Xia Wan quickly helped Yan Han calm down and advised, “Mom, don’t be angry at this kind of scoundrel.”
However, she knew very well that there were not many surveillance cameras in this era. The place that Liu Shi had chosen had no surveillance cameras. He had indeed tried to fight them, but in the end, he did not gain any advantage.
In an era where the law was more imperfect than just, the punishment for the perpetrator was also related to the degree of injury of the victim.
However, they were fine and had not been hurt by Liu Shi. Therefore, Liu Shi would not be punished severely just because he wanted to rob them of their clothes.
Chen MO suddenly winked at her. Xia Wan was a little surprised. What did he mean by that?
The next moment, Chen MO said to Officer Song, “Not only did he want to rob Xia Wan’s clothes, but he also stole my watch. I bought my watch at the mall, the latest model worth 30,000 yuan.”
Officer Song held his breath. 30,000 yuan was a great sum of money!
Even his salary was only a few hundred yuan a month. How long would it take for him to earn thirty thousand yuan?
Liu Shi panicked and scolded Chen MO, “Nonsense, I didn’t steal your watch.
What 30,000 yuan? How much money do you want? Why don’t you just say 100,000 yuan?”
Although Liu Shi was very arrogant in the village and was no stranger to bullying and robbing, he usually only robbed a few yuan. He knew next to nothing about the price of watches. With his family’s financial situation, he could not afford such luxury goods.
Therefore, when Chen MO offered 30,000 yuan for the watch, Liu Shi thought that he must be trying to scam him.
Chen MO sneered. “Just because you don’t understand the market for watches doesn’t mean that there aren’t such expensive watches. Liu Shi, you’re used to being arrogant in the village, but there are some people you shouldn’t offend.”
As he spoke, he pointed to Liu Shi’s pocket. “Officer Song, you guys go search him. I had a close encounter with him just now. My watch must be on him. If he transfers the watch later, then I’ll lose a lot.”
Officer Song did not dare to delay. He searched Liu Shi’s body and found a watch in his pocket. It was a leather rope with many diamonds inlaid on the surface. At a glance, it was obvious that it was expensive.
Officer Song waved the watch in front of Liu Shi. “What else do you have to say now? Look at the design and material of this watch. It’s normal for it to sell for 30,000 yuan. Come with us to the police station. This matter won’t be resolved so easily.”
He then looked at Chen MO and Xia Wan. “You’re also involved in this incident.
Please come with us to make a statement.”
Xia Wan nodded. As a law-abiding citizen of the new world, she would be very cooperative with the police.
In the police station, Xia Wan and Chen MO’s interrogation was relatively simple. Xia Wan only told the truth about what happened after they purchased the goods. Chen MO said that his watch disappeared after he fought with Liu Shi.
When it came to Liu Shi, however, things became a tad more difficult.
Officer Song looked at Liu Shi with a straight face and scolded him, “Did your fight with Xia Wan already happen?”
Liu Shi quickly explained, “Yes, I did fight with them, but they were framing us. How could I have stolen Chen Mo t s watch?”
“You mean Chen MO is framing you?” Officer Song sneered. “Did he put this watch in your pocket on purpose?”
Liu Shi’s eyes lit up. “Yes, yes, Officer Song, you’re completely right. Chen MO must have done this on purpose.”
Officer Song slammed the notebook on the table. “Bullsh*t!”
“If we hadn’t rushed over, you would have run away even if you couldn’t beat him. How would Chen MO have found you? If you take the watch away and sell it, who can prove that you stole it?”
Liu Shi was stunned. If he really stole Chen Mo’s watch, perhaps it was just as Officer Song had guessed. The first thing he would do was to act quickly.
But the truth was that he didn’t steal it at all. He was wronged!
However, Liu Shi’s shock made Officer Song think that Liu Shi’s thoughts had been guessed correctly.
He immediately became even more impolite and said to Liu Shi, “If you take the initiative to admit your mistake, we can still give you a lighter punishment. However, if you refuse to admit it, I can only take tough measures against you..”
