The soft white moonlight of the paranoid gangster at 80

Chapter 187 Stealing and Imprisonment
"not me!"

Seeing that all eyes were on him, Zhang Heng was so startled that he almost jumped up, and he hastily denied it.

"When I came up to the bathroom, I saw you come out of the master bedroom with my own eyes. It would have been less than nine o'clock."

Hearing the man's testimony, Zhang Heng hastily explained that he had indeed entered the master bedroom, "...I just looked through the glass for a while, and I didn't even touch the watch in the cabinet. I didn't take the watch, I swear !"

The police stared at him sharply, "Why didn't you tell me when I asked?"

"I... I'm afraid you'll think I took the watch."

"If you didn't steal the watch, why are you guilty?"

Zhang Heng was stopped by the rhetorical question, and could only repeat helplessly and in a panic, "I didn't take the watch, I really didn't take it..."

It was a happy party, but the atmosphere and interest were spoiled because of throwing things, and they were called up as suspects for investigation. One can imagine the mood of a group of rich second-generation and rich girls.

Now that Zhang Heng was accused, they suddenly seemed to have found a target to vent their anger on.

"I haven't been in the master bedroom anyway, have you?"

Everyone shook their heads in unison, "No, who would run into someone's bedroom without any problems, without any tutoring at all."

"Zhang Heng entered the master bedroom tonight. He must have stolen the watch. Just search him to see if he has it."

"I didn't take it. If you don't believe me, you can search..."

Zhang Heng put his hand into his pocket, trying to turn the pocket out to prove his innocence, but just as his left hand was put into the pocket of his coat, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

Seeing his reaction, the police stepped forward and took out the things in his pocket.

"what is this?"

The police questioned Zhang Heng holding a Patek Philippe men's watch with a red gold dial.

Zhang Heng's lips moved, his face was ashen, and his brain seemed to be down.

How could this be?
How could he have a watch on him?

What is going on?

Could it be that he drank too much and accidentally stole the watch and hid it on his body?

Until he was taken to the police station, Zhang Heng couldn't figure out what was going on, and he couldn't explain why the watch was on him, so he could only bite himself to death for not stealing the watch.

In the eyes of policemen with rich experience in handling cases, Zhang Heng is a typical dead duck with a hard mouth.

His fingerprints were on the glass cabinet, as were his fingerprints on the watch, and he was allegedly in and out of the master bedroom during the incident.

All the witnesses and material evidence, together with the police station's interview and investigation of the people around him, found that he was a scum with bad conduct and morals.

The charge of stealing the watch was so firmly placed on Zhang Heng's head.

Zhang Heng was detained in the detention center on the charge of theft, awaiting the court's sentencing.

A classic red gold Patek Philippe, worth more than [-] yuan, has a minimum sentence of three years. If you hire a good lawyer to defend, plus you have a good attitude to plead guilty, and you are a first-time offender, you may be sentenced to six months to one year.

But even if the sentence is only one day, Zhang Heng's life will be ruined.

The incident with the video tape had caused bad influence on the campus before, and now he has committed a criminal case.

The school directly expelled him from school.

Someone "kindly" told Zhang Heng in the detention center about his expulsion.

With his future ruined and his student status lost, Zhang Heng fell directly into despair and collapse due to the double blow.

At this moment, Zhao Xiaolan asked the lawyer to bring him a message.

"...Miss Zhao means that you have to find a way out first, and she will take you to the watch owner to intercede."

"Although theft is a public prosecution, your situation is different from ordinary burglary."

"You went to the party at the villa as a guest and friend that night, and you drank a lot of alcohol. You would act irrationally when you were drunk. As long as the owner of the watch forgives you and takes the initiative to contact the police station If it is clearly explained that it is only a misunderstanding, and the report is withdrawn, the police station will give a lighter punishment as appropriate, or even refuse to prosecute.”

The lawyer's words are undoubtedly a life-saving straw for Zhang Heng who is in a desperate situation.

He immediately asked the lawyer to send a message to Zhu Caifeng to find a way to release him on bail.

Zhu Caifeng was naturally ecstatic when she learned that her son was expected to be exempted from criminal punishment.

A large bond is required to be released on bail.

She is a single mother who can barely afford her son to go to college by doing several part-time jobs a day, and she has no money to pay the bail.

But Zhu Caifeng is also a good person. She thought that Zhao Xiaolan had a good relationship with her son, so as long as she knelt down and begged, Zhao Xiaolan would definitely help her son.

"...Miss Zhao, you know how my family Zhang Heng is. He will never do anything sneaky. He has been wronged. I beg you to help him. I will definitely repay you in the future... "

"Ms. Zhu, it's not that I don't want to help, it's that I'm really powerless. Some time ago I encountered something and spent 5000 yuan to settle it. Zhang Heng also knew about it. Everyone in my family scolded me to death, except They don’t give me a penny more for living expenses, and I can’t afford that much.”

Seeing that Zhao Xiaolan refused to borrow money, Zhu Caifeng cried and refused to leave, and even forced Zhao Xiaolan to borrow from a rich second-generation friend around her.

Zhao Xiaolan already hated Zhang Heng to the bone, but now that Zhu Caifeng was acting rascally again, she hated him even more, and decided to teach him a lesson.

Under the lead of Zhao Xiaolan, Zhu Caifeng used the only house in the family as collateral, borrowed a guarantee money from a private lending company, and released Zhang Heng from the detention center.

Zhao Xiaolan kept her word and took Zhang Heng to the owner of the watch to plead for mercy, but only to hear the news of a bolt from the blue.

The owner of the watch has traveled abroad and will not be back until the end of the year.

The saddest thing in the world is seeing hope in despair, thinking that you can grasp it, but the hope is ruthlessly shattered before your eyes.

"Sister Lan, please help me, please help me, I really didn't steal the watch, I don't want to go to jail..."

Seeing Zhang Heng kneeling on the ground and weeping bitterly, Zhao Xiaolan was overjoyed.

She shrugged helplessly, "As you can see, he is not in the country, and I can't contact him. You can only spend some money to hire a better lawyer to defend, and try to reduce the sentence by two years."

Zhao Xiaolan said it casually, but to Zhang Heng it was like a thunderbolt.

He is done!
-

Seeing that the trial date is approaching and her son is about to go to jail and become a prisoner, Zhu Caifeng is as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and can't even take care of work.

But Zhang Heng himself completely abandoned himself, hiding at home every day, lying dead, not going anywhere, not doing anything, just waiting for Zhu Caifeng to come back every day to feed him.

At this moment, a new crisis came quietly.

The money that Zhu Caifeng borrowed from the loan company was due.

Zhu Caifeng originally thought that as long as she released her son on bail and followed Zhao Xiaolan to the watch owner to intercede, his son would be fine soon, and the security deposit would be returned to her at that time, and she would use it to repay the loan company.

But people are not as good as heaven.

The owner of the watch has gone abroad, the case has not been dismissed, but there is still some time before the trial, the security deposit cannot be returned for the time being, and the loan company has not yet been paid, and the other party sends people to the door every day to collect debts.
