This man is the child's uncle, named Guo Kai.

Lin Lan is actually very pitiful.

According to Jiahao, her family was originally very wealthy, but her husband was a gambling addict who squandered all their money and even incurred a lot of debt.

Half a year ago, her husband died in a car accident due to drunk driving, which made the already difficult situation even worse!

Fortunately, Guo Kai has been taking care of them and has also helped them pay off some of the debts.

The little girl saw Jiahao and was very happy, running over to him.

Guo Kai is not much of a talker; he just smiled at me and nodded politely.

“Brother Kai, this is my friend Yang Yuxuan, a lawyer who is defending my sister. We came to see Jia Jia for a matter.”

Upon hearing my identity, Guo Kai seemed very hospitable and invited us inside.

“How is sister-in-law? Is there any hope?”

He looked at me, eyes filled with urgency.

“She is not cooperating with us. Her current situation is very unfavorable. All I can say is that I will do my best.”

We recorded a video with Jia Jia;

In the video, the child cried like a tearful little angel.

She stretched out her little arms for a hug, asking when her mother would come back.

She kept saying she missed

her mother!

We hoped that upon seeing this, she would be moved and develop a desire to survive.

When we visited the detention center the second time, she looked much more haggard than before.

“Sister Lan, I don't know what you're thinking, but I can tell that deep down you don't want to live. But have you thought of her?”

I took out my phone, and in the video, Jia Jia's innocent little face immediately broke her composure, and tears started to flow.

“She already lost her father. Are you going to let her lose her mother too? Do you know how hard it will be for a child with no parents to live in this world?”

She fell silent, slowly lowered her head, and didn't dare to look at the video anymore.

“Her father squandered all the family assets due to gambling, and her mother is a murderer. How will she face those around her?”

My words seemed to shake her. She looked up at me, wanting to speak but hesitated.

Seeing that she was somewhat shaken, I seized the opportunity to hope for the truth to come out.

“Sister Lan, tell me, what is really going on? I believe you didn't kill someone for no reason.”

She tightly clasped her hands together, looking down, silent;

The silence was so deep that you could almost hear the breathing.

Ten minutes later, she slowly raised her head and looked at me.

“I worked at his factory. My family has a lot of debts, and I really needed that job. But he kept harassing me.”

“Sister! Jia Tianwei made a move on you? That vile man! He even dared to lay a hand on my sister!”

Jiahao was instantly furious.

“No, I always refused him. But he kept harassing me, threatening to lay me off.”

“So you lured him over and killed him?”

“He came by himself. That night, he was drunk and told me to spend the night with him. If I refused again, he would fire me. When he tried to assault me, I picked up the fruit knife on the table and stabbed him to death.”

“According to Article 20 of the Criminal Law, this constitutes justifiable defense! If what you're saying is true, you don't need to bear criminal responsibility.”

Hearing this, I was excited and stood up. This was the result everyone had hoped for. But why didn't she tell the police this sooner?

Was it because she was ignorant of the law? Or was there some other reason?

“Is that really the case? If I say this, will I be released immediately?”

Her eyes lit up at my words, looking somewhat excited.

“Definitely not immediately. They still need to investigate your circumstances further. Only if they can prove that it was justifiable defense can you be exonerated.”

“Then forget it. I have no evidence to prove myself. It seems I'm destined to die.”

Her eyes dimmed again. She sighed and smiled bitterly.

“Sister Lan, don't worry. As long as it was self-defense, I will find evidence to help you. The first trial is coming up; you just need to tell them what you said to us, and there is still time.”

“Don't bother. Just don't worry about this anymore. I still insist, please take care of my daughter.”

She shook her head and turned to leave.

Lin Lan's reaction made me puzzled. She seemed very resistant to finding evidence.

Why could this be? Was she making up a story just now?
