Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 513 This time I'll investigate to the end with you.

Upon approaching, he first greeted his master, then asked:

"Is there any suspicion of homicide?"

As he walked over, he glanced at the corpse on the ground.

It was a girl, neatly dressed, with her hair pulled back high. Because her face was turned upwards, her features were not clearly visible.

"Based on the current situation, it is indeed suicide."

Lu Zhongxin's face was very pale, and his voice was heavy:

"Judging from the scene, she carefully dressed herself before jumping off the building, not only wearing neat clothes but also putting on light makeup."

Why did you call me here...? Yu Dazhang couldn't quite keep up with his master's train of thought.

He thought his master had noticed something else and that's why he sent him over.

After all that, he still committed suicide.

"Then why did you call me over?" Yu Dazhang looked at him in confusion.

Without a reasonable explanation, he even suspected that his master was deliberately tormenting him.

"No suicide note was found upstairs, nor on the deceased's body," Lü Zhongxin said with a grim face.
"She was a sophomore student from out of town studying in Songhai. Would someone like that commit suicide for no reason?"

Yu Dazhang understood what he meant.

Whether it's suicide due to a failed relationship or excessive academic pressure, people usually leave behind a suicide note or something similar before they die, which can be considered a farewell to their family.

"Have you checked the call records?" Yu Dazhang asked.

Some of the deceased would say goodbye to their families by phone before they died.

In his view, this girl was studying in another city, so it was very likely that she would use this method.

"Her phone is broken, and the technical department is trying to restore it."

Lü Zhongxin answered quickly:
"The SIM card information has been successfully read, and the call records will be available soon."

As they were talking, Qian Cheng, who was conducting an on-site investigation, walked towards them.

Upon approaching, he first nodded to Da Zhang as a greeting, then said to Lü Zhongxin:

"The time of death matches the time of the police report, so this can be confirmed as the primary crime scene."

He paused, looked up at the upstairs, and continued:

"No other fingerprints or footprints were found in the upstairs room, nor were there any signs of a struggle. In addition, there were no signs of human injury on the deceased's body."

Qian Cheng concluded by saying in a cautionary tone:
"The survey report will be out first thing tomorrow morning, and it won't be too different from what I just said."

As an explorer, he will only state the exploration results and established facts, without adding his own inferences.

However, from his words, both the master and apprentice could tell that he was subtly implying that the deceased did not die from homicide.

After Qian Cheng left, Yu Dazhang looked at Lü Zhongxin:

“Master, please speak frankly. There’s nothing I can’t tell you. Even if you’re wrong, I will do my best to make amends for you.”

He could tell as soon as he arrived that his master had other ideas, but hesitated to speak.

He seemed worried that his judgment might be wrong and thus implicate his apprentice.

Lu Zhongxin glanced at Yu Dazhang, and finally asked:
"Don't you think this suicide case is very similar to Zeng Xiaoxiao's suicide case?"

"Very similar?" Yu Dazhang recalled for a moment and then realized that there was a discrepancy in the information between him and his master.

When Zeng Xiaoxiao committed suicide, he was still working with the National Security Bureau at the 53rd Research Institute, arresting spies.

The reason I knew about this case was when the master and apprentice were gossiping, and Lü Zhongxin told him about it.

It was only through Zeng Guilin that I learned more about the reasons for Zeng Xiaoxiao's suicide.

In other words, Yu Dazhang listened to what others said from beginning to end.

If you suddenly ask him to compare two cases, he simply won't be able to make a comparison.

"Master, just tell me your deduction."

Yu Dazhang said with some helplessness:

"I have too little information about Zeng Xiaoxiao's case, so I cannot make a judgment."

He realized that Lü Zhongxin trusted him a little too much.

It's a bit much to expect him to make a deduction based on a case he's only heard about.

"Let me start by pointing out the commonalities," Lü Zhongxin said thoughtfully.

"First of all, they are both female college students, and their gender, age, occupation, and even family background are extremely similar."

"Secondly, both of their suicides were sudden, and neither of them left a suicide note."

His tone became serious:

“I say this with a basis: if these two women had shown obvious signs before committing suicide, their families would not have missed them.”

"Since their family members were not by their side when they committed suicide, it means that their suicide was a spur-of-the-moment decision."

At this point, Lü Zhongxin's brows furrowed even more:

"There is still time to commit suicide."

“Suicide cases are rare in our jurisdiction, but two have occurred recently, both of them involving college students. This alone is suspicious.”

Something unusual must be going on... Yu Dazhang knew what his master was trying to say.

He suspects that the girl who committed suicide this time, like Zeng Xiaoxiao, also chose to end her life because of debt problems.

The reason why Lü Zhongxin did not say so explicitly is that the evidence he currently has is insufficient to prove his inference.

Yu Dazhang's gaze shifted to the cold corpse not far away, and his eyes gradually narrowed.

If Master's deduction is correct, then both suicides were caused by human intervention.

In his past life, he only remembered the bombing case because it was so sensational at the time; in comparison, the suicide case seemed insignificant.

Little did people know that the bombing was caused by a seemingly insignificant suicide.

"You suspect that the headquarters only dealt with Zeng Guilin?"

When Yu Dazhang asked this question, his hands were trembling slightly.

He really didn't want to think about it, but the facts were right in front of him, and he couldn't help but think about it.

More than a week has passed since the Criminal Investigation Department took Zeng Guilin away.

If the headquarters really intends to investigate illegal online lending, then this girl will most likely not die, since more than a week is enough time for them to take action.

"I am not sure."

Lu Zhongxin looked at his apprentice and shook his head helplessly:
"Just like neither of us can be sure right now whether this girl committed suicide because of debt problems."

At this point, the initial on-site investigation had been completed, and the bodies on the ground had been covered with white sheets.

"Then investigate!"

Yu Dazhang stared at the corpse covered with a white sheet, his tone icy:
"This time, no one can come. I'll go with you to investigate this to the end."

For some reason, Lü Zhongxin, who was initially somewhat dejected, straightened his back unconsciously after hearing his apprentice's words.

A hint of excitement flashed in his eyes, as if his apprentice was his pillar of support.

"it is good."

He gritted his teeth and looked at the white cloth:

"Investigate this thoroughly!"

The next day.

Lu Zhongxin voluntarily requested to stop his vacation and, together with two team members who had just returned from their vacation, retrieved the call records.

Yu Dazhang went to the technical department early in the morning and got his phone back from Qian Cheng, which had been repaired overnight.

Nine o'clock in the morning, the first brigade.

"The deceased's identity has been reconfirmed, and all call records and communication software on the phone have been investigated."

Lu Zhongxin placed a newly compiled document on Yu Dazhang's desk.

His eyes were bloodshot, and it was obvious that he hadn't slept well last night.

Yu Dazhang nodded, then picked up the documents on the table and quickly began to read them.

Wang Lingling, female, 20 years old, is a student at Songhai University of Finance and Economics...

This time the information is much more detailed and comprehensive than last night's, including not only the specific age but also the school attended.

Having only watched the beginning, Yu Dazhang couldn't help but mutter to himself:

"A 211 university, a Double First-Class university, what a great school!"
