Chapter 1370 Chapter 1370 - Public Security Penalty (2/2)
Li Du said, ”I wasn't fighting, it was self-defense. Didn't you see the video? If you did, you should know that they were going to hit me and I had to defend myself.”
Perhaps because his combat effectiveness was extraordinary, the sheriff's attitude towards him was at least respectful. He said, ”We'll sort this out during our investigation, depending on how the incident unfolded.”
After the police officers left, Ollie said sadly, ”I'm afraid we'll have to stay here for a few days. What bad luck!”
”Yes, damn Tucson for being soft, and f**k them for reporting to the police!”
There were some Tucson people in the room, and it almost came to another clash.
Fortunately, Li Du, Godzilla, and the others stood up, and the angry Tucson people found themselves obviously outnumbered. Li Du and the others had extraordinary combat experts among them, so the Tucson guys could only grit their teeth and seethe in silence.
Li Du paid no attention to the Tucson men, knowing they wouldn't dare to make chaos at the police station. He looked at Ollie and asked, ”We have to be here for a few days?”
Ollie nodded listlessly. ”This group fight was so massive, it will probably take them some time to sort out this matter.”
Li Du was worried. ”What about our warehouse?”
He still had a tank waiting for him in his warehouse!
Black Mustang and the others were in a daze too. ”Yes, what about our warehouses? The auction's results will come out within 24 hours. We have to get the documents.”
Li Du was depressed. ”Damn, so all of you forgot this until now? Why couldn't you at least wait until the paperwork was sorted before heading to a club and getting caught up in a massive fight?”Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click for visiting.
Black Mustang said helplessly, ”Who would remember this after a few drinks?”
Li Du quickly called his lawyer again. ”Neuberger, I'm being held by the police in Tucson. Come here quickly and get me out. Nothing big. Bail me if you can. As soon as possible!”
Neuberger, a competent lawyer, asked, ”What happened? Boss, you have a good relationship with the authorities, don't you? I'm not going to be a lawyer for a criminal group, am I?”
”I was in a club in Tucson and was attacked by some locals. Then I fought back and was arrested.”
Neuberger asked, ”Is that all? Was there nothing else?”
Li Du said, ”Yes, it was all just self-defense.”
.
Neuberger said, ”Don't worry then. I'll call my friends in Tucson and ask them to pick you up first thing.”
After a while, the phone rang and Neuberger shouted, ”Boss, you have to be honest with me. What happened? I hear there were over a hundred people involved. Was it some kind of riot?”
The skirmish was so big that the next day the local media in Tucson reported it, so even with the help of a good lawyer, Li Du couldn't leave.
They were being held in temporary custody, not to prosecute or convict, but to continue cooperating with the police investigation.
The warehousing company sent a short message saying that Li Du won the bid for two warehouses. He needed to take care of the ownership transfer within 24 hours of receiving the information.
Li Du could not go himself, so he had to entrust a lawyer to handle the payment and reception of the warehouse. Fortunately, a private lawyer was authorized to do these things.
After another day at the police station, the officer opened the door and invited them out, saying, ”Under Tucson's law of peace, you can either be prosecuted or opt for public security penalty. The choice is yours.”
Li Du sighed and said, ”I choose public security penalty. I don't want to stay here any longer.”
”Come with me, then,” the officer smiled very maliciously.
