Rebirth 90: The Long Road to Finding a Son

Wu Xing had not originally intended to let Qian Jindou and Zhan Jinhua off easily. Now, because of Qian Longchuan's injury, Qian Longbin couldn't think of letting the matter go easily.

Wu Xing and Zhao Hongjun supported Qian Longchuan and encouraged him to tell the police the whole story.

The police saw that the child was seriously injured. Thinking about what old lady Qian said, "it was just a minor injury", and the unreasonable attitude that the old lady showed intentionally or unintentionally, the police were more inclined to believe Qian Longchuan's statement.

In this way, the suspicion of Qian Longchuan stealing money was successfully transferred to Qian Longbin. At this time, Qian Longbin was still in the county detention center, eagerly waiting for his family to rescue him.

At noon, he only drank a bowl of watery porridge and a vegetarian bun in the detention center. He didn't eat in the morning, so he soon started to growl with hunger. He was still in pain from the beating by Wu Xing. He lifted up his trouser leg and found a large bruise on his leg.

It was only half a day, but Qian Longbin already felt a little overwhelmed. He really missed the days when he was free and could eat, drink and have fun outside.

When he heard the words "someone is looking for him", he almost jumped up with joy. He thought it was his family members coming to rescue him.

He has been the baby of the family since he was a child. Although he comes from the countryside, he has hardly done any physical work and has never suffered any hardship in life. Even when he suffered some skin injuries that are common among rural children, his grandmother was extremely nervous.

Having suffered such a great suffering this time, he knew that his family would definitely find a way to rescue him as soon as possible.

But when he saw that the people looking for him were not his relatives but two uniformed policemen, he suddenly lost his excitement.

"Qian Longbin, we are here to investigate a theft case!" said the policeman opposite.

When Qian Longbin heard this, he unconsciously became nervous. However, he had already decided to frame Qian Longchuan for this matter. He did not expect that his family would discover that the money had been stolen so quickly.

He calmed himself down and asked in a tone of ignorance, "Stolen? What do you mean stolen? Why are you looking for me to catch a thief? I'm not a thief!"

The police said, "Don't get excited. We are here today to understand the situation. Now answer two questions for us. Where were you last night? What did you do?"

Qian Longbin thought that no one knew about what happened last night except Qian Longchuan, and there was no substantial evidence. As long as he insisted on not telling the truth, they would have no way to do anything to him.

Thinking of this, he responded: "Last night? I was sleeping at home, I didn't go anywhere? My family can testify to that."

The police then asked: "Qian Longchuan was injured by you, is this correct?"

Qian Longbin wanted to deny that Qian Longchuan was injured, but that little bitch Qian Niandi lied with her eyes open and insisted that she saw Qian Longbin beating someone, otherwise he would not have been caught here.

Now when Qian Longbin thought of his cousin, he felt so angry that his teeth were itching. He was thinking about taking revenge on Qian Niandi when he got out.

He nodded and responded, "I beat him, that's right, because I found out that he was not behaving well in our house, so I beat him up."

The police followed up Qian Longbin's question and asked, "Why is he not being honest? Can you tell me more about it?"

Qian Longbin replied: "Everyone in the family was asleep at night. I got up to go to the bathroom and found Qian Longchuan sneaking into another room to look for something. I thought he was going to do something bad, so I caught him and beat him up."

"So when you hit someone, it must have made quite a noise, right? I heard that there were quite a few people staying in your house yesterday. Wasn't anyone woken up?" The policeman asked the point.

Qian Longbin stammered, "Maybe, maybe I was too tired yesterday and slept very deeply, right?"

"Are you sure that your family member was sleeping too deeply and not drugged?" the police asked directly.

Qian Longbin's expression was obviously tense for a moment, but he still pretended to be calm and said, "What drug? What you said is quite scary. Who is so wicked as to drug us?"

The policeman said, "I was talking about your family being drugged, not you! Otherwise, how could you get up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet?"

Qian Longbin continued to play dumb and said, "Is it okay if I woke up because I had to pee? Uncle police, didn't you guys get up in the middle of the night?"

After several rounds of conversation, the interrogating police found that Qian Longbin was a little rascal, and confirmed that the theft in the house was closely related to him.

The policeman said to him, "Do you know how much money was lost from your house?"

Qian Longbin replied: "How should I know? I didn't steal it!"

The police officer who was questioning him raised his scissors hand and said, "Two thousand dollars!"

To deal with such a rascal, the veteran policeman with 20 years of experience still had many ways to pry open his mouth. The words he just said to Qian Longbin were both true and false, but Qian Longbin believed them to be true.

When he heard the police say that two thousand yuan was missing from his home, he became visibly nervous and blurted out, "It was clearly one thousand yuan..."

After saying this, Qian Longbin hurriedly covered his mouth, but the policeman had a look of knowing everything: Little guy, can't we punish you?

He said to Qian Longbin, "Tell me, what did you do yesterday? Where did you hide the money at home?"

Qian Longbin sat there angrily because he had just been tricked by the police, not saying a word.

The policeman went on to say, "This is a lot of money for you, right? Your grandmother said she wanted to use this money to rescue you, and Qian Longchuan's family wanted to hold you accountable, so they had to spend money to get the matter over with.

Now that your grandparents have lost their money, you will probably have to stay in prison for a few more days. Because Qian Longchuan's family has decided to sue you, if you can't pay compensation and there is no way to reconcile, this matter is still very troublesome.

After all, you will soon be eighteen years old, and you will be sentenced according to the sentencing standards for adults."

After hearing these words, Qian Longbin was really scared and regretted why he had the urge to steal the money.

If the money hadn't been hidden by me, would my grandmother have already taken the money and settled the matter?

After all, it was Qian Longbin’s first time to commit a crime. He had no experience and his psychological quality was not that strong. He could not stand it after being cheated by the police.

He asked: "Uncle police, can I be released if my family pays me? Can I call home? My grandma has money, she will definitely find a way to get the money together.

Can you tell me how much money it will cost? I'll ask my grandma to prepare it as soon as possible. I don't want to stay in this crappy place anymore, wuwuwu~"

As Qian Longbin spoke, he felt so wronged that he actually started crying.

The police readily agreed to Qian Longbin's request to call home. They took him directly to the office and watched him dial the home number.

After two beeps, the call was connected, and the voice of old lady Qian came from the receiver. Qian Longbin couldn't control himself when he heard his grandmother's voice, and burst into tears: "Grandma, it's me, wuwuwu~, please bring money to save me, they said they will let me go home if I pay the money. Wuwuwu, I'm starving, there's nothing to eat here, I haven't eaten for two meals~"

When Mrs. Qian heard her precious grandson crying, she felt so distressed and comforted him, "Xiaobin, did they ask for money? Our house was robbed. Your second uncle gave you 1,000 yuan yesterday, but I don't know who stole it. The two useless policemen came and left without finding anything..."

Before Mrs. Qian could finish her words, Qian Longbin nervously glanced at the policeman beside him and interrupted, "Grandma, stop talking. You must have misplaced the money. Go look for it in the wing room next to the pigsty. Don't you hide your money in the wing room because you're afraid of theft?"
