Chapter 388: Interrogation
“From the perspective of criminal psychology, not every crime has a premeditated motive. Although most motives are related to love, hate, and money, there are also crimes of passion.”
“So is this a crime of passion?”
“Not necessarily. We’ll see what the suspects say.” Mo Li glanced at Xiao Rui. “I suggest we try this…”
…
Back in the interrogation room, Kang Zhi dropped the dinner box before the suspects. “Go ahead and eat! After the autopsy is over, and there is no problem, you can go!”
The couple looked at each other and carefully reached for the dinner box.
“Say, you are not getting younger, haven’t you considered having a child? Who is going to look after you when you’re old?”
The husband’s hands paused. “Sir, what do you mean?”
“Officer, this is our family business and has nothing to do with you. Plus we will have a child in time.” The wife waved at her husband, to signal at him to be quiet.
“But it is hard to be an aging mother. It’ll be hard to get pregnant at your age and with your size!” Kang Zhi continued to ramble on, as if not hearing the woman’s warning.
“Officer, what do you mean? We can sue you for personal attack, can’t we?” Surprisingly enough, it was the husband who jumped up to defend his wife. His eyes were bloodshot, it didn’t look like there was anything wrong with his body at all.
“Please stop arguing. Officer, if there is nothing else, just let us go.” The fat wife pleaded with Kang Zhi. She looked like she was about to kneel.
However, Kang Zhi continued like he couldn’t sense the tension in the room. “Is there a problem with your wife’s body? Is she sterile, or are you sterile? You really need to go to the hospital for a check-up to be sure.” Once Kang Zhi said that the man flew at Kang Zhi and punched him in the face. “Who are you calling sterile? Who?!” The fists rained but it was not as painful as Kang Zhi anticipated. Xiao Rui walked in and kicked the man away. Then he turned to Si Lin. “Did you record the video?”
“Yes, captain! It has been recorded. The action sequence is similar to how the victim was killed.”
Xiao Rui turned to the wife. “Now what do you have to say for yourself?”
The wife turned to her husband and then at Xiao Rui. She burst into tears.
“You don’t seem like you can plan this on your own. Who ordered you to do this?”
The wife mumbled, “The person said we would never be caught… He even gave us a mahogany sword to place beside Yao Yao.”
“Why did you kill her?” Xiao Rui looked at the couple. The victim must have done something to anger this couple or else she would still be alive.
“When we just moved to the apartment, we realized Yao Yao was not that easy to get along with. We also found out she was a prostitute…” The wife clasped her hands and said softly, “My husband and I always wanted a child, but there is no result. I wanted to go to the hospital to check but my husband refused. He said it was my body that had the problem. So we paid Yao Yao for her service to have sex with my husband. If she got pregnant, we would take care of the child.
“My husband slept with her for months but there was nothing. One night, Yao Yao came back drunk and said it was because there was a problem with my husband.”
Xiao Rui read through the man’s physical report. The victim was right, the man had azoospermia.
“That was the first time I saw my husband get so angry. He grabbed Yao Yao by her head and hit her… Then…” The wife found it hard to speak. “My man pestered Yao Yao and told her that she would continue to sleep with him until they had a child. Yao Yao naturally wouldn’t sacrifice her livelihood for a poor couple like us. My husband demanded Yao Yao to give us our money back. Yao Yao pushed him back and mocked him for being useless in bed.
“Somehow that man found out about it. He persuaded us to kill Yao Yao but we didn’t dare to kill… Yesterday night, my husband was supposed to have sex with Yao Yao but…”
There was probably another argument. Liao Yao used the same words to mock the man but this time, the man murdered Liao Yao in his anger.
“What did the man who told you to kill Liao Yao look like?”
The wife stopped talking. Xiao Rui frowned.?Just what kind of charm has the culprit cast on these people? None is willing to tell us about the person behind them even if they are already in hot waters.
“Do you think he can protect you? Tell me what you know. What does that person look like and how did you get in touch with him?”
