Chapter 2602 Liu Xiaonan is dead

"Qin Feng, I've checked your resume. You haven't worked there very long, but you've been promoted quickly and received numerous special honors. However, you haven't had a smooth journey over the years. You've been scrutinized more times than many people could handle in their entire careers."

"So you should be very clear about our rules. I won't say any more nonsense. You should also be clear why we suddenly raised the level of scrutiny on you." Duan Peng said.

Qin Feng nodded: "The investigation team went to the sandbar and found some evidence that was unfavorable to me, right?"

"It's good that you understand it in your heart. You are clear about our policies. So, Qin Feng, since you know that we must have brought you here because we have solid evidence of your illegal activities, then you'd better confess on your own initiative. Don't tell a single word of truth like you did during the interrogation yesterday. This will be beneficial for your future punishment and sentencing." Duan Peng said as he handed Qin Feng a cigarette.

Duan Peng's words were "earnest and heartfelt", just like a chat between two old friends, and he even offered Qin Feng a cigarette, which was already a super treatment.

"Sentencing? Director Duan, isn't that too serious?" Qin Feng was surprised.

In Qin Feng's opinion, when the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection went to Shazhou to investigate, those people would definitely do something tricky and try to provide the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection with some evidence of his violations. The problem must still be his violations of regulations in living in a villa, luxurious office and even the golden horse, but strictly speaking, these would not be enough to determine his sentencing.

So Qin Feng was very surprised when he heard the word sentencing.

"It seems that you still have a lucky mentality. Okay, then I will violate the rules and provide you with two pieces of information." Duan Peng stood up, walked to Qin Feng, took out a lighter and lit a cigarette for Qin Feng.

"First, as soon as we arrived at Shazhou, we summoned Lixin Group's general manager, Yang Zhijie, and its legal advisor, Ding Haiyang. Yang Zhijie took the initiative to confess to us that he had given you a pure gold ornament."

"Yang Zhijie said that you forced him to give you a gift. If you didn't, he would completely veto the relocation of No. 1 Middle School to Xinyang City. Yang Zhijie had no choice but to give you this golden horse."

"Yang Zhijie provided us with evidence that he arranged for someone to deliver the package to the front desk of Shazhou Hotel. After investigating at Shazhou Hotel, we can confirm that you accepted the package."

"You should know the value of this pure gold ornament, and you should also understand whether it is enough to sentence you."

"Of course, this is just one of the reasons. Let me tell you another piece of news. Liu Xiaonan, the waitress at Shazhou Hotel who reported you for rape online, committed suicide by jumping into the river last night." Duan Peng said, standing beside Qin Feng.

Earlier, when Duan Peng mentioned Yang Zhijie's false accusation against him, Qin Feng was very calm because he had already guessed that Yang Zhijie would do this.

But after hearing Duan Peng say that Liu Xiaonan had committed suicide by jumping into the river, Qin Feng stood up in horror: "What...you said Liu Xiaonan is dead?"

"Yes, she jumped from the Shahe Bridge into the river. The entire process was filmed. Although her body hasn't been found yet, the probability of her death is 99%. You know how turbulent the Shahe River is. A girl jumping in there wouldn't have any chance of survival. Of course, the current is so fast, so the likelihood of finding her body is also relatively low."

"Furthermore, after Liu Xiaonan committed suicide, the police found a suicide note in her dormitory. This note detailed and accused you of raping, beating, and threatening her. She also made it clear that she chose to commit suicide because she could no longer endure your persecution..."

Hearing this, Qin Feng's eyes were filled with anger. His anger was not because of Liu Xiaonan's false accusation against him, but because some people were so cruel that they forced such a sunny and kind girl to death in order to frame him.

Qin Feng didn't know why Liu Xiaonan had framed him, and he hadn't asked anyone to investigate the matter. But after so many years in this industry, Qin Feng saw through the twists and turns behind the matter at a glance.

Qin Feng concluded that Liu Xiaonan was threatened and forced to record a video to frame him. Qin Feng knew clearly what kind of girl Liu Xiaonan was. If she was not forced to do so, how could Liu Xiaonan do such a thing?

Now that Liu Xiaonan has committed suicide by jumping into the river, Qin Feng is even more certain of his guess.

Qin Feng was very sad that such a young and kind girl was forced to death. He had been with Liu Xiaonan for several months and liked this girl very much.

"The video of her jumping into the river to commit suicide and this suicide note were posted online. Now the public opinion online is overwhelming, and everyone is condemning you. Some people even started a blood letter campaign with 10,000 people writing it online, with the aim of demanding that the government execute you immediately..." Duan Peng continued.

Hearing this, Qin Feng couldn't help but sneer, and then shook his head helplessly.

He had previously underestimated the ruthlessness of the other party's methods.

Originally, Qin Feng thought that the other party just wanted to remove him from the position of mayor of Shazhou City, but now it seems that they want to kill him, or even more vicious than taking his life. They want to make Qin Feng infamous for all eternity.

"Qin Feng, you know your current situation very well. If you confess now, it may be helpful in sentencing in the future." Duan Peng said finally.

The reason why Duan Peng told Qin Feng that these were all psychological interrogation techniques.

"I understand. I'm at a loss for words. Liu Xiaonan reported me online, using her real name, for assaulting and raping her. Now she's dead. Although there's no direct evidence to prove I did these things to her, there's no way to prove I didn't do them either."

"Secondly, she wrote a suicide note in her own hand, again recounting and accusing me of raping and persecuting her. She also mentioned that she committed suicide because she could no longer bear my persecution."

"So, first of all, I am responsible for her suicide and even bear legal responsibility."

"Secondly, this suicide note can be considered direct evidence that I raped and assaulted her."

"Third, with so much online public opinion and immense pressure from all sides, this matter will likely not be handled with the rigor of the law, and will be dealt with seriously to appease public anger."

Qin Feng very calmly explained the situation he was facing bit by bit.

"You are calm and smart, and your analysis is very thorough, so your only option now is to cooperate with our investigation. Taking the initiative to explain the problem will help with your sentencing." Duan Peng said.

"How can I help? I'm an indirect murderer and rapist. What kind of crime is this? Just because I confess a few things, can I get a reduced sentence?" Qin Feng sneered, then said, "Compared to these criminal offenses, are the professional crimes and work style issues I want to confess important?"

"Qin Feng, watch your attitude." Duan Peng was angry.
