Chapter 376: Sudden Reward
"Tell us what you want, and we'll find a doctor for you."
"I said it, I said it all."
Zhong Jiacheng stuttered and admitted that he had hired someone to kill someone. As she expected, the person he hired was Lin Jie.
As for the specific details of the murder, he was not very clear.
Seeing that he really couldn't hold on any longer, Qi Lei had someone take him away. There was definitely no drugs, so he could only ask a doctor to come and help him.
"Su Xiaoxiao, when did you know that the murderer was Lin Jie? Why didn't you tell us in advance so that we could cooperate?" said a team member.
Su Xiaoxin said that she hadn't thought of it before the trial began.
She just felt from the beginning that Zhong Jiacheng had the greatest motive, but he had an alibi.
Later, they found Wu Cheng, Lin Jie, Zhong Wenbo, and Hu Buwei.
Although he also hired a killer to kill someone, Wu Cheng only asked Lin Jie to drug him and did not intend to kill anyone. Although Zhong Wenbo hired a killer to kill someone, the killer he hired, Hu Buwei, did not actually kill anyone. He just took the credit for the murder.
So, after going full circle, we are back to the starting point.
While she was interrogating, she was recalling every suspect in the case, and finally, she locked on Lin Jie.
Lin Jie admitted that he had made a small mistake, handed over his mobile phone, and provided a clue about a suspect. In this case, no one would suspect him anymore.
What's more, everything he said was true. It was true that Wu Cheng came to see him, the phone he handed over was real, the suspect he provided was real, and Captain Zhai also admitted that he did show up.
It is easy to verify if a person is telling complete lies, but it is difficult to verify if a person is telling the truth but just hiding some facts.
When the team members heard Su Xiaoxiao say that she didn't know who the murderer was, and that she was judging right and wrong based on Zhong Jiacheng's expression and adjusting the plan during the trial, their eyes widened.
"Senior Sister, there is one thing I don't understand. If Lin Jie is the murderer, then what is the murder weapon and how did he kill Zeng Ni?"
Lu Cheng hasn't figured it out yet. He can't keep up with Su Xiaoxiao's train of thought. How can she be sure that Lin Jie is the murderer?
Not to mention him, the other team members also couldn't figure it out. Although Zhong Jiacheng had confessed that he had indeed bribed Lin Jie, he didn't know the specific process of the crime.
Su Xiaoxiao smiled. It was only after she figured out what the murder weapon was that she determined that the murderer was Lin Jie.
"Come and see." Su Xiaoxiao pulled up the surveillance footage from that night. She pointed at the picture on it. At this moment, Lin Jie was walking to the kitchen door. He was holding a tray with half a leg of lamb on it. "This is the murder weapon."
"Is this lamb leg?" Lu Cheng asked uncertainly.
"That's right. A frozen lamb leg is no worse than a stick. He hit Zeng Ni on the head with the lamb leg and then threw her off the building."
"But when he showed up with the lamb leg, we had already checked the restaurant and questioned him. Wasn't the lamb leg shown up later?"
“Yes, we were already investigating when he showed up here with the lamb leg, and he killed people earlier than this.
The freezer was on the other side of the restaurant, and by this time he had already made the killing and put the lamb leg back in the freezer.
When we checked, a customer ordered a leg of lamb, and he went to get it out.”
"So, the murder weapon has been eaten by someone now?" Lu Cheng asked in a low voice.
"Yes, you could say he destroyed the murder weapon right in front of us."
Su Xiaoxiao sighed helplessly. It was impossible for them to get the murder weapon, but the murderer could not escape.
"I have one last question. How did Zhong Jiacheng find Lin Jie? I remember Wu Cheng said that Lin Jie didn't know Zhong Jiacheng."
"That's just Wu Cheng who doesn't know. The last time we went to see Lin Jie, didn't you think Lin Jie's condition was very similar to Zhong Jiacheng's current state?"
Lu Cheng thought back to the last time he saw Lin Jie, his face was pale and there were dark circles under his eyes.
"Isn't he taking drugs too?"
"I guess so."
At this moment, Su Xiaoxiao suddenly heard a system prompt sound in her ears.
[Meow, congratulations to the host for completing the mission. ]
[Meow, random rewards are dropping...]
What's going on? The system has changed, Su Xiaoxiao wondered.
This is a broken system. I've completed the task many days ago, but they still delay paying me.
Why are they giving out the reward today? It seems a bit impatient. They haven’t caught the murderer yet.
[Meow, congratulations to the host for obtaining a life-extending pill, which can save your life at a critical moment. ]
A red pill appeared in Su Xiaoxiao's hand. It was small, translucent, and looked cute.
Can this thing really prolong your life?
It looks like a jelly bean and smells sweet. If she wasn't in the office, she would want to lick it.
Qi Lei glanced at the time. It was already past eleven o'clock in the evening. He felt vaguely uneasy and had to arrest the criminal immediately to avoid any more trouble.
At this time, Lin Jie had already returned home from get off work. He lived in Building 10 of Fenglin Community.
Fenglin Community is located in a relatively remote area, a semi-new community just on the edge of the north city.
Lin Jie has his own car and drives himself to and from get off work every day.
The most annoying thing now is finding a parking space. Fortunately, his car is not big and it is not a famous brand, so he can just find an empty space and squeeze it in.
I went up to the fourth floor, entered the house, and turned on the light in the living room.
There was actually a person sitting on the sofa in the living room. He was so scared that his hands shook and the keys fell to the ground.
Qi Lei and his team members got into two cars and soon arrived at Fenglin Community.
In order not to disturb others or alert Lin Jie, they did not turn on the police lights and quietly arrived at Building 10.
Lin Jie's car is parked downstairs. Nowadays, almost every family has a car, and some families have several cars. Parking spaces are tight, so his car is parked next to the green belt.
They observed that the light was on in Lin Jie's room on the fourth floor, so he should be at home.
Qi Lei waved his hand, and the criminal investigation team members quietly went upstairs.
Lu Cheng pretended to be a property manager and knocked on the door, but no one answered. He leaned over the door and listened, but there was no movement inside.
Qi Lei motioned to Su Xiaoxiao to open the door.
Su Xiaoxiao stepped forward to open the door, and the team members rushed in directly.
But there was no one in the room, the lights in the living room were on, and Lin Jie's coat was thrown on the floor.
Su Xiaoxiao rushed into the bedroom and saw a person lying on the bed. It was Lin Jie.
She walked forward and put her hand under Lin Jie's nose. His eyes were wide open, blood was flowing from all seven orifices, his lips were black purple, and he was no longer breathing.
The window was open, and the white curtains were fluttering in the night due to the wind.
Su Xiaoxiao rushed to the window, looked down, and saw a black figure wearing a hat running forward.
"Stop!" Su Xiaoxiao shouted, but the figure did not slow down, but instead accelerated and ran wildly.
Su Xiaoxiao didn't care about anything else and jumped down from the windowsill. She stepped on the wall several times and reached the downstairs.
He used his Qing Kung Fu to chase after the black shadow.
The black shadow was not slow, but Su Xiaoxiao was even faster.
After chasing for two blocks and arriving at an alley, Su Xiaoxiao had already caught up with the black shadow.
"Stop, or I'll shoot if you run again." Su Xiaoxiao pulled out her pistol, just to scare him, she wouldn't shoot unless it was absolutely necessary.
The shadow raised his hands and slowly turned around, "You are really troublesome."
He pulled down the hat covering his head, and under the dim street light, Su Xiaoxiao could see his face clearly.
"why you?!"
