Detective: Open your eyes, I am handcuffed in the interrogation room.

Chapter 599 Motive
"I have been in the room the whole time!"

This made Peng Xiao doubt the police's investigation results.

Yes, Zhou Junjie always slept in the same bed with me at night, how could he sneak out and kill someone? Wasn't he afraid that I would wake up and find that he was not there?

Thinking of this, Peng Xiao looked at Chen Yi and said, "Police...Brother, Junjie was indeed with me last night. He should not have had time to leave the room and kill someone, right?"

Chen Yi: "Are you sure? Always with you?"

Peng Xiao: "I'm sure. Aren't we living in the same room?"

Chen Yi: "You can't leave a room midway? What kind of logic is this? Didn't you sleep?"

"This..." Peng Xiao frowned, and after thinking for a while, she decided to speak for her boyfriend. She didn't believe Zhou Junjie would kill anyone. "Even if I fell asleep, wouldn't he be afraid that I would suddenly wake up if he went out to kill someone? I don't think he's that stupid."

Chen Yi nodded: "I agree, he is indeed not that stupid.

But Peng Xiao, think carefully, did you fall asleep very quickly and sleep very deeply last night? "

Peng Xiao was stunned for a moment, then he told the truth after thinking for a moment: "I fell asleep very quickly and slept very deeply. What happened?"

Chen Yi: "Zhou Junjie put sleeping pills in the cup you drank water from. We have already detected it."

"What?!" Peng Xiao's face changed.

On the other side, Zhou Junjie was also shocked. Just by mentioning sleeping pills, cold sweat began to seep out of his forehead. This was caused by his inner panic.

Chen Yi moved his fingers, and Qin Fei picked up the cup on the table, indicating that the cup came from the bedside table in the room, and asked if it was what Peng Xiao drank.

"I drank it."

While confirming, Peng Xiao turned to look at Zhou Junjie, who was sitting there with his head slightly lowered, not looking at her.

In Peng Xiao's view, not denying it is tantamount to acquiescence.

There really were sleeping pills in the cup.

"Junjie, did you give me sleeping pills?" Peng Xiao asked coldly.

Zhou Junjie was silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "I'm worried that you can't sleep."

Peng Xiao was stunned: "What?"

What weird reason is this?
Zhou Junjie said: "There was a haunted incident in the early morning, and Yingjie was scared like that. I was worried that you would be affected as well, so I put sleeping pills in your cup so that you can have a good sleep."

Peng Xiao: “…”

The others also looked at him strangely, not because they believed what he said, but because they didn't expect this guy to make up such a ridiculous excuse.

Any normal person would not do such a thing, and the logic does not hold water.

Obviously a lie.

But as long as there is an explanation, no matter how illogical it is, it is better than admitting to murder.

Peng Xiao was already starting to feel confused, and she was increasingly convinced that what the police said was true.

Her boyfriend drugged her before going to bed, so that she could sleep until noon. She had no idea what happened during that time.

On the other side, Fan Wen sighed softly, and looked at Zhou Junjie with complexity and a hint of fear in her eyes.

The fear was because the other party dared to kill people, but the rest was hard to explain.

She seemed to know something and was surprised that Zhou Junjie killed people, but she was not surprised why Zhou Junjie killed people.

In order to save time, Chen Yi gave Qin Fei a look, and the latter stood up and walked to Zhou Junjie with the evidence bag.

"Zhou Junjie, this is the tape found in the backyard. It can be thrown from the window of Wang Yingjie's room to the location where it was found. After comparison, the tear marks are consistent with the tape on Wang Yingjie's face.

There were bite marks on the broken tape. The murderer tore the tape with his teeth and stuck it on Wang Yingjie's face one by one.

The saliva in the human mouth contains DNA. We only need to extract the DNA on the tape and compare it with your DNA to confirm your suspicion.

Now, you still say you didn’t kill anyone?”

Zhou Junjie's face turned pale, more cold sweat appeared on his forehead, and he subconsciously exerted force with his legs as if trying to stand up.

"If you dare to move, we will handcuff you according to the law." Qin Fei reminded calmly.

Seeing that the police were 100% sure that he was the murderer, Zhou Junjie was surrounded by a huge feeling of regret. The sudden feeling of dizziness made his vision a little blurred.

A few seconds later, Zhou Junjie realized the reality, lowered his head and said weakly: "I killed him."

“Zhou Junjie!” Peng Xiaoyou was frightened. He stood up from the stool and took several steps back. “You…you are crazy!! Yingjie and we have such a good relationship, why did you want to kill him!”

Zhou Junjie didn't say anything.

Fan Wen sat there without moving and began to doubt her life. A very good friend killed another friend. It was too unreal for this suspense drama plot to happen to her.

It feels like a dream.

The boss and his wife turned into spectators. If they had popcorn with them at this moment, it would be a perfect match.

"Zhou Junjie, is that yours?" Chen Yi did not continue the interrogation and instead brought up this matter.

Hearing this, Zhou Junjie looked up, as if he hadn't heard clearly: "Fei... Fei what?"

Chen Yi: "Phenergan, promethazine hydrochloride."

Zhou Junjie was puzzled: "What is it? I don't know."

He admitted to murder and the use of sleeping pills, so there is no reason why he wouldn't admit to using Phenergan.

Chen Yi's gaze turned to Peng Xiao, who was still questioning Zhou Junjie why he killed someone, and his emotions were becoming more and more agitated.

"Peng Xiao, take a break." Chen Yi said, "Since Zhou Junjie doesn't know what Fei Nagen is, then you can explain it to him."

Peng Xiao's body stiffened slightly, and then he said in surprise: "What is Feinagen? I don't know either."

Chen Yi had no choice but to pick up another evidence bag on the table: "You two are exactly the same in your stubbornness. Do you recognize this piece of paper?"

Peng Xiao took a look and said, "I don't know him."

Chen Yi: "Are you sure? This piece of paper was found in the trash can in your room. Phenergan was detected in it. Excessive intake of phenergan can cause confusion, and the effect is stronger when combined with coffee.

Wang Yingjie went crazy in the early morning because he took a mixture of phenergan and coffee.

Fingerprints can be preserved on paper because of the sweat and oil on the skin. Since you don't recognize them, let's compare them.

Han Jun."

Cheng Hanjun nodded, stood up and walked towards Peng Xiao, preparing to extract the fingerprints of Peng Xiao and Zhou Junjie.

"Wait a minute!" Peng Xiao raised his voice, and after a look of confusion, he admitted, "Yes... it's mine. This one is mine."

What the hell!

Fan Wen felt terrible. What was this couple up to? Were they friends? If she had known, she would not have come with them.

Zhou Junjie was also a little confused at this moment, and subconsciously asked: "Peng Xiao, why...why did you drug Yingjie?"

Peng Xiao was furious: "How dare you ask me! Why did you kill Yingjie?"

Everyone present felt sorry for Wang Yingjie for three minutes.

Zhou Junjie and Peng Xiao, who had no prior conspiracy, did bad things to Wang Yingjie one after another, first drugging him and then murdering him.

How did this offend me?
Is Wang Yingjie a very bad person?
The two did not quarrel because Zhou Junjie remained silent again.

"Peng Xiao, tell me your problem first." Chen Yi said.

Peng Xiao was straightforward and started to complain: "I don't mean anything else, I was just... joking, who asked him to say bad things about me behind my back?

Many people in school are saying that I chose to be with Zhou Junjie because of his money! They also said that I was pretending to be cute and innocent, am I sick?!

Tell me, is he sick?" Chen Yi put his arms on the table, palms crossed: "Is it because of money?"

Peng Xiao: “Of course not!”

Chen Yi looked at Fan Wen: "Classmate Fan Wen, what do you think?"

When asked this question out of the blue, Fan Wen looked up in surprise, not knowing how to answer.

Is it for money?

Are there still people who don’t feel anything about money these days?
Anyone who says money doesn't matter is definitely pretending.

Chen Yi didn't ask a second time.

Maybe Peng Xiao chose Zhou Junjie not just because of money. After all, Zhou Junjie himself is also very outstanding. He is handsome, has elegant conversation and good manners. Even if he has no money, many girls will like him.

Money is the icing on the cake.

It is possible that Wang Yingjie's words contained some fabricated rumors. He might not like Peng Xiao, or Zhou Junjie, or neither of them.

Since Zhou Junjie could kill someone, it was obvious that their relationship was not as good as it seemed on the surface.

No matter what, Peng Xiao's behavior is suspected of being a crime. As to whether Wang Yingjie was spreading rumors or stating facts, there is no way to find out.

The current focus is to find out why Zhou Junjie killed people.

"Zhou Junjie, since you have nothing to do anyway, why not talk about your motives? It will save you a lot of time when you enter the interrogation room." Chen Yi looked at Zhou Junjie.

Zhou Junjie still didn't answer.

Chen Yi roughly guessed the direction.

If Wang Yingjie did something bad to Zhou Junjie and the latter killed for revenge, then after confessing his guilt, Zhou Junjie should have continued to speak ill of Wang Yingjie like Peng Xiao, instead of remaining silent.

The reason for his silence is simple. He himself is also at fault, but he is unwilling to speak out and cause his image to collapse.

"What secret is there between you two that you don't want to tell?"

Chen Yi continued to speak.

Zhou Junjie continued to remain silent.

Chen Yi asked Peng Xiao: "Do you know?"

Peng Xiao shook his head: "I don't know."

Chen Yi asked Fan Wen again: "What about you? Do you know what's going on between them?"

Fan Wen opened her mouth and hesitated: "Maybe... I know a little."

"Ah?" Peng Xiao was very surprised. "You knew? I don't know how you knew."

Fan Wen smiled bitterly: "Wang Yingjie and I talked for a few minutes, but I didn't believe it. Now that I think about it... it should be true."

After saying that, she looked at Zhou Junjie with contempt in her eyes.

Zhou Junjie clenched his fists and tried to restrain himself, but he did not dare to stop Fan Wen from speaking in front of the police.

The boss and his wife could hardly hold back their excitement. They looked at Fan Wen expectantly and almost couldn't help reminding her to speak quickly. When watching something exciting, it is often the bystanders who have the most fun, even if it is a murder case.

Chen Yi: "Go ahead, we're listening."

Fan Wen said: "The four of us are classmates. Wang Yingjie and Zhou Junjie are both very outstanding and do well in study. In the freshman year, Wang Yingjie was always the first in the class and Zhou Junjie was the second. In the sophomore year, Zhou Junjie became the first in the class.

Since then, Wang Yingjie was nicknamed the eternal runner-up and never got first place in an exam again.

Zhou Junjie is indeed very outstanding. In his junior year, he published an academic paper in an authoritative magazine. His teacher praised him for his bright future and his classmates envied him for not only having a wealthy family but also being gifted with extraordinary talents.

Whenever we talked about the famous people in school, Zhou Junjie’s name would definitely be among them, and he would be the first person that came to mind.”

Hearing this, several people looked at the silent Zhou Junjie, quite surprised. They had not noticed it before.

He has a rich family and is an excellent student. Others cannot envy him enough.

What a pity, my life is ruined.

However, Chen Yi heard something wrong. Fan Wen mentioned that there must be a follow-up to this matter.

Sure enough, Fan Wen's next words brought about a reversal in Zhou Junjie's character: "But some time ago, Wang Yingjie told me that, uh... he gave up the first place to Zhou Junjie, and he also wrote that academic paper..."

Everyone was surprised.

let?
But Wang Yingjie always got second place in the exams.

If he really gave up the first place, then Wang Yingjie's level was much higher than Zhou Junjie. Not only could he give up the first place, but he could also ensure that his score was higher than the third place, so that he would not look too bad.

Control the points just right.

Anyone who can control the scores is definitely a genius level figure.

"Does he have any evidence?" Chen Yi asked.

Fan Wen nodded: "Yes, but I thought he was just talking nonsense because he wanted to pursue me, so I didn't read it."

Chen Yi: "What evidence?"

Fan Wen: “Transfer records.

The first place winner can get the highest scholarship. Wang Yingjie said that Zhou Junjie always gave him the scholarship and added an extra two thousand yuan.

Wang Yingjie's family is in financial difficulty, and two thousand yuan is already several months' living expenses."

Chen Yi glanced at He Shixin, who took out his computer and tried to unlock Wang Yingjie's phone.

Due to limited time, Wang Yingjie’s mobile phone has not been checked yet.

Just when He Xin made a move, Zhou Junjie, who had been silent the whole time, looked up and said, "Don't bother. She is telling the truth. I gave all my scholarships to Wang Yingjie, adding an extra 2,000 yuan each time in exchange for the first place result and all intellectual property rights."

When to pause and look away from the computer.

Seeing Zhou Junjie admit it, Peng Xiao was extremely surprised: "Junjie, why? What's the difference between first place and second place? Is it just for vanity?"

She couldn't understand Zhou Junjie's behavior.

Zhou Junjie smiled bitterly: "Of course it's not for vanity. Don't you know that I have a brother? He is much better than me. In a few years, he will take over the family company."

Peng Xiao seemed to understand: "You...you are trying to fight for your family's company."

Zhou Junjie sighed deeply: "I have something to tell you, that is my half brother, to put it bluntly, I am a wild child.

When I was in college, my dad promised me that if I could excel in school and achieve something in life, he would consider letting me take part in the family business.

On one hand, you can get a fixed amount of money and live a comfortable life. On the other hand, you can achieve your own value by climbing a high mountain and looking far into the distance. I chose the latter. I want to prove that I am no worse than anyone else. "

Peng Xiao was stunned.

From Zhou Junjie's tone, Chen Yi heard both indomitable spirit and inferiority.

"Born out of wedlock" is an ancient term that is still applicable today.

It's a very familiar plot, this is a war between the legitimate son and the illegitimate son, but unfortunately there is indeed a gap in talent. After experiencing the unwillingness of his freshman year, Zhou Junjie finally chose the shortcut of cheating.

If there was no Wang Yingjie in the class, Zhou Junjie would be the first.

Obviously, both of them are excellent, but Zhou Junjie has no great talent, while Wang Yingjie is a genius.

Now, Zhou Junjie’s elder brother doesn’t have to worry about threats from his younger brother, and he can inherit the family company smoothly.

It is also possible that the other party has never been worried from beginning to end, and has been ignoring his stupid younger brother from beginning to end. A confident person standing in a high position will not be afraid of the people who are eyeing him covetously behind him, and can destroy him with a snap of a finger.

The matter has been almost clarified. It should be that Wang Yingjie and Zhou Junjie had a falling out, and the latter chose to silence him, considering his reputation and family status more important than human life.
