Chapter 140 Truly Wronged (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Votes)_2


"No need, no need, comrade. You're a good person, I trust you won't deceive me... I'll be leaving now."

Watching Guo Tianlai actually leave, Luo Fei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

However, since he had promised him, he definitely couldn't break his word.

So when he went to work in the morning, Luo Fei indeed went to find Zhao Donglai to talk about the incident with Guo Tianlai.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Donglai was instantly infuriated, "He's causing trouble again? Why is this person so obstinate?"

Yesterday, although Guo Tianlai caused a huge commotion, considering his situation, Zhao Donglai eventually just gave him a verbal reprimand, letting his brother and sister-in-law take him back home.

He thought the other party would at least calm down for a couple of days, but unexpectedly he showed up again early this morning.

"It seems we can't be soft-hearted anymore. If he continues, we'll detain him for a few days, let him learn the seriousness!"

"Captain Zhao, I don't think Guo Tianlai is an unreasonable person; the real issue stems from Guo Jing."

"Captain Lu mentioned before that from arrest to conviction, Guo Jing kept insisting on his innocence. Perhaps this is why Guo Tianlai has always believed his son was wrongfully accused."

"So I request to visit Guo Jing at the detention center. If he confesses, maybe Guo Tianlai will settle down."

Luo Fei's proposal made Zhao Donglai's eyes light up, "That's a good idea. I'll arrange it immediately."

Perhaps due to being truly fed up, in order to quickly resolve this matter, Zhao Donglai immediately called Yongjiang Detention Center, where Guo Jing was held.

The other side quickly approved the visit.

After lunch, Luo Fei indeed went to Yongjiang Detention Center.

After speaking with the guard officer, he successfully met with Guo Jing.

Luo Fei came with the intention of fulfilling Guo Tianlai's wish, intending only to go through the motions.

However, when Guo Jing was brought in, Luo Fei noticed something amiss at first glance.

Anyone who has committed a crime can't hide from his Eye of Sin.

Especially murderers, the black aura would form little human shapes, and no matter how brutal the murderer, they couldn't escape his gaze.

Yet at this moment, he looked at Guo Jing and couldn't find a trace of black aura!

He was shocked, could it be that the other party was indeed wronged?!

His expression immediately became serious.

"Hello Guo Jing, I am Luo Fei from the city detective squad."

When Guo Jing was arrested, he had just turned nineteen, a vibrant age.

But now his expression was numb, and his whole body exuded a deathly aura, as if he had resigned to his fate.

Faced with Luo Fei's introduction, he didn't even lift an eyelid, maintaining his silence.

"Guo Jing, I'm here on your father's behalf. If you truly have been wronged, you can tell me."

Upon hearing this, Guo Jing finally reacted.

He curled his lips into a smirk, full of sarcasm, "Tell you? Will it help?"

Ever since he was arrested, he had claimed countless times it wasn't him, but did any policeman believe him?

Now, he had completely lost faith in this group.

He had nothing more to say to them.

Luo Fei also realized that he had lost trust in the police.

Or more precisely, he had lost hope in everything, despairingly accepting his impending fate...

This was not a good sign.

If not even he would fight for himself, there was no reason to re-investigate the case, let alone exonerate him.

"Guo Jing, you may not trust the police, but you should trust your father."

"He firmly believes you didn't commit murder, which is why he's been tirelessly pleading with our detective squad. Otherwise, I wouldn't be sitting here talking to you."

"Your father, at his age, has been running around tirelessly for you, facing countless hardships, yet never giving up. Don't you want to fight for yourself one more time?"

Luo Fei's words indeed had an effect.

Upon hearing about Guo Tianlai, Guo Jing, who resigned to awaiting death, began to waver internally.

In truth, at such a prime age, who really wants to die?

He just didn't have any more options...

He looked at Luo Fei, full of doubt, "Does it really matter if I talk to you?"

Although meetings with prisoners didn't require talking through glass, the meeting room was still monitored.

So Luo Fei couldn't openly promise, only subtly hint, "I can't guarantee it will definitely help, but if you talk, you still have a chance, whereas if you don't talk, you have no chance at all."

"Alright, I'll talk."

Guo Jing ultimately decided to fight for himself once more; after all, even if he lost, the result wouldn't be worse than the death penalty.

"I didn't kill anyone, nor did I rob anyone. I can swear to the heavens, I'm not lying."

He looked directly into Luo Fei's eyes, without any hint of evasion or guilt.

"Then tell me in detail why the police suspect you as the murderer and where you believe you're being wronged."

Since he wasn't clear about the entire case, he could only rely on Guo Jing to recall.

Meanwhile, to facilitate recording, he quickly took out his notebook and pen.

"It's because of the gun. They found a gun at my house, and it had my fingerprints on it, so they concluded I was the culprit."

"You're saying the gun used by the robber in the shooting was found at your house? So where did the gun come from?"

"I don't know... I've never seen that thing, but when they found it in my room, I was puzzled too."

Seeing him shake his head painfully, Luo Fei also felt the case was somewhat perplexing.

He could determine Guo Jing wasn't lying, but how did the gun end up at his house?

And how could there be his fingerprints on it?

This didn't make sense at all...

After asking him a few more questions, Luo Fei finally had a rough understanding of the situation.

Initially, the police found the murder weapon under Guo Jing's bed, and with the fingerprints on it, they identified him as the killer and took him away for investigation.

Later, they discovered that during the two days of the incident, Guo Jing claimed he was at home, yet no one could verify it for him, hence concluding she was the killer.

As for the crucial convicting evidence, Guo Jing wasn't very clear either; Luo Fei would have to investigate it himself.

Finally, Luo Fei closed his notebook, "Alright, I have a general idea of the situation now."

"Officer Luo, will you really help me?"

"Your case does indeed have some doubts, so I'll report everything truthfully when I get back and try to advocate for you."

"You shouldn't worry too much, and believe that the law won't let any criminal go free, nor will it wrong any innocent person."

"Alright, Officer Luo, I trust you!"

Realizing that finally, someone was willing to believe him, Guo Jing nodded excitedly, finally showing some of the youthful spirit he should have had.

After leaving the detention center, Luo Fei headed straight for the detective squad.

"Captain Zhao, I have something to report."

"What's the situation?"

"Captain Zhao, I suspect Guo Jing might truly be wrongfully accused, and the suspect in the robbery and shooting case might be someone else."

Luo Fei's astounding assertion startled Zhao Donglai.

"Luo Fei, don't joke around. This isn't something to say lightly."

To prevent wrongful convictions, the criminal case verification in public security has a very strict and complex set of rules.

Which is why many cases, despite having clear facts, are sent back for retrial when submitted to the prosecutor's office.

So if this truly is a wrongful case, it could implicate many people.

Especially Lu Jianfei, who was responsible for investigating this case, would be directly affected.

"Captain Zhao, when have I ever joked about something like this?"

Luo Fei was dead serious.

Given this wasn't a joke, Zhao Donglai had no choice but to take it seriously.

"Luo Fei, can you honestly tell me why you think the real killer is someone else?"

"Intuition. From talking with Guo Jing, I could sense he didn't kill anyone."

"... Luo Fei, sometimes intuition isn't always accurate."

"But Captain Zhao, after handling so many cases, when has my intuition ever been wrong?"

Zhao Donglai was at a loss for words.

"Captain Zhao, I know you've always had a good relationship with Captain Lu, so it's understandable not to believe they made a mistake, but I dare to guarantee, Guo Jing truly is innocent."
