Chapter 855 Deserve it
This old guy often drinks and abuses his wife and children at any time. His wife and children are often beaten by him and are covered with bruises all year round. In the end, his wife's ears were deafened.

When the child grew up, he lived with his mother and completely cut off ties with him.

When the bus incident happened, Ms. Zhou's child went to the hospital for emergency treatment. The old man was afraid that he would fail to extort money and would be extorted instead, so he pretended to be sick and went to the hospital.

It turned out that he was in the advanced stage of cancer. This caused a big uproar. Whether it was Ms. Zhou, his son whom he had abused before, or even the police, anyone who had anything to do with him was blackmailed by him.

In the drama, it was Chen Xincheng and Li Dawei who responded to the call. It was because they were too virtuous that they got stuck with this old gangster.

Then he met Wang Shouyi, who was even more compassionate. Not only did he ask the institute to advance and donate money to pay for the old rogue's medical expenses, he also sent Li Dawei to wipe the old rogue's shit and urine. It's disgusting just thinking about it!

This is the right thing to do for good people, but for this old rogue, he should suffer the consequences of his own actions.

Lin Hao has always believed that evil will be punished, so this kind of person cannot be allowed to have good rewards.

Since he is leading the police team this time, he will not bring this trouble back, nor will he care about this old rogue. It is best to let him fend for himself!
After watching the surveillance video, Zhao Jiwei said: "They say bad people get worse as they get older, but I think some people have been bad since they were young!"

"Brother Lin, how should we deal with this old man?"

Lin Hao shook his head and said, "This old guy is not easy to deal with!"

Zhao Jiwei was stunned when he heard this, and then asked in confusion:
"Why is it difficult to handle? It's obvious that the old man was the first to provoke, and he was on a moving bus, so he is suspected of endangering public safety. Let's detain him first!"

"Just hold me, hold me, hold me!" Lin Hao said unhappily.
"You've studied the Public Security Administration Punishment Law in the police academy, right? What does Article 21, Paragraph 3, stipulate?"

Zhao Jiwei thought for a moment and said, "People over the age of 70 cannot be detained administratively~!"

Zhao Jiwei said with some disappointment: "Brother Lin, so, we can't do anything about this old bad guy?"

Lin Hao sighed, then shook his head and said, "Not only that, you also watched the video just now, right?"

Zhao Jiwei nodded silently, then asked vigilantly: "I saw it, what's wrong, Brother Lin, is there a problem?"

Lin Hao pointed at the video and said, "Didn't you see in the video that old man Wang pushed Ms. Zhou, and Ms. Zhou fought back and scratched the old man's face!"

Zhao Jiwei said in surprise: "Isn't this self-defense?"

Lin Hao smiled and said, "Then let me ask you, which law clearly applies to self-defense?"

"Is it the Criminal Law, the Administrative Penalty Law, or the Public Security Administration Penalty Law?"

Zhao Jiwei thought about it, and then said firmly: "It's the criminal law!"

"Well, which law applies to the dispute they just had?" Lin Hao continued to ask.

"Oh, I understand!" Zhao Jiwei recalled what he learned in school and said:

"The criminal law targets serious behavior that has already constituted a crime. Since the crime has not yet occurred, it cannot be considered as legitimate defense."

"Although administrative penalties are for illegal acts that have not yet constituted a crime, the dispute between the elderly and women and children does not constitute an administrative penalty."

"So the Public Security Administration Regulations apply!" At this point, Zhao Jiwei instantly understood this point and said, scratching his head:

"But according to the Public Security Management Regulations, if the victim injures the offender while stopping an ongoing violation of public security management, and the behavior is not provoked or deliberately provoked, and the damage is within the necessary limit, then this kind of injury can be regarded as legitimate defense and should not be subject to public security management punishment!"

Hearing this, Lin Hao said with admiration: "I thought only Yang Shu, a master's degree holder, was a top student, but I didn't expect you to be not that bad!"

Then Lin Hao said seriously: "So, according to the Public Security Management Regulations, the maximum penalty for their case is administrative detention. The old man cannot be detained because he is over 70, and Ms. Zhou cannot be detained for acting in self-defense. So what do you think we should do?"

Zhao Jiwei was stunned when he heard this, and then said depressedly:

"Isn't this a bug? This is too unfair. The elderly need to be taken care of, and women and children also need protection!"

Lin Haodao shook his head, then said helplessly:
"Reality is so helpless. Behind every seemingly unreasonable or inhumane regulation is a bloody lesson. Maybe a small number of people will suffer losses, but the vast majority will benefit from it!"

"Of course, some people will take advantage of this loophole to profit for themselves, just like this old man!"

Zhao Jiwei nodded thoughtfully, no longer complaining about the injustice of the law, but seemed to have suddenly thought of something.

Then Zhao Jiwei suddenly frowned and said:

"By the way, let's check the old man's age to see if he is really over seventy. If not~!"

Lin Hao shook his head and said, "Okay, no need to check, this old guy is 71 years old this year!"

The staff member next to him immediately said:
"Yes, the old man is 71 years old. He took the bus with his senior citizen card, which has his age on it!"

Zhao Jiwei looked at Lin Hao in surprise, and then asked: "Master, do you know this old guy?"

Lin Hao stood up and prepared to leave, and said lightly:

Knowing this person, this old guy is a bad person. He often abuses his wife and son, and even made his wife deaf!

"After his son Wang Gang got married, he wanted his parents to divorce, but his mother couldn't bear it, so Wang Gang had no choice but to bring Wang Jianguo back to live with him."

"Who knew Wang Jianguo would go crazy and actually asked Wang Gang's mother to kneel down and beat her in front of his one-year-old son. Only then did Wang Gang sever the father-son relationship with Wang Jianguo and no longer acknowledged or cared about him!"

"Master, how do you know so much about this old man?" Zhao Jiwei asked curiously.

"Have you forgotten where I worked before I came to Balihe?" Lin Hao took Zhao Jiwei and the staff to the office.

"I heard it was Shili River~!" At this point, Zhao Jiwei said in surprise:

"Is this old man also from Shilihe? Is that why you know this?"

Lin Hao nodded, and then said:
"We can only talk to Ms. Zhou first. The best way to deal with this now is to quickly resolve the matter and not give the old rogue a chance to make trouble!"

Lin Hao turned around and said, "Jiwei, go and invite Ms. Zhou over!"

Zhao Jiwei was stunned for a moment: "Okay!"

When Ms. Zhou came over with the child in her arms, Lin Hao got straight to the point:

"Ms. Zhou, we have seen the surveillance video. The responsibility is not yours, it's entirely the other party's!"

Ms. Zhou's eyes were red as she said, "Police comrades, you have to help me. I was holding my child and he came up and started to attack me!"

Lin Hao shook his head and said, "Ms. Zhou, we understand your feelings. People like this are really hateful!"

"But, there is one thing I need to tell you. Our country's laws stipulate that people over 70 years old cannot be detained administratively, and the old man is already 71!" "For the matter between you two, the maximum penalty is administrative detention. The other party will be exempted from punishment because of his age. If you continue to pursue the matter, you will be blamed by the other party."

Ms. Zhou's eyes widened in disbelief:

"So, if I continue to make trouble, not only will I not be able to hold the old man responsible, but I will also get into trouble."

"The other party has not violated the criminal law, and our police can't do anything to him." Lin Hao nodded silently and said:
"But according to normal procedures, this case is just a minor public security dispute. You acted in self-defense, and he is over 70 years old. The best outcome is that both parties sign a letter of understanding, and the matter will be over!"

"But if you're still angry, you can file a civil lawsuit. But what do you think will be the best outcome after suing him?"

"The key issue is that this old man is not a good person~!" Lin Hao then told her about Wang Jianguo's story.

Finally, Lin Hao whispered, "Now the old man has liver cirrhosis again, and it's in the late stage. It's very easy to induce cancer. His son clearly said that he won't take care of him, so he is now looking for a scapegoat to take care of him!"

Ms. Zhou was horrified when she heard this. She didn’t expect the old man to be so cruel. He said she deserved to get cancer. But then she thought that she might be blamed by him this time!
"Well, what should I do now?" Ms. Zhou asked at a loss, "Will he keep relying on me?"

Lin Hao did not answer Ms. Zhou directly, but instead said to Zhao Jiwei and the people at the bus station:

"Jiwei, you and the staff go to the old man and register his basic information!"

"What about here~?" Zhao Jiwei asked puzzledly.

"I'm here, go ahead!" Lin Hao said.

"Okay!" Zhao Jiwei left the office without thinking too much.

After the two left, only Lin Hao and Ms. Zhou were left in the office. At this time, Lin Hao whispered:

"This kind of person is just asking for trouble, so my advice is to cut the Gordian knot and resolve this matter first, so as to avoid being stuck to it like a dog-skin plaster."

"Then wait for this old guy to get cancer, and he won't be able to return home. He will die on the street in three or two months!"

"You deserve it. Let's do it!" Ms. Zhou's originally depressed mood instantly felt relieved after hearing what Lin Hao said.

Then Lin Hao gave Ms. Zhou another reminder. Ms. Zhou was stunned for a moment, looked at the child in her arms, and sighed:

"Then let's do as you say. I also want to end things with him as soon as possible. We really can't afford to waste time with such a scumbag."

Lin Hao smiled and said, "Be wise, don't get entangled with bad people. Such people will be dealt with by God."

Thinking about the future fate of this old man, Ms. Zhou felt much better. Then she smiled and said:

"Thank you! Thank you for your trouble, police comrade."

Lin Hao sighed, shook his head and said, "It's not a problem. Actually, as a policeman, I feel uncomfortable when I see you being bullied by such a person but I can't punish him. Especially when I meet such a person, I can't help you get justice."

Having said that, Lin Hao took her back to the meeting room again.

When Old Man Wang saw Lin Hao and his companions coming back, he immediately hummed and said:
"Police comrade, this woman beat me so badly, you can't let her get away!"

Lin Hao walked forward and slapped the table: "That's enough. How long do you want to pretend? Be honest."

Old man Wang was stunned for a moment, then stopped humming and looked at Lin Hao and said:
"Comrade police officer, how could you do this! Didn't you see that I was beaten? You are not trying to favor this shameless woman!"

"Don't try to change the subject!" Lin Hao snorted coldly.

"I've already watched the surveillance video. This lady is not responsible. It's you who deliberately picked a fight with a woman holding a toddler. How come it's a bit like fraud."

Wang Jianguo's heart skipped a beat, and then he said with a twinkling look in his eyes:
"Police comrade, please don't scare me. I'm already 70 years old. According to the law, I can't be detained. I won't fall for it!"

"You're being shameless, aren't you?" Lin Hao sneered and said:
"I've seen a lot of old rascals like you. You think I can't deal with you just because you're old? You're being so arrogant here."

"Pa~!" Lin Hao slapped the table again and said:

"It doesn't matter if you are a 70-year-old man. Only public security regulations apply. If it is a criminal case, it is not included in this list!"

"Wang Jianguo, I just checked your information. Have you forgotten that your wife was deafened?"

"Injuring someone and causing disability constitutes intentional injury. We can prosecute you for this and still arrest you. Do you really think there is no way to punish you?"

Wang Jianguo was so frightened when he heard this that he shrank his head and stammered:
"Who knows if you are lying to me? She is my wife. I can beat her if I want. What does it have to do with you?"

"By the way, my wife will definitely not sue me, so it's none of your business, you have no right to interfere!"

"You beat someone to the point of disability for life, which must have constituted serious injury and a criminal offense. The person concerned or the procuratorate will bring charges against you on behalf of the state."

Lin Hao raised his head, looked at Wang Jianguo with a half-smile and said, "How about it, do you want us to help?"

Wang Jianguo was shocked and confused, and for a moment he couldn't tell how much of what Lin Hao said was true and how much was false.

But I actually believed it in my heart. After all, it’s not like this thing is impossible to find out, and lies are too easy to expose.

"Tell me, you scared Ms. Zhou and her child so badly, have you ever thought about how much responsibility you should take?"

Wang Jianguo immediately quit after hearing this and said:

"Comrade police officer, why should I bear the responsibility? Look at my face, it's been bruised like this!"

Then he thought of something and cried out wailingly:

"Oh, I was severely injured by her. At most, I won't hold her responsible for beating me!"

Lin Hao took the opportunity to pretend to persuade Ms. Zhou:

"Ms. Zhou, what do you think? You understand the reason. After all, it's just a small matter. Even if both of you hold each other accountable, there won't be much compensation!"

"So, it's better for us to sign a mutual understanding agreement and then go back to our respective homes and find our respective mothers. After all, everyone's time is precious and there's no need to waste it here."

When Wang Jianguo said he would not pursue the matter, Ms. Zhou felt relieved at once. As long as she could get rid of this old man, it would be enough.

"Well, considering your age, I won't bother with the beating. I won't ask you for compensation. I still have to feed my child when I get home!"

Lin Hao turned around and ordered: "Jiwei, let them both sign!"
