Chapter 6 — My Neighbors Think I'm a Fat Goat

She declared herself to be a person with limited behavioral capacity. This reason is wild, but legally, it gives her a perfect excuse to escape crime. According to the law, mentally ill people who cannot recognize or control their behavior and cause harmful consequences, after being assessed and confirmed according to legal procedures, will not be held criminally responsible. As for civil compensation, she spread her hands. "I have no money." "The restaurant has been sealed and still owes a lot of money. Now even eating is a problem. Where can I get the money to compensate her?" “If you want money, you don't have one. If you want life, you have one.” She just started acting like a scoundrel. The police at the police station are also very helpless. They called me, gracefully expressing their desire to "reconcile". "Miss Chen, you see, her situation is really quite special. Or... you two can negotiate a bit about the compensation amount, can this stay like this?" “Just like that?” I picked up the phone and burst out laughing. "She used mental illness as a shield, intentionally destroyed my property, threatened my physical safety, and now she just wants to use 'just like that' to solve it?" “So next time, can she come and slash me with a knife, then say she's sick again?” The police on the other end of the line were silent. “We will seriously criticize her education, and ask her guardian to strictly manage her.” Guardian? Only then did I know that Luu Le also had an older brother named Luu Cuong, who did some small business in a neighboring city. The police contacted Luu Cuong and told him to go to the police station to pick up someone. That afternoon, at the door of the police station, I met two cousins. Luu Le hid behind her brother, bowed her head, unable to see her expression clearly. Luu Cuong is a middle-aged man in his forties, tall and rough, with a face full of fat. As soon as he came up, he offered me a cigarette, but I refused. He wasn't shy either, he lit himself up and took a deep breath. "Sister," he opened his mouth, his voice was hoarse, "my sister really has a problem with her mind. She has been abnormal since she was a child. I caused you trouble. I'll apologize to you on her behalf." Having said that, he bowed slightly to me. The attitude looks very sincere. But from his small, flickering eyes, I didn't see any guilt. It's all calculation. "As for the car, we will accept how much compensation we should pay. But as you can see, its current condition really means you can't get any money out. Can you see this?" He took out a wrinkled envelope from his pocket and stuffed it into my hand. "There's five thousand yuan in here, you take it first to repair the car. We'll pay the rest slowly in installments, okay?" Five thousand yuan? Just repainting my car was more than that. Not to mention the four tires and windshield were scratched. After assessing the damage, it must be at least thirty thousand. He is giving alms to beggars. I pushed the return envelope. "Regarding compensation, I will follow the legal process. I didn't come today to talk about money with you." I passed him and looked at Luu Le behind him. “Liu Le, look at me.” Luu Le's body trembled and she slowly raised her head. In her eyes there was no longer resentment, but a complex emotion mixed between fear and provocation. I stared into her eyes and asked word by word: "Your illness, is it real?" 09 My question was like a sharp knife, piercing straight into Luu Le's most core disguise. Her eyes were panicked, she instinctively wanted to dodge, but I locked her tightly. Liu Cuong's face immediately changed next to her. "What are you talking about! My sister is already like that, you still stimulate her! Do you have any sympathy!" He took a step forward, trying to block my sight, separating me and Luu Le. I didn't pay attention to him, still looking at Luu Le. “Do you think a piece of paper can become a passport for all your evil deeds?” “Do you think that by hiding behind the shell of a 'patient' you can do whatever you want without having to suffer any consequences?” “I said

Let me know, you can pretend for a while, but you can't pretend for the rest of your life." My voice wasn't loud, but every word pierced my heart. Luu Le's lips began to tremble and her face turned pale. When Luu Cuong saw this, he became completely angry. He pointed at my nose and screamed loudly. “Damn it will you stop! Isn't that just a slash on your torn car? Giving face but not knowing how to receive it, right? Don't you dare say one more thing, believe me, I'm going to kill you!” He raised his hand, pretending to hit me. The security guard at the police station door immediately rushed forward and stopped him. “What are you doing! Do you want to cause trouble at the door of the police station? Liu Cuong was held back by security, still screaming. But right in this chaos, I saw Luu Le, the "patient" who was always hiding behind her brother, the corner of her mouth revealed a cold, smug smile. At that moment, I understood everything.
