Chapter 22: I'll strip you of your skin.
Just then, a police officer walked over with a statement in hand.
"Captain, take a look. These are the statements we took from those residents."
Chen Qingshan took it and started reading.
After reading it, he put it down, his expression very complicated.
Yes, the neighbors' statements were almost identical to what Old Mo said.
Based on the statement, Lao Mo was indeed a victim.
Moreover, even though there was a murderer this time, his sixth sense told him that this old man, Mo, definitely had a problem.
At that moment, the sound of weeping and wailing came from the Intermediate Court.
Soon, the group returned to the backyard.
That's right, it was the Liu family who returned.
In the arms of the second aunt, there was none other than Xiao Feng, who had already died.
They rushed to the hospital, and the doctor examined the person and told them very clearly that there was no point in trying to save them; the person was already gone.
So they returned carrying the body, eager to avenge Xiaofeng.
When Liu Haizhong saw Sha Zhu in handcuffs, he immediately flew into a rage.
"You bastard, you idiot Zhu, I'm going to kill you. You killed Xiaofeng, and I'll make you pay for Xiaofeng's life."
Sha Zhu immediately shouted.
"Second Uncle, it wasn't me, it was Lao Mo. Yes, he deliberately led me to Xiao Feng. If he hadn't led me there, how could I have accidentally chopped Xiao Feng?"
So, it was all his arrangement. Second Uncle, I had no reason to kill Xiaofeng, right?
Therefore, you need to deal with the real culprit; you can't let the real culprit get away with it!
Perhaps the threat of death brought out his potential. This time, Sha Zhu's words were surprisingly logical.
After hearing Sha Zhu's words, Chen Qingshan once again turned his gaze to Lao Mo's house.
At this moment, even Liu Haizhong fell silent. He also felt that what Sha Zhu said made sense; he had no motive to kill.
Liu Guangtian, however, refused to comply.
"You idiot Zhu, give me back my son!"
Liu Guangtian yelled and rushed forward, intending to kill Sha Zhu. However, he was stopped by the police and could only stand there in helpless rage.
At this moment, Aunt Erda, who was holding Xiaofeng's body, suddenly cried out.
"Yes, it was Lao Mo, it must have been him. Lao Liu, this afternoon, when that little bastard Lao Mo came back, he threatened me. He demanded that I tell him where his daughter was, or he would kill my grandson."
Chen Qingshan's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly asked, "Auntie, are you sure Old Mo said he was going to kill your grandson? Auntie, you can't just say things like that, or you'll be held legally responsible. So, think carefully before you speak."
Second Auntie couldn't possibly understand anything; he'd gone completely mad by now.
She shouted, "That's right, it's him! He said he would kill my grandson. So what Sha Zhu said was true, he did it on purpose. He deliberately lured Sha Zhu to me so that Sha Zhu would accidentally kill my grandson. It's him, he's a murderer."
Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly realized what was going on.
If what Sha Zhu said earlier wasn't convincing, then what Aunt Er is saying now is much more convincing.
After all, Old Mo had a motive to kill, and he had even threatened the other party beforehand.
Therefore, everyone has reason to believe that this matter is Lao Mogan's.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Chen Qingshan.
Chen Qingshan also felt that Lao Mo was doing it on purpose. But what was the use? Even if it was intentional, what could you do about it?
After all, it wasn't Old Mo who killed him.
In our country, having thoughts of murder is not illegal.
At this time, Lao Mo was already eating there, with fish and meat, and he was eating with great relish.
He used to think that when he looked at courtyard houses, those leaders always insisted on having certain chefs cook for them to eat, which was all nonsense.
In fact, in this day and age, as long as the ingredients are good, cooked properly, and seasoned, it's delicious.
At this moment, Chen Qingshan walked in.
"Oh, Captain Chen, I saw you were busy earlier and had finished cooking, so I didn't call you. Want some?"
Chen Qingshan closed the door, found a stool, sat down, and stared intently at Lao Mo.
"Old Mo, now it's just the two of us. Tell me honestly, did you do this on purpose, deliberately leading Sha Zhu to Xiao Feng?"
Old Mo was stunned and said, "Impossible, absolutely impossible. If I lure him in front of Xiao Feng, will Sha Zhu just drop everything and kill him?"
"I dodged so many of his knives; if I wanted to break free, he would have done so long ago. This doesn't make sense. Captain Chen, please don't wrong me. From beginning to end today, I've been the victim."
Chen Qingshan's heart skipped a beat.
Sure enough, this guy is very cunning.
At that moment, he couldn't help but recall something Old Mo had once told him.
Don't worry, you can't catch me. Thinking of this, Chen Qingshan felt his face burning.
Chen Qingshan gritted his teeth and said, "Now, all the evidence points to you. You threatened others first, and you did it on purpose. So today, you have to come with me."
Old Mo paused in his eating, looked at Chen Qingshan, and slowly said, "Captain Chen, are you trying to use that torture to extract a confession again?"
Three years ago, he was tortured into confessing by this guy, which is why he served three years in prison.
Therefore, at this moment, Lao Mo's gaze towards Chen Qingshan was very dangerous.
Old Mo knew that this was how cases were handled in this day and age; if they couldn't get information out of people, they would resort to other methods, which was quite normal.
However, this did not diminish Lao Mo's hatred for Chen Qingshan.
The two had already talked things out, and Lao Mo could let him off the hook for now. But if he came back, Lao Mo would not forgive him again.
Chen Qingshan remained silent, staring intently at Lao Mo, trying to discern something amiss from his expression.
In Lao Mo's view, this was tantamount to admitting guilt. In Chen Qingshan's view, if there was any evidence pointing to Lao Mo and Lao Mo remained defiant, he would certainly not rule out resorting to any means necessary.
"hehe……"
Old Mo chuckled and said, "Captain Chen, I, Old Mo, am not the same Old Mo I was three years ago. Three years ago you could frame me, but today you can't."
As Old Mo spoke, he moved closer and whispered, "If you dare touch me, I'll skin you alive and let you experience what it's like to be stuck in there. Heh..."
Chen Qingshan's gaze instantly turned dangerous.
"Old Mo, don't be so arrogant."
At this moment, Chen Qingshan's last bit of guilt towards Lao Mo disappeared.
"hehe……"
Old Mo sneered and said arrogantly, "I've always been this arrogant. Is arrogance illegal? Go ahead and mess with me, you idiot!"
Chen Qingshan clenched his fists and stood up.
"Xiao Chen, Xiao Zhang, come in, arrest them."
Police officers Xiao Chen and Xiao Zhang immediately pushed open the door and rushed in.
They restrained Lao Mo from both sides and, with a click, handcuffed him.
I want to eat? Not a chance.
Old Mo looked at Chen Qingshan with a strange smile on his face. Suddenly, he burst into laughter.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
"Fine, fine, Chen Qingshan, you've got guts. If I don't skin you alive this time and send you to jail, I'm not Chen."
