Chapter 1191 Stunned
When the police saw the scarred man trying to escape, they immediately assumed he had committed some serious crime.
As soon as He Xu tripped the scarred man, several policemen swarmed over and pinned him to the ground.
"Be honest!"
"do not move!"
The scarred man's hands were tied behind his back, rendering him unable to move.
His lower back was in excruciating pain from the pressure, and he couldn't help but let out a miserable howl.
When the woman saw her husband being arrested by the police, she turned pale with fright, her legs went weak, and she almost collapsed to the ground again.
Su Xing reached out and grabbed the woman's arm, firmly supporting her. "Stand still, the ground is cold. If you get sick, you'll be the one who suffers."
Upon hearing this, the woman immediately stood up straight.
At this point, the scarred man had already been pulled up from the ground by the police.
However, when he was tripped by He Xu, he landed face down and his nose bled, which looked somewhat comical.
A few muffled laughs came from nearby.
A younger policeman pulled a pack of tissues from his pocket, frowned, and wiped his face haphazardly.
A middle-aged policeman asked the shop owner, "What exactly happened?"
The shop owner stepped forward and said, "Officer, it's like this..."
She recounted the events as concisely as possible.
The police officers were taken aback when they heard that it was just a civil dispute.
I thought it was some major case...
The policeman holding the scarred man frowned and said, "Then why are you running?!"
Scarface: "..."
He didn't know how to answer.
Su Xing then interjected quietly, "He has a long history of domestic violence against his wife, which is why he's afraid of the police."
The young policeman glared at the scarred man and sneered, "You've been beating your wife for a long time? You're quite 'capable,' aren't you?"
The scarred man muttered a weak defense, "It's just a little squabble between husband and wife. Every couple has their disagreements..."
Su Xing reached out and gently pushed his wife, then said, "Officer, look at this lady's face. He beat her like this, which could easily cause a perforated eardrum. And if he dares to beat his wife like this outside, he probably beats her even more severely at home, right?"
The police officers all looked at the woman's face and saw that one side of her face was swollen quite a bit, indicating that a lot of force had been used.
The woman was already feeling very wronged, and upon hearing Su Xing's words, her tears immediately began to fall again.
The young policeman glared at the scarred man. "You've been beaten like this, and you're still trying to deny it?!"
Scarface: "..."
He glared at Su Xing, who was being nosy.
Su Xing looked at him with a half-smile, then pinched his knuckles.
The scarred man suddenly remembered the pain he felt when she pinched his wrist before, the pain that felt like his bones were about to shatter!
He quickly looked away, not daring to meet Su Xing's gaze again.
The middle-aged policeman frowned and said, "You'll all be coming with us to the police station in a bit! By the way, do you have security cameras in your shop?"
The last sentence was addressed to the shop owner.
The shop owner quickly nodded and said, "Yes, yes."
"Show us the surveillance footage first."
Surveillance footage provides a clear overview of what happened.
In fact, after understanding the situation, the police usually criticize and educate the party at fault in such civil disputes, and then mediate between the two parties. The party at fault is required to compensate for the cost of the damaged items, and if other losses are caused to the store, they are also compensated.
If the troublemakers cause serious disturbances and affect public order, they may be subject to administrative detention for a few days.
As for domestic violence cases between spouses, they need to be handled in light of the consequences they cause.
If the domestic violence is egregious and constitutes the crime of abuse, but does not result in serious injury or death to the victim, this is considered a private prosecution offense, which usually requires the victim to file a complaint before the case can be processed.
However, when abuse results in serious injury or death to the victim, it will be converted into a public prosecution case. The public security organs will take the initiative to investigate and prosecute without the victim having to file a complaint.
If the scarred man slapped his wife this time, and if his teeth hadn't fallen out, and in the past there was no evidence left when women were assaulted, the police wouldn't have directly detained the scarred man. They would have mainly focused on criticism, education, and mediation, and might have even issued a warning letter.
The shop owner said, "Then let's go, please come inside."
The group then entered the pet store.
Those were just passersby who stopped to watch the commotion for a while, and most of them left after seeing what happened.
Some, driven by curiosity, ran to the entrance of the pet store to peer inside.
Su Xing, He Xu, and the Su family elders also entered the store.
A policeman asked them, "Who are you?"
He Xu said, "We are customers of this pet store, and we came to pick up the goods we ordered, and we just happened to encounter this incident."
Grandpa Su said, "Yes, yes, we haven't picked up the things we bought yet."
The shop owner quickly said, "I'm sorry, I'll have someone bring the items to you right away."
Then she turned to a shop assistant and asked, "How's the packing of the customer's order going?"
The shop assistant said, "Coming right away, coming right away!"
They were so engrossed in watching the spectacle and being wary of the couple's madness that they neglected their work.
Grandma Su said, "No rush, no rush."
After instructing his employees, the shop owner quickly contacted the police to retrieve the surveillance footage.
After reviewing the surveillance footage, the police were speechless; this couple was truly bizarre!
I initially felt sorry for the woman who was being abused, but it turns out she's an unreasonable person too!
At this moment, the woman dared not say another word; she simply kept her head down and silently shed tears.
The middle-aged policeman said, "Let's go, come with us to the police station first."
Criticism and education should be provided where necessary, and compensation should be paid where appropriate; everything should be done according to procedure.
The shop assistant had already packed everything Grandpa Su had ordered and handed over a large bag, saying, "Please check if anything is missing or incomplete."
Grandpa Su looked at the list and then at the contents of the bag. "Nothing is missing, just right."
Su Xing, He Xu, and the elderly couple from the Su family decided not to go to the police station.
They just happened to come across this, watched the spectacle, and didn't really get involved.
The store has CCTV footage; it's all obvious. There's no need for them to go and testify.
Before leaving, Su Xing pulled the woman who was crying and whispered, "Remember to ask the police for a police report receipt. If both of you accept the police's mediation, you have to ask your husband to promise in front of the police that he will not abuse you again. If he is not satisfied, and the police determine that he poses a further risk, they will issue a warning letter in accordance with the Anti-Domestic Violence Law, explicitly prohibiting him from committing domestic violence again, and will notify community and other grassroots organizations to supervise its implementation."
She felt that whether the couple divorced for the time being or not, they would definitely accept police mediation and go back to their lives.
But people with a history of domestic violence find it hard to truly stop, and this woman will likely suffer a lot in the future.
The woman was stunned. She strained her red, swollen, tearful eyes and stared blankly at Su Xing.
Su Xing could tell from the woman's expression that she hadn't understood.
Su Xing felt somewhat helpless. After thinking for a moment, she said, "You'd better apply for a medical examination. Every time he hits you in the future, remember to call the police, get a police report receipt, and get a medical examination! Remember what I said!"
Police may only take an abuser back to the station for further processing if the abuser has a history of domestic violence.
If a woman can no longer tolerate the situation and wants a divorce, these police reports and medical examination results can play a crucial role in filing for divorce.
