Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 51: Birds of a feather

This is crucial. Through this question, Yu Dazhang can directly understand the true nature of the father-son relationship between them.

Whether or not they acknowledged the father-son relationship was no longer important.

A paternity test can do the trick.

Kong Lingjie's previous reaction was equivalent to an indirect admission.

Sure enough, upon hearing this question, Kong Lingjie became hesitant:

"I, I, well, I... I didn't want to make her worry anymore... so I just..."

"Is it Zhou Zizhe who doesn't want to recognize me?" Yu Dazhang interrupted him, his eyes narrowed into slits:

"I guess he doesn't even want to acknowledge you as his biological father, but he has to keep in touch with you only because you found him."

"You didn't blame him, but you didn't want your ex-wife to be hurt again, so you kept it a secret."

"It must be hard to be rejected by your own son, right?"

Kong Lingjie's face turned ugly, his lips were tightly pursed, and he did not answer.

Yu Dazhang did not ask further questions, but continued:

"You think that if you come here to take the blame, you won't be able to find Zhou Zizhe, because you have no direct relationship in the household registration."

"Unfortunately, you missed a very important point... logic."

"There are only two reasons for taking the blame for someone else: for money or for love."

"And 'affection' can be divided into family affection, friendship, and love."

"You know the process of elimination, the only logical relationship between you two is family love."

Yu Dazhang said, picking up the small bottle again:

"You only guessed that there was blood in it, and you definitely thought it was Zhou Zizhe's."

"Let me tell you, this is a blood sample that our detectives took after obtaining your ex-wife's consent."

"Don't worry, we didn't tell her that the child was found."

"Zhou Zizhe will do a paternity test with you and your wife."

"Do you know what this is called?"

Yu Dazhang put down the small bottle and stared at Kong Lingjie's pale face:
"This is ironclad evidence! This is irrefutable evidence! No one can save you!!"

The powerful words plunged the man opposite into a dead silence.

He lowered his head, as if trying to avoid Yu Dazhang's sight.

After a moment, he raised his head again, his eyes full of regret, anger, and undisguised despair.

"It's all my fault. If I hadn't lost him, none of this would have happened."

"No, it's not my fault. It's the damned human traffickers. Those beasts should be chopped into pieces and their bones crushed into ashes!"

Kong Lingjie roared, and this seemingly cowardly and introverted man seemed like a different person.

At this moment, a fierce light flashed in his eyes.

"Yes, it's all the beasts' fault. Why don't you catch them? You should catch those scumbags!"

"Zizhe is actually a victim as well. Besides, I took all the responsibility for his mistakes. What else do you want?"

"The son's debt must be paid by the father. I will bear all the blame. Please let him go!"

As if he had grasped the last straw, Kong Lingjie stared at the two people opposite him with pleading eyes, hoping to see moved expressions on their faces.

But reality was destined to disappoint him. Lu Zhongxin had a blank expression on his face, while Yu Dazhang's face was full of contempt and ridicule.

"The father should pay the son's debt?" Yu Dazhang looked at Kong Lingjie coldly:
"From the moment you decided to sacrifice others to show your father's love, you and your son have become birds of a feather."

"Stop disgusting me."

After saying this, Yu Dazhang stood up, nodded to Lu Zhongxin beside him, and walked out.

Before leaving, he took a last look at Kong Lingjie who lowered his head again and clenched his fists.

This man doesn't deserve any mercy!

If he wasn't a policeman, he really wanted to rush over and beat Kong Lingjie up.

Lü Zhongxin was more than capable of handling the next interrogation, so Yu Dazhang only needed to replace someone else. After speaking to the task force, he and Qian Cheng came to another interrogation room.

Originally, they wanted to try Zhou Zizhe again tomorrow, but just when they were trying Kong Lingjie, Yu Dazhang changed his mind.

Since Kong Lingjie, the biological father, has already given up, why not cut off this last straw?

When will the case be closed?

Just today!

Yu Dazhang closed his eyes and rested, quickly sorting out the process in his mind.

The relationships between them have been clarified and the evidence in each link has been collected.

The motive for the murder, the process of committing the crime, the subsequent planning, the transportation and hiding of the body, the falsification of the scene, and the final crime...

No more, nothing is missing.

This case has been able to do so... beyond all reasonable doubt.

Then it’s a matter of time.

If Zhou Zizhe could confess voluntarily, the case could be closed earlier.

Otherwise, it will take some effort.

But the result will not change.

When he thought of this, Yu Dazhang felt much more relaxed all over and had an indescribable joy in his heart.

After a while, Zhou Zizhe was taken into the interrogation room by two team members.

When we met again, his face had regained its composure, but the hatred hidden in his eyes was still clearly visible.

"It's been more than three hours since we last met." Yu Dazhang said slowly:

"I think you should have figured it out."

Zhou Zizhe nodded and said nothing.

"Guess where I came from just now?" Yu Dazhang asked with a smile.

He just wants to give the other party an illusion... I feel relieved now because I have found a new clue.

Qian Cheng, who was recording at the side, stopped. He didn't understand why Yu Dazhang asked this question.

It's totally meaningless.

Why are you still clashing with the suspect?

Unexpectedly, Zhou Zizhe spoke this time:

"Another interrogation room?"

"Congratulations, you got it right." Yu Dazhang wanted to give him a thumbs up, but he immediately realized that the relationship between them was not suitable for this gesture.

Putting away his smile, Yu Dazhang said seriously:
"Kong Lingjie, your biological father, has already begun to confess."

"Really?" Zhou Zizhe didn't look surprised or shocked at all, as if he had expected this to happen.

"Not like you." Yu Dazhang looked at him with some surprise:
"You should have defended yourself."

In his perception of Zhou Zizhe, he is a person who will argue even if he is unreasonable.

Extreme, stubborn, and self-righteous, this is the real Zhou Zizhe, an inferior, introverted, spoiled child.

But the man in front of me seemed a little abnormal.

"It's useless." Zhou Zizhe shook his head:

"I majored in criminal investigation at the police academy, and I have studied almost all criminal investigation methods."

"The moment you started to suspect, it became unavoidable."

"Perhaps the blood test in ancient times could still be wrong, but DNA testing cannot be wrong."

"You will definitely let us do an appraisal, and I can't change your decision."

Oh no, he calmed down... Yu Dazhang was not happy when he heard this, but a little nervous.

Seeing that Yu Dazhang did not respond immediately, Zhou Zizhe took the opportunity to make a request:
"Can you let me see the transcript of Zhang Yan's parents? If it's not convenient, you can just read it to me."
