Jinghua City Case: Detention Extended for Ke Wenzhe and Ying Xiaowei, Security Payment Set at $12 Million
A Jinghua City court has ordered the continued detention of Ke Wenzhe and Ying Xiaowei for an additional two months, while requiring Shen Qingjing to provide a substantial security payment of 180 million yuan – approximately $12 million USD – to ensure their release. The ruling, handed down by the North Court of Jinghua City, signals a deepening legal entanglement in a case that has drawn significant attention.
The decision comes as investigations continue, with authorities indicating the possibility of a joint confession and potential “extermination certificate” – a legal term suggesting a complete resolution of the case through full disclosure. The extended detention period suggests investigators believe further questioning is necessary to fully understand the circumstances surrounding the allegations.
Financial Implications and Bail Arrangements
The financial burden placed on Shen Qingjing is considerable. Reports indicate that Li Wenzong has already contributed 20 million yuan toward the security, while Shen Qingjing has reportedly adjusted their insurance policy to meet the court’s demands. According to sources, Shen Qingjing now needs to provide “180 million in cash” to secure the release of Ke Wenzhe and Ying Xiaowei.
This substantial financial commitment raises questions about the severity of the accusations and the potential consequences facing the individuals involved. The court’s insistence on a large cash security suggests a concern that the accused might attempt to flee or obstruct the investigation.
Ongoing Investigation and Potential Outcomes
The investigation remains active, and officials have not yet concluded their questioning of witnesses. The possibility of a joint confession, as highlighted by reports, could significantly alter the trajectory of the case. An “extermination certificate” would effectively close the matter, indicating a full accounting of events and acceptance of responsibility.
The extended detention period allows investigators additional time to gather evidence and build a stronger case. The court’s actions demonstrate a commitment to a thorough investigation and a determination to reach a just resolution. The case continues to unfold, and further developments are expected in the coming months.
