Chapter 53: A Robbery?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Those policemen weren’t dumb, and they realized that it couldn’t be a simple robbery.
They decided to put it aside for a while. A policeman noticed the steel bar on the ground. “Is this the lethal weapon you just used?”
“You can’t say something like that.” Feng Jun was displeased. “I defended myself, which is legal, and it isn’t a lethal weapon.”
The policeman waved his hand impatiently. “It’s not up to you.”
“They have more than one knife!” Feng Jun pointed at Hong and raised his voice. “They had knives. Do you expect me to fight against them with my chest?”
The two knives Hong and his people took with them were in the policemen’s hands right now. They wanted to throw them away, but they didn’t have time for it.
Both knives had a sharp edge, and there were blood grooves, which were definitely lethal weapons.
Anyway, it could be put aside for the time being too. Another policeman asked Feng Jun again, “Where did you get this lethal wea—steel bar?”
“I picked it up from the ground,” said Feng Jun.
He pointed to the ground and added, “There was a steel bar when I walked into this alley.”
“Ridiculous, if there had been a steel bar, those bums would have picked it up and taken it away for money,” said a policeman.
Feng Jun insisted, “I don’t know. You should ask those bums.”
At this moment, the policemen realized that there wasn’t a good man on either side.
Feng Jun could refuse to admit that the steel bar was his, but he couldn’t do the same thing to the taser, so he said, “Yeah, I carry a taser with me to protect myself. After all, I do have dozens of thousand yuan with me.
“Is it illegal? I don’t know that. I only know that carrying knives is illegal, but is it illegal to carry a taser?
“Where did I buy it? Oh, I bought it from a street stand, but I don’t remember where it is right now.”
No matter how the policemen questioned Feng Jun, Feng Jun avoided the important points and dwelt on the trivial. It seemed that he didn’t take the police seriously at all.
Right at this time, an ambulance drove over, and Hong gave Rooster a glance.
Rooster shouted at once, “I have something to say. This man has personal grudges against my friend who’s unconscious now. We simply wanted to give him a warning, but he violently attacked us.”
The policemen nodded. It was what they wanted to hear. If there was no grudge, they wouldn’t have had such a violent fight.
“What grudges?” an older policeman asked with a calm face.
Rooster then told them Liu Shuming’s grudges against Feng Jun.
In his story, Liu Shuming wasn’t a bad man. He said that Feng Jun and Liu Shuming used to be colleagues, and they didn’t get along at work. Liu Shuming saw Feng Jun today at the street and wanted to give Feng Jun a warning, but unexpectedly, Feng Jun was violent and injured many people.
If it was a problem with personal grudges, they wouldn’t be punished as robbers.
Most importantly, Rooster added, “He used to work in Hongjie, a fitness club. We didn’t know that he could have so much money.”
A policeman gave Feng Jun a glance. “Where did you get your money?”
Feng Jun stayed calm. “Are you from the police station or the tax department?”
The policeman sneered and said, “Great, I’ll call the staff of the tax department.”
Another policeman stopped him at once and said to Feng Jun, “I think you better tell us where you got the money in case you get involved in big trouble. When we catch drug dealers, we always see them making deals with a large amount ofcash.”
Feng Jun shook his head. “Sorry, I can’t tell you.”
The policemen didn’t know what to say now.
The crime of owning huge amounts of money of unknown origin wasn’t something they should deal with. They weren’t even qualified to investigate tax evasion.
The only possible way they could use was to accuse the suspect of a certain crime like “suspected of drug trafficking”, “suspected of gambling”, or “suspected of women and children trafficking” so that they could force the suspect to confess the sources of the money.
Because none of them was willing to tell the truth, they were taken back to the police station for further investigation.
As for the woven bag, which was the cause of the violent fight, no policeman paid much attention to it.
A young policeman hesitated to bring it back to their police station.
At this time, a hoodlum walked ahead and gave a glance inside, then walked backward silently.
“What, are you interested in it?” asked the policeman.
“I thought there was just cash in it,” sneered the hoodlum. “It turns out there are only stones inside, but it’s understandable. He’s only an unimportant attendant, and he can only play with woven bags.”
The policeman then made up his mind and left the bag on the ground.
He didn’t know that his decision helped many people relax.
When they were in the police car, Hong pushed a man away and went straight to sit next to Feng Jun. He said in a low voice, “Hey, don’t make the situation worse. We can be friends with each other after this fight.”
Feng Jun said with an expressionless face, “I don’t need a friend like you.”
Hong was struck dumb for a second. He then put on a cruel smile. “Are you refusing to help me save face?”
“Why should I? Do you have a very important face?” Feng Jun sneered. He didn’t hesitate to question him. “You caused me great trouble today, so you should give me an explanation.”
“An explanation? Impossible.” Hong shook his head. He then stared at Feng Jun and laughed out loud. He didn’t care that he was sitting with policemen right now. “I do things at will. It’s not a big deal.”
Feng Jun then ignored him and gazed at the sky. All the explosives were moved into the wilderness by him, so he didn’t need to be worried.
Although it cost him five energy points this time, he didn’t regret doing that at all.
He couldn’t hide the taser because he already caused damage with it.
When they arrived at the police station, the policemen went to do their own work, and nobody cared about them.
Feng Jun called Wang Haifeng and told him what he had been through. He didn’t want to turn to Wang Haifeng for help, but he implied that he encountered trouble when he went to get the explosives.
To his surprise, Zhang Wei and Wang Haifeng came together later.
Obviously, Zhang Wei already learned that Feng Jun encountered that trouble because of him, so he gave Feng Jun an apologetic glance once he saw him.
Wang Haifeng said, “Don’t you have the right to self-defense?”
He said that on purpose, and the policemen knew that he was a man of some influence. “Is it also self-defense that he secretly kept a taser?”
Wang Haifeng walked to Feng Jun and asked loudly, “What else do you have in addition to a taser?”
“Nothing else. Actually, I didn’t know that owning a taser is illegal,” said Feng Jun.
Wang Haifeng said, “It’s not a big deal.”
A policewoman couldn’t stand it. “He could be kept for five days and be fined.”
“Ridiculous. It could be a robbery, and he’s innocent,” said Wang Haifeng.
The policewoman snorted and said nothing further about it.
Compared with Wang Haifeng, Zhang Wei kept his voice down and pulled Feng Jun aside. “Is everything alright?”
“Of course.” Feng Jun was amused and smiled airily.
Hearing that, Zhang Wei was relieved. He was really worried that Feng Jun might be caught having explosives. After all, he was the middle-man.
Before he came here, he contacted his friend and learned that the group of men who had the fight with Feng Jun also had a mine.
They needed explosives every year and always purchased them from the black market.
Exactly because of that, it took a long time for Zhang Wei to help Feng Jun get some explosives. His friend didn’t deal with the industry very often and didn’t know there was a shortage of explosives now.
Hong was mad when they were short of supply, so he decided to teach the man who stole their explosives an unforgettable lesson, which was the cause of the stalking and the fight.
Coincidentally, Rooster and Liu Shuming were in their group, and it caused a violent fight later.
Zhang Wei didn’t know all the details, but he clearly knew that it was the conflict between Hong and the provider. Feng Jun was involved in it by accident, and he had bad luck.
Because both sides weren’t cooperative, the police didn’t take the violent fight seriously.
Before long, a policeman recognized Hong and pointed out that he was the notorious Liu Hong.
After recognizing Liu Hong, the police didn’t rush to settle this problem. Someone even gave Feng Jun a hint that Liu Hong wasn’t a man he could mess with, so he better be honest with the police so that they could put Liu Hong in jail.
