Chapter 424 Xu Liu’s Supporter
On May 12, it rained heavily.
This was the long-awaited rainfall in Hongcheng, which came suddenly and without any warning.
Early this morning, Liang Wei and Ni Jianrong returned to the task force to take charge of the work because there had been some progress in the case.
First, the boss of the construction team that renovated Xiao Bing's house was found. The boss, who had long since changed his career, really couldn't remember Xiao Bing until the police from the task force said they had dug a basement. Then he suddenly realized and said he remembered Xiao Bing.
Because he has been working in decoration for so many years, he has only encountered one request to dig a basement.
He remembered that it was an old town area near Daguan Street, and the person who came to see him was a young man who wore glasses and looked gentle.
When he visited the other party's home, he thought it was a very simple job and quoted a price.
Unexpectedly, the other party proposed to dig a basement under the inner room and even provided a hand-drawn basement size requirement drawing, which even marked the electricity and ventilation requirements.
The contractor was in a difficult position at the time and said that this was not a easy matter to handle.
Firstly, digging a basement privately is illegal. If reported by the neighbors, he will be fined and required to make corrections. He is afraid that if something goes wrong, the other party will argue with him.
Secondly, the other party’s house is an old house with a shallow foundation. Digging a basement would be very risky, and the walls would probably have to be reinforced, which would be a very complicated project.
He said that he actually didn't want to take the job at the time, but the employer directly told him that he could pay double the price, but there were two conditions.
First, it must be kept strictly confidential and the entire process cannot be known to outsiders.
Second, the basement must be absolutely safe and there must be no risk of collapse.
For the sake of money, the contractor took on this strange business and strictly followed the employer's requirements.
During the entire renovation process, the doors and windows were kept closed to prevent outsiders from seeing.
The excavated soil was also pushed to the nearby river bank and dumped by hand using carts at night.
Not only were the basements dug out, but the walls and foundations were also reinforced.
The original project could actually be completed in half a month at most. After all, it was such a small area, and apart from the water and electricity lines, it would just involve laying ceramic tiles on the floor.
But in order to meet the employer's requirements, there was of course suspicion of earning labor fees, and the decoration took a full three months.
Finally, after the employer inspected the work, he readily paid the remaining balance.
He was tactful enough not to ask.
But when the police approached him to find out what had happened, he said in a tone that suggested he'd known it all along: "This guy's a pervert, right? I knew it a long time ago. He's like that, with shifty eyes and glasses pretending to be cultured."
In addition to confirming Xiao Bing's original intention of the renovation, another key point in finding this contractor is to confirm the time of the renovation.
The timeline that can be basically confirmed at present is.
On June 16, 1988, Xin Yunfei, the principal of Kaiping No. 3 Middle School, was arrested for raping Dong Lu.
As a result, Dong Lu was unable to join Kaiping No. 3 Middle School and her subsequent whereabouts are unknown.
But it is speculated that he is probably with Xiao Bing.
Because Dong Lu graduated at the end of June that year, she had been living in the staff dormitory on the campus of Kaiping No. 3 Middle School before that.
Being homeless, she had nowhere to go except Xiao Bing, who was her support.
The last time Dong Lu appeared was more than a year later.
In October 1989, it was her birthday, so she took her boyfriend Xiao Bing back to the welfare home to celebrate it.
Zhou Yi believes that over the past year or so, Dong Lu has probably been trying to overcome her psychological barriers and get out of the shadow of the rape case.
On her birthday in 1989, most likely after she had adjusted her condition, Xiao Bing hoped that she could return to normal life, so he took the opportunity of her birthday to go back to the welfare home with her.
But strangely, this was also the last time she appeared in the welfare home, and there has been no news of her since then.
The contractor said that Xiao Bing approached him to ask for the renovation time, which was early March 1990, and it was not completed until the end of May.
So Xiao Bing's decision to dig a basement in early March at least meant that Dong Lu's life was saved and out of danger at that time.
With burns of this degree, it would take at least a month for the patient to be sent to the hospital and out of danger.
So based on this information, we can basically narrow down the time when Dong Lu was burned to between October 1989 and February 1990.
Something happened during these three or four months that caused Dong Lu to suffer severe burns.
After searching through all the civil case records without success, Qiao Jiali had no choice but to continue looking through the police records.
Dong Lu's photo was sent via email to Xiao Bing's university friend Wu Zhonghua on the other side of the ocean for identification. He quickly replied to the email and confirmed that Dong Lu was the girl he had seen waiting for Xiao Bing.
In other words, the relationship between Dong Lu and Xiao Bing may have started earlier than imagined.
But without finding any clues of burns, the investigation could not continue.
Xiao Bing and Dong Lu haven't found anyone for such a long time, especially Dong Lu. Her appearance should easily attract other people's attention, and her physical and mental conditions are unstable.
How could Xiao Bing disappear with her during the police raid?
Did anyone help them?
But in the investigation so far, no one has been found to have such a close relationship with the two of them.
This line of inquiry can only be put on hold until some clues can be found in Qiao Jiali's police records.
Another line of information comes from the people who were sent to Xu Liu’s hometown Huaixing. They brought news that they found the man who supported Xu Liu!
There were two members of the special task force sent to Huaixing, one of whom was He Bin, a capable subordinate of Shi Tao.
After arriving in Huaixing, He Bin first visited the high school where Xu Liu attended to conduct an investigation and understand Xu Liu's interpersonal relationships in high school.
In particular, are there any males who are close to you, not limited to classmates, teachers or parents.
When the head teacher mentioned Xu Liu, he still said in a very regretful tone that he was a good seedling and it was a pity.
For a class teacher, it would be a great honor if one of her students could be admitted to Peking University or Tsinghua University. After all, these days, not only can famous teachers produce outstanding students, but outstanding students can also become famous teachers.
But obviously, He Bin discovered that the head teacher did not actually know much about Xu Liu's family situation, and what she cared about most was Xu Liu's "failure in the exam."
This is bound to make people sigh. The teacher only cares about grades, as if that is everything.
As for which men Xu Liu was close to, the class teacher couldn't explain it.
In the end, He Bin took the initiative to ask for a piece of information, which was the list and information of Xu Liu's deskmate in high school and roommates in the same dormitory.
With this information, He Bin began to contact them one by one.
Although Xu Liu went to work in Huaixing City during the summer vacation after the college entrance examination, Huaixing is so big and almost a year has passed. It is impossible for two people to go door to door with Xu Liu's photo and ask. They still have to find clues skillfully.
Fortunately, through contacting and asking one by one, we finally got some clues.
Xu Liu had a roommate named Huang Ying, who had a good relationship with Xu Liu when they were in high school.
According to Huang Ying herself, Xu Liu is usually a little proud because he has good grades and is the class monitor.
But she is actually not a bad person. Their relationship started when Xu Liu took the initiative to explain to her a problem that she couldn't solve no matter how hard she tried. After that, she often asked Xu Liu for help with her studies, and Xu Liu never refused.
It was because of Xu Liu's help that her academic performance improved significantly. Although she only got an ordinary second-tier university in the end, she and her family were very satisfied.
When He Bin asked Huang Ying, who was studying in another place, about Xu Liu's interpersonal relationships in high school on the phone.
Huang Ying said, "No... not really. She's such a good student that all the teachers think highly of her. Plus, she's a bit arrogant, so boys don't dare approach her. In her second year of high school, a boy from the class next door wrote her a love letter, but she tore it up in public without even reading it. Since then, no one has shown interest in her."
So it can be seen that Xu Liu's arrogance actually started in high school.
After all, in a school where only scores matter, studying well really represents everything.
Xu Liu is the kind of top student who has been good at studying since childhood.
But Huang Ying was more aware of Xu Liu's unusual behavior in the months leading up to the Gaokao than her homeroom teacher. She said Xu Liu's demeanor at the time gave her a bad feeling. One evening, Xu Liu didn't attend self-study classes. She assumed he wasn't feeling well, so she ran back to the dormitory to check on him while she was using the restroom.
Before I even opened the door, I heard a soft cry coming from inside the house.
She didn't dare make a sound and tiptoed away.
When they came back from evening self-study, they found Xu Liu already sleeping facing the wall. She asked if she was feeling unwell, and Xu Liu replied that she had her period and had a stomachache.
Later, after the college entrance examination, they left school.
Then I heard that Xu Liu failed the college entrance examination.
Of course, even if Xu Liu lost, the score was still a result that ordinary people like them could hardly achieve.
On July 29, 1996, the third day after the college entrance examination results came out, Huang Ying received a call from Xu Liu.
Xu Liu asked her cautiously on the phone if he could stay at her house for a few days.
Huang Ying was very surprised at the time because she didn't expect Xu Liu to contact her on his own initiative.
It happened that her parents were on a business trip at that time, and she and her grandmother were the only ones at home. They were bored, so they readily agreed and gave Xu Liu their address.
This is probably the irony.
After leaving school and leaving the environment where only grades matter, everyone returns to their own world.
Xu Liu's family lives in a town in Huaixing, a famous poor county.
Huang Ying's family lives in Huaixing City. Her parents run their own business and their family is considered well-off in the local area.
As for why she, a girl from the city, would go to a poor county to attend high school, the reason was very simple. Her high school entrance examination results were not ideal, and were a few points short of the minimum admission score for the city's high schools. So her parents spent money to find someone to use their connections, and finally she was admitted to the county high school where Xu Liu was studying as a premium student.
So she finally got into an ordinary second-tier university in the college entrance examination, and she and her family were very satisfied.
Huang Ying said that Xu Liu came in the evening of that day, wearing high school uniform and carrying a schoolbag.
When she enthusiastically pulled her into the house and gave her slippers to change into, the originally arrogant top student stood at the door looking at the luxurious decoration of Huang Ying's house, feeling a little at a loss.
Perhaps at that moment, the impact of reality on her was greater than her parents' efforts to prevent her from going to school.
Huang Ying said on the phone that she didn't think there was anything wrong with Xu Liu at the time, because she was a carefree person by nature. She cut watermelon for Xu Liu and looked at her collection of various star posters and tapes, etc. Xu Liu, on the other hand, changed her arrogance at school and sat there nodding frequently.
It was not until the evening, when she was having dinner, that she remembered to ask Xu Liu why he came to the city and whether he came here to have fun. She began to count on her fingers and list all the fun places in the city.
Xu Liu ate the rice in the bowl in small bites without responding.
At night, in Huang Ying's room, Huang Ying said that she found Xu Liu looking up blankly at the air conditioner that was blowing cool air. Then she belatedly remembered what happened during the evening study session that day and asked her if something had happened.
Xu Liu did not give a direct answer, but just stared at the air conditioner and said blankly: This is the first time I have used air conditioning in my life, it is really comfortable.
Huang Ying was carefree and replied casually, "Air conditioners are not rare things. It's just that our school is too stingy and doesn't even allow us to install them. It's so hot."
In the middle of the night, Huang Ying woke up from her sleep in a daze and seemed to hear Xu Liu, who was sleeping on the floor next to her, sobbing softly.
She thought she was dreaming, so she turned over and continued to sleep.
When He Bin was describing these details, everyone in the task force felt mixed emotions.
The helplessness and bitterness of having one's self-esteem ruthlessly trampled upon by reality is truly heartbreaking.
This may be the turning point that led Xu Liu to his later path.
Zhou Yi, in particular, felt extremely heavy-hearted because he didn't know whether Xu Liu died because of him.
After all, in this life, Xu Liu replaced Lu Xiaoshuang and became the victim of the Hongda case.
But the question is, what details did his appearance change, causing Xu Liu to become a scapegoat?
If it wasn't because of me, why did Xu Liu survive in his previous life?
He Bin continued to describe the investigation process on the phone.
Huang Ying told him that Xu Liu told her the truth the morning after Xu Liu came to her house, when she was excitedly planning where to go for fun.
Xu Liu said that he came to the city to find a part-time job, hoping to make some money during this month's break to reduce the burden on his family.
She also said that she would not bother her for too long and would go out to look for a job today, one that would provide food and accommodation, and she would leave once she found one.
Huang Ying said that she was stunned at the time, because she had no worries about food and clothing and she had never thought of having to work to earn money.
But after coming to her senses, she generously asked Xu Liu if she could call her parents and ask them to help Xu Liu find a job.
But Xu Liu immediately declined politely, and hesitantly said that she hoped she could keep this matter confidential and not tell her classmates and teachers.
Huang Ying said that although she was not good at studying, she was not stupid. She understood what Xu Liu meant at that time and promised her that she would never tell anyone.
That afternoon, Xu Liu came back, sweating profusely, and said that she had found a job that provided food and accommodation, which would last for just one month. After a month, she would go to Hongcheng to attend university.
Huang Ying originally wanted to keep her, but she hurriedly said that she just came back to get something and had to go to work in the evening because she was working at a hot pot restaurant.
Fortunately, Huang Ying was careful enough to ask the name of the hot pot restaurant, which gave He Bin a clear target for subsequent investigation.
Huang Ying said that since then, she has never seen Xu Liu again, nor has she contacted Xu Liu.
However, she kept her promise and didn't tell anyone about Xu Liu.
Based on the clues provided by Huang Ying, He Bin found the hot pot restaurant.
After seeing Xu Liu's photo, the boss recognized her at a glance and said he remembered this girl.
The boss's next words startled He Bin.
The boss said: It’s the girl who stole things from customers.
He Bin quickly asked what was going on.
The owner of the hot pot restaurant said that Xu Liu came to the hot pot restaurant at the end of July last year. It was afternoon and not meal time so it was not busy.
After she came in, she pointed to the recruitment notice posted at the door and asked if they were still hiring part-time workers. Then the front desk clerk took her to see the boss.
She said she had been admitted to university and wanted to work and earn some money in the month before school started because her family was in a difficult financial situation.
The boss said that he didn't want her originally because she was too young and had no experience. Moreover, he wanted to hire a long-term worker, and it would be too troublesome to have to hire another person after she worked for a month.
She had originally refused, but the boss felt sorry for her as a young girl, so he asked her how many points she had taken the test and which university she went to.
Unexpectedly, Xu Liu took out the college entrance examination transcript and a large admission notice from the compartment of her schoolbag. When the boss saw her grades and the school she attended, he felt that she was a really good student, so he felt pity for her and kept her.
Moreover, the salary was given as that of a regular employee. Then Xu Liu asked whether the store provided food and accommodation. The boss said that the food was simple, but there were dormitories, but the conditions were a little worse.
Xu Liu waved his hands and said it was okay, as long as there was a place to live.
Then the boss took her to see the staff dormitory. It was called a dormitory, but it was actually an old house in the alley behind the hot pot restaurant. The wall bricks were exposed and the walls had not even been painted. There were five iron bunk beds densely packed in the room, and you could hardly see anything without turning on the lights.
He Bin asked his boss to take him to see the dormitory. As soon as he entered, he was suffocated by a strange and dull smell in the room, as if the air had turned into a sticky liquid.
The boss said that after Xu Liu saw the conditions, she immediately said that she could do it. Then the boss took her back to the hot pot restaurant, registered her ID information, and asked her to start work tonight.
He said that although the girl was not very good at work, she worked very hard and was not lazy.
After working for about half a month, one night, several guests in a private room left after dinner. One of them was so drunk that he had to be carried out.
About half an hour later, these people came back and said that the drunk guy had left an envelope on the chair he was sitting on. There was two thousand yuan in the envelope.
At this time, there were new guests in the box. The boss went in and asked politely if anyone had picked up an envelope on the chair or on the ground, but the new guests said no.
The boss could only ask his leader who was responsible for cleaning up the private room after the previous table of guests left?
The foreman said it was Xu Liu.
The boss immediately called Xu Liu and asked her if she had found an envelope containing two thousand yuan while packing.
Xu Liu immediately shook his head and said no.
But those guests refused to accept this, especially the drunk one, who said he vomited as soon as he left the house, then got in the car and never went anywhere else. He pointed at Xu Liu and said that it must have been this girl who stole it.
Several guests immediately clamored to search Xu Liu. Xu Liu was frightened and burst into tears. The scene suddenly became chaotic.
The boss was afraid that the incident would cause a big fuss and affect his business, so he quickly called the police.
Before the police arrived, the drunk guest began to insult Xu Liu with foul language and tried to take off her clothes. Xu Liu curled up in the corner and trembled.
At the critical moment, a middle-aged man wearing glasses from the group of guests at the back of the box came to the rescue. He not only stood in front of Xu Liu, but also warned these people not to cause trouble. It was illegal to search a young girl without permission. Be careful, or the police will come and arrest you and put you in jail.
Most drunk people, unless they have already fallen unconscious, are just acting crazy because of their drunkenness.
So the other party said it was illegal and stunned the person.
The police arrived soon. During this process, the middle-aged man with glasses kept protecting Xu Liu and preventing the group of people from approaching her.
When the police arrived, they explained the situation and offered a solution. Everyone followed them back to the police station, where they took statements and conducted a thorough investigation. Back at the station, they had a female officer search Xu Liu to confirm whether she had stolen the money.
If it is stolen, it will be treated as theft.
If they didn't steal, then it means you guys framed them. We can then mediate and negotiate how to deal with it.
The owner of the hot pot restaurant naturally wanted them to leave quickly so as not to delay his business.
At this time, the middle-aged man with glasses stood up and said that he could testify for the girl because he had already arrived when the girl was cleaning up the box. He had made an appointment with friends for dinner today and he had booked this box, so he was the first to arrive.
The police looked at him and asked him what he did. He said he was a teacher at Huaixing Middle School.
The hot pot restaurant owner didn't remember the other person's name, but only remembered that he was a teacher at Huaixing Middle School. Huaixing Middle School is the most famous key school in the local area. After all, it is not easy to be named after a city.
Then the police took several people away, including Xu Liu and the male teacher.
When the hot pot restaurant closed that night, Xu Liu had not returned. The boss thought that Xu Liu had really stolen the money and was detained by the police.
The next morning, when I arrived at the store, I found that Xu Liu had already arrived. After asking, I learned that after arriving at the police station, a female police officer first searched me, but when nothing was found, she took a statement and negotiated a settlement regarding the other party's false accusation.
In the end, the other party compensated her three hundred yuan.
Then the teacher drove her back. When she came back, the store was closed, so she went straight back to the dormitory.
When the boss saw that she was safe and sound, he knew that she was wrongly accused.
Tell her that she will have a day off today to rest and her salary will be paid as usual.
Unexpectedly, Xu Liu said that he came to resign today and didn't want to work anymore. He was afraid that if he stayed in the store, those people would come to cause trouble again.
The boss expressed his understanding and paid her salary on the spot and gave her three extra days' pay.
Then Xu Liu left.
As expected, the guests who came later came to make trouble twice, and finally gave up after confirming that Xu Liu had left.
From then on, the boss never saw the girl again.
But other waiters in the store provided a useful clue. After Xu Liu resigned and settled his salary, he went back to the dormitory to pack his things. When he left, he got into a white car at the entrance of the alley.
Although the waiter did not remember the license plate number of the car, he could not recognize the brand of the car.
But He Bin keenly thought of a person, the middle-aged male teacher who testified for Xu Liu and sent Xu Liu back afterwards.
He Bin immediately went to the nearby police station, showed his ID, and asked the police to retrieve the case records at the time and found the information of the middle-aged man with glasses.
Zhang Wenhua, senior teacher of Huaixing Middle School.
Zhang Wenhua is 41 years old this year. He is a native of Huaixing and teaches Chinese at Huaixing Middle School. He has a wife and a daughter, who is 16 years old this year.
He is also an amateur writer and poet, often publishing articles and poems in local newspapers and magazines, and is quite famous.
He Bin went directly to Huaixing Middle School and first learned about Zhang Wenhua's situation and personality from the school.
The school is still very positive about Teacher Zhang. After all, he has the title of senior teacher and his teaching level is also very good. In the past few years, he has taught a student with high scores in the Chinese college entrance examination. That student's Chinese college entrance examination score ranked third in the province that year.
He is also a golden signboard of the school in Chinese language. Moreover, he is young and energetic, and is in a period of steady growth.
It was also confirmed that Zhang Wenhua was indeed driving a white car, which he had just bought two years ago.
Later, with the help of school leaders, He Bin and his colleagues met Zhang Wenhua in an office and conducted private inquiries.
He Bin said that after Zhang Wenhua was brought in by the school leaders, he noticed something unusual when the school leaders introduced their identities.
Because he obviously had a nervous reaction, but He Bin did not alarm him. Instead, he started with some small problems.
After asking a few questions about his personal situation, he suddenly changed the subject and asked him if he knew Xu Liu.
Zhang Wenhua was stunned for a moment and stammered that he didn't seem to have any student named Xu Liu.
He Bin stared at him with a sharp gaze and said: I didn't say Xu Liu was a student.
Sweat broke out on Zhang Wenhua's forehead. It was obvious that the psychological quality of this senior teacher was not that good.
He Bin was very smart. He immediately took advantage of the victory and started to play the role of the good guy and the bad guy with his colleagues.
His colleagues were responsible for scaring him and warning him that the problem was very serious. If he did not tell the truth, we would come to question him every day. We would not only come to the school to question him, but also to his home, including his wife and daughter. We would talk to them and investigate.
After being frightened like this, Zhang Wenhua was basically dumbfounded.
Because teachers like this who are well-known and like to write poetry all care very much about their public image and are most afraid of losing their reputation.
He Bin immediately tried to persuade them kindly, saying that they were just conducting a routine investigation to understand the situation, and if they cooperated with their work, they would not make things difficult for them.
Zhang Wenhua tearfully said that he was confused and possessed by evil spirits to do such a thing. He felt sorry for his wife and children, sorry for the school and leaders, and sorry for the Four Books and Five Classics he had read.
He Bin quickly stopped his endless confession and asked him to talk about business. They already had a lot of information and now was the time to give him a chance to redeem himself.
Then he reminded him to start from the incident at the hot pot restaurant last August.
Zhang Wenhua nodded repeatedly, admitting that he did know Xu Liu and that he had maintained an improper relationship with Xu Liu for a long time.
In mid-August last year, he made an appointment with some old classmates for dinner, so he called the hot pot restaurant in advance to book a private room.
It was indeed he who arrived at the hot pot restaurant first, and after arriving, the front desk clerk led him to the private room.
When he pushed open the door of the box, he happened to see a waiter standing with his back to the door, and he seemed to be holding something in his hand.
His sudden appearance startled the waiter, who immediately stuffed the things in his hands into his clothes and began to hurriedly clean up the leftovers left by the previous table of guests.
He didn't care and said, "Don't worry, take your time to clean up."
But the young waiter seemed very nervous. He kept his head down and worked hard to clean up the things. After wiping the table clean, he took the things and left.
Then the classmates he had made an appointment with arrived one after another, and they started ordering food and eating.
Not long after they started eating, the boss came in and asked them if they had seen an envelope on the chair.
A few people looked at each other and said they didn't see it, so the boss went out.
Soon, they heard quarreling and cursing outside. A few people went out to take a look out of curiosity and saw several grown men surrounding the waiter who was packing up just now. The little girl was so scared that she started crying.
After listening to a few sentences, Zhang Wenhua realized that a guest at the table above them had dropped an envelope containing two thousand yuan. The group of people were now clamoring to search the waitress, believing that she had stolen it.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered the waitress's strange reaction when he entered the box earlier.
He understood that the money must have been taken by the little girl.
He wanted to testify for a few customers, but when his eyes fell on the waitress's face, he said his heart trembled.
The little girl was crying, trembling and looking so pitiful that he felt pity for her at that time.
So he stepped forward and stood in front of the little girl.
The little girl he protected hid behind him, holding onto his clothes tightly with both hands, as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw.
This also aroused his desire to protect, and he shouted harshly, intimidating several male guests opposite who wanted to make a move.
Then, when the police arrived, taking advantage of the brief moment when everyone's attention was drawn, he immediately whispered in the girl's ear: "I know you took it, but don't worry, I won't report you. Give it to me now, or it will be discovered soon."
He said the other person trembled all over, then took out the envelope from his clothes and put it in his hand.
When the people who dropped the money told the police what happened and pointed at Xu Liu who was shivering in the corner, the envelope had already been in Zhang Wenhua's hands.
After calmly stuffing the envelope into his underwear, he jumped out to testify for Xu Liu, identified himself to the police, and said that he was willing to go to the police station to give a statement.
After arriving at the police station, Xu Liu was taken to a room and searched, but of course nothing was found.
The situation then reversed, and Xu Liu went from being a suspect to being a wrongly accused victim.
This kind of thing is not a big deal in itself. What's more, the people who lost the money not only had no evidence, but also drank a lot of alcohol. The police also said that they probably didn't even know where they lost the money.
After negotiation and mediation, the police asked those people to pay 300 yuan in compensation.
Then let Zhang Wenhua and Xu Liu go first, and let these people leave later.
The purpose is naturally to prevent a few people from being dissatisfied and looking for opportunities to retaliate and cause trouble again.
When they went there, Xu Liu, as the suspect, got on a police car.
He and the people who lost the money each drove their own cars.
So after coming out of the police station, Zhang Wenhua asked Xu Liu to get into his car and said he would take her home.
Xu Liu had the upper hand in his hand, so he naturally didn't dare to disobey and got into the car obediently.
On the way back, Zhang Wenhua began to ask about her personal situation in a concerned tone, because he wondered why she was so young and had to work so early.
At that time, Xu Liu obviously had little social experience, so she just answered honestly whatever Zhang Wenhua asked.
When he learned that Xu Liu was a student who was about to go to college, he was very surprised, so he asked her which school she was studying in, how many points she got in the exam, and which university she was applying to.
Perhaps it was because no one had cared about her so much for a long time, Xu Liu suddenly lost control of her emotions when answering and started crying bitterly.
Zhang Wenhua immediately stopped the car on the side of the road and comforted her softly.
But while comforting her, his hand slowly touched Xu Liu's back.
When his hand put around Xu Liu's shoulders, Xu Liu trembled with fear and pushed him away.
Xu Liu’s reaction made Zhang Wenhua very unhappy because he felt that this girl was a bit "ungrateful".
So he began to "beat" Xu Liu.
I sternly and righteously educated her, saying that her behavior today was extremely serious and bad, and was a crime. If the police found out, she would go to jail.
Once she goes to jail, she will definitely not be able to go to college. Even if she is released, she will have a criminal record and be looked down upon for the rest of her life.
So he didn't know whether he should cover up her criminal behavior or report it to the police.
Sure enough, Xu Liu, who had little social experience, was frightened by his words and trembled with fear.
In fact, it is not that easy. She can't just report and expose things. Xu Liu is not a civil servant, and reporting without any evidence is meaningless to her.
What's more, Zhang Wenhua is also suspected of harboring and obstructing law enforcement, so if he really reports him, he will also be implicated.
But a girl who just graduated from high school didn't understand these principles at all, and was frightened by Zhang Wenhua's few words.
Seeing this, Zhang Wenhua changed the subject and began to comfort her, saying that he understood her difficulties and that it was not easy to earn a little money. She must have done something wrong because she was confused for a moment. This society should give young people more opportunities to reform themselves.
Of course, the entire interrogation process was not so direct. Zhang Wenhua racked his brains to lie and try to get away with it.
He Bin said that this person's psychological quality was still not good enough. Whenever he lied, he would either break out in cold sweat on his forehead or tremble all over, which was very easy to tell.
So every time Zhang Wenhua lied, He Bin would immediately see through it and expose him.
Zhang Wenhua confessed that he took the opportunity to comfort Xu Liu, and his hands began to become dishonest again, slowly touching Xu Liu's slender waist.
This time, although Xu Liu's body was still trembling, she did not push him away.
Seeing that Xu Liu did not resist, he became more and more unscrupulous. He spoke a lot of Taoist teachings, but his hands roamed freely on the other's young and soft body, all the way up, and finally grabbed her and started kneading her wantonly.
He Bin was furious when he heard this, and asked Zhang Wenhua in a harsh voice whether he had coerced and raped Xu Liu that night.
Zhang Wenhua was so scared that he waved his hands repeatedly, saying that he had never raped Xu Liu and that their relationship was consensual.
He Bin took the opportunity to ask him to explain everything clearly and not to hide anything, otherwise he would be arrested on suspicion of rape.
Zhang Wenhua was so scared that he almost peed his pants. He kept saying that he would not lie and asked, "Please don't arrest me. I really didn't rape her."
According to his account, he did not force her to have sex with him that night.
Instead, he gave her a condition.
He could give her the envelope, and not only could she take the two thousand dollars inside, but he could also pay for her tuition and living expenses for four years of college.
He gave a number and said that there was still half a month before her school started, and as long as she was willing to accompany him for half a month, the two thousand yuan and the money he mentioned would all be Xu Liu's.
In the future, he can visit her in Hongcheng every month and give her living expenses regularly, so she won't have to work so hard to earn money like she does now.
If Xu Liu doesn't accept it, then he will drive the car back to the police station and let the police handle it.
So it was said that the conditions were set, but in fact it was still coercion and inducement, leaving Xu Liu with no choice.
Zhang Wenhua said that after he finished speaking, Xu Liu didn't say anything, but just kept her head down. He knew that she was moved and was just one step away from success.
So he grabbed Xu Liu's hand and moved it to his belt.
Then he told her that he had hidden the envelope in his underwear and if she wanted it, she could just reach out and get it herself.
That night, in a white car, a simple girl who knew nothing about the world died.
The next day, after Xu Liu resigned from the hot pot restaurant, he put on his old schoolbag and got into Zhang Wenhua's car at the entrance of the alley.
In the car, Zhang Wenhua kept his promise and threw an envelope to Xu Liu containing the money he had promised the night before.
Xu Liu opened the zipper of his schoolbag expressionlessly and stuffed the envelope into the interlayer of the bag, together with the two thousand yuan from last night.
Zhang Wenhua drove her directly to a hotel and paid for two weeks' room fee with a wave of his hand.
However, when he took the key from the front desk, he put Xu Liu's ID card into his pocket.
When getting on the elevator, Zhang Wenhua was still as gentle and elegant as ever.
But as soon as he entered the room and the door closed, he stopped pretending, completely shed his human skin, turned into an ugly beast, and pounced on Xu Liu.
When she was stripped naked and thrown on the bed.
As the beast, emitting a foul stench, lay on top of her and vented madly.
When red blood stains were left on the bed sheets.
Her head slumped over the bed, her long black hair cascading onto the carpet.
She felt numb, like a dead person, and couldn't even feel the severe pain coming from her lower body.
She just stared blankly at the air conditioner on the wall. Wisps of white steam were coming out of the air outlet, and a stream of cold air was blowing out from it.
Blowing into her face.
She suddenly felt like crying.
Because the air from the air conditioner was so cold, she was shivering.
