Chapter 084 Who Ran Into the Gun Barrel
Hearing Su Rui’s words, Qin Ranlong’s expression froze.
He turned his face and saw several police officers nearby.
After he flipped the table, a police car had already arrived. It seemed that some police officers working late into the night wanted to grab a late-night snack.
This was truly a case of the mantis hunting the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
“What’s going on here?”
A police officer walked over, saw several unconscious people lying on the ground with pools of blood, and his expression immediately changed!
“Violent fight, take everyone in for questioning! Send the injured to the hospital immediately!”
Qin Ranlong’s eyebrows furrowed: “I was being a good Samaritan. You’re the police, you can’t just act without distinguishing right from wrong!”
“Even if you were being a good Samaritan, you’ve caused serious injuries!” the police officer said with a frown. “Besides, we haven’t even investigated the truth yet! Stop arguing, you’re coming with us!”
In fact, according to Chinese law, just based on the extent of injuries these male students suffered, it would be enough to sentence Su Rui and Qin Ranlong!
But after roaming around for so many years, did these two fearless guys really care about being sentenced?
“Alright, let’s go to the police station and clear things up.” Su Rui didn’t want to conflict with these police officers. Although he wasn’t afraid of trouble, it was always best to avoid it when possible.
Moreover, with Qin Ranlong’s identity, one phone call from his family would resolve this matter.
Young Master Qin had the same thought as Su Rui. Looking at the aggressive police officers, he very calmly took out his phone and said arrogantly with alcohol on his breath: “Wait, before you arrest me, let me make a phone call.”
“What phone call!”
The police officers hadn’t expected this guy to be so entitled, actually trying to negotiate with them!
Four students were injured so severely they were almost unconscious. If they weren’t sent to the hospital soon, there could be serious consequences! And this arrogant guy still wanted to make a phone call for help! Wasn’t this clearly disrespecting police authority?
Several officers rushed forward, snatched the phone from Qin Ranlong’s hand, and pushed him into the police car!
Su Rui was cooperative, but he didn’t fare much better. The police officers vented their anger at Qin Ranlong on him too, pushing him quite roughly.
Su Rui had no complaints about this. After all, who told him to get into a fight right in front of the police?
The police officers were just trying to relax with a late-night snack, and his actions forced them to work overtime without extra pay. Su Rui could understand why the officers were angry.
“Comrade, please wait a moment!”
Just as the police car was about to drive off, the young owner of the barbecue stall ran over, stuck his head through the car window, and with a bright smile said to Qin Ranlong: “Comrade, you broke one of my tables and three stools, plus the unpaid food bill, totaling 750 yuan. Why don’t you settle the bill now?”
“Get lost! Someone will come pay you later!” Encountering such an owner, Qin Ranlong nearly collapsed!
“Bastards, do you know who I am? How dare you treat me like this! Have you thought about the consequences?” Qin Ranlong shouted angrily from inside the police car.
“We’ve only thought about your consequences, which is prison.” A police officer wiped the spit from his face and said mockingly.
“Qin Ranlong, if you don’t want any special treatment at the police station later, then shut your mouth.” Su Rui glared at him.
“Yes, Company Commander.” Hearing this, Qin Ranlong immediately closed his mouth.
But for some reason, he had changed his form of address again, from “Big Brother” to “Company Commander.”
After saying this, he winked at Su Rui.
Su Rui curled his lip in disdain at Qin Ranlong’s little trick.
“Company Commander?” A police officer seemed surprised: “You’re so young, yet you were a company commander?”
Su Rui glared at Qin Ranlong again, thinking this guy was causing too much trouble, then said: “I was.”
“When was that? Now?” That police officer seemed to be a former military man himself.
“Many years ago,” Su Rui said.
“Many years ago? You look like you’re only in your twenties now. How old were you many years ago? Twelve? Fifteen? A commander of a children’s company?” The mockery in the police officer’s tone grew stronger.
Su Rui remained silent. He couldn’t answer such questions, not because his words lacked truth, but because the truth sounded too unbelievable.
Whenever I joke, you think I’m telling the truth; whenever I tell the truth, you think I’m joking.
At the police station, Su Rui and Qin Ranlong were questioned separately. Several female students who were present were called in to testify, confirming that Su Rui and Qin Ranlong were indeed acting as good Samaritans. But even so, there was no way around it – those students all had broken tendons and bones, lying in the hospital unable to care for themselves, bedridden for two to three months.
Looking at it this way, the situation was quite serious for the two of them. Even if their actions were morally understandable, the law would definitely not support them. Qin Ranlong’s actions were even enough to warrant a prison sentence.
Once enraged, he had gone way too far!
At this moment, a graceful figure appeared at the interrogation room door.
Ye Binglan had been taking a short rest in the duty room. There had been too many cases recently, and the entire criminal investigation team was working overtime. As the deputy team leader, she had to lead by example.
“What’s going on here?”
Holding a coffee cup, Ye Binglan was puzzled by the light in the interrogation room. Weren’t they supposed to continue meeting tonight to find a breakthrough in the case? Why was there another task?
“Captain Ye, we went out for an overtime meal and encountered a fight. These two men were too violent and beat four students so badly they were hospitalized,” a police officer reported.
“Hospitalized?” Ye Binglan frowned slightly. “How serious are the injuries?”
“Very serious. They’ll probably be bedridden for three months. But these male students brought it upon themselves by harassing female classmates. These two brothers were being good Samaritans.” The male officer seemed to have a sense of justice: “They just went too far. Even when doing good deeds, you can’t act like that. If the students’ parents pursue this seriously, it could definitely constitute intentional injury.”
“Do we have results yet?”
“The course of events is very simple, the whole story is clear, there are many witnesses, and the testimonies of the two men completely match up.”
The male officer weighed the transcript in his hand and said: “They are two veterans who hadn’t seen each other for many years. They had a few beers, saw girls being bullied, and lost their temper. But they were too violent – in just a few seconds, they took down all four men. We didn’t even have time to intervene.”
Ye Binglan sighed softly: “Understandable, but the law shows no mercy.”
The police had seen too many such cases, and each time they couldn’t help but sigh. The law is not morality; sometimes things that can be measured by emotion make no sense in law. Like Su Rui and Qin Ranlong – they were clearly being good Samaritans, but they still had to be severely punished.
Especially the police, who had a natural affinity for veterans.
“Captain, do you want to go in and take a look?” The officer stepped aside.
“Alright.”
Ye Binglan pushed open the door and was immediately shocked!
“How is it you!”
“It’s me, the good youth who helps those in need.” Seeing Ye Binglan, Su Rui’s mood immediately improved. He grinned, showing his white teeth.
The police officer who entered with Ye Binglan was also surprised: “Captain, you know each other?”
“I suppose so.” Ye Binglan shook her head: “Do you remember that online incident?”
“Online incident?” The officer frowned, thinking for a moment before realizing what Ye Binglan meant. “Oh! When Captain Ye caught a pickpocket and it went viral online! I remember now, he was the male lead!”
The male officer stared at Su Rui’s face and said with a smile: “I was wondering why you looked so familiar! So you’re ‘Yang Guo’ from the ‘Legend of the Condor Heroes’!”
“What nonsense are you talking about!”
Ye Binglan said irritably. The last time she and Su Rui had helped someone, bystanders had filmed it, and it went viral online. Many people called them the “Condor Heroes,” and some colleagues even teased her by calling her “Little Dragon Girl”!
Now, both the male and female leads were present – the Condor Heroes were reunited!
The male officer was quite perceptive: “Well, Captain Ye, why don’t I leave this ‘Yang Guo’ to you? My stomach hurts, I need to take care of it first.”
“Come back here. We’re investigating a case, what are you playing at?” Ye Binglan said irritably. “Sit down, you’re not going anywhere.”
The captain’s orders couldn’t be disobeyed, so the young officer sat down with a pout.
Su Rui had thought he might have some alone time with Ye Binglan, but he hadn’t expected this woman to be so unromantic. The young officer was being so considerate, but she insisted on keeping him there as a third wheel. What was that about?
Ye Binglan looked at Su Rui, the slight blush on her pretty face not yet faded. She tried to put on a serious expression and said: “Why did you fight?”
Su Rui replied with a righteous face: “I saw injustice and drew my sword to help. Binglan, you know, I’ve always been that kind of person.”
Ye Binglan looked shocked: “What did you call me?”
The young officer heard Su Rui’s words and saw Ye Binglan’s reaction, then curled his lip, thinking: “Captain Ye is really something, the two of them are clearly old acquaintances, yet she’s pretending they’re strangers? He’s already calling you ‘Binglan,’ and you still won’t admit it?”
“I called you Binglan.” Su Rui glanced at the young officer sitting beside him and slapped his forehead: “Alright, I forgot. In front of others, I should call you Captain Ye.”
Ye Binglan was about to lose it: “Su Rui, do you find this amusing?”
Su Rui nodded, his eyes lingering on Ye Binglan’s delicate face: “It’s not bad, feels pretty good.”
“Why did you use such excessive force?” Ye Binglan asked seriously.
Su Rui answered just as seriously.
“Because… justice.”
