Chapter Twenty-Six: Infuriating Persistence

After a whole morning of rest, he got a call from the police officer who checked the surveillance, the content of the call was simple, Gaia found him, he followed a child from the wandering area to live in the other party's home, and he has not come out until now. After hearing this call, the weekend began to get busy again, at the moment Pablo was busy dealing with the Siberian Company and the full arrest of Doko, while he, pulling the hard-working full-time driver Nick, drove to the wandering area, behind the car, Roger and Gisti.

Of course, before picking up Gaia, there was a problem to solve by the end of the week, one of which he always thought would not involve any difficulty at all, and that was to let the owner of the car whose window was smashed by Gaia not continue to entangle, in other words, to spend money.

"Nick, can you please go and help me get Gaia back first?"

In the car, Weekend said this to Nick, and now Nick is unlikely to refuse Weekend, after he followed Weekend into the interrogation yesterday, he obeyed what this man said: "No problem, if you encounter any problems in negotiations, feel free to contact me." ”

Weekend smiled and replied, "Probably not." ”

Nick's gray Buick SUV was parked outside the door of a quaint house in the wandering area, with two palm trees standing on the left and right sides like a pair of stone lions, and it was in front of this environment that Roger and Christy got out of the car on the weekend, and then Roger rang the doorbell in his wheelchair.

Ding dong.

After the doorbell rang into the room, the footsteps remembered, accompanied. There is also a question: "Who's there?" ”

"Mr. Erkov?"

Crunch.

The door opened. A man wearing a blue shirt and black trousers appears inside the door. His body hair was long, and his arms exposed by his half-sleeved shirt could clearly see the forearms covered in sweat; He was a little older, and his hair, though still quite thick, was already half gray.

"You are?" He frowned and said no problem.

"Hello, Mr. Erkov, I apologize for the affair with your car, my name is Weekend."

The man looked down at the wheelchair under his ass and said, "You smashed my car window and removed my stereo?" ”

"No, you're mistaken. Of course not me. Weekend explained: "It's a child, Gaia." ”

He suddenly didn't know how to explain this relationship, so he could only say in the simplest way: "I am friends with his sister, and his sister is currently being treated in the hospital and cannot leave, so I come to apologize." ”

"Come in."

Erkov turned and walked into the house, and when Roger pushed Weekend into the room, he lowered his body and whispered in Weekend's ear, "I smell Lambert in this house." ”

Weekend looked up strangely behind him: "What does that mean?" ”

Roger shook his head: "I can't tell. ”

Erkov politely made a cup of coffee for the weekend, then took a bottle of Coke for Roger and Gisty, and said a little embarrassed: "That's all there is at home, I'm too lazy as an old man who lives alone." ”

Looks. This Erkov is a very good talker, and he actually started to talk to the weekend in this situation: "Mr. Zhou. What industry do you work in? ”

"Police." There was nothing to hide over the weekend, and there was no need to hide it.

"Oh." Erkov nodded, not saying much.

"And what do you think should be done about this matter?"

After hearing this question, Weekend said: "First of all, I'm sorry, Mr. Erkov, the responsibility for this incident is on Gaia, I have seen the surveillance video, when your car was parked on the side of the road, the person was not in the car, it was this group of children who broke the glass and stole the stereo." ”

"But, Mr. Erkov, I would like to ask you to hear how it happened...... "The weekend did not add any oil to the whole thing, but emphasized two points: first, Gaia did not run away from home by herself; Second, it is very likely that Gaia, who was kidnapped and left, was forced to choose this path when he was hungry and had no choice.

"Can you, I will compensate you for all your losses, please go to the police station to solve the case, Gaia is only eleven years old, he should not go to the police station for interrogation, and then be accompanied by a guardian to the court."

Erkov, seeing the earnestness of his words, pondered the weekend's exposition carefully, and it was impossible to see whether he was touched or not.

"What Mr. Zhou means is that you are responsible for Gaia, a poor child, and are willing to pay money to compensate me, and I, after getting this money, closed the case, without suffering losses, when this incident did not happen at all, that is, without consuming the country's legal resources, both parties got a desired result, right?"

I didn't understand it on the weekend, he had already explained it very clearly, why did the other party repeat it?

"Yes." He replied.

Erkov nodded: "I see what you mean. Just when he thought it was going to end the weekend, he said, "But I don't agree." ”

"Why?" Weekend asked: "We can discuss the matter of compensation, there is no need to go to court, and with Gaia's experience, even if it is in court, when the lawyer proposes an out-of-court settlement, the judge will not refuse." Even if Your Excellency insists on fighting the lawsuit, and you win the lawsuit, is there any difference from the result I just said? However, the final amount of compensation changed from our negotiation to the judge's decision. ”

"Yes." Erkov admitted the outcome: "Then it should be left to the court to decide." ”

"Mr. Zhou, didn't you hear my question clearly? You are responsible for Gaia, I found compensation for my losses, we both got good results, so, who is responsible for the law? Mr. Zhou, you are a policeman, so you should understand that the role of the police after the victim calls the police is to solve the case and arrest the suspect, and the role of the court is to decide whether the suspect is guilty or not, which is the meaning of the existence of the law, and it is protecting my rights and interests. ”

I listened to it for a long time over the weekend and didn't understand: "Is there any difference between what you said and what I said?" ”

"It's different, because the law is always a superfluous act, but this superfluous act must exist. Otherwise, the victim's family should take revenge with a gun instead of calling the police. ”

"Are you sick?"

I finally couldn't hold back the weekend, and I didn't even have the mood to debate with him about whether I should waste national resources for such a trivial matter, and finally responded: "You can do whatever you want." ”

This thing is too strange, the weekend has been planned to bear the owner's accusations and scolding, which is within the acceptable range, but I didn't expect to meet such a guy, he is polite, but it makes people look more and more awkward, like a steel bar that will not turn: "Roger, let's go." ”

Roger pushed Weekend out of the house, and when Weekend pulled out the phone outside to get Nick to pick them up, Roger said, "I reminded you." ”

Remembering what Roger had said, Weekend explained: "Don't be cranky, Erkov is not like us. ”

"I mean, like Lambert, he has an infuriating obsession in one area."

"He wasn't the one who made the mistake." Weekend correction Roger Road. (To be continued.) )
