Chapter 624: Chapter 347: This Case Was Never Simple from the Very Beginning!

After speaking, Li Jian immediately took swift and decisive action.

When the two arrived at the door of interrogation room number 7, Li Jian took a deep breath and pushed open the heavy iron door.

As the door opened, the glaring incandescent light from the interrogation room spilled out.

A man in his forties sat dejectedly in the interrogation chair, disheveled hair and bloodshot eyes.

Upon seeing the two police officers enter, his body noticeably stiffened, and his fingers unconsciously entwined.

Li Jian’s sharp gaze lingered on the man for a moment before he turned his head and said softly, ”It’s him.”

The two exchanged a knowing glance; years of partnership allowed them to understand each other’s thoughts without words.

Sitting down, Li Jian crossed his hands on the table, his voice deep and powerful, ”Do you know why we invited you here today?”

A trace of panic flashed across the man’s face, his Adam’s apple moved up and down, ”I’m sorry, I don’t know.”

”I’ve turned over a new leaf and haven’t done anything illegal.”

His voice grew smaller and smaller, eventually turning into a murmur.

”Just because you haven’t done anything now doesn’t make you a good person.”

Li Jian leaned forward slightly, exerting invisible pressure, ”I want to ask, where were you three years ago? What were you doing?”

”Three years ago?”

The man’s pupils suddenly contracted, sweat beaded on his forehead.

”Three years ago... I didn’t do anything, just unemployed at home and wandering around.”

His gaze was erratic, never daring to meet Li Jian’s eyes.

”Were you at home all the time?”

Li Jian pursued aggressively.

The man swallowed, ”However, I haven’t done anything illegal.”

”Then tell me, why did you end up inside later?”

Li Jian suddenly changed the topic, catching him off guard.

The man seemed to be stabbed in a sore spot, his body trembled violently, ”Later... it was because I was short on money during the New Year, so I thought of a way to get money.”

He constantly emphasized, ”But I’ve turned over a new leaf now.”

Li Jian let out a cold laugh, ”Today, I’m not here to ask about that.”

He turned to signal to the officer, who immediately understood.

He took out a photo from the folder and handed it over.

Li Jian pushed the photo in front of the man, ”Do you recognize this person?”

The man took the photo, glanced at it, and recoiled as if shocked by electricity.

”I know!”

”Didn’t he already die in the river?”

”Why show me a photo of a dead person? It’s unlucky.”

”Do you know him?”

Li Jian closely watched every subtle change in the man’s expression.

”Y-yes, I know him.”

The man stammered, ”The day before he died, we played cards together.”

”He suddenly won 20,000 yuan.”

Then, the man shook his head.

”At the time, I was quite envious, thinking he earned a lot, but didn’t expect he ended up dead.”

At this point, the man’s voice suddenly lowered, ”I think those 20,000 yuan aren’t worth living a peaceful life.”

Li Jian keenly captured this key information, instantly standing up from his chair.

He placed his hands on the table, ”20,000 yuan?”

”He won 20,000 yuan that night?”

His voice trembled slightly due to excitement.

The man was frightened by this sudden reaction, instinctively retreating.

”Yes! Exactly like that!”

”At that time, all of us playing cards together lost everything.”

His gaze suddenly turned gloomy, ”It was because of that incident that I committed robbery afterward...”

”If it wasn’t for that thing, I would be a good person too, how could I rob?”

The interrogation room was suddenly engulfed in a deathly silence.

Li Jian exchanged a glance with the other officer.

This key clue was like a flash of lightning, instantly illuminating the fog of the whole case.

Before this, they hadn’t grasped this information at all.

”Are you sure it’s 20,000 yuan?”

”For sure!”

The man licked his chapped lips, ”That night, he brought a few hundred yuan.”

”Originally thought he was a rookie, but unexpectedly he showed up with a heavenly hand, winning consecutively, eating up everyone.”

At this point, a hint of resentment involuntarily seeped into the man’s tone.

”We were all red-eyed at the time.”

”But later heard he died the next day, and felt relieved.”

Li Jian’s eyes narrowed slightly, his pupils contracting to pin-sized.

Years of experience immediately linked the death with those 20,000 yuan.

He slowly sat down, his voice becoming exceptionally calm, ”Do you think the death and the 20,000 yuan are related?”

”I don’t know about that!”

The man squirmed uneasily.

”I always feel that money is ill-gotten.”

Li Jian’s slender fingers tapped the table twice, producing a crisp sound, ”Did you know when he left at the time?”

”Yes.”

”At the time, we originally wanted to continue playing cards, but he said he had a dinner in the evening, so he left temporarily and promised to come back the next day.”

At this point, he suddenly shivered, ”But didn’t expect he died the next day.”

A flicker of excitement flashed in Li Jian’s eyes.

This unexpected clue was like a key, possibly unlocking the entire case.

He asked immediately, ”Were there others besides you playing cards at that time?”

”Yes, there were two others.”

The man answered without hesitation, ”They were Lin Kun and Gou Qiang.”

Li Jian immediately turned to signal the officer to note down these two names.

At this moment, Zhang Chao rushed back from outside.

The harvest from this investigation fell far short of expectations, causing him to furrow his brows.
