Chapter 26

There was silence inside and outside the interrogation room.

Everyone knows that he seduced those girls. But the evidence has been destroyed over time. At present, due to time constraints, they have not contacted those girls. Even if they were contacted, even if they were willing to testify that they had sexual relations, it would probably be useless.

Because Gao Jichang was so cunning, he would basically observe the girls for a year in their first year of high school, and then attack them in their second or third year. The four girls he knew about were all 16 or 17 years old when they had sex with him, so Gao Jichang did not have to bear legal responsibility.

Of course, after today, Gao Jichang will not only lose his job, but he will also be unable to work as a teacher. But compared to the evil he has done, what does this matter? The education system may even try to cover up this scandal, and his father-in-law may even make another move to transfer him to the countryside to continue teaching.

Li Qingyao noticed that Chen Pu looked calm, as if he had expected this situation.

She knew that the main event was the death of Liu Huaixin. Gao Jichang had both the motive and the time, and he had been to the crime scene and had found suspicious gloves at home. As long as the test results showed that there was Liu Huaixin's DNA or blood on it, he would be unable to defend himself.

Based on this charge, Gao Jichang could not escape.

Why did Chen Pu let the entire team spend so much effort to investigate those girls?
Li Qingyao already had the answer in his mind.

Because Chen Pu wanted to know the truth and seek justice for those girls. Even if so many girls were virgins, he could not convict this beast.

But Chen Pu wanted to bring the truth to the world. There is no impenetrable wall in this world. Even if the case will not be heard in public due to public pressure, those who should know the truth will naturally know it.

This is also the motivation for everyone in the second team to work hard and stay up late to investigate.

Chen Pu asked: "You said that Liu Huaixin gave you these photos and USB flash drive last week? Which day of the week? Where did he give it to you?"

Gao Jichang: "Last Friday, around 6pm, I met him on my way home from get off work and went to his house to get it."

"You are lying. I'll give you another chance to confess," said Chen Pu.

Gao Jichang looked extremely tired, but his eyes were bright, showing an unusual excitement. He was silent for a few seconds, then smiled and said, "Yes, it was last Friday. Police comrade, there is no surveillance in the corridor, and I can't prove my innocence. But you can't accuse me of Liu Huaixin's death because of a few photos. I have never broken the law."

"I gave you a chance." Chen Pu's eyes were as cold as frost. He put several photos taken from the surveillance in front of him. The person in the photos was Liu Huaixin, with a brown paper envelope under his arm. "We have verified that Liu Huaixin went to the printing shop late at night this Wednesday, the day before his death, to print photos. Where did you get it from last Friday! Let me tell you, Gao Jichang, this brown paper envelope appeared at the murder scene and was taken away by you. There are fingerprints of both of you on it. Guess whose blood we found on it? Do you think this is enough as key evidence to sue you for murder?"

This of course scared Gao Jichang. They didn't find any bloodstains at all, otherwise how could Chen Pu use two "guess" in a row to fuzzy the concept?
But Gao Jichang finally panicked and shouted, "I didn't! I didn't kill him! You're talking nonsense, you're wrongly accusing me! I get it, you can't catch the murderer, so you want to use me as the scapegoat!"

Chen Pu ignored his last desperate struggle and slapped the table with both hands. Gao Jichang trembled all over. Then he stood up and leaned forward. His sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes were full of sharp coldness. He asserted: "You went to his house on the day he died. He invited you personally."

Gao Jichang's lips trembled, and he didn't know what he was thinking about, and suddenly he couldn't speak.

The other detectives were startled - he did not deny having been at the scene!

Chen Pu: "Gao Jichang! It has come to this, and you still refuse to tell the truth! Do you think you can get away with it by claiming suicide? Tell me, how did you subdue Liu Huaixin, and what methods did you use?
Did he force him to cut his wrists with a knife, or did he hold his wrists and cut them?

I guess it's not just that. Why did he feel so guilty and insist on investigating Zhang Xiyu's case? What mistakes did he make in your affair with Zhang Xiyu? What evidence did you use to coerce him and make him look at death with indifference? "Everyone looked at Gao Jichang. This was also everyone's guess, and the biggest doubt at the murder scene - how did Gao Jichang do it? There was no sign of a struggle, and he was killed by four cuts on his wrists. Liu Huaixin also happily left a handwritten suicide note.

If there is another hidden story as Chen Pu speculated, then it makes sense.

Gao Jichang's eyes widened, his face was grim, and his emotions became extremely excited. He shouted, "No! You are wronging me! I went to his house that day, but when I arrived, Liu Huaixin was already dead! The door was open, and his blood had all been drained! What does it have to do with me! I took the manila envelope from the dining table and left! I didn't kill anyone! How could I kill someone!"

But all the detectives looked at him coldly. This man had been full of lies since the beginning of the interrogation, trying every possible way to make excuses. Who would believe him now?

Fang Kai said, "I think you're not going to give up until you get to the Yellow River. Let me put it this way, it doesn't matter whether you admit it now or not, because you personally admitted that you were at the murder scene, you have the motive, you have the time, and you have the key evidence, the manila envelope, and the motive for the murder is about those girls, how do you think the judge will sentence you? Leniency for those who confess and severity for those who resist, this is your last chance to fight for a commutation of your sentence."

Gao Jichang was stunned and finally realized that something was wrong. He had become the number one suspect in Liu Huaixin's death.

His cracked lips trembled as he smiled a smile uglier than crying: "So I didn't go to jail for those girls, but I have to bear the responsibility for Liu Huaixin's murder just because I was at the scene?"

Li Qingyao frowned.

Chen Pu also stared at Gao Jichang.

"I want to appeal! Appeal!" Gao Jichang wanted to stand up, but the handcuffs locked him in the chair with a loud clanging noise. His emotions finally collapsed, his eyes were red, and he struggled desperately.

Chen Pu and Fang Kai rushed over at the same time to hold him down, and Zhou Yangxin and another criminal policeman opened the door and rushed in to help.

Li Qingyao stood close to the glass, not missing any change in Gao Jichang's expression.

Gao Jichang struggled for a while, and then seemed to have lost all his strength. He slumped in the chair, muttering, "Ridiculous... Ridiculous... If I had known, I wouldn't have deleted the surveillance footage... If I had known, I wouldn't have deleted it... No, this must be a setup, someone set it up to frame me! Someone wants to harm me!"

Chen Pu straightened his hat brim and was about to sit down again when he turned his head and looked at him: "What did you say?"

at this time.

A young man from the physical evidence department trotted to the door of the interrogation room and shouted, "Captain Chen."

Chen Pu strode out and closed the door of the interrogation room. Li Qingyao, Zhou Yangxin and others also hurriedly followed him out.

The evidence officer took them to the desk with a serious look. On the desk was the pair of gloves found in Gao Jichang's home, with a test report underneath.

"The data on the surveillance memory card in Gao Jichang's home has been recovered. Several surveillance cameras have captured that he left home at 7:40 that evening and returned home at 7:50. He stayed at home at other times and did not go out. There is no sign of forgery in the surveillance. It is original. And this pair of gloves, no fingerprints, blood or DNA belonging to Liu Huaixin were found on it. This is just an ordinary pair of gloves. Gao Jichang did not have the time to commit the crime. He is not the murderer who killed Liu Huaixin."

Surprise, not unexpected?
