Chapter 400: Choice Conflict
Chapter 400: Choice Conflict
Everyone gathered together again for one final discussion.
Detective Zhang once again reviewed everyone's timeline, motives, and original plans.
"I have narrowed down the suspects to the three men present. Su Tang and Han Xin do not have any fighting skills, so they can be ruled out as suspects for now. Now, please tell us your opinions and the reasons why it is not you."
Mr. Sa, who was closest to Detective Zhang, spoke first. "Like the detective, I have ruled out the suspicions of Su Tang and Han Xin. At present, I suspect Staff Officer Ma. Does he have the strength to fight Zhen? The original plan was not that detailed and had too many loopholes.
As for why it wasn't me, first of all, I'm already so old, even if I want to deal with Zhen, I won't take a direct approach, I will definitely do it in a roundabout way.
He is a young and strong man, and I am an old man who is almost at the end of my life. It would be disadvantageous for me to fight him head-on."
Everyone nodded after hearing this. What Sa Ye said made some sense. His original plan was to use the drugs first and try to avoid a direct confrontation with Zhen. In everyone's mind, Sa Ye's suspicion was reduced a lot.
Sitting next to Mr. Sa was the equally suspicious Staff Officer Ma. "First of all, let me explain why it wasn't me. I'm Zhen's staff officer. I know him too well. I know exactly where he is and when.
I wanted to do it to him, there was too much time and too many plans.
I can choose a safer time to do it, rather than in a crowded place like this.
My plan is to let Zhen be my scapegoat, but I can't do it without any preparation. It's useless to just attack him. I have to find a way to make everyone suspect that he is a spy."
Detective Zhang nodded. It was indeed true. Chief of Staff Ma's motive was to make Zhen his scapegoat and make everyone think that something had happened to the spy. However, no clues were found at the scene that Zhen was a spy.
From this point of view, the suspicion of Staff Officer Ma has been reduced.
Detective Zhang's eyes fell on He Yao, his expression somewhat solemn.
Staff Officer Ma continued to speak, "Since it's not me, I can only lock the suspects between He Yao and Sa Ye. Comparing the two, I think He Yao is much more likely.
Just like what Mr. Sa said, he is old and not as agile as before. If he faces the enemy head-on, he will probably end up in trouble.
He Yao is also young and strong, and his previous strength was definitely higher than Zhen's. Although he is injured now and cannot exert his strength, there is always a chance of something happening. "
Staff Officer Ma's gaze also turned to He Yao, and everyone's eyes fell on He Yao like a searchlight.
He Yao was not in a hurry. It was just his turn. "Then let me first tell you why it's not me. There is no evidence that my body has recovered.
I have to take medicine every day to maintain my body's functions. Now I am powerless and have no way to use my internal strength to fight against Zhen.
And I am the court doctor. If I want to attack him, there are too many feasible options. After knowing that I can't use force against him, I will definitely not choose to confront him head-on.
After all, I was a soldier before, so I know some tactics. I also have my own plan and the medicine is ready."
Everyone was in a cloud of doubts. What He Yao said made sense, and they also found the medicine bottle in He's room.
But the key point now is that everyone has already identified the suspects as three men. However, as they explain one by one, it is not their fault, and everyone’s minds are in a mess again. So who is the murderer?
After saying that it was not his fault, He Yao analyzed the situation at the scene and said, "The person I suspect is Staff Officer Ma. Just like what Lord Sa said, Staff Officer Ma has enough fighting power to fight Zhen.
Judging from the situation at the scene, the murderer must have fought with Major General Zhen, otherwise the scene would not be so chaotic.
Currently, the only ones who can fight against Zhen are Mr. Sa and Staff Officer Ma.
I am more inclined to agree with Chief of Staff Ma. The possibility of him having the motivation and the ability to take action is too high. "
Han Xin looked at Mr. Sa for a while, then moved his gaze to Chief of Staff Ma, and glanced at He Yao, struggling with a choice.
“In fact, I am more inclined to Staff Officer Ma. Staff Officer Ma is Zhen’s deputy. At present, it seems that he is the only one who knows the time when Zhen will appear in the study.
As for whether to release those forged letters, it doesn't really matter. As long as Zhen is dead, isn't it up to Staff Officer Ma to make up the story?"
