Chapter 303: Chapter 303 Both Sides Have No Evidence

”Alright, I got it. Just wait at the police station, I’ll be there soon.”

After calming Feng Yi’s emotions, Kang Li put the handset back on the cradle, and said to Mrs. Qi, ”Feng Yi called and said that Mo Yan was falsely accused by a customer of stealing his money,

and he’s been taken to the nearby police station. Feng Yi got scared and called my house, hoping I could talk about it and see if I could help Mo Yan. Since I wasn’t home, he called you. Godmother, should I go have a look?”

Half a month earlier, Mo Yan had taken a temporary job at a public bathhouse close to his home, introduced through an acquaintance.

Back scrubbing, that’s right, scrubbing customers’ backs, with a monthly salary of 18, not including food and accommodation.

Thinking having a job wasn’t easy and he was young and strong, Mo Yan promptly started working.

But who could have expected that, despite everything going well these days, an incident would happen today.

He was accused by a customer of stealing five yuan from his trouser pocket.

Mo Yan explained he didn’t take it but the customer insisted it was him and would not let it go. He called the police, and just like that, Mo Yan was taken from his post by comrades from the nearby police station in front of many customers and colleagues more than ten minutes ago.

Five yuan wasn’t much, but at the time it amounted to about one-fifth to one-quarter of an ordinary worker’s monthly wage.

The situation could be serious or trivial.

If the money were returned to the customer and he chose not to pursue the matter, then all would be well. Otherwise, Mo Yan might be locked up for a while and would carry the stigma of being a thief.

However, these outcomes presupposed that Mo Yan indeed took the money. The problem was, Mo Yan hadn’t done such a thing. At the time the customer lost his money, Mo Yan was resting in the break room and there was no one to prove that he hadn’t left the room during that period.

After listening to Kang Li, Mrs. Qi didn’t hesitate, ”Go on, I’ll take care of Ruirui and the others, nothing will happen.” In Mrs. Qi’s heart, though Kang Li was young, she was steady and responsible, so Mrs. Qi felt assured about Kang Li going to the police station to clear things up for Mo Yan.

...

”If you didn’t take the money, naturally you can’t admit to it. Don’t worry, I’ll talk to the comrades at the police station and the person who lost the money.” At the police station, after getting permission from the police, Kang Li met with Mo Yan in an office with Feng Yi. Upon hearing the full story from Mo Yan, Kang Li gave the young man a reassuring look. Then she greeted an office worker and went to find the police officer in charge of Mo Yan’s case.

”You are...?”

Wang Xiaobo had just started working at the police station and couldn’t believe that within a week, he’d get to handle a minor case all by himself. When he first saw Kang Li, a fleeting flash of amazement passed through his eyes.

”I’m Mo Yan’s sister. I’ve heard the details from Mo Yan and I believe my brother would never commit such a petty theft,” Kang Li stated her position clearly and calmly the moment she spoke. Just as her voice fell, a middle-aged man in his forties, slightly overweight, burst out, ”Young lady, you mean to say your brother didn’t steal my money?! Where’s your evidence? Show me the evidence!”

Kang Li: ”And what evidence do you have to prove that it was my brother who took your money?” With serenity evident in her beautiful, fox-like eyes, Kang Li gazed at him and said, ”According to the time you mentioned, nobody can prove that my brother stayed in the break room,

but neither can anyone prove that he went to the customers’ changing room, and certainly no one saw him open the locker where you kept your clothes,”
