"No, we were just following orders. We really didn't mean it!"
"Boss, you're so magnanimous. Please spare us, okay?"
...
The police station hadn't opened yet, and the three men hadn't been taken in. So they started wailing right there.
When Yuan Tiantian heard them say they were following orders, she was startled, but she didn't show it on her face. After thinking for a while, she decided to leave it to the police.
It was necessary to teach them a lesson in such a situation.
Otherwise, what if someone thought she was easy to plead with and took a chance to cause trouble again in the future?
So, no matter how much the three men wailed, Yuan Tiantian was determined to bring them to justice.
As for the so - called person behind them, Yuan Tiantian thought the policemen would surely find out everything for her!
The policemen who came to work at the police station that morning were also stunned to see this scene outside.
Then they heard Yuan Tiantian say she wanted to report a case. Since it was a case report, they naturally had to invite her in.
Because of the special situation of Sheng Jing and the others, after the three men were taken over by the police, they were quickly sent back.
"Don't worry. I'll go back as soon as this is over."
"Don't slack off when I'm not at the store, especially you, Wu Ming!"
I joked, and Wu Ming gave me an angry look, daring not to say a word.
Finally, they all left. Seeing them go and no one from the police stopping them, Yuan Tiantian felt a slight sense of relief.
She was really afraid that someone would stop them just now. If that happened, the fact that the three men had no identity information would be exposed. Fortunately, it didn't happen.
After entering the police station, someone began to take Yuan Tiantian's statement.
Unexpectedly, a little episode happened at this time.
"Are you sure you're not mistaken? It's just some vegetables. No one would come to steal them in the middle of the night. Maybe you're wrong?"
"They were just passing by the back mountain."
A middle - aged man's voice came from behind. Yuan Tiantian turned around and saw a man in his fifties. He was tall and strong, looking rather intimidating and hard to deal with.
However, his words set off alarm bells in Yuan Tiantian's heart.
The implications were too obvious.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, the three captured men immediately nodded vigorously.
"Yes, yes. We just got lost and were passing by!"
Hehe. As expected, after hearing the man's words, the three men started to make wild excuses. Yuan Tiantian snorted coldly in her heart.
She had important evidence, but at this moment, she didn't plan to show it directly. Instead, she pretended to be angry.
"Nonsense! If you were just passing by, why were you carrying sacks?"
"And why did you steal things from my back - mountain vegetable garden?"
Hearing Yuan Tiantian's questions, the leading man, who was a bit clever, immediately started to play the victim.
"We really were just passing by. We brought these sacks back from work during the day and were going to use them to carry things at home!"
Yuan Tiantian snorted coldly in her heart after hearing this.
"Oh, really? Passing by in the middle of the night?"
"And you just happened to get lost in my back - mountain vegetable garden and picked some vegetables by the way. Why is that?"
Yuan Tiantian pressed on with her questions, but the leading man seemed to have found a loophole and started spouting nonsense.
"We worked overtime during the day and came back late, so we got lost."
"Then we just unfortunately ended up on your back mountain. We're really sorry for picking the things. We didn't mean it. We were just hungry and wanted something to eat."
After saying that, the three men started wailing to the policemen again, talking about how hard their lives were.
The middle - aged man who had said the suggestive words then stepped forward to smooth things over.
"Hey, it seems like it might just be a misunderstanding. Miss Yuan, how about just letting this go?"
"We'll give them a good scolding later and tell them not to pick other people's things randomly in the future."
"There's no need to make a big deal out of this."
Hearing what the man said, Yuan Tiantian was furious. She was even angrier than when she caught the thieves.
She strongly resisted the urge to spit at him.
Then, without responding to the middle - aged man, she just coldly stared at the three thieves.
"Do you think I don't have any evidence?"
After she said this, both the three thieves and the middle - aged man who came to help them had the same thought.
It was true that there wasn't much evidence on the back mountain at night, except for the three sacks filled with some vegetables.
However, in this situation, as long as they insisted that it was an accident and not intentional, nothing serious would happen in the end.
This was exactly what they were counting on.
Seeing that the three men didn't say a word, Yuan Tiantian sneered in her heart, but on her face, she started acting, looking very surprised.
"Didn't you just say that you were following orders?"
"Why are you saying now that you just got lost and didn't do it on purpose?"
Yuan Tiantian said, looking at the recording policeman very helplessly, and then said uncertainly,
"I don't know what to believe anymore."
Hearing Yuan Tiantian's words, the three thieves secretly glanced at the middle - aged man. The man slightly shook his head at them, and the three men immediately started shaking their heads frantically to deny it.
"No, we never said that!"
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Hearing their excuses, Yuan Tiantian sneered in her heart. She had given them a chance, but they were still stubborn.
"So, this matter..."
The middle - aged man wanted to come forward to smooth things over again. Yuan Tiantian saw that the recording policeman didn't dare to refute the man's actions. She knew in her heart that the middle - aged man had some status in this police station.
But so what?
Everything was based on evidence.
"Hey, since that's the case..."
Yuan Tiantian didn't finish her sentence and then paused for a while. When her eyes swept over each of them and she saw them all relax a little, she made a big turn.
"Then I'll show the evidence."
After saying this, Yuan Tiantian took out her phone. She had already copied the surveillance evidence from the system to her phone.
Everyone was stunned by Yuan Tiantian's sudden turn. The recording policeman was also a bit dazed when Yuan Tiantian handed over her phone.
"Take a look. The whole process of them coming to my back - mountain vegetable garden is recorded, including what they said."
After all, it was a high - tech product from the system plane. The surveillance video was extremely clear, and the conversations were very distinct. One could clearly see and hear everything.
When the recording policeman took the phone and started to play it, the large space became completely silent.
Especially when the three men said those words, it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
"I wonder if this evidence is useful?"
"Can it prove their theft?"
After the surveillance video was finished playing, Yuan Tiantian immediately looked at the middle - aged man, her expression calm and her eyes emotionless.
After a while, the man said,
"Yes."
