The policeman was so angry that he laughed: "Were you forced?"
Lao Pu's eyes dodged, but he remained firm: "Ah, I...I don't want to either, officer."
The police officer snorted and pointed at the case file on the table and said, "But you later told Zhang Daqiang, Wang Mingli, Xiao Yuanshan, Wu Zheng and others that this is not what you said."
Old Pu was stunned. At this moment, he really wanted to slap himself in the face. He remembered that it was all because of his careless mouth. Why couldn't he control himself? He dared to blow anything out loud!
Old Pu was dispirited this time. "Officer, if I admit it, how many years will I be sentenced to?"
The police replied, "The sentence depends on the court. Rape is generally sentenced to between three and ten years. If you plead guilty and have a good attitude, we will plead for leniency with the judge, as appropriate."
I heard that the maximum sentence could be ten years. Lao Pu didn't want to admit it anymore. He adjusted himself to look sincere and said, "Officer, there is actually a hidden story behind this. What I said to Zhang Daqiang and the others was just drunken bragging. Don't take it seriously. The woman surnamed Zhao was really drugged by her husband Hu Yitong.
Because he owed me 8,000 yuan for gambling debts and couldn't pay it back, so he asked me to lend him his wife to sleep with him for one night and asked me to settle the debt. Well, we were brothers, so I couldn't refuse him. He had given his wife the drug, and he was still keeping watch outside at the time.
Seriously, Mr. Officer, if you arrest him and question him, you'll find out. I'm at most an accomplice, and he's the mastermind."
The police directly shattered his expectations: "Hu Yitong has been dead for almost two years. What other evidence do you have for your statement?"
Lao Pu didn't believe it: "Dead? How could he be dead?"
......
In the end, the case entered the trial stage.
On the day of the trial, at the plaintiff's request, the case was not heard in public. In court, Ling Shuang appeared in the plaintiff's seat. She was dressed in a smart and appropriate makeup, and her aura looked very powerful. If it weren't for the lawyer's reminder, Lao Pu would not even recognize her.
He was full of evil intentions and looked Zhao Yaping up and down. In fact, he was very proud of himself: being able to sleep with a woman like this would be worth it even if he was sentenced to several years in prison.
He had no repentance.
It was not until the plaintiff's lawyer stated in his statement of the case that Park Wanchun committed intentional rape, causing the plaintiff Zhao Yaping to become pregnant and later give birth to a premature son, that...
He couldn't hear what was said afterwards.
All he heard was that he had a child! In this world, he had a child!
Regardless of the judge and lawyer's attempts to stop him, he emotionally roared in the courtroom: "Where is the child? Where is the child? Where is my son?"
His response was the suppression by the bailiffs and the judge's decision to adjourn the trial.
Later, Ling Shuang did not attend the subsequent court hearings. She authorized her lawyer to represent her fully. In fact, there was no controversy in this case, and Lao Pu quickly pleaded guilty.
He was sentenced to eight years in prison for multiple crimes. He is already old. When he is released after eight years, he will probably not be able to do anything. He has to sell his house in his hometown and has no savings left. There is not much difference between being alive and being dead.
The lawyer reported that Park Wanchun had requested to see Zhao Yaping several times, but Ling Shuang had refused. The criminal received the punishment he deserved, and the matter was now closed with her.
If you ask about that child, it can be considered the cause of the tragedy of Zhao Yaping and her daughter in the previous life...
That year, Zhao Yaping brought Hu Guile to K City and rented a small house to settle down. She was diligent and soon found a job. Although the salary was not high, it was barely enough to meet daily life. She also sent Hu Guile to a junior high school for children of migrant workers.
Although she experienced the blow of divorce and rape, she did not lose her confidence in life. She thought that she was still young and had a long way to go in the future. Besides, her daughter was a good student. If she worked hard for a few more years and sent her child to college, her life would have some hope.
But who would have thought that one day, she found out that she was pregnant, and the child was Park Wanchun's. Because before and after the accident, she had been separated from Hu Yitong for more than half a year because he refused to repent of his gambling.
Zhao Yaping was no longer able to raise another child, and she also didn't want to give birth to a child with original sin. She quickly made the decision to secretly abort the child and pretend that what happened that night had never happened.
But after going to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor said that the baby was already six months old and had taken human shape, making abortion unsuitable and requiring induced labor. However, the pregnant woman's physical condition was too poor and induced labor might cause heavy bleeding in her, so the hospital refused to perform the operation on her.
Zhao Yaping was also in a dilemma. The doctor described the situation as very bad, and she was also afraid that if she found a small black clinic for a forced abortion, there would really be two deaths. She still had a daughter to take care of, and she couldn't take the risk.
While she was hesitating, the fetus grew to more than 8 months. She wore loose clothes to hide her figure, and even her daughter could not tell that she was pregnant. During this period, she went to work as usual, competing for the hardest physical work. Her colleagues thought she was a kind and capable person, but they did not know that she was trying to get rid of this evil child through revenge.
When the fetus was 34 weeks pregnant, she fell in the rental house and the child was born. At that time, Hu Guile had already gone to school and she was the only one at home.
Because she had experience of giving birth at home twice before, she gritted her teeth to deliver the placenta, cut the umbilical cord, and dealt with the amniotic fluid and blood. After only a short rest, she secretly carried the child out the door.
She abandoned the child outside the back door of the orphanage on the outskirts of K City, then stumbled back to the rental house. Whether the child lived or died depended entirely on his luck.
Unexpectedly, all of this was seen by one person. As soon as Zhao Yaping returned home, the man knocked on the door. In his arms, he was holding the baby she had just abandoned.
The man who came was Wang Jiangang. He was wearing a dirty work suit and held the child carefully in his hands. His expression was surprisingly serious. He asked Zhao Yaping why she had abandoned the child. Did she know that abandoning a child was a crime?
Zhao Yaping was afraid of being seen, so she hurriedly pulled him into the house. Looking at the child who had been lost and returned, Zhao Yaping broke down and burst into tears.
She sobbed and told Wang Jiangang about the child's background and her own difficulties. She couldn't say why, but she was so fragile at that time and just felt that Wang Jiangang was a good man worthy of trust.
This "good man" really thought of a solution for her. Wang Jiangang said that he could understand her difficulties and would help her take the child away soon. He would find a good family to adopt the child and told her not to worry.
