Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 224: Even a Crazy Person Can Provide Clues

what's the situation?
Yu Dazhang and the other two were stunned by the scene before them.

This is the first time I've seen someone scolding himself so fluently.

This is not over yet.

Li Yong on the bed cursed more and more excitedly, and his words became more and more violent.

His mouth is full of dirty words, all used to insult himself.

The words were dirty, but they didn't make him angry... Yu Dazhang looked at Li Yong lying on the bed, and he couldn't tell what he felt.

No wonder he wasn't restrained.

Li Yong's madness was only verbal, and he did not do anything extreme physically.

Even when a stranger appeared in the ward, he didn't notice it, as if he was completely immersed in his own world.

After observing for a while, Yu Dazhang turned to look at Li Yong's wife:

"Has he always been like this?"

"I'll stop when I get tired of scolding." The woman showed a helpless look:

"It's time to drink water and eat. After he's full, he'll continue to curse."

This is not bad, at least it is not aggressive...Yu Dazhang believes that this is a relatively mild symptom among mental illnesses.

It's much better than those mentally ill people who attack others.

Just when Ma Jian and Liu Miao thought there was nothing more to investigate further, Yu Dazhang took a chair and sat down beside the bed.

What is he doing?
Both of them looked at Yu Dazhang in confusion.

The victim is in this situation, why don’t you leave?

Is it possible that he can still talk to you?

"Oh, that's right." Yu Dazhang suddenly turned around and said to them:

"We don't need so many people here, just wait outside."

After saying that, he turned his head and looked at Li Yong who was lying on the bed and kept insulting him.

What's so good about this?

Ma Jian and Liu Miao really couldn't understand Yu Dazhang's behavior.

After waiting for a while, seeing that he was still staring at Li Yong motionlessly, the two had to temporarily leave the ward.

At this time, even Li Yong's young wife noticed that something was wrong.

She came closer and asked in a low voice:

"Officer, what are you doing?"

"Nothing." Yu Dazhang smiled at her:
"Too much talk leads to mistakes. Maybe there is something worth paying attention to in his words."

Li Yong's wife was stunned after hearing this.

Too much talk leads to mistakes?
Is this idiom appropriate here?

Why do I feel a little irritated?

"Since you are willing to listen, then listen to your heart's content."

She said something unhappily and left the ward.

Yu Dazhang realized that although this woman was Li Yong's wife, she did not show much concern for Li Yong.

I guess she didn't marry Li Yong out of love.

There is such a big age gap between the two of them, no one would believe it if they said they didn't have any ulterior motives.

After a while, Yu Dazhang and Li Yong were the only ones left in the ward.

The reason why he stayed to listen to Li Yong scolding him was that he felt that what Ding Feng had reminded him before did make sense.

Although that person's emotional intelligence is a bit low, his logical thinking is still very reliable.

But...

Yu Dazhang estimated that Ding Feng himself had not listened carefully to the victim's mumbling.

About ten minutes passed.

There was suddenly something incomprehensible in Li Yong's words.

"Shao Xin, Shao Xin, I am worse than an animal. I don't deserve to be forgiven. I..."

Yu Dazhang: ????
Was that a person’s name just now?
It sounded like a two-character name, and Li Yong repeated it aloud.

He immediately took out his notebook, opened it to a blank page, and wrote the word "heartburn" on it.

And drew a question mark behind it.

Then, he wrote down Shao Xin, Shao Xin, Shao Xin, Shao Xin...

In total, more than ten names with the same pronunciation but different characters are listed.

After doing all this, he continued to listen to Li Yong talking to himself.

More than ten minutes passed... "Shao Xin, I deserve to die, I am worse than pigs and dogs..."

There it is again!

Yu Dazhang heard it very clearly this time, it was indeed a name.

And this time Li Yong did not repeat himself, but directly called out the full name: Shao Xin!
The pronunciation is definitely correct, but I don’t know which “Xin” it is.

Then he picked up a pen and heavily crossed out the word "heartburn" on the notebook.

Then he stared at the string of homonymous names on the notebook and couldn't help but mutter to himself:

"Not only is he scolding himself, but he also seems to want to atone for his sins."

For more than an hour, Yu Dazhang sat quietly beside the bed, listening to Li Yong's endless nonsense.

During this period, Ma Jian and Liu Miao came in twice.

Seeing that he seemed to be concentrating, I didn't bother him.

In the end, even Li Yong's wife's eyes changed when she looked at Yu Dazhang.

He is really looking for clues!

As a wife, she couldn't have the patience to listen to a mentally ill person's nonsense and be so focused.

After listening for nearly two hours, Yu Dazhang closed the notebook in his hand, stood up and stretched.

Now he can be sure that Li Yong currently only remembers the person named "Shao Xin".

During these two hours, he mentioned this name every ten minutes or so.

The rest of the time, he was just scolding himself.

If you don't listen to what Li Yong says, it would be difficult to discover the name "Shao Xin".

After all, no one would listen carefully to a mentally ill person talking to himself.

Yu Dazhang also thought about communicating with Li Yong.

But judging from the other party's state, communication is impossible.

Putting the chair back in place, Yu Dazhang looked at Li Yong's wife and asked:
"Do you know Shao Xin?"

The woman seemed unfamiliar with the name. She just thought about it for a moment, then shook her head and said:
"I don't know him. I've never heard of him."

Yu Dazhang was stunned for a moment when he heard this.

It shouldn't be.

Logically speaking, as a wife to someone as important as Li Yong, how could she have never even heard of it?

Could it be that Li Yong has a mistress outside?

It's very possible.

House flowers don’t have the fragrance of wild flowers.

And the name Shao Xin sounds like a female.

Yu Dazhang asked unwillingly:

"How is your relationship as a couple?"

The woman was unhappy when she heard this. She glared at him and said in an unhappy tone:
"What do you mean? We have a very good relationship. Lao Li stays with me whenever he has time."

It must be because they got married not long ago and haven’t had enough fun… Yu Dazhang made a summary comment in his mind.

Then he opened the notebook again and showed her a string of names with the same pronunciation but different characters written on it.

"I have no impression at all." The woman looked confused.
"What's the relationship between this person and Lao Li?"

She wasn't pretending, she really didn't recognize her... Yu Dazhang had been staring at her profile and didn't notice anything unusual.

"I don't know either, I just asked casually."

Yu Dazhang gave a vague answer and then said goodbye and left.

When he arrived outside the hospital, he thought about it for a moment, then said to Ma Jian:
"Go and investigate Li Yong's social connections. Don't let go of anyone who has any connection with him. Pay special attention to a person named Shao Xin."

As he spoke, he took out a notebook, opened it, and showed Ma Jian a string of names on it.

"I don't know the exact name, but I can be sure of the pronunciation."

Ma Jian carefully read the notebook, and finally nodded and said:
"Understood, I'll go now."

Seeing Ma Jian leave, Liu Miao straightened his back unconsciously.

He knew it was his turn.

This is the good thing about working on cases with Yu Dazhang. You don't need to use your brain, you just need to follow his orders.

Sure enough, as soon as Ma Jian left, Yu Dazhang looked at him:
"Go investigate Li Yong's source of income and see if there are any shady transactions or activities in secret."

After hearing this, Liu Miao was filled with questions.

"Are you really going to investigate the victim?" He looked incredulous.

"He's already like this. Even if we find out anything, it's useless. We can't convict him."
