Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 268 Why are the unlucky ones always the honest ones?

"Practice, practice courage."

He Tianxin's voice was as thin as a mosquito's hum.

"What?" Yu Dazhang looked at him in disbelief, his eyes wide open.

At that moment he suspected that he had heard it wrong.

"Build up your courage," He Tianxin repeated, and then added:

"In the words of the time, it was just finding someone to practice with."

As if he felt that such words were really hard to say, He Tianxin lowered his head again after he finished speaking, not daring to look at Yu Dazhang in front of him.

"Your mother..."

Yu Dazhang opened his mouth and swallowed the dirty words that were about to come out of his mouth.

After taking a deep breath, he said:

"You mean you didn't even know Han Lianwen before?"

He Tianxin said nothing, just nodded.

"There were two people on the road at that time, why did you choose him?" Yu Dazhang asked again.

He Tianxin lowered his head and replied:
"Because he looks more honest."

This answer almost made Yu Dazhang lose control, and he quickly took two deep breaths.

Unfortunately, this method can no longer relieve his emotions.

His fists were clenched tightly, veins popped out on his arms and forehead.

Damn, I want to kill someone!

Hell is empty, the devil is on earth.

It is because of my honesty that I was targeted by these beasts.

What kind of bullshit logic is this!

Why are honest people always the ones who suffer misfortune?

Should honest people die?!

At this moment, Yu Dazhang really wanted to kill someone. He stared at He Tianxin in front of him and really wanted to pounce on him and beat him to death with one punch.

"I guess you won't believe it, but I really didn't want to do that, but I had no choice."

As if sensing Yu Dazhang's anger, He Tianxin kept his head down and did not raise it when he spoke.

"At that time, we all had murder cases. If I didn't join them in bullying others, they would probably turn around and deal with me."

"I couldn't help it. I really couldn't help it. I had nightmares for many years afterwards."

"I never dreamed about the person I killed with my own hands, but I always dreamed about Han Lianwen. I went back to that rental house countless times in my dreams, and I also stopped it countless times in my dreams."

Being a good person in a dream? Yu Dazhang was disgusted by his words.

Having a nightmare means that he has done something wrong, and it has nothing to do with whether he has a conscience.

"Keep your head up!"

Yu Dazhang suddenly raised his voice:
"Is the person who made you hurt yourself related to Han Lianwen?!"

He had reason to ask this.

He Tianxin is not stupid. He can't just be asked to commit self-harm by just anyone calling him.

Even threatening his family won't work.

such as……

"He Tianxin, you must chop off four of your fingers, or I will kill your family."

"Who are you?"

"Don't worry about who I am, just do what I say."

"You are sick, get out of here."

Doesn't it sound a bit like a harassing phone call?

This kind of unfounded threat will only be regarded as a prank and no one will take it seriously.

Where there is a cause, there is an effect.

The suspect must let He Tianxin know the "reason" in order to make him obey.

Another scene dialogue...

"He Tianxin, do you still remember what you did sixteen years ago?"

"Who are you?"

"I'm here to seek justice for Han Lianwen."

"You, what do you want to do..." Do you feel better?

Only by telling him the evil things he had done could he believe that this was not a prank.

Among all the things that the small group had done together, Han Lianwen's case was the worst, so Yu Dazhang determined that the suspect was related to Han Lianwen.

And judging from He Tianxin's reaction, he felt the strongest sense of guilt towards Han Lianwen.

If it were any other victim, he might not necessarily be able to commit self-harm to atone for his sins.

"I, I don't know." He Tianxin stared and tried his best to deny:

"He never mentioned Han Lianwen. I hurt myself because he threatened me."

lie!

This time, Yu Dazhang saw through the expression on his face.

His uncertain eyes and slightly shrugged shoulder showed that He Tianxin felt uncomfortable with what he said, which was a reaction he would only have when lying.

"I don't have time to waste with you."

Yu Dazhang's face changed, and his voice became cold and hard:
"The conditions I promised you before were based on your honest confession. I will give you one last chance to tell the truth."

Still a threat.

In his opinion, this is the most effective way to make He Tianxin tell the truth.

After a few seconds of silence, He Tianxin pursed his lips and finally sighed:
"Yes, he mentioned Han Lianwen."

Hearing these words coming out of his mouth, Yu Dazhang felt ecstatic.

This is equivalent to confirming the results you have inferred.

Now that he had said it, He Tianxin simply stopped hiding it and continued:
"He said he was here to settle Han Lianwen's account, and told me that there was a knife on the fifth and a half floor of the stairwell."

"One finger represents one family member. He let me decide for myself."

Parents, wife, children... Yu Dazhang counted in his mind and it was exactly four people.

Before, he thought that He Tianxin cut off his fingers randomly, and he cut as many fingers as he broke with one stroke.

Now he understood that each finger was not chopped off in vain.

"Do you know who he is?" Yu Dazhang asked tentatively.

"I don't know. I really don't know." He Tianxin was afraid that he would not believe it, so he added:
"It's been so many years since the incident happened. I really can't think of anyone who can avenge Han Lianwen."

It's the truth... Yu Dazhang didn't dwell on this topic anymore, but changed the subject:
"One last question, who is left of the Twelve Young Masters of Xicheng?"

"You promised that I would only talk about my own affairs." He Tianxin refused to answer.

He struggled too much...Yu Dazhang found that He Tianxin was too cautious.

No wonder he was the only one without any criminal record.

Even when confessing something, he had to leave himself a way out to prevent his accomplices from taking their anger out on his family.

"You don't really think I know nothing."

Yu Dazhang looked at him coldly and said:
"Nine madnesses and one death, now only you and Wanbo are left."

"No, to be exact, Wanbo is the only one left. You were also retaliated against yesterday, and you don't have much time left."

When he heard the name "Wanbo", He Tianxin's eyes suddenly widened and he swallowed unconsciously.

Seeing that he was not going to speak yet, Yu Dazhang sighed and said with a hint of regret:
"In my opinion, your caution will harm your family. Do you think that if you don't say anything, Wanbo won't come looking for your family?"

"childish!"

"If I were him, I wouldn't be so relieved."

"For someone as cautious as you, there's no guarantee that you wouldn't tell your family about this, because doing so would be like giving your family an extra life-saving talisman."

"Even an outsider like me can think of this. Do you think he would think so?"

"And the only people who can truly keep secrets are the dead."

He found that He Tianxin's character was not that strong, and he seemed to be submissive.

So Yu Dazhang decided to provoke him by using the lives of his family members to stimulate him.

Sure enough, He Tianxin became excited after hearing the last part.

"No, you know, my family doesn't know anything."

He tried his best to defend himself, but as he spoke, his voice became lower and lower.

Yu Dazhang knew what he was thinking, so he deliberately said:

"You know Wanbo better than I do."

"You were retaliated against yesterday, but you only lost a finger and are conscious."

"Think about it from his perspective, is this a kind of preferential treatment?"
