Chapter 359 Falling to death? Sorry, our party is not responsible!
The next morning.
Dragon City, Tianshui Fragrance Spring.
It was a sunny day, and the sun shone through the cracks in the curtains, shining warmly on the big butt of a handsome boy who liked to sleep naked.
Although the sun was already beating down on her buttocks, Jiang Bai still slept soundly holding the quilt.
I drank some wine with Zhang Wei yesterday, but I wasn't drunk at all, but I was still a little confused when I got home, so I fell asleep and slept until the next morning.
At this moment, Jiang Bai was teasing Zhou Gong's daughter in his dream.
Suddenly a loud cell phone rang.
Jiang Bai's brows suddenly wrinkled, feeling that his brain was a little swollen and uncomfortable.
He squinted his eyes and groped on the bedside table. When he found his cell phone, he didn't even look at the caller ID. He picked it up and said "hello" vaguely.
"Hello, this is the Changfeng Street Police Station. Is this Mr. Jiang Bai?"
Hearing the voice coming from the other end of the phone, Jiang Bai suddenly woke up.
The phone number of the police station is still Changfeng Street Police Station, which is a bit strange.
Tianshui Xiangquan where Jiang Bai is located is within the jurisdiction of Changhe Street Police Station, and this Changfeng Street Police Station should be in the north, and the two jurisdictions are adjacent.
Why is this police station calling?
Jiang Bai had an ominous premonition in his heart, and said quickly: "Ah, I am Jiang Bai, what happened?"
The other party asked: "The street shop at No. 81 Changfeng Street is registered in your name, right?"
Jiang Bai blinked and remembered.
It seems that I do have a shop.
If I remember correctly, it should have been awarded by the system after a previous lawsuit with the catering giant "Xiaohejia". It has two floors, with a single floor area of about 150 square meters.
Originally, Jiang Bai thought that if he didn't need it, he would rent out the shop and become a happy landlord, collecting rent on a monthly basis. He would also be quite happy.
As a result, a series of triggering events followed, which involved so much energy that he forgot about the matter.
Speaking of which, Mr. Jiang is also very big-hearted. He simply forgot about the shops on the upper and lower floors with a market value of several million. I can only say that he is so willful when he has money.
Jiang Bai quickly recalled some things and replied: "Yes, that shop is mine."
The other party said again: "It's like this. Last night, an old man fell from the second floor to the first floor in your shop. He was seriously injured. He is still being treated in the hospital and is not out of danger yet. Please come to our police station now.
."
"What?"
Jiang Bai immediately jumped up and sat up, his voice rising a few pitches: "Someone had an accident in my shop? No, comrade police, you are not mistaken. The shop was not put into use at all, and the door was always closed.
Well, how could anyone go in..."
"etc!"
"Isn't this person a thief?"
Jiang Bai thought of something and asked in a deep voice.
This is also the only possibility he can think of now.
After the system rewarded the shop, Jiang Bai went over to take a look. It was quite messy. It seemed that no one had systematically cleaned it after the previous users moved away.
There were some tables and stools with missing arms and legs stacked in the shop, as well as many large cardboard boxes, and some sundries. There were no lights or air conditioners.
Jiang Bai originally planned to find someone to clean up the shop first, then redecorate and paint it, and then publish the rental information on the 69 platform and Xianyu.
After looking at it for a few times, Jiang Bai locked the door and left, and never went there again.
In other words, the store should always be locked. How could someone get in for no reason?
Unless it's a thief!
Apart from this, Jiang Bai really couldn't think of other possibilities.
After listening to Jiang Bai's words, the policeman on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment and then said: "It's hard to tell the specific situation of this old man over the phone. You'd better come to my place to learn more about it."
"Okay, Changfeng Street Police Station, right? I'll be there in about half an hour."
"Yes, just ask Officer Lu when you get here."
"OK."
After saying that, Jiang Bai hung up the phone.
He threw the phone aside and scratched his hair irritably.
Then Zhuo took Duo Xie into the bathroom.
ten minutes later.
Jiang Bai dressed neatly and went out, took the elevator to the underground garage, and drove straight to the Changfeng Street Police Station.
He also called Luo Dazhuang on the way and briefly explained the matter.
"Do you think the other party might cause trouble?" Luo Dazhuang asked.
"Be prepared."
"If the other party is reasonable, it's easy to say anything, even if you compensate him some money. But if you encounter someone who is unreasonable, you have to argue with them about the law."
"Besides, what I'm most worried about now is that the other party dies. As you know, no matter what happens, once it is related to human life, it becomes complicated."
Jiang Bai was also quite helpless.
What he is most worried about now is that the other party dies.
Judging from the word "old man" used by the police, the other party was at least sixty years old, maybe even seventeen years old.
He is old, his bones are fragile, and he may have various underlying diseases.
An accidental fall on the ground could cause serious problems, let alone falling from the second floor.
The second floor of the shop is three to four meters high. If you fall from such a height, you may be killed if you are unlucky.
After all, Jiang Bai is an experienced person who has seen big scenes. Faced with this kind of situation, it is definitely right to prepare early.
With a lawyer by your side, if any disputes do arise, you can handle it more calmly.
"Okay, I understand, you go there first, I'll be there later."
Luo Dazhuang didn't hesitate and readily agreed.
With Luo Dazhuang as his support, Jiang Bai felt at ease.
When you step on the accelerator, you will feel a strong push on your back, and the vehicle speed will suddenly increase.
Soon, Jiang Bai arrived at the Changfeng Street Police Station.
This is his first time here. Before that, he visited the Changhe Street Police Station next door more often.
The environment is a little unfamiliar, but the basic layout is pretty much the same.
Jiang Bai took a quick look and went directly to the reporting window.
"Hello, I'm looking for Officer Lu. He asked me to come here."
The policewoman in the window blinked and said, "Oh, it's Mr. Jiang, I guess. Lu Suo told me, come to the reception room with me and wait for a while. Lu Suo will be here soon."
"OK."
The policewoman led Jiang Bai to the reception room, poured a glass of water and went out.
Not even a minute later, the door to the reception room was pushed open, and a policeman in his forties, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and wheat-colored skin walked in.
He smiled and stretched out his right hand: "Hello, my name is Lu Yan, and I am the deputy director. We just talked on the phone before."
"Hello, Director Lu, my name is Jiang Bai."
Jiang Bai stood up and shook hands with Lu Yan.
"Haha, your name is well known to me. Lao Lin from the Changhe Police Station next door is an old comrade with me, and he often mentions you to me."
"He said that you are his lucky star and have given him a lot of achievements. In the third quarter, Changhe Police Station was able to rank among the top three among more than 100 police stations. You are also indispensable."
Lu Yan said with a hearty smile.
Jiang Bai smiled and said, "Director Lu, please stop joking. I am just a common man. If I don't have these abilities, I will bring trouble to the government."
"If this is causing trouble, I would rather have a few people like you come over and cause trouble for me."
Lu Yan made a joke.
Then the smile faded and we started talking about business.
The old man's name is Zhou Kaihe. He is sixty-nine years old. He had an accident in Jiang Bai's shop at about 11 o'clock the night before yesterday. He slipped from the second floor and fell to the first floor. The fall was not light. If someone hadn't happened to pass by,
I heard the noise and checked with a flashlight. I was kind enough to help call 120. It's possible that someone might have died inside without anyone noticing.
When 120 arrived at the scene, Zhou Kaihe was already in shock. The back of his head was bruised and bleeding a lot. Anyway, it was quite serious.
He was rushed to the hospital and rescue operations began.
Until now, we are still not out of danger.
Jiang Bai's shop is located on Changfeng Street, so this case naturally falls under the jurisdiction of Changfeng Police Station.
After listening to Lu Yan's story, Jiang Bai asked: "Director Lu, do the family members of this Uncle Zhou know about it?"
"He has a son and a daughter. They have been notified. They should be in the hospital now." Lu Yan replied, then looked at Jiang Bai and said, "Jiang Bai, I want to hear your attitude on this matter first."
Jiang Bai pondered for a moment and then said: "Since Uncle Zhou fell badly, I won't go into details about why he entered my shop without permission. In any case, he was injured in my shop.
Yes, I will go to the hospital to check on you later, and depending on the situation, I may give you some compensation out of humanitarianism or something."
Seeing that the other party was so young, he was looking at Ben Guxi, and even threw himself into the emergency room. He had learned a lesson, and Jiang Bai didn't bother to argue with him.
If it were serious, this person would probably be able to escape from illegal intrusion into a house or burglary.
As for financial compensation...
To put it bluntly, Jiang Bai is not short of money, so it depends on the situation.
As he said, if the other party's conditions are difficult and his attitude is good, just give him some money and treat it as a good deed. These are small things.
Lu Yan nodded slowly.
He had already heard about some of Jiang Bai's deeds, and knew that this young man was famous for being serious and never knew what it meant to give in.
Before meeting him in person, he was really worried about Jiang Bai being serious.
That would be really difficult to deal with.
The results so far are pretty good.
At this moment, a cell phone rang.
Lu Yan answered the phone:
"Hello, I'm Lu Yan."
"What? Zhou Kaihe died? Okay, I understand."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Yan looked at Jiang Bai solemnly, sighed and then slowly said: "You heard it, this matter has become complicated."
Jiang Bai was also quite helpless.
After all, what he was most worried about happened.
Unless a person dies, nothing can be said.
But now people are dead...
Everything becomes complicated.
Jiang Bai shook his head and said: "I didn't expect that life is so fragile. It will be gone if you say no, alas..."
"Jiang Bai, you have to be mentally prepared. I'm worried that the family members of the deceased may have some extreme words and deeds when they are excited."
Lu Yan said in a deep voice.
Jiang Bai smiled slightly, his face full of indifference.
He really isn't afraid of this.
If the other party is reasonable, he will be reasonable too, but if the other party is acting like a hooligan, don't blame him for using his big move.
While the two were talking, there was a noise outside.
Immediately afterwards.
With a "bang" sound, the door of the reception room was kicked open.
A middle-aged man about forty years old with a sinewy face rushed in menacingly, glanced at Lu Yan, and shouted loudly at Lu Yan: "Officer Lu! My father is gone, why don't you hurry up and catch the murderer! Kill with your life.
It is a matter of course that the murderer must face legal punishment, and I will never be done with him on this matter!"
Lu Yan stood up and said, "Mr. Zhou, I just heard about your father. I understand your feelings very well, but where did this murderer come from? Your father's death was purely accidental."
When the middle-aged man heard this, his eyes suddenly widened.
His name is Zhou Hongtao, and he is the son of Zhou Kaihe.
Zhou Hongtao shouted emotionally: "Officer Lu, it's impossible for my dad to fall down in that store for no reason, right? I suspect someone committed an murder! The store owner, it must be the store owner who pushed my dad down from the second floor on purpose.
He is the murderer!"
Lu Yan said in a calm voice: "Mr. Zhou, please calm down first. We have conducted a rigorous survey of the scene. Except for your father, no traces of a second person were found at the scene. After simulating traces and falling trajectories, we have ruled out
There is no possibility that others might commit murder. This is indeed a simple accident."
Zhou Hongtao still looked unwilling.
At this time, Jiang Bai said: "I drank some wine last night and didn't go out until about ten o'clock until this morning. The community surveillance can prove it. Your father had an accident around eleven o'clock. I was at home at that time, so it was impossible to commit murder.
"
"Whoosh!"
Zhou Hongtao suddenly turned his head and looked at Jiang Bai, his eyes fierce.
"Are you the shop owner?"
"That shop is indeed mine." Jiang Bai nodded.
"Okay, it turns out it's you!"
"Even if you are not the murderer, you cannot escape responsibility!"
"My dad lost his life after falling in your shop. Why didn't you fix the guardrail on the second floor? Why did you put the tables and stools on the first floor?"
"If you weren't so careless, how could my dad have fallen from the second floor? Even if he fell, if he didn't hit the table or stool, he wouldn't have died like this!"
Zhou Hongtao glared at Jiang Bai with fierce eyes, gritted his teeth and roared word by word: "You! Must! Bear! Responsibility!"
Jiang Bai frowned.
I feel extremely unhappy inside.
"What do you want me to be responsible for?"
Zhou Hongtao said without thinking: "You have to be responsible for all the expenses incurred by my father in the hospital, as well as the subsequent funeral expenses, and you have to compensate me in one lump sum... one million!"
"hehe……"
Facing this man's lion's mouth, Jiang Bai was too lazy to speak and just sneered back.
What a big joke!
"You're still here fucking gloating! I'm telling you, my dad is dead, everyone is dead, you know, you have to be responsible! I'm telling you you can't escape!"
Zhou Hongtao yelled angrily.
Perhaps at first he felt more sad and angry, but at this moment, what he cared about more was compensation and Mane.
"Responsible?"
"Sorry, our client is not responsible!"
At this moment, a steady and powerful voice came from outside.
Luo Dazhuang walked in with his hands behind his back, nodded to Jiang Bai, then looked at Zhou Hongtao and said: "I am Mr. Jiang Bai's lawyer, my surname is Luo."
"The shop is the private property of our client. Your father entered the shop without our client's permission. This behavior is suspected of illegal trespassing and theft. We reserve the right to prosecute him."
"As for what you said about being responsible, I'm sorry. Your father is an adult with a sound mind and full capacity for civil conduct. If he enters other people's shops without permission, he should accept the risk at his own risk!"
"He fell to his death in a shop and had nothing to do with the owner of the shop!"
"Our client will not bear any responsibility for this, whether criminally or civilly."
Zhou Hongtao glared and was about to retort, but Luo Dazhuang didn't give him a chance to speak at all, and then said: "Furthermore, due to the death of your father, our client's shop has seriously depreciated in value. This loss should be borne by your father."
."
"He passed away, but the responsibility did not disappear, but was passed on to his children, which is you."
"As for the specific amount of loss, we will ask a professional organization to assess it."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was dead silence in the reception room.
Zhou Hongtao's face was filled with astonishment, and he almost thought there was something wrong with his ears.
Otherwise, why would I hear such outrageous words?
