Chapter 176
When she was wrongly accused, all the evidence pointed to her and she was completely unable to defend herself.
"If it doesn't work, I'll go to that factory to investigate again. Maybe I can find evidence that is beneficial to your friend. Don't lose confidence until the end."
"I hope there will be loopholes in their setup." Gu Susu said helplessly.
Su Kangxi said: "Sister Su Su, we should believe in the evidence. People can lie, and evidence cannot lie. If you can't find any evidence that is beneficial to your friend, maybe your friend lied."
Gu Susu looked at Su Kangxi, who had an upright and sunny face. She did not continue to discuss the evidence with him, but asked: "Can you find Guo Mei's current home address?"
"This is not difficult, just wait a moment." Su Kangxi got up and went to check.
Su Kangxi quickly asked for Guo Mei's address, and the lawyer was also there when he came over.
The lawyer asked the police officer in charge of Guo Mei's theft case and said that there are regulations that only lawyers can see the client, and others are still not allowed to see Guo Mei.
Gu Susu had no choice but to wait outside, and Su Kangxi stayed with her.
"You don't have to work anymore? I can just wait by myself. Go and get busy." Gu Susu said, fearing that it would delay his work.
"There's nothing to do today, it's okay." Su Kangxi wanted to stay by Gu Susu's side as long as she had the chance.
Gu Susu smiled at him and said, "Thank you."
They waited for more than two hours before the lawyer finally came out of custody and told them that the situation was similar to what they had heard.
"Can you help her clear her name?" Gu Susu asked.
The lawyer pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said: "Unless there is evidence to prove that what she said was not to go into the warehouse privately to get the box of diamond buttons, but to do things according to the orders of her superiors. Otherwise... otherwise..."
The lawyer hesitated to speak, but Gu Susu asked eagerly: "What will happen to her if there is no evidence to prove it?"
"The police will charge her with theft, and she will basically be convicted in court."
Gu Susu couldn't believe how those people could send an innocent person to jail so easily, "But aren't you the most experienced lawyer in this kind of lawsuit? You must have a way, right?"
"There is a way. I also asked the client, Ms. Guo, but she didn't agree." The lawyer said awkwardly.
Gu Susu asked: "What can I do?"
"Plead guilty, plead guilty now. Fortunately, none of those diamond buttons were lost, they were all returned. She has two children, her husband is still in prison, and one is still sick. She can use these to win sympathy and let the judge consider it at his discretion."
The sentence will be light or suspended."
Gu Susu couldn't accept it and said: "But she is innocent, why should she plead guilty? Even if she is given a light sentence, this crime will follow her throughout her life and she will never be able to get rid of it!"
"Whether you are innocent or not depends on the evidence." The lawyer said helplessly. "Besides pleading guilty, there is another way, which is to let Yimei not pursue the case. After all, they have not really lost anything. Let them not
I will sue Ms. Guo and the punishment will only be within the factory."
Gu Susu lowered her head, knowing that it was impossible for Yimei not to pursue the case. They deliberately wanted to frame Guo Mei, which was even harder to do than admitting guilt.
Seeing that Gu Susu didn't ask any more questions, the lawyer said: "Without evidence, there are only two options. What should you do? If you choose to plead guilty, you'd better advise the client. If you don't take the initiative to plead guilty, the judge will decide.
, the amount of theft is huge, and the sentence will be very severe."
"Okay, let's think about it again, thank you for your hard work." Gu Susu said and exchanged contact information with the lawyer, and then she learned that the lawyer's surname was Zhou.
After Lawyer Zhou left, Gu Susu saved Guo Mei's address and prepared to leave the police station.
Su Kangxi followed her and asked: "Sister Su Su, are you planning to go to Guo Mei's house now?"
Gu Susu hummed, and Su Kangxi said hurriedly: "Wait for me to change clothes and go with you."
"Okay." Gu Susu saw that he wanted to go, so she didn't let him go.
Before going to Guo Mei's house, Gu Susu and Su Kangxi went to the supermarket and bought a lot of food and daily necessities.
Fortunately, Su Kangxi was helping her carry a lot of things, otherwise she would not be able to carry them alone.
Carrying large and small bags, they arrived at an old-fashioned civil structure house, which was only two stories high. Guo Mei's family lived on the second floor.
The wooden stairs creak when you walk up. It seems that this house was built at least fifty or sixty years ago, and it is already an old residential area in this city.
When Gu Susu knocked on the door on the second floor, a middle-aged woman who looked to be in her forties or fifty with gray hair opened the door for them and asked in a trembling voice: "Who are you looking for?"
Gu Susu's face was full of smiles. Seeing that this woman's appearance was somewhat similar to Guo Mei's, she should be Guo Mei's mother.
"Hello, auntie. We are Guo Mei's colleagues. She was temporarily sent on a business trip and won't be back for a few days. We specially asked us to deliver some things to say goodbye to you."
At this time, a boy of five or six years old ran over from the house and stood timidly next to Guo Mei's mother and looked at them.
Gu Susu saw that the little boy was not much older than Little Xingxing, and his face was a little pale. He must be Guo Mei's sick little son.
Guo Mei's mother said strangely: "She has to go on a business trip. She can just call her back to say hello. Why do you have to make a trip?"
"I must have left in a hurry, and it's not convenient to make a phone call while on a business trip." Gu Susu said in an understatement.
Guo Mei's mother said: "Is something wrong with her? Her cell phone was always turned off when I called her."
"No, no." Gu Susu said and looked into the house, "Why don't you let us go in and put these things down first? She will be back in two days."
Guo Mei's mother looked at Gu Susu and Su Kangxi again and saw that they did not look like bad people, so she opened the door and let them into the house.
Gu Susu saw that the house was only about forty square meters, but it was divided into three rooms with wooden boards. It was already very crowded without any electrical appliances or furniture.
She couldn't imagine how Guo Mei's family lived together.
Gu Susu put down the bag in her hand and was about to leave, but Guo Mei's mother poured tea for them and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Did she tell you to bring so many things?"
"Yes, not much, not much." Gu Susu said after taking the tea cup.
"These things are enough for a week. She is going on a business trip somewhere. She won't be able to come back for a day or two, right?" Guo Mei's mother asked uneasily.
Gu Susu said vaguely: "It depends on the leader's intention and the situation. Now it is said to be two days. Maybe something happens and we can't come back. So Sister Guo asked us to buy more food, otherwise she wouldn't be able to come back."
rest assured."
"That's true. The whole family points out that she lives on a small salary. We can't help her with anything. We can only take care of herself so that she can feel at ease while working outside." Guo Mei's mother touched the head of the child next to her.
