It seemed that these words had an effect. Zhao Lin calmed down and said slowly:
"Officer, Xiao Ming's wife and I are close friends. I was at their wedding. Last night, I ran into Xiao Ming by chance on my way home. He was drinking alone."
"I thought his state was a little strange, so I went up to him and asked him a question. He said that he and my best friend were going through a divorce and he was in a bad mood."
"I wanted to comfort him, but he overthought it and actually had inappropriate thoughts about me. He even made unreasonable demands to sleep with me. I rejected him without hesitation and thought that was over. Unexpectedly, he took advantage of the alcohol to touch me. If I hadn't resisted in time, I don't know what terrible things would have happened."
"Officer, this kind of person is terrible. Please punish him severely!"
Officer Liu listened calmly and took notes as he listened.
After she finished speaking, Officer Liu said sternly, "Ms. Zhao, is what you said true? If you conceal or slander others, you will be held legally responsible."
Zhao Lin shuddered and said quickly, "It's true. What I said is absolutely true!"
"Okay, I have a few questions here. Please answer them truthfully."
Zhao Lin nodded nervously.
"First question, you said he sexually harassed you last night, but why didn't you report it last night, but waited until today to report it?"
Officer Liu looked at her with a sharp, oppressive gaze.
Zhao Lin's eyes were evasive. "I was so scared. I didn't expect it last night. I was also worried that he would retaliate against me. Later, I told this to our girlfriends group, and they all encouraged me to call the police, so I did this this morning."
Officer Liu remained noncommittal and continued, "Second question, what evidence do you have to prove he sexually harassed you?"
Zhao Lin immediately said: "I have evidence!"
"evidence?"
"Yes, I went back with a friend last night. She was standing far away and filmed the whole process with her mobile phone."
After Zhao Lin finished speaking, she immediately took out her cell phone and opened the video.
After watching the video, Officer Liu immediately asked, "Why didn't your friend go up to stop it, but instead filmed it from a distance?"
Zhao Lin's face was in a state of panic, and she stammered, "How would I know? Maybe she never thought that Xiao Ming would do something worse than an animal."
Officer Liu nodded slightly and looked at Wang Li who was sitting next to him.
"Is this the lady who filmed the video last night?"
Zhao Lin shook her head: "No, no, the friend who filmed the video didn't come. She is Xiao Ming's wife."
Wang Li angrily said, "Officer, Xiao Ming is an absolute bastard. After our relationship broke down, he actually did such a heartless thing. Please punish him severely and don't let this social cancer have the idea of ​​continuing to do bad things."
Officer Liu recorded the conversation truthfully in the interrogation book and added, "Please rest assured, if the evidence is conclusive, he will be severely punished by law."
"What do you mean by if? Isn't the evidence conclusive now? We have witnesses and evidence." Wang Li asked.
"This is just your one-sided account," Officer Liu said calmly. "Furthermore, the suspect Xiao Ming's confession is completely contrary to yours, so we definitely can't convict him directly at this point. We need to gather more evidence. Do you understand?"
Wang Li and the other person were shocked. They never thought that even with the video evidence, they still couldn't convict directly.
Officer Liu continued, "Ms. Zhao, please write down the exact time and place where Xiao Ming harassed you in a notebook. We will immediately go to the scene to collect evidence. Once we have evidence proving that Xiao Ming sexually harassed you, we will notify you immediately. At that time, it will be up to you to decide whether to accept mediation or file a lawsuit."
"By the way, Xiao Ming is in the detention room now. This lady can go visit him."
He was seeing Wang Li, the suspect's wife, who was allowed to visit the suspect after he had been interrogated.
"I don't want to see him. Such a disgusting person is not worth seeing." Wang Li looked disgusted.
Officer Liu said nothing. He closed the inquiry book and said, "Okay, Ms. Zhao, please keep your phone open during this time so we can contact you at any time. Now you can go back and wait for news."
"Thank you, Officer Liu."
Zhao Lin was a little nervous, and then left with Wang Li.
After leaving the police station, Zhao Lin looked around nervously and whispered, "Lili, what should we do? Things are not going as smoothly as we thought. What if, what if the police find out that we are colluding..."
"Shh!" Wang Li glared at her. "Why are you panicking? We have the evidence. As long as we firmly believe it's him, I don't believe he can prove himself!"
Zhao Lin was worried and muttered, "I've lost a lot. I wouldn't have gotten involved if I had known this. If my husband knew about this, I wouldn't know how to explain it to him."
"Linlin, you were not polite at all when you took the money. Now you must stand firmly with me, otherwise you will be in big trouble when the police know the truth!" Wang Li threatened.
She hadn't expected things to go so badly, but for the sake of all her wealth, she was determined to fight to the end. She also didn't believe she would lose, because the location she had chosen yesterday was carefully selected, and there were absolutely no cameras around.
