Chapter 236 If It’s Not Blackmail, Then What Is It?
Officer Liu had no doubt about the truthfulness of Ye Ke's words, because what Ye Ke said was almost exactly the same as what Liu Yiyi said when she reported the case, except that some content was missing, which was consistent with Ye Ke's statement that he only heard a little when passing by.
And...looking at Fang Jiabao's sudden change of expression, Officer Liu believed it even more.
Fang Jiabao didn't take it seriously at first, but as Ye Ke talked more and more, he could no longer remain calm. He quickly lowered his head to avoid the police's sight and began to think of a solution.
He thought about it and felt that words were not enough. How could this girl's testimony guarantee that what she said was true? He could also say that she and Liu Yiyi had colluded with each other!
Yes! That's right! The two of them teamed up to fabricate rumors and slander him!
"I didn't blackmail them. They are in the same group! She gave false testimony!" Fang Jiabao said with every word he said after he thought he had found a solution.
Zheng Jiayi and Aunt Qi stood up angrily at the same time, intending to point fingers at Fang Jiabao.
Ye Ke blocked their outstretched hands with both hands, looked at Fang Jiabao, and sneered, "You said you didn't blackmail me?"
"Yes!" Fang Jiabao answered affirmatively.
"That's perfect, isn't it?" Ye Ke clapped his hands. "If I didn't blackmail you, just move out. Why are you pestering this little girl?"
"Me!" Fang Jiabao's face flushed red. He was so busy denying the charge of extortion that he forgot about this matter.
"I won't move! I just won't move. We've lived here for so long, why should we move just like that?" Seeing that the situation was not favorable to her side, Fang's mother quickly stood up and made a scene.
Liu Yiyi had a lot of thoughts in her mind, but she was too anxious to say them out loud. Ye Ke looked even more anxious and responded directly on her behalf.
"You're not moving? If it's not your house, why don't you move? What? Do you have to ask her to compensate you?"
When Fang's mother heard about compensation, her eyes immediately lit up, "Yes, compensation! We won't move without compensation!"
Fang's mother completely ignored Fang Jiabao's hands stretched out from behind her to stop her. Oh no! She's been tricked!
Ye Ke curled his lips into a smile, looked at the policeman, and said calmly: "Comrade policeman, did you see that? She asked for compensation from Comrade Liu Yiyi the same way that day. She said it was compensation, but this house is not hers, and Comrade Liu Yiyi also returned one month's rent. Now they are pushing it even further. What else can this be but extortion?"
Liu Yiyi nodded and said "hmm" at the side. What Ye Ke said was exactly what she thought.
She knew that if she just reported the family occupying the house and refusing to move out, it would be a minor dispute at best, and Fang Jiabao would be able to get it over with some arguing.
So she directly classified the case as extortion by the Fang family, and they were asking for a huge amount of demolition compensation. The amount was so huge that no one could close the case easily.
If the Fang family still wants to make a fuss about the money, then just arrest them and be done with it.
If the Fang family denies that they want the money, they have to take action to prove that they have no intention of blackmailing.
In fact, there are many loopholes in doing this, but it is enough to deal with the Fang family.
Sure enough, Fang Jiabao was still able to keep his composure, but Fang's mother and Xu Meifeng had already been stunned by the questioning. They looked at Fang Jiabao in panic.
Officer Liu shouted coldly, "Tell the truth! Are you using the excuse of demanding compensation to blackmail Liu Yiyi?"
Officer Liu actually didn't have a deep impression of Liu Yiyi, otherwise he would have recognized her when she came to the police station to report the case yesterday.
It was only when he arrived at this place today that he remembered that this was the house of Old Man Liu who had moved away long ago.
Old Master Liu was a seventh-level fitter back then, and that salary would have been a resounding success in the area. Even after he retired, his pension was still substantial. The Liu family was small back then, so this much money was more than enough to support both the grandparents and their grandchildren.
Grandpa Liu is kind and generous, especially to children. Almost all the children in these alleys have eaten the candies distributed by Grandpa Liu.
Officer Liu was naturally one of them. He was just a little older later on, so he felt embarrassed to come over and ask for candy.
Officer Liu remembered all these sweet tastes, and now he naturally and unconsciously favors Liu Yiyi.
Although he knew that his behavior was actually wrong, it was too subjective.
But the Fang family is so obvious that he can't help but be partial!
At this moment, Fang's mother and Xu Meifeng were completely defeated by Officer Liu's questioning. Especially Fang's mother, she even stood up and took the blame with a righteous attitude, "It's me! I did it all. Don't arrest my son!"
Her son is the hope of the whole family!
Fang's mother glanced at her indifferent daughter-in-law and pinched her.
Speak up! Come and take the blame!
The frightened Xu Meifeng was brought back to her senses by the pain of her twisting, and she quickly covered her arm: "Yes, yes, yes! It was all done by my mother-in-law, it has nothing to do with my husband!"
After realizing what she had said, Xu Meifeng looked at her mother-in-law's ugly face and hurriedly changed her words, saying, "No, no, I did it. Oh, no, it was me and my mother-in-law who did it. Anyway, it has nothing to do with my husband!"
Xu Meifeng was incoherent and didn't know what to say, but she still remembered to emphasize that this had nothing to do with Fang Jiabao.
Fang Jiabao, who was protected by the two, did not look touched, but rather helpless and frustrated.
He had known that his mother and his wife were not very smart, but he enjoyed being able to do whatever he told them to do, so he simply did not discipline them.
But now, Fang Jiabao regrets it.
How can you be so stupid?
As long as they keep refusing to admit their mistake, what can they do? Really... useless.
Officer Liu looked at the two men's uneasy expressions and decided to increase his strength. "So the situation now is that you plead guilty, right? Well, according to Article ..."
"No, police officer, it's all a misunderstanding." Fang Jiabao hurriedly stopped him. They all shared the same fate. He could ignore his wife, but if his mother really went to jail, it would have a huge impact on his career.
Fang Jiabao changed his arrogant attitude and said to Liu Yiyi with a smile and a calm tone, "It will take some time for us to move and find a house. Just like you said before, we will move out before next month."
"No!" Liu Yiyi refused forcefully. "I don't have that much patience. Who knows if you guys are going to use this excuse to drag things out again? You have to move out at the end of this month."
There are only a few days left in this month, and Liu Yiyi knows that it is actually a bit unreasonable for the Fang family to find a house and move out in such a short time.
But who told the Fang family not to behave like human beings before?
When she first suggested that they could move out at the end of next month, it was because she still had her initial impression of them as pitiful and honest people.
But now, this impression has turned into cunning and greedy. She must be stupid to put herself in such a difficult position.
