Chapter 1371 Chapter 1371 - Love’s Punishmen (1/2)

Public security incidents such as these were usually prosecuted by the police without mediators.

After the police submitted the indictment to the court, the court would hear the case. In this case, Li Du, as the defendant, was not sure to be convicted.

However, if they accepted public security punishment, they would be certainly guilty, and the related information would be added to their criminal record.

However, this crime of affray was not serious, and public security punishment was often light.

Li Du and his men listlessly followed the officers into the hall of the police station, and then felt that the situation was not good: there were reporters, holding up cameras to take photos!

”Damn, no more privacy,” grumbled Li Du in frustration.

The policeman next to him said, ”Why did you break the law then?”

Fortunately, the camera was not focused on Li Du. There was a group of other people in front of him. The large hall was extremely crowded, with over a hundred people.

The police chief walked up to the front and said a bunch of nonsense, but Li Du focused on the general idea: a kind of loving punishment the Tucson police department was going to use instead of harsh penalties.

While Li Du was wondering what this could possibly mean, the punishment began.

Just as the lawyer told him, this matter was of a relatively large scale and would be widely publicized, but the punishment would not be serious, especially for Li Du who had recorded evidence of acting in self-defense.

The punishment was a little out of the ordinary. Two police officers demonstrated it by holding on to each other's waist with one hand, and then standing side by side, raising the other arm above the head, and forming a heart shape.

Seeing this scene, not only Li Du, but everyone else was shocked as well.

Li Du thought this pose looked familiar, and then remembered that it was popular with many couples on WeChat.

Li Du always felt that it was tacky and never did it with Sophie. Now, instead of Sophie, he was posing with a male stranger!Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

It was even harder for the tough guys from Tucson to accept such a punishment. The idea horrified them so much that they cried out:

”Are you asking me to do this? Shoot me, I'd rather die!”

”F**k, I'm not going to do this. Don't even think about it!”

”I'm sorry, officer, I regret drinking and fighting, and I swear I'll never do it again. Leave me alone, don't let me be so disgraced!”

”I regret it too. I would rather go to jail.”

Li Du sighed helplessly as he watched the bruised Tucson men showing their weakness. These fools did not realize that the police introduced such public punishments precisely for their psychological effect. The Tucson guys' horror showed that it worked.

Sure enough, the police officers refused very firmly. ”This is a police station, not a grocery store, and you can't haggle. Here, you come out first. Come up here and pose.”

The two men, one from Tucson and the other from Phoenix, went up on stage to pose for the photo.

Li Du looked at the scene. There were 70 or 80 people from Tucson, more than on the treasure hunters' side. He had a bad feeling about it all.

He saw some of the police officers carrying coffee, evidently intending to play a long game, and a depressing idea occurred to him.
