The interrogation room of the Supervisory Department.
Cao Wenhao sat on a specially made stool, opposite him were Jiang Yueyang, Bai Ze and others.
Jiang Yueyang wanted to see the interrogation ability of King Yan and his men, so she and Bai Ze only listened here and did not participate in the interrogation.
"Let's get started."
As Jiang Yueyang's voice fell, the eager Yan Wang spoke first, "Cao Wenhao, how did you get the injury on your arm?"
Because they knew in advance that the deceased was fainting from blood, they examined Cao Wenhao's body when they brought him back.
This examination was suggested by Jiang Xun because he felt that the blood used to scare the victim unconscious was either prepared in advance by the murderer or made on the spot by the murderer.
There were no wounds on the deceased, so the blood could only be from the murderer.
Sure enough, there was a wound on Cao Wenhao's arm caused by a sharp weapon, and the wound was not shallow.
Cao Wenhao had already thought of an excuse, and he answered calmly, "I bought a dagger not long ago, and I accidentally scratched myself while playing with it."
"Why did you buy a dagger? When and where did you buy it from?" King Yan continued to ask.
"I bought it from Liu's blacksmith shop seven days ago. I bought it for self-defense."
Seeing that his answer was flawless, King Yan became a little anxious. "Since you bought a dagger for self-defense, you must have encountered danger. Tell me, what danger did you encounter?"
"Sir, do you have to be in danger before you buy a dagger for self-defense?" Cao Wenhao raised his lips slightly, "Can't I take precautions? Who knows when the danger will come?"
King Yan was choked and speechless for a moment, his face flushed, and he was about to speak again. Unexpectedly, Jiang Yueyang held down his arm.
She turned her head to look at her brother, "Deacon Jiang, it's your turn to ask."
Jiang Xun nodded, then picked up a few manuscripts and walked towards Cao Wenhao.
He showed the manuscripts to Cao Wenhao one by one, and the word "nian" was circled on each manuscript.
"What do you mean, sir?" Cao Wenhao didn't understand what he wanted to do.
Jiang Xun unfolded the deceased's suicide note and compared it with the manuscript. The word "念" (nian) on the suicide note was also circled.
Cao Wenhao immediately understood and his expression changed slightly.
"Do you think the word 'Nian' on the suicide note is exactly the same as the word 'Nian' you wrote?"
Cao Wenhao's face turned pale, and he pretended to be calm and argued: "What does this prove? People are similar, and the words are similar too!"
"Really?" Jiang Xun took out another manuscript, "Take another look at the word 'read' on this manuscript."
Cao Wenhao looked over and found that it was the handwriting of the deceased. The next second, his eyes widened in shock.
The circled word "念" above is different from the one on the suicide note!
As soon as Jiang Xun saw his expression, he knew that he had discovered something different, and chuckled, "Found it?"
Cao Wenhao looked away, "I don't understand what the adults are talking about."
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. I'll tell you!" Jiang Xun put the suicide note in his hand on the table. "You forged this suicide note, and you killed the deceased with your own hands!"
"I didn't, I didn't kill anyone!" Cao Wenhao's look suddenly became ferocious.
Jiang Xun ignored his roar and continued, "Let me analyze it. On the day the deceased was killed, you went to see the deceased and congratulated him on his upcoming marriage. During that time, you found an excuse to get Aunt Li away.
After Aunt Li left, you cut your arm with a dagger, causing the victim to faint at the sight of blood... and finally completed this murder in a closed room disguised as a suicide."
"This is just your reasoning! I didn't kill anyone!" Cao Wenhao still refused to admit it.
The system exclaimed: [Host, your brother is quite good at investigating cases and interrogating people! ]
[That's right!] Jiang Yueyang said proudly, [My brother has been excellent at everything he does since he was a child!]
[But...] She changed the subject, [What was Cao Wenhao's motive for murder?]
Hearing the voices coming one after another, Cao Wenhao was stunned at first, then looked at Jiang Yueyang in horror, unable to find his own voice for a while.
Jiang Xun was not bothered and continued, "Most murderers have a motive for murder. Let me guess your motive for murder. Do you think it's correct?"
He curled his lips and stared into Cao Wenhao's eyes, his voice with laughter made people shudder, "The Li family is poor, so you can't kill for money. In addition, the deceased's academic performance has always been inferior to yours, so it can't be because of vanity.
Then... the only motives are that the deceased did something to offend you or it was because of a woman."
System: [It’s a woman! Li Jinxian’s unmarried wife is from a wealthy family, and she’s also an only child.
Cao Wenhao didn't want to struggle, so he seduced the bride. After his efforts, the bride fell in love with him.
However, the bride did not dare to disobey her father. As long as Li Jinxian did not break off the engagement, the bride had to marry Li Jinxian.
Li Jinxian liked the bride and would never break off the engagement. So, in order to get the bride's property, Cao Wenhao decided to kill Li Jinxian and then find an opportunity to have sex with the bride.
Jiang Yueyang sneered twice, [A scholar who doesn't think about passing the imperial examinations, but only wants to live off others and make money. He has brought shame to scholars! ]
Jiang Xun also believed that Cao Wenhao killed people because of a woman, so he said: "I guess it was because of a woman, so this woman must be the deceased's wife. I wonder if she knows anything?"
[I know, she knows!] The system replied excitedly, [On the day the deceased was murdered, the bride secretly went to find Li Jinxian, hoping that he would cancel the engagement, but unexpectedly she saw Cao Wenhao killing someone with her own eyes!]
After hearing what the system said, everyone smiled at the same time. The case could be closed.
Jiang Xun looked at Cao Wenhao, who looked dead, and smiled. "Si Zheng, is it feasible to ask the deceased's unmarried bride to cooperate with our investigation?"
"OK!"
