Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 558 It's dangerous to be too greedy.

After all, Cheng Wenhao was at fault first in this matter.

If he hadn't committed crimes, he wouldn't have been sentenced to prison.

It's understandable that the woman didn't wait for him, and Cheng Wenhao should be able to understand.

Even if you harbor some resentment towards the other party, you shouldn't have such deep hatred.

The fact that he didn't even spare the children shows just how deep Cheng Wenhao's hatred had become.

"This Yao Jing is far too greedy for money."

The captain's voice was deep:
"The trigger for this was that she took money that didn't belong to her."

"Before he met Yao Jing, Cheng Wenhao had been imprisoned several times, and those so-called big brothers had given him some money."

“He did not use the money for personal consumption, but gave it to his mother, totaling more than 30 yuan.”

At this point, his tone became more forceful:
"After Cheng Wenhao went to prison, Yao Jing swindled more than 30 yuan from his mother by claiming that she could get him out."

"After that, she used the money to improve herself and got to know many wealthy people, including her future husband."

That's really going too far... Yu Dazhang muttered to himself.

Yao Jing's actions have gone beyond the realm of materialism and can be definitively defined as fraud.

It's kind of ridiculous when you think about it.

A man who was frequently imprisoned and whose education was not even properly provided by prison was actually educated by a greedy woman.

One can imagine the shock and anger Cheng Wenhao felt when he learned of this news.

"After Cheng Wenhao was released from prison, he repeatedly asked Yao Jing for the 30 yuan."

The captain continued:
"But Yao Jing insisted that the money was used to build connections for him and said that she had no money on hand."

"The matter was dragged on until Cheng Wenhao was imprisoned again."

This is the cause.

This was also Cheng Wenhao's motive for murder.

Every cause has an effect.

Because of Yao Jing's greed, her entire family was wiped out.

When a person loses all hope for life, what he naturally wants to do most is to settle the karmic debts.

"That's really crazy..." Yu Dazhang couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

It seems reasonable that Yao Jing would be retaliated against for cheating Cheng Wenhao out of his money.

There's no need to kill the child too.

The fact that he could bring himself to do it shows that Cheng Wenhao is now in a killing frenzy.

"Are there any other people who have a grudge against Cheng Wenhao?" Yu Dazhang asked.

The Criminal Investigation Department has a lot of people, so it's easier to get things done, especially when it comes to investigating social relationships. They're very experienced in that area.

"It hasn't been discovered yet."

The captain replied:

“People like Cheng Wenhao have very complicated social relationships. Fighting and brawling are commonplace for him, and he will not develop hatred because of them.”

"None of the bosses he worked for wronged him, and those so-called big shots are now serving time in prison."

Finally, he said in a firm tone:
"Therefore, according to our analysis, Cheng Wenhao has no more grudges to settle."

"No grudge to avenge..." Yu Dazhang repeated these four words to himself.

Having avenged the wrongs, all that's left is to repay the kindness.

What is the greatest favor?
Is it a life-saving grace or a recognition of talent?
neither.

If gratitude were ranked, the first place would undoubtedly be the kindness of parents in raising and nurturing their children.

Especially when people are in dire straits, the people they will never forget are their loved ones.

Since it's about repaying a debt of gratitude, it can't just be a simple meeting.

Cheng Wenhao will definitely find a way to leave his parents some money for their retirement, so that he can rest assured.

only……

Where will the money come from?

To rob someone?
probably not.

If it were an ordinary person, they would most likely adopt this method.

Cheng Wenhao was a repeat offender, so he knew very well that these days, robbery simply wasn't enough to get him enough money. Even in 2015, electronic payments were widespread.

When people travel, their most valuable possession is their mobile phone, and it's also very difficult to sell stolen items.

Moreover, committing a robbery would immediately expose their whereabouts.

Since Cheng Wenhao was able to evade the city's surveillance network, he wouldn't be so foolish as to commit robbery on the street.

Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt its debtor...

Yao Jing swindled 30 yuan from his mother. Cheng Wenhao must have thought about getting that money back from her after his escape from prison.

Perhaps he wasn't actually aiming to wipe out the entire family, but simply wanted to reclaim the money meant for his parents' retirement.

When this hypothesis came to mind, Yu Dazhang felt that it was the most likely possibility.

If Cheng Wenhao really wanted to kill Yao Jing, he wouldn't have waited until today; he could have done it before going to prison.

"He'll go get the cash!"

Yu Dazhang immediately shouted into the phone:

"Go and retrieve the surveillance footage near the ATMs, and start searching outwards from the bank near Yao Jing's home."

The safest option is to leave cash at home; Cheng Wenhao would definitely think that way.

"it is good."

The captain on the other end of the phone agreed without even asking why.

After ending the call, Yu Dazhang went back upstairs.

This time, when he stood at the crime scene again, his perspective and thinking had completely changed.

The investigators previously gave the time of death for this family of three. Although there was some error, the order of death was correct.

The men in the family were attacked first, then Yao Jing, and finally the children.

On the surface, this order seems to be fine.

If given a choice, eliminating the person with the strongest resistance first would undoubtedly be the wisest course of action.

But what follows doesn't make much sense.

Yao Jing died a full half hour later than the man.

Given Cheng Wenhao's ruthlessness, it wouldn't have taken him this long to kill a woman.

What happened in those half hour?
Sadism?

Yu Dazhang recalled the scene in his mind when the body had not been moved.

Yao Jing's eyes were gouged out, and her death was gruesome, indeed resembling someone who had been tortured to death.

Here's a key point: looking at Cheng Wenhao's personal profile, although he's a habitual offender who frequently goes in and out of prison, he's not the kind of psychopathic killer.

He has the ability to kill, but he does not have a penchant for torture.

For such people, revenge is simply a matter of killing the other party, no matter how deep the hatred is; there's no need to go to such extremes.

But if the purpose is to extort money, then all of this makes sense.

Killing the man first was the first deterrent, letting Yao Jing know that he was capable of anything now.

Then, they used the child as leverage to force Yao Jing to hand over money.

Then she gouged out his eyes, plunging him into pain and darkness. At this point, Yao Jing had only one thought left: to save her child.

Therefore, she would fulfill all of Cheng Wenhao's demands, just to spare the child's life.

then……

Thinking of this, Yu Dazhang immediately came to his senses.

He looked at the officers from the brigade inside the room and asked:
Where is the deceased's cell phone?

The officer replied:
"It was taken back to the headquarters by the colleagues in charge of the on-site investigation as physical evidence."

The murder case has been classified as a revenge killing, and the killer has been basically identified, so the priority now is to apprehend Cheng Wenhao.

As a result, no one paid attention to the deceased's call records.

However, since the phone is important evidence, it will definitely be taken away for investigation.

Upon hearing that his phone had been taken away, Yu Dazhang immediately ordered the police officer:

"Quick, call them and tell them to send the phone back."
