Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 517 Playing tricks on criminal police is childish!
He was being conservative in saying that.

The fact that Shen Fei was already involved in crime at the age of eighteen indicates that he had already committed many illegal and disorderly acts before that.

It's just that I was young before, so many things weren't recorded.

Yu Dazhang picked up the documents on the table and flipped through two pages.

This person was exactly the same as the debt collectors he remembered; you really couldn't do this job without some criminal record.

Ordinary people will instinctively feel scared when they hear that someone has been to prison.

Such a background and identity are inherently intimidating.

If a recent college graduate were to handle the debt collection, the success rate would be predictably low.

"Where is he now?" Yu Dazhang asked.

He meant: Did the person run away?
Since Wang Lingling ended up speaking with Shen Fei, it proves that Shen Fei made some threatening remarks during that call.

If he knew Wang Lingling had committed suicide, he would definitely hide first.

"This person has no fixed abode."

The group member replied:
“Most of the time, he stays in hotels or bathhouses overnight. It’s not hard to find him, but it will take some time.”

Being homeless is also a natural phenomenon.

If we follow this pattern to eliminate the entertainment venues Shen Fei frequents, finding him will be easy.

"Let's hurry," Yu Dazhang urged.
"We don't have a single decent suspect in our hands, so we're always a bit short of funds."

After he finished speaking, he looked at another group member.

The team member immediately understood and reported:

“Yesterday I drove to Wang Lingling’s hometown in a neighboring province and met her parents.”

According to her parents, Wang Lingling had not asked them for money recently, but had been contacting them more frequently.

He paused, seemingly organizing his thoughts, before continuing:
"From her parents' description, Wang Lingling did not seem to have any obvious emotional changes, but she seemed to be in a heavy mood, and she would not say anything when asked."

"Later, I contacted some of her close relatives, and they all said that Wang Lingling had never borrowed money from them."

Finally, the group member emphasized:
"Wang Lingling has a very good reputation in her hometown. Everyone praises her."

This is in line with Wang Lingling's personality... Yu Dazhang came to this conclusion in his mind.

A girl who has suffered hardships since childhood naturally has a strong sense of family.

Her habit of only reporting good news and not bad news shows that Wang Lingling would rather commit suicide than burden her family.

Yu Dazhang couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

If Wang Lingling had chosen to ask her family for help, perhaps she wouldn't have ended up on this path.

At least someone is helping her face it, which is much better than her bearing it all alone.

Then he looked at his master.

Lü Zhongxin nodded slightly, then said in a formal and serious tone:

"Wang Lingling's dormitory has four people, including her. I have contacted her three roommates, two of whom are from Songhai."

"According to them, Wang Lingling usually lives a very frugal life and can't even afford to buy cosmetics."

Then, his tone became slightly more forceful:
"However, since the start of this semester, Wang Lingling's behavior has changed significantly."

"She started to pay more attention to her appearance, not only buying designer clothes and shoes, but also putting a lot of thought into her dressing style."

At this point, Lü Zhongxin frowned slightly:
"Wang Lingling started dating a boyfriend this semester, and it seems she even bought him some expensive gifts."

"I got her boyfriend's phone number, but I haven't been able to get through to him."

Something's not right... Yu Dazhang immediately realized the problem.

Logically speaking, online loans for a college student should not exceed 5,000 yuan.

Even if nude photos are posted, the number won't exceed this; there are real cases to support this claim.

Even if Wang Lingling managed to borrow 5,000 yuan, it wouldn't be enough to buy designer clothes and shoes, let alone cosmetics.

This amount of money is barely enough to buy an iPhone.

But not only did she buy them, she also had extra money to buy expensive gifts for her boyfriend.

unless……

She takes out loans from multiple platforms.

However, this possibility is very low, because illegal online lending platforms usually won't give her this opportunity.

Once the interest starts to accrue, the amount owed will increase exponentially.

Let me tell you a true story. There was a woman who used nude photos as collateral to borrow 5000 yuan, but only received 3500 yuan.

Then interest started compounding, and she had to borrow from other platforms to repay the 5000 yuan.

As a result, in four months, the 5000 yuan grew to 550 million yuan through compound interest.

You read that right, the unit has changed from yuan to ten thousand.

All the money she borrowed later was to repay the initial 5000 yuan she borrowed.

This is someone with a big heart, able to grit their teeth and persevere until 550 million.

Those with poor mental fortitude simply cannot sustain such a large sum of money; they collapse halfway through.

They either ran away, went mad, or committed suicide.

Yu Dazhang could tell from his master's expression that he had also noticed the problem.

"The key lies with Wang Lingling's new boyfriend."

Lu Zhongxin thought for a moment and continued:
"I have a feeling that there is a lot of exaggeration in what Wang Lingling's three roommates said, and it seems like the three of them have conspired together, as many of their statements are highly similar."

That's right, we can't just believe one side of the story... Yu Dazhang also felt that we should verify things from multiple perspectives.

Especially in situations like these, it's crucial to remain calm and avoid jumping to conclusions.

The group of four then fell silent.

Lü Zhongxin and his two team members were all giving orders to Da Zhang.

After a moment, Yu Dazhang looked at his two team members and said:
"From now on, you two will work in pairs to track down Shen Fei. If you find any trace of him, bring him back immediately."

He wasn't worried at all about any unexpected situations that might arise during the arrest.

Two armed detectives are more than capable of catching a petty thug. If there are any special circumstances, they will naturally report them.

This time, he did not use the excuse of "assisting in the investigation" to arrest Shen Fei.

It is now almost certain that Shen Fei is a prime suspect in Wang Lingling's suicide case.

"receive."

"clear."

After agreeing, the two immediately got up and walked outside.

Lu Zhongxin stared intently at his apprentice, waiting for him to give him orders.

“Master, let’s be a team. Take me to find Wang Lingling’s roommate.”

Yu Dazhang pondered for a moment and said:

"You're right, they're not telling the truth, and they're very likely hiding something."

In his eyes, Wang Lingling's three roommates were utterly foolish.

There are obvious flaws and loopholes in their statements.

These three people had clearly conspired to divert attention from someone else while preventing the police from contacting that person.

This is simply a case of being overly clever.

However, they had clearly thought things through and were telling the truth, but they used a method of taking things out of context, making it difficult for people to discern the truth.

This kind of trick might fool ordinary people, but it seems childish and ridiculous in the eyes of a logically astute criminal police officer.

Eleven o'clock in the morning.

The master and his apprentice arrived at the front of a house.

The door was knocked open.

A middle-aged man opened the door.

"police."

After the two showed their identification, the other party politely invited them into the house.

“I came here yesterday, but you weren’t home then.”

Lu Zhongxin got straight to the point:

"This time we still want to talk to your daughter to find out more about the situation."

Before the middle-aged man could respond, the door to the inner room opened, and a girl who looked like a student peeked out.

When she saw that there were two people there, she said timidly:

"Didn't we already make things clear yesterday? I don't want to talk about her anymore."
