Chapter 363 - You Are the Murderer (1/2)

Mo Junhao’s aggressive question didn’t make Mo Junyang show anger or other negative emotions.

Mo Junyang just stood there quietly. After Mo Junhao lost temper, he stated unhurriedly “The Empress Dowager told me to investigate the case, and I am checking the doubtful points of this case. I just deal with the matter on its merits. Why are you so anxious, Your Highness?”

“I am not!” Mo Junhao retorted shrilly.

He soon realized that he overreacted, so he quickly calmed down. “I just think that you are stalling for time. We have captured the prime suspect on the spot. You don’t interrogate the suspect first but waste time here. So people will doubt your intention inevitably.”

After saying that, Mo Junhao smiled at Mo Junyang complacently.

“Huh, don’t think that only you know how to shift the blame onto others. I can find fault with you,” he thought.

Mo Junyang looked peaceful. “Your Highness, what are you talking about? Can’t the experiment prove the possibility that somebody might have summoned the crown prince in the name of His Majesty?”

“Huh? Even if it is possible, so what?”

Mo Junhao snorted. “I have asked. Why did the murderer do that?”

“Perhaps…”

Mo Junyang paused for a moment intentionally and looked Mo Junhao up and down, saying meaningfully, “Perhaps because if he didn’t do that, he would be accused of murdering His Majesty. After all, if the servants find that His Majesty saw him before dying, he could hardly escape from being suspected, just like the crown prince.”

Mo Junhao finally could confirm that Mo Junyang had found his plot and might even have guessed how he committed the crime.

He got panicked again, but under the situation, no matter how nervous he was, he had to restrain himself. “Your Excellency, what you said is just a possibility and conjecture. Then it is possible that His Majesty ordered Quan to summon the crown prince and that he was killed by Junyu, right?”

Both of them could have happened, and Mo Junyu had been caught in the bedroom, so the second was more likely to happen anyway.

Mo Junyang thought so and nodded. “Your Highness, it’s like what you said, so I told Shen Luo to check His Majesty’s body and find the vital evidence that the murderer missed.”

“What?” Mo Junhao couldn’t control himself, so he roared again.

Till Mo Junyang turned to him with doubtful eyes, Mo Junhao finally adjusted his rapid heartbeat.

Mo Junhao tried to look peaceful yet confused, asking, “Your Excellency, what is the evidence you mentioned?”

Mo Junyang looked out of the door, and Shen Luo walked in immediately, saying, “Your Excellency, I have carefully checked His Majesty’s body and found that he was strangled to death as somebody squeezed his throat. There is a circle of dark squeezing mark left on his neck.”

Mo Junhao’s heart beat so fast that it almost jumped to his throat.

Why did he forget that once somebody was strangled to death, perhaps nothing wrong could be found in the beginning, but after some time, the cadaveric ecchymoses would show?

All the marks would be revealed.

While speaking, Shen Luo turned to Mo Junhao and seemed to look at his hands.

Mo Junhao subconsciously hid his hands behind his back and justified himself emotionally. “All people’s handprints are almost the same, and even if they are drawn in the paper, you may not be able to find the difference. Moreover, they are just cadaveric ecchymoses and can’t prove who the murderer is.

“Even if we have to identify a murderer, it must be Junyu’s handprint.”

However, Shen Luo expressed, “Your Highness, you are wrong. The marks on His Majesty’s neck have told us who the murderer is.”

“Who?”

Shen Luo walked two steps toward Mo Junhao and asked respectfully, “Your Highness, can you reach out your right hand and let me see it?”

Mo Junhao was certainly unwilling to. He looked angry and cursed, “Who the hell are you? Do you qualify to suspect me? Go away.”

“Your Highness, why are you so emotional? Haven’t I said that anybody who came to the bedroom last night is a suspect? We just want to purge you of suspicion. Please cooperate with us, Your Highness,” Mo Junyang looked indifferent and stated.

Shen Luo moved closer to Mo Junhao, which scared the prince to move a few steps backward in succession subconsciously.

Mo Junhao had a guilty conscience. How would he dare to show his hand to Shen Luo?

However, under the watchful eyes of all people, if he dodged, wouldn’t it show that he was guilty?

He was in a dilemma. Suddenly he thought that it was just a handprint. Even if it was the same, could it prove that he was the murderer?

Everybody had a palm with five fingers which were almost the same as others’, and the cadaveric ecchymoses on the dead body must have spread after a few hours, so it couldn’t be the same as his palm.

As Mo Junyang mentioned the evidence, he must be deliberately mystifying and swashbuckling just to bait him.

If Mo Junhao kept refusing, he would be trapped by Mo Junyang.

Mo Junhao figured out Mo Junyang’s intention gradually and then couldn’t help but show a big smile.

Huh, Mo Junyang thought that he was smart and wanted Mo Junhao to give himself away as he was in panic, yet Mo Junhao would meet trick with trick.
