At this moment, Guo Tianlai was overwhelmed with emotion.
He had waited so long, finally, someone believed in his son’s innocence!
His eyes reddened with tears, and he suddenly knelt down before Luo Fei.
"Officer, please help our family!"
"Uncle Guo, what are you doing? Stand up. I’m here today to help you."
Luo Fei quickly helped him up.
Hearing that he would help, Guo Tianlai was moved to tears, unable to say anything, he could only thank him over and over again.
"Alright, Uncle Guo, don’t be too emotional. Although I believe in Guo Jing, the current situation is very unfavorable for him. If we want to save him, we must find the doubts in this case, then I can help overturn it."
"So now you must tell me everything you know without leaving anything out."
"Alright, I’ll tell you."
Guo Tianlai nodded solemnly, "The matter must start from July 25th last year. That day, I happened to be off work, around 6 p.m., the police suddenly came knocking, saying that Guo Jing was involved in the robbery case from a few days ago."
"I was frightened, quickly asked Guo Jing, he was very anxious and kept saying he hadn’t killed anyone, but the police found a gun in his room, so they detained him... I couldn’t see him, so I hired a lawyer to visit him."
"At that time, he also told the lawyer he hadn’t killed anyone, that he didn’t do it... I thought the police would quickly clear things up and release him... But who would’ve thought, he was convicted in the end and sentenced to death."
Luo Fei listened intently until he finished speaking, then asked, "Do you know anything about that gun?"
"I don’t know, I’m also puzzled about where it came from."
"Do you remember who visited your home between July 19th and 25th?"
Neither the father nor the son knew where the gun came from, but it couldn’t have appeared out of thin air.
So, the greatest possibility was that someone snuck it in while they weren’t paying attention.
But since it was in their house, it’s unlikely someone from outside could sneak in, so Luo Fei guessed that the culprit should be someone familiar or known to their family and took the chance to hide it under Guo Jing’s bed during a visit.
Of course, it’s not ruled out that the culprit was a stranger who sneaked in, but the probability is very small. Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs 𝗇𝗈𝗏𝖾𝗅✦𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾✦𝗇𝖾𝗍
After all, if the culprit had such abilities, there would be no need for home robbery, they could directly change it to home theft.
Guo Tianlai thought hard, but in the end, he helplessly shook his head.
"It’s been too long, I really can’t remember clearly, and since I usually work and am not home, I’m not very clear about who came to visit."
"Then think about whether there’s someone you know who has a similar height and weight to Guo Jing?"
Based on the clues currently gathered, the police identified Guo Jing as the culprit mainly for roughly three reasons.
The shoe prints at the crime scene, the gun at home, and the mysterious computer.
However, the shoe print clue doesn’t necessarily prove the culprit is Guo Jing, after all, there are so many people in the world, it’s not surprising to find a few people with similar height and weight.
Moreover, Zhang Wei also said that based on the comparison between Guo Jing’s footprints and those at the scene, they were only somewhat matching but not a definite match.
"There are quite a few people with a similar height to Guo Jing..."
"List all of them, I’ll visit them one by one later."
Following that, Guo Tianlai indeed mentioned quite a few names, Luo Fei noted down their addresses and relationships quickly on his notebook.
"Lastly, do you know where the money for Guo Jing’s purchase of that laptop came from?"
This should be considered the most serious piece of evidence against Guo Jing, and it’s also the key evidence directly convicting him.
If this could be clarified, perhaps the case would become clearer.
"I only know he has a habit of saving money, but I’m not sure how much he saved... It’s all my fault, I’ve been busy earning money to pay debts, not caring enough about him..."
Guo Tianlai wasn’t clear about the origin of the money initially, especially since he couldn’t see Guo Jing while he was detained.
By the time he could see him, he had already been sentenced to death, filled with despair, unwilling to talk about these things, so to this day, Guo Tianlai remains unclear on this question.
He feels very guilty about this, always thinking that if he had cared more about Guo Jing’s daily life, his son wouldn’t have gotten into trouble without him knowing anything about it.
"Then think carefully, besides your pocket money, what other channels does he have to save money, try to recall every aspect, this is very important."
"Our family conditions aren’t great, so I’ve always been quite strict with money. I only give him eight hundred a month for living expenses..."
"Wait, are you saying that besides pocket money, he has extra living expenses every month?"
This was something Zhang Wei and the others hadn’t mentioned before.
Guo Tianlai nodded, "Yes, because I’m usually busy with work and have no time to cook for him, he has to solve three meals a day at school, so that eight hundred is his meal allowance."
"But I heard people say, high school seniors need to eat better in their final year, so in the latter half of senior year, his monthly living expenses were twelve hundred."
"What about weekends?"
"On weekends, I would give him ten or twenty, to buy groceries and cook at home."
"Is Guo Jing extravagant with money?"
"No, he knows our family’s situation, so he’s very understanding, he’s never asked for extra money, he even saves from his living expenses to pay school fees, I’ve told him off for that a few times after I found out."
