Chapter 604: Not a Fraud
Bang Geng hugged Jia Zhang and glanced at Qin Huairu.
"He was blocking the road and wouldn't let me pass. How could I know that he was holding something in his hand?"
"Kid, how can you talk like that? Why are you not allowed to pass? The road is so wide, why can't you just go anywhere? Why do you have to squeeze past me and run so fast!" said the middle-aged man calmly.
"There's water on the road!"
"Then why can't you wait a while? Why are you running?"
"Someone is chasing me."
"Can I bump into others if I chase you?"
The middle-aged man already showed impatience, and looked at Qin Huairu again.
"Will your family pay compensation? If not, I will go to the police station and ask the police to judge the case."
"Then go find them. Do you think you can fool us this way? You are willing to do it. Go quickly and see if the police will catch you."
Jia Zhang strongly protected Bang Geng and was not polite at all.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man did not hesitate.
He snatched the receipt from Qin Huairu's hand with a very bad look on his face.
"I didn't expect you were such a family! If you had said that earlier, I would have called the police. Since you said that, then call the police. Let me make it clear, the Friendship Store doesn't have the same antique. When the police come, the price won't be the same."
After saying that, he packed up his bag, turned around and left.
Qin Huairu was very panicked.
He wanted to stop it, but was stopped by Jia Zhang.
"Let them go. I've seen this many times. They are just scammers. If they dare to call the police, I'll give them my head."
After saying that, he took Banggeng and went back to the house.
Qin Huairu had no choice but to follow him in.
When she got home, Qin Huairu grabbed the stick and hit him hard twice.
"I told you to study at home, but you just wouldn't listen. When the family needed you to eat or drink, you just went out to play!"
"Why are you hitting him? What little boy doesn't play tricks? Isn't he back now?"
Since she had money, Jia Zhang also became more confident and pulled the stick over to protect it behind her.
"You're still pampering him. Don't you know that he's already been to a juvenile detention center? Do you still want him to go in?!"
"Just don't cause trouble, I'll take care of it. Tell me, why do you want to remarry after just getting divorced? Is it true or false?"
"Of course it's true!" Qin Huairu said angrily.
She was very disappointed with this family and wanted to live for herself.
"Who is it, where are you, how old are you?" Jia Zhang continued to ask.
"Don't worry about it!"
"What about the child? What should I do?"
"You can live alone. No, I'll give you the stick too."
"That won't work!"
Jia Zhang quickly raised her objection.
"You must take me with you. If you don't take me with you, the money must be left to me."
"You're dreaming! Why should I leave it to you?"
Qin Huairu was also very confident at this time.
The two wanted to argue again when a lot of people came into the yard, led by the middle-aged man who had just left.
"This is the family that broke my antiques, but they refused to compensate us and accused us of scamming people. Police officers, please give us your judgment."
Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang were suddenly panicked.
What do you mean, it’s really not a scam?
The two men hurried out of the house and just in time saw the local police officer, Officer Fan, coming over and knocking on the door.
"Hello, Officer Fan."
Qin Huairu quickly gave a forced smile.
"Well, where's Bang Geng? Let him come out."
"well."
Qin Huairu quickly turned around and pulled Banggen out.
"Officer Fan, I really thought it was a scam. Can you investigate it?"
"We must investigate thoroughly to see if it was a scam or not. We'll know soon. I've asked someone to find out."
Officer Fan pulled Bang Geng over and asked a few simple questions.
The process is very clear. Banggeng was fighting with someone and was being chased. Then he saw water on the road and ran past the middle-aged man. As he passed by, he accidentally knocked the antique in the middle-aged man's hand and broke it.
Therefore, as long as you ask clearly whether this antique was bought from the Friendship Store and whether it was really broken by a stick, you can basically determine whether it is a fraud.
Officer Fan came, but unlike last time, this time he attracted a lot of people in the yard to watch.
Everyone basically understood what was going on.
While they were discussing, Officer Fan's apprentice walked in quickly with his men.
"Master, I have asked around. There were indeed quite a few people at the scene who saw a child bump into someone and break a piece of porcelain. It was from behind, not from the front. The Friendship Store also confirmed that the cultural relic was indeed sold by them and it was not fake."
Officer Fan nodded.
In fact, his first feeling was also that it was a scam, but he didn't know where the problem lay.
"Has the Friendship Store confirmed that this is their antique?"
"Yes, they have photos of every antique they sell, and the red stamps and receipts all match."
The pressure was instantly put on Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu.
If it's true, they will have to pay 180 yuan in compensation, which is painful.
The most uncomfortable thing is that there are so many people watching them in the hospital, and they can’t say they have no money.
After seeing Officer Fan finish his question, the middle-aged man continued, "Comrade, I came here just now to ask them to compensate me according to the price I paid for this antique. You don't know, I was scolded away by them. They said very unpleasant things. So, I want to ask an expert to appraise the price and compensate me according to the price given by the expert. Do you think it's okay?"
"Antiques are special. If there are no similar products on the market, compensation should be based on the assessed price."
"Since you said so, then it's settled. I'll trouble you to help me find an expert to identify it. I'll pay for the identification!"
"also!"
Seeing the middle-aged man say this, Officer Fan agreed and at the same time completely eliminated the possibility that the other party was committing a scam.
Asking an expert to appraise an antique is not only about determining its value, but also about determining when it was broken.
People are not afraid of this, the probability of fraud is very low.
"Qin Huairu, you heard it too. This is not a scam. If you break someone's things, you must pay for it. The institute will issue an appraisal certificate later, and you can just pay according to the appraisal price."
In fact, when Qin Huairu saw the police coming, she knew something bad was going to happen. When she heard that they needed to go for an appraisal, she became even more panicked.
Just when I was about to look for Jia Zhang, she was nowhere to be seen.
Needless to say, you can tell that he has become a coward again.
"Hey, big brother, I will compensate you according to the price on the receipt, okay? It was our family that had a bad attitude just now, and I apologize to you.
Officer Fan, you know our family situation, my mother-in-law is like that, and my son Banggen didn't do it on purpose, please help explain it, please."
Officer Fan didn't want to make things too complicated, so he pulled the middle-aged man aside to chat for a while.
After saying all the good and bad things, the other party finally agreed reluctantly.
Qin Huairu quickly paid the money and everyone dispersed, ending the farce.
However, what followed was Banggeng's crying and begging for mercy, which echoed throughout the yard.
The severity of the incident was so great that even Liu Hai, who was immersed in his little notebook in the backyard, was shocked.
Unfortunately, apart from his second aunt who takes care of him, his son is no longer at home.
While the Jia family was beating the child, Wu Mazi walked out of the yard with a smile, then took many turns and quietly came to an alley, where waiting for him were the three middle-aged men who had just received the compensation.
The middle-aged man patted Wu Mazi on the shoulder, then happily handed over sixty yuan for his share of the profits.
