Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

"Innocence..." Upon hearing Qin Huairu utter these two words, He Yuzhu burst out laughing right in front of the police.

Many of the neighbors who were watching the commotion couldn't help but laugh.

He Yuzhu didn't give Qin Huairu a chance to continue speaking, interrupting her directly: "Qin Huairu..."

Do you think you can be associated with the word "innocent"?

Seeing the puzzled expressions on the faces of the three police officers, He Yuzhu continued, "Officer..."

Do you know why I divorced Qin Huairu back then?

"That bitch cheated on me..."

“She used to be a worker at the steel rolling mill. Not only did she have an affair with her current husband behind my back, but she also had illicit relationships with many men at the steel rolling mill, making money with her body. This matter was widely known in the steel rolling mill back then, and many of the old employees at the steel rolling mill knew about it.”

"Everyone in our courtyard can claim to be innocent, but surrounding that bitch Qin Huairu has absolutely nothing to do with innocence..."

The police officers also showed mocking expressions, and their initial sympathy for Qin Huairu was gone, replaced by a scrutinizing gaze.

Qin Huairu knew that she couldn't let He Yuzhu continue talking now, otherwise the three policemen in front of her would definitely choose to believe He Yuzhu instead of her.

He Yuzhu had no evidence or witnesses to prove that he did not rape her, and she herself had no evidence either; it all depended on the subjective judgment of the police.

In this situation, the person the police choose to believe will have a greater chance of winning.

He immediately interrupted, "Police officer..."

"These things happened many years ago, and I've long since changed them..."

"It was indeed He Yuzhu who took advantage of me in the house today and tried to rape me... but I managed to escape..."

"He Yuzhu has been making excuses from beginning to end..."

"Moreover, He Yuzhu, that beast, has not provided a single piece of evidence to prove that he did not rape me. Please, you must do justice for me."

Seeing the sympathetic expression return to the hesitant faces of the police officers, Qin Huairu knew they had once again sided with her, and she was overjoyed.

Several police officers also showed thoughtful expressions, seemingly agreeing with what Qin Huairu had just said.

Evidence is essential in everything.

Since He Yuzhu claims that Qin Huairu is slandering him and that he did not rape He Qin Huairu in the house just now, does he have any evidence?
If there is no truly credible evidence, then He Yuzhu is simply making excuses.

In their view, Qin Huairu's torn clothes and disheveled hair were the most direct evidence that He Yuzhu had raped her.

Facing Qin Huairu's provocative gaze and the suspicious expressions on the faces of the three policemen, He Yuzhu snorted and replied, "Qin Huairu..."

"Who told you I have no evidence to prove I didn't rape you...?"

"Police officer..."

"I actually have evidence to prove that Qin Huairu has been slandering and blackmailing me..."

"Please have two police officers come into my room with me. Once you see the evidence I've presented, you'll understand what's going on."

"This whole thing tonight was orchestrated by that madwoman Qin Huairu from beginning to end. I am the biggest victim."

"The reason she did this was that she wanted to take over the house in the backyard after I moved out, so that her own son, Bang Geng, could use it for his wedding."

"The three police officers may not yet know..."

"Don't be fooled by Qin Huairu's pitiful appearance in front of everyone. She is actually more ruthless than anyone else in our courtyard."

"His son is no better."

“She was arrested by the police a few months ago for smuggling and sentenced to three years… She still has two years left before she gets out.” “As the mother of a criminal, she can’t be any better.”

"You have evidence?" The police officer in charge was taken aback at first, then a surprised smile appeared on his face.

If He Yuzhu can produce evidence to prove that he is a victim, then this matter will be much easier to handle.

He immediately turned to He Yuzhu and said, "What evidence? Take us to see it right away..."

“If there is real evidence that Qin Huai is slandering you, I will immediately arrest him on charges of framing and extortion. Maybe I can even have a reunion with his son in prison…”

Five minutes later, the lead police officer walked out of He Yuzhu's house with a mocking smile on his face.

The other, younger police officer, as if they had planned it together, also focused their attention on Qin Huairu.

One of the police officers even burst out laughing, as if to say to Qin Huairu, "Keep lying... let's see if you can turn black into white and white into black..."

Qin Huairu was startled and her mind raced as she tried to recall what had just happened in the room to pinpoint the problem.

I racked my brains for several seconds but still couldn't come up with a solution.

Just then, the older policeman leading the group suddenly spoke to Qin Huairu: "Qin Huairu..."

"The evidence provided by He Yuzhu has just been confirmed..."

“You are indeed slandering him and trying to extort money from his backyard house. Both charges will be combined, and you will be imprisoned for at least a year.”

"What else do you have to say?"

"Impossible..." Qin Huairu exclaimed in disbelief.

"He Yuzhu couldn't possibly have any evidence."

“I checked everything when I was in the room just now. There was no one hiding in the room, so it’s impossible for anyone to know what happened between He Yuzhu and me in the room just now…”

"You must be lying to me..."

"Right, that is it."

"He accepted bribes from He Yuzhu inside the house and deliberately lied to me like this..."

“My clothes were torn and my hair was messed up by He Yuzhu. These are all evidence that He Yuzhu wanted to rape me.”

“There were no outsiders in the house just now, so He Yuzhu could not find any evidence. You must be in cahoots with He Yuzhu.”

"You're trying to distort the truth and frame me."

The older police chief sighed and replied, "Qin Huairu..."

“Proving that He Yuzhu did not rape you in the house does not necessarily require witness testimony. There are other pieces of evidence that can also prove that you are framing He Yuzhu.”

"Everything that happened in the yard today was orchestrated by you."

Qin Huairu, still with a resolute expression, retorted: "I don't believe it..."

"You must have received bribes from He Yuzhu to be speaking on his side and helping him..."

“I did not wrong He Yuzhu. He really did try to rape me in the house just now.”

"If I hadn't run fast, he would have succeeded just now."

"Officers, please help me and have He Yuzhu arrested..."

"I am the real victim. You can't take He Yuzhu's side just because you accepted his bribes." (End of Chapter)
