Creating a Different World - Chapter 2590

[Chapter 2590 Clearing Suspicion]

“Knock, knock, knock!” Just as the sky was getting light, there was a hurried knock on the door outside. There were many footsteps, all wearing armor.

“Cohen, Cohen! Wake up!” Julian’s voice was a little panicked.

“Cohen Hand, I’m Zade, the captain of the Tongshan City Military Police. I need to ask you some questions! Are you home?”

Jia Zhengjin had expected this to happen. He was lying on the bed at the moment, looking very weak: “The door is not locked, please come in.”

“Excuse me!” The simple wooden door was pushed open, and Julian came in first, followed by a large group of armored guards entering the house, led by a young man with green hair.

“Ahem.” Jia Zhengjin sat up with difficulty and leaned against the edge of the bed. “Please, may I ask what can I do for you?”

After taking a casual look and seeing his appearance and injuries all over his body, the leader walked to the bed and said seriously: “I am Zade, the captain of the Tongshan City Gendarmerie. I am investigating a homicide case! Do you know Martin?”

“Ahem. Martin?” Jia Zhengjin shook his head. “Is he Julian’s classmate? I have seen him once or twice.”

“Cohen, Martin was killed!” Julian said in panic, “Do you know what happened?”

“Cohen Hand, Martin was assassinated in his home last night. The murderer placed poisonous spikes outside the door and lured the victim with stones to rush out of the house. As a result, he fell on the poisonous spikes and died.” Zade said seriously, “Because someone witnessed that you had a brief contact with Martin yesterday, and there were also witnesses who stated that Martin hid the danger notice without authorization and tricked you into entering Mount Kina, where you were almost killed by the Gis dog. Although we think it is unlikely, we still cannot rule out any possibility. You may be a suspect. Please accept our investigation honestly!”

“Ahem. So, it turned out that he hid the notice.” Jia Zhengjin said very weakly, “But it was not easy for me to go home yesterday, how could I go back to Tongshan City to kill people? Ahem”

“Yes! Cohen is so injured, he can’t do it at all, right?” Julian said immediately.

“The possibility is very small, but we don’t have more clues at the moment.” Zade said, “No matter how small the possibility is, we have to investigate it clearly. Cohen Hand, I want to ask you, where were you last night?”

“Last night. I went to bed at home very early last night.” Jia Zhengjin replied, “Where can I go in my situation?”

“Who can testify?”

“Julian, she came to see me yesterday!”

“Yes, Captain Zade!” Julian nodded immediately, “Cohen didn’t come to pick me up yesterday, so I came here to ask him. I found out that he was seriously injured and had to go home alone first.”

“What about late at night?”

“Captain Zade, do you think I look like someone who can go out?” Jia Zhengjin coughed a few times, “I slept at home all night.”

“Can I check your injuries?” Zade asked.

“Of course.” Jia Zhengjin looked at Julian, “But can you let Julian go first? Many of my injuries are indecent.”

“Is there nothing wrong with me?” Julian turned around quickly, “I need to prepare breakfast. After eating, I have to go to the college. I’ll go back first!”

After Julian left the room, Zhade opened the quilt: “Where are you injured? Let me see!”

“Okay.” Jia Zhengjin looked weak, and he struggled to open his clothes and untied the bandages to reveal the hideous wounds on his body. Zhade

frowned slightly when he saw these wounds. Judging from the marks, they really looked like scratches and teeth marks from a guise dog.

Reaching out and touching it lightly, Jia Zhengjin’s muscles immediately tensed up conditionedly, revealing an expression of severe pain.

One of the wounds even split open again, bleeding a lot.

“Captain, he has trouble walking in this condition.” The gendarme who saw this scene nearby whispered, “It is impossible for him to run such a long way to Tongshan City, kill Martin and come back silently without being discovered by our guards!”

“Yeah!” Zhade had the same idea when he saw these wounds. However, to be cautious, he still gave the order, “Search carefully to see if there is anything suspicious in the house.

The gendarmes looked around and thought, this is a bare house, what else is there to search? It’s obvious at a glance!

However, they still followed the order and searched the entire room carefully, and then returned to the captain: “Report, there is nothing suspicious!”

“Check the front yard and the area around the house carefully!”

“Yes! “

The military police dug deep inside and outside, but they didn’t find anything suspicious.

It seems that it was not him!

Zade got the report from his men and directly ruled out Cohen Hand’s suspicion. In his case, he had no conditions to commit the crime. But after this was ruled out, the whole case became a headless case, and we can only think of ways through those poisonous spikes to see if we can find out who used this kind of vicious hidden weapon.

“Cohen Hand, thank you very much for your cooperation!” Zade said to him, “You have cleared your suspicion, and Martin’s death has nothing to do with you! If you hear any news about Martin’s death in the future, please notify our military police as soon as possible. If you can help solve the case, you will be rewarded!”

“Thank you, Captain!” Jia Zhengjin coughed a few times, “He died like this. I wanted to find time to argue with him.”

“Forget it! Although he tricked you into going to Mount Kina and was almost killed by the Gis dog. But you got a blessing in disguise and still have a life.” Zade said, “He was killed by someone. The person is dead, and the grudge between you and Martin should be resolved! “

Yes, ahem, I know.” Jia Zhengjin nodded weakly, “Captain, do you know if there are any cheaper and more effective potions in the city, or priests who charge low fees? It was better yesterday, but the wound broke open again today. I only have more than five silver coins, take a look…”

“I can’t help you with this kind of thing!” Zhade frowned and said, “Isn’t Julian a student at the Magic Academy? She is more likely to be exposed to these things. And you are neighbors, so it would be more practical to ask her.”

“That’s right! Sorry, Captain.”

“Okay! Come on, bandage him up and don’t let the wound continue to bleed.” Zhade said, “Then go back to the city to report and look for other clues.”

“Yes!”

A military police came over, re-bandaged Jia Zhengjin, then followed Zhade out of the room and disappeared quickly.

After a while, Julian came back and said to Jia Zhengjin, “Cohen, the military police are gone! So it wasn’t you, right?”

“Ahem. What do you think?” Jia Zhengjin acted very weak.

“You look like this, of course it’s impossible!” Julian shook her head decisively, “Besides, you haven’t even killed a small animal, how dare you kill someone? Martin often duels with people in school, and he wins more than he loses!”

“Ahem. Julian, can you bring me some cheap and effective potions when you come back?” Jia Zhengjin took out five silver coins from the side, “Earned from the Giss Dog mission yesterday, or help me hire a priest who charges low fees.”

“Okay!” Julian nodded, “You look quite pitiful, I’ll help you!”

“Thank you!”
