"If someone else rapes, why don't others say it?" Since you said it, who didn't you rape? ”
Looking at the angry old man in front of him, Dong Guoming did not know how to answer for a while, his mouth was open for half a day, and he only said one sentence: "How can it be me?" ”
Dong Guoming
The old man in front of him was the grandfather named "Alain", and beside the old man, there stood Alain's grandmother and Alain.
Alain's grandmother had been hiding her face and crying, and Alain, who was suffering from mental disorders, did not say a word, but just looked at Dong Guoming silently.
At this time, Dong Guoming did not know that he usually helped each other and wrote couplets to them during the New Year, and he would be sent to prison by the family in front of him.
I don't have the ability, how can I do it
At the end of 2011, there was not much time left before the New Year. Thinking that the bed in his daughter's room was very dilapidated, Dong Guoming planned to buy another bed for his daughter.

Coincidentally, the son of the next door neighbor's family had just bought a new bed after getting married recently, and Dong Guoming wanted to measure the size of the bed and buy it according to this size.
Perhaps because he wanted to buy New Year goods, when Dong Guoming went to the neighbor's house, only the neighbor's mentally handicapped daughter Alain was at home alone. After asking where Alan's new bed was, Dong Guoming went straight upstairs to measure the size. Half the size, Alain suddenly walked in and lay down on the new bed.
Thinking it was a child's joke, Dong Guoming did not care, just about to open his mouth to let Alan let go, but he did not expect Alain to open his mouth first, let alone that Alain actually said that he wanted to have a relationship with himself!
This really scared Dong Guoming, Alain was only 17 years old, so young, where did she know this?
But before Dong Guoming could ask, Alain spoke again, saying that she had earned 30 yuan from the elder, but the elder had not yet given it to her.
Thinking of what Alain had just said, Dong Guoming also guessed a rough idea of how to make money. How can the panicked and embarrassed Dong Guoming still take care of the size? Without waiting for Alain to continue, he hurried home.
Dong Guoming, who returned home, did not intend to make a noise, after all, this kind of thing belongs to the family ugly, once exposed, the life of the neighbor's family may be in trouble. But he didn't want the so-called elder to continue to do something to Alain.
After a few days of entanglement, Dong Guoming stood at the door of the neighbor's house. Knock on the door, and there are only Alain's grandparents in the house.
After hesitating, Dong Guoming still said the matter: "Alain had a relationship with someone else and earned 30 yuan." Seems to be addicted, the other day wanted to follow me..."
Before he could finish speaking, Dong Guoming couldn't say anything more. But Alain's grandparents could hear it clearly, and in disbelief, Grandma Alain immediately called Alain back and tentatively asked her who she had earned 30 yuan from.
Alain said the man's name, and Grandma's expression instantly froze, and she asked sheepishly how the money was earned. But Alain was embarrassed to open his mouth, covered his face and ran to the side.
"O my mother! When his parents came back, they couldn't strangle her to death! Grandma Alan suddenly cried, making Dong Guoming overwhelmed for a while, and before he could comfort him, Grandpa Alain suddenly became angry, so there was the opening scene.
Dong Guoming, who was scolded by Grandpa Alan, suddenly reacted, probably because he did not pay attention to his words and annoyed the old man, and after a quick apology, he left the neighbor's house.
At this time, Dong Guoming did not expect that his apology would become the evidence that the other party identified himself as rape.
Grandpa Alain may think that Dong Guoming's apology in this way is clearly guilty of Alain. But only Dong Guoming knows that he has suffered from lung cancer for a while, not only removing part of the lung lobe, but also often needing to go to the hospital for chemotherapy. The side effects of chemotherapy were so great that it became a problem to eat, let alone do something to Alain.
I am innocent, and I don't give two dollars
A few days after the incident, a man who claimed to have been commissioned by a neighbor's family came to Dong Guoming's home and said he had a way to deal with the matter. And the method that this person said was to let Dong Guoming pay 20,000 yuan and use the money to settle this matter.
Thinking that once this matter was poked out, even if his mouth was full, he couldn't say it clearly, so Dong Guoming agreed. As a retired teacher, with a pension of more than 2,000 yuan per month, it is not difficult to come up with 20,000 yuan.
Unexpectedly, not a few days later, the man came to the house again and said that the neighbor did not want to do so.
Neighbors said Alain himself said he had three relationships with Dong Guoming, not only in Alain's own bedroom, but also in his mother's and brother's bedroom, and watched a pornographic CD on the way.
Therefore, the three bed neighbors did not want it anymore, and asked Dong Guoming to pay for a new one, including compensation totaling 150,000 yuan.
In this regard, Dong Guoming was furious, knowing that he had done nothing, why did they blackmail themselves in this way? As a result, the claim for compensation was not acceded.
A few days later, the middleman came to Dong Guoming's house again, saying that Alain's family had found the toilet paper he used after having sex with Alain, and that Alain was pregnant.
Hearing this news, Dong Guoming's attitude has undergone a 180-degree change, and with this evidence, it is natural to detect who did this, and Dong Guoming can also prove his innocence. Therefore, Dong Guoming said to the middleman: "Don't say 150,000, I will not give 20,000 yuan, and I will not give 2 yuan!" ”
Seeing the situation, the middleman also had to go away in sorrow. Unexpectedly, not long after the middleman left, the village chief actually came to Dong Guoming's home in person, and the village chief did not want to make a big fuss about this matter, saying that 150,000 would not be given, and 50,000 or 60,000 could also be given.
But now that there is evidence, Dong Guoming naturally will not take out this money for no reason and directly drive the village chief out of his home.
With the evidence, Dong Guoming's heart also settled down, once just after the end of chemotherapy, he received a call from his wife, saying that the police had come to the house and let Dong Guoming go to the police station.
Dong Guoming naturally will not be afraid, whether it is the ball of toilet paper or the child in Alan's belly, he can prove that this matter will never be done by himself.
But after Dong Guoming arrived at the police station, he found that things were completely different from what he thought. Just after arriving at the local police station, Dong Guoming was taken to the county criminal police team. Because of Alain's firm identification, Dong Guoming was directly imprisoned.
In July 2012, Dong Guoming's case was heard at the Lixin County People's Court. Dong Guoming, who believes that there is evidence, firmly believes that the law will give him a clean slate. Unexpectedly, the final verdict was that Dong Guoming was sentenced to 5 years in prison for rape.
For this judgment request, Dong Guoming was naturally dissatisfied, and he immediately filed an appeal. About three months later, the Bozhou Intermediate People's Court remanded for a retrial on the grounds that the facts were unclear and the evidence was insufficient. Unexpectedly, however, the result of the retrial remained unchanged. Dong Guoming appealed again, which was also rejected.
In this way, Dong Guoming inexplicably went to prison and confirmed the name of "rapist". In prison, Dong Guoming shouted loudly all day and complained about his grievances to the police who were watching him whenever he went out for chemotherapy, but for five years, no one paid attention to his cries.
I don't want anything, just innocence
During the five years of his sentence, Dong Guoming, who was not in good health, suddenly suffered a cerebral infarction and repeatedly hovered on the edge of life and death. But the strong desire to prove his innocence pulled him back from the line of death again and again.
In 2016, the 68-year-old Dong Guoming finally walked out of prison, when he was rickety, slurred and limping. But his eyes were still burning, and he wanted to prove his innocence!
Under the guidance of well-wishers, Dong Guoming found lawyer Wang Jinsheng, and after listening to the old man's story, Lawyer Wang also felt that something was wrong, and after reading the case file, the case became more confusing.
Dong Guoming, who is now elderly, wants to pick up his shirt when he sees people. This is Dong Guoming's way of self-justifying his innocence, and it is also the first mystery of this case.
Lawyer Wang said that according to Alan's confession in the file, the person who raped Alain had a mole on his chest, but Dong Guoming did not have a mole on his chest. Moreover, the file also shows that Dong Guoming had deliberately shown that he did not have a mole on his body, but the judge refused, and said that he would re-examine after the trial.
This is very strange, Dong Guoming is at the scene of the trial, directly open the clothes can be verified, why did the judge ask for a re-examination after the trial?
Moreover, the evidence mentioned by Alain's family did not appear in the trial transcript. After Mr. Wang's investigation, the public security organs submitted an inspection report to the court, which showed that no human sperm spots were detected on the toilet paper, and the police also extracted two hairs from the paper balls at the scene, and no human genotype was tested.
Evidence cannot be concealed, whether it is evidence of guilt or innocence. So why didn't the court cross-examine this evidence at the trial stage, but deliberately hid it?
Crucially, Alain's confession itself was extremely problematic. According to Alain's account, Dong Guoming first turned over the window and had an affair with Alain's bedroom, then went to Alain's mother's bedroom, and finally carried Alain up to the 3rd floor to Alain's brother's bedroom.
An old man in his sixties, who had had cancer surgery and was in the chemotherapy period, was unlikely to complete the crime that Alain had described. Alan's window is 1.85 meters from the ground, Dong Guoming is only 1.7 meters, visually estimated that Alain is about 100 pounds, just holding Alan upstairs, I am afraid it is a problem.
Lawyer Wang is very skeptical about Alan's confession, even if Dong Guoming was in good health before, this kind of thing is difficult for normal people to do, how can an old man with cancer who has undergone major surgery do it?
Moreover, Alain has done a psychiatric judicial appraisal, and the appraisal result is "mental retardation with mental disorder", according to his trial performance, it can be appraised as "asexual self-defense ability", according to the provisions of the Criminal Procedure Law, Alain cannot be a witness in this way. However, in the verdict, Alain's testimony was important evidence for Dong Guoming's conviction.
In this case, there are too many loopholes and puzzles to make people wonder what kind of unknown darkness there is.
Teacher Dong, who was once respected by the whole village, has now become Dong Mou, who has the label of "rapist" and is spurned and despised by everyone. Neighbors who used to be harmonious have also become strangers who don't even say hello when they meet.
It is not known whether Dong Guoming will suffer unfair treatment after returning to the village. But what is certain is that in the conservative rural areas, such a "crime" is enough to make Dong Guoming's family unable to lift their heads.
I stood in the sunshine of justice and shot at sin
Dong Guoming's case is very similar to a movie called "The Hunt", in which the protagonist Lucas is also a teacher, and after rejecting the show of affection from a precocious girl named Kara, he is pushed into the abyss by Carla's retaliatory lies.
The crime of "sexually assaulting a girl" caused the already respected teacher Lucas to lose his job, his dog was also killed inexplicably, and when he complained to his family in the house, he was also broken glass with stones by strangers, and even went to the supermarket to shop, and was also driven out of the supermarket by the clerk.
The police investigation, the truth that Carla spits out, allows Lucas to successfully exonerate himself. But the people in the town have long identified the former good husband as a vicious and perverted sexual assault.
He was still ostracized, he endured threats, and even his own son was warned. The nervous Breakdown Lucas broke out on Christmas Eve, expressing all the heartache and humiliation, and the people were shocked but did not change.
A year later, it seems to have been forgotten, Lucas is still having a party at home, and the neighbors are also coming to participate. But in the eyes of everyone, they are still cold and jealous.
At the end of the party, Lucas and three or five friends went hunting in the forest, and Lucas, who was acting separately, was looking out over the forest when a bullet suddenly roared overhead and hit the book next to him.
In a panic, Lucas looked in the direction of the gunshots, where there stood a man, and the afterglow of the setting sun made it impossible to see his appearance.
"No one knows who fired the shot, and behind him is a light called justice."
Nominated for an Academy Award in 2012, the film tells the story of a lie becoming a "fact" and makes people understand the meaning of the crowd. Lucas is facing the evil that "three people become tigers", and what is the old teacher Dong Guoming facing?
We have no way of knowing, nor do we dare to guess.
In 2018, with the help of lawyer Wang, Dong Guoming appealed to the Anhui Provincial High People's Court to declare Dong Guoming acquitted, but the court rejected it.
In 2019, Lawyer Wang submitted a complaint to the Supreme People's Court, hoping that the law would return Mr. Dong Guoming's innocence.
"Dong Guoming's health is getting worse and worse, much thinner than two years ago, he is 71 years old this year, I sometimes worry..."
Worried about Mr. Dong Lao, he could not hold out until the moment when he was rightfully wronged. Lawyer Wang's patient help is just and is for the sake of proving the innocence of those who have been wronged. But the villagers' actions may also be just.
Rape, indecency, sexual harassment, such terms make people feel a chill when they look at it, not to mention, are people who have really done these things?
The judgment of the court is the highest standard for people to judge a matter. Because people believe in the law, the law is justice, and following in the footsteps of justice is justice.
