Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 754 Only Met Once

Yu Dazhang said this from the bottom of his heart.

The moment he locked eyes with Gu Dingwen at the villa, he knew that the man had lost all hope.

When dealing with someone like this, conventional methods are unlikely to work if you want him to honestly confess what he knows.

Therefore, it is necessary to hire professionals.

Why are those who interfere in interrogations so successful during interrogations?

Because they specialize in studying humans.

Long-term interrogation experience enables pre-trial investigators to quickly identify the suspect's psychological state.

To put it simply, can a doctor who has performed tens of thousands of surgeries compare to the experience of a novice doctor?
To put it simply, it's about accumulating experience.

When it comes to on-site investigation, Yu Dazhang is definitely no match for Qian Cheng.

Even when it comes to reconstructing the suspect's appearance, he can't compare to Xia Bin.

Similarly, in terms of interrogation skills, he was naturally no match for these pre-trial investigators.

"Actually, it's not difficult at all."

The older police officer said with a smile:

"As long as you find the right method, you can apply pressure precisely."

He then explained:
"This person seems to have a lot of experience, but his background is not complicated. Compared with those with personality disorders, he is already considered easy to overcome."

Yu Dazhang noticed that when he mentioned "personality disorder," his eyes seemed to light up, and his expression was as if he had seen some treasure.

"It's normal to become a bit neurotic after working in the pre-trial department for so long..." Yu Dazhang thought to himself.

What is a personality disorder?

Simply put, it means a person is out of place with their surroundings, exhibiting traits such as paranoia, split personality, and impulsivity.

Imagine how challenging it would be to interrogate someone like that.

Gu Dingwen is clearly not quite the same as someone with a personality disorder.

"By the way, I just pried him open his mouth, which is equivalent to unlocking his heart."

The police officer reminded Da Zhang:
"Because I don't know much about your case, I didn't ask any further questions. But you can rest assured that he will no longer be resistant."

Yu Dazhang really couldn't figure out how to help someone who was heartbroken to the end.

In his view, it was his colleagues in the preliminary investigation who gave Gu Dingwen work.

He wasn't interested in knowing the specifics of how it was done.

As the saying goes, everyone has their own area of ​​expertise.

It is impossible for one person to master all the skills in the world; it is already remarkable to be proficient in just one.

After thanking them again, Yu Dazhang and Captain Xu entered the interrogation room.

After taking his seat, he looked at Gu Dingwen across from him.

The man, nearing 60, had a weathered face, and his eyes lacked sparkle, showing only turbidity and weariness.

At this moment, he was scrutinizing Yu Dazhang and Captain Xu with his cloudy, dull eyes.

"Name?"

Yu Dazhang asked the question as usual.

Gu Dingwen sat motionless in the interrogation chair, staring straight at Yu Dazhang without any change in expression or response.

"Name?" he repeated.

This time, Yu Dazhang's tone was slightly more forceful, as if he was emphasizing the importance of the issue.

This is not only to confirm identity information, but also a preliminary cooperation test to determine whether the other party has any resistance.

Gu Dingwen remained silent, as if he had not heard his question.

Was the officer in the preliminary hearing exaggerating?
Is this what they mean by opening up one's heart?

Yu Dazhang even felt that Gu Dingwen across from him seemed to have gone mad, sitting there stiffly like a puppet.

"I'm asking you one last time. If you don't answer, I'll replace you with your previous colleague."

Yu Dazhang gradually lost patience and asked again:
"Name?"

There was still no answer, and Gu Dingwen didn't utter a single word from beginning to end. "Goodbye."

Yu Dazhang's patience ran out, and he stood up and walked out without looking back.

Team Leader Xu also stood up and left with him.

"wait wait wait."

Gu Dingwen spoke, and his voice sounded somewhat urgent:
"I'll confess, I'll tell you everything, don't go."

"If you had done this earlier, it would have been fine. I thought you were so tough..." Yu Dazhang and Captain Xu sat back down.

"Name?"

"Gu Dingwen."

"age?"

"56 is old."

"..."

After asking for basic information, Yu Dazhang changed the subject:
"What happened to you just now?"

"I was a little distracted." Gu Dingwen gradually recovered from his stiff state. He lowered his head and rubbed his temples with his handcuffed hands.
"Those two police officers were conducting preliminary interrogations, right? I'd only heard of them before, but I never thought I'd actually witness it firsthand."

His voice was a little hoarse when he spoke. Although he had recovered, his complexion looked ashen, as if he had just gone through a serious illness.

It has a strong aftereffect... Yu Dazhang doesn't care what Gu Dingwen went through, as long as he speaks.

"Tell me about your accomplices first."

Yu Dazhang stared at him and said:
"As far as we know, your financial situation is not sufficient to commit such a major crime. There must be someone behind you providing financial support. Tell me about that person, the more details the better."

His way of asking questions was a bit hasty.

Interrogation should be conducted in a step-by-step manner to more accurately determine whether the other party is lying.

But Yu Dazhang couldn't wait any longer.

The other side likely already knows that Gu Dingwen has been captured. In this situation, it is natural to act quickly and decisively, without giving the other side a chance to react.

"I don't know who he is, I don't even know his name."

Gu Dingwen remained calm:
“We always use QQ voice calls. Sometimes we only leave a message on QQ if we can’t reach each other.”

As expected, it wasn't that easy... Yu Dazhang was somewhat disappointed after hearing this.

He knew the other party was cunning, but he didn't expect them to be this cunning—they didn't even know his personal information, let alone his partner, Gu Dingwen.

Just as he was about to change the subject, Gu Dingwen said something else:
“I’ve only met him once, last April. He came to see me, and we had a meal at a restaurant in Australia.”

Yu Dazhang's eyes lit up instantly when he heard that they had met before.

That would be easy.

As long as Gu Dingwen can recall the other person's physical features, they can use big data to find the other person's identity information.

Even if he doesn't remember clearly, it doesn't matter; Ye Zhiyu can help him recall through hypnosis.

As long as Ye Zhiyu and Xia Bin are there, there is no one who cannot be restored.

"Do you remember what the other person looked like?" Yu Dazhang asked.

"I remember," Gu Dingwen nodded and replied.

"I don't remember it very clearly. After all, it's been a year, and my memory is already declining at my age, so I can only recall the general outline now."

That's enough... Yu Dazhang didn't expect him to have a photographic memory anyway.

Just as Gu Dingwen said, as a man who is nearly 60 years old, his memory is certainly not comparable to that of a young person.

"wait for me."

As Yu Dazhang spoke, he looked up at the camera in the interrogation room, then got up and walked out.

Team Leader Xu understood and followed him away.

Once outside, two officers from the special task force quickly jogged over from the observation room.

"Captain Xu, you don't need to accompany me on the interrogation."

Yu Dazhang said in a commanding tone:
"Contact Xia Bin immediately and tell him to come here as quickly as possible."
