CH 165

After Officer Liu finished the transcript, he asked Lin Lan a few more questions.

Lin Lan was a little puzzled, “Officer Liu, did Han Jinbao beat my son so badly that he should be arrested?”

Although Han Jinbao fought Sanwang, factually speaking, it would be classified under family conflicts. Hence, the public security workers wouldn’t bother at all.

She didn’t report the case immediately because she thought that it was useless, so she approached Han Yongfang and took advantage of his sense of justice. Then, she used Han Jinbao and Han Jinyu’s corrupt behaviour to blackmail them for money.

Which was why she truly didn’t expect it to be useful.

Officer Liu hesitated for a while. Technically, it wasn’t a secret and Lin Lan was also a victim, so she had the right to know. He said, “Han Dawang reported Han Qinghua’s reactionary behaviour.”

As for the specific behaviours, naturally, it could not be disclosed at will.

However, Lin Lan immediately understood that the illegal behaviours in this era were different from those of later generations. Most of the illegal behaviours at this time were related to speculation, slandering leaders, improper conduct, corruption, etc.

Then this was not an action of framing Han Jinbao.

Moreover, Dawang had been following him all this time and could tell them everything that he knew. Hence, his statements would hold power.

Dawang, my son, I’ll give you a thumbs up.

Lin Lan happily gave a thumbs up as Officer Liu gave her a surprised look.

“Officer Liu, how should Han Jinbao be punished? Are those charges convicted?”

“We took him back to investigate and we had to ask school teachers and his classmates to testify. It has been verified that he will first be detained while waiting for the trial. Whether it was to go to the labour reforming farm or being fined back at home, we still need to see how things go.”

There was a lot of room for negotiations here and perhaps, he wouldn’t have to sit through solitary confinement. Materials and supplies were already tight. Naturally, people will not be imprisoned in vain and waste the food in those places. They would probably have to go to the labour camps to cultivate the land.

If there were no connections and no other way, with no one interceding, the re-education through labour would last possibly for a decade or three.

If there were connections or relations that could be utilised, perhaps a lesson or two would be all before the convicted was allowed to return home.

Han Qinghua’s third brother was an officer, so there was still room for this to play out as well.

It’s just that Han Dawang’s report was too big of a move to ignore. They would suppress the sentence for now and take Han Jinbao to custody. When Han Qingsong returned, the officers would refer to him for further actions.

They would act based on his means.

But Lin Lan didn’t know about this, and naturally, Officer Liu had no intention of revealing it either.

Officer Liu took the transcript to Old Man Han’s house.

Lin Lan followed along and as soon as she entered the door, she saw a mess in the courtyard.

Upon seeing her coming, Old Lady Han’s face was flushed with red as she trembled to come and beat her, “You are vicious, you are so vicious! How could you send my son to his deathbed?!”

Lin Lan shrugged, “I’ll say, old lady, stop slandering others baselessly, I didn’t do anything.”

Old Man Han said with a gloomy face, “Third family, you even took the money and wrote the IOU, so why didn’t you let him go?”

Han Jinyu was also there to scold Lin Lan for being insane, having an intention to slaughter everything and having a vicious mind… Either way, with this sentence, she had practically used all the adjectives that she learnt in school all these years.
