Chapter 41 Ruffian (6) (1/2)
It was just a matter of a chicken. In the future, even if there was solid evidence, the person might be let off lightly because the price of a chicken was not high. But in this era where even stealing a needle would be subject to strict punishment, a chicken is enough to put a person in jail for several years.
When Mrs. Lin was confused, the three police officers frowned and said the false accusation directly.
"No! False accusation? Why haven't I heard of this before? Are you teaming up with this little bastard to fool me?"
"The false accusation was issued along with this anti-gang task. If you don't believe it, you can go back to the police station and confront us."
Upon hearing that she had to go back to the police station, Mrs. Lin took a big step back, her face full of panic, "I won't go!! I didn't make a false accusation! Lin Shiheng forced me to give those three chickens. He forced me to do it!!"
One of the police officers' forehead veins jumped, "With so many witnesses, the matter has been basically determined. If you admit it early, you may be given a lighter punishment because of your age. But if you insist on not admitting it, it will cause more damage to our police station. If you lose your property, you will be sentenced to a heavier sentence. "
Old Lady Lin was already panicking at this moment, "How can you do this? I didn't break the law, I didn't steal anything, Lin Shiheng is a gangster, everyone in the village knows, he also stole money, such a large sum of money, even if he didn't force me to give my chicken, he must not be a good person..."
As she spoke, her eyes suddenly turned to Widow Zhang on the side, "Didn't you say you saw it! ! !"
"Tell them! Tell them that Lin Shiheng stole money, didn't he say he had a lot of money? ! !"
Widow Zhang had already felt something was wrong when the villagers stood up to defend Lin Shiheng, and now she was thinking about how to get rid of the crime in her mind with a pale face.
When she heard what Old Lady Lin said, her eyes went dark, and she wanted to slap her in the face so that she would shut up forever.
She admitted it just after those people said a few words? ?
Old Lady Lin admitted that she didn't care about falsely accusing Widow Zhang, but she cared about how she could go to jail. She was at the age of enjoying life, how could she be sentenced like this?
Originally, as long as she proved that Lin Shiheng was a thief, she would not be considered a false accusation. Unexpectedly, Old Lady Lin was so disappointing. It was just a few words from others. She just refused to admit it, but she had to shift the topic to herself.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were on her for a while, Widow Zhang's face turned pale, hesitating for a few words, and couldn't speak for a long time.
Things turned out like this, and the three policemen were also very angry. Now that the country has launched an anti-gang and anti-gang operation, the police station is already short of manpower, but in order to ensure the safety of personnel, they still insist on going out in groups of three. However, in this way, they have very little time to rest. For example, today, if Widow Zhang hadn't implicated Old Lady Lin, they would even have to stay in this strange countryside for a night.
If it was really for some criminals, it would be fine, but they didn't commit any crime. It was just two people who made false reports for personal grudges.
They disliked a person so much that they wanted to kill him.
Just because of the vicious thoughts of these two people, the three of them traveled all the way and stayed in the village for such a long time.
The three police officers looked at each other and said, "Since this old lady has admitted that it was a false accusation, our colleagues will take her back to the police station first. The specific sentencing will have to wait for the above procedures."
"As for this lady, we will ask a colleague to go to the city to ask the cake shop owner Mr. Lin about the source of the money in his hands and whether it was a false accusation. Our colleagues will come back to explain it clearly tomorrow morning."
"Tonight, you two will rest under our supervision for the time being."
After saying this, they no longer looked at the incredulous old lady Lin and the pale widow Zhang, but discussed it and decided to let one person take the old lady Lin back to the county, and then go to the cake shop in the city to find out what was going on.
The three people finished their division of labor and soon separated.
Lin Shiheng followed a policeman very cooperatively. Before he left, he turned around and looked at Widow Zhang, who was pale and kept asking if she could not sue now.
She was shaking all the time, obviously scared.
"Wait a minute, comrade."
He smiled at the policeman, "Can I go and talk to her? I want to ask her why she hates me so much."
The policeman nodded in understanding. If he was falsely accused by his aunt's mother-in-law, he would also want to find out why.
They are so distant, is it that serious?
Lin Shiheng walked up to Widow Zhang very easily.
"I'm going to call you grandma too. Although our two families don't interact much, we don't have many quarrels. Do you hate me so much that you want to send me to prison? Although I haven't been to prison, I have heard about what it is like. You have to work every day, and your three meals a day are very light. You may also be bullied by those who have been to prison before you. I heard that the life there is worse than death..." His tone was very angry, as if he was questioning why Widow Zhang wanted to send him to such a place, but now the two were facing each other, and Widow Zhang could clearly see the gloating in Lin Shiheng's eyes.
He was not questioning her at all, but mocking her.
He mocked the widow Zhang who was about to go to such a place.
"But I'm sorry to disappoint you. I didn't do it, so of course I won't be arrested and put in jail. But you, I'm afraid you will be in jail for falsely accusing me. Actually, it's okay. Didn't the police comrade just say it? It starts at three years. Maybe you are lucky and you can get out after three years in prison. I just hope that you will not make such a mistake again next time after you get out."
At the end, Lin Shiheng's tone became cold. He turned back to the police officer who was in charge of guarding him, "Comrade, I'm fine. Let's go."
The police officer looked at this person who was maliciously reported by his relatives with some sympathy, and took him away.
Only the widow Zhang was left standing there blankly, her mind full of Lin Shiheng's words just now.
In such a hellish place, she actually had to stay in there for at least three years.
No, no way! !
Absolutely not! !
Widow Zhang was so flustered that she could hardly stand. Her only thought and hope was that Lin Shiheng's money came from a unclear source.
How could such a large sum of money, which she saw with her own eyes, be earned by Lin Shiheng himself?
Deep in her heart, she dared not think about what she should do if it was really earned by Lin Shiheng himself.
This night was destined to be a long one for the villagers.
Many of them tossed and turned, and could not sleep well. They could not help but think in their minds whether Lin Shiheng's money was earned by him.
For most people who changed their minds about Lin Shiheng, of course they hoped that he earned the money, but after hearing about the amount, they felt that such a large sum of money, if it was really earned by selling watermelon juice and cakes as Lin Shiheng said, it would be too exaggerated.
When Lin's mother came back and heard about this, her legs softened. Fortunately, she believed that her son would never do such a sneaky thing. She could only take care of the public security and her son carefully all night with a nervous and inexplicably confident heart.
Because she had a son who might not be sentenced, Lin's mother had no time to think about her mother-in-law being arrested. When the old Lin family came to the door, they simply closed the door and refused to see them.
This made the old Lin family, who had originally believed that Lin's mother was soft and would agree to help them as long as they begged and cried, hit a wall.
After shouting at the door for a while without getting a response, they could only shake their heads and sigh and go back with a sad face.
In fact, even those who came to beg for mercy couldn't understand how Old Lady Lin could do such a thing to slander her own grandson.
Before, when Old Lady Lin drove away Lin's mother and the young Lin Shiheng, they just chose to watch from the sidelines because it was indeed beneficial to the rest of them. But now that Old Lady Lin was arrested, it affected the reputation of the entire old Lin family.
Let alone other things, now that they walked out, the eyes of the whole village looking at them were not right.
Originally, they thought of coming to beg for mercy from the soft-tempered Lin mother, but they didn't expect that even she, who was always the easiest to talk to, changed her temper.
As they walked, they couldn't help but blame each other.
From why they scolded Lin Shiheng with old lady Lin when she felt sorry for the three chickens, and then traced back to why they didn't stop old lady Lin from driving away her daughter-in-law who had just lost her husband and Lin Shiheng who had lost his father. Now that it has become like this, how can they live in the future?
Ke Jialing came back just when it was getting dark. She originally thought that she could help her parents at the stall tomorrow and meet her lover by the way. Unexpectedly, she heard about this when she came back.
She was so panicked that her slender fingertips holding the schoolbag were white with force. Her face was slightly pale and her voice was trembling. "What's going on now? Has he been arrested?"
"Who?"
Ke's mother was wiping the table. When she heard this, she thought her daughter wanted to gossip. She buried her head and answered, "Lin Shiheng? He was not arrested. He is being watched by the police at home. When the police come back tomorrow after going to the city to investigate, if his money really comes from a legitimate source, he will definitely be released."
"And that widow Zhang Wife, if Lin Shiheng stole the money, she would definitely be let go, but if he didn't steal the money, he would probably be arrested and sent to prison. I heard that the minimum sentence is three years. You said she was fine, why did she report Lin Shiheng? We are from the same village. Even if she saw the money, she couldn't expect good things from him. She had to say that he stole it. Even if he really stole it..."
"He wouldn't steal money!"
Ke Jialing held the schoolbag tightly with her hands, and blurted out the words without thinking after hearing them.
As soon as she spoke, she found that her mother, who was originally wiping the table, looked up at her in surprise, and hurriedly explained hesitantly, "Isn't he a good person? Mom, you and Dad praised him, saying that he always came to our stall to buy fish for his mother to eat, and he was a filial son. Didn't you also say that every time he met you carrying a basin back to the village, he would help carry it all the way back?"
"That's right."
Mother Ke didn't think much about it. After listening to her daughter, she continued to wipe the table. "Didn't his mother also set up a stall? It's right next to our stall, selling books. There aren't many people reading books in our county, so it's not impossible to sell a book a day. When Lin Shiheng came, he wasn't in a hurry at all. He also said that slow work makes fine work. I chatted with his mother for a few words. He said that he planned to work hard in Shanghai. I persuaded his mother to rent out the family land to others to farm and collect rent, and then come to the county to set up a stall. His mother probably didn't find out that Lin Shiheng was afraid that she would be tired from farming when he was not at home, so he coaxed people to sell books in the city."
"Generally, filial children are not bad people. I guess he really didn't steal the money. If someone really lost so much money, they would have called the police long ago. How could they wait to be reported?"
Ke Jialing listened to her mother's high evaluation of her lover, and her heart was sweet and sour. Worry
"So is he at home now?"
"At home. I heard from your aunt next door that a policeman took his grandmother away. The two policemen went separately, one went to Lin Shiheng's house and the other went to Zhang widow's house. I guess they are waiting for the result at home now."
The pretty girl pursed her lips and unconsciously grasped the strap of her schoolbag. "Mom, I just remembered that I borrowed a book from Fangfang and didn't return it. I'll go and return the book to her first."
"Fangfang?"
Ke's mother asked casually, "Didn't she stop going to school after graduating from junior high school? Can she lend you a book?"
Ke Jialing has lied very few times since she was a child. Once she said that Her fair face flushed after she told a lie. She couldn't even speak after hearing her mother's question. She stammered for a long time before reluctantly responding, "I borrowed it before. I want to review the previous content."
"Okay, then you go. Come back early. It's even harder to walk on the road after dark. It rained a while ago and many people slipped."
"Oh, I see."
Ke Jialing could barely maintain a normal walking speed at home. As soon as she left the yard, she hurriedly ran towards the Lin family. I don't know if it was because of the fast exercise or because she lied to her mother, but her heart was beating violently while running.
She waited until she reached the door of Lin Shiheng's house. Her heart, which was already beating fast, was beating even faster as if it was about to jump out.
She tried to calm down, walked to the front door, and knocked on the door carefully.
There was no movement inside.
Maybe she didn't hear it.
Ke Jialing knocked on the door a little harder this time, knocking three times in a row, nervously holding her breath waiting for the door to open.
In the house, Lin Shiheng sat at the table and discussed with the police about the possible future development of the country and how dangerous the profession of police was. Seeing that the two were talking happily and the police did not treat their son as a criminal, Lin's mother was much more relaxed than before and sat aside and listened quietly.
The knocking noise outside was not loud, so she did not hear it. It was still Lin Shiheng who raised his head and asked his mother, "Is there anyone knocking on the door outside?"
Lin's mother listened carefully and found that there was indeed someone. She frowned slightly and said, "It may be someone from your grandmother's family. Don't worry about it."
She has a good temper and a soft personality, but even a clay person has a temper. Since she came back and heard someone familiar tell her what happened during the day, Lin's mother's chest has been filled with anger.
People have told her that the old lady Lin framed Shiheng and wanted her son to be shot!
That's a shooting!
Although she hated Old Lady Lin for taking advantage of her husband's death to drive her and her son out of the house and leaving them to fend for themselves, she always felt that it was because her mother-in-law looked down on her and that she had implicated her son. In addition, she remembered her husband's kindness in her heart, so it was even more difficult to face his mother.
But her step-by-step concessions were exchanged for her mother-in-law's desire to kill Shi Heng!
Mother Lin couldn't stand it anymore!
She was rarely tough, "Let them knock on the door, anyway, the sound is not loud, this time your grandmother went too far."
The public security officer who had been chatting with Lin Shi Heng and gradually felt that he was a very good and insightful person did not speak.
It is difficult for an honest official to judge family affairs, not to mention that he is not an official.
But in his heart, he also felt that Old Lady Lin, his own grandmother, had gone too far. When he chatted before, he also roughly understood how Lin Shi Heng was forced to separate from his mother when he was a child, which was equivalent to leaving the house with nothing, and how difficult his life has been over the years.
To be honest, if it were him, he would have never seen his relatives again, but he heard from the villagers that Lin Shiheng even shot a pheasant from the mountain to give to Old Lady Lin.
She was so cruel as to report such a good grandson.
Moreover, she reported him with fabricated words.
An idea came to his mind.
Could it be that Lin Shiheng's father was Old Lady Lin's biological son?
The widow Zhang was even more outrageous. From the handsome young man's helpless tone, she said, "I don't know where my grandmother saw the money in my hand before. She has never seen so much money in her life in the village. She was determined that I stole it and didn't get it through formal channels. She came to my house and asked me to split it equally. I earned it with my own hard work, of course I didn't want to. Maybe I annoyed her, so she came to report me."
"I guess she didn't know that framing someone was also a crime when she reported it, otherwise she would definitely not report it."
When looking at Lin Shiheng, who said helplessly that widow Zhang was lying at the door of his house that day and refused to leave, the police patted his shoulder sympathetically.
"Don't worry, if you really didn't do it, we will definitely be able to clear your name."
Although the evidence has not been produced yet, he actually believes in Lin Shiheng in his heart.
After all, after the conversation, the words and vision of Lin Shiheng did not look like those of an ordinary villager.
For such a person, making that money would not be a fantasy.
At this moment, Lin Shiheng put down the ceramic cup of water in front of him, turned his head and persuaded Lin's mother who frowned and refused to open the door, "Mom, you should take a look. Didn't their family come and leave before? It's unlikely that they will come a second time. Maybe it's someone's neighbor who came to see him for something."
Looking at the young man with a gentle tone persuading his mother softly, the public security officer silently added another advantage to Lin Shiheng.
Good temper.
He sighed with emotion.
Maybe it was because of his good temper that he was bullied by those two people.
If he met someone who arrested people without checking the evidence, he would have nowhere to redress his grievances.
Lin's mother didn't know what the public security officer was thinking in his heart. After all, she loved her son. After being persuaded by him, she stood up obediently and walked to the yard to open the door.
The anger on her face turned into surprise when she saw the beautiful girl standing outside the door.
"Jia Ling? Why are you here so late? Are you cold? Come on, come in quickly, kid, you're not afraid at night."
When Ke Jia Ling saw that she was pulled in enthusiastically before Lin's mother could even call for help, she blushed slightly and said "Hello, Auntie" embarrassedly.
"I, I heard about what happened during the day, and came to see if you need any help."
Need help? How can you say that?
Lin's mother was stunned at first, and then she suddenly understood when she saw Ke Jia Ling's face hanging down with embarrassment and her hands twisted together.
This is not to see if she needs help, but to see her family Shi Heng.
When she thought that the well-behaved and sensible child in front of her was her own Shi Heng's girlfriend, Lin's mother felt so happy that she even swept away her anger towards Old Lady Lin and Widow Zhang. With a big smile on her face, she enthusiastically welcomed the person into the house.
"Auntie, it's nothing. It's cold outside. Why don't you come in and sit for a while?"
It was so late, and it was not appropriate to go into the house. However, when Ke Jialing thought about what her mother had told her about what happened during the day, she couldn't wait to see her boyfriend who was safe and sound.
She blushed and whispered, "Thank you, Auntie."
"Hey! We are a family, why are you being polite!"
Mother Lin's smile was even more pleasant, and she pulled Ke Jialing, whose face turned red after hearing what she said, into the house.
She lifted the door curtain, and before anyone arrived, her voice with a strong smile came in first, "Shi Heng, look who is here to see you."
The two people in the room looked up, and the next second, Ke Jialing, with a red face on her fair face, walked in shyly.
Lin Shiheng's eyes showed surprise, and even his aura softened. "Jia Ling? Are you on holiday?"
"Yeah."
Ke Jia Ling carefully glanced at the unfamiliar face of the police in the room, and answered a little stiffly, "I'm on holiday this afternoon. My classmates and I took a bus back. We have to go to school the day after tomorrow."
"Why are you still carrying a schoolbag? You came to see me before you got home?"
Lin Shiheng stood up and helped Ke Jia Ling unload the heavy schoolbag with pain, and then touched her hand. "Your hand is so cold, you didn't take a bus to the county and then walked back?"
Ke Jia Ling was shy by nature. It was shy enough when they were alone, not to mention that she was in front of Lin's mother and strangers. When her lover held her hand, she hurriedly wanted to pull it back.
"Don't, Auntie and the others are here."
Her avoidance had little effect. The man who had always had a bit of ruffian between his eyebrows now had a tenderness in his eyes that seemed to melt people.
"Let me warm your hands. You see your hands are cold. You'll freeze them again."
"Cough cough cough..."
The young policeman looked at the two people who were holding hands intimately without any hesitation, and stood up awkwardly while coughing.
"Well, I'm going to the toilet. You guys chat first."
After the previous conversation, he had a very good impression of Lin Shiheng. In addition, this beautiful girl was obviously his girlfriend, so the policeman didn't mind making some time for the girl to comfort her boyfriend who was almost in jail.
Of course, as a young man who has not yet married, he feels embarrassed to sit here and do nothing while other couples are so sweet.
As soon as the police left, Lin's mother also looked at the two young people in front of her with a loving smile, "I'll go out to boil water too, you guys chat."
He has good looks, good character, and is a student with good grades who will go to college in the future.
When something happened to her family's Shi Heng, she could still rush over immediately regardless of the dark and no longer avoid suspicion.
When she thought that such a good child would most likely become her daughter-in-law in the future, Lin's mother couldn't stop smiling.
After both of them went out, only Lin Shi Heng and Ke Jialing were left in the room.
Without others watching, Ke Jialing stopped struggling, but her fair face was still red. Her voice was usually clear and pleasant, but now she spoke to her boyfriend in a sweeter tone, "Don't do this next time, or people will see and laugh at you."
"What's so funny about this? We are a serious couple. It's not a few years ago. What's there to be afraid of holding hands?"
Lin Shiheng smiled and pulled her to sit down, "Are your feet cold? Stamp your feet to keep warm."
"Not cold."
After being shy, Ke Jialing also remembered the purpose of her visit. The blush on her face faded a little, and she raised her beautiful eyes and looked at her boyfriend worriedly, "I heard that you were reported. Will you... Is there anything wrong? "
"Don't worry, my money comes from a legitimate source, the police will find out once they check, and everything will be fine tomorrow morning."
Lin Shiheng said it easily, but Ke Jialing still couldn't relax. She worried, "What if something goes wrong? I heard that now the order is directly issued by the top leader, and it's not as easy as before."
"How about this, if the source of your money is unclear, you can say that I gave it to you. I used to help junior high school students with tutoring..."
She was paying attention seriously, and the young and handsome man sitting opposite her had already smiled and stretched out his hand, and his slender fingertips fell on Ke Jialing's smooth cheek, gently and lovingly pinching it.
"Okay, I will take care of it, you just need to wait for me to succeed and come back to marry you."
Ke Jialing paused while talking, staring at the person in front of her, and the place touched by his fingertips was like being stained, and it turned red little by little.
The education she received and the environment she was in always made her shy and at a loss when she said some words to her lover.
"Why do you always say such things! You have no shame!"
"If I can't say such things to you, I don't know who I can say them to."
Lin Shiheng directly regarded her shameful words as flirting, raised his eyebrows at her, and grabbed the pair of white hands hanging by the girl's side. He ignored her frightened pull back and still held on to the gentle instructions.
"Be good, I'll warm your hands for you, and go home when your hands are warm. I'm sure I'll be fine tomorrow morning."
"After the police announce it tomorrow, I have to pack my luggage and go to the Magic City. I've been ready to leave for a long time, but I've been delayed by things. I will write to you when I leave. Remember to study hard and reply to my letters, understand?"
Ke Jialing, who was still trying to pull her hands back, was indeed attracted by his words and opened her eyes slightly, "Are you leaving so soon?"
Although she knew her boyfriend was going to the Magic City before, she realized how reluctant she was when he really had to leave.
"Not so fast. I have prepared a lot during this period. You are going to take the college entrance examination soon, so you must go to college. Of course, I have to work harder to become a big boss to be worthy of you."
Ke Jialing pursed her lips and whispered something.
Lin Shiheng leaned over and said, "What?"
"Even if you are not a big boss, I will follow you."
This time, her voice was louder.
Speaking these "indecent" words in person obviously had a great impact on the girl. After saying it, she hung her head tightly and refused to raise her head no matter how her lover coaxed her.
"But I want to be as good as you."
Seeing that she refused to raise her head, Lin Shiheng reached out and touched her head, "It's impossible that we will rely on you to support the family alone after we get married and have children."
The young policeman heard this sentence as soon as he walked in, and couldn't help coughing again.
Ke Jialing, who was originally obediently being touched on the head, stood up suddenly as if she was scalded when she heard the second person's voice, blushing and walking out in panic.
"I'll go first, I'll go back first. My mother will be worried if it's too late."
Mother Lin was burning a fire outside. Seeing her future daughter-in-law walking out in a hurry, she hurriedly shouted, "Jia Ling, it's dark outside. Can I take you away?"
"No, Auntie, I can do it myself. You don't have to take me away."
Ke Jia Ling quickly refused and ran out of the door for a while. She didn't slow down until she ran far away, calming her heart that was beating wildly with shyness and excitement.
Shi Heng, did he actually think about something so long ago?
Marriage, children...
She first imagined what their child would look like. When she realized that she was actually thinking about her future child, she immediately covered her face with shame.
It's better to go home quickly and recite the books, so that you won't think about these things anymore.
Unlike Ke Jialing who recited until she fell asleep, Lin Shiheng and the young policeman chatted all night, getting more and more excited, until they finished breakfast and the policeman who went to the city to investigate came back.
"I asked the cake shop owner, he did hire Lin Shiheng to help him sell cakes, with a commission of 1%. At that time, Lin Shiheng also sold his own watermelon juice, and he agreed to this."
"The cake shop owner took out the account book, which can prove that the amount is exactly the same as that of the money, and he also expressed his willingness to be a witness."
When he heard the result, Lin Shiheng looked indifferent, obviously he had expected it, but Widow Zhang was pale and collapsed to the ground.
If she didn't know what prison was like, maybe she would only be afraid and angry, but after Lin Shiheng "kindly" described prison life yesterday, her mind was full of those unacceptable pictures. Even when she went to bed last night, she dreamed of being beaten in prison.
Although the police kindly told her after she woke up that even if she was arrested and sent to prison, there would be prison guards to supervise her and no one would dare to beat her, Widow Zhang was still extremely scared.
And now, the thing she was most worried about happened.
Lin Shiheng's money was really earned, not stolen.
As a whistleblower who falsely accused someone, she was going to jail.
"Shi Heng!! Shi Heng, please, please talk to them and ask them to let me go, okay? I won't dare to do it next time, I really won't dare to do it again, please let me go, I will be good to your aunt, and I will never hit her again!"
The police officer who had been arguing with Widow Zhang since she woke up from a nightmare asked seriously with two big dark circles under his eyes, "Do you have a criminal record of beating people?"
"No, no, no!! That's my daughter-in-law, not someone else!"
"My daughter-in-law is also a citizen, it's wrong for you to beat her, if your daughter-in-law calls the police, you can deal with it as a crime of intentional injury, and the sentence will be..."
Widow Zhang, who was trying to defend herself, was stunned. She wanted to get herself off the hook, but how could she add a crime while talking.
She wanted to ask Lin Shi Heng again, but she saw the sight of him looking over from his slightly drooping eyes.
Indifferent, but with a hint of pity.
What did he pity?
Widow Zhang's brain was filled with fear and terror, and Lin Shiheng's words about prison that he had said yesterday came to mind.
She couldn't go to prison!!
No way!!
Widow Zhang was shaking, her face was ashen, as if she had given up struggling, she slowly climbed up from the dusty ground, and asked hoarsely, "Before you take me away, can you let me go to the house and talk to my granddaughter?"
"She is still so young, I want to see her for the last time before I leave."
The police didn't think much about it, "Okay, you go in."
Anyway, they were guarding the door, and this person couldn't run away.
Widow Zhang went in, but didn't come out for a long time.
The three police officers realized something was wrong, and rushed in, only to find that there was indeed a sleeping girl on the bed, but the window above the rice jar was open, and there was a shoe on the ground.
Obviously, Widow Zhang had just stepped on the rice jar to climb up the window and escape.
"Hurry up and chase her!! She must be nearby now!"
Lin Shiheng stood at the door, watching the three police officers frowning and chasing the fleeing widow Zhang. He lowered his head, looked at the shoe that fell on the ground, and raised his eyebrows slightly.
For the police station, it is difficult to find a fugitive in the current information underdeveloped era, but for Lin Shiheng, the whereabouts of widow Zhang are easy to find.
Just contact the brothers in the city and ask if there are any strangers nearby and if there is an extra beggar among the beggars.
He quickly found widow Zhang, who was wearing tattered clothes and wearing shoes that were obviously one size larger.
After seeing Lin Shiheng's face clearly, she widened her eyes nervously and jumped up suddenly as if she was going to run away.
"Don't be nervous, I'm not here to arrest you."
The young man smiled at her and said, "I just came to tell you that you have successfully turned yourself into a fugitive."
"If you hadn't escaped, you would have been sentenced to three years. After three years, you could still come out and continue your life, but you escaped."
"Now the country is vigorously cracking down on crime, and fugitives are hit harder. In your case, ten years? Twenty years? Or execution?"
Hearing the execution, Widow Zhang's body shook violently.
Execution...?
She just didn't want to go to jail, how did it become execution?
"I want to go back! I want to go back!!"
"It's too late to go back now. Your information has been corrected to a fugitive, and your name is also on the wanted list. If you are caught, you will die."
Widow Zhang collapsed to the ground, raised her head blankly, and looked at Lin Shiheng in front of her.
He was also looking at her, but there was only indifference in his eyes. "You can only run away for the rest of your life, you can't tell anyone your name, and you can never go back to the village to see your son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter."
"Or, I call the police now, you go back to the police station, maybe you can get leniency..."
