Chapter 208: Suspect Shocked!
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Chen Canjun was once again summoned to the police station, this time personally by Su Xuan. When he saw Su Xuan, Chen Canjun’s face turned pale, but he quickly composed himself and said calmly, “Officer Su, didn’t I already give a statement? Is there a need for another one? This matter should be over by now. Honestly, my sister-in-law is planning to cremate my brother and lay him to rest… It’s not good to leave it like this.”
Chen Canjun spoke while remaining seated, appearing quite composed. His wife, Chen Jiahui, on the other hand, was visibly nervous.
“Officer, you’re here to see us again. Has something happened to my elder brother?” she inquired anxiously. “Or have you found the murderer? Tell me, what happened to my elder brother? Is he really a victim of murder and not… not…”
She couldn’t bring herself to finish the sentence. Chen Canjun reached out and patted his wife’s shoulder. Both of them wore white belts, and their shoulders were draped with black cloth. As cousins, they were responsible for guarding Chen Jianguo’s body.
“Jiahui, you stayed up all night yesterday. Now, go get some rest,” Chen Canjun said to his wife. “Officer, having me here is enough. You should go rest for a while. We might need your assistance later.”
“But…” Chen Jiahui hesitated after hearing her husband’s words. She didn’t know why the police were visiting them today, but it couldn’t be for something good. How could she possibly go to sleep and leave her husband alone to deal with the police?
“Go, I’m tired. Don’t make me angry,” Chen Canjun urged with a hint of meaning. Despite his words, his tone remained gentle. “You’ve been up all night. I’m worried about you.”
Chen Jiahui originally wanted to say something more, but seeing her husband’s demeanor, she immediately decided to keep quiet. As she watched her husband leave, she couldn’t help but feel anxious about the police visit.
Su Xuan withdrew his gaze as he saw Chen Jiahui leave.
In Su Xuan’s eyes, Chen Canjun had already presented himself as a good man in front of them several times. If they didn’t have evidence to prove that he was a domestic abuser, they might never have imagined that the person before them now seemed so respectable, while secretly finding amusement in harming his wife.
But let’s not digress.
“Mr. Chen, I’ve come here this time to ask for your cooperation in giving another statement,” Su Xuan said with a serious expression. “The police suspect your involvement in an intentional murder case, and I kindly request your cooperation.”
Though he spoke in a polite tone, Chen Canjun knew he had no choice but to comply.
“Alright,” Chen Canjun agreed. “Since you put it that way, Officer, I’ll go with you. But I want to make it clear that I’m innocent of murder. Am I really the type of person who could do such a thing? Doesn’t your conscience ache when you accuse an honest person like me?”
Chen Canjun’s words reached Su Xuan’s ears, but they didn’t change his mind. He proceeded to take Chen Canjun to the interrogation room directly.
“Three days ago, when Chen Jianguo had a conflict with his wife Lan Xiaofen and left the house, where were you?” Su Xuan asked Chen Canjun, who sat before him.
Chen Canjun’s expression remained remarkably calm. “Officer, you’ve asked this question before,” he replied. “As I said, at that time, my wife and I were both at home.”
As he spoke, Chen Canjun’s expression revealed a hint of helplessness. He even shrugged his shoulders. “You know,” he continued, “my wife and my sister-in-law had an argument. I had to comfort them. If I had known what was going to happen, I would have gone to my brother’s place when I heard the commotion.”
This dialogue was something Su Xuan had seen before in Chen Canjun’s initial statement. At that time, his attention had been on Lan Xiaofen, and another colleague had taken Chen Canjun’s statement.
“You’re lying,” Su Xuan said with a cold tone when he saw Chen Canjun repeating the same story.
“Hmm?” Chen Canjun looked puzzled but met Su Xuan’s icy gaze. Seeing the suspect still unaware of his mistake, Su Xuan decided to offer a gentle reminder. “You should be aware that the police can investigate everything. Chen Canjun, your wife left your home around 9 PM three days ago. The probability is that you returned home around 11 PM. So, I’d like to ask, during these two hours, where were you?”
Su Xuan’s words left Chen Canjun’s face noticeably pale. He hadn’t anticipated his alibi being broken so quickly, nor did he expect the police to be this efficient. Despite his efforts to conceal his actions, they seemed to have caught on swiftly.
“This is indeed my fault,” Chen Canjun admitted. “I didn’t initially inform the police that my wife had gone out. After all, you know that I’m a mild-tempered person in public. I didn’t want anyone to know about the domestic violence issue, so I kept quiet. However, during those two hours, I didn’t go anywhere. I was at home the whole time. If you don’t believe me, you can check the surveillance footage. I didn’t appear in any of the recordings, right?”
Under Su Xuan’s gaze, Chen Canjun spoke confidently, as if he had nothing to hide. Su Xuan maintained a serious expression as he listened.
He was well aware of why Chen Canjun was speaking with such confidence. The surveillance cameras around Chen’s home that could have shown most of the locations had been malfunctioning for several months, not just recently. This discovery had only been made after the murder, when they attempted to retrieve surveillance footage. Chen Canjun was convinced that Su Xuan wouldn’t find any evidence, hence his self-assured demeanor.
However…
“So, according to what you’re saying, there was only you in your house at that time, correct?” Su Xuan asked calmly, not showing any frustration or anger.

This question left Chen Canjun puzzled, but he remembered that he had deliberately avoided the surveillance cameras that night. His confidence grew, and he nodded in agreement.
“Yes, after my wife left, I was really sad. I couldn’t control myself, even though I kept telling myself not to hurt her anymore. When my temper flared up, I couldn’t restrain it,” Chen Canjun confessed. “After she left, I deeply regretted staying at home for over two hours. I only took a shower and went to sleep when I saw her return. I spent those two hours tidying up at home.”
Upon hearing this, Su Xuan couldn’t help but smile. His smile puzzled Chen Canjun. He didn’t understand why the police officer was smiling, especially when there was no evidence or leads available.
“So, your point is that during those two hours, you have no alibi,” Su Xuan clarified. “No one can confirm that you were at home for the entire two hours, right?”
As Su Xuan finished speaking, Chen Canjun suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with astonishment. “Officer, what do you mean by that?” He was taken aback by the unexpected turn of events..
