Chapter 26: Infuriating Perseverance
After a whole morning, I got a call from the police officer who was checking the surveillance. The content of the call was very simple. Gaia found him and he was boarding at the other party's home with a child from a wandering area, but he had not come out until now. After hearing this call, the weekend began to get busy again. At this moment, Pablo was busy dealing with the Siberian company and the full arrest of Doco. He pulled the hardworking full-time driver Nick to drive to the wandering area. Behind the car, Roger and Jisty were still sitting.
Of course, before taking Gaia back, he had to solve one problem on the weekend. One problem he always thought was not involved in at all, that is, the owner of the car whose window was smashed by Gaia should not continue to be entangled. In other words, it would be a waste of money.
"Nick, can you please help me get Gaia back?"
In the car, he said this to Nick on the weekend. Now Nick is unlikely to refuse the weekend. After entering the interrogation yesterday, he followed the weekend and followed the man's words: "No problem. If you encounter any problems in negotiations, please contact me at any time."
Weekend responded with a smile: "It shouldn't be."
Nick's gray Buick SV was parked outside the door of a house in the wandering area. The house was a bit quaint. The two palm trees in front of the door stood on the left and right sides like a pair of stone lions. On the weekend, Roger took Roger and Jisty out of the car in front of such an environment. Then, Roger pushed his wheelchair and rang the doorbell of the family.
Dingdong.
After the doorbell sounded into the room, the footsteps sounded, accompanied by a question: "Who is there?"
"Mr. Erkov?"
Crunch.
The door opened, and a man in a blue shirt and black trousers appeared inside the door. His body hair was very long. The arms exposed by the half-sleeved shirt could clearly see the forearms covered with sweat hair; he was a little older, and although his hair was still dense, it was mostly white.
"Are you?" He wrinkled without any problem.
"Hello. Mr. Erkov, I apologize for your car. My name is weekend."
The man lowered his head and glanced at the wheelchair under the weekend's butt and said, "You smashed my car window and removed my speaker?"
"No, you misunderstood, of course it's not me." The weekend explained: "It's a kid, Gaia."
He suddenly didn't know how to explain this relationship, so he could only say in the simplest way: "My sister and I are friends, and his sister is currently receiving treatment in the hospital and cannot leave, so I'll apologize."
"Come in."
Erkov turned around and walked towards the room. Roger pushed into the room on the weekend. He lowered his body and said gently in his ear on the weekend: "I smell Lambert in this house."
On the weekend, he looked up strangely and looked behind him: "What does that mean?"
Roger shook his head: "I can't explain it clearly, either."
Erkov politely made a cup of coffee for the weekend, then took a bottle of Coke for Roger and Jisty, and said embarrassedly: "There is only this at home. I, an old man who lives alone, is so lazy."
It seems that Erkov is a very easy-to-talk person. He actually started to talk to the weekend in this situation: "Mr. Zhou, what industry are you in?"
"Police." There was no hiding at all on the weekend, nor was there any need to hide it.
"Oh." Erkov nodded and said nothing.
"Then what do you think should be handled?"
After hearing this question, he said on the weekend: "First of all, I'm sorry. Mr. Erkov, the responsibility for this incident is on Gaia. I've watched that surveillance video. At that time, your car was parked on the side of the road, and the people were not in the car. It was these children who broke the glass and stole the audio."
"But, Mr. Erkov, I would like to ask you to listen to the story of this matter first..." The whole matter was explained clearly without any ignorance on the weekend, but only emphasized two points: First, Gaia did not run away from home by herself; second, Gaia, who was kidnapped, was most likely to have no choice but to choose this path when she was so hungry that she had no choice.
"Can I compensate you for all your losses? Please go to the police station to cancel the case. Gaia is only eleven years old. He shouldn't have entered the police station for interrogation, and then the guardian will accompany him to the court."
After seeing his earnest attitude, Erkov carefully thought about the weekend's explanation, making it impossible to see if he was touched.
"Mr. Zhou means that you are responsible for Gaia's poor child and are willing to pay me aside money. When I get this money and I will cancel the case without suffering any losses, when this incident has not happened at all, that is, it does not consume the country's legal resources, both parties have obtained a hopeful result, right?"
I didn't understand it on the weekend, and he had already explained it clearly, why did the other party repeat it?
"Yes." He replied.
Erkov nodded: "I understand what you mean." Just when he thought the matter was about to end successfully on the weekend, he said: "But I don't agree."
"Why?" asked the weekend: "We can discuss compensation matters, and there is no need to go to court. Besides, with Gaia's experience, even if he goes to court and the lawyer proposes an out-of-court settlement, the judge will not refuse. Even if you insist on suing the lawsuit, you won the lawsuit again. What is the difference between the result I just said? However, the final compensation amount changed from our discussion to the judge's ruling."
"Yes." Erkov admitted the ending: "then it should be handed over to the court."
"Mr. Zhou, have you not heard my question clearly? You are responsible for Gaia, I found compensation for my losses, and we all got good results. So, who will be responsible for the law? Mr. Zhou, you are a policeman, you should understand more about the role of the police after the victim calls the police is to solve the case and catch the suspects. The role of the court is to determine whether the suspect is guilty. This is the meaning of the law. It is protecting my rights and interests."
I couldn't understand after listening to it for a long time on the weekend: "Is there any difference between what you said and what I said?"
"It's different, because the law has always been an unnecessary move, but this unnecessary move must exist. Otherwise, the victim's family should avenge their own revenge with a gun instead of calling the police."
"Are you sick?"
I finally couldn't hold it in my arms on the weekend, and I didn't even feel like debating with him whether he should waste national resources for such trivial matters. I cursed in my heart, and finally responded: "You can do whatever you want."
This is so strange. I have already planned to bear the accusations and scoldings of the car owner on the weekend. This is within the scope of acceptance. But I didn't expect to meet such a guy. He was polite, but it just made people feel awkward as the more I looked at it, like a steel bar that couldn't turn: "Roger, let's go."
Roger pushed out of the house on weekends and took out the phone outside the house on weekends to ask Nick to pick them up. Roger said, "I reminded you."
I remembered what Roger said over the weekend and explained: "Don't think about it all, Erkov is different from us."
"I mean he, like Lambert, has an infuriating persistence in a certain field."
