Chapter 166: Ignorant of the Laws!
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
However, even though Chuanzi was seething with anger, in Su Xuan’s eyes, it was rely a sign of guilt. After all, as soon as Su Xuan laid eyes on him, the system had already tagged him with the accusation, and his guilt level was glaringly displayed above his head.
But when Su Xuan rembered what Zhou Qiang had said earlier, that this person had not cooperated with the investigation since entering, he decided to employ a different interrogation thod. If being gentle didn’t work, he would try to break through the psychological defenses.
After all, wasn’t Zhou Qiang using a gentle approach earlier?
Watching Chuanzi lose control in front of him, Su Xuan squinted his eyes. He didn’t utter a word, but his ssage was clear.
Chuanzi t his gaze, growing even angrier. He gritted his teeth and slamd his fist on the table. “I’ve already said it. It wasn’t ! Why would I kill him? What benefit would I gain from murder? I wouldn’t kill anyone…”
As he spoke, he began to feel like Su Xuan was getting into his head.
Taking a deep breath, he closed his eyes, ignoring whatever Su Xuan might say next.
Observing this, Su Xuan seed to understand why Zhou Qiang had claid earlier that this guy wasn’t cooperating. It wasn’t just a matter of non-cooperation, it was willful silence driven by guilt.
So, this guy believed that as long as he didn’t speak, all of this would be over, right?
Su Xuan gave Chuanzi a deep look, then stood up and walked out of the room. Chuanzi, upon hearing the sound of the door, breathed a sigh of relief.
“Damn it…”
In the monitoring room, he muttered curses under his breath.
Chuanzi thought he had it all figured out. As long as he kept his mouth shut, the police wouldn’t have any evidence against him, and when the ti ran out, they would have to let him go.
But…
Ten minutes later, Su Xuan hurriedly walked back in.
“So, tell , where did that extra half a million in your account suddenly co from?” His expression turned serious.
Earlier, Su Xuan had gone out to review everything Zhou Qiang had investigated. When he examined the financial records, he noticed sothing odd. Further investigation revealed that Chuanzi’s account had inexplicably gained an additional half a million a week ago, just one day before the victim, Zhou Hao, died. This money had taken a complicated path before landing in Chuanzi’s account. But no matter how complicated it was, how could soone like Chuanzi, who couldn’t even afford luxury items, suddenly co into so much money?
It was a planned murder.
But upon discovering this, Su Xuan felt a bit overwheld. After all, the deceased, Zhou Hao, was known as a kind-hearted person who seldom had conflicts with others. According to previous investigations, everyone related to Zhou Hao, whether it was Su Xuan or Zhou Qiang, had been considered potential suspects. However, they had never thought that Zhou Hao’s death was a result of a planned murder.
“What do you an by ‘suddenly having an extra half a million’? That was my money!” Chuanzi’s face changed, and he clenched his teeth in response.
That money belonged to him, it was rightfully his!
“Whether it’s yours or not, isn’t for you to decide,” Su Xuan sneered. “Is it worth it for a bonus? Bonuses can be earned again, girlfriends can be found again, but once you’ve killed soone, you’ll spend the rest of your life in prison.”
“Or are you suggesting that with our police abilities, we couldn’t have uncovered all of this?” Su Xuan’s words were harsh, and Chuanzi found them hard to accept.
He took a deep breath, and his face grew increasingly unsightly in response to Su Xuan’s words. Finally, he forcefully opened his eyes, and his expression beca twisted.
“Since you already know, what else is there to ask?” He burst into laughter. “Haha, I just wanted to kill that idiot Zhou Hao! If it weren’t for him, I would never have broken up with my girlfriend. She had already decided to marry , and if I could have gotten that bonus, I would have married her…”
“It’s his fault that I couldn’t get married!”
As Chuanzi spoke, his gaze fixed on Su Xuan, and his face contorted. “So, I wanted to kill him! He ruined the second half of my life. Is it too much to ask for his life in return?”
As he spoke, Chuanzi’s face even displayed a sinister expression, as if he didn’t believe he had done anything wrong.
Hearing those words, Su Xuan took in a sharp breath of cold air. It was clear from Chuanzi’s words that he didn’t have much understanding of morality or the law. To kill soone for a bonus and still not realize the gravity of his actions…
Sigh…
“If you did this for the 500,000, then it’s a pity because that 500,000 is going to be seized as ill-gotten gains,” Su Xuan said with a serious expression. In his view, this guy might be motivated by money. As expected, the mont he said this, Chuanzi’s face changed dramatically.
“That’s my money! Why do you have the right to treat it as ill-gotten gains?” he exclaid. “It’s my own money, you can’t do this! Are you trying to threaten ? Are you trying to make confess? Are you people just confiscating the money of ordinary citizens like this?”
Chuanzi had been rolling around in society for many years, but in Su Xuan’s eyes, he seed like an illiterate person who didn’t even understand basic laws.
“Brother…” Su Xuan continued. “I have to remind you of sothing – you killed soone. What makes you think that after committing such a cri, we would let you walk away and spend money freely?”
Su Xuan looked at him with a serious expression, stating a fact. “Murder demands a life, debts must be repaid. You will pay the price for Zhou Hao’s death!”
Upon hearing this, Chuanzi began to feel fear creeping in. He realized that the person standing in front of him was a police officer!
“It’s not my business!”
“I just took the money to do a job for soone. I didn’t kill that person! The one who gave the money killed him…”
“No, it’s not my business…”
“Officer, you can’t just arrest like this…”
“Even if Zhou Hao is really dead, what does it have to do with ? I just took soone else’s money to help out. If you want to arrest soone, it should be the person who gave the money…”
Chuanzi’s face turned pale as he desperately tried to distance himself from the situation. He spoke frantically to Su Xuan, making it clear that he didn’t care if he took the fall.
Su Xuan:…
He couldn’t believe this. Even soone with just a basic education should know better!
Su Xuan couldn’t stand it any longer. He stood up and walked out of the room.
Outside the interrogation room, he ran into Zhou Qiang, who had also just co out.
“Old Su, how’s it going on your end?”
“Is this guy being stubborn?”
“You’re too soft-spoken. I hadn’t even started talking, and he was already admitting his guilt…”
“Wait a minute…”
“But didn’t he already confess?”
Zhou Qiang frowned deeply.
“Sigh…”
“Why do I still feel like sothing’s not quite right?”
