Chapter 170: Insufficient evidence!
Su Mengxue stood up from her chair with a thud and said anxiously, "Comrade Public Security, she kidnapped me from the hospital with a dagger today. She kidnapped me because she told me about the poisoning and arson."
"She was afraid I would report her, so she wanted to take me with her to flee Shanghai. She planned to wait until we reached Haicheng before moving to another place. To her surprise, we ran into Gu Yunting at the train station, disrupting her plans. She felt she couldn't escape, so she got angry and attacked me while Gu Yunting was buying her ticket."
She wanted to continue explaining to the public security comrade, but the public security comrade waved at her and motioned her to sit down.
When he saw the serious look on the public security officer's face, he thought that things might not be that simple.
As she expected, the police said that their house was badly burned, so they couldn't find any evidence of her parents being drugged, the mastermind behind the fire, or the cause of the fire.
Unless the suspect comes forward, this case will be a cold case.
When Su Mengxue heard this, her heart sank instantly. How could Lu Xin, who was so cunning and cowardly, admit it on his own initiative?
The reason she admitted it just now was because she didn't know the extent of the damage to the house. Now she is denying it. It seems that she knows about the house, and this matter will be difficult to deal with.
Su Mengxue's eyes darkened as she pressed the issue, "Comrade Public Security, I don't have any evidence, but I can assure you that Lv Xin is the instigator of this. Otherwise, why would she leave Shanghai when she was perfectly fine? Isn't it because she's feeling guilty and wants to run away?"
The public security officer said sternly, "Comrade, you must provide evidence for everything you say. Also, the comrade from our station who interrogated her said that Lu Xin not only denies the incident, but she also claims you abducted her at knifepoint when she went to the train station. And the subsequent pursuit of you with a knife was also self-defense."
Su Mengxue sneered when she heard this. She didn't expect Lu Xin to be such a shameless person.
Just as she was about to retort, Gu Yunting spoke first: "Comrade Public Security, where is the surveillance footage from the train station?"
Su Mengxue suddenly realized what was going on. Yes, train stations should have surveillance cameras in this era. It was her negligence.
The public security officer's face darkened. "The surveillance cameras at the train station have been broken for a week, and we haven't installed the new ones yet, so there's no video footage."
"What a coincidence?" Su Mengxue frowned. "There must be surveillance cameras in the hospital corridors, right?"
"Our comrades have already checked the hospital. There's no surveillance in the inpatient department. Also, the route you took was very remote, and the hospital's surveillance footage is limited, so they didn't capture any footage."
When Meng Xue heard this, she really wanted to curse. Why is she so mean?
But she also knew in her heart that this was not the time to get angry. If Lu Xin was not convicted, then Gu Yunting would not be considered to have acted in self-defense and he would be in danger.
After lowering her eyes for a few moments, she calmly asked, "Comrade Public Security, when Lu Xin attacked me with a knife, there was a group of people around. Where are those people?"
"They are roughly divided into two groups. Some say they only saw Gu Yunting stabbing Lu Xin with a knife, while others say they saw Lu Xin chasing you with a knife."
Su Mengxue blurted out, "Comrade Public Security, that's right. It was because Lu Xin was chasing me with a knife and Gu Yunting saw her that he accidentally injured her in order to save me."
The public security officer said solemnly, "Lü Xin insisted. She said you kidnapped her and she was forced to chase you with a knife. She also said you and Gu Yunting have a child, so he's your accomplice."
"Not only that, she also said that you kidnapped her and left Shanghai in order to take advantage of this opportunity to pin the blame for the fire on her, making your parents hate her as their adopted daughter and monopolizing the Lu family's wealth in the future."
"That bastard Lu Xin is talking nonsense. I really want to tear his mouth apart!" Meng Xue couldn't help but slam the table and stood up suddenly from the chair.
"Female comrade, please sit down immediately!" the public security officer ordered sternly.
Meng Xue realized that she was overly emotional and quickly sat down.
The public security officer glanced at the two of them and said sternly, "If you can't produce new evidence, the current situation will be very unfavorable to you, especially Gu Yunting. He stabbed someone with a knife, which is a serious crime."
"If you have the time to argue with me, you might as well hurry up and find evidence to prove Gu Yunting's innocence."
As soon as these words were spoken, the air froze instantly.
Su Mengxue turned to look at Gu Yunting, who was sitting upright beside her, and comforted him, "Gu Yunting, believe me, I will definitely find evidence, and you will be fine."
There was no solemn expression on Gu Yunting's face from beginning to end. On the contrary, his eyes were full of tenderness and smiles when he looked at Su Mengxue.
What made him laugh was that Su Mengxue actually cared about him so much.
He paused and said, "Mengxue, I believe in our country and the law. The judge will definitely give me a fair ruling in the end. Don't worry anymore."
"good."
Su Mengxue responded readily, but she was worried in her heart, but she didn't want to show it in front of Gu Yunting.
At this moment, someone knocked on the door and came in. He whispered a few words to the public security comrades present and then pushed the door open and left.
Then the public security officer said to Su Mengxue, "Su Mengxue, your family is here to pick you up. Just sign the transcript and you can leave."
Family? Lui Che Wo and Chow Wai Chun are currently hospitalized. Who else could come pick her up besides them?
She thought for a moment, then calmly glanced at Gu Yunting, who was sitting next to her, and asked the public security officer, "Is it Lu Yuanzhou who came?"
The public security officer nodded and said, "Okay, if you really want to save Gu Yunting, then hurry up and go out and find evidence."
Su Mengxue turned her head and glanced at Gu Yunting, then said firmly, "Gu Yunting, you must believe me. I will definitely rescue you."
Gu Yunting smiled at her gently: "I know."
"Then I'll leave first?"
"good."
"Um."
Although their answers were brief, their words revealed their care and trust for each other.
After Su Mengxue signed the transcript, she walked out of the interrogation room, looking back every step of the way.
When she saw Lu Yuanzhou, before she could say anything, she heard Lu Yuanzhou say, "Mengxue, Zihao is still young. I asked him to wait in the car. Have you thought about how to tell him about this?"
Su Mengxue's eyes darkened, and then she shook her head.
Seeing that Su Mengxue was a little absent-minded, Lu Yuanzhou knew that she was worried about Gu Yunting. After considering it for a moment, he added, "Then, Gu Yunting, how are you going to tell Zihao?"
