After the divorce, he took care of his child and sold fried rice; his ex-wife was filled with regret

"Stop talking nonsense! Now you're scared? Where were you before?!"

Officer Zhang's eyes were icy as he turned to the two officers in the car and ordered, "Xiao Li, take him to the designated hospital for X-rays and wound cleaning, and do a forensic examination. After that, bring him back to the station!"

"yes!"

The young police officer swiftly stepped forward, grabbed Zhao San'er's arm behind his back, and dragged the muddy and blood-covered young man toward the police car.

The male anchor with the goatee and the female anchor in the red down jacket standing behind turned deathly pale when they saw Zhao San'er, who usually acted arrogantly on the street, being handcuffed and put into a car.

The goatee-bearded livestreamer hunched his shoulders and shrank back, trying to slip into the crowd of onlookers.

However, before he could even take a step, a large hand suddenly reached out from behind him!

Old Liu, the repairman, had been a fitter for decades. His fingers were as hard as cast iron pliers. He grabbed the goatee's elbow and twisted it backward with all his might!

"Where do you want to go?!"

Old Liu grabbed the man with the goatee by the back of his down jacket collar and dragged him like a sack of potatoes to Officer Zhang:

"Officer! It's him! That bastard!"

"He was the one who led this group of people to block the alley entrance early in the morning, shouting and shining a large light into Old Lady Wang's face!"

"He was the one yelling the loudest and encouraging others to throw eggs! Now that guy's been caught, this bastard's trying to run away!"

Old Liu's grip on the goatee made his arm ache, the bones almost dislocated, and he gasped for breath.

"Old man, let go! Why are you grabbing me?! It hurts... let go!"

He hurriedly turned to Officer Zhang and cried out, "Officer! Please do something about this old man! I'm just a passerby, a social media user, taking some news photos. That guy was the one throwing eggs and bricks! What does it have to do with me?!"

Officer Zhang frowned and quickly stepped forward: "Let go first, don't tear it."

Officer Zhang, with his sharp eyes, sized up the man with the goatee, his voice stern yet calm:

Were you involved in what just happened?

The man with the goatee turned pale and hurriedly explained, "Officer, we were just filming some street news. Filming isn't illegal, is it...?"

"Filming news? Do you have a proper press pass?"

The goatee was speechless when Officer Zhang asked him a question that was calm but hit the nail on the head. His already pale face turned even paler.

He stammered for a long time, his mouth agape, "Officer... Officer, it's the age of social media now, everyone's a reporter... We post short videos to record our lives, we don't need any press cards, right...?"

"Without a press pass, it's not compliant news reporting!"

Officer Zhang, with a somber expression, interrupted him in a businesslike manner:

"A crowd gathered early in the morning in this narrow alley, blocking residents' passage, and some people were bleeding and injured!"

"As one of the main parties involved, you cannot prove your identity as a reporter and are also suspected of involvement in the on-site conflict. You must return to the police station for investigation and verification! Xiao Li, take both of them to the second police car!"

Looking at Officer Zhang's square face, devoid of any smile, Goatee's last glimmer of hope vanished completely. He tucked his hands into his sleeves, not daring to utter a single word.

The female anchor in the red down jacket next to her was so frightened by what she saw that she didn't dare to breathe and obediently lowered her head. She was taken to the back of the police car by the police officers.

The physical evidence at the scene has been mostly secured.

Officer Zhang turned around and strode up the steps in front of the shop.

He looked at Su Xiaoxiao, who was covered in foul-smelling egg slurry, then at Aunt Wang, and finally at Lin Fan, and said seriously:

"Gentlemen, this case is serious."

"But according to the proper procedures for handling cases, you two, as the parties involved, must immediately come with me to the police station to give formal statements."

"Also, could you please export the original video clips from the high-definition surveillance camera at the entrance?"

Standing to the side, Aunt Wang wiped away her tears, grabbed Su Xiaoxiao's arm, and said firmly:

"Officer! I'm going too! I need to go to the station to testify! I can't let my good daughter take the blame for me for no reason!"

Old Liu tucked the large wrench behind his back, patted his chest, and said, "That's right! I'm going too! I'm the first eyewitness, and I called the police. I can explain everything that happened perfectly clearly. I'll testify for Boss Lin and Xiao Xiao!"

Officer Zhang nodded: "Okay, the victim and the first witness at the scene are both here. Let's go back to the station together to give our statements."

Lin Fan remained calm, but hesitated for a moment.

He glanced towards the second floor.

"Officer Zhang, I have no problem going back to the station to cooperate with the case. Please wait for me for two minutes while I go upstairs to settle the child in," Lin Fan said.

"Okay, go ahead," Officer Zhang replied understandingly.

Lin Fan pushed the door open and stepped into the shop.

A warm breeze wafted through the quiet lobby.

In the shadows leading to the kitchen on the first floor, a tall, slender figure with a cool and aloof expression stood silently.

It was Lin Yi, the bionic servant.

The moment the commotion broke out outside, Lin Yi's underlying logic had already automatically locked onto the highest level of security. However, since Lin Fan had not given any orders, she remained unmoved, steadily guarding the only passageway leading to the second floor.

Lin Fan strode up to Lin Yi, looked at this silent and reliable attendant, and whispered a clear instruction:

"Lin Yi, Xiao Xiao and I need to go to the local police station to handle a case."

"Go up to the second floor now and make sure Tuantuan's personal safety is absolutely guaranteed."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi nodded slightly, indicating that she understood. Then she went straight up the solid wood staircase to the second floor.

Lin Fan followed and quickly went upstairs.

The bedroom on the second floor was warm and cozy. Tuantuan had just been awakened by the noise outside and was rubbing her sleepy eyes as she sat up from under the covers.

"Daddy..." the little girl called out in her childish voice, her eyes still a little dazed.

Lin Fan stepped forward, sat down on the edge of the bed, pulled the blanket up a little for his daughter, and said gently:

"Good boy/girl, Daddy and Auntie Xiaoxiao are going out to run some business. Your cousin will stay here with you. Play with your blocks on the bed for a while, and Daddy will make you something delicious when he gets back."

"Okay." The little girl nodded obediently and picked up the teddy bear next to her.

With Lin Yi by his side, even if a dozen strong men came from outside, they would never be able to get close. Lin Fan's biggest concern was completely put to rest.

He went downstairs to the computer tower and unplugged the USB drive containing the surveillance video.

At this moment, Su Xiaoxiao was standing at the gate waiting.

Lin Fan walked to the solid wood coat rack by the door, reached out and took down a spare dark blue thick trench coat and handed it over.

"Okay, thank you, Brother Lin." Su Xiaoxiao's eyes welled up with tears. She quickly put on the trench coat and zipped it up tightly.

Lin Fan stepped out of the doorway and closed the heavy solid wood door behind him.

"Let's go, Officer Zhang."
