Chapter 124: The Law Is Forgiving

Not long after, a police car stopped. A young man in his thirties got off first. He was wearing a police uniform and was the captain of a small team. Behind him were two ordinary police officers.
“Everyone, disperse for a while. Don’t gather, don’t gather!”
Captain Hu first dispersed the crowd outside. As soon as the two ordinary constables entered, the owner of the liquor store immediately came forward to hand him a cigarette. Although the two policemen did not take it, they smiled politely when they saw his enthusiasm.
Then, he came to Xu Wenping and said with a cold face, “It’s you two young people who smashed the wine in someone else’s store. Aren’t you going to compensate them? We’re here to investigate. We hope you’ll cooperate.”
Xu Wenping smiled lightly and said, “1 didn’t say that I won’t pay. I just said that his wine isn’t worth that much. Officer, do I have to pay for the counterfeit?”
“Of course, I admit that I did a good job smashing other people’s things. However, the bottle of wine lying on the ground. I can only pay 100 yuan at most, and he can still make a profit.”
“I’ve already cooperated.”
The two policemen saw that Xu Wenping was not afraid in the face of danger and argued with reason. When facing them, he did not have the same way as the boss of the exclusive store.
Instead, he said it in a righteous manner.
The two policemen also turned to look at Old Nine and said, “He said you sold fake wine.”
Old Nine panicked and quickly went to the counter to open the drawer. He took out his business license and certificate and said, “How is that possible? Look!
I’m a law-abiding citizen. All my documents are complete. You can’t believe his one-sided story. Just say that I sold fake wine!?”
The two new officers who had just debuted were also a little embarrassed at this time. Xu Wenping was righteous and argued with reason. However, Old Nine had also taken out his identification card and said so.
When the two young officers turned to look at Captain Hu, Captain Hu smiled and said, “Can’t solve it?”
The two new officers smiled awkwardly.
At this moment, Old Nine also stepped forward and said, “Captain Hu, you must help me… Even if the two of them cannot afford to pay the money today, they can ask their family to send it over a few days later. Isn’t it embarrassing to say that I’m selling fake wine?”
Captain Hu only raised his eyebrows slightly and didn’t give Old Nine a good look. When he saw Xu Wenping, he was only slightly stunned. Then, he rubbed his eyes and took another look.
Immediately after, he walked forward with a smile on his face and quickly reached out his hand to Xu Wenping. “Hello, Mr. Xu. I’m Hu Daguang, constable of the Economic Investigation Department of Zhongxing District Police Station!”
The two officers were slightly stunned.
Old Nine’s hand suddenly trembled.
A strange light flashed across Xu Wenping’s eyes. Facing the other party’s kindness, he quickly shook hands and said, “You know me?”
“D*mn!”
Hu Daguang turned his head and patted the necks of the two policemen. “I’m sorry, Mr. Xu. We’ve collectively seen your deeds and the commendation ceremony last time. We’ve also given homework on this matter. We hope that the younger generation can learn from you. These two kids have just joined the work, and they must not be serious and slacking off, so they didn’t recognize you.”
When Hu Daguang said this, the two junior policemen rubbed their eyes. Then, they immediately reacted. While they were excited, they also looked at Hu Daguang with admiration.
“Captain Hu…!” Old Nine suddenly spoke with a panicked expression.
Hu Daguang also looked very upright. He walked in front of Old Nine and said, “Old Nine, I always thought that you were a law-abiding old citizen. Now it seems that I misjudged you.”
“Come back with me this time. I want to re-investigate the matter of you fighting last time!”
Old Nine panicked and gritted his teeth. “Brother Hu… Why? I’m an honest person to begin with. I’m doing my business seriously… You have to tell me, why? The two of them can’t afford to pay this money. If they have a background, can’t 1 just admit it?”
“But you said that about me… How am I supposed to behave in the future?”
Hu Daguang didn’t care about Old Nine’s acting. Then, he turned to Xu Wenping and said, “Mr. Xu, I want to ask you a question.”
“Hmm?”
“Is only this bottle of wine in his shop fake, is this series fake, or is it all fake?”
Xu Wenping smiled. “I just took a look. There are at least four or five sets of syringe injections. They are fake. I want you to open the bottles for testing. I guess… Perhaps Xiao-Xiaobai’s 18-yuan bid is real.”
“You’re slandering me! Slander! You have connections, and you are colluding with each other!” the panicked Old Nine immediately shouted loudly.
Hu Daguang waved his hand and asked two constables to hold Old Nine back. After expressing his gratitude to Xu Wenping, he stepped forward and looked at Old Nine as if he was looking at a clown.
“I’ll tell you the reason now.”
“Mr. Xu, you received a commendation in our government hall a few days ago. All the leaders of the city were in place, and the leaders came down to observe. In the past few decades, he was the only young man in our Eastern Province who had been commended for being an advanced person. He is a benchmark figure.”
“He doesn’t forget the people in business. He donated hundreds of millions of poverty relief funds just like that. Do you think he cares about a bottle of wine? Or will he not be able to compensate you with a bottle of wine?”
“Even with my investigative eyes, whether it’s Mr. Xu’s watch or the lady’s watch beside him, any one of them would be enough for your shop. Their clothes and even a piece of jewelry would be enough for you to buy many bottles of wine. Do they need to cheat you of a few thousand yuan?”
“Now, I can even suspect that you deliberately smeared advanced public figures! You’re guilty of framing someone!”
Old Nine’s face turned pale.
He looked at Xu Wenping with regret. He looked at the man who was holding a thermos flask and did not have a sharp aura. When he wanted to explain himself, he realized that it was meaningless to say anything at this moment. Let a billionaire write a letter of forgiveness for him?
The government was working hard to uphold the honor of the advanced!
Hu Dahai walked up to Xu Wenping. After thinking for a while, he took out his notebook and said, “Mr. Xu, as usual, I’ll leave your phone number. After we capture Old Nine, we will send the wine here to the laboratory for review.”
“If there are any problems with the regulations, I hope to obtain your cooperation. As for the progress of the case, we can also effectively inform you as soon as possible!”
Xu Wenping nodded casually.
“Alright, you can leave now.”
Xu Wenping held Su Caiwei’s hand and turned around to leave. Both of them had strange smiles on their faces. Although Xu Wenping’s commendation was just an honor, honor was useless in society and the outside world. However, honor was something that the government cherished the most.
After the two of them left, Hu Daguang looked at Old Nine helplessly and said, “What else do you have to say?”
Old Nine lowered his head and said softly, “Wait for me to come out… I won’t miss the City News Channel again..”
