Episode 20 recap: It is extremely difficult to collect evidence from the victims.
Under the lawyer's persuasion, Wang Peng also agreed to pursue compensation for the mental distress caused by this incident. The suspect taking photos of Wang Chun Lan seriously violated his right of publicity. Initially, Wang Peng had some reservations, but the lawyer informed them that the defendant still had some money, albeit obtained through fraud, and the identity of the victim could not yet be determined. Moreover, Wang Chun Lan did suffer both physically and mentally from this incident, so it was only fair to seek compensation from the criminal suspect.
Ma La Song and his team began analyzing the entire process of the case. Xiong Jian Lin broke into the home of the victim at night, forcing her to take nude photos and even engaging in sexual acts. Each time, his intention was to extort money using this method. Many girls, out of fear, did not dare to report the incidents. Xiong Jian Lin is a very cunning person, and he specifically targeted affluent communities to prey on vulnerable girls.
He would always break in when the victims opened their doors, and each time, he had different excuses for entering. In this particular case, Xiong Jian Lin noticed Wang Chun Lan because he saw her while she was doing part-time work. He also heard that Wang Peng had saved a considerable amount of money for his daughter. Therefore, Xiong Jian Lin planned not only to violate Wang Chun Lan but also to extort a large sum from her later on.
As for Qu Xiao Yan, it was actually a complete accident. Xiong Jian Lin saw a girl getting off the bus and mistakenly thought it was Wang Chun Lan. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be Qu Xiao Yan. When Xiong Jian Lin killed her, he didn't realize he had targeted the wrong person. It was only when he planned to take the bus and saw Wang Chun Lan getting off that he realized his mistake.
When Qi Heng arrived at work, he learned that the two female victims who were supposed to testify in court had disappeared. Qi Heng also pondered over this matter when he returned home. Guo Lun happily informed him about developing new software, but Qi Heng didn't seem interested at all.
At this moment, Director Lang came to find Qi Heng and asked for his help. However, Qi Heng politely refused. He simply told Director Lang that they should follow the proper channels, and since there were no results, Director Lang had no choice but to leave.
However, unexpectedly, before leaving, Director Lang happened to screen a bank card on the sofa where Qi Heng and others were sitting. Qi Heng quickly returned it to him.
Luo Huai Gong also received some news. It turns out that one of the victims' fathers is a government official. Currently, many victims are unwilling to testify. Luo Huai Gong even suspects that Qi Heng is protecting the reputation of the female victims by preventing them from appearing in court.
Soon, the Water Management Bureau and several other individuals were reported for engaging in extramarital affairs and discrepancies in the amounts spent on construction sites. Wu Shen Yuan, upon learning about this situation, demanded strict supervision and investigation, without compromising party principles. Wu Shen Yuan immediately convened an executive committee meeting to initiate a series of inquiries into the matter.
In fact, they only wanted to protect their daughter's reputation. They bought their daughter's nude photos from Xiong Jian Lin. However, the incident was still exposed, and their daughter faced threats. Eventually, she took sleeping pills and committed suicide. Zhang Yan Jun approached Qi Heng and informed him that Director Ding's daughter had taken a large amount of sleeping pills an hour ago and nearly died. Qi Heng initially wanted to visit her, but Zhang Yan Jun intercepted him. The list of these victims has been in Qi Heng's possession, and it is unclear how it was leaked.
In reality, all of this was orchestrated by Luo Huai Gong deliberately to punish Qi Heng and make him a target of public criticism.
