Chapter 212 Love and Care for the Morons (1/2)
It was shocking when a person just shouted out of nowhere in public, although Tang Yuanchu had done so for a good cause.
Well, as the one who bawled earlier was a police officer, that attracted the attention of everyone there.
The quiet environment became quiet as everyone had their attention on Tang Yuanchu.
That man who was dragged out by Tang Yuanchu was groaning in pain. As a result, his mobile phone loosened from his hand.
Cluck! The mobile phone fell onto the ground.
He yelled in a distressing tone, ”My handphone, my handphone…”
”…”
He actually cared about his mobile phone at this moment?
No one knew what Tang Yuanchu wanted this man to handover.
But due to the grave look on Detective Tang's face, they assumed that this should not be something trivial.
Everyone watched in silence. Xiang Wan, as well as the other two colleagues, came over to check out the situation.
”What happened?” He Wencai asked Tang Yuanchu.
Tang Yuanchu did not reply but handed the man to He Wencai where picked up the mobile phone on the ground, ordered that man to unlock it, and checked the photo album…
”Officer, you don't have the right to do this. This is my privacy… my privacy…”
That man struggled, yelling and shouting away. He even asked the fellow reporters to help him out.
”Quick! Take a video of the police doing a forced body search on me—”
”Shut up!” Tang Yuanchu glared at him and continued to check the pictures in the mobile phone. He noticed that although there were many revealing pictures of various women, but there wasn't anything that he had expected to find…
Did I see wrongly? He asked himself in his head.
He Wencai still had the man subdued. ”Tang Yuanchu,” he asked again, ”you haven't replied to my question.”
Civilized law enforcement was a requirement. Moreover, there were so many reporters on the scene, if Tang Yuanchu was not careful on the matter, the Hongjiang District police force would be in trouble. He Wencai was about to break out in cold sweat.
But Tang Yuanchu did not answer for quite a while.
As he was being stared at by the crowd, his cheeks started to get hot. After mulling it for a while, he suddenly looked towards Xie Wanwan.
”This fellow is behaving sneakily at the side. I suspect he's taking some obscene pictures…”
Xie Wanwan was stunned.
Just now, that sneaky fellow had been circling around Xie Wanwan and was taking pictures from various angles. As there were many reporters there, they surrounded Xie Wanwan like sardines, so no one actually knew what had happened. However, as Xie Wanwan was wearing a knee-length skirt with a slit, whenever a breeze brush past, it would reveal her pair of fair, slender and delicate legs—which could be a little too provoking for some men.
In a normal interview, the pictures that the photographer took would certainly not be obscene, even if the photographer could be crouching. But that was not the case for that sneaky fellow. He blended with the crowd and the position of his hands—what kind of fellow would keep trying to shoot under a woman's skirt? Tang Yuanchu saw this and immediately shouted at him.
Everyone now seemed to understand what was going on.
Nevertheless, the fellow struggled relentlessly and kept shouting.
”We're conducting the interview in an open and aboveboard manner. Why are you accusing me of taking obscene pictures? Officer, do you have evidence? If you don't, you don't have the right to do this to me.”
There were many reporters there.
And these people were usually shrewd.
They had ”weapons” on them. How could they waste the opportunity for a worthy piece of news?
The cameras were already targeted at the struggling fellow who disputed with the police.
There were also reporters who asked, ”Officer comrade, why did you say that he took obscene pictures?”
As Tang Yuanchu did not find any evidence on his mobile phone, he was confused and was at a loss.
He was standing, looking uneasy—his good-looking face was now red.
Due to the silence of the police officers, the tides gradually turned to the favor of the sneaky fellow. They were now suspicious of the police from the initial suspicion of that man taking obscene pictures.
As the crowd started to question their act, He Wencai felt his hand going weak.
This matter seemed headed to a bad end when Xiang Wan cried out suddenly.
”Take off his watch!”
She was watching while the others were talking.
She believed in Tang Yuanchu's judgement, as well as her own instincts—that sneaky fellow seemed like a crook.
However, no evidence of his crime was found in his mobile phone. So, if he was taking obscene pictures, where would the camera be?
And so, she thought of the watch.
That should be attributed to her habit of watching social news. These perverts who loved to take obscene pictures of girls tend to install their camera in all kinds of unexpected places.
Since Tang Yuanchu noticed that there was something wrong with his hand and the problem lies not on the phone—it could only be the watch.
Sure enough, Xiang Wan's logical reasoning ability proved its worth again.
On hearing this, that sneaky fellow instantly had a change of expression and struggled to protect his watch as he refused to take that off.
”You're sure a sly one, huh?!” Tang Yuanchu grabbed the arms of the sneaky fellow and removed the watch from his wrist.
He took a look at the watch on his palm and held it in his hand. ”Let's go. You need to come with us to the police station!”
That man hung his head low and made no further attempt to defend himself!
This incident happened so fast that Xie Wanwan had not managed to speak to the police officers.
