Chapter 121 The Harassment Facts Are Established
Xiangyang Road Branch.
Around 11:30, each of them finished giving a statement.
Because there is surveillance video and the store owner's testimony, the facts of the matter are relatively clear, and the other party's denial is useless.
However, it is also true that the other party was seriously injured. The bald man's forehead was bleeding profusely, and he was immediately taken to the emergency room for stitches and examination by the on-duty police officer. The other two also had obvious bruises and injuries. If the other party insists on sticking to this point, this matter cannot be simply classified as harassment.
The police officers on night duty were all newcomers lacking experience in handling cases. They exchanged ideas back and forth but couldn't come to a conclusion. As it was getting close to midnight, Gu Lianxing was almost asleep leaning on Shen Ci's shoulder.
"Officers, have you decided what to do? How will you punish them? We brothers are all badly injured, you must punish us severely!"
As the wait grew longer, one of the men became impatient and started shouting.
The dark-skinned, thin police officer's expression hardened upon seeing this, and he sternly ordered, "Shut your mouth and wait patiently!"
"We've been waiting for almost two hours. We're in a hurry to get home. Our wives and kids are waiting for us."
"You still know you have a wife and children? You have a wife and children, and you harass young girls in the street? Have you no shame?"
"What kind of harassment was that? I only said two words, and I was beaten up like this without even touching anyone. You can't deliberately favor them just because they're pretty!"
Just then, someone strode into the police station from the outside. The person was about 1.8 meters tall and was wearing black casual pants and a white short-sleeved shirt without any patterns.
His calm and sharp gaze swept over the two groups of people sitting in the waiting room, and he said in a low voice, "It's quite lively."
Everyone subconsciously looked up. The man was handsome and upright. Just a few steps from outside the door, he could not hide his innate aura of righteousness. His eyes were as deep as an eagle's. Just a casual glance from him made the man who was chattering just a second ago instinctively fall silent.
"Team Leader Tang!"
The dark-skinned, thin police officer rushed to greet the man, saying apologetically, "I'm sorry to bother you so late."
Tang Song had already seen the situation with a casual glance, but to be honest, he couldn't figure out the cause and effect of the incident between the three unharmed girls and the two injured men.
"What happened?" Tang Song asked.
"Three men harassed three girls at a barbecue restaurant but failed. One of the girls beat them up. One of the men, who was bald, was seriously injured. Xiao Liu accompanied him to the emergency room of the Second Hospital next door for stitches."
Upon hearing this, the man who had just spoken couldn't help but emphasize again: "I said what I did wasn't harassment, it was at most hitting on someone. I didn't even touch anyone and I was beaten up like this."
Tang Song turned to look at him, and the man immediately shut his mouth in fright. Tang Song said in a soft but authoritative tone, "As long as a girl feels harassed, the act of harassment is considered established. Who told you that it doesn't count as harassment if there's no physical contact? Verbal harassment is harassment too!"
Upon hearing this, the man shrank back, not daring to utter a single word in rebuttal.
Shen Ci and the others remained silent as they looked at the police captain who had suddenly appeared before them, but each of them had their own thoughts.
Gu Lianxing was so sleepy that her eyelids were drooping. She just wanted to resolve this matter as soon as possible and leave. She didn't care about losing some money.
Pili leaned back in her chair with her arms crossed, looking completely calm. Anyway, Shen Ci had said that as long as she didn't kill him, it was fine. Besides, she always knew how to control her strength. Apart from the blow to the bald man's head that was a bit too heavy, there weren't any major problems. At most, the injury would be classified as minor, which wouldn't qualify as a minor injury and would exempt her from criminal punishment. Pili was well aware of this.
Only Shen Ci was lost in thought, seemingly forgetting that she was still at the police station, and was just staring at Tang Song's face.
This man cannot be described as "handsome" but rather as "handsome-looking".
In a sense, "handsome" is not just used to describe appearance, but more of a quality or charisma.
"You mean there's a bald guy too?"
Tang Song gleaned crucial information from the junior police officer's account and asked, "His name is Chen Liye?"
The young police officer was startled: "Captain Tang, how did you know?"
Tang Song sneered: "This man has been to the palace three times. He has a criminal record for harassing women. This time, he will be punished more severely. Tell Xiao Li to treat his wounds and bring him back to me!"
"Okay. Then what about them..."
Tang Song looked through the transcript and the shop owner's testimony, and after a while said, "The fact that the man harassed the woman is established. According to the Public Security Administration Punishment Law, each person will be fined two mao and detained for fifteen days. Chen Liye's punishment will be more severe. After detention, he will be transferred to the procuratorate to pursue further responsibilities."
After saying that, he closed the statement and tossed it to the junior officer: "From now on, if you don't know how to determine the nature of such cases, just use the cause-and-effect relationship. The party who triggers the incident bears the main consequences as the instigator. The 'cause' of harassment incidents is always the man."
The young police officer blinked, then hesitated before speaking, "But they were beaten like this..."
Looking at the two men's bruised faces, Tang Song showed no sympathy whatsoever: "Given the natural difference in strength between men and women, if women do not fight back and defend themselves with all their might when threatened, they will most likely suffer a loss."
"When one is doing everything in their power to protect themselves and their companions from harm, and there is no time or ability to define the scope and extent of excessive self-defense, the point of demarcation is minor injury. Any situation that does not reach the level of minor injury is considered legitimate self-defense!"
Pili heard every word Tang Song said, and she subtly raised the corners of her mouth.
The young police officer understood and nodded repeatedly: "Understood, Captain Tang."
Soon, the on-duty police officers came and escorted the two men away. The two men were naturally dissatisfied, shouting that they were innocent and saying that they would go to court to sue Shen Ci and the others for intentional injury.
However, Shen Ci and the others remained calm, showing no signs of the nervousness one would expect from a female college student visiting the police station.
Tang Song walked up to the group and fixed his gaze on Shen Ci's face. Due to the nature of his profession, he had an innate keen sense of observation. He had noticed that the girl had been staring at him ever since he came in.
"Which school?" Tang Song asked.
Shen Ci said softly, "Longcheng University of Science and Technology."
Tang Song nodded: "Since you're a college student, you're an adult and have the ability to take social and legal responsibility. We won't notify your school. Next time you encounter something like this, remember to call the police first. Don't act impulsively just because you know a little bit of martial arts. What if the other party has a weapon?"
"Wait a moment, each of you will pay a five-cent fine, sign the document, and then you can leave."
Upon hearing this, Shen Ci instinctively asked, "Didn't they say we were acting in self-defense? Why are we being fined?"
Tang Song chuckled and said, "You really think you can get away with beating someone up like that? If you don't pay the fine, they'll keep pressing you, and you'll be in big trouble later!"
"Is everything alright once I pay?"
Tang Song looked at Shen Ci for a moment, then nodded slightly: "Hand it over, I'll handle the rest!"
