Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 447 Irrefutable Evidence, Murder Case Solved

Now that Li Linjun has been identified as the murderer, it is not difficult for Da Zhang to deduce the crime process.

Besides, he knew Li Linjun's motive for murder in his previous life.

Therefore, he only needs to reconstruct the events based on the known information, without having to rack his brains.

Faced with Li Linjun's questioning, Yu Dazhang coldly replied:

"The long arm of the law will eventually catch up with you; you can't hide the truth forever."

As he spoke, he pointed to the top of his head:

"Your head injury hasn't fully healed yet, has it? Should we call a doctor to check you out?"

At this point in the interrogation, the truth had basically come to light.

Li Linjun's question just now was, in effect, an admission of guilt.

"She hit me first," he said softly.

Upon hearing this, Yu Dazhang didn't respond, but simply watched him quietly.

“I didn’t want to kill her, I really didn’t.”

Li Linjun's voice was very soft, as if he were talking to himself, or perhaps explaining:
“Although I was very angry at the time, I really didn’t mean to do anything to her. She suddenly picked up a hammer from the table and hit me.”

"After she hit me, I snatched the hammer from her hand and, in a fit of rage, hit her a few times. By the time I calmed down, it was too late."

It wasn't a crime of passion, a revenge killing, or for money.

Originally, Li Linjun was living a happy life, but due to his own unfounded delusions, he killed an innocent person and pushed himself into a desperate situation.

Such a special case is extremely rare, which explains why the task force failed to find any valuable clues in it at the time.

But once the motive for the murder was determined, people felt that such a thing was not surprising.

After all, there are far too many murders in real society caused by unrequited love.

Next, Li Linjun confessed without hesitation, revealing the entire story of the murder.

The main problem is that we have no choice but to confess.

Sweat stains remaining on his blood-stained clothes, the wound on his head from the small hammer, footprints in the designated spot...

This evidence is sufficient to prove that he is the murderer.

The evidence is irrefutable; remaining silent won't change anything.

As Yu Dazhang said, there might still be a glimmer of hope if they confess honestly.

Return home in the evening.

Yu Dazhang felt increasingly awkward looking at his own TV background wall.

During the meal, he finally couldn't help but make a suggestion:

"Mom, our house is decorated in such an old style, especially the living room. It looks like it's from the 1980s."

"Nonsense!" Li Xuehe glared at him.
"Did people renovate in the 1980s? Our house was renovated ten years ago, and it's still not outdated."

The generation gap is mainly reflected in differences in aesthetics.

Yu Dazhang now finds the four characters "Flowers Bloom in Wealth and Prosperity" on the background wall particularly jarring.

"How about we change the style of the living room feature wall?" he suggested.
"Let's go for a minimalist, modern style. I'll cover the renovation costs."

He would be willing to give up a month's salary just to remove those four words from the wall.

"What nonsense!" Li Xuehe said irritably.

"Who renovates by only changing the feature wall?"

Looks like I'll have to resort to some tricks... Yu Dazhang quickly drafted his thoughts, then gritted his teeth and said:

"Actually, it's like this: in the case I handled in another city before, the main culprit's family really liked decorations with the theme of 'flowers blooming and wealth'."

"As a result, my whole family went in, and they'll probably all be executed, so I..."

Before he could finish speaking, Li Xuehe quickly interrupted him:
"Change it! It has to be changed!! I'll have someone come to my house to take measurements tomorrow."

Two more days passed. The feature wall in my house was changed.

The December 12.8th burglary and murder case has also been successfully solved, and the case has officially entered the closing process.

A large team.

"Da Zhang, you're getting more and more amazing. You've made a great contribution as soon as you joined the team."

A police officer from the brigade looked at Yu Dazhang with envy and said:
"If there are any more cases like this in the future, please take me with you."

Upon hearing this, the other officers also gathered around.

"Yes, you came from the same brigade back then. Now that you're back, it's like you've come home."

"When there are any more difficult cases, you set up a special task force, and we'll all follow you."

Everyone was talking at once, all looking like they were determined to follow him to the death.

"No, no, no, please don't say that."

Yu Dazhang dared not presume in front of these people and quickly refused:
"I just got lucky for a while. Compared to you all, I'm still very inexperienced. I'll need your guidance in the future."

In terms of seniority, all the officers in this brigade were his seniors.

Although criminal investigators emphasize an individual's performance and work achievements, seniority is also an important factor that cannot be ignored.

Moreover, none of the police officers who can work in the First Brigade are ordinary people.

"You brat, are you deliberately making fun of us?" someone immediately objected.
"When it comes to solving cases, who's qualified to give you advice these days?"

The more he tried to explain, the worse it got... Yu Dazhang smiled helplessly, too lazy to bother explaining anymore.

Sometimes, solving a case too easily isn't necessarily a good thing.

In his view, this performance had exceeded his capabilities.

Without his memories of his past life, even if he could solve this case, it would never have been so quick.

I also want to keep a low profile, but my strength doesn't allow it... Yu Dazhang discovered that playing dumb is also an art.

Just then, a police officer rushed in from outside, looking very hurried.

Upon entering the house, he glanced around before finally fixing his gaze on Da Zhang.

"Da Zhang, someone is looking for you outside."

He approached Yu Dazhang and quickly said:
"There were more than ten people, each carrying a bag, who were stopped by the police officers on duty."

Before Da Zhang could react, an officer immediately spoke up:
"You should hide for a while. I suspect it's Yu's relatives coming to cause you trouble."

"Is that possible...?" Yu Dazhang thought it was unlikely.

The Yu family is too busy taking care of themselves to have any time to seek revenge.

However, in Songhai, Yu Dazhang couldn't think of anyone else who would come looking for him in groups.

This is never going to end... Just as he was about to find a place to hide, his phone suddenly rang.

He glanced at the caller ID and froze.

Team Leader Xu?

When he was handling the finger amputation case in S Province, he and Captain Xu exchanged contact information, but they haven't been in contact since.

After the call connected, Yu Dazhang asked directly:

"Why did you suddenly decide to call me?"

"I came to Songhai specifically to find you." Captain Xu's voice sounded somewhat urgent.
“I’m right downstairs from your branch office. I don’t know why, but as soon as I said I was looking for you, several people came out and stopped me from going up.”

Yu Dazhang replied somewhat awkwardly:

"You've come at the worst possible time; you've just arrived just as someone is trying to cause me trouble."

After all, being harassed by someone at his door is not a glorious thing, so he didn't elaborate.

"Someone's causing you trouble?" Captain Xu hesitated for a moment, but quickly realized what was going on:
"You mean these ten or so people downstairs? They came with me."
