Huo Lala driver Zhou has recently been involved in the whirlpool of online public opinion.
Three yaw driving at night, turning into a trail with no street lights, and the girl who followed the car "jumping" to death... These plots made many netizens question his behavior that night-whether he was plotting against the girl?
On the evening of February 6, a 23-year-old Hunan girl Cha Shasha followed the car when she moved, and died in a crash in a truck driven by a certain last week.
Zhou told the police that the girl jumped from the window because the truck was yaw.
On February 23, half a month after the incident, the Changsha police detained Zhou on suspicion of negligence causing death.
On February 24, Zhou’s family told The Paper (www.thepaper.cn) that Zhou did not “manipulate” the girl that day and believed that the police would conduct a fair investigation.
The Paper News reporters found during an on-site interview that the section where Che Shasha "jumped" was about 700 meters away from the community where the driver Zhou lived.
There were street lights on Quyuan Road at night, but before Zhou drove to Quyuan Road on the night of the incident, the trails Wanglong Road, Jiayuan Road, and Linyu Road that he yaw passed were almost completely dark.
Local community officials also told The Paper that the few trails that Zhou detoured had fewer traffic lights, and locals often drove through, "but the street lights are really not bright."
Driver's family: his bad tone may scare the girl
38-year-old Zhou is from Yuelu District, Changsha, and lives in a community near Quyuan Road.
On the afternoon of February 24, The Paper reporter came to Zhou's house. There was a shoe rack beside the corridor, but the door was closed.
After knocking on the door several times, there was a voice in the house that seemed to be Zhou's father.
He didn't want to open the door, but briefly communicated with reporters through the door.
"We have consulted our superiors, and the superiors will help us mediate and solve them." Zhou's family member did not want to say more.
When the reporter mentioned netizens' suspicion about whether Zhou was "hands and feet", he immediately raised his voice in the room.
"No, where did you move your hands?" He said, "No... many people have learned about it."
On February 23, Zhou's sister also denied some netizens' doubts about sexual assault in an interview with Electric Shock News.
"The police will definitely give us justice. My brother did not do this." She believes that Zhou "has no physical contact" with the girl in the accident and "the kind of behavior mentioned on the Internet is absolutely absent."
Zhou's sister said that Zhou and the girl probably had an verbal argument because of the yaw.
"In the process of explaining to the girl, it may be that the tone was a little bad, which caused the girl to be scared..." She went on to say, "We will bear the responsibilities that we should bear, and will not escape."
Community workers: locals often drive along that trail
For the driver involved, Mr. Wu, a resident who lives in the same building, would greet him when he met him.
"I feel like he is relatively honest, and he doesn't talk much." Mr. Wu said that Zhou had been a chef before and bought a commercial house in the community about three or four years ago. "He drove a van and went home. Just park the car behind".
In the past few days, Mr. Wu paid attention to the relevant media reports. He felt that Zhou yaw to bypass the trails of Wanglong Road, Jiayuan Road, and Linyu Road at that time, "it should be no problem."
"Navigation is to take the avenue, but it is more convenient to take the trail, and there are four or five traffic lights less." He said, "People in our community often walk like this."
The Paper reporter saw at the scene that the community where Zhou lived was only about 700 meters away from the section of Quyuan Road where the incident occurred that night.
There were street lights on Quyuan Road at night, but before Zhou drove to Quyuan Road on the night of the incident, the trails Wanglong Road, Jiayuan Road, and Linyu Road that he yaw passed were almost completely dark.
Mr. Wu's statement about "it is convenient to go around the trails" was also confirmed by the residents' committee staff.
"The residents here often take that road." Dai Jia, a staff member of the Juyuan Community Neighborhood Committee, told The Paper on February 24. "These roads still have fewer traffic lights than the main road, but the street lights are not very bright." .
According to Dai Jia, the problem that the lights on a few small roads around the community were not turned on. The municipal department had previously connected with the construction party, but the specific situation was not clear. "We had coordinated several times and the street lights had been turned on several times. Bright".
Dai Jia said that he was not very familiar with Zhou, "the police investigation shall prevail."
