Chapter 369.
When a father is not willing to believe in his own daughter, not willing to redress her grievances, only concerned about whether she can bring benefits to the family, and even indifferent to her death or life, how sad this kind of family should be.
How cruel is such a society?
“Nie Jiangsheng, haven’t you ever thought that this is not your daughter’s fault at all?”
“I have thought about it, so what, a girl, not yet married, lost her virginity, what face does she have to live in this world?”
“It’s not her fault, why should she bear it?”
“Fault, how many faults in this world are one’s own, and how many are someone else’s, can you tell the difference?” Nie Jiangsheng covered his face and squatted down and said.
“Nie Jiangsheng, things in this world, wrong is wrong, right is right, can’t say that a moment of being reversed black and white, can cover up the wrong, let the good people sink for life.” Cheng Mo said, “If this is the way of the world, then let’s come together to change the way of the world, if everyone is wronged like you and doesn’t rise up against it, then today it’s your daughter, tomorrow it could be your son, do you understand?”
“Sir, I don’t know what axioms, I only know that the people do not fight with the officials, this since ancient times is the yamen eight open, with reason and no money don’t come in ……”
“Are there no good government offices or good officials to redress the grievances of the people?”
“There is, that would have to be how good fortune to repair, at least I did not see, sir, listen out, you are a good person, but my family’s matter, you do not care, we resigned to fate.” Nie Jiangsheng said.
Cheng Mo could not help but be speechless for a while.
He could also understand Nie Jiangsheng’s concern, it had already happened, the other party was still Japanese, who would dare to mess with the Japanese now? If he insisted on crying foul, the result would probably be even worse.
This matter is now in the limelight, once the limelight passes, people will slowly forget about it, as if it was bitten by a dog, what else can be done? “Nie Jiangsheng, although you are Nie Xiaoyu’s father, we still need to talk to the person in question.” Cheng Mo wouldn’t give up, he wouldn’t let those three brutes off easily in this matter.
“Alright, if the two officers want to talk, then let’s talk.” Nie Jiangsheng didn’t dare to stand in the way, the Japanese couldn’t be messed with, and he couldn’t be messed with the inspector’s office either.
Living in the Concession, there are not many chances to come into contact with Japan, but these inspectors in black leather, that’s something you run into from time to time.
Nie Xiaoyu was called out by his father.
It is reasonable to say that a girl who can sell flowers on the street, at least not the kind of shy type, introverted personality, can not do the sales of this industry, can not even communicate with people, how can you sell the product? Maybe it’s normal that this one experience left her too much psychological trauma, which made her change like this.
“Nie Xiaoyu, my name is Cheng Mo, I’m taking over your case now, I’m the detective in charge, this is Officer Lu Le.” Cheng Mo introduced himself first.
“Don’t be nervous and don’t be afraid, we are here today because we want to come over and get to know you and your family.” Cheng Mo continued, what happened that night, he had naturally read all about it in the dossier, there was no need to have the bloody scars uncovered again.
A seventeen or eighteen year old flower girl went to actively seduce three Japanese ronin drunks, how much of a brain clot did this person have to make up the reason? If someone still believed it, Cheng Mo really wanted to split these people’s heads open to see what was inside. “Sir, don’t you see it all, what else do you want me to say?” Nie Xiaoyu lowered her head and whispered.
“We did see it, but it’s only part of it, let’s do it this way, let’s go out and talk about it, here, you might be a bit put out.” Cheng Mo said.
“This ……” Nie Xiaoyu hesitated.
“The place you choose, wherever you want to say it.” How could Cheng Mo not see the concerns in the girl’s heart.
“Then go to the river, I know a place that is more secluded ……”
“Secluded place don’t go, so as not to cause gossip, or find a teahouse box, we drink tea, chatting at the same time, this side of you familiar, you take us over.” Cheng Mo said.
“Good.” Nie Xiaoyu glanced at her father who was in the room, realizing that her father didn’t open his mouth to object, she agreed. ……
A street away was two worlds.
Nie Xiaoyu worked at the laundromat, often coming out to collect dirty clothes, and knew a lot of people, so after the incident, that news spread quickly.
The laundromat dismissed her, also afraid of things.
Teahouse, second floor small box, open door, but as long as the inside talking voice is not too loud, outside people can not hear.
Cheng Mo arranged for Lu Le to visit the people in the neighborhood, and he also wanted to understand what kind of person Nie Xiaoyu was from other people’s eyes.
“Miss Xiaoyu, after the accident, has anyone ever been to your home?” Cheng Mo opened his mouth and asked.
Nie Xiaoyu didn’t answer, but the way her hands kept twisting the corners of her clothes betrayed her, it was obvious that someone had been to her house.
“Wasn’t it a lawyer surnamed Han, who told your father that your family would be in big trouble in this matter if you guys don’t recognize that it was you who deliberately seduced those three drunken Japanese ronin?” Cheng Mo continued to ask.
Nie Xiaoyu lowered her head, her mouth moved slightly, but she still didn’t speak, but her eyes were already red.
The fact of the rape could not be changed because it was witnessed by a patrolling patrolman, the three drunken Japanese ronin were caught without even putting on their pants, if it was Cheng Mo’s, he would have definitely had someone take a picture of their dirty lower body and expose it.
It is too easy to pin down such a family of six, Nie Xiaoyu father Nie Jiangshan s camp on the docks, his younger brother who is studying, and even his mother who is helping out in someone else s house ……
Not to mention, as long as the livelihood of her father’s dock was cut off, the family would be in dire straits, not to mention, she herself was dismissed from the laundry.
“I can find out even if you don’t say these.” Cheng Mo continued, “He must have persuaded you to voluntarily withdraw the lawsuit, and then he would give you a sum of money to bring this matter to an end, right?”
Cheng Mo was most worried about this, once the victim took the initiative to change his statement and did not intend to pursue the matter, then the inspector’s office really could not do anything about it, even if there were so many witnesses, and the physical evidence was useless.
“With this money, your family will be able to collect the bride price money back to people, this is the reality of your family’s plight, right?”
Nie Xiaoyu’s reaction had already made Cheng Mo certain that Nie’s family was really planning to compromise, and now Nie’s family couldn’t get this money.
If they continued to insist, not only would their reputation be ruined and their marriage fall through, even their family would be in dire straits.
Obviously the victim should be sympathized with and compensated for, but now because of the victimization they are in an even more difficult situation.
Such a thing was obviously not a case of the Nie family, only that each one was different.
It was just that since this case had come across him, he couldn’t just leave it unattended, or else he wouldn’t be able to live with himself in his conscience.
“Miss Xiaoyu, as long as you are willing, I can help you with all of these matters, provided that you don’t agree to the other party’s conditions.” Cheng Mo said, “I can only help you as long as you insist, if even you don’t want to seek justice for yourself, then it’s useless for others to help.”
