Chapter 39: The Third Platoon Being Played Around With

  The next morning, Liu Li got up and saw Lin Shuangshuang putting bowls and chopsticks on the dining table. He thought of his actions last night and didn't know how to face Lin Shuangshuang, feeling a bit embarrassed.

  After arranging the bowls and chopsticks, Lin Shuang saw Liu Li standing at the bedroom door in a daze. Perhaps she also remembered what happened last night, her face suddenly turned red, and the two of them stood facing each other in silence, neither of them speaking.

  At this time, Tingting climbed onto the chair by herself and saw Liu Li standing there without speaking. She couldn't help but feel a little strange: "Dad, Mom, why haven't you come to eat yet?"

  Upon hearing Tingting's words, Lin Shuangshuang's face turned slightly red as she glanced at Liu Li, then pretended to be calm and said: "Hurry up and wash up, Tingting is waiting for you to eat, what a lazy worm." After that, Lin Shuangshuang still went into Liu Li's bedroom to help him tidy up his bed.

  Jian Lin didn't seem angry about last night's incident, nor did he behave strangely. He smiled at Tingting: "Tingting, eat first, Daddy can only eat after washing his face and brushing his teeth."

  After having breakfast, Liu Li and Lin Shuangshuang, as usual, held Tingting's hand and sent her to kindergarten. After sending Tingting into the kindergarten and saying goodbye to Lin Shuangshuang, Liu Li seemed to have thought of something and ran quickly to the building where he lived.

  After arriving downstairs, Liu Li bent down and crawled into the green belt in front of the building. He looked up at the window on the upper floor, then lowered his head to search through the grass. He was looking for the mobile phone he had thrown away last night.

  Liu Li threw away his mobile phone in a fit of anger at that time, but now he has regained his composure. Only then did he feel that he had been impulsive earlier, because if the phone couldn't be found, he would have to spend money to buy another one again.

  Finally, Liu Li didn't go bankrupt. After rummaging through the bushes for a while, he found his phone. The quality of domestic mobile phones is indeed good. When Liu Li picked up the phone, he found that except for thirteen unconnected calls, nothing else was wrong with it.

  He took a look at the missed calls and found that they were all from Li Liang. After Liu Li called back, Li Liang told him that he had investigated all the alarm call records for this month from the command center and made a major discovery.

  After hearing this, Liu Li couldn't sit still and got on his own special vehicle, rushing to the third team. After arriving at the team, he eagerly called Li Liang over and asked him what he had discovered.

  Li Liang and Liu Li arrived at the duty room, he first looked around mysteriously downstairs, seeing that the people from the police station below had not come up, he glanced left and right again, finally he pulled a puzzled Liu Li into the duty room, locked the door, and sat down opposite Liu Li with a serious expression.

  Liu Li was stunned by Li Liang's actions: "I... you shouldn't have been a thief before, right? This posture looks like it hasn't been blown away by the wind. I said, isn't it just finding out some clues from the command center? How did you manage to do it like a thief?"

  "Cough, cough... This is the aftermath of going undercover in the thieves' gang before. Ah, sorry about that." After giving a somewhat embarrassed explanation, Li Liang's expression returned to normal: "Deputy Captain, I've already checked, this month the county bureau command center received 1126 calls to 110."

  Among them, there were 965 valid police cases. Among the 965 valid police cases, there were 662 civil dispute cases, 239 public security cases, and 64 criminal cases. According to the records of the command center, among the 64 criminal cases, 6 occurred in the jurisdiction of our third squadron, including 1 case in Lijiang Town, 1 case in Lanyu Town, and 4 cases in Daxing Town.

  "Isn't that right? Is the record of the command center wrong? If there were 6 criminal cases in our jurisdiction this month, why didn't our squadron receive any?" Liu Li asked doubtfully.

  "After hearing this, Li Liang explained to him: 'The reason is very simple. Those criminal cases were all withheld by the local police station. After receiving the case, they did not report it to us, but instead chose to mediate within the station and mediated the received criminal cases.'"

  "Isn't mediation prohibited in criminal cases? Where did the people from Daxing Town Police Station get the nerve to mediate a criminal case?" Liu Li questioned.

  Upon hearing Liu Li's questioning, Li Liang continued to explain: "I asked a fellow from the Legal Affairs Department, although criminal cases are not allowed to be mediated, but in some grassroots units, some criminal cases can actually be mediated."

  For example, among the four criminal cases mediated by Daxing Town Police Station, there was a case where Yu Chong and Yu Zhen were biological brothers. The two had a dispute over the issue of supporting their elderly parents while drinking a week ago, which escalated into physical conflict.

  Yu Zhen picked up a brick and knocked out Yu Chong's two front teeth. This doesn't even require a forensic doctor's diagnosis, as the loss of two front teeth constitutes minor injury. The victim was hit with a brick by the suspect and suffered minor injuries, which brings this case into the realm of criminal cases.

  However, the parents of both parties came forward afterwards. After Yu Zhen sobered up, he realized his mistake and not only apologized to Yu Chong but also took the initiative to bear all of Yu Chong's medical expenses and promised to pay a sum of money as compensation.

  Because of the parents' advice, considering the brotherly affection, and Yu Zhen's promise to compensate for the funds, Yu Chong no longer pursued Yu Zhen's responsibility. At this time, the police station would mediate the case.

  At that time, a mediation letter will be issued to let Yu Zhen pay the hospital expenses of Yu Chong and the compensation fees he promised, and then order Yu Zhen to pay a fine to the police station. The case can be closed.

  To know, for a general public security case, the fine authority of the police station is 500 yuan, but for such a criminal case, the police station that accepts the case can at least impose a fine of 5,000 yuan.

  This way, they can complete the number of cases cracked and also get a sum of money, so some police stations will keep such easy-to-handle criminal cases for themselves.

  Li Liang paused for a moment, then continued: "In addition to this type of case, there is another type of criminal case that some police stations will not report to us, and that is when the facts of the case are very clear."

  For example, in the case of Lanyu Town, suspect Zhang Kai deliberately set fire to three greenhouses at Zhang Lianzhe's home after a dispute with his fellow villager, causing losses of over 300,000 yuan. This is a typical criminal case.

  But after the police arrived at the scene, they caught Zhang Kai in the act. After sobering up, Zhang Kai also admitted to setting the fire and handed over the gasoline and lighter used for ignition.

  "In this situation, the Lanyu faction took all the case files and suspect's confessions as well as on-site materials and reported them to the Procuratorate. Through the Procuratorate, Zhang Kai was arrested. As a result, the case was solved and the credit went to them, we didn't have anything to do with it. Who would report such undeserved merit to us?"

  "How shameless...". After scolding, Liu Li looked at Li Liang with a face full of anger: "Isn't this equivalent to putting us in a precarious position? They keep the cases that can be fined for money, and they also keep the cases that can be meritorious.

  "Why do they only report those troublesome cases that have no leads or clues to us? How can the police stations be like this? They eat meat, but at least they should give us some soup, right? No way, I'll go find them!"

  Liu Li was just complaining, when suddenly, a knock on the door came from the duty room. After Li Liang opened the door, he saw Zhang Shi, the instructor of Daxing Town Police Station, standing at the door with a smile:

  "Deputy captain, a few days ago, a criminal case occurred in the jurisdiction of our Daxing Town. We have almost finished investigating the peripheral materials. The criminal case is under your jurisdiction now. I am transferring the case to our third squadron and would like to trouble you to assign someone to take over the investigation."
