Chapter 49: Young Man’s Lament 27: Helping the Tyrant
Chapter 27
"Because she asked me for money and I didn't give her money, she threatened me and said I raped her, forcing me to give her money."
Ding Wenbo said angrily: "Because of her slander, I was almost sent to jail by her. If I had known she would call the police, I would have given her money when she asked me for it."
Lu Changfeng: "If that's the case, why do you tolerate your wife giving her money?"
Ding Wenbo said: "Even if I give her money to get rid of her, I will have to face her making trouble with me again in the future. I can't afford to lose face as a person."
Lu Changfeng: "Rape cases are public prosecution cases. She suddenly changed her confession, played tricks on the police and the court, and slandered you. The police and the court can completely hold her accountable for wasting energy to report a false alarm, constituting the crime of false accusation and framing. It is very likely that she will be sentenced to three years in prison. If it is true as you said, she accused you of rape in order to extort money, why did she suddenly change her confession the day before the trial when she did not receive a penny from you? This is totally unreasonable."
"Maybe she suddenly came to her senses and didn't want to slander me anymore, and she still has feelings for me."
Lu Changfeng's gaze fell on Ding Wenbai's face. He didn't look like the type who could arouse the emotions of a young woman as beautiful as a school belle.
Ding Wenbo was obviously a little unconfident and touched the big gold watch on his wrist, meaning that he was indeed average, but he had money, and Qian Jiawen was a gold digger who was with him purely for money.
Lu Changfeng thought to himself: Your taste is just average.
It's not like he hasn't seen what rich people are like. With just a wave of his hand, Qiu Shaoyang can donate a building to the government.
Qiu Shaoyang never wears a gold watch on his wrist.
Lu Changfeng then showed him the photo, "Can you recognize who it is?"
Ding Wenbo first pointed to the lawyer he had just identified, and then identified them one by one: "This is me, my wife, and Qian Jiawen."
Lu Changfeng turned around to get the computer and played the video they made in front of Ding Wenbai.
When Ding Wenbo saw Dai Yandong meet Qian Jiawen before the trial and threaten her to change her testimony by using Qian Jiawen's parents, he immediately said, "I had no idea about this. Dai Yandong did it on his own initiative. I didn't ask him to threaten Qian Jiawen."
Lu Changfeng: "Do you know that he met Qian Jiawen privately?"
Ding Wenbo immediately shook his head: "I don't know, I don't know anything about this."
"Then do you know that your nephew Sun Ji'an raped a female student at the Qingyun Villa Resort, which is under your name?"
"Is this true?" Ding Wenbo looked at Lu Changfeng with a puzzled look, "It's impossible. My nephew had a car accident a long time ago and is now lying in the hospital, a vegetable."
Lu Changfeng said, "We have multiple witnesses who have identified your nephew as the one who raped the female student. Lou Xingning and Dai Yandong represented the Sun family in communicating with the family of the raped female student, and compensated them so that they would keep quiet."
Ding Wenbo didn't react after hearing this, and he wasn't surprised. "You said my nephew raped a female student. My nephew is now a vegetable. Lou Xingning has fled abroad and even abandoned his wife and children. There is no way to verify this. Even if this happened, they never mentioned it to me, so how would I know about it?"
"The manager of Qingyun Resort at that time was Luo Can, the younger brother of your current wife Luo Xianning."
"Although the resort is under my name, I don't manage it. If you want to investigate this matter, you should find Luo Can." Ding Wenbai looked at Lu Changfeng innocently, "Officer, these things have nothing to do with me."
Lu Changfeng turned the topic back to the case where Ding Wenbo was accused of sexual assault, pointing to the computer screen, "This matter must be closely related to you. This painting was painted by Qian Jiawen herself. I think you can understand the content of the painting. The fact that the case was able to reach the public prosecution stage is enough to show that the evidence at the time was sufficient. Qian Jiawen changed her confession and the trial was not held. She was taken back to the police for further investigation. If Dai Yandong really found Qian Jiawen privately and threatened her with her parents to change her confession, it means that she did not change her confession on her own initiative but was forced to do so by the situation. If she had not changed her confession at the time and still insisted on accusing you of rape, according to the normal process, you should be sentenced for rape and reformed in prison now."
"I really don't know anything about this. I didn't rape Qian Jiawen. Who can explain this kind of thing?" Ding Wenbai was a little angry that Lu Changfeng kept harping on these things. "Even if this is true, Dai Yandong privately found Qian Jiawen to threaten her to change her confession. What does it have to do with me? It wasn't me who found Qian Jiawen. This was his personal behavior. You should go find Dai Yandong instead of interrogating me."
Lu Changfeng nodded, with an expression that showed he agreed with what he said: "You are indeed the beneficiary. If Dai Yandong admits that he did it, the case will be reopened. As a criminal suspect in the case, it is reasonable for our police to ask you to cooperate with the investigation."
After saying that, Lu Changfeng left with Yue Fanglin.
Jing Jue heard that Lu Changfeng's voice sounded a little stressed, so he quickly went to get some water for Lu Changfeng.
As soon as the two of them reached the corridor, cups of water were stuffed into their hands.
Wang Qi asked Lu Changfeng: "What are you going to do next?"
Lu Changfeng said: "We still have evidence on Dai Yandong's side that we can't use. Judging from Ding Wenbo's attitude, he must be trying to deny the matter completely. This can be used as a good breakthrough to pry Dai Yandong's mouth open."
"But what if Dai Yandong takes all the blame?" Jing Jue asked.
Yue Fanglin gave the answer, "He has to bear the consequences. He was involved in the Jiang Yue case and also in the Qian Jiawen case. He was suspected of obstructing testimony in both cases and was also suspected of participating in threatening Fang Shengjie's personal safety. These are enough to keep him in jail for six to seven years."
After a short rest, Lu Changfeng went with Yue Fanglin to interrogate Dai Yandong.
One hour and five minutes had passed since the last inquiry.
Lu Changfeng and Dai Yandong said: "We just finished interrogating Ding Wenbo, and he said that you did everything and it had nothing to do with him."
Dai Yandong looked at Lu Changfeng for a while before confirming that Lu Changfeng was not trying to blast him, which meant that Ding Wenbo really said so.
Dai Yandong was about to speak, but Lu Changfeng interrupted him and spoke first, "Have you seen this girl?"
Lu Changfeng stood up and showed Dai Yandong the photo of Jiang Yue.
Dai Yandong shook his head three seconds after seeing Jiang Yue's photo: "I don't know her."
"Let me remind you, the girl in the photo is Jiang Yue, she lives in Bailong Town, she has good grades, and her father is Jiang Hai, you have met him."
Dai Yandong thought about it and still shook his head: "I don't remember, maybe I have seen it."
Lu Changfeng collected the photos, returned to the interrogation table and sat down, staring at Dai Yandong with a sharp gaze, as if he could see through him. "This girl was tricked by Sun Ji'an into going to Qingyun Villa Resort on the pretext of participating in the Mathematical Olympiad, where Sun Ji'an raped her. The teacher who accompanied Jiang Yue to the resort was named Fang Shengjie. You threatened him not to call the police, otherwise you would hurt his family. You and Lou Xingning found his father and promised to give him a sum of money so that he could persuade Jiang Yue not to call the police. If he insisted on calling the police, you would hurt Jiang Yue's family. Under your threat, Fang Shengjie resigned from the school and was driven away. Jiang Hai accepted the benefits you promised and did not call the police. He also gave Jiang Yue to Sun Ji'an..."
Dai Yandong shook his head and denied: "I don't know this girl at all, nor do I know the Jiang Hai and Fang Shengjie you mentioned."
Lu Changfeng: "Do you know why we ran into you? We were investigating a case and found Jiang Yue, and then we found you. On the day you and Lou Xingning went to the town, many people saw you. Jiang Hai confessed himself, and Fang Shengjie testified. We also have evidence that Sun Ji'an raped Jiang Yue. All of this is enough to keep you in jail for a long time."
When Dai Yandong heard what Lu Changfeng said, he was obviously a little panicked.
Seeing his reaction, Lu Changfeng was no longer panicked. "Some things are not useful just because you deny them. If there is sufficient evidence, your denial will not affect the court's decision. As a lawyer, you should know this better than me."
"We have reason to suspect that in order to protect Ding Wenbai, you threatened Qian Jiawen privately and used the lives of her family to force her to change her confession. After all, this is your usual method."
Lu Changfeng also revealed an additional piece of news to him, "This morning we took Fang Shengjie's parents away from the city and successfully arrested two suspects. This confirmed what Fang Shengjie said. Someone was threatening him with his parents and not letting him tell the truth."
Lu Changfeng paused and observed Dai Yandong's reaction opposite him.
It was obvious from Dai Yandong's face that he was no longer calm.
"In addition, we found out that after Ding Wenbo's first wife Ye Yingjun discovered that Ding Wenbo had cheated on her, Ding Wenbo signed a marital property agreement with her. The agreement stated that the couple's marital property did not specify how much property they owned, nor did it make a specific breakdown. It only stated that the marital property belonged to the woman. This agreement was drafted by you. As a lawyer, you used a vague marital property agreement to make the property between the two unclear, which would indirectly harm the woman's interests when they divorced."
Faced with Lu Changfeng's continuous questioning, Dai Yandong was unable to withstand it and began to avoid Lu Changfeng's sight.
"I looked at your family members' information. You have a daughter who is in junior high school. She is about the same age as Jiang Yue. When you helped Sun Ji'an threaten the Jiang family and Fang Shengjie not to call the police, did you ever think about your daughter for a moment?"
Dai Yandong lowered his head, no longer daring to look Lu Changfeng in the eye.
He covered his face with his hands.
"As a lawyer, you have absolutely no professional ethics, you have violated your original intention, you have aided the evildoers, and you have become an accomplice for others to escape punishment. Deputy lawyer, what if Sun Ji'an bullied your daughter? Your daughter is also very beautiful, as cute as Qian Jiawen. When Qian Jiawen was sexually assaulted by Ding Wenbo, she was only 18 years old."
"I found a short essay your daughter published in a campus magazine. It was about my father. In her essay, you are a very outstanding person. You came out of the mountains step by step through hard study and passed the exam. You changed your destiny by studying law. The reason you chose law was that the migrant workers in the village could not get their wages. You thought that if there was a lawyer who could help them, maybe you could get your wages. That's why you chose to become a lawyer. She regards you as a role model. You are her pride."
"What made the dragon-slaying boy turn into a dragon?"
