Zhu Yuanzhang in the cellar

Chapter 16 Daming was wiped out by the police station
The police car, the van and Ji He's car drove into the town police station.

The police station is just behind the town government. Turn into the alley on the left side of the town entrance. There is a large parking lot inside.

Zhu Yunfeng parked the car, picked up his phone and checked the time. It was already 6:51.

After he got out of the car, he saw Xie Minghui and Xiao Wang already uncuffing Zhu Yuanzhang and the others in the police car, so he walked over and asked, "Uncle Xie, where should I go now?"

"Just go to the hall with Xiao Wang and take a statement."

Xie Minghui glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, and whispered to him in dialect: "Yunfeng, things are not easy to handle, you should be mentally prepared?"

"What's wrong?"

Zhu Yunfeng was confused. What happened?
"We'll talk about it later."

Xie Minghui shook his head and said.

He and Xiao Wang brought Zhu Yuanzhang and others into the station.

It is not even seven o'clock in the morning yet. The police station starts working at nine o'clock, or civil servants work from nine to five, so there are not many people in the station, only two people on duty.

"Xiao Li, come and take a statement with me."

Xie Minghui greeted a staff member on duty, then took Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di separately into the interrogation room and began interrogating them.

One of the on-duty personnel, Xiao Li, was with Xie Minghui, while another on-duty personnel, Xiao Sun, was with Xiao Wang in the lobby of the police station taking a statement from Zhu Yunfeng and asking Zhu Yunfeng to repeat what had happened.

At this time in the interrogation room, Xie Minghui interrogated Zhu Di first. He believed that young people would not be able to withstand the pressure, so he should start with a simpler interrogation.

It was also the first time that Zhu Di sat on the chair of regret, and he sat on the chair with a confused look on his face.

Xie Minghui asked, "What's your name?"

"Zhu Di."

"Which place?"

"Mu Li Di."

“Very cultured.”

Xiao Li smiled as he recorded.

"What culture? Isn't this the name of Emperor Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty?"

Xie Minghui also laughed, thinking that although this boy didn't do anything good, he was really brave enough to choose a name.

Both of them spoke in dialect. After all, two locals were used to communicating in their local dialect. Even during interrogation, they only spoke Mandarin to the suspect, so Zhu Di did not understand the meaning of this sentence.

"Where are you from?"

"Can not remember."

"Did you bring your ID card?"

Xiao Li asked again.

"I have a headache."

When Zhu Di heard the ID card, he immediately started to perform, covering his head and pretending to be in pain.

"What's the matter?"

Xiao Li saw the blood on Zhu Di's face.

Xie Minghui said: "When I was stealing the dog, I got into a fight with the owner and was beaten up by him."

"This is difficult to handle. We need to send her to the hospital."

Xiao Li became nervous.

According to the procedure, they must first send the injured to the hospital and treat them before they can continue to investigate the case.

"Well"

Xie Minghui hesitated for a moment, then asked Zhu Di: "Then shall we send you to the hospital?"

"Don't go."

Zhu Di shook his head repeatedly.

Zhu Yunfeng had reminded him to refuse to go to the hospital and to say he had a headache when interrogated.

In the end, the police will be helpless and can only mediate.

Then both parties reach a willingness to mediate, and the matter is over.

Otherwise, you will have to register your information when you go to the hospital, and not having an ID card will only make it more troublesome.

"Then can you tell me what happened?"

Seeing that he didn't go to the hospital, Xie Minghui asked again.

"I have a headache. I forgot."

Zhu Di said again.

“What should we do, Brother Xie, this guy is fooling us.”

Xiao Li turned his head and looked at Xie Minghui.

Xie Minghui shook his head and said, "Then let's go and try the other one first."

The two stood up and left the interrogation room and went to the next room.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was looking around the room.

The police station has four areas and eight rooms. The interrogation room is used to interrogate suspects.

This type of interrogation room appears many times in "Guarding Jiefang West".

However, although the name is different from the interrogation room of the Criminal Police Team, the function and appearance are actually the same.

There is a table, a computer, two policemen, and a chair opposite.

Xie Minghui sat down with Xiao Li, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, and said, "What's your name?"

"Zhu Yuanzhang."

Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"Zhu Yuanzhang?"

Xiao Li, who was in charge of recording, looked up and asked in surprise, "Which yuan, which chapter?"

"The first place in the imperial examination is Wang Lizaozhang."

Zhu Yuanzhang said expressionlessly.

There are no traditional Chinese characters in his name, because simplified Chinese characters are ancient characters, a simplified version that is easier for ordinary people to write, so we can accurately tell which three characters they are.

Hearing his words, Xiao Li was stunned for a moment, then asked tentatively: "Are you Zhu Yuanzhang, the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty?"

Now it was Zhu Yuanzhang's turn to be stunned. Thinking that his identity had been exposed, he asked in surprise, "You know me?"

"So the person next door is Emperor Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty?"

Xiao Li looked and pointed to the next room.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded expressionlessly and said, "He is my fourth son."

Xie Minghui's cheek twitched slightly.

Xiao Li immediately became happy and said, "Thank you, our police station is going to be famous. We wiped out the founding emperor and Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop."

Then he looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and asked, "Are you sure you are Zhu Yuanzhang?"

"I am."

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "I will not change my name when I travel or my surname when I sit."

Xiao Li thought about it, took out his phone, searched for Zhu Yuanzhang's portrait on the Internet, displayed it and said, "Is this photo of you?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked over and saw a pig kidney face with a portrait of Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty written on it. He was surprised and asked, "Is this the portrait of Zhu Yuanzhang? Where did it come from?"

"Let me check."

Xiao Li searched for it and said, "It is said that it was painted by a court painter of the Ming Dynasty for Zhu Yuanzhang, and it was circulated among the people in the middle of the Ming Dynasty."

"so?"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned.

If it is confirmed that it was painted by a court painter of the Ming Dynasty, then perhaps it is something I will leave behind for my future old age.

Then why did you let people paint you like this in your later years?

He thought about it and realized there could only be one reason, which was to maintain his rule.

Because this appearance looks like a pig kidney face to modern people, but to the ancients it was called "majestic appearance, with strange bones on the top of the head. The mind is so broad that no one can fathom it."

In simple terms, this is the appearance of a dragon statue.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that he should be able to change his appearance, which would also deepen the people's impression of him as the true dragon emperor.

Zhu Yuanzhang then said: "Since the picture above is Zhu Yuanzhang, the person above is me."

"you sure?"

"Sure. I was pretty skinny back then."

"That's not you."

"You're saying that wasn't me?"

"No."

"I said it's not me."

Zhu Yuanzhang said excitedly: "Maybe the painter just drew it randomly. I don't believe that my true appearance is not left behind."

Xiao Li searched again and found another version of Zhu Yuanzhang with a round face. Looking at the current Zhu Yuanzhang, he raised his phone and asked, "Is this you?"

Zhu Yuanzhang leaned over to take a look. He thought to himself that this phone could actually be used in this way. The portrait on it was so lifelike and resembled himself to some extent. He said, "Is this Zhu Yuanzhang's true appearance?"

"That should be the case. Anyway, there are only two versions. I checked and they are both handed down from the Ming Dynasty."

"That's me too. I was already fat at that time."

"Pfft."

Xiao Li chuckled and said, "Aren't you ashamed?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was indeed not very fat at the moment. He was much thinner than he was in his later years when he had a round face and was plump. After all, it was only the twelfth year of Hongwu, and there were still nineteen years before his death, so the police did not believe him at all. "Okay, stop talking nonsense. Take out your ID card. If you don't have it with you, tell me the number."

Xie Minghui was very upset.

This guy must be mentally ill.

He went to the police station and pretended to be Emperor Taizu of Ming.

And Xiao Li is also free.

"I have a headache."

Zhu Yuanzhang also immediately covered his head and said, "That kid outside beat me up badly, and now I have a terrible headache."

"This"

Xiao Li looked at Xie Minghui.

Xie Minghui's heart sank, so he had to ask, "What do you want?"

"Ask him to pay."

Zhu Yuanzhang spoke according to Zhu Yunfeng's previous words.

"Then I'll communicate with the other party first."

Xie Minghui got up and went out.

Xiao Li followed behind him, and when they came out of the interrogation room, he burst into laughter.

Xiao Wang and Xiao Sun, who were taking Zhu Yunfeng's statement in the office outside, saw this and asked in confusion, "Why is it so funny?"

"Do you know who's in there?"

Xiao Li was overjoyed.

Xiao Wang asked curiously: "Who?"

"One is Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, and the other is Ming Chengzu Zhu Di."

Xiao Li couldn't stop laughing.

"hehe."

Xiao Sun smiled and said, "Does that mean Taizu and Ming Chengzu were wiped out by our police station in one fell swoop?"

Xiao Li said happily: "I think so too."

Xiao Wang said: "He is pretending to be mentally ill. He may be trying to escape legal punishment in this way. I have seen many people like him. Once he arrives at the police station, he pretends to be crazy and stupid."

"Then do you still want to check?"

"Check your ass."

Xie Minghui threw the notebook on the desk and said, "It was just an attempted dog theft. We haven't even entered the house yet. It's not even enough to be detained."

Xiao Li said in embarrassment: "But we still have to confirm their identities, otherwise it will be difficult to close the case. And what if these two are fugitives online and want to use this as an excuse to evade police sanctions?"

"Well"

Xie Minghui pondered for a while and thought that what Xiao Li said made sense and he really needed to check it out.

He suddenly thought of the van, and said, "Go search their car to see if they have an ID card or driver's license."

Zhu Yunfeng, who was taking a statement in the hall, suddenly became nervous.

Time was too tight. It was already a struggle to finish things in the house, and there was no time to deal with things in the car.

Xiao Li got the van keys from Xiao Wang, got into the van outside, and came out after a while and said, "Found it. There is a driver's license. The old man should be called Zhang San."

"Yo yo yo, an outlaw."

Xiao Wang and Xiao Sun laughed.

Xie Minghui took the driver's license from Xiao Li and glanced at it.

Zhu Yunfeng looked at him nervously.

Unexpectedly, Xie Minghui did not find anything wrong, but nodded and said: "Now that the identity has been confirmed, let's check his identity information first."

As he said this, he handed the driver's license in his hand to Xiao Sun, who took the license and started operating the computer in the hall.

"what?"

The computer suddenly turned off silently.

The lights in the hall were also off.

Everyone looked up, and Xiao Wang slapped his head and said, "By the way, the power supply station is undergoing maintenance this morning, so the power will be out for a while."

Zhu Yunfeng's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down.

Fortunately, the power supply station was on time.

"They are from Songxi Town next door. I'll give them a call and ask their chief."

Xie Minghui thought of the residential address he had just seen on the driver's license, so he walked to the door, took out his cell phone and called.

After a while, the call was connected and he said, "Hello, Lao Liu, I have something to ask you."

"We have arrested two people here. One of them is called Zhang San. Do you know him?"

"He's a habitual dog thief, right?"

"Yeah, it's okay. There's another one whose name I don't know for now."

"Li Si? Yes, yes, fine, just be sure you're not an online fugitive. You're acting crazy here."

"An old routine? Yeah, okay, I get it."

After hanging up the phone, Xie Minghui said helplessly: "These two are old timers in stealing dogs. They were caught and beaten up in their town before, and they pretended to be crazy and stupid to get compensation. Now they come to our town to commit crimes again."

Then he looked at Zhu Yunfeng and said, "Yunfeng, the problem now is that you injured someone. What if they ask you to pay compensation?"

"Why? They came to my house to steal the dog."

Zhu Yunfeng was secretly delighted.

Although he didn't understand why Xie Minghui didn't notice anything wrong with his driver's license, now that his identity had been confirmed, there would basically be no major problems.

"This is a difficult matter to handle. The main reason is that dog stealing is not a criminal case. Now it is an attempted dog theft, so we cannot detain them. And you injured them."

Xie Minghui thought for a moment and said, "How about this, I'll mediate between you two. He injected poison into the dog and injured you as well. Then you can ask for compensation from each other, or offset the damages, how about that?"

"That's fine."

Zhu Yunfeng pretended to be reluctant.

Xie Minghui and Xiao Li immediately brought Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di out, and they went to the mediation room together.

In the mediation room, everyone sat opposite each other.

Xie Minghui and Xiao Li sat in the middle, while Zhu Yunfeng sat face to face with Zhu Yuanzhang and his son.

"Tell me what you want."

Xie Minghui said.

"Compensate."

Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"You're overthinking it. You came to my house and stole the dog and you still want to pay for it?"

"You hurt me."

"Didn't you hurt me?"

"That's going to cost you money."

"Then let's compensate each other. How much do you want to compensate?"

"two thousand."

"Then you have to pay me two thousand."

"And my son."

"How much will he pay?"

"That's two thousand too."

"You poisoned my dog, so you have to pay two thousand."

Zhu Yunfeng looked calm.

Due to lack of time, he did not teach Zhu Yuanzhang and his son too many conversations.

This line was written on the spur of the moment.

Fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang was reliable and did not remember it wrong, otherwise he would have been exposed.

The two sides quarreled with each other for a few more sentences.

Zhu Yunfeng became more and more angry as he spoke: "All of you dog thieves deserve a horrible death, and you still have the nerve to ask for compensation?"

"I'm telling you, there's no compensation. You poisoned my dog ​​and injured me. Why don't we go to the hospital and make a bigger fuss."

"My dog ​​is worth thousands, and I've spent tens of thousands on it, which is enough to send you to prison."

"The dog thief who killed his whole family."

These lines contained some personal grudges, which made Zhu Yuanzhang and his son stunned and they didn't know how to start again.

In the end, it was Xie Minghui who persuaded him.

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang and his son standing there in a daze, he took the opportunity to give his suggestions for mediation, and then asked Zhu Yuanzhang and his son whether they agreed to the mediation.

The two nodded.

Xie Minghui breathed a sigh of relief, then took out the mediation documents for them to sign.

Since Zhu Yuanzhang and his son did not know how to use a water-based pen, Zhu Yunfeng took the lead in demonstrating, and then the two followed suit and completed the entire mediation process.

Because Zhu Yuanzhang and his son played the two dog thieves Zhang San and Li Si who had already been dealt with, they violated public security regulations and needed to be criticized and educated, so Zhu Yunfeng left the police station first.

He walked out of the police station, looked up at the surveillance camera in the yard, and his eyes were fixed on the forest behind the police station and the fields near the foot of the mountain.

Now the only task left is to make these two dog thieves disappear from public view.
