Xu Taiping followed the police car into the police station.

As the richest man in China, Xu Taiping had already revealed his identity to the police in a cryptic way when they were in the car. The reason why it was cryptic was that Xu Taiping was afraid of mentioning it too bluntly and being suspected of showing off.

Xu Taiping is very experienced in how to mention his identity in a subtle way. For example, he talked to the police about the rich list in China, and then casually mentioned the richest man, and then mentioned his name by the way.

As a result, Linshui County police were shocked.

The richest man in China was blackmailed out of 100,000 yuan in Linshui County! This is a big case!

Regardless of Xu Taiping's identity, extorting 100,000 yuan would be a huge amount of money under normal circumstances. Therefore, the Linshui County Police Department attached great importance to this case. The police chief personally led the team. When Xu Taiping arrived at the police station , he had retrieved the surveillance video and successfully targeted the group of old men and women blocking the road.

In fact, this is not technically difficult at all. Those old men and women walk in that area almost every day. When a wedding car passes by, they go up and ask for money or cigarettes. Their figures in the surveillance are so familiar, and now they all have high-definition cameras. Therefore, even the age spots on the faces of these old men were clearly photographed.

As a result, Linshui County police dispatched many police cars. About an hour after Xu Taiping was blackmailed, a total of seven old men and women suspected of blackmailing Xu Taiping were all arrested.

All these old men and women were brought into the police station. Of course, some of their family members were also brought in. After all, if the old men and women were staying at home and were suddenly taken away by the police, they would definitely have to follow them to understand the situation. .

Linshui County Police Station has not been so lively for a long time. There are twenty or thirty people gathered in the lobby of the police station, seven of them are criminal suspects, and the other twenty or so are family members.

"What's going on with you? Why are you arresting me?" a family member yelled loudly.

"That's right, don't look at how old the old man is." Another family member yelled.

Those old men and women were sitting on the chairs leisurely, not worried about them at all, because sometimes they would be criticized by the police, and they would basically be given a education and then let go.

Xu Taiping followed the police chief and walked downstairs.

"Why are there so many people here?" the director asked in surprise.

"They are all relatives of these old men and women!" said a policeman.

"What are you people doing here? This is a police station, not a vegetable market!" the director said angrily.

"You policemen arrested our parents for no apparent reason. Can't we come and take a look?" a family member said angrily.

"Isn't it just blocking the road to ask for some red envelopes? What more?!" asked another family member.

"Why are they blocking the road to ask for red envelopes? Their behavior is extortion!" the director said loudly.

Blackmail?

When the family members heard this, they were all dumbfounded. The practice of blocking roads and asking for red envelopes has existed in Linshui County for many years. How come it was not extortion before, but now it has become extortion?

All the family members immediately started making noise.

"Quiet, everyone!" the director said loudly.

Everyone was dissatisfied with the director and continued to make loud noises.

"Do you still want to deal with this matter properly?" The director slammed the table and asked sternly.

This time, everyone was calmed down.

"Blocking the road to ask for red envelopes is basically extortion. It's just a matter of the amount. I didn't care about you before. Firstly, it was because no one called the police, and secondly, because the amount was too small to be considered a crime. But this time, you decide how much money you took from me?" the director asked.

When the director asked, many people shut up. These family members all knew that their parents took back ten or twenty thousand yuan when they went out this time. At first, they were very happy, but now it seems that this money , I took too much!

"We have obtained surveillance from the scene. From the surveillance, we can clearly see that someone was suspected of touching porcelain and then threatened to extort our victims. Now the total amount of money is up to 100,000, which has constituted a criminal offense. You If you don’t want to go to jail, just give me the money back and then sincerely apologize to Mr. Xu!” the director shouted.

"Why should I refund the money? Why should I apologize? He threw the money out himself and we just picked it up!" An old man shouted excitedly. He had never received so much money since he blocked the road to ask for red envelopes. Let him To withdraw would be to kill him.

"We, the police, have all watched the surveillance. You are just stopping people from extorting money. This matter is ironclad. Now return the money to me quickly, otherwise all of you will go to jail. For 10,000 yuan, at least three years from now, I Tell you!" the director scolded.

When the director said this, these old men and women were dumbfounded. They had no idea that the money they got this time was enough to put them in jail for such a long time.

When the relatives of the old man and old woman heard this, they all panicked. On weekdays, their old man went to ask for red envelopes, and someone called the police. At most, they just criticized and educated them. How come they are going to jail now?

"We want our money back, we want our money back!" an old man shouted.

"I want my money back too!" an old lady shouted.

"Mr. Xu, you see, everyone is willing to refund the money. I see, you take the money back, and then as for these old people, it is enough to criticize and educate them, otherwise they are so old, people in their 60s and 70s , it would be troublesome to catch them in," the director said.

"Is it possible that in current extortion cases, as long as the suspects get a refund, they don't need to be held legally responsible?" Xu Taiping asked coldly.

Xu Taiping's words made the director a little embarrassed. He said, "Mr. Xu, it also depends on the identity of the suspect. These are all old people."

"What happened to the old man? Should he not be punished for committing a crime? I was blackmailed out of 100,000 yuan. Can I just pay it back? This is not possible. What they made me suffer was mental harm. You have to know that mental The damage cannot be compensated by a little money," Xu Taiping said.

"Then what are you going to do? Do you want us to die here in front of you?!" an old man asked angrily.

"That's right, do you still have the spirit of respecting the old and loving the young? We are all old people!" An old lady also said.

"Respect the old and love the young? I respect any old person who deserves my respect, but just because you are old, it doesn't mean I have to respect you. Even if a scumbag lives for many years, he is still a scumbag. All of you are going to go to jail." , if the Linshui County Police Department does not file a case, then I will file a criminal private prosecution and whatever the sentence is," Xu Taiping said with a sneer.

"How could you do this? How can you, a young man, be so talented at such a young age?" A family member excitedly rushed to Xu Taiping and asked.

"Yes, how old are they? Do they really want to go to jail and spend a few years?" Another family member also shouted excitedly.

"Shut up, everyone." Xu Taiping scolded.

His scolding was full of coercion, and everyone present immediately shut up.

"These old people in your family, I don't believe you don't know that they go to the streets to ask for red envelopes and hold weddings. They are supposed to be happy things, but what they do is make everyone feel troubled. Why should they get married? I have to give you people red envelopes? You stop on the road and ask people for money. How is this different from bandits and road bullies? I like to be more serious. I thought, giving you a little money is not enough to commit a crime. , it doesn’t mean anything. Since you want it, I’ll give it to you all at once. If you don’t take the money, then of course nothing will happen. However, you yourselves know that you all took the money, So, prepare to go to jail." Xu Taiping said, walking quietly outside the police station.

Everyone was stunned by Xu Taiping's words. Many people felt a little ashamed. In fact, they all knew what the old people at home did. However, these old people could take home 1,800 yuan every month, so these Family members just turn a blind eye. Some family members even encourage their elderly people to go to the streets to ask for red envelopes. This can be regarded as bringing extra income to the family. This kind of thing has been going on for many years. Unexpectedly, this time, they met a more serious person.

Not only was this man serious, but he also had money. He randomly took a hundred thousand yuan and threw it away, and then everyone got it. Because of the large amount of money involved, no one would be able to escape punishment.

"Mr. Xu, calm down!" The director followed Xu Taiping and walked out. He really didn't want to let all these old men and women in, because this would require a very long process. At the same time, this would be a big deal to the local police and the prison. It's all a lot of pressure. If these old men and women do anything wrong during this period, it may even have a negative impact on the police. Therefore, the director feels that if he can persuade Xu Taiping, he must do so.

"Is there anything else? Director?" Xu Taiping asked looking at the director blocking his way.

"Isn't it too outrageous of you to do this? They are all old people. It's enough to scare them. At worst, you could detain them for a while and put them in jail. Isn't it too much?" asked the director.

"Passed? Not at all. You don't know how many years these people have been blocking cars. How much money have they taken from newcomers? That is definitely a huge number. Why can they take the money? This time I just want them to understand that my money is not so easy to get," Xu Taiping said.

"Is there really no room left?" the director asked.

"There is no room for it. I will find a specialized lawyer to follow up on this matter. Let's go now!" After Xu Taiping finished speaking, he walked out of the police station.
