Chapter 144: Handling the case of Mo Village Dumpling
“Do you not want to open the dumpling shop?”
“Brother Feng has the final say whether to open it or not. This has nothing to do with you Yue people. ”
"Haha, now that we have arrived at the police station, we are talking more forcefully. Who the hell is Feng? You Chinese people are unruly."
In another room, the smoking man and a group of people from Lao Liang Restaurant People are imprisoned here.
The person guarding them was an old white man, who was concentrating on reading a book.
He didn't seem to notice the explosive conversation between the two. He only looked up every few minutes, and after confirming that nothing dangerous happened, he continued to read with his head down.
"Those guys are your friends. Don't just let it go if you beat us. If you don't pay compensation, we will file a lawsuit."
"What kind of lawsuit? Just those gangsters? You're not afraid of them being deported directly."
"Haha, you took away the business of the convenience store and the furniture store, and we haven't settled the score with you yet! Black household, that’s why he’s easy to bully..."
The smoking man and Lao Liang had a heated discussion, and the topic gradually turned to business.
The Vietnamese are indeed not as smart as the Chinese in doing business. They are still using the same tactics as when they first arrived, trying to control the number of stores through fights and other means.
However, customers will choose products that are beneficial to them.
With the rise of domestic factories in large quantities, those products with small profits and quick turnover were shipped to Tu'ao, and they could easily defeat the Vietnamese stores that had no advantages. This was something they could not tolerate.
Like the furniture store the smoking man just mentioned, in Tu'ao, IKEA's furniture is the most cost-effective and cheap. Although the quality is not very good, it can still be used.
The prices of items sold in other furniture markets and scattered furniture stores are very high. For example, a seemingly ordinary wooden dining table made of ordinary materials can be sold for a high price of two to three thousand Australian dollars.
In comparison, an IKEA dining table only costs a few hundred yuan, but local Tu'ao people are more willing to buy it at high-priced places.
The first reason is the transportation distance, and the second reason is preference.
This has allowed the new Chinese furniture bosses in Richmond to make a lot of money. The items they sell are cheap and of good quality, and are deeply loved by Tuao people in surrounding areas.
Those Yue bosses who were squeezed out were resentful and kept complaining in the social circles of Yue people.
In this foreign country, unless you are very strong, you will not be able to survive sooner or later if you don't unite to keep warm.
Richmond is one of the territories of the Yue Gang, and the Smoking Man is a small leader. He also strives for the chance of survival for his compatriots.
"Student at Didi University?"
"Yes."
"Major?"
"Finance."
In a small room, Dongdong was being interrogated by two policemen. In another room next to him, the young man from Vietnam who reported him was locked up.
The two policemen have been asking questions about Dongdong's identity for a long time. They have not asked a word about the fight until they entered the police station.
This made Dongdong feel a little impatient. He looked at the two policemen with strange eyes and kept complaining that the efficiency of case handling here was too low.
“Why did you hit someone first?”
"They threw things at my head first because we had a problem with them in the fruit shop before, and they came to retaliate against us."
"Didn't you say you didn't know them before?"
"I don't know those four guys, but I know a few others."
"No matter what, it was you who beat them first."
The interrogating policeman said to the policeman beside him With a wink, the man walked out of the room to check on the others.
Although it is true that Dongdong hit someone first, the other person was not seriously injured.
The police still need to follow the procedure and ask what happened, because they have also received an alarm from the fruit shop before.
"Officer, it hurts so much. Look, I got a big blow on my head."
In the next room, Yue Guo was knocked over by Dongdong with a chair. The young man pointed to his head with an innocent face. There was a large swelling on it, which was very obvious.
Dongdong was not merciful when he struck before. He was already very strong, and with a weapon like a folding chair that was difficult to defend against, he could hit him at once, and anyone else would have fainted.
However, this young man from the Yue Kingdom often fights and his ability to withstand beatings is pretty good, so he was able to withstand that blow.
"Oh, you are not a gangster, but it's not the first time you have been here."
"Fighting, smashing other people's shops in the middle of the night, disturbing the people..."
Two policemen were sitting in the room, staring intently at the information retrieved from the computer.
A playful smile appeared on their faces.
Although the Vietnamese man in front of him claims to be a victim, based on past records, this guy is definitely not a good person.
After hearing what the police said, the young man from Yue scratched his head in embarrassment.
This time their boss specially chose him because he was not a gangster and could speak English, so he was asked to stir up trouble.
However, his previous criminal records were too numerous to cover up.
Speaking of which, almost all of them from Yue have a lot of criminal records in the police station.
Those gangsters would make up random names when they entered the police station, but he always used his real name.
"Okay, we have also seen the surveillance. It was you who took the initiative to harass the hotel guests. Your injuries are not serious. Just go back and don't create a burden for us..."
"I don't believe it. It was caught on surveillance?"
Before the policeman could finish speaking, the young man from Vietnam interrupted him. Many small stores now do not have surveillance cameras installed, and even if they do, the clarity is not high.
Their movements of throwing toothpicks at people's heads are very small and difficult to photograph. Moreover, they deliberately chose a good angle to conceal their movements.
The smoking man had already told them what they needed to pay attention to, and they followed the boss's instructions.
Logically speaking, it should not be photographed.
"What? You still don't believe it?" The interrogating police officer's face darkened, feeling that this Yue young man was a little ungrateful.
Originally, this small matter could be easily solved, but this Yue monkey is still entangled here.
Originally, the police officer planned to let Dongdong pay some small compensation, but now it seems that things are not that simple.
"Phm, there are your family members outside."
At this time, a policeman pushed in the door and interrupted the conversation between the two people.
He stood by the door frame and pointed outside.
This incident was originally just a small matter. The Vietnamese youth was still the victim. His family members came to visit, but the police did not stop him.
But this young man from the Yue Kingdom was confused. He didn't have any family members.
But he quickly figured it out. It must be someone from the gang. They had done this before, but they all claimed to be lawyers.
"H, why is it you? Where is Trn (Tran)?"
"I can only see you. Tran is being questioned inside. You can tell the police in a moment. , Let’s forget about it.”
The young man named Phm was taken outside by the police. He originally thought that the person who came to pick him up was his boss Tran, but what he didn’t expect was that someone else came. people.
When he heard that Ho asked him to settle the matter hastily, he couldn't believe his ears.
"But...how will Tran explain it then? Why did he do that? Then I wasn't beaten in vain?" Phm said hesitantly.
He neither wanted to go against what Tran had told him, nor did he want to offend Ho in front of him.
Ho also saw what he was thinking, so he patted the other party on the shoulder.
"I will tell Tran that one of the people you have a conflict with is my friend. Let this matter go. When the time comes, let them give you a red envelope and let this matter go. I have other plans..."
After hearing this, Phm shook his head first, and then fell into silence.
After a moment, he could only nod helplessly. Phm knew that both of them had higher status than him, and he was just a pony boy.
He will naturally not object to what was explained above.
And the other party also said that he would talk to his boss Tran.
Considering the relationship between the two, he decided to obey Ho's order.
"Come, you two sit down and have a chat. He doesn't plan to hold you accountable for beating someone. You can negotiate the specific compensation yourself."
After a while, the two policemen took Phm and Dong. Dong came into a room, and the meaning of his words couldn't be clearer. The two enemies glared at each other as soon as they met, but they still sat down honestly.
Each state in Australia and Australia has different laws and regulations. For example, New South Wales has very strict handling of fights.
Any form of criminal behavior such as beating, intimidation, harassment, defamation, robbery, etc. will be prosecuted, whether in public places or private places.
In addition, if the beating causes the other party to be injured, hospitalized or killed, then this behavior will be considered a felony and the corresponding sentencing will be greatly increased.
Dealing with fights in South Australia is relatively complex.
When a beating incident occurs, the police will classify it according to the specific circumstances. This classification system directly affects the handling of the case.
For obvious acts of violence against people, the police will pursue their legal responsibilities according to the law, and the corresponding sentencing will be more severe.
Mo Village belongs to the state of Victoria. The local judicial appraisal agency will conduct appraisals on beating cases and evaluate the degree of physical harm caused to the victim by the beating.
The sentencing will vary depending on the severity of the beating.
In Mocun, the handling of fights is more relaxed than in New South Wales, where Xicun is located.
As long as no serious harm is caused and the victim’s forgiveness is obtained, some compensation is usually required.
Because the security situation in the center of Xicun is indeed poor, those notorious drunkards often cause trouble.
If the police do not take strict measures, it will only encourage more crimes.
Therefore, severely cracking down on crime is a necessary means to maintain social order.
In fact, the police generally do not invest too much energy in handling assault cases involving Asians.
Because there are many people who are undercover, it will be more complicated and troublesome to deal with.
International students are often more unfortunate.
They are not local citizens, and the police often choose to turn a blind eye when handling cases.
There are often reports on the Internet that a certain international student encountered an accident in a certain country, and usually as long as the incident does not involve public opinion, the murderer can often go unpunished.
Even when a murderer is caught, the charges often come as a surprise.
So, although international students seem to have great success abroad, once something unexpected happens, their situation is even more difficult than that of local third-class citizens.
