This time, Chen Xinjiao, the fifth daughter of Mr. Chen, did not show up for dinner. Her husband Tang Hai said, "I finished work at about nine o'clock last night. I went back to the villa room and fell asleep. I never came out again. My
colleagues there can testify. When I returned to the villa, he heard laughter in the mahjong room but did not go in. He went back to the room alone. There are no witnesses."
Since Xu Yao said that everyone in the restaurant had explained their whereabouts on the night of the incident, the police officers he brought with him were no exception.
This time was a training mission, so the team members had very regular schedules. After the police officers finished their mission last night, they had dinner in the restaurant and then all returned to the small house next to the villa, except for Mo Xiaoqing and Li Tianfeng.
Everyone chatted in the living room until ten o'clock and went back to their rooms to sleep. No one came out later.
When it was Li Tianfeng's turn, he was about to speak, but Butler Zhang interrupted and said, "It's like this, I invited Professor Li to Mr. Chen's room last night.
In fact, Mr. Chen invited him to use his power for personal gain, because the chief mentioned to Mr. Chen that there was a very powerful psychologist in the criminal police team. Mr. Chen had insomnia for many years, so he asked him to treat his insomnia.
So during that period of time last night, I can prove that Professor Li was in Mr. Chen's room."
Then it was Mo Xiaoqing's turn.
In fact, Mo Xiaoqing was very scared in her heart, but she still said calmly,
"On the day of the incident, I went out at about six o'clock, because I had seen Chen Xinhua on the road next to the forest at 10 o'clock the day before in the morning. So I thought about going there again to see if there were any new clues.
Later, I found a piece of burgundy clothes in a bush, and then crawled into the wooden house in the restricted area next to it.
I followed the footprints and walked into a room. I saw a female ghost combing her hair in that room."
Mo Xiaoqing wanted to continue speaking, but was interrupted by Xu Yao.
"Mo Xiaoqing, don't say so much. To sum it up, not only did you not have any witnesses on the night of the crime, but you were also found in an empty space in Chen Xinhua's death room."
Xu Yao's words immediately caused an uproar. All of Chen's family members stared at Mo Xiaoqing.
Chen Xinyu's voice was frighteningly loud, "Captain Xu, what do you mean? As far as I know, Officer Mo should be your assistant, and I also heard that she is your girlfriend.
Why did she appear at the crime scene? Can you give me a reasonable explanation?
Did she kill my second brother?"
Xu Yao quickly replied, "Mr. Chen, don't get excited. Although Mo Xiaoqing has a close relationship with me, I will never show favoritism.
So far, I have not said that she is not a suspect, but just because my assistant happened to be at the scene when Chen Xinhua died, it means that she killed someone.
Obviously, there is insufficient evidence."
At this time, Chen Xingli could no longer sit still. She stood up and said directly:
"Officer Mo, I seem to have heard from the servants that my second brother seemed to have taken a fancy to Officer Mo and flirted with her.
Although my second brother looks lazy and likes beautiful women, he is not a bad person. He has friends all over the world, but he has few enemies.
If it was a revenge killing, Officer Mo is the most likely suspect. She must have been angry because my second brother flirted with her. When no one was around, she dragged my second brother to the wooden house in the restricted area and killed him.
You policemen, and you learned the art of grappling, She is a martial arts expert, so my second brother is no match for her."
After hearing this, Mo Xiaoqing was shocked and explained loudly, "What do you mean? You are suspecting that I killed Chen Xinhua, right? I did have a fight with Chen Xinhua, but I didn't kill him!"
Yu Manman also chimed in, "Did you get it wrong? Mo Xiaoqing can't be a suspect.
Didn't you hear it just now? Mo Xiaoqing also saw the female ghost, and I also saw that female ghost. Chen Xinhua was killed by the female ghost."
"Shut up! There are no ghosts in the world." Xu Yao suddenly shouted, "Do you remember what I said? When investigating a case, you cannot bring in your own personal prejudices, and everything must be based on evidence.
Since there is a lot of evidence pointing to Mo Xiaoqing, if you want to clear yourself of suspicion, please produce strong evidence. Please tell the truth when I interrogate you."
Mo Xiaoqing was helpless, "Captain Xu. I can't possibly kill Chen Xinhua."
Xu Yao was stern and selfless, "It's useless for you to tell me these unless you can produce evidence to prove it?
Mo Xiaoqing, shut up first, I'll handle it!"
Then, Xu Yao stood up, stood straight at the front of the dining table, and said word by word:
"Today, I asked all my police officers to tell their own stories about what they did at the time of the incident. I just want to say that I treat my colleagues equally.
Just now, everyone mentioned that my assistant is a suspect in this case. As her boss, I will never be partial.
But it would be too hasty to directly call her the murderer based on this little clue.
Because there are many people present who are also suspicious. There is no time for witnesses, and they are also suspects.
Therefore, I promised that I would give an explanation to the Chen family within three days.
Chen Xinyu, as the eldest son of the Chen family, please express your opinion. "
After Chen Xinyu was silent for a while, he said cheerfully, "Okay. Just based on the name of Xu Yao's ruthless detective, I will believe you once.
I hope you can give us a satisfactory answer and find the murderer as quickly as possible to comfort my second brother's soul in heaven.
Well, I believe everyone is hungry. Let's put this matter aside for now, and let's have dinner together in harmony and happiness."
The atmosphere of today's dinner was very depressing. No one laughed during the meal and finished it in silence.
Butler Zhang, who was serving attentively at the side, suddenly said, "I'm sorry, it's my fault for the Second Young Master. If I could send a few bodyguards to protect him, he wouldn't be targeted by criminals. I remember that the Second Young Master liked to let Elder Chen play music on the phonograph during dinner. Now... Hey!"
Tang Hai hurriedly said, "Elder Chen, don't blame yourself. This is not your fault. Everyone, don't be like this. The Second Young Master will not be happy to see us so decadent.
Butler Zhang, didn't you say that the Second Young Master likes to play the phonograph? Then you can play it."
