Captain Lu was aloof again today.

Chapter 118 Death is not a pity
Do unto others, do not impose on others.

Wanting innocent people to suffer because of one's own misfortune is a sign of a lack of empathy.

Besides, even if Ge Taining is unfortunate, at least he is still alive and well.

And what about Meng Yanan and Cheng Dafu?
A 16-year-old high school student with excellent grades and a bright future ahead of him, a kind and honest person with elderly parents and young children to support, was the backbone of his family.

Their innocent and wrongful deaths have plunged countless others into an abyss of misfortune.
Wei Qingsong's face was cold and indifferent, and at first glance, it did resemble Lu Jingming's usual expression.

"Losing your studies and your job is something you can learn from and strive to improve. If you are determined, you have many opportunities to change your fate. But instead, you chose to harm others and yourself, and then portrayed yourself as a victim. People like you deserve to die."

Wei Qingsong didn't want to stay here a moment longer. Continuing to talk to Ge Taining wouldn't change anything and would only cause her more trouble.

When his own interests are violated, Ge Taining chooses to harm others to vent his anger instead of trying to protect his interests. Such a person is cold-blooded and selfish to the core, and he will not listen to anything you say.

So why waste your breath?

He will pay the price for killing two innocent lives.

As Wei Qingsong left the interrogation room, Lu Jingming naturally followed without hesitation, gesturing to Xiao Song and Chen Jin outside the interrogation room: "The rest are yours to interrogate."

Chen Jin gave him a knowing look, and a mysterious smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

Wei Qingsong stood in the corridor, her hands clasped on the railing, gazing into the distance.

Hearing footsteps behind her, Wei Qingsong took a deep breath and looked at him apologetically: "I'm sorry, I couldn't control my emotions again. I was angry with Ge Taining..."

"It's okay, I understand." Before she could finish speaking, Lu Jingming said in a soft and gentle voice, "You never need to say sorry to me."

Wei Qingsong fiddled with his fingertips and sighed softly.

“The book says that most psychologists are sensitive, so they can find the unusual in the smallest things.” Lu Jingming came to her side, turned his back to her and leaned against the railing, looking at her sideways. “So you don’t need to worry, I completely understand you.”

Wei Qingsong also turned to the side, resting one hand on the railing, and looked at him with a half-smile: "When did you start studying psychology?"

“To be honest, I’m not really interested in those dry theories. But since you came back as a psychologist, I’ve tried to dabble in them.” He paused, a gentle smile playing on his lips. “I want to know everything about you.”

He wanted to know everything—the good, the bad, the missed opportunities, and the regrets.

Wei Qingsong's heart skipped a beat, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly. She looked at Lu Jingming earnestly for a long time before saying, "If one day you find that I am no longer myself, will you still accept me?"

Lu Jingming casually ruffled her hair: "What nonsense are you talking about? You are you, how could you become someone else?"

Wei Qingsong smiled casually, "That's hard to say. Haven't you read those cultivation novels? What if I get possessed?"

"Why are you still reading those novels? Don't tell me you're still thinking about traveling back to ancient times to become a princess? I have to remind you, you already have a family, so you should give up that idea as soon as possible."

Lu Jingming could tell that she was trying to ease the tension, so he joined in the joke.

"Understood, Captain Lu. I will follow your orders." Wei Qingsong's eyes gleamed slyly as he exchanged a smile with Lu Jingming.

Half an hour later, Chen Jin and Xiao Song also finished interrogating Ge Taining and came out of the interrogation room.

“Captain Lu, Sister Wei, that kid has confessed everything.” Chen Jin handed the transcript to Lu Jingming. “No wonder, we searched the entire electroplating plant in Tangzhou from top to bottom and couldn’t find any record of missing or privately sold cyanide. This kid actually hid cyanide before the electroplating plant went bankrupt back then.”

Wei Qingsong's gaze turned slightly cold, but he wasn't too surprised: "Hiding such a dangerous chemical shows that he is not a good person and harbors malicious intentions."

Even if an ordinary person had the opportunity to come into contact with such a highly toxic substance, they probably wouldn't have the guts to steal or hoard it.

Ge Taining probably had thoughts of taking revenge on society at the time, but he never put them into practice.

After being expelled, the demons within him were awakened.

People like Ge Taining only blame others for their misfortunes and never reflect on their own mistakes. Sooner or later, they will do things that harm society; it's just a matter of time.

Chen Jin exaggeratedly twisted his neck and stretched out a big yawn: "Luckily, we reacted quickly this time and caught the criminal as fast as possible. Otherwise, who knows how many innocent citizens would have been implicated. I think Director Wang should give us a break!"

Speak of the devil, and he appears; Director Wang's cheerful voice rang out from behind: "Are you all sunbathing here? I was wondering why there wasn't a soul in the office."

"You did a fantastic job this time! From filing the case to the arrest, the whole process was incredibly swift, preventing the situation from escalating further. The provincial department is very satisfied with the efficiency of our municipal bureau, and the public and media have also given it unanimous praise. Jingming, the TV station contacted me, wanting to invite you for an exclusive interview. What do you say?"

Lu Jingming frowned slightly, his voice hesitant: "Director Wang, you know I've never liked being ostentatious."

"Of course I know you, but the situation is different now. Think about it, what was the situation like in our city bureau in previous years? The public security was stable, the people were honest and simple, and there were no more than thirty major cases like this in a year."

"There are all sorts of conflicting opinions online right now, and people are very anxious. At this time, it is our municipal bureau that needs to step up and let the people feel our reliability."

Director Wang spoke with conviction and with sound reasoning.

Lu Jingming looked at him with a blank expression and said, "As the director of the Municipal Bureau, it seems more appropriate for you to handle this matter than for me."

Director Wang blushed and chuckled twice: "You really can't hide it from me. The first person the TV station contacted was indeed me."

"But after careful consideration, I still feel that your image can make the public feel more at ease and can also establish a good image for our municipal bureau. Let them see that not all of us criminal police officers are roughnecks like me, but there are also elegant gentlemen like you."

"Don't young people these days value 'appearance'? I think you're quite good-looking, and very suitable to be the spokesperson for the Municipal Bureau."

Director Wang's words were delivered with great passion and fervor.

Lu Jingming understood, raising an eyebrow: "In the end, don't you just want me to sell my body?"
