Chapter 712 Tutor
"You really don't know what I'm talking about?" Li Jiaman's eyes turned cold as she reminded him, "Do you know what happens when someone takes the blame for a murderer?"

Yang Lidan's eyes darted nervously, her head bowed, as she retorted, "What do you mean by taking the blame? I didn't."

“According to Article 310 of the Criminal Law…” Cheng Xu said solemnly, “you will be sentenced to imprisonment for not less than three years but not more than ten years. If you discussed this beforehand… you will also be treated as accomplices in the crime and sentenced according to the corresponding crime’s sentencing criteria.”

Yang Lidan clenched her fingers, her brows furrowed, "I...I..."

Li Jiaman softened her tone and advised, "Yang Lidan, you are still young. You can earn money slowly. We are asking you questions now to give you a chance. Only if you tell the truth can you reduce your punishment."

Yang Lidan bit her lip, her heart filled with conflict.

After a while, Li Jiaman spoke up again, "Yang Lidan, did Li Huanzhou really force you?"

Yang Lidan was in immense turmoil. After hesitating for a moment, she took a deep breath and chose to confess, "Li Huanzhou did not rape me."

Li Jiaman's eyes lit up, and she exchanged a glance with Cheng Xu.

"Yang Lidan, please recount the true events of the incident."

Yang Lidan lowered her head and slowly said, "That afternoon I had just finished my broadcast..."

What she said basically matched what Jiang Yuan had found out from the little sparrow.

Cheng Xu twirled the pen in his hand, "Tell me about your relationship with Li Huanzhou."

Yang Lidan wiped away her tears and explained, "I really met Li Huanzhou when he was delivering food. Later, he came across my live stream and gave me some tips. When he was delivering food, he told me his ID..."

"Because he gives a lot of tips, I know who he is. In order to maintain my relationship with my fans, I will order an extra portion for him when I receive takeout."

"Sometimes... I'll give him some hints..."

After she finished speaking, Cheng Xu asked seriously, "Yang Lidan, are you sure Guo Hongrui killed Li Huanzhou with a fruit knife at your house?"

Yang Lidan nodded, "I'm sure."

Li Jiaman printed out what she had dictated and placed it in front of her, saying, "Check it out. If there are no problems, sign it."

The next day.

After having breakfast at the hotel, Jiang Yuan and Xu Shiling hailed a taxi to the police station.

During the journey, Jiang Yuan heard a system notification.

[System 009: Congratulations on completing the LV5 hidden quest: "Clearing Your Name"; Rewards: 400 million cash, a dictionary of gliders.]

As soon as they entered the police station, Li Jiaman excitedly ran up to the two men, "Guo Hongrui has confessed!"

Jiang Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly and smiled, "So fast? Does that mean our mission is complete?"

"Advisor Jiang, it has to be you!"

"Without Consultant Jiang's help, this case probably wouldn't have been closed so quickly."

Others also gathered around to praise him.

Cheng Xu nodded in agreement: "Advisor Jiang deserves a lot of credit."

Jiang Yuan chuckled and said, "No, I was just lucky."

Director Zhang also came over, his tone full of emotion: "I really envy Director Lou."

Jiang Yuan turned to look at him and smiled: "Director Zhang, have I successfully completed my mission?"

"Yes." Director Zhang nodded, looking regretful. "Why wasn't it me who discovered a talent like Consultant Jiang?"

He would be overjoyed if he could keep people in Jiangcheng.

At this moment, another member of the criminal investigation team spoke up: "Advisor Jiang, I have a new case here. Would you be interested in participating?" The speaker was a girl of similar age to Li Jiaman, named Yao Yue, with neat short, choppy hair.

Jiang Yuan looked at the other person and asked with a smile, "Yao Yue, what case is it?"

Seeing her interest, Yao Yue's eyes lit up, and her voice was filled with surprise: "Advisor Jiang, Officer Xu, let's go to the conference room, and I'll tell you about it slowly."

"Okay." Jiang Yuan nodded.

The group entered the conference room together.

Yao Yue then said, "A parent of a high school sophomore girl called the police, saying that their daughter was sexually assaulted by a tutor they hired..."

She pushed the case files in front of Jiang Yuan and Xiao Xu.

"There were no surveillance cameras in the room, and no corroborating evidence. Both sides have their own version of events."

Jiang Yuan read through the documents.

Yan Ruoruo said that her tutor, Song Qinghe, always put his hands inside her clothes and often made sexually suggestive remarks to her.

This time it went even further; Song Qinghe actually put his hand inside her waistband and said he had brought a condom.

Yan Ruoruo said that she was too embarrassed to tell her parents before.

But this time she was genuinely scared, so when she heard that Song Qinghe had prepared condoms, she screamed.

Hearing the noise, Yan Ruoruo's mother rushed into the room and saw Song Qinghe and Yan Ruoruo lying on the bed with several condoms scattered around them.

Yan's mother was frightened and yelled for Yan's father, then called the police.

Song Qinghe denied the accusations made by the Yan family. He said that he had not done anything to offend Yan Ruoruo, and that Yan Ruoruo was harassing him and deliberately retaliating against him after he rejected her.

“Song Qinghe is a senior student,” Yao Yue said softly. “We went to his school to investigate and also asked his roommates and classmates.”

“His roommates and classmates all said that Song Qinghe came from an ordinary family. Many girls pursued him during college, but he was only focused on studying and working part-time and never talked about relationships with girls.”

"The girls at school also spoke highly of Song Qinghe's character."

"I heard he's already secured a place in graduate school." Yao Yue sighed, then continued, "To be honest, I personally think that someone like him shouldn't do something so irrational; it's just not worth it."

Xu Shiling nodded in agreement: "Indeed, once something like this happens, all his efforts in the first half of his life have been in vain."

Yao Yue: "Moreover, Yan Ruoruo's mother insisted that when she rushed in, Song Qinghe's hand was inside her daughter's pants, which seemed a bit strange no matter how you looked at it."

Jiang Yuan also spoke up, "If this is true, wouldn't Song Qinghe have withdrawn his hand immediately after Yan Ruoruo screamed? Would he have waited for Yan Ruoruo's mother to see it?"

“Yes.” Yao Yue looked at her. “That’s what I find strange too. Song Qinghe isn’t stupid.”

Especially after learning the truth about Li Huanzhou's case, she felt even more that something was amiss.

"Were there any pets in the room at the time?" Jiang Yuan asked.

“When we visited the Yan family, I noticed that they kept sugar gliders.”

"Sugar gliders?" Jiang Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly. "We could ask them about that."

The reward I just received is already coming in handy.

Upon hearing this, Yao Yue's face instantly lit up with a smile: "Advisor Jiang, do you have time?"

Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "Yes, shall we set off now?"

"Sure, I'll arrange it right away!" Yao Yue stood up excitedly.

The truth will come out soon!
She couldn't wait to find out if her judgment was right or wrong...
