Chapter 142 Genius

After Xu Qingqing said those words, the atmosphere in the interrogation room instantly went quiet.

"Is what you are doing appropriate?"

He stared intensely at Xu Qingqing, then at Chen Mo.

Endless rage surged in his heart.

Both Xu Qingqing and Chen Mo had anticipated this reaction from him.

Chen Mo looked curiously at Xu Qingqing beside him.

He could roughly understand why she had not let him say those words.

"It is better if I say things like this."

Xu Qingqing did not explain further.

But both of them knew it clearly.

"You should be aware of how big the Cui Shengli case is. Since you have confessed, this matter will definitely be made public after the case is closed."

"Even if we do not go tell your sister, do you think she will not find out?"

Xu Qingqing shrugged, looking as if to say, I am not threatening you, I am just stating facts.

"Of course, if you confess about Song Jia, we will do our best to keep this matter from reaching her ears."

"In her heart, you will still be that good brother."

After Xu Qingqing finished speaking, Li Jiahao lowered his head.

He seemed to be struggling with his inner self.

The fists he had placed on the table were also tightly clenched.

"I..."

He opened his mouth, looking at Chen Mo and Xu Qingqing.

But in the end, he was unwilling to say anything.

"I cannot say it, I cannot say it."

"If I say it, everything will be gone, everything will be gone."

He suddenly hugged his head tightly, continuously repeating this sentence in a low voice.

His appearance piqued Chen Mo's curiosity.

"Let's go out first."

Chen Mo signaled to Xu Qingqing to temporarily stop the interrogation.

Leaving the interrogation room, the two exchanged a look.

Both being experts in Reasoning, they immediately understood the meaning in each other's eyes.

"You go first."

Xu Qingqing gestured for Chen Mo to begin.

"It is very clear that the sister Li Jiahao recognized at the orphanage holds a high position in his heart."

"And having his sister find out that he is a murderer is something he cannot accept."

"Under these circumstances, he still refuses to point the finger at Song Jia, which means that once he speaks, something even more unacceptable to him will happen."

Chen Mo briefly analyzed Li Jiahao's state.

"Mm, I think so too."

"Li Jiahao has no parents, and the person he was closest to was Xu Wenguang."

"So after Xu Wenguang betrayed him, that 'thing he cannot accept' should have nothing to do with Xu Wenguang."

"I think it should have something to do with his sister."

Xu Qingqing followed Chen Mo's line of thought and began her own analysis and Reasoning.

For Li Jiahao, he is a man who is about to die.

Having killed so many people, no matter how great his grievances or helplessness, he will be sentenced to death.

So basically, there is nothing left in this world worth clinging to.

Combined with his reaction when his sister was mentioned earlier, it is very likely that the ultimate reason he will not point the finger at Song Jia is because of his sister.

"Your analysis makes sense."

Chen Mo nodded in agreement; the two had come to the same conclusion.

Immediately, he arranged for someone to investigate the sister Li Jiahao recognized at the orphanage.

...

Half an hour later, the results were out.

"The sister Li Jiahao recognized at the orphanage is named Li Xin, later renamed to Song Xin."

"She is 17 years old this year, and three years ago, when she was 14, she was adopted by Song Jia's parents."

"She is currently attending Xinghan No. 1 High School. Should we bring her in?" the local officer asked seriously.

The Cui Shengli case had been weighing on the minds of the Xinghan police almost every moment for the past few years.

Therefore, they were very respectful toward the two before them, as they had resolved their great trouble.

Naturally, they would cooperate however asked.

"There is no need to bring her in. Thank you for making the trip late at night."

Chen Mo took the file from him and looked at Xu Qingqing.

"Have you analyzed it?" he asked.

"Mm." Xu Qingqing nodded.

"If this Li Xin was adopted by Song Jia's parents, then Li Jiahao's refusal to say anything can be explained."

"From his perspective, being adopted by a wealthy family like Song Jia's is the best outcome for his sister Li Xin; at least she will have no worries about food or clothing for the rest of her life."

Admiration appeared in Chen Mo's eyes.

Working on a case with capable people is truly fast.

They had just received the personal information and immediately analyzed the answer.

"How do we break the deadlock?" Chen Mo looked thoughtful.

The current situation is that as long as Li Jiahao does not point the finger at Song Jia, Song Jia will not become a criminal for accessory to murder, and his sister can continue to live without worries about food or clothing.

Compared to this, letting his sister know that he is a murderer is indeed less important.

"Let me think." Xu Qingqing scratched her forehead as various methods flashed through her mind.

She immediately paced back and forth in the corridor; this was a subconscious habit of hers when thinking.

Meanwhile, the 'Clear Mind' in Chen Mo's mind also began to work at this time.

The two of them using their brains even a little meant the death of a large number of brain cells.

Long Hao and the others around them had no good solutions for the current situation.

Therefore, while the two were thinking, no one dared to speak loudly, fearing they would disturb them.

Time ticked by second by second, and a solution to break the deadlock had still not been thought of by the two.

Because this was a dead end!

"I have it." Chen Mo's tapping fingers suddenly stopped.

At the same time he spoke, Xu Qingqing's words followed immediately after.

"I also have an idea."

The surrounding crowd was stunned.

Good grief, when there was no solution, neither had one.

Once there was a solution, both had one.

"Let me go first." This time, Xu Qingqing did not let Chen Mo speak first.

Because she always felt that their lines of thought were the same.

If she spoke later, she was afraid someone might overthink it.

Seeing Chen Mo make a gesture for her to proceed, Xu Qingqing said: "I analyze that there must be a transaction between Li Jiahao and Song Jia; Song Jia wanted Cui Shengli to die, and Li Jiahao wanted the other party to adopt his sister."

"This should be the condition for both sides, and it is also the reason why Li Jiahao is unwilling to point the finger at Song Jia no matter what. Also, when he was in the interrogation room, he hugged his head and said one sentence."

"I cannot say it; if I say it, everything will be gone."

She imitated the context in which Li Jiahao said this sentence.

The emotion was like that of a gambler looking at the remaining small change in their pocket, telling themselves that if they gambled again, they would truly have nothing left.

"This 'everything will be gone' should correspond to the matter of Song Jia adopting his sister."

"If Song Jia goes to prison, his sister will most likely be kicked out."

For a moment, everyone present nodded in agreement.

It was indeed that kind of logic.

"So, since he refuses to point the finger at Song Jia because he wants his sister to live well."

"But what if his sister has not been living well all these years?"

A smile appeared on Xu Qingqing's face.

If he found out that his sister had not been living well in the Song family all these years, his protection of Song Jia would naturally turn into hatred.

He would definitely point the finger immediately!

"Genius!" Long Hao gave a thumbs up.

What a fitting case of 'the one who tied the bell must untie it'.

"But there is one problem, what if Li Xin has been taken good care of by Song Jia?" Sun Yi raised her hand to ask at this time.

But her question was not a problem at all.

Even in biological families, children will have small and large conflicts with their parents.

Let alone being adopted.

One only needs to bring out a few casual, daily conflicts.

Li Jiahao, who loves his sister deeply, will believe it immediately!
