Mao Yamei was not a good liar, and her forehead was already covered in sweat.
Han Bin handed her two tissues. "Wipe your sweat."
"Thank you." Mao Yamei lowered her head and said softly, "Officer, I'm sorry. I lied just now."
"We, the police, are not unreasonable. It's not too late to clear things up now."
Mao Yamei thought for a while and said, "Ever since Zhu Weichao went to prison, I've been earning money to support the family and take care of the child alone. It's not easy. I've been so busy all day, but he doesn't understand. He always thinks that I don't go to see him.
"Every time I don't see him for a long time, he'll make a fuss. He even suspects that I have ulterior motives and warns me that if I dare to find another man, he'll kill me.
"The more he threatens me, the more uncomfortable I feel. I know that he's capable of anything, but he's locked up in prison, so I'm not afraid of him. The more he threatens me, the more I don't want to see him.
"After a long time, when I went to see him again, he knew that threatening me wouldn't work, so he changed his method. He said that he has a lot of money outside, but he can't spend it now. As long as I listen to him, he'll give me the money after a while.
"Actually, I didn't completely believe what he said. I asked him where he hid the money, but he refused to tell me. Who knows if he's telling the truth or not. "
Han Bin asked, "Did you ask him why he can't spend the money?"
"I did. I remember very clearly that he glared at me. I'm very familiar with that look. If he wasn't in prison, but at home, he would definitely beat me up. So I didn't dare to ask. "
"He hit you?" Han Bin asked.
"Yes, why wouldn't he?" Mao Yamei pursed her lips. "Although it's tiring to take care of the child alone while he's in prison, at least he doesn't have to worry about getting beaten up."
Bao Xing opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything in the end.
Bao Xing couldn't understand long-term domestic violence.
In Bao Xing's opinion, this kind of thing shouldn't happen. If he was unfortunate enough to encounter it, it should only happen once.
This kind of thing could not be condoned, nor could it be easily forgiven. Otherwise, if it happened once, it would happen again.
It didn't matter if it was a man abusing a woman or a woman abusing a man. As long as it happened, it had to be dealt with thoroughly without any hesitation. Otherwise, the other party would only get worse.
If it really developed into long-term domestic violence, it would not just be one person's problem. It could only be said that Zhou Yu and Huang Gai were both willing to be beaten, and it would be difficult for the police to intervene in such a situation.
Bao Xing once heard of a case where a woman was often abused by her husband. She endured it once or twice, but finally, she couldn't take it anymore and went to the police.
The police officer who received the call was also in a difficult position. Domestic violence was not easy to deal with.
When the woman saw the police, she cried and complained about her husband's violence, hoping that the police would arrest her husband.
The policeman who received the call was very responsible. Because the beating was more serious, and the woman's attitude was also very strong, the husband was detained.
The next day, the woman personally went to the police station and asked the police to release her husband.
The police officer handling this matter was also dumbfounded.
'Didn't you ask them to arrest him? What are they doing?'
The woman started to cry again, saying that the family depended on her husband to earn money. If the police detained her husband and the leader of the unit found out, her husband might be fired, and the family would have no source of income.
The police officer was also very helpless. The person had already been dealt with. Now that you're asking for him to be released, do you think the police station is playing house?
This woman made a big fuss and even went to the chief's office to complain.
In the end, the police officer had no choice but to release her husband.
The police officer handling the case was very angry.
Many people accused the police of being too lenient towards domestic violence victims. Actually, the police could not do anything about it.
After all, they were a couple. If the police were to use force, the victim might even turn around and beg for mercy. The police were in a dilemma.
Han Bin continued to ask, "Who was Zhu Weichao close to before he went to prison?"
Mao Yamei answered, "There was a man called Hou Jiansheng in our village. They liked each other quite a bit and often drank together."
Hou Jiansheng again. This was the second time Han Bin had heard of this name.
Han Bin said, "Did Hou Jiansheng ask about your husband after he went to prison?"
"Yes. When he first went to prison, he often went to my house to ask for information. After that … I didn't open the door for him. He didn't come anymore. "
Han Bin continued to ask, "How much do you know about the case your husband committed back then?"
"Hmph." Mao Yamei snorted softly. "I know a little … After that, I was a little scared. Even if he didn't die, I wouldn't be able to live with him."
"Do you know why he committed the crime back then?"
"I don't know, and I never asked."
After asking a few more questions and not getting any more clues, Han Bin asked Bao Xing to take her to identify the body.
After asking Mao Yamei, the doubts in Han Bin's heart did not decrease. Instead, they increased.
Was the unknown source of wealth that Zhu Weichao mentioned true or false?
Was he lying to the two of them for some purpose, or did he really have some ill-gotten wealth?
If it was true, was it related to the case back then?
More importantly, through the statements of Zhu Weian and Mao Yamei, Han Bin felt that the possibility of them lying was not high. If the two of them really did not help to pass the message, how did Zhu Weichao contact the person who helped him escape from prison?
There were strict requirements for prison visits. Generally speaking, only relatives could visit the prisoner.
Moreover, the process of visiting the prisoner was monitored. Other than Zhu Weian and Mao Yamei, Zhu Weichao had not seen anyone else before he escaped from prison.
Han Bin felt that if he could find Zhu Weichao's contact with the outside world, he might be able to find a breakthrough in the case faster.
There was also another point, which was the person named Hou Jiansheng. Han Bin felt that he should give him a statement as soon as possible.
"Creak …" The door creaked and Bao Xing walked in from outside.
Huang Qianqian looked up and said in surprise, "Didn't you bring Mao Yamei to identify the body?"
Bao Xing shrugged. "It's done. Why else would I come back?"
Huang Qianqian said subconsciously, "So fast?"
Bao Xing was stunned for a moment before he explained, "She took a look when she got there, then turned around and left the house. After that, she told me that the deceased was indeed Zhu Weichao. She signed the documents and left. "
Huang Qianqian was a little emotional. "It's better for a couple to divorce earlier. Why hurt each other?"
In order to prevent this matter from affecting the two young people's vision for the future, Han Bin said with a smile, "This is just a case. Otherwise, you wouldn't be so surprised. The world is so big, and it's inevitable that some strange things will happen. It's normal. "
"Bao Xing, have you contacted Hou Jiansheng?"
"I've contacted him. He said that he'll be here before noon."
"Keep an eye on him."
Bao Xing took out his phone. "I'll urge him again."
