Li Jindao watched Chen Xiao's phone on the table with apprehension.
But soon, he chuckled.
"President Xu should worry more about when he'll be executed. As for , if I did anything, Advisor Chen can just handcuff ."
After saying this, Li Jindao straightened his posture, losing interest in the conversation.
Chen Xiao called out Lin Xi's na into the phone, then hung up.
Looking at Li Jindao, he slowly opened his mouth:
"Let's get back to the main point. Why did you go to Peng Yuanqing?"
"It's simple. I have deep suspicions about Yuhong's death, so I wanted to ask him clearly."
"Then why did you run when you saw
chasing you?"
"I feared you'd misunderstand, but I didn't expect you'd be so fast."
Chen Xiao nodded with a smile, then asked:
"Where were you from 10:20 PM on the night of the incident to one o'clock the next day?"
Li Jindao replied, "At ho."
"Who can corroborate that?"
"My wife and my son can both confirm."
"So you're certain you, your son, and your wife were definitely at ho, right?"
"Of course."
Saying this, Li Jindao sneered, "Why? Are you suspecting ?"
"Of course I can suspect you. Otherwise, why would you run when you saw ?"
Though Chen Xiao said this, he was well aware of Li Jindao's current intentions.
The Li family had only one path to take.
But down this path, there would eventually be a fork in the road.
This path ant the Li Family would deny everything to the end.
But when circumstances changed and the fork appeared, in the end, Li Jindao would choose to take the fork and fall into the abyss alone.
Li Jindao's current attitude clearly conveyed his intentions to Chen Xiao.
So continuing to question further was actually aningless.
Chen Xiao stood up, placing his palm on Li Jindao's shoulder:
"Actually, when you appeared outside Peng Yuanqing's house and then fled upon seeing , both you and I knew this fork would inevitably appear if you continued forward."
"However, you still have a choice now, and I won't pressure you into admitting anything under these circumstances because I don't have the right."
"But I have to tell you, Peng Yuanqing has already admitted to taking advantage of Lian Yuhong while she was drunk. This undeniable fact is the root cause of Lian Yuhong's death. If you and Li Xi were the first to know this, then Peng Yuanqing should have been the first to die!"
Li Jindao remained silent.
Chen Xiao continued, "If Peng Yuanqing were indeed the one who died, I wouldn't care who in your family did it. I'd feel Peng Yuanqing deserved it. But the one who died, who should have also been a victim, was Lian Yuhong. So I must get to the bottom of this, and right now my primary focus will be your wife, Gu Rong!"
Li Jindao still kept silent, even closing his eyes.
Chen Xiao didn't mind: "Peng Yuanqing should have been brought in; he's not young enough to have succeeded all at once. And regardless of whether it was you, Gu Rong, or Li Xi who knew about this, it certainly wasn't because you caught him in the act; otherwise, this wouldn't still be a secret."
"Peng Yuanqing ntioned he had blackmailed Lian Yuhong, so now I need to ask him a question: what exactly did he use to blackmail her? When any of you saw the tool of blackmail, did you have the presence of mind to remove any traces you might have left when you found it?"
"Of course, the case has been ongoing for more than three days, and I only took over today. So in these past two or so days, you should have had ample ti to do so things, like erasing those traces."
Saying this, Chen Xiao released his grip, ending with:
"Don't think every arrangent is flawless. Rest assured... I'll keep an eye on your wife. She should already be with the criminal police team now!"
After Chen Xiao finished speaking, beneath Li Jindao's closed eyelids, his eyeballs were already moving incessantly.
The movent of his eyes indicated his mind was in turmoil.
Chen Xiao did not continue the conversation with him, instead turning to leave and dialing Qin Fei's number:
"Hello, Captain Qin, how's the interrogation with Peng Yuanqing going?"
"He's confessed to everything. Except for the first ti when he committed the cri by drugging, the rest were through blackmail. Because the scum was well-prepared, he even took photos. We're currently examining those photos, but..."
Chen Xiao glanced back at Li Jindao: "But the photos have been wiped clean, haven't they?"
"Yes, the situation isn't looking good; it seems soone's already dealt with it. However, we are conducting a more thorough inspection of where the photos were kept."
This outco didn't surprise Chen Xiao.
Precisely because he anticipated this, Chen Xiao had earlier shared his predictions with Li Jindao.
Nothing deters soone psychologically more than seeming to predict the future!
At this, Chen Xiao once again looked toward Li Jindao, asking over the phone, "Did Gu Rong see the scene when you obtained the photos, as well as the play I directed?"
"Of course. When I communicated with the technical staff, I deliberately gave her a chance to eavesdrop! In our conversation, we ntioned finding a single fingerprint on one of the photos."
"That's good. It's ti to test Mr. Li Jindao's marriage."
"That's why it has to be you, Mr. Chen. A case in your hands can't remain unresolved; you'll tear a hole in it the mont there's the slightest opening!"
Qin Fei spoke openly.
Chen Xiao didn't intend to conceal anything.
He allowed Li Jindao to hear it all unabashedly.
But Li Jindao still kept his eyes closed, thoughts unknown.
Until suddenly, he snapped his eyes open.
His reaction made Chen Xiao frown.
At that mont, Li Jindao appeared panicked and shouted:
"Stop investigating, I'm the one who forced Lian Yuhong to her death!"
Chen Xiao felt that this abrupt confession from Li Jindao was too sudden.
It seed he was truly panicked.
But panicked over what?
Chen Xiao didn't rush to respond to Li Jindao but instead recalled all the previous scenes.
It seed that when he heard Qin Fei ntion thorough inspections around the storage area, Li Jindao's fists clenched reflexively!
"Could it be that they ignored the marks on the drawer or cabinet where the disc was kept while cleaning off fingerprints and traces?"
"Thus, is Li Jindao's panic due to predicting that the police will inevitably find clues, prompting him to confess quickly!"
While Chen Xiao was pondering, Li Jindao had already stood up in a rage.
He pounded the table incessantly, making loud "thud thud" sounds.
"What do you want! I confess!"
"That night, I wasn't ho. After Li Xi fell asleep, I went to find Lian Yuhong. Every ti I went to Peng Yuanqing's house, I felt sothing was off, like he was watching sothing locked in his room. So I left myself a ntal note and found those photos!"
"Seeing those photos filled
with rage, and I thought Lian Yuhong was shaless, so I wanted her dead! Coincidentally, her father Lian Da had hung himself, so when I exposed the entire matter to Lian Yuhong, I guided her to hang herself like her father!"
"That's the whole story. Stop investigating, just stop!"
Li Jindao roared.
At this mont, Qin Fei pushed open the interrogation room door: "Mr. Chen, Gu Rong has confessed!"
As soon as these words fell, Li Jindao collapsed powerlessly into his chair, eyes full of pain.
