the stool, tears streaming down her face, unwilling to face it, and muttered to herself:
"How could that be? My Bang Geng is so sensible, it's impossible!
Is this a misunderstanding? Did Bang Geng admit it?
Jia Dongxu said angrily: "The police directly took Bang Geng to investigate the nearby streets, and people recognized him immediately!
What’s the point if the child doesn’t admit it?”
Qin Huairu still didn't believe it and said to herself, "Banggeng is still a child, how could he sneak in and pick the lock?
That’s right! Someone must have been behind this! He was just ignorant and was deceived by others! "
She actually guessed most of it right, so when this was mentioned, Jia Dongxu became even angrier.
"Humph! It's because I learned this from those bad kids last time I was locked up in the police station!
If this matter is not investigated thoroughly, I will never be able to get rid of the suspicion of instigating children to commit crimes, and Banggeng may not be able to come back in the short term!
Master, the same thing. The money clearly wasn't taken by Bang Geng, and yet it took so long to get him back. He's already learned bad habits!"
Qin Huairu breathed a sigh of relief and asked expectantly, "Since someone else taught him, and Banggeng is still a child, he shouldn't be severely punished, right?"
“Ah!” Jia Dongxu sighed, feeling helpless: “Banggeng did it all by himself, it doesn’t matter who taught him.
The child will definitely be detained for a period of time. The police said they need to educate him properly.”
Qin Huairu became distraught again and asked worriedly, "How can Banggeng endure such hardship? Is there no other way?"
Jia Dongxu curled his lips and said unhappily, "The police said that since Banggeng is only seven years old, as long as he pays all the money and a 100 yuan fine, he will only be detained in a juvenile detention center for a period of time.
They say this is already a pardon, but if someone is fifteen or sixteen, the sentence would probably be at least ten years!"
When the money was mentioned, Jia Dongxu suddenly remembered something and hurriedly lifted the mattress on the bed.
It was easy to find a stack of banknotes, and after counting them, I found there were more than thirty yuan.
Only when he held the money in his hand did Jia Dongxu truly feel how courageous his son, who had been "smart since childhood", was.
Anyway, as a father, he knew that even if he was starving to death, he wouldn't dare to steal so much! He also didn't have the ability to do so!
Qin Huairu was also very surprised and said hurriedly, "Dongxu! We will go and make up the money tomorrow. We must not let Banggeng be detained for too long.
Those kids are all bad boys, what if they learn other bad things?"
Jia Dongxu threw the money on the table and said angrily, "Now we've found out that Banggeng stole more than 150 yuan, and there's only this little left. How are we going to make up for it?
Most of the money in the house is with Mom, so I only have a few dozen dollars left. But the money I have to pay back, plus the fine, is over two hundred dollars, so there's still a huge hole!"
Qin Huairu was a little bit incredulous: "How could Banggeng have spent more than a hundred in such a short time?"
Children just need to buy some food. Even if they eat a lot of fish and meat, they can't make more than a hundred yuan a month.
Jia Dongxu gnashed his teeth and cursed, "Isn't it the same bastard who taught Banggeng to unlock the door and steal money? He half-forced and half-threatened me to leave eighty or ninety!
Although he was arrested, the money had already been wasted and it was difficult to get it back.
Those who lost their money don’t care about that and will just blame Bang Geng.”
Qin Huairu felt more and more that her child had been wronged and somewhat wronged.
She subconsciously thought of a solution: "Then go find your master and borrow some money. You can't just let Banggeng fend for himself, right?"
Jia Dongxu frowned and replied with a rather resentful tone, "Master has been acting strangely lately. He rarely talks to me and is unwilling to help me with my work!
He seems to have not gotten over that incident yet, so I'm afraid he won't help us.
Oh~ I'll find time to go back to my hometown and ask my mom for money!"
Qin Huairu was still worried and didn't have much hope for that evil mother-in-law.
She knew very well that Jia Zhang was a Pixiu. Although she valued Banggeng, the eldest grandson who would carry on the family line, she would never give him money easily.
In the end, he probably still instructed me to go to Yi Zhonghai, Sha Zhu, or even other neighbors to borrow money.
Qin Huairu gritted her teeth, collected the money on the table, and said angrily:
"I'll go borrow it! I have to get Banggeng out as soon as possible!
At his age, if he doesn't go to school and stays in a juvenile detention center for a while, his life will be ruined!"
Easy home.
Qin Huairu shed tears, looking weak and pitiful, begging:
"Uncle! Banggeng has learned bad things from those bad kids. You must save him!"
Yi Zhonghai felt very uncomfortable. He changed his tone to call him "Master" in public, but became "Uncle" in private. He still couldn't match Sha Zhu's firm support!
He spread his hands helplessly and said in embarrassment: "Huai Ru, you know my situation. I've been tossed around several times and I really have no money left. I'm afraid I can't help you.
Why don’t you ask other people, like Silly…”
"Cough cough!" Wu Xu's cough interrupted Yi Zhonghai's suggestion.
Yi Zhonghai understood what he meant and immediately changed his tone, saying, "For example, Cao Anping, you two are from the same hometown, so he should be able to help.
And Liu Haizhong, he's the boss now, the one who takes on responsibilities. If you have any problems, go to him!"
Yi Zhonghai just subconsciously wanted to let the Jia family suck Sha Zhu's blood, and forgot that he had already made three rules with his wife and persuaded her to come back from her parents' home.
The so-called three rules are: the focus of caring for the elderly will be transferred to Sha Zhu, the family savings will be temporarily managed by Wu Xu, and no more mistakes will be made in terms of men and women in the future.
This was a written guarantee, and it had only been a few days. Yi Zhonghai dared not violate the promise, otherwise they would really have to part ways.
Qin Huairu was unwilling to give up and continued to play the emotional card: "Uncle, please think of a solution.
Our family is here to provide for you in your old age, so Banggeng is also half your grandson."
Yi Zhonghai's eyelids twitched. Although he had agreed to Wu Xu, he still hadn't given up on the Jia family in his heart. His recent actions were just to ignore his apprentice.
After being persuaded by Qin Huairu so much, he felt too embarrassed to refuse her so heartlessly.
After all, we should always leave some room for hope in the future.
At this time, Wu Xu spoke calmly: "Huai Ru, our family really can't help you right now, why don't you try other neighbors.
And I remember that Jia Zhangshi seemed to have some money. If she knew that her eldest grandson was in trouble, she would definitely rush to give it all away."
Qin Huairu was speechless. The cold tone of the "auntie" made her feel so unfamiliar.
Didn't the Yi family know before that Jia Zhang was rich? But the Yi family had always tacitly agreed not to mention it and let the Jia family take advantage of them in the courtyard.
Now, this tacit understanding seems to be broken!
Qin Huairu was silent for a long time before she wiped her tears and nodded, saying, "Okay, I'll think of a solution. Sorry to bother you."
After Qin Huairu left, Wu Xu sneered, "See? The Jia family is a bottomless pit, with so many bad things going on!
When we get old, let alone taking care of ourselves, we’ll be lucky if we don’t cause any more trouble!
What's wrong? Were you in trouble? Are you still holding on to illusions?
How about we separate now? You can help whoever you want, I don't care! "
Yi Zhonghai shook his head grimly, feeling somewhat humiliated after being scolded by Wu Xu.
He also didn't expect that his wife, who used to be so obedient, would become so strong now.
But Yi Zhonghai could only endure it for the time being. He was still guilty, and if he turned against him, he would only suffer.
