Death sentence turned into acquittal? Who told him to be a detective!

Chapter 9 Three Reactions!

Based on the current situation, it seems that Chen Jian's parents have some knowledge of the details of the case!

Directly arresting them is not a safe approach; it could easily alert them, and if the other party really has a problem, they will definitely hide.

If we don't arrest them, we can't interrogate them. So, is there any other way to get information out of them?
Have!
"The police can't ask directly, but..."

Xu Liang narrowed his eyes, leaned closer to the two of them, and whispered.

"But that doesn't mean we can't let the other person say it voluntarily!"

Active/Proactive?

Voluntarily confessing to a crime!?
In an instant, a look of astonishment appeared on Chen Changchun's face.

Do as I say.

June 3rd.

Six o'clock in the morning.

In Hanhai City, the sky was overcast, and small groups of people stood on the road. The chilly air made them huddle together, silent and not exchanging a word. Only the steam rising from the breakfast stalls on the side of the road brought them a little warmth.

Inside the Criminal Investigation Division, a piercing telephone ringtone sounded.

"dududu~"

"Yes, yes, that's right. The two of you need to get to the police station as soon as possible to cooperate. If all goes well, the police might be able to find evidence."

"Ten minutes?"

"Alright, we'll wait for you two in the lobby."

"dududu~"

Liu Jin, who arrived at work early, hung up the phone to notify the deceased's family.

He took a deep breath, walked quickly to the lobby on the first floor and paced back and forth until he came to Chen Changchun's side.

"Boss, are you sure this method won't have any unexpected problems?"

Liu Jin rubbed his hands to ward off the chill, looked outside, and muttered a question.

He was summoned by Chen Changchun early in the morning, thinking that there had been a new breakthrough in the case.

岂料
The other party actually pulled him along and carried out the interrogation of Chen Jian that they had directly denied yesterday!
What's the difference between this and stirring up trouble?!

"Do you have a better way?"

Chen Changchun glanced at him.

Upon hearing this, Liu Jin was completely speechless.

"Give it a try. No matter how bad things get, you're just going to stay in the same place."

Chen Changchun began to speak, but then his words abruptly stopped.

A car drove in through the main entrance of the police station and slowly stopped in the parking lot. Two middle-aged men got out of the car and hurried towards the office building.

"coming!"

The two exchanged a glance and immediately put aside their thoughts to meet him.

These two people are Chen Wei's parents, Chen Jian and Zhu Hong!
Chen Jian is 1.7 meters tall, with a bloated figure, a beer belly, his shirt is pushed up by his stomach, his cheeks are fat, and his facial features are squeezed together.

Zhu Hong had thin cheeks and a slender figure. Her triangular eyes, which should have been fierce, now appeared pale and weak.

"Officer! Officer, how is my child?!"

Zhu Hong was pale and weak, and looked at Chen Changchun with a sorrowful expression.

"Have they found the killer?!"

"Where is the murderer? I need to see him! I need to see him!"

His tone was filled with intense hatred, and his thin, bony fingers gripped Chen Changchun tightly. If it weren't for the clothes separating them, his nails would have dug into his flesh.

When Zhu Hong saw Chen Wei's body yesterday, she fainted immediately, and after waking up, she seemed to be ill.

After just one day apart, a large number of white hairs have sprouted on the top of my head.

Chen Jian remained silent.

But judging from his eyes and clenched fists, he wasn't much better off than Zhu Hong.

Chen Changchun took these things in, and a thought struck him. He reassured him:
"Stay calm and trust the police's capabilities."

"Let's go into the office and talk."

After saying that, he stepped aside and went into the office on the first floor.

Zhu Hong followed behind her, and suddenly burst into tears again.

Chen Jian's face was ashen as he walked silently.

"Squeak~"

After entering the office, Chen Changchun closed the door.

He then turned to look at the two of them, recalling Xu Liang's words from the previous night, and said softly:
"Police now suspect this case was a revenge killing."

"So, the reason I've summoned you two here is to find out who the deceased had a grudge against during his lifetime?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Changchun stared intently at the two of them.

Police usually avoid using the word "deceased" in front of family members to avoid upsetting them, but today is different.

His goal was to provoke the other party!

As expected, upon hearing the word "deceased," Zhu Hong and Chen Jian became even more agitated.

"My child is so honest, how could he possibly have made enemies with others!?"

Zhu Hong broke down emotionally, covering her face with her hands as she spoke, tears streaming through her fingers. Her muttering could still be heard in my ears.

"He's only 23 years old, just turned 18, still just a kid. Who could he possibly offend? How could he possibly offend anyone?!"

"It must be that executioner. He's not human, how could Xiaowei have run into him?"

Chen Jian took a deep breath, his obese body trembling, and said:

"Officer, are you sure you haven't made a mistake? Xiao Wei..."

Chen Changchun interrupted him, his face full of seriousness.

"It can't be wrong!"

"It was a vendetta, and not just any ordinary grudge!"

"Based on the police's current speculation, the murderer likely had a deep-seated grudge against the deceased, Chen Wei, that spanned a considerable period of time!"

"Considering that you two only moved to the city center seven years ago, do you think it's possible that it was seven years ago?"

As he spoke, Chen Changchun narrowed his eyes, his tone guiding.

Did Chen Wei offend someone seven years ago?

Seven years ago?
Chen Jian paused for a moment, then fell into a brief thought, and said again:

Seven years ago, Xiaowei was only 16 years old.

Chen Changchun interrupted him.

"The younger you are, the more impulsive you become. You two should think carefully about whether Chen Wei offended anyone seven years ago?"

All of a sudden.

Countless images flashed through Chen Jian's mind. He paused, his heart tightening.

Just about to speak.

Chen Changchun suddenly added:
"Think about whether there are any classmates who are difficult to get along with?"

Chen Jian's expression became even more hesitant.

Upon seeing this, Chen Changchun pressed for details.

"Think carefully, did any conflicts occur during that period?"

"The fact that the murderer hated Chen Wei so much that he killed him must not be a simple conflict. Mr. Chen, do you have any people in mind who are most likely to be suspected?"

After saying this, Chen Changchun stopped asking questions.

He stared intently at Chen Jian, without even blinking.

When faced with questions from the police regarding a list of suspects, most people will react in one of two ways.

First, they were extremely aggressive, immediately providing the suspect's name!

Second, they are completely unaware, looking bewildered, yet eager to cooperate, or providing the list information after thinking about it!

Xu Liang, however, believed that if the other party truly had a problem.
It doesn't fall into either of the above two categories!

As for Chen Jian
He remained silent for a long time before suddenly speaking.

No, I can't think of that.

Chen Changchun frowned, his heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously said:

"Really do not have?"

"Mr. Chen, why don't you keep thinking about it? Perhaps you can come up with something."

Chen Jian said, "It's been too long, I really can't believe it."

"Let me think about it some more?" Chen Changchun's face showed reluctance.

"The police are almost certain that Chen Wei's cause of death occurred seven years ago. If they can recall it, they can definitely catch him!"

Chen Jian unconsciously clenched his fists, a bitter smile appearing on his face.

"I really don't remember."

Upon hearing this, the room fell silent.

a long time.

Chen Changchun took a puff of his cigarette.

"Thank you both. If you remember any further information, please inform the police immediately."

"must."

After Chen Jian said those words, he seemed to have aged several years, while Zhu Hong was still sobbing.

Liu Jin stood up and led the two men outside.

Soon after, the car parked in the yard drove away.

Through the window, Chen Changchun silently watched the two figures disappear into the distance.

In a daze, a man in a suit stood in front of him.

"When asked by the police that they have found information, most people respond in one of two ways."

"But there is a third type that belongs to a small minority!"

Xu Liang walked in from next door and stood beside Chen Changchun, slowly saying:
That is it.

"Their emotions weren't aggressive; on the contrary, they were withdrawn!"
