However, Qin Feng calmly retorted, asking whom the sexual assault had been committed against, a question that intensified the tension in the courtroom.
It also left the onlookers feeling confused.
In the final stages of the trial, I requested the court to allow Qin Feng to read a letter she had written to her sister, Qin Man.
This letter was penned by Qin Feng while she was in detention.
In it, she expressed her longing for her sister and her sympathy for Wu Jiajia's plight.
Qin Feng's voice resonated in the quiet courtroom as she read the letter, moving the audience deeply.
After the trial concluded, she was taken back to detention by the court officers to await the final verdict.
She felt a mix of anticipation and unease about the future ahead.
She was uncertain whether she would successfully reduce her sentence and gain her freedom. All she could do was silently pray for everything to go smoothly.
"Shut up!" Officer Li shouted angrily.
"You’re lying!" Yao Qiang roared.
"I am not!" Qin Feng shot back.
The argument between Officer Li and Yao Qiang escalated in the courtroom.
The judge had to strike the gavel on the table to restore order.
Qin Feng continued to recount Wu Jiajia's statement:
"Wu Jiajia told me that every Tuesday and Thursday evening, she would be summoned to Yao Qiang's office.
"In the office, Yao Qiang would sexually assault her.
"If Wu Jiajia did not obey, Yao Qiang would torment her in various ways.
"For instance, he would strip her naked, pin her against the wall, and whip her with a riding crop.
"Or he would drip hot wax on her body.
"On one occasion, Yao Qiang even stapled her mouth shut, causing her immense pain.
"Wu Jiajia was terrified because she could not resist Yao Qiang's brutality.
"Yao Qiang had threatened Wu Jiajia that if she dared to tell anyone about this, he would kill her entire family and ensure that they would be left unrecognizable."
The audience in the gallery was shocked and outraged by Yao Qiang's actions.
They began to murmur among themselves, expressing their disgust for Yao Qiang and sympathy for Wu Jiajia.
Qin Feng's testimony elicited a strong reaction from the listeners.
They felt not only revulsion towards Yao Qiang's behavior but also sorrow for Wu Jiajia's plight.
The judge inquired about the secrets Wu Jiajia had revealed in the video.
Qin Feng replied, "Wu Jiajia told me that Yao Qiang raped and murdered a female student two years ago."
The revelation of this secret shocked everyone present.
This secret could serve as powerful evidence, delivering a fatal blow to Yao Qiang's crimes.
The audience in the gallery reacted strongly to this revelation.
They began to whisper among themselves, discussing the potential implications of the truth behind this secret.
Officer Li was also taken aback by this revelation.
He had initially thought the secret was related to Zhou Shuwei, but now it seemed more closely tied to Yao Qiang's offenses.
Officer Li decided to investigate this secret further to determine if it could be used as evidence.
Upon hearing Qin Feng's disclosure, Yao Qiang became extremely agitated.
He stood up and loudly denied the accusation, claiming he was being wronged.
However, the audience in the gallery expressed skepticism towards his denial.
They began to question Yao Qiang's honesty and speculated that he might be concealing more crimes.
The unveiling of this secret complicated the case further, making it more enigmatic and intricate.
Qin Feng also started to worry about his own situation.
If this secret is true, Qin Feng may become a target for Yao Qiang's revenge.
It is essential to proceed with caution to ensure one's safety.
Qin Feng calmly requested the judge and prosecutor to investigate the missing students from the school over the past five years, particularly focusing on female students.
This was to substantiate her allegations.
Yao Qiang, in a state of emotional breakdown, muttered the names "Miao" and "He," leaving those present confused, as they were unaware of the significance and origins of these names.
Yao Qiang's disjointed words made it difficult to grasp his true intentions.
Due to the charges against Yao Qiang for sexual assault and even murder of students, the court could not continue with the proceedings.
The judge did not immediately announce a verdict but decided to detain Yao Qiang and instructed the prosecutor's office to reinvestigate the missing cases related to Yao Qiang and Liren Middle School over the past five years.
