Chapter 176 He Brought a Witness
He disappeared around the corner of the stairs. He Sang wiped away her tears and walked cautiously towards Zhao Kai, "Where are you holding me?"
Zhao Kai felt very uncomfortable.
Hu Dafa is full of evil deeds, and everyone in Hebei Province knows about it.
He is definitely capable of desecrating a little girl.
Moreover, Zhao Kai knew how to judge people. He Sang was honest and the case was completely unfavorable to her. She was not cunning and always spoke her mind. The Hu family accused her of blackmailing Hu Dafa and that the lovers had turned against each other, but Zhao Kai did not believe it at all.
The most depressing thing was that Liang Jishen stood up and turned his back hastily, with a gray and wet look in his eyes. Zhao Kai almost couldn't hold it back.
The arrogant and cold Liang Jishen, the decisive and ruthless Liang Jishen, also ended up like this.
It wouldn't be a big deal to keep him detained for another night, but since there are no witnesses, the situation is getting troublesome.
Zhao Kai also thought that Mrs. Hu wanted money and settled the matter privately.
However, the incident was too big and the outside world was paying attention, so it could no longer be settled privately. If Liang Jishen paid money to settle the matter and was caught by his peers, it would be even more disastrous.
People with resumes like theirs are most afraid of misconduct.
Zhao Kai ordered the female police officer to take He Sang to the detention room, and he went into the monk's interrogation room.
At midnight, the lights were on in Courtyard 14 of Bixi Mansion where Liang Chihui lived.
A man covered in blood stood in the living room, his hair dripping with mud and his clothes torn.
Very embarrassing.
Liang Chihui frowned, "What's wrong with you?"
"A group of people chased me." Feng Zhikui panted.
Compared to his panic, Liang Chihui was much calmer, "Are your enemies trying to scare you?"
"They're not trying to scare me, they're serious. They have machetes!"
"Oh?" Liang Chihui motioned him to sit down, "Would you like a drink?"
"Second Young Master, are you kidding me?" Feng Zhikui said palely. "My life is in danger, how can I have the heart to drink?"
"Since you know your life is in danger, why don't I show you a way out?"
Feng Zhikui grasped at straws, "I'll sneak into Southeast Asia... I've found a place to stay. I'll open a new account and you can wire me some money!"
Liang Chihui held the wine tray and said, "Even if you run to the ends of the earth, they will chase you."
"Am I waiting to die?"
"In fact, prison is the safest place." A smile gradually appeared in Liang Chihui's eyes.
Feng Zhikui woke up as if from a dream, "You...it's you!"
"Me what?"
"So it was you who sent someone. The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind—" Feng Zhikui's face changed. "I've made a name for myself in Hebei Province. Apart from Hu Dafa, you're the only one who dares to provoke me. Others can't even avoid me. No matter how down and out I am, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. They're here to make money, not risk their lives!"
Liang Chihui drank calmly. "If I were to take action, you're right in front of me right now. Why wouldn't I do it? Why would I have to make such a big fuss and surround you outside? You know all too well how many of our peers the Guanghe Group has offended. Now that you're hiding your identity, if you end up dead on the street, wouldn't that be any different from a rat that everyone wants to kill?"
"Second Young Master, you must protect me no matter what..." Feng Zhikui's legs weakened and he collapsed to the ground, his heart pounding. "We are from the same boat! Protect me, and I will repay you."
"I can protect you for a while, but I can't protect you forever." Liang Chihui lowered his upper body, looked at him straight in the eye, and spoke each word with clarity. "You have too many enemies, and your life is full of dangers. You're afraid to go out, afraid to sleep, and you can no longer enjoy yourself openly. Is there any meaning in living anymore?"
Feng Zhikui moved forward, inching closer to him. "I am afraid, but aren't you afraid that I will betray you?"
"If you betray me, no one will ever save you." Liang Chihui grabbed his collar and pulled him towards her, his eyes sinister. "Whatever I tell you to say, just say it. Behave well. You've served me for many years, and I can't bear to destroy my bridges. If you don't know what's good for you, don't forget my methods, Liang Chihui."
Feng Zhikui twitched violently, gritting his teeth, "Liang Lao Er, you're so fucking cruel."
......
The next morning, Zhao Kai went to Lao Zhang's office. The captain of the traffic detachment was there too. He greeted him and applauded, "Brother Jian! You've gotten tanned again."
Zhao Kai threw his hands away and said, "Fuck you!"
"Hey—" the captain put his arm around her shoulder, "You were a junior in college, climbing a tree and watching the beauty in the department practicing in the dance studio. Your size 41 shoes fell on the dean's head, and you got mud all over your face. Did you break any bones?"
Zhao Kai was annoyed with him, "None of your business!"
Old Zhang took off his reading glasses and joked, "He fell and was hospitalized. A female classmate was pasting newspapers on the window of the door, and he couldn't see, so he climbed up a tree and looked out the third-floor window. This kid is really naughty."
Zhao Kai was embarrassed. "Can you please not mention it? My wife is jealous."
Lao Zhang laughed, "That girl likes Zhou Kun, right?"
"Zhou Kun invited her to dinner and brought Liang San with him. Liang San invested all his money and went to eat for free. As a result, she fell in love with Liang San again."
Old Zhang suddenly realized, "Did Ji Shen and her get together?"
Zhao Kai smacked his lips helplessly.
Old Zhang slapped his forehead and said, "Yes, it didn't work out. Ji Shen University didn't talk about it."
"It's 2 p.m., and he's been detained for 24 hours." Zhao Kai worried, "Should He Sang be released?"
Lao Zhang flipped through the transcript and asked, "Did the witness change his statement?"
"The monk is suspected of perjury, and Liang Sanmin exposed him." Zhao Kai moved a chair and sat down. "There's insufficient evidence to prove He Sang committed intentional injury. I'll file a case based on self-defense. For example, Hu Dafa and He Sang argued, pushed and threatened her, and imprisoned her. He Sang sensed his intentions and, in a moment of panic, she failed to defend herself."
The more Zhao Kai spoke, the clearer things became, and he became more excited. "There's a huge size disparity between them. Hu Dafa's bullying of He Sang was oppressive. Her reckless self-defense was based on her own weakness, so it's understandable."
"That girl was indeed wronged, but you were the one taking the statement, not helping her edit it." Old Zhang glanced at him unhappily, "Is Hu Dafa a vegetable?"
“Basically.”
"He deserves it!" the captain was indignant. "Last year, he crashed into a guard booth while driving drunk, and earlier this year, he dragged a traffic officer, leaving the skin on his back rubbed raw. He's been granted medical parole under the pretext of kidney disease. He's He Sang, right? Send her a bouquet of flowers to thank her on my behalf."
Zhao Kai ignored him.
Old Zhang knocked on the corner of the table. "The witness is invalid. The Hu family still has physical evidence, the murder weapon, and an assessment of Hu Dafa's injuries. The premise of self-defense is not He Sang's subjective belief that Hu Dafa intended rape. Hu Dafa's bodily fluids need to be tested. Even if he attempted it, there must be residual hair, torn underwear, and minor superficial injuries, right? At the very least, there are eyewitnesses or surveillance footage. If there is nothing, you give the green light..." Old Zhang coughed lightly, "Can it be opened? The court will not support it."
Zhao Kai picked up the transcript and went out, ready to contact Liang Jishen. Liang Jishen has a wide network of contacts, and there will definitely be something to discuss if he arranges a chat with the court.
Just as I opened the address book, my subordinate called me, "Liang Chihui wants to see you."
Zhao Kai was confused, "Looking for me?"
"He has witnesses."
"Witness?"
The subordinate said, "There are witnesses who prove that He Sang was framed and acted in self-defense."
