Chapter 333: Motive
Zhu Wen lowered her eyes and said coldly, “Miss Mo Li, you do know that you have to bear legal responsibility for these accusations.”
Mo Li ignored the threat. “As you said, it was Lin An who cut off the power line. The reason Lin An did it is very simple. It’s for exposure and air ti. When the power went out, he would co out as a savior by helping everyone fix the power line that he had damaged beforehand. However, Lin An didn’t expect Miss Zhu Wen would use this thing for her own purposes.
“Miss Zhu Wen also used the second chain to strangle Qian Yao and placed her beside the snowchipper and then set up the whole scene as I have described earlier.’
“Little girl, you speak like you were there in person. What evidence do you have?” Jiang Zhi challenged.
“Evidence?” Mo Li started at the two won. “The clearest evidence is the second chain. Where has it disappeared to? It couldn’t just disappear into thin air, so there is only one possibility. It is hiding in plain sight.” Mo Li turned to Xiao Rui, “Do you rember what you told about the snowchipper and its power source?”
“Yes, you were confused about how the machine could operate when the power was out and I took you the machine has been modified to operate on fuel as well…” At that mont, the reality hit Xiao Rui. “No wonder you told Kang Zhi to take apart that machine!”
“That’s right. If a machine can use diesel fuel to run, then it would have an opening for one to inject the oil. Normally the opening for such an oil tank would be about 50 mm. The chain would have an easy ti slipping down it. I wonder if that counts as evidence, Miss Jiang Zhi?”
Jiang Zhi was befuddled. She only stuffed Lin An inside the snow chipper and did nothing else. How did Zhu Wen get involved in it?
“Mo Li, you’re right. We found this inside the machine’s oil tank!” Kang Zhi ca in then.
“Wonderful. Show them the evidence.”
“Okay, we found this chain inside the fuel tank. Through inspection by Doctor Lu Xuan, we found Miss Qian Yao’s skin cells and Miss Zhu Wen’s fingerprints on them. They are very well-preserved thanks to the oil imrsion… Doctor Lu said he used so kind of sterene thingy to find the fingerprints…”
Mo Li sighed before she took over. “Doctor Lu used polystyrene to filter out the latent fingerprints. Because the evidence has been soaked in oil, normal trace analytic techniques like magnetic powder iodine wouldn’t be useful. We had to use Ninghaidlin and fluorescein, which then provided us with Zhu Wen and Qian Yao’s epithelial cells and fingerprints on the chain.”
Xiao Rui turned to Kang Zhi. “Nice job, now go and hit the shower. You sll like diesel and chicken blood…”
“Yes, sir!”
“Conspiration to murder and desecration of the bodies, Jiang Zhi, Zhu Wen, what do you have to say for yourselves?”
“…They deserve to die! If you didn’t warn him then, Chu Guang would have died too!” Zhu Wen raised her head, her eyes full of disdain.
“I can’t believe how heartless you can be. Step potential electrocution is very dangerous. There are so many people at the campsite, what if they were injured or hurt?”
“They are all birds of a feather. They all deserve to die. In fact, do you know where I got this second chain? It belonged to Jin Chuan’s younger brother, Jin Xuan. Jin Chuan is worried that the kid might embarrass him at work so he used the chain to lock him up! They all deserve to die!”
“We are only investigating this case, you can report what you saw to the judicial departnt, they will look further into it. Now tell us what happened and why did you kill these people?”
Jiang Zhi chuckled and she brought up an unexpected na, “You’ll have to ask Jin Xuan.”
Jin Xuan? Jin Chuan’s brother? What does he have to do with anything?
Xiao Rui had An Wan bring Jin Xuan over. “That day… I was playing hide and seek with Brother Chu Guang on the yacht. He would give candy if he couldn’t find … I was hiding when I heard Sister Zhi and Lin An. They were arguing and I was very afraid… I wanted to keep quiet but I accidentally knocked sothing over. Then I was found…” Jin Xuan shivered and couldn’t continue anymore.
It was Jiang Zhi who continued the story for him. “I didn’t know why the boy was hiding in my room but he was really at the wrong place at the wrong ti…”
