Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1414 Hunting Crime + Fireworks 39

Du Cheng asked Ji Jun meaningfully, "Killing people, hiding bodies, and cleaning up the scene, you did all this by yourself, didn't anyone help you?"

The third place winner looked depressed and didn't seem to have any strength at all. Who would have believed that he had the ability to move an adult woman weighing about 50 kilograms from the second floor to the freezer in the basement and still have the energy to clean up the scene so carefully?

However, Ji Jun insisted that he did it all by himself. Du Cheng sighed, took Ji Jun with him, and asked Ji Jun to go to the scene to explain the whole process of his crime.

Du Cheng was also careful and took Ji Jun into Cao's house through the main gate. After Ji Jun walked two steps into the door, he reminded him hesitantly: "...When I came here, I went through the back door..."

OK, then everyone took the third place winner in through the back door, through the back garden, and when the third place winner entered the room, he obviously relaxed, but everyone couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.

Everything that Ji Jun recalled afterwards was full of loopholes in the eyes of the police, until Shen Yi simply exposed him, saying that he didn't even have the strength to go upstairs, let alone do so many things in just over two hours, and only left a complete and clear fingerprint. Ji Jun fainted in fear.

Back at the police station, Ji Jun's wife brought a bag of cash to hand over. In the conference room, facing Du Cheng and Xu Qin, Ji Jun's wife had apparently figured out what her husband had tried so hard to hide: "More than three months ago, he was diagnosed with cancer and quit his job. Later, the chemotherapy was very expensive, and we were worried about the treatment costs every day."

"He suddenly brought back this money these days, saying that he was doing a small favor for his previous employer. His employer remembered his previous kindness and felt sorry for him because of his illness, so he donated it to us..."

"But I really don't know why there is a big bag of expensive-looking jewelry and watches at home, but I think he must have done something he shouldn't have done..."

However, Xu Qin had fixed her eyes on the gold bracelet on the wrist of the third place winner's wife from the very beginning.

The design of this gold bracelet is youthful and lively, and its purity is also high. It is most suitable for young women to collect as an investment and for daily wear. An ordinary family like the third place winner is unlikely to consume it, not to mention that their family has recently encountered such a major crisis.

Just in case, Xu Qin still asked: "Is this bracelet on your hand bought for you by the third place winner?"

The wife of the third place winner followed Xu Qin's line of sight and looked down at her wrist. She took off the bracelet and trembled with excitement. She pushed it in front of Xu Qin and begged, "He brought this back a few months ago. He didn't say he bought it. I want it back. I don't want it. My husband..."

Ji Jun's wife couldn't hold back her anger any longer and started crying with her face covered. However, Ji Jun was still in the police station and couldn't go home. She was really worried about him and wanted to force herself to suppress her bad mood, but she failed after several attempts.

“He’s really nice!”

"I don't know why cancer came to him. Our child just started elementary school—"

"us--"

Du Cheng and Xu Qin were both silent, not knowing how to persuade the poor woman in front of them. But even if Ji Jun did not kill anyone, he had an improper transaction with the murderer and obstructed justice, so he must be punished. Even if the judge took into account the fact that he was undergoing chemotherapy for cancer, he would not be innocent.

Based on the time point provided by the third place winner’s wife, Li Han found a video of the third place winner riding an electric bike and almost knocking down a pregnant woman.

Based on Shen Yi's portrait, Li Han found Zhou Shanshan, the pregnant woman who was almost knocked down in the video. When everyone was about to continue to investigate Zhou Shanshan, Shen Yi said, "I have seen this pregnant woman at the Kailai Biological Research Institute. According to graduate student Professor Fang Kaiyi, this Zhou Shanshan has some relationship with Liu Yao's husband Cao Jian."

"The Cao family has a strong hereditary genetic defect, so Cao Jian often visits the Kailai Biological Research Institute. It seems that Cao Jian has taken many young girls there for genetic testing. I heard that Cao Jian wants to find a young girl with a matching gene to expand the Cao family."

Xu Qin couldn't help but sigh, "It sounds like this Kailai Biological Research Institute is becoming more and more worthy of investigation."

Du Cheng also felt overwhelmed, so he simply asked Shen Yi to go to the Kailai Biological Research Institute to investigate, and try to obtain a series of evidence related to Cao Jian and Zhou Shanshan. He and Jiang Feng would go to meet Cao Jian. As for Xu Qin and Li Han, the two of them would go to talk to Cao Xiaodong together.

The Cao family is in a mess. Even if Cao Xiaodong had not been marginalized and still had hope of inheriting the Cao and Liu families, Fu Wenying would not have brought Cao Xiaodong's photo to Xu Qin. It was because the Cao family was in too much of a mess.

On the way to Cao Xiaodong's club, Li Han couldn't help but joked: "The Cao family and the Liu family should be considered pretty good in your circle, right? Has your mother ever told you about Cao Xiaodong, a young talent who got into an Ivy League school on his own?"

Xu Qin rolled her eyes at Li Han in annoyance, "The situation of the Cao family and the Liu family is much more complicated. On the surface, it seems that Cao Jian, the Phoenix man, has become stubborn and wants to take advantage of his wife's family, but in fact, the old couple is taking advantage of each other."

"Liu Yao is the only daughter in her family, but her family has old-fashioned ideas. If Liu Yao wants to gain power over her cousins, she must not marry into a foreign family or marry someone else. So she chose to marry Cao Jian, a handsome man but a poor peasant for generations, just to make it easier for her to gain power in the future."

"How could she know? Her parents were able to survive, and Liu Yao herself was not capable enough. Cao Jian, the scheming Phoenix man, even stood up and wanted to resist. Liu Yao had not yet been able to take over the Liu family, so she could only give up for the time being and let Cao Jian come forward to gradually turn everything in the Liu family into the Cao family's property."

"Then she intends to win over their only descendant, Cao Xiaodong, so that she can ensure that everything from the Liu and Cao families will belong to her son Cao Xiaodong, and then be passed on to Cao Xiaodong's children in the future. In this way, it will be no different from if it is in her hands. Maybe Cao Xiaodong will even take the initiative to change his son's surname to Liu."

"There's no need to talk about Cao Jian. Although I don't know what he thought of Liu Yao at the beginning, when we were young, Cao Jian had women outside all the time. It can be seen that even if he had some real feelings for Liu Yao at the beginning of their relationship and marriage, he became arrogant after he had money."

"As for the fact that Cao Jian doesn't have an illegitimate child outside, I would rather believe that Liu Yao is strong-willed than believe that Cao Jian would put all the pressure on Cao Xiaodong."

"However, Cao Xiaodong had clearly completed his rotation in various key departments of the company, and there was no news of him causing any trouble, yet he was sent to the frontier the next day. This shows that something happened to Cao Xiaodong during those two years, causing him to have some fatal defect that made Cao Jian completely give up on his only son, Cao Xiaodong."
