Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 301 That Year I Was Imprisoned
So he acquired that knowledge during his captivity.

There is no need to infer how he learned it specifically, just ask Fang Peng himself.

Yu Dazhang pondered it for a while, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was the most likely possibility.

But there was still a problem he couldn't figure out.

If Fang Peng had been imprisoned, why didn't he call the police?

If he called the police, there would definitely be relevant records in his personal information.

Two possibilities.

1. After calling the police, the case was not filed for some reason.

2. The police report was not made in Songhai.

Or, maybe both.

Yu Dazhang wrote down the two key words "imprisonment" and "call the police" in the notebook.

Staring at the word "imprisonment" on the notebook, another question popped up in his mind.

What does he have to imprison?
It’s easy to guess the purpose of Fang Peng imprisoning the girl.

But why did others imprison him?
It is not cost-effective to provide him with food and drink during his captivity.

Such questions cannot be answered by inference, and there is no need to speculate.

After closing the notebook and putting it into his bag, Yu Dazhang stood up and stretched.

Now that the hypothesis has been made, it’s time to verify it.

He took out his cell phone and called Ma Jian:

"You and Liu Miao go to the detention center now. We'll meet there."

Twenty minutes later.

Yu Dazhang and the other two met in the detention center and met Fang Peng.

After not seeing him for two days, Fang Peng looked much older. He became haggard, with sunken eye sockets and a sallow complexion.

After he was handcuffed to the interrogation chair by the prison guard, Yu Dazhang asked:

"sick?"

Fang Peng shook his head and said nothing.

"That's good." Yu Dazhang breathed a sigh of relief and then asked:
"What have you been thinking about these past two days?"

When Ma Jian and Liu Miao heard this, they couldn't help but look at him.

Isn't it so obvious?
It was obvious that Fang Peng was sleep deprived and he looked unrecognizable due to worry.

"Am I hopeless?"

Fang Peng raised his head and looked at Yu Dazhang with expectation in his eyes:

"The last time I went back, the people in the cell analyzed my situation and said that I would definitely be sentenced to death."

They are right... Yu Dazhang replied seriously:

"Don't listen to what others say. If they have the final say, then what is the purpose of the court?"

Now he could only comfort Fang Peng by chatting about family matters.

The most talked about topic in the detention center is guessing the sentence.

Because the people imprisoned there are all waiting for the verdict, what they are most interested in is naturally the result of their own verdict.

There is a very strange phenomenon: those who are imprisoned often guess their sentence very accurately.

In many cases, their estimates have been proven to be more accurate than what the lawyers said.

"So, is there still hope for my situation?"

Fang Peng was refreshed when he heard Yu Dazhang's words, and his face looked red:

"Just tell me what you need me to do, and I'll cooperate."

Western medicine has sentenced you to death, but traditional Chinese medicine can give you a second life... Yu Dazhang suddenly felt like a donkey leader.

"I came here this time because I do have something to ask you. I hope you can answer truthfully."

Yu Dazhang said as he took out a notebook from his bag, opened it, glanced at the keywords written on it, and then asked:

"What did you do in 2009?"

He thought Fang Peng wanted to recall it, but he didn't expect the other party to answer immediately:
“I was locked up that year.”

Guess it right!
Yu Dazhang felt excited.

Ma Jian and Liu Miao looked puzzled.

In their opinion, Fang Peng's detention should mean that he was arrested by the police and then detained in a detention center. However, there was no relevant record in his file.

"Tell me more details." Yu Dazhang asked:
"Who locked you up, and where?"

The three elements of an event: time, place, and people.

He only knew the time of his detention in 2009, so naturally he would first ask about the location and the people involved.

"I don't know." Fang Peng looked a little confused:

"I still don't know who is holding me captive, let alone the address."

do not know anything?
Yu Dazhang stared at him, trying to find any signs of lying on his face, but unfortunately he failed.

The confusion on Fang Peng's face was not pretended; it was the emotion that would only appear after fruitless thinking.

"Then tell me about how you were locked up."

He could only settle for the second best option now and figure out what happened first.

"Can you give me a cigarette?" Fang Peng asked.

You really know how to find opportunities to lend a hand... Yu Dazhang took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Liu Miao who was sitting next to him.

After a while, Fang Peng took a deep breath with a cigarette in his mouth.

"In 08, I quit my job as a commuter car driver in the factory. Although driving for the factory was easy, the salary was too low."

He stared at the white smoke rising from the top of the cigarette and said calmly:

"It was the end of the year, so I didn't rush to find a job. Instead, I went to Yangcheng in Province D after the Chinese New Year. I heard that it was easy to find a job there and the salary was high."

"As soon as I left the train station, I was picked up by someone. No, I should say I was forcibly dragged into the car."

Hearing this, Yu Dazhang couldn't help but interrupt:

"Wait a minute. You mean, the person who picked you up didn't know you, and you didn't even have any communication with him. They just took you into the car?"

This sounds crazy and illogical.

Even if human traffickers kidnap people, they will not go to the exit of the train station to pick them up.

How brave must one be to do this in public?

“It’s not like there’s no communication at all.”

Fang Peng recalled and said:
"They kept saying things like, 'We finally got you, we've been waiting for you for a long time,' and so on."

"I remember I said several times that you got the wrong person."

"But they acted as if they didn't hear me. Two strong men, one on each side, carried me into a minivan."

Still not right... Yu Dazhang interrupted again:
"There must be surveillance cameras at the exit. They should have been caught long ago for such a blatant crime."

And with so many people watching, someone will definitely call the police.

At that time, the police will be able to find people and vehicles through surveillance.

"Of course not at the exit." Fang Peng explained:

"When I said I had just left the train station, I meant that I had already walked out of the train station."

"Before I went there, I checked online for hotels near the train station and chose a relatively cheap one."

"I was picked up on the way to the hotel."

"After I got in the car, they put a cloth bag over my head. I struggled at first, but I was beaten instead."

Speaking of it.

He picked up the cigarette and took a deep puff, with a look of pain and despair on his face.

It can be seen that the experience was a very painful memory for him, so much so that he still feels scared when he thinks about it now.

"Were there many people around where you were pulled into the car?"

As soon as Yu Dazhang asked, he realized that he had missed something, so he immediately added:
"Did they drive their car to intercept you, or did they park their car on the side of the road and wait for you to get close before they attacked you?"

This question is important.

Through Fang Peng's answer, he could judge whether those people were committing crimes impromptu or were lying in wait for their prey with a premeditated plan.

"It happened so suddenly that I didn't notice anyone nearby."

Fang Peng thought for a moment and replied:
"But there shouldn't be many people there, because I was already out of the train station."

"Also, they didn't stop me in the car. I approached them and then they rushed over and pulled me into the car."

Yu Dazhang narrowed his eyes after hearing this.

Waiting for the rabbit!
