Chapter 225: Night Flying Car [1]
A scream pierced the silence of the night in District 5, and the windows were constantly lit up to revive the silence of the night.
People walked out of their homes in their clothes and out into the streets, watching a girl lying in a pool of broken blood with slight convulsions, while her companion sat slumped as if stupid, without saying a word.
"What's wrong?"
Someone in the crowd couldn't stand the torture of curiosity at first, and asked.
The girl looked in the direction from which the voice came, and the stiff muscles on her face quickly changed, revealing a vivid sad expression, and she cried out, her body trembling, and she looked helplessly at the people around her.
Daddy Totty, who had arrived from a distance, pushed through the crowd and walked to the girl's side, draping his clothes over the girl's body. Even though it was summer, the strong sea breeze made the streets a little cold at midnight. He examined the girl's clothes and found no injuries, then glanced at the girl who was lying in a pool of blood and no longer convulsed, his brow furrowed.
In the dim light, he saw a bloody tire print.
Car accident!
Totti's father's mood became heavy, there was no doubt that the two girls had been in a car accident on the way home, and what was even more worrying was that the other had run away. In fact, even if the other party doesn't run, they can't do anything to each other, after all, the people who can drive the car will not be ordinary people, and naturally they will not have an ordinary background. He sighed, the best solution for this kind of thing is to find the other party and ask the other party to pay a sum of money and compensate him somewhat. As for wanting the other party to be punished more severely...... Difficult!
In fact, there are already relevant provisions on the punishment of driving a vehicle to cause a car accident in the imperial law, but sometimes some things are said and done differently. According to the provisions of imperial law, if there is a car accident and there is a fatality, the owner of the car must pay a sum of money and accept a minimum of three years in prison as a punishment. The problem is that very few car accident owners actually go to jail, because most of the families of the deceased end up withdrawing their lawsuits when faced with a pile of money they can't refuse.
Totti patted the girl on the shoulder and stood up, he looked at the crowd of onlookers, his gaze swept over their faces one by one, "Did anyone see that bastard driving?"
No one spoke, and although people sympathized with the girl who had lost her life, speaking at this time meant that she might have to testify in court in the future. If you go against a rich man, you either think your life is too good, or you think your life is too good.
The silence was closed until a child, who was only seven or eight years old, and whose eyes were full of a kind of innocence called innocence, "I see it, a blue roadster ......", and before he could finish his words, his parents who rushed out of the crowd covered their mouths and dragged them back into the crowd. Because an outsider can cause his family to be broken, no one is so great.
No, there is one.
Totti smiled at the little guy who was looking at him through the gap in the crowd, straightened his back, and said in a powerful voice, "I saw it, a blue roadster hit this kid and ran away from here." What else did I see? Can anyone remind me, old fellow, that my memory is not as good as it was when I was younger. Totti did touch some people with this method, and gradually someone added a little more detail, including the half-bottle of wine they picked up on the side of the road.
The 5th arrondissement is the largest living area in Illion, but there are only two police stations. People living in District 5 don't like to deal with the police very much, no matter what happens. They may have to go to court when something big happens, and the cost of hiring a lawyer is more than the family's budget can afford. There is no need to go to the police for small things, because the police can't handle those small things well.
But today, Totti must call the police, relying on the elders in the block or the more prestigious people in the fifth district, they can't handle this matter anymore.
The policeman on duty had just slept in a daze when he was awakened by a sharp knock on the door, he straightened up sharply, and pressed his hand on the weapon holster on his waist in a dazed manner, while observing the surrounding environment. After about three or five seconds, he rubbed his eyes and walked to the front hall of the police station to open the door, and asked impatiently, "Can't you be quiet for a while in the middle of the night?"
In the next second, a chill came out of his butt groove, rushing down his spine to the top of his head, his body trembled slightly, and goosebumps arose all over his body. He felt his hair stand on end, and his body became a little stiff. In front of him, in the dim moonlight, at least hundreds of people crowded outside the police station. They were very quiet, and no one made a sound, just stood and looked straight at him.
Just as he was about to close the door and call for backup, Totti, who was standing first, took a step forward, "Mr. Policeman, we have to report the crime, just now a blue roadster car hit and killed a child in the community, and he also left a bottle of wine and some debris from the car. ”
Mr. Policeman snatched the half-bottle of wine from Totti's hand in shock, and the expression on his face changed slightly, and immediately invited Totti in, "I think I need to contact the district police department!", he said to Mr. Totti.
The name of the wine label on the bottle is called "Slut", it is a very strong wine, the price of a bottle is about forty-five to fifty yuan, this kind of wine often only needs one glass, which is enough to make most women confused and excited, hence such a name. Although the name is not good, there is no denying that this is definitely one of the top wines, from Juan's winery. It doesn't mean that the perpetrator has to be Juan or someone related to Juan, but the bottle of wine shows that the perpetrator is very rich.
In the city of Ilian, all the troubles associated with the rich are big troubles.
The Illian Regional Police Department was soon dispatched to investigate the crash and the sports car and driver who triggered it, which was not a difficult case to solve, as there were only a handful of wealthy people in the entire city of Illian who owned blue roadsters, and they soon targeted the well-known Illian real estate developers, Flears and Sons. Last year, the elder Flördes bought a blue roadster for his birthday, and now the car is parked in the repair shop, with the front almost completely ruined and a large chunk of the bumper missing.
Little Flears was sleeping on the couch in the mechanic's office, and as soon as he entered the office, he could smell a strong smell of alcohol. One of the captains of the police station withdrew with a frown, this was not the best time to arrest and interrogate little Flears, so they informed old Flax.
Old Fleur is only fifty years old this year, probably because he was too ruthless when he was young, in this society where every family has three or five children, he only has one child, Little Flares, when he knew that his child hit and killed a pedestrian, he didn't show much worry, "Is my son hurt?", he paused for a moment, the expression on his face soothed a lot, "It's getting late today, ask the family of the child who was still running on the road that night, how much money they want." If it's too much, let them go to court to sue me and my children, and if it's less, you can pay in advance, and I'll arrange for someone to send it over in two days. ”
With that, old Fleur hung up. As soon as he turned around, he saw his wife standing outside the door in a nightgown, with a worried expression, old Flears smiled and shook his head, "My son is safe and not injured, don't worry, I'll take care of it." ”
The old woman breathed a sigh of relief, and returned to the luxurious bedroom with old Flax, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
The policemen relayed old Folles' words directly to Totti, who stood up in anger for a moment, but soon sat back in a decadent manner. As the police said, he could have sued Flears and his son, but he and the deceased's family had no money. If you want to win in court, you have to hire a reliable lawyer. In Illion, a lawyer with a decent winning rate starts at 5,000 yuan, and they can't afford to pay it.
In fact, this is the same as many car accidents, people are dead, it is better to ask for more money to improve the living environment of the living, which can be regarded as their last little contribution.
When Totti brought the news back, the deceased's mother fainted and her husband lost all reaction as if he were demented.
They compromised.
There is no way not to compromise, they can't fight the Fleurs father and son, and any other resistance except resignation is meaningless.
But what they don't think about is that sometimes there is no point in resigning to fate.
Previously, a neighbor's husband died on the job, and the factory owner compensated 6,000 yuan, and received 4,500 yuan. They also put forward a request according to this standard, 5,000 yuan, no more than one point, and no less point. After all, it is a human life, and it is already very despicable to measure it in terms of money, so they hope that even if their daughter dies, the price will not be too "cheap".
What's even more infuriating is that the Fleurs don't plan to pay 5,000 yuan, they are only willing to pay 2,000 yuan.
In the words of little Fleur, it is, "Your daughter caused my favorite car to be like this, and it costs three thousand dollars to repair it once, and you still want five thousand dollars?"
"It's only two thousand yuan, if you want it, take it, or if you don't want it, you can do it!"
"Father and Son Flears aren't for the kind of people you to blackmail, understand?"
