Chapter 453 Investigation
Chapter 453 Investigation
The news about Yi Zhonghai became a hot topic in a short period of time.
The steel mill and the street office were caught off guard. They were afraid of what people would say and did not dare to delay at all.
So both units sent people to Wangjia Village to understand the situation, and also brought people from the security department, which shows how seriously they took the matter.
If someone only takes care of the half-open business, the leaders will not take it seriously at all.
But the rumors have already involved the rape of women, which is a serious crime and will have very bad consequences.
The people in Wangjia Village may have received benefits, and their statements were all consistent, confirming that Yi Zhonghai and Bao Qian did have an improper relationship.
But when it comes to the rape incident, everyone said that it didn't happen, and only said that the two may have had some conflicts and had an argument.
Village chief Wang, who received sufficient compensation, finally did not choose to beat Yi Zhonghai to death, for fear of forcing the other party into a desperate situation and causing him to retaliate irrationally.
But the problem is that everyone can lie, except Wang Laosan's family.
Because the person who wrote the real-name report letter was his eldest son Wang Yuan, and in order to earn the ten yuan, he even put his fingerprints on it.
The investigator's face was very serious, and he asked, "Your statement is different from the report letter!
I hope you will think carefully before speaking. If you make false accusations and disrupt public order, you will be held legally responsible!"
The two security officers who followed looked at him with a fierce look, as if they were going to arrest someone if they had a disagreement.
Of course, this is just a scare tactic. The report letter is exaggerated. They have seen it many times and they just want to be taken seriously.
As long as the accusation is not completely false, we will not take it too seriously and will only criticize and warn the whistleblower at most.
But Wang Yuan had never experienced this before, and was frightened by the scene. He quickly explained:
"I didn't frame her. When I caught her cheating that day, I heard the widow screaming for help from behind the wall. If it wasn't rape, what was it?
And later on, Widow Bao had injuries on her face and neck, which showed she had definitely been abused.”
Wang Laosan and his wife also hurried to help explain and no longer cared about the village chief's warning.
They felt a little regretful at this time. In order to earn an extra ten dollars, their family seemed to have fallen into a very embarrassing situation.
The investigator said angrily, "Then why did you lie just now? Aren't you just slapping yourself in the face?"
Wang Yuan replied hesitantly, "This...Yi Zhonghai and Bao Qian have already reached an understanding and paid a sum of money.
If even the victims are unwilling to be held accountable, why should we bother with it?"
The investigator curled his lips and couldn't help but complain in his heart: "I'm afraid Bao Qian is the only one who got compensation, otherwise why would everyone in this village say the same thing?"
Of course, they would not say this out loud. They were here to investigate the truth, so they just needed to record it truthfully and understand what was going on.
Otherwise, we could take all the liars in the village back for investigation, but that would only stir up a hornet's nest.
In rural areas these days, people are very tough. If any mass incidents occur, they have to take the blame themselves.
The investigator took notes, nodded, and said, "Okay! Don't act on your own in the future. Just answer whatever you're asked!"
I have to take responsibility for what I said. I won't pursue it this time. Just sign it."
Wang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and honestly signed his name on the testimony.
After basically figuring out the whole story, the investigation team headed towards Widow Bao's house.
Originally they were somewhat disgusted with Bao the widow, but after seeing the three children in the yard, they put aside their subconscious prejudice.
As the saying goes, the little brat is eating me out of house and home. As a widow, it is really not easy.
Don't advise others to do good unless you have experienced their suffering. They are not unforgivable sinners, so there is no need to be too harsh on them.
Therefore, the investigator did not show any pressure during the interrogation and asked calmly:
"Bao Qian, how long have you and Yi Zhonghai been together?"
Although the other party was quite polite, such a blunt question still made Widow Bao feel ashamed. She replied timidly, "Four...almost four years."
After verifying the issues in the report letter one by one, the investigators finally asked the key question:
"Did you do it voluntarily? Did Yi Zhonghai force you or even use violence against you?"
Widow Bao shook her head and said, “No…no.
We did have an argument the day before yesterday, and he slapped me, but I've already compensated him, so I won't pursue the matter any further."
She actually understood that she was not wronged, and since she had received compensation, she might as well stop while she could.
Otherwise, Yi Zhonghai's threat to her child might really happen.
Moreover, the village has already reached a unified opinion, and given her situation, she naturally dared not disobey.
The investigator nodded. In fact, he already knew the truth, but he did not hold on to it.
They remembered that before they set out, the factory gave the following instructions:
"Investigate the whole story and keep good records. If the victim doesn't pursue the matter or cause trouble, there's no need to charge her with rape."
The meaning is very clear, which is to save Yi Zhonghai's life without leaving any hidden dangers.
After repeated confirmation, the investigators asked Widow Bao to sign and sealed the confession, and warned her that she would be held seriously responsible if she changed her statement later.
......
Steel rolling mill, director's office.
Director Xin, holding the detailed investigation results, could not help but curse: "He looks kind and benevolent, but I didn't expect him to be such a hypocritical villain!
Yi Zhonghai, Yi Zhonghai, if it weren’t for the fact that you are still somewhat useful, I would definitely fire you and hand you over to the police station for handling!
But, even scum has its uses, and asking you to open a mine is a bit of a waste."
Director Xin thought for a moment and then instructed his secretary, "Go and bring Yi Zhonghai here. We must give him a good beating.
"When you become a pariah, just bury your head, stay in the workshop and rush to make workpieces, and contribute honestly to the steel mill!"
The secretary replied, "The comrade who just conducted the investigation went to question Yi Zhonghai and said he had already asked for leave."
"Oh!" Director Xin couldn't help but sneer and said unhappily, "Yesterday you acted so dedicated and selfless, but now your true colors have been revealed?
Since you are so ungrateful, let the security department bring him back!
If he thinks of giving up and becoming worthless, the steel mill will not be able to keep him!"
The secretary nodded and asked, "By the way, this matter has spread everywhere in a short period of time. There must be a third party behind this. Do we need to investigate?"
Director Xin frowned. He also disliked people who hid in the dark and expanded the negative impact.
This is understandable if the report falls on deaf ears.
But you did this as soon as the steel mill received the letter, as if you were sure that it would cover up the case.
It's a completely coercive attitude, and no one in power would like this feeling.
But in the end, Director Xin shook his head and said, "Forget it. What's been said is basically true and not really a rumor. What's the big deal if we find out?
Go and notify them again, hold a small meeting at noon, and quickly decide on the punishment for Yi Zhonghai. Announce it to the entire factory and quell the rumors!"
Having said this, he suddenly changed the subject and said seriously:
"If the factory imposes a penalty and the person behind the scheme still refuses to give in, notify the security department to identify them and teach them a lesson!"
At the same time, the Street Office.
Director Wang was also listening to the investigators' report.
As a female cadre, she was naturally even more angry about such things.
"That's outrageous! We must criticize him thoroughly and parade him through the streets as a typical example!"
Although Director Wang likes to keep small matters secret, this matter is serious and has already spread, so she has to act decisively!
The investigator whispered, "From what I've heard from the comrades at the steel mill, it seems they want to protect Yi Zhonghai. So, we..."
Director Wang thought for a moment and shook his head, saying, "The news has spread like wildfire, and the investigation results are clear. Yi Zhonghai is not worthy of the steel mill's lifelong protection.
In this way, forget about raping women, and punish them as crimes of corrupting morals and having low moral character.
Yi Zhonghai used to have a good reputation, but this incident created a huge contrast, causing heated discussions and having a very negative impact, so the rumors must be quelled as soon as possible!"
