Chapter 364: You Are the Murderer

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.

He would see what tricks Mo Junyang could play.

Mo Junhao suddenly smiled at Shen Luo calmly and said impassively, “I have a clear conscience. Since you want to see it, just check.”

Nobody would think that he was the murderer after seeing that he showed such a clam attitude.

Shen Luo was stunned as he was fooled by Mo Junhao’s calmness. He turned to Mo Junyang in secret involuntarily, with doubt and worry shown on his face. “Mo Junhao looks unhurried. Did they make a mistake? Is the murderer somebody else?”

Mo Junhao paid attention to Shen Luo all the time and showed a complacent smile after seeing that.

He knew that Mo Junyang and the others were just swashbuckling.

“Doctor Shen, didn’t you say that you want to check my hand? I will show it to you, okay?” Mo Junhao asked intentionally.

Shen Luo really planned to trick Mo Junhao, but the prince’s attitude was beyond his expectation, so he was at a loss, while Mo Junyang didn’t say anything.

He had to bite the bullet and look at Mo Junhao again. “Your Highness, I am sorry to trouble you.”

Mo Junhao raised his right hand casually and reached it out, showing it before Shen Luo’s eyes while saying arrogantly, “As you wish.”

In the beginning, Shen Luo felt embarrassed because of the hand enlarging before his eyes. When he saw Mo Junhao’s right hand clearly, his expression changed suddenly, and he raised his head, staring at Mo Junhao.

Mo Junhao was scared by Shen Luo’s serious eyes and wanted to move backward again, but on second thought, he believed that Shen Luo must be deliberately mystifying, so he threw out his chest, snorting. “Have you seen it clearly? What else will you say?”

Shen Luo turned to Mo Junyang first, to see the latter nodding slightly, and then he gazed at Mo Junhao again.

Afterward, he stated, stressing each word, “You are the murderer.”

Mo Junhao was stunned and then shouted, appearing to be tough outwardly, even though he was timid inwardly, “What evidence do you have to make you talk nonsense? Don’t think that you can slander a prince recklessly as you work for His Excellency. Be careful. I can accuse you of slandering a royal family member and make you bear all the consequences.”

Even though he was sure that Mo Junyang and the others tried to bluff him, he couldn’t help feeling guilty, so he had to shout to cheer himself up.

However, Shen Luo fixed his eyes on Mo Junhao’s palm and grabbed his wrist before the latter tried to withdraw the hand, pointing out seriously, “Your Highness, don’t indulge in sophistry. The evidence you want is here.”

Seeing that Shen Luo’s eyes fell on his hand again, Mo Junhao thought that this doctor still bothered about the cadaveric ecchymoses, so he snorted. “What? Do you want to say that the size of my palm is similar to that of the bruise on Father’s neck so it can prove that I am the murderer?

“But the size of the bruise on a dead body will change. It just happens to be the same as my palm, and it can’t prove anything. If you go out to look for palms now, you can surely find some palms of the same size.

“Did all those people kill my father? Can you convince the public after mentioning such hasty evidence?”

While shouting, Mo Junhao got more emotional, and every word he said was reasonable. He didn’t give others a chance to refute him.

Shen Luo was not skilled in arguing. Although he had known the truth, when the other party was so aggressive, he was unable to confront him, so he had to turn to Mo Junyang for help.

“Boss, please cope with this man.”

Mo Junyang smiled faintly after noticing Shen Luo’s eyes asking for help.

Before Mo Junhao wanted to make another speech, Mo Junyang responded unhurriedly, “The evidence is not the handprint but something on your hand.”

“What?”

Mo Junhao looked confused and followed Mo Junyang’s eyes to look at his right hand. When his eyes fell on his right middle finger, the expression in them changed all of a sudden.

Mo Junyang smiled. “Now you must know what we are talking about, right, Your Highness?”

“No, no…” Mo Junhao was panicked and wanted to explain away.

Mo Junyang ignored Mo Junhao’s powerless words and pointed to his right hand, continuing, “Perhaps everybody’s right hand is almost the same, but not everybody wears a jade ring rewarded by His Majesty on his right middle finger. The grain on this jade ring is unique and happens to be the same as the mark on His Majesty’s neck.

“Your Highness, perhaps you can explain to us. Why is the mark of your jade ring on His Majesty’s neck?” Mo Junyang asked Mo Junhao in a gentle voice.

The truth was pointed out, and the evidence was solid, so Mo Junhao had no chance to refute.

Mo Junhao was like a deflated ball and fell on the floor in dejection. Without looking at Mo Junyang, he just murmured, “Why? Why? I have made a perfect plan. Why is there something wrong? No…”

“Gee!”

Shen Luo withdrew his hand and glanced at Mo Junhao in disgust, asking Mo Junyang, “Junyang, what should we do now?”

“He killed his father, the emperor, and committed a capital crime of rebellion. Lock him up in the Imperial Kinship Bureau first. We will make a final decision after the new emperor takes the throne.” Mo Junyang said something casually and convicted Mo Junhao.

“Yes!”

The guards from King Rui’s mansion accepted the order and wouldn’t scruple Mo Junhao’s identity. They walked forward and took him away rudely.
