Chapter 67 Stubborn
After saying that, Qian Hao looked at the two of them with an innocent expression.
But no matter how you look at those seemingly innocent eyes, you can see an inexplicable provocation.
"Officers, please make sure to write all of this down in your statement this time. These are things that can prove my innocence. Don't do what happened last time, where you didn't record what I said and forced me to give a statement based on what you said."
I can understand you guys. You have to solve murder cases, and you're under a lot of pressure.
But I don't understand, it's only the first day, why are you so eager to put the blame on me?
Is it to show how fast you solve cases?
"Ha, if every case involved getting the complainant to plead guilty, that would be pretty quick!"
"Qian Hao, stop spouting nonsense!" Cao Dahua slammed his hand on the table and said coldly, "Don't think we don't know you're involved in your wife's murder. We'll dig out your crimes sooner or later."
"Look at you, you're still as irritable as you were the other day. If you have evidence, then show it. If you don't, then stop getting angry here. What good is it except to prove that you have a bad temper? You should use this time to solve the case and catch the real culprit who killed my wife as soon as possible, avenge my wife, and clear my name."
Tears welled up in Qian Hao's eyes.
His face was also filled with grief.
But that sorrowful expression and those tears looked more like crocodile tears.
"Alright, let's put aside your alibi for now. I'll ask you a few questions, and you'll have to answer truthfully." Wu Song was too lazy to watch this guy's pretentious act anymore; getting him to admit it was impossible. He might as well ask other questions. "There are no signs of forced entry or lock picking on your door. How do you think the murderer got in?"
"They might have made a copy of my house key, who knows? And officer, there's something I need to tell you. I lost my key at school about six months ago, but I don't think anyone who found it could find my house, so I didn't change the lock."
"Now tell me your alibi," Wu Song asked while taking notes. "Who were you with on the 19th?"
"I played cards with those three friends from the legal profession all day, from eight in the morning until eleven at night. I only left the game when I told them I was taking the train back to Gotham."
"Did you win or lose?" Gao Dahua raised an eyebrow and asked.
"We lost."
"How much did you lose?"
"It'll cost around four or five hundred yuan, and we didn't play that big."
"Oh? You're really good at cards! Is it because you always lose at cards that you bought your wife an accidental death insurance policy, then killed her and got the money?"
"Officer, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want." Qian Hao's face darkened as he said, "I don't earn a fixed salary. I work as a consultant for some people, giving them advice and such, and I can earn money that way. So, what you might think is four or five hundred yuan a month's salary, is really nothing to me."
Besides, I didn't just buy her accident insurance. You all know that I also bought one, and she is the beneficiary.
We were just trying to secure our own future, but we never expected her to leave us first. Sigh…
"So, you say you didn't do it for money, then why did you kill your wife?" Wu Song asked the question that had been on his mind, and then stared into Qian Hao's eyes, trying to see if he could see something in them.
pity.
I can't see anything.
Qian Hao's eyes and expression were no different from before. "Look, officer, you're talking nonsense again. You're presuming guilt. I told you, I didn't kill him."
"Do you think we can't find the killer?" Cao Dahua narrowed his eyes.
"If we find the killer, that would be wonderful! My wife can finally rest in peace."
……
The interrogation did not last long before it ended.
Upon leaving the detention center, the master and apprentice simultaneously popped a cigarette into their mouths.
Even Cao Dahua turned the cigarette upside down, lit the filter, and took a deep drag.
"Cough cough cough! That's really powerful!"
After coughing twice, Cao Dahua frowned and took another breath, saying, "Even if Qian Hao didn't do it himself, he's someone who knows about it, and he's probably the mastermind."
This guy deliberately lied before, probably to take the opportunity to report us for torture and forced confessions. Then he produced a sufficiently strong alibi, portraying himself as a victim in one fell swoop.
Just think about it, even an associate professor who teaches criminal law has become a victim. You can imagine how lawyers and law professors and associate professors in various schools would feel sympathetic and make the whole country know about this.
Damn it, thank goodness we didn't lay a hand on each other, or we'd all be in deep trouble.
Cao Dahua touched the back of his neck with lingering fear. "Disciple, if Qian Hao really doesn't lack money as he says, then what is his purpose in killing his wife?"
Why kill your wife when she's so beautiful and has such a good personality?
Could it be that this guy cheated on his wife? His wife wouldn't agree to a divorce, so he killed her? Or maybe his wife cheated on him?
However, neither his father-in-law, mother-in-law, nor his parents had ever heard of any relationship problems between the two.
"Forget it, let's check the money first." Cao Dahua shook his head. "That kid talks a lot of nonsense. He didn't tell us a single truth last time. He might be lying to us again this time. He might even be in debt."
"How about we go to his mother-in-law's house again?" Wu Song suggested. "His bankbooks are kept at his mother-in-law's house. The old couple should know a lot about his financial situation."
"Walk!"
……
Upon arriving at the elderly couple's home and seeing Wu Song and Cao Dahua, before the two officers could even produce their identification, the deceased Li Hao's mother stepped aside at the doorway. "Officers, please come in quickly. Let me get you some water. By the way, how's the investigation into my daughter's case going? I heard you all suspect that my son-in-law killed her? You must be mistaken, right? My son-in-law doesn't seem like that kind of person!"
"We're still investigating." The two men sat down on the sofa. "It's like this, we'd like to ask you about something else. We heard Qian Hao likes to play cards?"
"Oh, right, my daughter also likes to play mahjong," said Li's mother. "But they're both quite sober-minded. They only gamble for small amounts. A little gambling is harmless fun. I've never heard my daughter say they're short of money. They save at least 10,000 yuan every year without fail."
"I heard their passbooks are with you?"
"Yes! I'll show you." Li's mother returned to the bedroom and took out a bankbook after a while.
Taking a glance at it, Cao Dahua blurted out, "The name is Qian Hao?"
"What else could they do? Put it in our name? They're just too lazy to manage the money, so they put it with me. The money is still theirs. We only have one daughter; why would we be greedy for our son-in-law's money?"
