Can We Say No to Divorce?-Chapter 790 - 541 Extra Close Heart (3)

Gan Zi did not let out a sigh of relief. He looked at them—all his comrades-in-arms, with whom he had fought together. He had no intention of hiding anything.

"I saw a pair of leather shoes at the village chief’s house. They were a new model by Red Dragonfly, brand new addition. Who would wear designer leather shoes in this small village? The village chief’s son has come back!" Gan Zi said with certainty, "Then, I saw an anonymous membership card for Red Dragonfly in Chen Hui’s purse... On the day Chen Hui died, Chen Lin was also in the village. He had the motive for murder, and the characteristics of a murderer—he’s a surgeon, understands human anatomy better than anyone else..."

Song Ziyu was engrossed, asking, "Teacher Gan, why did he hate Chen Hui so deeply? Why did he still want to marry her?"

Gan Zi seemed particularly grave: "That will be another story!"

Su Tianqing frowned: "It has something to do with the village girl!"

Qiao Xiaoyan shot him a glare: "Her name is Chen Little Sister, why do you keep calling her a village girl? Could it be..."

Qiao Xiaoyan’s brows tightly knitted: "Could it be that Chen Little Sister’s death... is related to Chen Hui or Chen Chen?"

Bai Ye then continued the topic: "It could be that Chen Chen accidentally killed Chen Little Sister back then, and then Chen Lin, to get revenge on the two siblings, murdered Chen Hui and framed Chen Chen for it. That way, he would kill two birds with one stone. It’s just a pity that Chen Chen has gone dumb, and now he can’t be asked anything."

Gan Zi looked at them: "Evidence doesn’t lie, it tells the truth."

Bai Ye nodded, "Chen Little Sister died ten years ago, and the killer has not been found. Chen Hui is dead, but Chen Lin still won’t admit it, Chen Chen has become foolish, now only one person is left, and all the key points lie with Chen Lin. But evidently, Chen Lin is a person with very strong psychological defenses, he won’t easily be broken."

At this time, Su Tianqing called out, "I’ve found it!"

Everyone looked over, Su Tianqing held up the account book in his hand, "Qiao Xiaoyan, come over, see if the murder weapon is this?"

Qiao Xiaoyan came over and carefully examined the toy drawing sketched by Yang Ji. It was a beautiful windmill, and the dent in the back of Chen Little Sister’s head was very similar to this.

"It looks very similar, send it to forensic examination!" Qiao Xiaoyan was also excited, "Professor Gan found the murderer of Chen Hui, and you found the weapon that killed Chen Little Sister, that’s great!"

Song Ziyu gave him a look: "The murder weapon’s been found, but what about the murderer?"

All of a sudden, Gan Zi stood up: "To the interrogation room!"

The interrogation room in the town was also just a temporary room.

Gan Zi looked at them: "I’ve found the breakthrough to crack Chen Lin, Bai Ye, immediately call someone to make a windmill toy, it has to be an exact replica."

Bai Ye went off to do so immediately.

When the village chief and his wife heard their son had returned, only to be arrested, they rushed over, and immediately started kowtowing to Gan Zi, "Professor Gan, my son couldn’t possibly be a murderer, please, you must clear his name..."

Faced with such a situation, Gan Zi suddenly felt a bit powerless. What is the truth? The truth is always a painful thing.

"Village chief, please get up!" said Gan Zi, "The case is still confidential at the moment, I can’t reveal too much."

Song Ziyu stepped forward to comfort the village chief and his wife. It must be understood, their daughter had already turned to bones, and now their son had committed a bloody crime. Such an event is very hard for any parent to bear.

...

Interrogation room.

Chen Lin still looked very calm, as if the matters around him had nothing to do with him.

When Gan Zi walked in, he handed him a cigarette.

Chen Lin’s fingers were fair and slender; although he was from a mountain village, his later working environment made his skin unusually white.

Chen Lin did not expect Gan Zi to give him a cigarette, but he just took it without smoking and placed it aside.

Gan Zi did not speak either. He sat opposite Chen Lin, exerting a strong presence that put an extraordinary pressure on Chen Lin.

Chen Lin spoke first: "I didn’t kill anyone!"

At this moment, Gan Zi took something out of his black handbag and placed it on the table. Then he watched as Chen Lin’s complexion instantly changed.

Only then did Gan Zi speak unhurriedly: "Today, we’re not discussing Chen Hui’s case! Let’s talk about your little sister’s case!"

Chen Lin immediately looked incredibly sorrowful: "Has the killer of my sister been found?"

"Chen Lin, at this point, do you think you can still hide anything? If you don’t confess, how can you live with yourself knowing your sister has lain in the Quarry for ten years?" Gan Zi immediately put psychological pressure on him today.

He handed the windmill toy in his hand to Chen Lin, "You would never have guessed that there was a line of words on this, right?"

Chen Lin took it and saw a line of words written by his sister: "To the dearest brother!"

Chen Lin instantly burst into tears, then bent over the table, crying like a helpless child!

Gan Zi watched Chen Lin intently, observing every subtle expression on his face.

He immediately continued in a stern voice: "Do you deserve your sister’s affection? She came to you at the age of sixteen, but what about you? You had just graduated from university, you were dejected, without a strong background, so you couldn’t possibly intern at the hospital you dreamed of, and you believed you shouldn’t have studied medicine. You went off to play games in arcades, and continued on a downward spiral."

"When your sister held onto you, not letting you go, she knew you loved windmills since you were a child, so she brought a windmill toy to give you. She was young, she didn’t understand life’s hardships, but she still had hope for a beautiful life." Gan Zi spoke vividly and harshly: "But you, without looking, struck her head with that windmill, and then you headed to the arcade... playing wildly, you played for a day and a night. When you returned home, your little sister was lying in a pool of blood, never to wake up..."

"You didn’t intend to kill her; it was an accidental mistake. But you, in your cowardice, were afraid to take responsibility for murder, so you chose to dispose of your sister’s body. You knew that if you dumped the body in the city, the police would quickly find out, and you would be exposed soon. So, you took your sister’s body back to the town and disposed of it at the Quarry."

"You thought it was a secret that would never be discovered, but you didn’t expect the Quarry to be in operation. You knew the secret wouldn’t stay hidden, and Chen Hui, who knew this secret, forced you into marriage and to treat her brother. So you made a ruthless choice – since your sister’s body would be unearthed anyway, might as well kill two birds with one stone, murder Chen Hui, and take a risky gamble."

At this point, Gan Zi looked very stern as everyone outside watched him. Even the usually gentle and refined him had become very severe.

It was rare to see him so stern and cold-hearted, but with such a dreadful case, it was hard for anyone to keep their composure!

So, even the most even-tempered people can be unsettled by drastic changes.

"Chen Lin, do you feel guilty about your scalpel?" Gan Zi slammed the table, "The scalpel is meant to save lives. The incident with your sister was an accident, but Chen Hui’s death could have been avoided. Why make the same mistake again?"

Chen Lin couldn’t control himself any longer. His sister’s death was an everlasting wound in his heart. If he could be indifferent about Chen Hui’s death, the coldness of his own sister in his arms was something else...

While sobbing painfully, Chen Lin said, "I didn’t mean to kill my sister. I was irritated and angry. My grades were the best at school, but without connections, I couldn’t get a job at a hospital. I could only intern at an obscure clinic. I had grand ambitions, I wanted to make something of myself..."

"I didn’t mean to hurt her at that time. She wouldn’t let me go to the arcade, so I hit her once with the toy, then I left without looking back. When I returned after playing for a day and a night, I pushed open the door, and saw a pool of blood on the ground, leading from the living room to the doorway, the stench of blood filled the house, and I can never forget it..."
