Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 705 He was too cooperative.

It is through these contrasting questions that one can truly test a person's reaction.

Indeed, Yu Dazhang was still wary of Zhou Jiacheng.

Although he didn't think the college student was a cunning person, he couldn't rule out the possibility that he was a gifted performing artist.

Just like Zhang Sen, in certain specific situations, Zhang Sen can really make fakes indistinguishable from real ones.

"I do not know."

Zhou Jiacheng shook his head, looking bewildered.

"The last time I saw him was at a restaurant outside the school, and the time before that was at the hotel where he was staying."

"Although he never said it, I know he doesn't have a home in Nanjing, so he doesn't have a fixed address."

He paused for a moment, as if recalling something, then slowly said:
“I never ask about him. When my mother was alive, she often told me not to ask about anything related to Uncle Zhang.”

At this point, his tone became slightly lower:
“I remember it very clearly. After my mother passed away, Uncle Zhang asked me if I would like to go with him to another place to start a new life…”

Zhou Jiacheng suddenly stopped and lowered his head.

Now, Yu Dazhang was even more curious.

He had never understood why Zhang Jiangke, who had always been concerned about his biological son, would still let Zhou Jiacheng go to a children's welfare home.

Yu Dazhang could understand why Zhou Jinyan's parents didn't accept the child.

After all, the elderly couple had firmly opposed Zhou Jinyan giving birth to this child, and they must have been well aware of the child's unknown origins.

In the minds of the older generation, this situation is often considered shameful, and given their deep hatred for human traffickers, it is only natural that they would not acknowledge the child.

Now I understand. It turns out that Zhang Jiangke had previously considered taking his biological son, Zhou Jiacheng, away, and had even consulted the child's opinion.

I just don't know why it was dropped later.

Seeing that Zhou Jiacheng kept his head down and didn't say anything, Yu Dazhang didn't urge him, but just sat quietly opposite him and watched him.

A moment later, Zhou Jiacheng's shoulders trembled slightly, then he slowly raised his head and looked at Yu Dazhang with reddened eyes.

“I refused. I want to stay with my mother. If I leave, there will be no one to sweep her grave.”

When he spoke again, his voice had become choked with emotion:
"I want to be with her. Since I couldn't fulfill my filial duties while she was alive, I can't let her wait for me alone in the cemetery after she passes away."

“She has all her heart in me. If I don’t visit her for a long time, she will definitely miss me.”

Why are you bringing up feudal superstition again... Yu Dazhang pinched his brow in annoyance.

Regardless, the fact that Zhou Jiacheng has this filial piety shows that he is not a bad person at heart.

Zhou Jinyan didn't tell him about her father, probably because she didn't want him to be implicated.

Zhang Jiangke must have the same thought; he didn't want to implicate his only son because of the mess he made.

So after Zhou Jiacheng refused, he did not insist any further.

"What did he talk about when he saw you last time?" Yu Dazhang asked again.

He always felt that Zhang Jiangke wouldn't just leave like that.

Zhou Jiacheng was his only biological son, and this departure could very well be his last. Moreover, at his age, he had no other hope but this son.

From any perspective, Zhang Jiangke should have visited Zhou Jiacheng before leaving.

Also, last time he only left behind a new mobile phone and 10,000 yuan.

For Zhou Jiacheng, this was barely enough to cover his tuition fees.

Therefore, Zhang Jiangke will definitely leave Zhou Jiacheng a sum of money before he leaves, and this money will definitely be left in cash.

Because once he is targeted by the police, all his funds will be considered stolen money.

"Nothing special was said."

Zhou Jiacheng thought for a moment, then replied:
"He just told me to take care of my health and said that if I had any difficulties, I could leave him a message and talk to him about any problems."

A message? Yu Dazhang's eyes lit up. That meant Zhou Jiacheng could contact Zhang Jiangke!
"How do I leave a message?" Yu Dazhang asked hurriedly.

Is it a text message or a messaging app?

Regardless of the method, Zhang Jiangke's location information can be traced through technical means.

In the current situation, this is a crucial clue.

"neither."

Zhou Jiacheng shook his head, then took out his phone, skillfully fiddled with it a few times, and then faced the screen directly at Da Zhang, saying:
"He gave me an email address and told me to email him if I needed anything."

That's quite a clever trick... Yu Dazhang never expected Zhang Jiangke to have this side to him.

Since email is not a real-time online communication software, it can only track the last login time and IP address.

After noting down the email address, Yu Dazhang asked:

How can he be sure it was you who sent the email?

“My email address is my QQ number.” Zhou Jiacheng fiddled with his phone a few more times, opened his QQ email, and then handed the screen to Yu Dazhang:
"When he left me his email address last time, he also noted down my QQ number."

Yu Dazhang looked at his email and found that both the inbox and the sent items box were empty, which showed that he never used email to send messages.

That makes sense. Nowadays, WeChat and QQ are very convenient, especially for young people who prefer to use instant messaging software to communicate.

"That's it for today."

Yu Dazhang stood up, looked at Zhou Jiacheng, and said:
"We will come again if needed."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Jiacheng also stood up. He stared at Yu Dazhang and asked curiously:
"Should I send Uncle Zhang an email?"

His meaning was clear: he wanted to cooperate with the police to contact Zhang Jiangke.

Judging from his tone and expression, he clearly already knew why the police had come to find him.

"Being not."

Yu Dazhang smiled at him:

"Your Uncle Zhang isn't in the mood to check emails right now."

After he finished speaking, he walked out, with Captain Xu following behind him.

From beginning to end, Captain Xu didn't say a word; he just held a pen and paper and took notes on the side.

As he reached the door, Yu Dazhang seemed to remember something and suddenly stopped.

After hesitating for a moment, he turned around, looked at Zhou Jiacheng, and asked:

Aren't you curious about what happened to your Uncle Zhang?

He was too cooperative... Yu Dazhang even felt that he was deliberately catering to the police investigation.

In the end, he even took the initiative to send an email to Zhang Jiangke.

If Zhou Jiacheng and Zhang Jiangke had feelings for each other, how could they possibly cooperate to this extent?

"Not curious."

Zhou Jiacheng answered with a serious expression:

“My mother always told me from a young age not to ask anything about Uncle Zhang.”

"Moreover, the most practical survival skill I learned during my time in the orphanage was not to be curious about other people's affairs."

There was a flaw... This was the first time Yu Dazhang had seen a trace of lying on Zhou Jiacheng's face.

He slowly turned around and walked back into the house. When he faced Zhou Jiacheng again, his expression turned cold.

"You lied."

A hint of disappointment crept into Yu Dazhang's voice:
"You're not that you're not curious, you've already guessed it."
