The next afternoon, Huazhenxing received a friend request on Weixin. I found him through his mobile phone number. His profile picture was a cartoon character named "Silent Rose", and the postscript claimed to be the girl who asked for help yesterday.
Huazhenxing approved the friend application, and the girl expressed that she wanted to treat him to a meal, pay him back and express her gratitude in person. Huazhenxing said that he could pay back the money by transferring money via mobile phone, but not for meals.
But the girl insisted on thanking him in person, and said that she could make an appointment near Huazhen Bank. She also asked him when he would be free. If he was not free during dinner time, he could also make an appointment for a late-night snack. After chatting, he sent him a Western restaurant.
address.
Hua Zhenxing eats six dinners and four lunches at Chunguang Banquet every week. If only dinner is included, there is only one free day in seven days, and it happens to be tomorrow.
Hua Zhenxing thought about it and made an appointment tomorrow. There was nothing he could do if he didn't go. He had to meet in person before he could pay back the money!
The address of the western restaurant the girl sent is not far away. If you count from the side entrance of Chunhua University, it is only ten kilometers away by car. In the huge city of Pingjing, this is already very close.
From the map, this store is exactly across the entire Pingjing University from Chunhua University, and can even be reached on foot from the nearest gate of Pingjing University.
Huazhenxing checked the reviews of this hotel on the Internet, and found them to be pretty good. Most of the comments came from nearby college students. The environment here is good, the dishes, tableware, and dining process are all very ritualistic. The average consumption per person is over 200.
This place is very suitable for the petty bourgeoisie, and even college students can come here to spend money occasionally, so when it comes to this Western-style restaurant, it has become synonymous with couples dating.
The store basically has semi-partitioned booths, and the decoration and lighting give it an ambiguous and private atmosphere... Hua Zhenxing arrived at this Western restaurant on time, and she had actually arrived first.
The girl was dressed more exquisitely today than last night. She had taken off her coat as she sat there, and was wearing a one-line off-shoulder top with white flowers under her neck. Her chest was so full that it even seemed unreal.
Hua Zhenxing prefers natural things because he is a Taoist and Taoism is natural. But he also admits that the girl's exaggeration is not unsightly.
After Hua Zhenxing sat down, the girl thanked Hua Zhenxing for what happened the day before yesterday, and asked Hua Zhenxing to order, explaining that she was not familiar with this restaurant and was introduced to it by a classmate who attended class with him.
Huazhenxing didn't refuse, and directly asked the waiter to recommend the store's most popular set meal for two. The girl asked Huazhenxing how he drank, and Huazhenxing said he could drink a little.
This sentence was a bit tricky. She did not directly ask Hua Zhenxing if he drank, but how much he drank. Of course Hua Zhenxing would not say that he could not drink, so the girl took advantage of the situation and ordered a bottle of white wine.
The girl calls herself Cheng Xiaofang, a very common name, but her appearance is anything but ordinary.
She is a civil servant who came from other places to study. Her six-month training is almost over. She is studying at the School of Information, Pingjing University.
Of course Hua Zhenxing also introduced himself and told the truth.
He is an international student from Jiliguo and has just entered his freshman year at Chunhua University. The reason why he speaks Dongguan so well is because he is a Chinese of Dongguo descent and has been educated in Dongguan culture since he was a child.
Miss Xiaofang's character is so lovable. When Hua Zhenxing speaks, she always looks at him so softly, her watery eyes carrying just the right amount of flattery.
The meal lasted quite a long time, and Miss Xiaofang took a sip of wine from time to time. Eventually, both of them drank up a bottle of more than 700 ml of white wine.
Miss Xiaofang took the initiative to settle the bill, and Huazhenxing did not compete with her because it was agreed that she would be the treat. Miss Xiaofang also transferred 300 in cash via WeChat, and Huazhenxing accepted it.
As for the cost of Huazhenxing's online car-hailing service, the girl didn't mention it, and Huazhenxing didn't mention it again. Huazhenxing was not a small person, and the meal the other party invited cost more than 700, which was definitely more expensive than the taxi fare.
It was already past nine o'clock after dinner. Miss Xiaofang was already a little drunk and her steps were slightly staggering. Under such circumstances, it was not safe for a girl to go home alone. Hua Zhenxing wanted to call a car for her.
But Miss Xiaofang said: "I originally shared an apartment with my classmates, which was quite far away from here. But there happened to be something going on in the advanced training class today, and I wanted to treat you to dinner, so I booked a room in a nearby hotel.
It's just a few steps away. If you're worried, just send me off."
Hua Zhenxing really gave it away. The girl was a little unsteady due to the drunkenness, so he took the initiative to hold her arm.
When we arrived at the hotel, the girl said again: "I'm a little thirsty after drinking. Come to my room for a cup of tea. I'm very interested in the Black Desert Continent and have been thinking about saving money to travel there. I'd like to hear your introduction.
"
This is a five-star hotel. When entering the room, the girl first took a cup, put the tea bag provided for free by the hotel, and then started to boil water with the electric kettle.
While the water was boiling, the girl added, "I've sweated a lot and I feel sticky. I'll take a shower first."
Hua Zhenxing had never experienced anything like this since he was a child, so he didn't know if this was a normal process, so he sat on the sofa and waited. He found that the girl had brought her mobile phone into the bathroom when she was taking a shower. It was really strange.
Addiction to mobile phone browsing.
When the water was boiled, Hua Zhenxing took the initiative to pour it on. After a while, the girl finished taking a bath and walked out in a pair of very cool pajamas. She came to the sofa and stood unsteadily on her feet. Suddenly she fell towards Hua Zhenxing's
in his arms, and let out an exclamation.
Hua Zhenxing did not touch her, and before the girl's figure turned over, Hua Zhenxing had already moved to another seat next to the coffee table, while the girl lay leaning on the sofa.
At this time, the door of the room suddenly opened. It was not kicked open, but someone used the room card to open it. Four people, three men and one woman, rushed in from the outside, and the last one closed the door smoothly.
"Xiaofang, how could you do such a thing! I am so good to you, but you are outside..." A young man in the lead screamed and rushed over, reaching out to tear the girl on the sofa.
"Xiao Wang, if you have something to say, say it carefully. Don't be impulsive. We haven't figured out what's going on yet!" The only woman among the four of them grabbed the young man and tried her best to dissuade him.
When Miss Xiaofang saw this scene, she curled up on the sofa, grabbed a pillow to cover her chest, covered her face and started crying, choking up and saying: "No, no, I didn't do it voluntarily, he took advantage of me when I was drunk...
…”
Hua Zhenxing had already lit a cigarette and sat there without moving his butt or speaking, just watching quietly. He seldom smoked on weekdays, and occasionally lit one when he encountered interesting things. This was one of his rare occasions.
One of the most bad habits.
The young man just now, judging by his tone, must be Miss Xiaofang's boyfriend, named Xiao Wang. At this moment, he turned around and came towards Huazhenxing, and two other big men also gathered around him, actually holding a baseball bat in his hand.
When Xiao Wang saw that Hua Zhenxing was still sitting there smoking in his free time, he couldn't help but feel angry. He stretched out his hand and grabbed Hua Zhenxing's collar, and lifted it hard...but he didn't move it.
Why is this man's body so heavy? The force he exerted just now was not small. Even if he couldn't lift him, his clothes would be torn. But he didn't move and his collar was still intact.
Xiao Wang gritted his teeth and pushed harder, but Hua Zhenxing still didn't move at all, but Xiao Wang's right shoulder was dislocated, probably because he exerted too much force.
Xiao Wang let out a cry of pain and let go. The other two big men were also surprised. They pointed at Hua Zhenxing with a baseball bat and said, "Tell me! Who are you and what's going on?"
Hua Zhenxing reached out and flicked the cigarette ashes: "I don't know what's going on. Please tell me."
The room was quite chaotic, with Xiaofang crying, women comforting, and men scolding.
Seeing that Hua Zhenxing did not move at all and made no attempt to defend himself, the two big men did not commit any further violence. They just stared at Hua Zhenxing with baseball bats, while Xiao Wang, whose shoulder was dislocated, was sweating in pain.
At this time, he should call 120, but he still held on to one arm.
After a while, Hua Zhenxing finally understood. According to Miss Xiaofang, the previous content was generally correct. She lost her cell phone and asked for help, and then asked Hua Zhenxing for helping her to have a meal to express her gratitude.
However, Hua Zhenxing had no good intentions. He deliberately made her drink wine during the meal and drank a whole bottle of white wine. She was already drunk after the meal. Hua Zhenxing said that he was not worried about her safety and took the opportunity to send her away.
Back to the hotel.
Xiaofang was simple-minded, thinking that Hua Zhenxing was a good person, so she was unprepared... If Xiao Wang and others hadn't arrived in time, the consequences would have been disastrous. Xiao Wang was naturally Xiaofang's boyfriend, and that woman was Xiaofang's best friend.
The big man with a baseball bat on the left asked Hua Zhenxing fiercely: "Tell me what you should do?"
Hua Zhenxing frowned with interest and said, "Is this the legendary Immortal Dance?"
"What fairy dance! We asked you what you want to do?"
"What is your purpose?"
"I want to persuade us not to call the police! So I volunteered to apologize with 200,000 yuan in compensation."
"I don't want to advise you."
"You attempted suicide and were caught. The evidence is conclusive! We are willing to negotiate with you to protect Xiaofang's reputation. Otherwise, we will call the police."
"Then call the police."
"It seems I can't do it without giving you some pain!"
"If you don't call the police, I will." As he said this, Hua Zhenxing took out his cell phone and looked like he was ready to call the police.
A big man next to him swung a baseball bat and threw it at his cell phone. Maybe he was not very skilled with the stick, or maybe there were too many clutter in the hotel room. The stick inexplicably missed his swing and hit the coffee table.
Hit his knee.
Another cry of pain was heard, and the man dropped the stick and fell to the ground, covering his knees. The kneecaps may have been cracked.
Hua Zhenxing didn't move at all. Two of the three men were injured and basically lost their fighting ability. The remaining one man and two women were also a little panicked and didn't understand what happened today... The police finally came.
Surprisingly, it was not Hua Zhenxing who called the police alone, but both parties called the police, and then everyone was taken to the police station.
Xiao Wang and another accomplice needed medical treatment and injury examination, so they were sent to the hospital first. It didn't matter, there were also a man and two women with them, especially since the person involved, Hua Zhenxing, was still there, which was enough to ask for a confession.
Hua Zhenxing's luck has not been very good recently. Within three months, he has been in trouble twice. This time, the situation is very dangerous. If it were an ordinary person, he would definitely be in trouble.
Looking at this situation, even if he finally escapes from the police station, he will die socially. Hua Zhenxing seems to have already experienced social death, which is quite a bit like a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water.
When questioned by police officers at the police station, Hua Zhenxing told the truth, including how he met Miss Xiaofang, why he ate today, what happened during the meal, and what happened after the meal.
The lobby and corridors of the hotel are all under surveillance. In fact, as long as the surveillance is turned on, it can be seen that Miss Xiaofang took the initiative to hold Hua Zhenxing's hand and enter the room. But this is not enough to prove Hua Zhenxing's innocence, because there was no trace in the room.
monitor.
One thing that is strange is that Hua Zhenxing and Ms. Xiaofang were questioned separately. But after Ms. Xiaofang was questioned, she registered her identity information, left her contact information, and left that night.
Although the police said they would check with her at any time to learn about the situation, they did let her go on the spot.
Through police interviews, it was learned that Ms. Xiaofang is 29 years old and looks younger than her actual age. She claims to have come to Pingjing to work.
This is inconsistent with her introduction to Hua Zhenxing. The claim that a civil servant from another province was studying at Pingjing University is untrue. She admitted that she lost her cell phone and asked Hua Zhenxing for help, and also admitted that she treated Hua Zhenxing to a meal.
.
But the details that followed were completely fabricated. According to her, Hua Zhenxing made her drink and sent her to the hotel room while she was drunk. After she entered the room, she sobered up and felt very scared. She texted her boyfriend on the pretext of taking a shower.
information.
After she returned to the room after taking a shower, Hua Zhenxing really wanted to do something wrong. Fortunately, her boyfriend arrived with someone in time...
When her friends tried to stop and scold Hua Zhenxing, Hua Zhenxing took advantage of them and injured others, injuring her boyfriend and another friend, and then they called the police.
There is supporting evidence for this set of confessions. When Xiaofang was taking a shower, she did send a message to her "boyfriend", Xiao Wang, who had a dislocated shoulder. The content was that a man she had just met entered the hotel room while she was drunk.
She is so scared now.
On the other hand, two of her accomplices were indeed injured.
How did Hua Zhenxing know this? Although he was sitting in his seat, he could detect the movement in the entire police station. He could not only hear it, but even "see it".
For example, Huazhenxing knew the identity information and contact information of the girl Xiaofang and her accomplices.
Not only that, Hua Zhenxing also knew that a leader of the dispatch station was working overtime, and others called him Political Commissar Ma. Political Commissar Ma answered a phone call and said on the phone: "Yes, the boy named Hua has come in.
Brother Fang, don’t worry, I will definitely handle this matter properly. If he has not committed any crime, we cannot take bribes and bend the law, right? As long as he has committed a crime, he must be dealt with according to the law!"
After Hua Zhenxing heard this, he was waiting to be dealt with seriously.
The police officer who dealt with him was very young, his surname was Jin. In the middle of the questioning, Police Officer Xiao Jin was called out by Political Commissar Ma. Political Commissar Ma gave him an interview, in short, he hinted that Hua Zhenxing must be arrested today.
The girl over there, Xiaofang, had already finished her questioning and left, while Hua Zhenxing was still being questioned. No matter what Officer Xiao Jin said, Hua Zhenxing was stubborn and refused to change his words.
The confessions from both sides did not match up. After Officer Xiaojin obtained the woman's confession, he came back to question Hua Zhenxing all over again.
Hua Zhenxing confessed how the two met and the reason for the meal. However, Hua Zhenxing still insisted on his story about the drunkenness and subsequent events.
In the end, Officer Xiao Jin gave up and told Hua Zhenxing that since both sides were holding different opinions, there was no way to prove the matter. Hua Zhenxing might as well just write an examination, otherwise there would be endless wrangling.
Hua Zhenxing asked Officer Xiaojin what to write for examination. Officer Xiaojin taught him on the spot, and the content was roughly in Hua Zhenxing's tone. He said that he had no bad intentions in his self-report, but he just drank a little and lost control for a while, mistakenly thinking that the girl was interested in him.
So he hugged her twice and saw that the girl didn't want to, so he didn't do anything further and apologized on the spot. The point is that he definitely didn't really assault the girl. In fact, this was also true because the girl's boyfriend arrived.
Well!
Hua Zhenxing shook his head and said: "This is inconsistent with the facts. I am obviously a good student who likes to help others, why do I need to write an inspection? Officer, haven't you thought about another possibility? They are a gang, deliberately setting up a trap to blackmail
blackmail."
Police Officer Xiaojin: "The accusation needs evidence. You don't have evidence of their extortion. But you were caught at the scene. There is an accusation from the other party, and the only trust record between her and her boyfriend can also be used as evidence..."
Hua Zhenxing: “Since we are talking about evidence, you don’t have evidence that I broke the law.”
Officer Xiao Jin: "It's not that there is no evidence. The other party's testimony and WeChat records are all evidence."
Hua Zhenxing: "Isn't the evidence sufficient? I have already said that this is a blackmail gang. You said that it cannot prove that they are a blackmail gang, so what I said cannot be used as evidence; it also cannot prove that I have committed illegal acts, and what she said cannot be used as evidence."
evidence."
Officer Xiaojin: "I am here to help you. I am writing this examination to try to make the nature of the problem less serious. I emphasize that subjectively you did not intentionally act like a hooligan, and objectively you did not really infringe on the other party.
You just misunderstood and thought the other person was interested in you, so you reached out and hugged you twice. After being rejected, you did not take the next step. At this time, someone happened to open the door, thus causing a misunderstanding.
If you declare that this is just a misunderstanding, apologize, and agree with the facts introduced by the other party, the case will be closed! Do you think I am willing to stay up late and work overtime with you here? "
Hua Zhenxing said calmly: "Officer, is there something else you haven't told me?"
Officer Xiao Jin: "What's the matter? I've already told you everything I should tell you. I'm here to help you! Don't be stubborn and think of the police station as something else?"
Hua Zhenxing: "If I really wrote such an inspection, I wouldn't be able to get away with it, right? I signed it myself. Whether it was an attempted rape or a gangster molestation, the evidence would be solid!"
I provided the evidence myself that I couldn't obtain originally. The subjective statement does not affect the nature of the objective behavior. If you want me to admit that I mistakenly thought that the other person was interested in me, and even took the initiative to reach out and hugged me twice, wouldn't that be enough to determine the nature of the behavior?
If I were just detained by public security today, there would be no need to go to court. The police station could handle it directly. I wouldn't even have a chance to retract my confession. I couldn't even find a reason to retract my confession afterwards, because I signed and acknowledged it myself.
There is another thing you didn't tell me. Maybe you ignored it, maybe you don't even know it yourself.
They also have two accomplices who are injured and are in the hospital. If the injury assessment results in a permanent disability, for example, one has lost an arm and the other has lost a leg.
As long as this matter is finalized, I cannot say that the other party is setting up a trap for blackmail. On this basis, they can continue to hold me responsible for intentional injury. This is conclusive evidence!
In fact, I did not do any wrongdoing, nor did I intentionally hurt anyone.
The person who dislocated his shoulder and tore the ligaments was the one who used too much force to lift my collar. The person who shattered his kneecap was the one who hit the coffee table with a stick and bounced on himself.
There were only his fingerprints on that baseball bat, not mine. I also want to tell you that the clothes the woman was wearing at the time were changed after taking a shower. They can be tested and there is no trace of my DNA on them.
When I say this, I don’t mean to teach the police how to investigate a case, I just want to say that I don’t have any evidence.”
There was an imperceptible complex look in Officer Xiao Jin's eyes, and then he yelled fiercely: "You are ungrateful! Are you an international student? I can notify your school and the embassy now, and you can also ask for a lawyer."
Hua Zhenxing: "Then please inform them and tell them what happened to me. You only need to answer the question I just asked, am I telling the truth?"
Officer Xiao Jin: "What is the truth? I don't know whether you intentionally hurt others. Have you thought about other things?"
Hua Zhenxing: “I’ve already thought about it!”
Hua Zhenxing is a studious child. After coming to Dongguo, he has read the Criminal Law, the Civil Code, the Regulations on Public Security Administration Penalties, and read many cases.
It was just an "accident" that two people were injured today. The injury assessment has not yet been released. Let's not talk about intentional injuries, just "playing hooligans".
In a case like this, the most troublesome thing is the evidence, because it all comes from the oral statements of the parties, and there is no other solid evidence. Therefore, the easiest way for the police is to obtain the personal confession of the parties.
It is said that the case is closed by writing an examination and admitting the mistake as lightly as possible. In fact, the examination itself is the confession of the parties involved. Once the nature is determined, it is easy to handle. It is nothing more than punishment according to regulations.
There are many innocent people who don't know what to do and have suffered from this, or even been misled.
For example, someone is walking on the street and is falsely accused of being a hooligan, and goes to the police station. He wants to write a written examination, admit his mistake, apologize, and just say that he accidentally touched the other person somewhere. Don't go on endlessly.
Keep entangled.
But as long as you do this, under normal circumstances, you will be detained administratively for at least five days.
There is a trap here, and if you are not a professional lawyer, it will be difficult not to fall into it. Even when the police say this, they try to make the matter as trivial as possible, telling the client to write a written examination and then the case can be closed.
This is the truth, but only half the truth.
In this case, many people don't have the energy to bother, so they choose to leave the matter alone and just write a check. Anyway, they have been used to writing checks in school since they were young, and they have to go to work as soon as they finish!
But the police often don't tell you in advance that this is completely different from an ordinary inspection. It is a basis for punishment by law enforcement agencies. After completing the inspection, you will not be able to leave.
Some people will definitely wonder, why is this happening?
From the police's point of view, this is often a natural way of handling things, or a helpless move, because there are too many bad things happening to people all day long, and the police officers don't know who is a good person or not.
For example, in the middle of the night, who wants to work endless overtime and argue? The grassroots police force is very nervous, and the grassroots police have many things to do, so being able to close the case in the most trouble-free way has become the goal pursued by many people.
Not all police officers have evil intentions. In fact, most police officers are ordinary people. It may be because this trick is easy to use at work, and it has formed path dependence over time.
Today's situation is quite special. Political Commissar Ma has hinted that he wants Officer Xiao Jin to establish evidence. In short, Hua Zhen cannot be allowed to walk and he must be detained.
Of course Hua Zhenxing knew the key, so the situation was at a stalemate. Officer Xiao Jin did not engage in torture, but there was suspicion of extorting a confession, at least there were verbal hints and threats.
But later, Xiao Jin figured out the meaning of this matter. In his heart, he didn't want to do that. The last sentence was tantamount to reminding Hua Zhenxing what to do.
Many people don't want this kind of bad thing to be brought to school or work, which would also mean social death to a certain extent. Therefore, Officer Xiao Jin emphasized that if Hua Zhenxing did not write a self-criticism, he would notify the school.
If something like this was not handled well according to school discipline, he would be expelled. He had to cherish the hard-won opportunity to study abroad. Hua Zhenxing said that if the police wanted to notify the school, then they should.
In fact, Officer Xiaojin had no intention of notifying the school because there was no evidence to prove that Huazhenxing had committed any illegal act. In this case, he would have to be released within 24 hours at most. What could he say on behalf of the police station when he notified the school?
In fact, Huazhenxing has another option. He can hire a lawyer within 24 hours, but if he does not claim this right himself, the police will not remind him in most cases.
Officer Xiao Jin reminded Hua Zhenxing that he didn't really mean to notify the school. He was implying that even if Hua Zhenxing couldn't find a lawyer, he would at least notify someone outside who could help him. It was too passive to be alone in the police station.
Hua Zhenxing actually did not take the problem and said: "I'm sorry, Officer Jin, I know you were innocently implicated, and you will lose your public office because of it later.
In fact, the evidence I just mentioned will not matter by tomorrow morning, and there is no need to investigate it again.
Don't worry, I can arrange a new job for you. If you want to change places to be a police officer, I can also help you with housing and family matters, but you have to do one thing.
When the superiors investigate in the future, please explain the situation truthfully. The key point is what Political Commissar Ma said to you today!"
Officer Xiao Jin had been asking questions for the rest of the night, sometimes in a persuasive and sometimes stern tone. The lights in the interrogation room were bright and pointed directly at Hua Zhenxing's face.
After being bombarded with questioning for such a long time under such circumstances, Hua Zhenxing should be very tired and his thoughts would become confused, but he was still very clear-headed. On the contrary, Officer Xiao Jin was tired.
Officer Xiao Jin was surprised when he heard this, thinking that he was too tired and hallucinating, because Hua Zhenxing's voice rang directly in his ears, but he did not see Hua Zhenxing speak.
Hua Zhenxing spoke again at this time: "Officer Jin, please rest assured that what I just said is true."
Officer Xiao Jin decided not to ask any more questions and sent Hua Zhenxing to the detention room of the police station for the night. Hua Zhenxing's arrival also woke up the other four roommates in the detention room.
These four people were just arrested last night, one was a habitual thief, one was a drunk driver, and two were prostitutes. The legendary bullying did not happen. The four roommates curiously asked how Hua Zhenxing got in?
Hua Zhenxing introduced the situation truthfully and amused those people. After dawn, the four roommates left, leaving only Hua Zhenxing. This was not a detention center, but a temporary detention room in the police station.
The detention center is responsible for food, but the temporary detention room does not care about food, at least not three meals a day. Officer Xiao Jin bought a breakfast for Hua Zhenxing.
Hua Zhenxing sat there cross-legged and waited, continuing to worship the cave space in the alchemy gourd. This was a huge project with almost no end in sight, but he did not waste time.
Hua Zhenxing is very puzzled, why hasn't Wang Fengshou come yet? He has to go out before noon today at the latest, otherwise he will delay today's dinner, and he will have to meet Elder Guo of the Kongshan Sect at noon.
According to the schedule arranged by Director Niu, Elder Guo is the male cultivator he has met for the first time in a week. It is interesting to say that since the last time he had a meal with Earth Master You Zhenren, the next ten meals will be all
Female nuns from various sects.
Wang Fengshou was supposed to pick him up early in the morning, which was almost the working hours of major units, but another major accident happened last night, so he was late.
Hua Zhenxing was unaware of this unexpected event and had not anticipated it in advance.
