Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 482 This woman is too perfect
"You, you can't doubt me."

Chen Yang was truly frightened.

Yesterday, when he saw Liu Hai being taken away by the Beijing Guoan team, his legs went weak with fear.

During the day they were still chatting and laughing together, but at night his friend became a prisoner. This sudden change left him somewhat at a loss.

"Now that everything is clear, I was framed."

Chen Yang pulled Yu Dazhang aside and whispered:

"I returned that squirrel to Professor Ying; I certainly don't dare keep it as a pet anymore."

“I’ve already thought it through. If this matter continues unresolved, I will apply to leave the 53rd Institute and find a different work environment.”

"He's a smart man..." Yu Dazhang couldn't help but take another look at him.

Rather than being a bystander, staying away from these troubles is the wisest choice.

"I was kidding you."

Yu Dazhang smiled and reassured him:
"If I really suspected you, you would have been taken away by the National Security Bureau last night. I even wanted you to help me find the mole."

Looking at his only remaining companion, Yu Dazhang was filled with reluctance.

If Chen Yang also gets into trouble, he'll have no friends left here.

"Of course that's fine."

Chen Yang seemed to be in high spirits:
"Although I don't know how to investigate cases, I've been here for over a year, and I'm more familiar with the people and the environment than you are. Just tell me what you need me to do."

This is indeed an advantage... Yu Dazhang nodded in deep agreement.

His current weakness is that he is not familiar with this place.

I've been studying optics these past few days and haven't had much time to interact with people in the research team.

I just made two new friends, but one of them broke last night.

"Let's switch roles."

Yu Dazhang looked at Chen Yang with a serious expression:

"If you were a police officer, based on your understanding of the people in the team, who do you think is most likely to be the mole?"

After hearing this, Chen Yang thought for a moment, then said somewhat awkwardly:
"Isn't this a bad idea? What if we wrongly accuse an innocent person?"

"I didn't ask you to convict anyone." Yu Dazhang glared at him irritably.
"You really think you're a judge. Suppose, do you understand? I just asked you to help me analyze it."

He really needed to clear his head at this point.

No matter how well you think things through, relying solely on your own thinking will inevitably lead to oversights and make it easy to get stuck on minor details.

This is why a special task force must be established for every major case.

First, focus.

On the other hand, when everyone gathers together to think about the case, different people will analyze the problem from different angles, thereby filling in the gaps and improving the success rate of solving the case.

"Let me think."

As Chen Yang spoke, his eyes looked toward the experimental hall.

His gaze swept over the busy researchers, and his expression grew increasingly serious.

Five minutes later, he looked away and pinched his brow hard.

"It's hard to say."

Chen Yang said with a hint of helplessness:
"In my opinion, once a person reaches the level of professor, there is no reason for him to betray the country."

He paused briefly, seemingly considering how to better explain his thoughts.

After a moment, he continued:
You may not be familiar with this.

"Obtaining a senior professional title in academia is not only a recognition of professional knowledge, but more importantly, it brings status, reputation and wide influence."

Chen Yang's tone gradually became serious:

"A person like this will be respected wherever they go."

"Moreover, the satisfaction and sense of accomplishment that comes from this social status and reputation is incomparable to money."

"Furthermore, once they reach the professor level, they won't have to worry about money; the government will take care of all their concerns."

He had explained it very clearly, and Yu Dazhang naturally understood it.

Trying to persuade a professor to betray you is almost impossible, no matter what conditions you promise.

Why not use a honey trap?

This is indeed a breakthrough point. But it is extremely difficult to achieve.

This is also why Chen Yang is too lazy to mention it.

These highly educated individuals often look for partners within their own social circles because they share common interests.

To put it simply, it means there needs to be a spiritual connection.

What you think of as a honey trap: a bunch of beautiful women throwing themselves at you like they're free.

That's a trick by a scoundrel.

The real honey trap: She'll make you feel like you two are a match made in heaven.

It makes you feel that this love is more important than your career.

Many people have never experienced true love, so they don't know how wonderful it would be to have a true love tailored just for you by someone else.

Once you understand what the honey trap is, then look back at those professors.

What kind of woman would they need to give up their careers?
Isn't that a bit too difficult?

"If you had to pick a suspect from among those professors, who would you choose?"

Yu Dazhang said in a forceful tone:

"You must choose at least one, but you can choose more than one."

He realized that Chen Yang was actually being cunning, even though he seemed to be helping him analyze things.

To deal with someone who doesn't want to offend anyone, you have to be tough.

"If I had to choose..."

Chen Yang looked troubled, but he also began to think about it seriously.

About a minute later, he raised his head and slowly said:
"Professor Wu, Professor Qian, Professor Yang..."

He paused for a moment, thought for a moment, and then continued:

"The only three I can think of are them."

Three people isn't a small number... Yu Dazhang thought he would only name one person.

Being able to name three at once shows that Chen Yang has indeed thought about it seriously.

"What's the reason?" Yu Dazhang pressed.

He's not so easily fooled; he won't readily believe someone without a valid reason.

"Age is the main factor."

Chen Yang replied:
"These three people were a bit older when they obtained their senior professional titles. Whatever the reason, they must have felt a sense of loss."

"Moreover, in my opinion, the three of them are somewhat domineering in their behavior."

As he said this, his brow furrowed slightly:

"Such people have a strong sense of self-esteem and may do some outrageous things to save face."

It's a bit far-fetched, but it's still a plausible reason... Yu Dazhang thought to himself.

Wait ~
Something seems off.

Yu Dazhang looked at Chen Yang with a strange expression:
"When we drank together before, you had a lot of opinions about Professor Ying, but why didn't you have any doubts about her this time?"

He remembered clearly that Chen Yang had said Ying Xuelian was no simple woman.

Perhaps it was because she became a professor at the age of 30 that Chen Yang felt she had used some underhanded methods.

"Isn't it obvious? She has no motive."

Chen Yang explained:
"At her age, to have reached the professor level means she has a very bright future, and she has a good chance of becoming an academician in the future."

"With her qualifications, as long as she's not out of her mind, no one would risk their future and ruin their career."

So that's what he was thinking... Now Yu Dazhang felt even more confident.

The reason he asked Chen Yang was actually to find out who was the least suspicious.

The real traitor will always try to minimize the suspicion against them.

But the more you strive for perfection, the more flaws you find.

For example, now, the little squirrel has returned to Ying Xuelian's hands.
