Restarting life by going to the countryside to support medical work

Chapter 147 Witnesses

With the intervention of the police, the matter was resolved very quickly.

The young man who was beaten seemed to be bleeding a lot, but they were actually only superficial injuries.

The middle-aged man who beat the man was an old hand and was very measured in his actions.

After bringing the two parties involved, the middle-aged man's friend and the hotel manager to the place, Li Yancheng first treated the scratch on the young waiter's head and stopped the bleeding from his nose, and then asked him to go to the meeting room to see how their matter should be handled.

The middle-aged man is a veteran and a tough guy. He has no money and his life is at stake. It is impossible to ask him to pay compensation. He would rather be locked up than pay a penny. It is obvious that he is a frequent visitor to the gambling den.

It was the captain of a team who brought them in. No one else interrupted. When the captain of a team saw what was happening, he directly called the local police station and asked them to take the people away and let them deal with them however they wanted.

Li Yancheng had never seen how such cases of fighting were handled, but he had heard in his previous life that in cases like when someone was slapped, the police station would usually mediate.

The person who hits someone apologizes to the person who is hit, and then both parties negotiate an acceptable amount of compensation, and then sign the mediation agreement of the police station, and the matter is over.

If the person who beats someone up has a formal job, then he will have to pay compensation, which is said to be tens of thousands.

But if it were the type of situation we're seeing today, there would be no way he could get money. If mediation fails and the two parties cannot reach a reconciliation, the police station would definitely have to deal with the person.

If a middle-aged man like this were to live in the future, he would be administratively detained for up to fifteen days and fined several hundred or a thousand yuan, and that would be it.

If the person who was beaten still wants him to pay compensation, he can only sue him in court. The first and second trials will take at least a year at the fastest.

The compensation supported by the court will not be much. It is impossible that if they slap you, they will include the cost of your chest X-ray in the hospital. It depends on whether you have the patience.

In his previous life, Li Yancheng saw many people on the Internet saying, "Oh, if anyone slaps me, I guarantee he will pay tens of thousands of dollars."

If you change it to someone who treats going to the detention center as going home, you won’t be able to get a penny, even if you lose the lawsuit and become a deadbeat.

"Captain Zeng, how will the police station deal with that person in the end?"

"What else can we do if we lock him up for a few days? The police station doesn't have any good way to deal with this kind of person who never makes big mistakes but keeps making small ones.

Didn't you see that he doesn't even have two cents on his body? If he was locked up for two years, he might be happy, because it would be like arranging a place for him to eat for free for a long time.

The waiter asked for it today. With his nose that wasn't a nose and his face that wasn't a face, it was only a matter of time before he got beaten.

I hope that the beating he received today will teach him a lesson. He can’t afford to offend just anyone. Just wait and see. That guy will definitely come and cause trouble again after he’s released from prison.

This waiter will have a hard time in the future unless he stops working here."

Captain Zeng pouted and shook his head.

There is no shortage of this kind of middle-aged man, and it is even more obvious in this era.

Unlike later generations, as long as you are able to endure hardship and swallow your pride, you can at least make a living out there.

It’s different now. If you can’t find a job, you can’t find a job. If you want to trade things in the market, but you don’t have the capital and skills, you can only watch others make money.

What to do if you have no money? It's easy. If you have no money, just find something to do, and then go to the artillery bureau for a few days, and you can still get a few meals. Although you have to work there, at least you can still have a few bites of plain food.

As for whether he would be bullied in there, since someone like him comes in and out every few days, anyone with nothing to do would bully him. It's good enough that he doesn't bully others.

……

This accidental fight seemed to have ended as the parties involved were taken away by the local police station. What Li Yancheng did not expect was that five days had passed and the waiter who was beaten that day came to him again.

After hearing the announcement from the duty officer, he was stunned for several seconds before coming back to his senses. He confirmed again with an incredulous look on his face: "Tiecheng, who did you say was looking for me at the gate?"

"He said his name was Chen Jin and he was a waiter at the Gulou Hotel."

Why is this guy looking for me?

With doubts, Li Yancheng came to the gate and saw that it was indeed the hotel waiter who was beaten by the middle-aged man that day. Although five days had passed, the bruises on his face had not completely disappeared, and he looked a little funny.

"Dr. Li, thank you for treating my wound that day."

When the waiter saw Li Yancheng coming out, he immediately bowed deeply and thanked him.

"You're welcome, you're welcome. How do you feel now?"

"It's no problem anymore."

"You... came to me just to thank me?"

"I want to tell you something else."

"What do you want to tell me?" Li Yancheng asked curiously.

He really couldn't figure out what this kid could say to him.

The waiter named Chen Jin first turned his head and looked around, and when he saw that no one was paying attention to this side, he took two steps forward.

Seeing this, Li Yancheng took a step back. He was really not used to being too close to strangers and still preferred to keep a certain distance, especially after the incident of someone disguising himself as his classmate last time.

Seeing him retreating, Chen Jin pursed his lips and did not move forward. Instead, he lowered his voice and said, "Doctor Li, I told you this because you did not mind my bad attitude that day and were willing to help me treat my wound. I have never told anyone about this.

"You are a police officer, so you should know about the body found in the collapsed warehouse at the Taifeng Liuliqiao Office last week, right?"

When Li Yancheng heard Chen Jin suddenly mention the case, his heart beat violently.

"I know, what do you want to say?"

"Doctor Li, what I want to tell you is that I saw the man who dumped the body. I haven't told anyone about this. I only told you because I think you are willing to help me."

!!!

Damn! Li Yancheng’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

"Where did you see the man who dumped the body?"

"It's in that warehouse."

Having said that, Chen Jin felt a little embarrassed. He scratched his head with his hand, and his expression was a little awkward.

"Doctor Li, my home is nearby. I took a day off last Tuesday, the 21st, and went home after get off work on the evening of the 20th. I usually stay in the dormitory behind our hotel when I'm at work and don't go home.

After I got back that night, I heard that the office's warehouse had collapsed under the snow, so I thought about going over to see if I could pick up anything valuable, so I went there late at night.

I walked around inside with a flashlight and found that except for some broken bricks, everything else had been cleaned up, so I prepared to leave.

As a result, when I just walked to the gate, I heard some noise outside. I was worried that it was the patrol, so I quickly hid behind the wall that had not collapsed at the gate, and looked out through the crack in the wall.

There was a street lamp outside. The man rode his bicycle over and stopped behind a tree under the street lamp. I saw that he first tied something under his feet, which looked like a wooden board.

Then he took off the two large bags tied to the back seat of his bicycle. After taking them off, he tied the upper bag back to the back seat, untied the lower bag, and took things out of it.

I took a closer look, oh my god, I was so scared that I almost peed my pants. What he took out of the bag was a naked woman. The woman's face was still the same. I couldn't explain it, but I could tell at a glance that she was dead.

After taking it out, he carried the woman on his shoulders and slowly walked into the warehouse on the wooden boards.

I was so scared at the time that I hid there and didn't dare to move. It was dark inside, and I could roughly see him throwing the woman onto the pile of bricks, and then he turned on the flashlight and looked at it for a long time.

As soon as I saw him turn on the flashlight, I huddled against the wall and covered my mouth. The man backed away from the warehouse step by step. If he turned around and shone the flashlight again, he might have seen me, which would have scared me to death.”

It can be seen that the boy was really scared. Even after so many days, his face was still pale when he mentioned this incident.

Seeing him like this, Li Yancheng didn't say anything. He just took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to him, then struck a match to help him light it.

This kid doesn't seem to know how to smoke. He choked and coughed when he took the first puff.

After calming down for a long time, he continued, "After the man got out, he didn't leave in a hurry. He first took off the wooden board on his feet and tied it to the big bag on the back seat, then took out a cigarette and lit it."

At this point, Chen Jin raised his hand and gestured, "The hat that man was wearing was a knitted hat with a circle on the top that could be lowered to cover his mouth. When he smoked, he didn't turn the cover up, but just lifted it up a little to expose his mouth.

I could only see through the cracks in the wall. It was far away and the street lights were not bright, so I couldn't see clearly, but I could see that he had a beard. As for his age, I think he should be around 40 or 50 years old. "

"Can you tell how tall he is?"

"Uh...it seems...it seems to be about the same size as me. He is much stronger than me, at least twice as strong as me." This guy is as thin as a bamboo pole. It is hard to find someone thinner than him.

As for height, Li Yancheng looked him up and down and found that Chen Jin looked about the same height as Xiao Yuan, which meant that the man should be about the same height, about 1.7 meters.

A middle-aged man of 1.7 meters tall, strong, with a beard, in his forties or fifties, has been portrayed to such an extent. Following the clues, the murderer should be easy to catch.

Li Yancheng compared what Chen Jin said in his mind with what Xiao Yuan said to him that day. These two people must be talking about the same person.

"Chen Jin, did he stay there and finish his cigarette before leaving?"

"No, I took two puffs and rode away on my bike."

"Did you notice what shoes he was wearing?"

"Shoes? Black cloth cotton shoes, they seem to be new." Chen Jin rolled his eyes and thought for a while, then shook his head gently.

"After that man left, did you go to see that woman?"

"See? Doctor Li, how could I dare to do that? I was so scared. I saw that person riding away on his bike, and I ran away immediately. I didn't sleep well for several days. As soon as I closed my eyes, I could see that woman floating in front of me."

The look of fear in Chen Jin's eyes was not fake.

"Oh, so it's because you didn't get enough rest during those few days, and you were scared and irritable, and you didn't dare to tell others about this kind of thing, so you got so irritable at work, right?"

"Uh...hehe..." Chen Jin nodded embarrassedly.

"If you don't dare to tell others, why don't you dare to report it to the police station?"

"Report them?" Chen Jin pouted and said, "I'm afraid of revenge from the murderer."

"Then why do you dare to tell me?"

"I just think you're a good person, Doctor Li."

nice guy?

Hearing this word, Li Yancheng couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

If he didn't clearly know that the word still had its original meaning, he would have suspected that Chen Jin was teasing him.

"Is that so, Chen Jin? Come in with me first. I'll get someone to come over and you describe to him everything you saw that night. I can assure you that nothing about you will be revealed to anyone else.

In addition, I can also let the man who beat you up that day deal with you, and I guarantee that he won’t dare to come and cause trouble for you again after he is released.”

"Swish"

The latter condition obviously struck Chen Jin in the heart, and his eyes suddenly became bright.

It's all bullshit saying that you think Li Yancheng is a good person and that's why you came to tell him about this.

He was just afraid that the guy who beat him up that day would cause trouble to him after he got out. No, it should be said that he would definitely cause trouble to him.

He had been thinking about it over and over again for the past two days. Seeing that the man would be released in a week, he really had no other choice, so he thought of coming to Li Yancheng to try his luck and see if he could use what he had accidentally seen to exchange for his own safety.

This kid is still thin-skinned. Even if everything is told to him, he is too embarrassed to open his mouth. Now that it is pointed out directly, his mouth is visibly stretched behind his ears.

"Thank you, Dr. Li. Thank you, Dr. Li."

"You're welcome." Li Yancheng raised his hand and patted his arm: "Remember, when the person I find comes over later, tell him everything you saw in detail. Don't hide anything."

"I understand, Doctor Li, don't worry."

"Well, come on, follow me in first."

Who should I tell? Of course, Kim Ji-hae.

Although this case has not been brought to the attention of their City Bureau's Criminal Investigation Division II, if he can provide information to the Taifeng Branch and help solve the case, then no one can take away the credit that belongs to him.

……

By the time Jin Zhihai arrived, it was already more than an hour later. He got off work at around six in the afternoon.

Li Yancheng used his own meal ticket to buy a meal for each of them and let them eat and talk in his own clinic.

Compared to his roughness, Jin Zhihai, a professional, asked much more detailed questions. By the time they finished sending Chen Jin away, it was almost eight o'clock.

Chen Jin felt very relaxed when he left. Jin Zhihai had already promised him that he would go to the police station tomorrow to ensure that the man would not dare to cause trouble to him again.

Those who are in a tough situation and are facing the police station may dare to act recklessly because they know that the police station can't do anything to them.

But if you face the criminal investigation, it's like a mouse meeting a cat, because they have plenty of ways to deal with him. Do you still want to hide in the police station and eat free meals? Haha, just two simple moves can guarantee that you will never want to eat again in the future.

"boom"

Watching Chen Jin walking away in the night, Jin Zhihai raised his hand and patted Li Yancheng on the back. The sound of the pat was so loud that it felt like revenge.

"Sure, brother. You are really my lucky star. You can find witnesses for me in this case."

"Damn it, Jin Zhihai, you ate too much and couldn't digest it, right? I just helped you, and this is how you repay me?"

That slap made Li Yancheng gasp.

It is true that he is very strong now, but after all, he has never been thrown down and cannot take a beating. Jin Zhihai was so excited that he did not control his strength and he was hit so hard that he felt like he could hardly breathe.

"Hey, come here, let me rub it for you."

"No, no, no, please don't let me break you apart."

Li Yancheng politely declined Jin Zhihai's offer to help him rub it, hoping that it would make the pain worse.

Seeing his brother's obviously overwhelmed smile, he asked in confusion, "Why are you so excited?"

"How can I say that you are my lucky star? The Taifeng Branch just handed over this case to us today. Our team is now in charge of this case. When you called, our team had just finished the analysis meeting."

That's it!

"It's only been a week, how come Taifeng has transferred the case to you?"

"Let's go, talk as we go."

It's almost eight o'clock now, and Jin Zhihai is anxious to go back and play with his son.

"Taifeng has done a lot of work. Through investigation and interviews, they have also found several eyewitnesses. The situations described by these eyewitnesses are similar to what Chen Jin just said.

However, unlike Chen Jin who saw the murderer dump the body with his own eyes, those people only saw someone riding a bicycle in the middle of the night with two large bags.

Taifeng followed the direction described by the witness and found that this guy was quite fast at running. People saw him in the west of the city, Wuxuan and Shishan. It is now preliminarily determined that the murderer is not from Taifeng and the murder scene is probably not in Taifeng. This is just a body dumping site.

The next step in investigating the case is to coordinate with the three districts of Chengxi, Wuxuan and Shishan. There is no other way but for them to transfer the case to us.”

No wonder!

Li Yancheng nodded in sudden realization.

This is really a catch-up.

That person most likely did it on purpose, just to muddy the waters, which is why he can be seen in all four districts.

"Huh? That's not right. How could he pedal a bicycle with such a heavy load and travel across four districts in just two or three hours?"

"Haha, you thought of that too?"

Jin Zhihai smiled and nodded: "Comrades from Taifeng and we all thought of this. This guy should have other means of transportation. Otherwise, according to the approximate route and time provided by the witnesses, it would be impossible to do it."

The only other means of transportation are cars and rickshaws.

The noise made by the truck was too loud, it might be a car.
