Chapter 52 Within the scope of my ability, I am willing
Due to the remoteness of the area, it was already more than two hours later when the police found the place.
When calling the police, Wen Yan also had some disagreements with some crew members.
She called the police mainly because of the naked woman locked in the pig pen, not because she was suddenly being resisted by a strange man while she was filming well.
Some people on the set thought she was being nosy.
Because after the incident happened, the crew contacted the village committee immediately.
People from the village committee also explained to the crew that the man who suddenly appeared was called Ni Datou, and he was a psychopath, a mental illness brought from his mother's womb.
As we all know, it is not illegal to hit someone with a mental illness.
The consequence of calling the police is just a few verbal warnings, asking the guardians to take a stricter look at the mentally ill.
Therefore, some members of the crew wanted to put things to rest and hurry up with filming which was the most important thing.
Zhou Junye was unwilling to intervene at first.
But his tone when dealing with Wen Yan was much better than that of several other staff members.
"You are so gentle. I know you sympathize with that woman, but you have no evidence at all that you suspect she was trafficked. Her family and people in their village have said that she was locked up because she had mental illness.
"If her personal freedom is not restricted, she will come out and beat people like his son. In serious cases, she may have an accident. Even for her safety, she has to be locked at home."
Wen Yan does not agree with this statement.
"Even if it's a mental illness, it's not like this kind of care. You won't even be given a piece of clothing. Is there such supervision? "Director Zhou, there are so many scripts on the market for you to choose from, but you chose "Lost of Voice". What was your original intention? "Don't you want to call on society to treat deaf-mute people more fairly and justly through this movie? Strictly speaking, isn't this woman also a member of the deaf-mute group? "She is mentally disturbed and no longer knows how to express the suffering she has suffered. She is no different from a deaf mute, and is even worse than these disabled people. Is this fair and just? "The reason I'm arguing with you now is not to morally kidnap the crew or ask you to do anything. Because I can report it to the police in my own name.
"If my personal request for leave to deal with this matter delays the progress of the crew, then I can compensate the crew for their losses.
“If I report this to the police, it may cause a waste of police resources and a waste of the crew’s time, but it may also save this poor woman’s life!!
"So I insist." Wen Yan's tone was firmer than ever.
"I agree with Wen Yan's approach." Shen Jinghe also said, "I am the largest investor in this drama, and I agree with the crew to stop working for half a day."
Zhou Junye has actually been persuaded by Wen Yan: "Okay, then I will listen to you."
After the police came, Ni Sanshui and the people in the village still said the same thing.
It is said that the locked woman Chai Zhaodi suffered from mental illness decades ago.
By chance, she stayed at Ni's house, eating and drinking for free without being able to drive her away. Ni Sanshui felt sorry for her, so he married her and gave her a home to live in.
While talking, Ni Sanshui also pulled out two marriage certificates from home, proving that he and Chai Zhaodi were stamped by the aboveboard and aboveboard government.
But the more complete Ni Sanshui's procedures were, the more suspicious Wen Yan became.
She heard Granny Zhou say that she didn't have an ID card before she was 50 years old. Then the authorities tightened the control and started conducting a census, so she went to apply for it.
Decades ago, in a small mountain village like this, a normal citizen didn't even have the awareness to apply for an ID card. How could he think of getting a marriage certificate?
Moreover, the other party was a foreigner who came to his home when he was sick, and the relevant departments didn’t even investigate?Does she have identification?Is the ID authentic?Wen Yan raised her own doubts about this and asked the police to investigate.
The police agreed and persuaded Ni Sanshui to improve Chai Zhaodi's living environment.
"That's it, officer? Improve the living environment?" However, Wen Yan did not think that a bad old man like Ni Sanshui would really improve Chai Zhaodi's living environment.
If he had ever had such thoughts, he would not have treated this woman like this.
"Can you please take a moment to speak, two officers?"
"can."
Wen Yan took the police aside and expressed her thoughts.
"She's in this state now. Can't you step in to assess her injuries? I think she needs medical attention now. Maybe you should also check her body for any injuries from beatings. She has a lot of bruises."
The police were also in a dilemma: "Ms. Wen. It seems that they are a legal couple at the moment. There is no other way except to persuade us. As for the bruises you mentioned, it is normal for a mental patient to have bumps and bruises."
Obviously, there is no evidence to prove that Ni Sanshui committed a crime.
On the surface, this matter is a family matter, not even a family dispute, because the other party is a mentally ill person.
But what Wen Yan is now worried about is that once the crew and police leave, Ni Sanshui will not only not improve Chai Zhaodi's living environment, but may even beat her to vent his anger.
"Well then, I think it's safer to send her to the hospital. In her current state, whether it's mental or physical, I think she should seek medical treatment. But if it were up to me, Ni Sanshui might not agree, and would even They might try to blackmail me. So I hope the two police officers will do you a favor. You will handle this matter and I will bear the cost."
"Are you sure? You are a foreigner and have no connection with Chai Zhaodi. Are you sure you want to pay for her medical expenses?"
"Sure, I'm not short of money. If one day something like this happens to me and someone is willing to lend a helping hand to me, my family and I will be grateful to that person for the rest of our lives. I am willing to help her within my ability. "
"Row!"
Chai Zhaodi finally got into a police car and was taken to the city hospital.
Before leaving, Ni Sanshui's eyes seemed to be quenched when he looked at Wen Yan.
But Chai Zhaodi got into a police car, so he had no choice. - Chai Zhaodi needed to stay in the hospital for treatment, so Wen Yan, Shen Jinghe and Zhou Junye simply returned to the hotel to spend the night.
After a busy afternoon, no one had time to eat, so Zhou Junye ordered takeout to be delivered to the room.
The three gathered in his room for a late-night snack.
Zhou Junye said: "Today's shooting was delayed for a long time, but you have to finish it the day after tomorrow at the latest. What will you do if Chai Zhaodi's matter is not properly resolved?"
"That's just right." Wen Yan happily rolled out two skewers, "I was originally worried that I wouldn't have enough time to do all the work. After finishing the filming, I will have a lot of time. No matter what, meeting her can be regarded as the fate between me and her. .Well, by the way, let me tell you something."
"what?"
"You'll know it when you hear it."
