The crackdown on organized crime began with the arrest of the mother-in-law.

Chapter 774 I killed someone, but I have someone behind me.

Li Haichuan's words left Chen Kai somewhat bewildered.

What does it mean that "you have supporters behind you"? Will you be sentenced to death? Does this mean that Li Haichuan and Li Hailong's killings were not simply murders?

Is there someone behind them?

what's the situation?

The police have already investigated the basic situation of the victim's family of four quite thoroughly.

The two elderly victims were not locals of Nanchuan City; they had come to stay with their son for a period of time. Comparatively speaking, they didn't have any particularly strong interpersonal relationships in Nanchuan City, and their relationships back home were also relatively simple. The two elderly people farmed in the countryside and had no major grudges or significant financial disputes.

Furthermore, the male homeowner's interpersonal relationships were relatively simple. Although the female victim, having worked at a business-run KTV, had more complex interpersonal relationships and seemingly had been someone's mistress, it's unlikely she would have offended anyone to the point of causing the massacre of her entire family.

In fact, the police had considered this aspect when investigating the female victim's interpersonal relationships. However, after Qin Chuan provided the identification and analysis report of the footprints at the crime scene, the police quickly identified Li Haichuan and Li Hailong as the two suspects.

Moreover, based on the interrogation and investigation last night, there is virtually no doubt that Li Haichuan is a criminal suspect.

However, after being arrested, Li Hailong did not provide any useful information and remained silent no matter what the police asked him. But this situation indirectly proved that Li Hailong was indeed one of the criminal suspects.

Otherwise, Li Hailong wouldn't have remained silent; instead, he would have tried his best to defend himself as not a criminal suspect. But the fact that the other party remained silent precisely indicates that something was amiss.

Chen Kai and his team didn't rest last night; they were constantly working on how to make a breakthrough with Li Haichuan, since Li Haichuan was at least willing to communicate with them compared to Li Hailong.

Although no breakthroughs were made in one night, and no key clues were obtained, this interrogation was imperative. They had to make a breakthrough before reporting to Qin Chuan, otherwise they would not be able to explain themselves to Chen Kai.

Unexpectedly, after they left Li Haichuan hanging for a whole night, his mentality underwent such a significant change. The next morning, during interrogation, he actually spoke up on his own initiative, but what he said shocked Chen Kai.

Although Chen Kai was somewhat surprised and didn't know why Li Haichuan said that, or whether there was someone else behind this family annihilation tragedy, Li Haichuan's question meant he was willing to tell him.

This was a major turning point in the case. Thinking of this, Chen Kai calmed himself down and tried to keep his tone normal.

"It depends on the specific case. However, generally speaking, if someone instigates or instigates a criminal case, then the person who instigated the crime will usually be sentenced more severely."

But that doesn't apply to your case. You and Li Hailong committed the crime together. Did Li Hailong instruct you? Let me tell you, Li Haichuan, don't try to frame Li Hailong. Last night he confessed everything he could. Tell us why you two killed someone, how you killed them, the whole process. Don't try to frame others. Even if you lied, we can find out!

Chen Kai deliberately identified Li Haichuan's intended mastermind as Li Hailong, essentially testing him. At the same time, he was also subtly suggesting to Li Haichuan that Chen Kai didn't believe there were any backers behind the case, implying that Li Hailong and Li Haichuan were criminal suspects and should ultimately bear legal responsibility for the crime.

"no no!"

Li Haichuan suddenly spoke up: "The person behind this is not Li Hailong. He has no idea what happened. This matter has nothing to do with him. The person I'm talking about is someone else!"

Is it someone else?

"Oh? Tell me, I want to hear exactly who this other person is!"

"If I tell... will I be sentenced to death?"

boom!

Chen Kai suddenly slammed his hand on the table, the loud noise startling Li Haichuan.

"Li Haichuan, what do you think this place is? Is this a vegetable market? You're trying to bargain with me?"

I'm telling you, we found your and Li Hailong's footprints in the bathroom at the crime scene. The identification results of these footprints now completely match your footprints. Furthermore, we also found the shoes you were wearing at the time of the incident in your residence.

Although you cleaned the crime scene very thoroughly after the murder, you two still need to explain yourself clearly. Even if you can't explain why your footprints were there, I could convict you. And now you're trying to bargain with me, saying someone else was behind it all?

"Let me tell you, your only way out now is to confess and seek leniency. Explain everything clearly, the entire story before and after the incident, every single detail, and try to get a lighter sentence. If, as you say, someone instructed you to commit the murder, then we will naturally arrest that person, and the court will decide the sentence."

"Do you understand?"

At this moment, Li Haichuan's forehead was already covered in sweat.

Chen Kai's sudden toughness made Li Haichuan uneasy. He wanted to let Chen Kai know that the final moment had arrived, and if he didn't speak up, then, as Li Haichuan had said, the death penalty would be inevitable.

Li Haichuan originally thought that what he had done was flawless, and that no one could find out what he and his brother had done. They had cleaned the crime scene thoroughly, leaving no fingerprints, and the entire room was spotless, so there was no way they could have left any footprints. He never expected that the police would find his footprints because he had been too careful and used cleaning agents.

At this point, when Li Haichuan was arrested yesterday, he already knew he couldn't escape. Only by revealing the person behind him could he mitigate his crime.

“Captain Chen, I admit I killed someone, but there was someone behind me who instructed me. They gave my brother and me 20 yuan to kill their entire family.”

The money is right here in my house. I cut a hole in the side of the mattress and put the money inside. You can definitely find it if you go and check. That money is the money I collected from this family of four to save their lives.
