Since ancient tis, the human heart has been the most unpredictable.
Luke had understood this saying very early on, and he had roughly guessed Jin Xiuhui's motive for committing the cri.
In her youth, Jin Xiuhui had been in a better position than her cousin Li Shani and had always been helping her cousin.
There was a certain affection between the two.
But the world is full of changes, and so are the relationships between people.
With Jin Xiuhui's help, Li Shani had found her footing in Los Angeles, married a good husband, and her life was getting better and wealthier.
On the contrary, Jin Xiuhui's life was at a standstill, and she had even divorced her husband.
Before questioning Jin Xiuhui, Luke had also done so investigation into her circumstances.
Jin Xiuhui's financial situation was actually alright; although she was divorced, she received alimony every month. Even without working, she could ensure a basic living.
People are afraid of comparison.
Seeing her own life a ss while her cousin's prospered, becoming the owner of a supermarket, the status and circumstances of the two subtly transford.
The cousin who used to be inferior in every aspect was now better in everything, inevitably leading to a feeling of disparity in Jin Xiuhui's heart.
If the two didn't et, it would have been okay, but since both lived in the Korean community, they t frequently and that disparity surfaced daily.
Over ti, this easily leads to psychological issues.
Put simply, Jin Xiuhui didn't wish her cousin ill, she just did not want her cousin to do better than herself.
The truly difficult poisoning cases to crack are the random poisonings, with no grudges, no interests at stake, the poisoner not knowing who might end up poisoned to death.
These cases are the hardest to find clues.
And the red wine poisoning case did not belong to the random category, and in theory, should not have been difficult to solve.
Such targeted poisoning cases are usually accompanied by interest and grudges.
For example, by asking who had conflicts with the victim or who had conflicts of interest, those who stood to gain had a motive for the cri and could be the poisoning suspects.
In summary, harm others to benefit oneself.
But the difficulty with this case was that Jin Xiuhui and her cousin did not have any conflicts or conflicts of interest.
To put it plainly, she had no clear motive and could not gain anything tangible from this poisoning case.
Even if Luke told Li Shani that Jin Xiuhui had poisoned the Jiangnan Supermarket, she might not believe it.
Jin Xiuhui was harming others without benefiting herself.
"It doesn't matter if I don't gain anything, as long as you take a loss, if you're unhappy, then I'm happy."
This kind of ntality is terrifying, to be avoided.
But it is also not uncommon.
It's just that many people only think about it.
In this phase, the truly tornted person is you, the other party doesn't even know.
But Jin Xiuhui acted.
As a result, both parties were in pain.
Having figured out the other party's motive for the cri, the whole case beca clear.
Luke continued the interrogation, "Describe your cri in detail."
Jin Xiuhui wiped her nose with a tissue, "You've already guessed just now."
"You need to say it yourself."
"Hmm..." Jin Xiuhui sighed heavily, "I really don't want to rember."
"You must do so." The red wine poisoning was just the appetizer, the really important case was the Visen bottled water poisoning.
Both poisoning incidents occurred in Shanyuan Supermarket, and the timing and thods were similar. According to Luke's experience, it could not be a coincidence; there had to be so connection.
It might even be the sa poisoner.
So, the tough battle was only just beginning.
"May I have a cup of coffee?"
Luke nodded.
Little Black poured a cup of coffee and handed it to Jin Xiuhui.
"Thank you." Jin Xiuhui took a sip of the coffee and started speaking slowly, "I had bought red wine beforehand from the Wiggins Supermarket and added a laxative to the red wine.
I was conflicted during that period, hesitating whether to proceed.
I knew there was a risk involved, and I thought about backing out.
One day I was notified that there would be a power outage around the supermarket on August 3rd. I knew the caras at the Jiangnan Supermarket would also be out, which presented an opportunity.
That bad idea took over again." Jin Xiuhui showed a regretful expression and wiped her tears again,
"That night at around eleven o'clock, I carried three bottles of poisoned red wine in my backpack to the Jiangnan Supermarket... and then I left.
I thought no one would know, no one would see.
But the next day an accident happened, the Jiangnan Supermarket was burglarized, and I was stunned, never expecting things to turn out this way.
I regretted it... If I had known it would end up like this, why would I risk poisoning.
I was also worried about being seen, but after more than ten days without any movent, I relaxed.
Until you guys ca to Jiangnan Supermarket...
I'm so stupid, why would I do such a thing, it not only didn't benefit , it also had living on tenterhooks every day.
I regret it so much, sob..."
With this confession, the red wine poisoning case was almost certainly resolved.
Luke listened carefully, jotting down the key points in his notebook and continued to ask,
"What about the second poisoning?"
Jin Xiuhui countered, "What second poisoning?"
"There have been two poisoning incidents at Shanyuan Supermarket, the first was the Cafila red wine poisoning case, the second was the Visen bottled water poisoning case.
Describe the reason and process of your second offense."
"No, I've never poisoned anyone in Shanyuan Supermarket, not even once. I have nothing to do with the Visen bottled water poisoning case," Jin Xiuhui denied.
Luke stared at her expression, "Both incidents happened at the sa location, in close ti proximity, with similar thods used, you say it has nothing to do with you, do you think the jury will believe that?"
