Chapter 156 Under the Sun 06 He is a bad guy.
Chapter 6
After leaving the noodle shop, Jing Jue said to Lu Changfeng: "Le Le didn't say anything about this matter, which means that Uncle Wang does have the habit of touching children's genitals."
Lu Changfeng nodded. "At present, Lele's testimony plus the testimony of Xiaobao's family are not enough to prove that Mr. Wang is a pervert who molests children. We need more testimony and even more direct evidence."
Jing Jue asked: "Le Le, do you know where your friends live?"
Lele nodded: "I know everything."
"Then take us to find those kids. The police want to investigate what you reported."
"Okay, okay." Lele showed them the way, and they found Lele's friend Xiaomei.
The little girl just woke up and was watching cartoons in the living room.
When he saw that it was Lele who came, he immediately opened the door for them.
When Xiaomei's grandmother came out of the kitchen, she saw two men in the house. She was startled and scolded Xiaomei: "How can you open the door for others casually?"
Xiaomei said aggrievedly: "They came here with Lele."
Lu Changfeng and Jing Jue quickly showed their police IDs.
The old lady still didn't quite believe it. After putting on her reading glasses, she looked carefully and saw that the two people didn't look fake. She asked, "What are you doing here?"
"Let's go find Xiaomei to find out more about the situation."
The old lady protected Xiaomei behind her: "She is so young, what can she understand?"
Xiaomei asked: "Are you really police officers? Why aren't you wearing police uniforms?"
Lu Changfeng explained: "Not all police officers are required to wear police uniforms. Uncle is one of those people who doesn't need to wear police uniforms all the time."
Xiaomei said "oh", but she didn't really understand.
Jing Jue said to Xiao Mei’s grandmother: “Grandma, when questioning minors, an adult must be present. Don’t worry, we are not bad guys.”
Grandma Xiaomei was wary of them, but she still made tea for them.
"What do you want to ask?"
Lu Changfeng thought for a moment and said to Xiaomei's grandmother, "Grandma, we don't mean to offend you. We are indeed investigating the case. We want to give you a heads-up first."
Grandma Xiaomei hugged Xiaomei and nodded.
Lu Changfeng then asked Xiaomei: "Uncle, can I ask you a question?"
Xiaomei hummed.
Lu Changfeng asked again: "Then can Xiaomei promise to uncle that she will never tell lies?"
"I don't tell lies."
"Okay, uncle believes Xiaomei won't lie." Then he began to ask: "Xiaomei, uncle understands that the garbage collector Wang often touches you, right?"
Xiaomei nodded: "Yes."
Xiaomei's grandmother's expression changed instantly: "What does this mean?"
"Auntie, please be patient. I will explain it to you later. Now I want to finish asking my question. Is that ok?"
Grandma Xiaomei suppressed her emotions and nodded in agreement.
Lu Changfeng asked again: "How did he touch you? Do you remember? Who was there at the time?"
Xiaomei said: "Just hold me like this, and then put your hand under my skirt and touch me."
Xiaomei's grandmother's expression changed completely and she asked Xiaomei, "Is everything you said true? Xiaomei, tell grandma."
Lele said: "Grandma Ouyang, Xiaomei didn't lie. Uncle Wang really touched Xiaomei, and he also touched me."
Xiaomei's grandmother was very shocked, "How could he do that? We have known each other for decades."
Xiaomei asked her grandmother: "Did you remember it wrongly?"
Xiaomei said firmly: "He didn't just touch me, he also touched Lele, Xixi, and Yaya."
"Then why didn't you tell grandma?"
Xiaomei said aggrievedly: "I told you, you said he touched me because he liked me. I said he touched my butt, and you said it was normal, because he liked me, so he touched my butt."
Grandma Xiaomei thought about it carefully and it seemed to be true. She explained to Lu Changfeng and Jing Jue: "The child didn't explain clearly when he came back, and he thought it was just a touch. Children are more sensitive, so I didn't take it seriously."
Lele also told his mother about this problem, but his mother did not take it seriously.
Xiaomei said aggrievedly: "I told a lot of people about this, but you all just laughed it off and no one cared about me."
Xiaomei's grandmother sighed, "To be honest, I also find it unbelievable now. Uncle Wang is over 70 years old. Who would associate it with molestation? He just likes children. When we were working in the factory before, if someone was too busy to take care of their children, wouldn't they leave them in the factory duty room and ask him to help take care of them?"
Xiaomei's grandmother said: "I used to be a cook in the factory. To be honest, the factory used to have production targets, and we worked in two shifts, day and night. We really didn't have that much time to pick up the children from school. Even if we had time to pick them up, we didn't have time to send them home to cook and watch them do their homework. The factory also took our difficulties into consideration and allowed us parents to take turns to pick up the children, put them in the security room, pay the factory for meals, and take the children home to rest when we get off work at night. Uncle Wang helped us take care of them. In all these years, I have never heard any child say that he was molested by Uncle Wang."
Lu Changfeng asked: "Is it possible that the children said it, but you didn't remember it, or didn't take it seriously?"
Because Grandpa Wang has the image of a good guy, people around him have known him for at least decades. Lele and Xiaomei are at most five or six years old this year. Children of their age are considered to be liars in people's minds. Younger children are simply ignorant and may not react if they are touched. If an older child is touched, he or she will scream and shout, which can easily attract other people's attention.
For example, when Xiaobao was just over one year old, he would be touched every time he met Uncle Wang. However, Xiaobao's grandparents did not think that Uncle Wang's behavior was indecent assault on Xiaobao at all. They just thought that Uncle Wang was teasing the child.
Children at this stage are just beginning to learn and have no idea about the names of their professions.
In their eyes, molestation and touching have the same meaning; the difference lies in where the touching takes place.
For example, touching the waist, face, buttocks, and private parts.
They can only describe that they were touched, but cannot use more serious obscene words to tell adults what happened to them.
The adults had preconceived ideas, because Uncle Wang already had a fixed image and character in their minds, so they naturally wouldn't think of it in an obscene direction, and would just think that it was an old man joking with children.
If a stranger touched a child's butt, they would definitely be alert.
When a crime is committed by someone you know, it is easy for people to let down their guard.
Lu Changfeng asked Xiaomei: "Where does he usually touch you most?"
Xiaomei said: "Sometimes it's in a small square, sometimes he would stop me when we met on the road and pick me up and touch me. He would also ask me what color underwear I was wearing."
Xiaomei's grandmother asked: "Why didn't you tell her?"
Xiaomei said: "I told grandpa, and he said that next time I see him, if he asks again, I can lift it up and show it to him."
Xiaomei milk/milk: "..."
Lu Changfeng, Jing Jue: "..."
Xiaomei's grandfather was completely unaware that his granddaughter might have been sexually harassed.
Lu Changfeng asked: "Did you follow your grandfather's instructions and lift it up for him to see?"
Xiaomei shook her head firmly: "I won't show it to him. The teacher said that no matter whether you are a boy or a girl, you can't expose your privacy casually."
"Girls can't go into the men's restroom, and boys can't go into the women's restroom."
Lu Changfeng felt that the teachers in their kindergarten were quite good and had done a good job in educating children about gender.
Lu Changfeng said to Xiaomei: "You should listen to your teacher more. Don't lift up your skirt to show others what color underwear you are wearing. Don't go out to play on the street alone, and don't go with strangers. You must stay with adults."
Xiaomei nodded: "I'll remember. I won't follow bad people."
Xiaomei's grandmother asked Lu Changfeng: "Officer, you came to Xiaomei to ask about this matter. Did Uncle Wang do this?"
"Auntie, we are still in the investigation stage. These things have not yet been determined. If we have a conclusion, we will definitely make it public."
Grandma Xiaomei has listened to what has been said to this point, so it is not appropriate to ask any more questions.
Lu Changfeng looked at Xiaomei: "Xiaomei, can you promise your uncle that you didn't lie in what you said today?"
Xiaomei nodded: "I promise, I really didn't lie. If I lied, you can turn me into a little cat."
"Okay, then uncle believes that you are not lying."
Lu Changfeng stood up, said goodbye to Xiaomei and her grandmother, and went to the next house.
Xixi lives in the apartment building opposite Xiaomei.
Sissi is at home with her mother.
When Lu Changfeng knocked on the door, Xixi's mother was holding a child in her arms. It seemed to be Xixi's brother or sister, but the child was too young to tell the gender.
"Who are you looking for?"
Lu Changfeng showed his police ID and said, "Hello, ma'am. We are police officers. We are here to find a little girl named Xixi to talk to her about something."
Xixi's mother felt strange: "Looking for Xixi?"
"Yes, we are investigating another case, and there are some questions I want to verify with Xixi."
Xixi's mother turned around and asked Xixi: "What did you do to make the police come to your house?"
Sissi was so scared that she hid behind her mother. She didn't know what she had done.
Lu Changfeng quickly explained: "Don't get me wrong, we just want to find out what happened to Xixi. She did nothing wrong."
Besides, she is just a child, what can she do?
Mother Sissi was exhausted from carrying the child, so she asked them to come into the house.
After entering the house, Lu Changfeng discovered that there was another child in the room, playing with toys. The child looked one or two years younger than Xixi.
The floor was full of toys. Xixi's mother asked Xixi to put the things away, asked Lu Changfeng and the others to sit down, and said to them: "I'm sorry, there are three children in the house, and it's a bit messy. We don't have time to clean up."
Lele squatted down sensibly to help clean up, and Jing Jue also squatted down to help. He had big hands, so he picked up all the toys in just a few moves.
Sissi's mother asked, "What do you want to see Sissi for?"
Lu Changfeng looked at Xixi. Xixi was very timid and hid behind her mother, not daring to look at them.
Lu Changfeng didn't know how to start the conversation for a moment.
Jing Jue said, "This is what happened. We were investigating a case and learned something. We came to verify it with Xixi."
He looked at Sissi and said, "Brother is not a bad person, Sissi, you don't have to be afraid."
Lele also helped to speak up, "Brother is a very good person, Xixi, don't be afraid."
Jing Jue asked Xixi: "Do you know Mr. Wang who picks up garbage?"
When he was mentioned, Xixi became a little scared and hid behind her mother again.
Lu Changfeng asked Xixi: "Why are you afraid of Uncle Wang?"
Sissi whispered, "He's a bad guy."
"What's wrong with him? Tell your uncle. I'm a policeman. Didn't your teacher tell you that the police are there to catch bad guys?"
Sissi nodded and mustered up the courage to say, "He always touches me."
