Chapter 47: Teenager's Lament 25 I Don't Believe
Chapter 25
Under the guidance of the district police, Lu Changfeng and Jing Jue found Qian Jiawen's home.
The Qian family's financial situation was average. Qian's mother had been ill for many years and had to rely on medicine to survive.
This is also why Qian Jiawen works part-time in a bar.
When they saw Qian Jiawen's parents, Lu Changfeng and Jing Jue were both shocked.
Both of them are not yet fifty years old this year, but they have heads full of white hair and look as old as seventy years old.
The two elderly people thought they were here for a census or a community inspection.
When they heard that they came to investigate the case of Qian Jiawen being sexually assaulted by Ding Wenbo, they immediately wanted to drive them out.
"My daughter is already dead, what are you doing here?"
Seeing this, the community policeman could only let Lu Changfeng and Jing Jue go out first, and he stayed in the house to communicate with the two elderly people.
Jing Jue and Lu Changfeng stood in the corridor.
He asked Lu Changfeng: "Don't you want to take me with you?"
"No." Lu Changfeng denied.
Jing Jue didn't ask him along the way, and Lu Changfeng thought he wouldn't ask again.
Jing Jue: “You have.”
Lu Changfeng: "I will teach you what I know, and I won't keep it to myself."
"I didn't say you were hiding something."
Jing Jue said sullenly, "Every time I bring up the subject of love, you push me away harshly."
Lu Changfeng didn't say anything, just listened quietly. He didn't know what to say.
Jing Jue said: "On the one hand, you can't help but be nice to me, but you can't bear to completely abandon me. On the other hand, you don't let me get close to you. If I really leave, you will be sad and don't want me to leave. Don't you think you are very twisted?"
Just as Lu Changfeng was about to speak, the door opened and the police let them in.
Lu Changfeng swallowed his words and went into the house.
Jing Jue's eyes were filled with tears.
When Qian Jiawen's parents saw how aggrieved he looked, they thought they had been too fierce and scared the young policeman.
Qian's mother apologized to Jing Jue, "Little comrade, I didn't mean it to be against you."
Lu Changfeng glanced back at Jing Jue with red eyes. He felt sorry for his aggrieved look and pulled him to his side. He raised his hand and touched Jing Jue's head and said to Qian's mother, "Auntie, it's not your problem. I provoked him."
Qian's mother said, "You are his leader, right?"
Lu Changfeng nodded.
Qian's mother poured them some water and said, "Young comrades are bound to make mistakes, so leaders should be more tolerant."
Lu Changfeng thought to himself, if you knew he wanted to sleep with me, you wouldn’t have been so tolerant of me.
He nodded in agreement, "Auntie is right, I will pay attention to the way of communication."
Lu Changfeng took out the recorder and explained to Qian's parents why he needed to use the recorder. He then began to ask them, "Uncle and aunt, I want to know why your daughter sued Ding Wenbo for sexual assault and then changed her statement."
Qian's mother's eyes welled up with tears as she spoke of this. "She said she was in a relationship with that man, and she was just so angry that she said he raped her."
"Can you tell us again the whole story?"
Qian's mother wiped away her tears with a tissue and said to Lu Changfeng, "One day my daughter came back in a daze and locked herself in the bathroom. She washed her body frantically and even used bleach. I smelled a pungent smell, so I knocked on the doors and saw injuries on her body. After asking, I learned that she had been raped by her boss. I immediately took her to the police. The initial evidence collection went smoothly. Before the trial, my daughter suddenly changed her testimony. I asked her why, and she said that she seduced the man and asked him for money to treat my illness. The man was unwilling to give her money, so she threatened to sue him for rape if he didn't give her the money..."
The more she talked, the more upset Qian's mother became. She covered her face and cried.
Lu Changfeng looked at Qian's mother crying in pain and tried to comfort her.
After a long time, Qian's mother stopped crying and recovered before she continued, "But she is my biological daughter. I have watched her grow up. As a mother, don't I know what kind of person she is? If she really wanted to use such a crooked way to raise money for my medical expenses, why didn't she reject the rich second-generation man who was pursuing her, and choose a man who has a family and is almost as old as his father. My daughter is very beautiful, and there are many people pursuing her."
As Qian's mother spoke, she showed Qian Jiawen's photo to Lu Changfeng and Jing Jue.
Her appearance is indeed outstanding, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is as beautiful as a school belle.
"She is not that kind of person. I also asked her if she had any difficulties or if someone threatened her, but she insisted that she was trying to extort money."
Lu Changfeng asked: "How was her mood afterwards?"
"After she changed her confession, she locked herself in the house and refused to go anywhere. The wife of the man surnamed Ding came to our house and gave us a card with a balance of 500,000 yuan, saying that my daughter should stop bothering her husband. I kicked her out, but my daughter still took her money. I didn't want the money, and my daughter threatened to commit suicide. I underwent surgery to replace my kidney, thinking that when I got better, our family would leave Zhengcheng and start a new life in a place where no one knew us. Unexpectedly, she suddenly committed suicide..."
Speaking of this, Qian's mother felt sad again.
Lu Changfeng still comforted her, but his comfort was as light as a feather.
"I don't believe my daughter would sell her body for money. I don't believe it."
Lu Changfeng asked: "Did she leave a suicide note?"
Qian's mother nodded, stood up and took out the suicide note left by her daughter to show them.
Lu Changfeng took it and read it from beginning to end. The suicide note was written on a single page, and many of the words were blurred. "Were the blurred words there from the beginning?"
Mother Qian nodded.
Judging from the blurred handwriting, it was wet with tears. This suicide note was written by Qian Jiawen while crying.
The general meaning is that she is suffering so much that she can't go on any longer, she is unfilial and can't continue to accompany her parents, she asks her parents to take care of their health and to be their daughter in the next life.
After reading the suicide note, Lu Changfeng asked, "Can I go to your daughter's room to take a look?"
Qian's mother got up and took them to the room, which was kept very clean.
Qian's mother said: "I clean the house regularly and don't let it get dusty. Our family is not well off and I have kidney disease, so I have to take medicine. I haven't bought her too many things and I always feel like I owe her something. Other children had lots of toys and beautiful clothes in their childhood, but we rarely bought her these things."
Lu Changfeng looked at the clothes in the closet and the furnishings on the table, where there was a photo of a family of three.
There is an album in the drawer with many photos, which almost record the entire process of Qian Jiawen's growth. Every year on Qian Jiawen's birthday, there are group photos.
"Even so, you still did your best to prepare a gift for her and celebrate her birthday."
Some parents don't even care about their children's birthdays.
Even though their life was difficult, Mr. and Mrs. Qian would still celebrate their child's birthday.
Qian's mother said: "I didn't know when I would die, so I wanted to leave as many good memories as possible for my child. But I never expected that she would die before me. These memories have become my way of missing her."
Lu Changfeng looked at the beautiful hairband on the table. It was one of the few colorful things that Qian Jiawen owned.
Qian's mother picked up the hairpin, her eyes full of tenderness, "This is the coming-of-age gift she bought for herself. She is also a lovely girl, and she would use this kind of lovely hairpin to decorate herself. There are so many boys chasing after her, but she never accepts any gifts from them. Although our family is poor, we have our own tutor, and my daughter will never extort money. She works in the bar to earn a living."
Lu Changfeng felt uncomfortable after listening to this.
Glancing at a draft book on the table, Lu Changfeng picked it up and flipped through it. There were a lot of drawings in it, and they were quite good.
Qian's mother saw it and said, "My daughter likes painting very much. Her father used to work in a printing factory. Sometimes when he came across a picture book with problems, he would bring it back to her to read. She has a talent for this. Our family doesn't have money, so it would be a good idea to send her to learn painting."
Mother Qian took out a few more books for Lu Changfeng to read, "She taught herself all of them."
Lu Changfeng looked through it and found that the artist was indeed very talented and the paintings were very beautiful.
Jing Jue picked up a book on the table and flipped through it casually. Lu Changfeng's eyes suddenly widened and he reached out to take the book from Jing Jue's hand.
The name of this book is "Life is as Splendid as Summer Flowers".
This sentence originally comes from the 82nd poem "Life is like a Summer Flower" in Tagore's "Stray Birds".
Life is as gorgeous as summer flowers, and death is as quiet and beautiful as autumn leaves.
Jing Jue's blow just now made Lu Changfeng see a continuous animation.
I remember that when Jing Jue was in school, he bought a flip book of Crayon Shin-chan. There was a little man on each page. Jing Jue showed it to him at that time. If you used your hand to scrape it from the side, you would see the whole process of Crayon Shin-chan taking off his pants.
Lu Changfeng opened the book and found that there were drawings on the edges of every page.
When put together, it's a complete dynamic picture, a middle-aged man pressing a young girl on the sofa and raping her, and the girl trying to resist.
Jing Jue quickly picked up all the books on the table and scratched them, and found moving pictures in them.
Putting the stories together, it seems that a middle-aged man molested a young girl. The girl wanted to leave, but was dragged into the room by him. After being assaulted, the girl returned home and her family found out about it. She chose to call the police, but the man strongly denied it. Before the trial, the man threatened the girl with her parents' lives, so the girl had to change her testimony. The man's wife came to give them money, but was driven away by the girl's parents. The girl rushed out to get the money and her mother's illness was treated. The girl could not forget that she was assaulted, but was reluctant to leave her parents. She struggled in pain and eventually committed suicide.
The short and fat middle-aged man with thick lips in the painting corresponds to Ding Wenbo, the girl wearing a cute hairpin in the painting corresponds to Qian Jiawen, and the beautiful woman wearing a big diamond ring and handing money to the girl's parents should be Ding Wenbo's current wife Luo Xianning.
There is also a man in the painting, wearing glasses and with a mole on the peak of his eyebrow. He is the girl whom he threatens with her parents.
Lu Changfeng asked Qian's mother: "After your daughter reported the case to the police and changed her confession, have you ever seen a man wearing glasses and with a mole on his eyebrow?"
Mother Qian thought about it carefully and nodded: "I saw him at the police station the night I called the police. He was with Ding Wenbai and warned my daughter not to slander Ding Wenbai. He is a lawyer."
The characters in the dynamic drawings in these books all have corresponding characters in real life.
Before this, this lawyer had never appeared in their sight.
Lu Changfeng said to Qian's mother, "Auntie, we have to take these books back and return them to you after we have used them. We will try our best to avoid any loss."
Qian's mother also saw the scene and burst into tears: "I know my daughter didn't do that."
"Auntie, I can't promise you anything now. I will tell you if there are any new investigation results."
Mother Qian nodded vigorously, "Okay, you must clear my daughter's name."
This evidence was also very important to Qian's mother. She asked, "Can I record a video?"
Lu Changfeng nodded: "Okay."
Then Qian's mother asked again: "Can we bring you in as well?"
Lu Changfeng realized what she wanted to do and nodded: "Okay."
Qian's mother was afraid that they would take these things away, and if they were destroyed, she would have no evidence.
Leave a video so that you can investigate in the future and have evidence to prove that this thing really existed.
Lu Changfeng told her to record with confidence, and his and Jing Jue's police officer IDs were with them throughout the entire process. Afterwards, Lu Changfeng appeared in the same frame with the book and made a solemn statement, explaining clearly why he took the book, what he was going to do, what time he took it, etc.
Seeing how cooperative they were, Qian's mother was actually quite relieved about them.
I also really hope that they can clear the name of their daughter.
After Lu Changfeng and Jing Jue left the Qian family, they immediately sent a message to Yue Fanglin to share their findings.
This lawyer with a mole on his eyebrow may very well become their breakthrough.
We need to verify his identity first.
