Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 518 is pretty melodramatic.
It's said that a twenty-year-old girl is just right, having just shed her childishness and begun to blossom in her youth.

In Yu Dazhang's opinion, the girl in front of him had a more youthful feel compared to her peers.

There is a sense of untouched nature.

"Cooperating with the police in handling the case is your duty," Yu Dazhang said, deliberately keeping a straight face.

The girl's eyes were somewhat blank, clearly intimidated by Yu Dazhang's imposing manner.

After a slight hesitation, she nodded and then came out of the house.

Seeing that this tactic was effective, Yu Dazhang immediately had an idea.

Some people just can't be given a friendly look.

At this moment, the middle-aged man approached carrying two cups of water.

"Officer, have some water."

He greeted us warmly and placed the water glass on the table.

"No need to trouble yourself," Yu Dazhang said politely, then changed the subject:
"Could you excuse us for a moment? We'd like to speak with her privately about the case."

Although his tone was calm, it carried an undeniable firmness.

It may seem like it's being said to middle-aged men, but it's actually being done for girls as well.

"Okay, you two talk."

The middle-aged man readily agreed, and before leaving, he placed a pack of cigarettes on the table, along with a lighter.

Yu Dazhang glanced at it.

Soft-pack Zhonghua cigarettes.

He noticed from the moment he entered that this must be a middle-class family.

Judging from the location, size, and decoration of the house, it's clear that this family is financially well-off.

In Songhai, to be considered a middle-class family, one needs to own at least a house with an area of ​​over 100 square meters and no mortgage burden, which is usually worth between 5 million and 30 million yuan.

They must also have at least one million in savings or liquid funds, and their annual income must not be less than five hundred thousand.

Clearly, this family possesses these qualities.

Moreover, judging from the middle-aged man's demeanor, he clearly has a wealth of life experience and social skills.

"Come and sit."

Yu Dazhang waved to the girl:
"We're here to ask you a few questions."

The girl approached shyly and sat down obediently.

"Name?"

"Rao Qinyi".

"age?"

"Twenty."

"Profession?"

"No job."

"I'm asking about your school and major."

"Oh, Songhai University of Finance and Economics, Accounting."

Lu Zhongxin watched them ask and answer questions from the side, and couldn't help but frown.

This set of questions is a common method used when questioning suspects in the interrogation room.

It was clearly inappropriate to use it here, but he didn't stop it.

He knew his apprentice must have had a special purpose in doing this.

"Do you know why we're looking for you?" Yu Dazhang asked.

Upon hearing this, Lü Zhongxin immediately guessed what his apprentice was planning to do.

He wanted to draw the other person into an interrogation atmosphere.

Although the location is the girl's home, the atmosphere can be artificially altered.

Generally speaking, people feel safe and relaxed in familiar environments.

Yu Dazhang's goal was to shatter this sense of security and deprive her of her psychological support.

In addition, some psychological pressure should be applied to the girl during this process, so that she will feel nervous and uneasy without realizing it.

Only in this way can the girl be put at a psychological disadvantage, which will make it easier to conduct subsequent questioning.

"I know," Rao Qinyi replied softly.
"You've come to ask about Wang Lingling."

Very good... Yu Dazhang knew she was in the zone.

The fact that she only answers questions and doesn't ask them indicates that she has already started to follow her own train of thought.

"Tell me everything you know."

Yu Dazhang said with a cold face:
"Before I begin, I must warn you: if what you say is exactly the same as yesterday, I have reason to suspect that what you said was fabricated beforehand." "In that case, we'll have to find another place to talk."

As he spoke, he turned and glanced at Lü Zhongxin.

Rao Qinyi followed his gaze and looked over.

Lu Zhongxin unhooked the handcuffs from his waist, held them in his hand, and stared blankly at her.

Having worked as a criminal investigator for so many years, Lü Zhongxin has encountered almost every kind of criminal and possesses a naturally upright and righteous aura.

Anyone with a guilty conscience will inevitably feel uneasy under his gaze.

Since his apprentice wanted to exert pressure, he naturally had to cooperate and put on a show.

Sure enough, under the watchful eyes of the master and apprentice, Rao Qinyi panicked.

The girl stammered:
“I told the truth yesterday, really, I didn’t lie.”

Yu Dazhang remained silent, simply staring at her, waiting for her to continue.

"Okay, fine, I admit it, I hid some things yesterday."

Rao Qinyi glanced guiltily at the handcuffs in Lü Zhongxin's hand, then whispered:

“Wang Lingling’s debt is related to the three of us.”

"She had always insisted on a simple life, but she couldn't stand our constant talk about clothes and cosmetics. I guess after a while, she started to feel a sense of loss."

As she spoke, she would occasionally glance towards the bedroom out of the corner of her eye, as if afraid that the middle-aged man would hear her.

Yu Dazhang quickly noticed her subtle movements.

"Was that your father just now?"

Since she's afraid her family will hear, it means what she's doing is something shameful, which is normal human psychology.

Rao Qinyi nodded.

"I assure you, as long as you tell me everything, I promise to keep it a secret from your family."

Such a guarantee is meaningless.

If Rao Qinyi is indeed directly related to Wang Lingling's death, the master and apprentice will definitely take her back for investigation.

But the girl panicked at this moment. When she heard the word "secret," her eyes lit up, and she immediately said:

"I said it all."

Seemingly realizing that her voice was too loud, Rao Qinyi quickly covered her mouth, making a gesture typical of a young girl.

Then she leaned forward slightly, as if to share an important secret with the other person, and said in a low voice:

"Actually, Wang Lingling's debt was set up by someone."

"The person who designed her is named Sha Hui, one of our roommates. In fact, it's all Wang Lingling's fault."

At this point, a hint of helplessness crept into her voice:
"The boyfriend she was dating was the person Sha Hui had a crush on for a long time. She knew this, but she still got together with him. Who could stand that?"

It's actually pretty melodramatic... Yu Dazhang never expected there to be such a hidden story behind it.

The investigation, which was supposed to be about illegal online lending, has unexpectedly uncovered a love triangle.

It is both absurd and reasonable.

Crimes of passion are usually the number one motive for murder.

A local legal website once randomly selected 100 homicide cases for evaluation and found that 53.1% of the homicides were caused by emotional entanglements.

This has become the most common type of motive for murder.

This shows that people are easily irrational when faced with emotional entanglements.

At the same time, Yu Dazhang also noticed that the girl named Sha Hui was not simple.

There are many ways to take revenge, so why did she choose to use illegal online loans to trap Wang Lingling?

The answer is ready to come out.

She is very familiar with illegal online lending platforms.

It was precisely because of her familiarity with the area that she was confident she could successfully carry out her revenge plan.

"You came to find me because Wang Lingling called the police, right?"

Rao Qinyi looked completely innocent:

“This really has nothing to do with me. I didn’t tell you everything yesterday because Sha Hui told me not to talk about the debt.”

Looking at the girl in front of him, Yu Dazhang could tell from the change in her expression that she was telling the truth.

After a moment, he said helplessly:

"Wang Lingling is dead. She jumped off a building and committed suicide the night before last."

As soon as she finished speaking, Rao Qinyi stood up abruptly, staring at Yu Dazhang in horror:
"You... say it again!"
