Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 564 What are you thinking, a fugitive?
The authorities are fascinated.

Cheng Wenhao thought his plan was flawless, but he overlooked the most crucial element: emotions.

He was only thinking about how to leave enough money for his parents so that they could live a stable life after he passed away.

But he forgot that for his mother, emotions were also paramount.

It's a bit too much to ask a mother to report her own son for money.

Cheng Wenhao was then escorted into a police car by officers from the brigade.

Yu Dazhang then led Lü Zhongxin and the others down to the cellar and symbolically inspected it.

He knew very well that Cheng Wenhao would not leave the money in the cellar, but the necessary procedures still had to be followed.

Back on the ground, Yu Dazhang approached the woman and asked with a serious expression:

"Did Cheng Wenhao tell you that he was going to leave you some money?"

The woman stood motionless, her eyes fixed on the pool of blood on the ground, her expression blank, as if she hadn't heard Yu Dazhang's words.

Yu Dazhang frowned and asked again:
Did he say he would leave you some money?

The woman continued staring at the blood on the ground, without turning her head, but her voice trembled slightly as she asked:

"how much is it?"

Why does this feel so awkward...? Yu Dazhang hesitated for a moment, then answered truthfully:

"It's probably around 300,000."

In reality, he didn't know exactly how much money Cheng Wenhao brought back, but it was definitely at least 300,000.

This amount is enough for an ordinary family to live on in their old age.

Upon hearing the number, the woman slowly turned her head, looked at Yu Dazhang, and asked:

"If I raise enough money, can you guarantee Xiao Hao's life?"

What kind of talk is this... Yu Dazhang never dreamed that Cheng Wenhao's mother would say such a thing.

It sounds like she's going to go bankrupt trying to raise 300,000 yuan to save her son's life.

The woman's words also indirectly answered Yu Dazhang's earlier question.

Cheng Wenhao didn't leave any money for his family!

"I can't guarantee that," Yu Dazhang shook his head.
"His final fate will be determined by the court in accordance with the law. All we can do is handle the case according to the law."

He knew very well what Cheng Wenhao's fate would be.

He was already sentenced to life imprisonment, but before he could be transferred out of the detention center, he escaped and then committed a family annihilation case.

These crimes combined are more than enough to warrant two death sentences.

Target practice is a certainty, without a doubt.

It's pointless to hire any lawyer; even the most famous lawyer in the country can only buy him some time.

Cheng Wenhao's fate can be summed up in three words: he's doomed.

On the way back, Yu Dazhang kept thinking about where the money had gone.

Cheng Wenhao must have hidden the money, but why didn't he leave it to his parents?

It was left for someone else?
probably not.

The main reason is that, apart from his parents, there is no one else he cares about.

Cheng Wenhao's social connections had already been thoroughly investigated by his colleagues in the Criminal Investigation Department.

He has neither children nor a partner.

He even murdered his only ex-girlfriend and her entire family.

The only people he could care about in this world were his parents.

He still left the money at home... Yu Dazhang concluded in his heart.

The method by which the money is left is still unknown.

Staring at the rapidly receding street scene outside the car window, Yu Dazhang began to let his mind wander, thinking of something else.

If Cheng Wenhao's mother reports the crime, will she be eligible for a reward?

of course can.

Regardless of the form of the reward, there is no explicit statement that informants who are close relatives cannot receive a reward.

Those who usually have clues are most likely relatives or friends. But in reality, they don't actually receive a reward.

Because there is another way to say it: surrender oneself.

Logically speaking, only when one reports oneself can it be considered a surrender.

In reality, parents who report their children are usually defined in this way, so they don't receive the reward.

If the false report is orchestrated by the criminal in collusion with his or her parents, it may also involve fraud.

Would Cheng Wenhao not have thought of this?

Yu Dazhang had indeed underestimated this person before, but he wouldn't now.

As a habitual offender, Cheng Wenhao must have known about this, so he knew very well that even if his mother did as he instructed, she would not receive the reward.

Why would he do that?

"If I were Cheng Wenhao..."

Yu Dazhang narrowed his eyes, imagining himself as the other person in his mind.

This will achieve two goals:

1. Acting.

This would convince the police officers in charge that the mother and son were not involved in the crime, thus preventing further investigation of the family members.

2. To test the waters.

Use this method to test whether your mother will give up the money to save you.

If the mother chooses to give up the money, then the 300,000 yuan left for the family will also be handed over by the mother.

In that case, all your efforts will have been in vain.

Therefore, this is the main reason why Cheng Wenhao did not leave money for his family.

Yu Dazhang suddenly remembered Cheng Wenhao asking his mother when he came out of the cellar, "Did you call the police?"

He already knew the outcome of the bounty, so he was watching his mother's reaction.

Yu Dazhang suddenly widened his eyes.

Cheng Wenhao is testing human nature!
If he really wanted to scam the reward, he could have had his mother call the police in front of him.

There's still a signal in that cellar.

He didn't do that because he wanted his mother to make the choice herself. His mother's final attitude would determine whether he would leave the money at home.

Given this, how can he keep the money?

Or rather, how can he get his parents to find out about the money?
"I understand..." Yu Dazhang's eyes lit up.

time!

Cheng Wenhao was confident that his parents would eventually discover where he hid the money, as time went on.

By then the case was closed, and no one would pursue the money any further.

"What's the point of thinking about a fugitive?"

Yu Dazhang muttered something in frustration, then pinched the bridge of his nose.

Cheng Wenhao was taken to the hospital for treatment, accompanied by members of the Criminal Investigation Division, while Yu Dazhang and his group of four returned to the Hongkou Branch Bureau.

Upon arriving at the first brigade, Yu Dazhang had barely sat down when drowsiness immediately overwhelmed him.

I've already made up my mind not to get caught up in the competition in this lifetime, so why am I staying up all night again?

He grumbled inwardly as he leaned back in his chair and dozed off. He didn't dare to lie on the table now, afraid that he would fall asleep and never wake up.

Seeing his apprentice so exhausted, Lü Zhongxin wanted to encourage him, but ultimately couldn't bring himself to do it.

From last night until now, the one who has been using his brain the most is definitely my apprentice.

All three fugitives were captured by him.

Although Lü Zhongxin had been following his apprentice closely, he still couldn't figure out how his apprentice had found the clues.

Seeing that Yu Dazhang's eyes were closed, Ma Jian and Liu Miao didn't disturb him. Instead, they pulled Lü Zhongxin into the corridor.

The three lit cigarettes and remained silent, creating an awkward atmosphere.

After taking a couple of puffs of his cigarette, Ma Jian looked at Lü Zhongxin and couldn't help but ask:
"Did you teach Yu Dazhang his crime-solving skills?"
