"You think I'm scaring you?"

Hu Pingtao said seriously: "You can find out by yourself by searching on the Internet. So you are young and ignorant, and you can show the knife casually? Do you think if you scare people, they will honestly take out the money? Tell me in the big way.

, what is the difference between your behavior and robbery with a knife?"

Xu Yan's face turned pale and she quickly explained: "I...I didn't mean it. I also learned from my boyfriend. When he used to fight with people in his hometown, he always carried a knife with him. Later, he and I came to the provincial capital to work, and he

He changed to a smaller one and took out the knife when something happened. Others were afraid of him..."

Cui Wen said coldly: "Is it important to have a knife? We police officers are not just for a living."

Hu Pingtao was also angry at Xu Yan's words and laughed: "You think things are too simple. It is a serious crime to commit murder with a knife. Even the king of heaven will still be arrested."

Seeing Xu Yan lowering her head again, Hu Pingtao couldn't bear to continue blaming him, so he could only persuade Education: "Then what do you think now?"

Xu Yan was silent for a few seconds and made a very low voice: "I...I was wrong."

…

After leaving the obstetrics and gynecology clinic and entering the elevator, Cui Wen flipped through the record in his hand and shook his head: "This one is called Xu Yan... Oh, I really don't know what to say about her. She is so afraid of her boyfriend.

She was so frightened by the phone call that she ran to the hospital to ask the doctor to borrow money, and she even brought a knife... Couldn't she have been brainwashed?"

Hu Pingtao explained: "It's too brainwashed to talk about. I can only say that her sense of subordination is too strong. I guess Xu Yan has been good with her boyfriend for a long time. I guess the man is very strong, beating, scolding and threatening.

After a long time, everyone will be afraid! If you have any legal awareness, you will definitely call the police. But you also saw it just now, Xu Yan is just a little girl, and her parents are not around, even using a knife to ask for money,

She learned it all from her boyfriend."

"So this matter must be notified to her family. I kept the phone number of the institute. When her father comes, I can give her a good education."

After getting out of the elevator, Cui Wen said as he walked: "Those two doctors are quite good, and they have no responsibility to pursue Xu Yan."

Hu Pingtao nodded: "Yes! He was able to waive the surgery fee for her and arrange a ward. This doctor named Pu is really good and benevolent."

Cui Wendao: "But I still feel uncomfortable in my heart. I feel..."

Seeing no one around, he approached Hu Pingtao and lowered his voice: "It feels like that story - the farmer and the snake."

Hu Pingtao did not refute. He pondered for a moment and nodded slightly: "It does mean something like that... Well, that's why children must be disciplined from an early age, and the logic from parents has a great influence on children."

"It's hard to tell whether Xu Yan's problem is her parents' problem at the moment. But her boyfriend is definitely not a thing. The same is true for this little girl Xu Yan. She doesn't know what to do, but she threatens others with a knife."

Cui Wen was about to open his mouth when he heard Hu Pingtao's cell phone ringing.

When I picked it up, I saw it was Sun Jie's number.

"Director Hu, why are you leaving? I also said that after you finish the case, we can have dinner together after get off work." Sun Jie complained on the phone.

Hu Pingtao smiled and said: "I'm busy at work, both inside and outside. Dr. Sun, please don't be polite."

"That's not possible. You have helped me several times. I have to treat you to dinner no matter what." Sun Jie's attitude was very firm.

"How about another day!" Hu Pingtao smiled and made an excuse: "It's really not possible today. There is another case coming from the 110 Command Center, so we must rush there."

"No way!" Sun Jie was a little doubtful: "Even so, you still have to eat and sleep!"

Just as he said this, Cui Wen's cell phone rang. It was the landline number of the institute.

He answered the phone, and Tan Tao's voice came from the phone: "Xiao Cui, are you with the boss?"

Cui Wen nodded and replied: "Yes."

"His phone can't be reached and the line is always busy." Tan Tao complained and asked: "What happened to you over there? The hospital case has not been resolved yet?"

Hu Pingtao knew what was going on as soon as he heard it. He quickly made a gesture and asked Cui Wen to hand over his mobile phone. He clicked on speakerphone, leaned close to the microphone of his mobile phone, and asked Tan Tao loudly: "I'm here."

Just finished, what happened?"

"I called your phone because it was busy, so I had to call Xiao Cui." Tan Tao explained on the phone: "There is something going on at the 110 Command Center: Someone called the police at No. 223 Dongwangzhuang. Meng Hui and I just came from

I came back from the vegetable market and caught someone stealing a bag from a pork stall. He couldn't leave. If you've finished dealing with it over there, go over and have a look!"

"Okay, Cui Wen and I will go now." Hu Pingtao answered readily.

After hanging up Tan Tao's call, he turned to Sun Jie and said deliberately: "You heard it just now! I really didn't lie to you."

Sun Jie didn't insist anymore: "Then you get busy first! We'll make an appointment later. But let's make an agreement first! I must treat you to this meal sooner or later, and you must come too."

Hu Pingtao laughed heartily: "Okay! That's it."

…

No. 223 Dongwangzhuang is a courtyard. It used to be the dormitory of the Aerospace Industry Bureau. Later, the organization was abolished and merged with the Southwest Provincial Institution in Fucheng. All researchers and major equipment were transferred.

The land was retained and handed over to the city.

The old dormitory has been preserved. It is actually a compound. The houses are all in the architectural style of the last century. There is no elevator and no underground parking lot. Because most of the owners have left, the old houses here have either been sold or rented out.

It was a mess and there were piles of debris everywhere, and the property management couldn't do anything about it.

The address provided by the caller was Building 302, Building 4.

After going upstairs, as soon as I reached the door, I heard fierce yelling and cursing coming from inside through the closed door.

"Nah, if you sell a calf, you won't get a penny back, and you still have to learn to be poor."

"Damn old man, you are working hard all day long, and you have to take care of me when I scramble an egg. You are so paralyzed that you have no control over my peeing and pooping. I think you have eaten too much to hold me back!"

"If you dare, say it again, do you believe that I will chop you to death with a knife?"

"Come on! Give it a try and chop it. The worst that happens today is that I will hold you to death together!"

Upon hearing this, Hu Pingtao quickly raised his hand and knocked hard on the door, while shouting loudly: "Open the door, police!"

The door opened and the first person he saw was a middle-aged man in his forties.

"You're finally here." He took a long breath of relief.

Hu Pingtao was about to ask, when suddenly an old man jumped out from the living room, raised his finger and pointed here, yelling: "So what if the police are here? I will beat you to death today!"

Hu Pingtao quickly raised his hand to buy in, and sternly stopped the old man: "Speak nicely, you can talk about any problem. Don't shout to kill. This is a society ruled by law. If you use a knife and see blood, you will be beaten when the time comes.

I can’t eat and walk around.”

The old man was wearing a blue and white striped short-sleeved shirt and looked very arrogant: "This is my home, I have the final say."

Without waiting for Hu Pingtao to say anything, he raised his hand and pointed outside, shouting angrily: "Who let you in? Get out of here!"

Cui Wen was so angry that he was about to open his mouth, but Hu Pingtao reached out to stop him.

"Don't worry about him, just take your own photos. As long as there is video."

After saying that, Hu Pingtao turned around, swept his serious eyes across the two of them, and asked, "Who called the police?"

"I, I reported it." The middle-aged man raised his right hand and spoke very quickly: "My name is Peng Yong."

Seeing this, Hu Pingtao was quite surprised. He opened his book and wrote down his name. Then he raised his head and asked, "Why, have you called the police before?"

Peng Yong sighed: "I've reported it several times, and it all happened in the past few years. There has been a lot of trouble at home, and my life has been... Oh, I won't mention it anymore. You guys can come in first and talk about it."

The old man stood in the middle of the corridor and refused to let the way out. He was still cursing: "You are not allowed to enter. This is my home and I have the final say."

Peng Yong exploded when he heard this. He turned around suddenly and stared at the old man with extremely angry eyes.

"Do you think so? Then I will never come here again. I won't give you the thousand yuan every month. You can ask whoever you want for drinks!"

When the old man heard this, he opened his mouth. It was obvious that he was preparing harsh words, but he couldn't say anything.

Peng Yong continued: "If you get sick in the future and are hospitalized and take medicine, you will be responsible for everything. I will not give you a penny."

The old man's eyes twitched a few times, then he turned around reluctantly and gave way to the passage.

Hu Pingtao noticed that the old man had been gritting his teeth secretly.

Walking into the living room, there was a middle-aged woman sitting on the sofa with a little girl in her arms.

Peng Yong introduced: "This is my wife and this is my daughter."

Hu Pingtao roughly guessed the relationship between him and the old man, raised his finger to the old man who had just sat down on the chair, and asked: "Is he your father? Or your father-in-law?"

"My father-in-law." Peng Yong felt a little tired and depressed: "Today's matter... Well, it has been like this for decades, and it has not changed at all!"

Hu Pingtao smiled and comforted: "Tell me, what happened?"

Peng Yong calmed down and cleared his thoughts: "I have been married to my wife for many years, and as you can see, even the children are so big. My mother-in-law was a good person, but it was a pity that she passed away early. Now only my father-in-law is left in the family here.

According to previous habits, when we have free time or weekends, we bring our children over to see him and have a meal together or something."

"But he has a bad temper." Peng Yong pointed at the old man and his words began to become quite fierce: "He is very stingy... No, he should be a stingy, stingy and iron cock. Not to mention to outsiders, even to himself.

Everyone is like this."

When the old man heard this, he couldn't sit still. He stood up from the chair with a "swish", pointed at Peng Yong and cursed: "You didn't brush your teeth when you got up in the morning? Who are you calling stingy?"

Peng Yong showed no sign of weakness and retorted: "What about you! What's wrong? Did I say something wrong? You are so worthless!"

The old man was furious: "If you can, say it again. Believe it or not, I will stab you to death."

Peng Yong laughed angrily, turned around and said to Hu Pingtao: "Officer, you have seen it, right? He is always like this, he doesn't get along with anyone. He will start a quarrel with just two words, and then shout to fight and kill.

of."

Hu Pingtao also shook his head at this. He turned to the old man and said seriously: "Please show me your ID card."
