Section 44 The old grudges of the neighbors

"I bought a special batch of eggs at the vegetable market yesterday. I just thought I would boil eggs to take away today. But I searched around the kitchen and couldn't find them, so I became anxious. My wife was still asleep at the time, so I thought

She kept the eggs somewhere, so I asked her, but she said she hadn’t touched them at all.”

Hearing this, Chen Xinhong raised his head and asked curiously: "Have you found those eggs now?"

"Found it." The resident on the seventh floor replied sheepishly: "Later I found it in my son's toy box. He took advantage of me to sleep yesterday to unpack the egg holder, thinking that the egg was a toy I bought for him.

, so I put it in a box with a dozen ping pong balls. I turned around and couldn’t find it. I was thinking about rushing to the airport and was busy making food, so the movement became too big and affected the downstairs.

…”

Chen Xinhong shook his head: "The flight is after eight o'clock, and you get up at three o'clock in the middle of the night to mess around..."

The resident on the sixth floor standing opposite was still angry. He shouted loudly: "Now you are good at talking! That's not what you said when I went upstairs and knocked on the door. You opened your mouth and told me to get out, saying

You usually make such a big noise when you walk, so if I can, I will buy another house and find a clean place to live."

He immediately turned around to face Chen Xinhong and said angrily: "Comrade police, are you commenting on this? Are these human words?"

Chen Xinhong frowned slightly and asked the resident on the seventh floor: "Is this true?"

Cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the resident on the seventh floor: "... Well, I couldn't find the eggs at the time, and I was so anxious that I didn't even pay attention when I spoke on the fire... I... I was wrong, isn't it okay?"

"No!" The resident on the sixth floor refused without thinking. He glared with red eyes and said angrily: "If you don't let me sleep, I won't make it easy for you. I'll put it here: Even if the police come,

Don't even think about going out today. I just want to prevent you from catching the plane. You just stay at home and you are not allowed to go anywhere."

When Hu Pingtao took a look, it was obvious that he was indifferent and determined to confront the residents on the seventh floor.

Chen Xinhong turned around and stared at the angry-faced resident on the sixth floor: "He already knows that he was wrong and has apologized to you. Please be merciful!"

"He is not sincerely apologizing at all." The resident on the sixth floor pointed to the opposite side and said angrily: "You don't know, when I went upstairs and knocked on his door, his face was extremely ugly. What happened to me living downstairs?

Do you deserve to be trampled on and abused by you?"

"Is it okay that I was wrong?" This is what the residents on the seventh floor repeated over and over again.

"You know you were wrong now? Why did you go there so early?" The resident on the sixth floor didn't take this at all: "Why didn't you call the police earlier? I didn't use my mobile phone to record your face before. You are admitting your mistake.

Attitude? You are being forced to do nothing, and you are duplicitous."

Seeing this, Chen Xinhong felt a little troubled.

This dispute is very simple, the key is the attitude of the parties involved.

After thinking for a while, he turned to the anxious but silent resident on the seventh floor: "Did you hear what they said? Your attitude is not correct. Is this an admission of mistake? This is perfunctory."

The resident on the seventh floor was angry and anxious: "You are the police, you can't let him block the road! He... what he did is illegal."

"Making noise is also illegal." Hu Pingtao said from the side: "While blaming others, you should also think about whether what you did is right. There is a cause and a result. Even if he is forced to let you out now, he can do it later.

What? You have to think about yourself and your family."

The resident on the seventh floor took a deep breath, his face turned pale, and he seemed to have made some kind of important decision: "Okay, okay, I was wrong, and I will formally apologize to you now. It was my fault, and I shouldn't have made such a big noise.

.Now I ask you to understand, please forgive me, and please let me live. Is this attitude sincere enough?"

This sounds disturbing.

To say he was not sincere, he said it in such a way that it was impeccable.

But the problem is that everyone present, including Hu Pingtao, felt very uncomfortable.

Chen Xinhong stood up to smooth things over. He comforted the residents on the sixth floor: "Since he has said so, you should be more generous and let him go this time. In fact, he didn't do this on purpose. Look, it's past five o'clock now.

If we don’t leave, we really won’t be able to catch the plane.”

The matter was settled hastily, and both parties signed the case record book.

After walking out of the residential building and sitting on the electric car, Chen Xinhong wiped his face hard several times, but he could not hide the heavy tiredness between his brows.

Hu Pingtao asked: "Instructor, is this matter settled?"

Chen Xinhong nodded and yawned: "What else do you want? You can't just look at the appearance of everything. If it's just an ordinary noise that disturbs the people, as long as we go to the scene and give you a few words of persuasion, the matter will be settled. But today's matter is different, this

The two families have obviously had conflicts for a long time. Think about it, after three o'clock it is a good time to sleep. Even if there is some noise upstairs, just lie in bed and endure it. How could you end up carrying a kitchen knife upstairs?

To the point of knocking on the door?”

"Also, don't look at the man on the seventh floor who keeps admitting his mistakes. In fact, he is just pretending. He got up at 3 o'clock in the middle of the night to prepare things for a flight after eight o'clock. This is a lie. About the eggs.

I won’t comment because there is no evidence and I don’t know if it’s true or not. But the way he acted, it was obvious that he deliberately wanted to mess with the residents downstairs at that time and make them sleepless, but he didn’t expect to make them angry.

He was scared when he saw the kitchen knife, but he refused to admit defeat. Seeing that it was almost eight o'clock, the resident downstairs was determined to fight him to the end. There was no other way, so he called the police."

Hu Pingtao was very surprised: "Instructor, have you dealt with disputes between their two families before?"

Chen Xinhong shook his head: "No. But I have handled many similar cases. With more experience, I will know what is going on at a glance."

Hu Pingtao nodded clearly and asked, "Then they will continue to argue in the future?"

"Absolutely." Chen Xinhong said: "Don't worry about this matter. When you go back, hand it over to the community. This kind of neighborhood disputes are all handled by them. It's much better now than before. Similar cases are reported to the 110 command center first, and then

It will be classified by the police station in the jurisdiction. If it is a case that requires long-term mediation, the sub-district office and the community will be responsible."

"This is good. It reduces our workload and the problem can be solved. If you think about it, community workers coming to the door will definitely have a much better effect than our police coming to the door. After all, they are familiar with the situation."

Hu Pingtao nodded repeatedly, which was regarded as a lesson learned.

He turned the key and started the engine.

Chen Xinhong was sitting in the passenger seat, looking at the orange light in the distance that was blocked by high-rise buildings, and asked with a chuckle: "Xiaohu, how are you reviewing for the civil service exam? Are you sure?"

Hu Pingtao looked straight ahead and answered in an unusually positive tone: "Yes."

"That's good!" Chen Xinhong patted him on the shoulder: "Both the Anti-Narcotics Team and the Criminal Police Team want to get you there. Liao Suo made several calls to the Xiong Bureau and said that after you finish the exam and training, you should come back.

Stay at the institute for a year, and then arrange a new position after the internship period is over."

Hu Pingtao smiled and nodded. He knew Liao Qiu had good intentions.

"There is one more thing." Chen Xinhong continued: "Do you have any grudge against Dou Zhiwei? During this time, he has been speaking ill of you outside. Wang Gui and Zhang Chunliang have mentioned it to me several times. Dou Zhiwei said that your family

It’s okay to be poor and have no money. He still pretended to show off his style and refused the 100,000 yuan bonus for the last wanted case in Beiqing Province. This sounded ridiculous to me, and I wanted to call Dou Zhiwei over and have a good talk with him.

, but I’ve been too busy recently and haven’t had time.”

Hu Pingtao shrugged his shoulders: "I had never seen him before coming to the police station."

This is the best explanation.

"It seems it's because of what happened in the cafeteria last time." Chen Xinhong's eyes narrowed slightly: "Dou Zhiwei is petty, but he can't just throw dirty water on you casually. I'll tell Liao later that this matter must be serious.

Deal with it, otherwise it will affect unity."

With that said, he changed the topic: "Xiaohu, is your family's financial situation not very good?"

Hu Pingtao was holding the steering wheel and almost hit the brakes when he heard this: "Instructor, why do you suddenly ask about this?"

"Dou Zhiwei said that you always buy clothes at roadside stalls, and you only buy clothes that cost 20 yuan a piece. Wang Gui and he saw this with their own eyes." Chen Xinhong said: "I'm not saying that cheap clothes can't be worn.

In fact, your salary is not low, and you usually have room and board here, so don’t treat yourself badly when it comes to clothing."

Hu Pingtao felt that it was difficult to explain this matter at once: "Instructor, I think this clothes is just like the profession, no matter how high or low you are, as long as you feel suitable and comfortable."

This was said very skillfully. Chen Xinhong couldn't help but laugh and nodded: "You are right, that's the truth. But Xiaohu, if you are short of money, just tell me, we are all brothers in the same institute, you want a lion

If you ask me to borrow tens of thousands of dollars, I will definitely not be able to get it out, but I still have a few thousand dollars to help you out."

Hu Pingtao smiled: "Thank you, instructor."



When the electric car drove to the gate of the police station, it was already past six in the morning.

Hu Pingtao parked the car, Chen Xinhong got out of the car, walked into the duty room and said hello, and the closed door slowly opened from the inside.

Just when Hu Pingtao was about to drive in, a dark figure suddenly ran over from under the lamppost next to him.

She was a middle-aged woman dressed in a very rustic style.

She stood in front of the left front of the electric patrol car, with a fawning smile on her rough-skinned face: "Hello, you... are the police from this police station, right?"

Hu Pingtao sat in the car without moving. He looked at the woman, nodded, and asked doubtfully: "Is something wrong?"

The middle-aged woman clasped her hands together. She was very nervous, shrank her neck, and said cautiously: "My man got into a fight while drinking and got into trouble a few days ago, and he was caught by you. I asked someone to find a connection, and he said that he can be released today."
