Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 190: Rich women share the same ideas
Liu Zhengyang was murdered a year ago, and his housekeeper suddenly ran away a year later.

The scheme set up by the murderer spanned more than two years.

Moreover, when Yu Dazhang heard about this case in his previous life, he didn’t know what the murderer’s final purpose was.

It goes without saying that the murderer in the previous life succeeded.

A thought suddenly flashed through Yu Dazhang's mind.

If the butler is not the murderer, then he is just a pawn.

Two years after Liu Zhengyang's death, the murderer used this chess piece.

Then comes the problem.

What is the purpose of using this chess piece?
Excluding the possibility of taking the blame, the greatest value of this chess piece is...

Harm!

Judging from the other party's layout capabilities, this possibility is the most likely.

Just like before a show starts, there is usually an announcement.

The main purpose of the announcer is to guide the audience so that they have a preliminary understanding and expectations of the program.

That’s right, it’s guidance.

This is the ultimate purpose of the murderer using the butler as a chess piece.

Next, look at the housekeeper's operation, which has a different meaning.

He fled abroad, and this time Liu Siyuan was the one who reported the case.

Afterwards, the housekeeper sent a video to Liu Siyuan, in which he admitted to killing Liu Zhengyang.

This was the end of his announcement work.

Then it was time for the performance, and the performer was...

Liu Siyuan!

First, Liu Zhengyang was killed, and then two years were spent preparing for this final performance.

What a good plan... Yu Dazhang stared blankly at the table, his eyes losing focus, with only one sentence in his mind:

Are you a performer or a planner?
Or, both.
No, I can't be the only one here wondering... Yu Dazhang immediately looked at Ma Jian:

"Your next mission is to investigate Liu Siyuan. This time you must keep an eye on his movements, including that woman named Zeng Lisi."

Since there is a problem with Liu Siyuan's line, let's continue to dig deeper.

Yu Dazhang has narrowed down his target to three people: Liu Qi, Liu Siyuan, and the housekeeper.

Only the three of them had the chance to switch the medicine.

In other words, the murderer is among the three of them.

And Liu Siyuan is the biggest beneficiary of this incident.

"I agree to continue investigating Liu Siyuan, but..."

Ma Jian paused, then said hesitantly:

"I don't think it's necessary to investigate the woman named Zeng Lisi any further."

"She returned to China after Liu Zhengyang's death, so she is definitely not the murderer."

"Even if she had ulterior motives in contacting Liu Siyuan, it was for the Liu family's property and had nothing to do with this case."

"We have no obligation to help the Liu family protect their property."

"And even if she ends up cheating Liu Siyuan out of all his assets, that's still the work of anti-fraud and economic investigation."

What he said was reasonable and anyone would think so.

The backlog case team investigates backlog cases, and the content of the investigation should be related to the case itself.

Zeng Lisi showed up after the case happened, so it was too late for her to get involved even if she wanted to.

No matter what purpose he had in contacting Liu Siyuan, it had no direct connection with this case.

Ma Jian's analysis was indeed very objective, but it was ruthlessly rejected by Yu Dazhang:
"I just like to investigate some insignificant people and things."

"As long as they are people around Liu Siyuan, no matter if they are related to the case or not, we must get to the bottom of it."

"Remember, what you are investigating now is not the case, but Liu Siyuan himself and his social relationships."

It's a good thing to like using your brain, but using it in the wrong place will only cause trouble.

If Ma Jian had the ability to solve the unsolved case, this case would have been solved long before Yu Dazhang came to the detachment.

Uncle Zhao once said a classic line from a movie.

People, things change at different times. You take off the shoes that suit the river you cross, and wear pants that fit the size of your butt.

As a person, you must have a clear understanding of yourself and not do things beyond your ability.

Ma Jian made this mistake. He used his experience in handling previous cases to analyze the current case, and this was the biggest problem.

If this case was as he analyzed, it would not have become a backlog case.

"I understand."

After Yu Dazhang's reminder, although Ma Jian had not fully understood the situation, he already had an idea of it.

The person in charge of the case is the team leader Yu Dazhang.

He is the one who naturally does the thinking, and he only needs to follow orders.

The law of watches.

Owning more than two watches does not help people judge time more accurately, but instead creates confusion.

The same is true for handling cases. There can only be one brain in a team.

What others offer can only be suggestions, not opinions.

That night.

In a western restaurant.

Yu Dazhang and Qu Tuotuo sat opposite each other.

"Why did you think of eating Western food today?" Qu Tuotuo looked at the fat man in front of him curiously.

After swallowing the food in his mouth, Yu Dazhang replied slowly:

"I want to experience the life of you rich people."

Hearing this, Qu Tuotuo glared at him unhappily:
"Nonsense again. Why do you always like to divide people into different levels? I think everyone is equal."

"Equal?" Yu Dazhang laughed angrily. He glanced at the people around him:
"Look at the people dining here now, are there any working-class people?"

The Western restaurant where they dined was not considered high-end in Songhai, but the average consumption per person reached thousands of yuan.

This consumption standard is actually a threshold. Ordinary people cannot choose to eat in such a place.

Just imagine, an office worker with a monthly salary of over ten thousand yuan, brings his parents, wife and children, a family of five coming here to eat.

One meal costs five thousand, which is half of the salary.

With this kind of consumption, we won’t be able to make ends meet.

Moreover, there are only a very small number of people who can earn over 10,000 yuan a month.

"What does this have to do with whether you are a working class person or not?" Qu Tuotuo retorted:
“The restaurant doesn’t have any restrictions on this.”

There was nothing wrong with her thinking this way... Yu Dazhang did not continue to argue, but changed the subject:
"How do you view money now? Do you have no concrete concept at all?"

He asked this with a purpose.

Qu Tuotuo also returned from studying abroad, and her family conditions were no worse than those of the Liu family.

With the same experience and background, the understanding of money should be similar.

"How can I put this..."

Seeing Yu Dazhang looking at him seriously, Qu Tuotuo thought for a moment and said:

“It’s impossible to say that I don’t care about money at all, but I don’t take money too seriously either.”

"Money is just a tool to me."

"I use this tool to do what I'm interested in, which is probably money making money in your opinion."

"But for me, I enjoy the process. Whether the result is profit or loss, it won't have much impact on me."

"Because I'm not short of money, even if I don't make any trouble, it's enough for my life. The result is already determined."

Tools...Yu Dazhang captured the key point from her words.

That’s right, this is the difference between Qu Tuotuo and ordinary people.

All the money earned by the working class is used to maintain daily expenses.

Those with higher wages have a higher quality of life, while those with lower wages have a worse quality of life.

But the overall pace of life will not change, and money is spent on food, clothing, housing and transportation.

It is difficult for people in this class to save money, and even if they can save it by gritting their teeth, they are reluctant to invest it.

People of Qu Tuotuo's class will no longer worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation.

As long as Qu Wannian doesn't go bankrupt, no matter how much she struggles, she will never lack money in her life.

Since the outcome was already determined, money no longer meant much to her.

Money is a tool… Yu Dazhang repeated it silently in his mind.

Does Liu Qi think so too?
