1168 Eavesdropping
The police hesitated for a moment, but they still sent people to follow Hu Jing and Hu Lei. Once the situation turns, they would immediately arrest Hu Lei and bring him to justice.
He brought Jiang Yu and the rest to the lounge and said: “Alright, is there any evidence to prove that Hu Wei didn’t say those words?”
Jiang Yu took out something similar to a speaker from her bag. However, it was a pocket-sized version and it was just right for her palm. She turned on the small speaker, and Hu Wei’s voice came from it: “You prodigal, how could you fall into Jiang Yu’s trap? Do you know that she already asked you about what happened back then when you were drunk? And they even recorded it!”
“She lied to me first, saying that she was treating me to a meal. After I went there, she kept forcing me to drink!” Hu Lei said unhappily. “I didn’t know what she was planning. If I had known, I wouldn’t have gone in the first place!”
Hu Wei was flustered and exasperated, “I’ve told you a long time ago. Just pretend that what happened back then never happened. And you, you haven’t even forgotten about it after more than ten years, have you? I really didn’t realize that you had such a good memory!”
“How would I dare to forget about that?” Hu Lei tried to defend himself. “Even if I was young and arrogant back then, now that I’m grown up, I know that I’ll be put in jail if someone finds out about that! How can I forget? Even if you’re going to help me out in the police station, you can’t help me for the rest of my life!”
“You bastard! How much money did I spend on that stupid thing you did back then? How many favors I had to owe? In the end, Jiang Yu managed to dig out everything with a drink!” The more Hu Wei thought about it, the angrier he got. He really didn’t know how he could raise such a useless son.
Hu Lei was also very unhappy after being scolded like that. He said: “If you have the time to scold me, why don’t you think about how to solve this matter? You don’t want me to be sentenced, do you? It’s not good for your reputation.”
“You’re the one who caused this trouble, and you still need me to help you solve it?” Hu Wei was very angry, but he still had to help Hu Lei solve the problem.
“Remember, when the police question you later, just clench your teeth and say that nothing happened. Leave the rest to me, and I’ll help you solve it.”
“Dad, we’re in Shanghai, not Yangcheng. Are you sure you can help me?” Hu Lei was a little worried.
If it was in Yangcheng, Hu Lei would definitely believe that Hu Wei would help him solve this problem without a second thought. But now in Shanghai, he was not sure if Hu Wei could have a good relationship with the police here.
Hu Wei said impatiently: “You don’t have to worry about this. If I say I can handle it, then I can. Do you think I’m as useless as you?”
Hu Lei kept quiet and didn’t dare to speak, but during the interrogation, he still did as Hu Wei said.
No matter what the police interrogated him about, he said that nothing had happened. As for the recording pen that Jiang Yu handed in, Hu Lei said: “I was drunk at that time and I didn’t even know what Jiang Yu was asking! I just saw the same news on the internet a few days ago. I thought Jiang Yu was asking me about that news. Besides, how can you believe the words of a drunk person?”
He kept saying these words, and the police couldn’t get anything more out of him, so they let him go.
After listening to the words from the speaker, the police officer’s expression began to turn ugly. He first asked the people who followed Hu Lei to bring him back, then he looked at Jiang Yu. “Miss Jiang Yu, can you explain what this is? If it’s a tapping device, it can’t be used as evidence unless you have permission. Otherwise, not only will it not be used as evidence, but you may also be sent to prison for illegal tapping.”
Jiang Yu handed the first document to the police and said: “I’ve already obtained permission. Here are all the procedures I’ve completed yesterday. You can take a look, so I’m legally collecting evidence.”
The police officer opened the folder and briefly read through the contents. Then, he put away the small speaker and said: “Alright. Thank you very much for the evidence you provided, Miss Jiang Yu.”
“You’re welcome.” Jiang Yu shook her head and pushed aunty Shen forward, saying: “This is the victim’s mother from that case. When the trial begins, she can be there as a witness.”
