Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 755 I've never felt so good
Xia Bin did not come with the task force at the time because there was no immediate need for him.

Moreover, S Province only has one precious talent, and many cases in the province require him to create a portrait.

Doesn't Songhai have any criminal investigation sketch artists?
Yes, there are quite a few, but none of them can reach Xia Bin's amazing level.

This profession requires a lot of talent; hard work alone is far from enough.

If it were a normal case, Yu Dazhang would have just found any portrait artist in the area. But this case was extraordinary, and could even be described as extremely difficult.

Moreover, we have now reached a critical stage, and there can be absolutely no mistakes.

"I'll contact them right away." After agreeing, Captain Xu took out his phone and walked to the side.

Yu Dazhang then called Ye Zhiyu and asked him to come to the detention center.

After making the arrangements, he and another officer re-entered the interrogation room.

After taking his seat, Yu Dazhang looked at the person opposite him and said:

"Our portrait artist will create a portrait of the other person based on your description. We hope you can cooperate."

"No problem," Gu Dingwen replied.
"I will tell you the truth as long as I can remember it."

His facial expression showed no hesitation or doubt, as if he had been prepared for a long time.

"If you are willing to cooperate and actively help us solve the case, I can promise to give you some assistance."

Yu Dazhang said with a serious expression:

"Of course, you can make requests as well. As long as they are within my capabilities, I will try my best to meet them."

Attitude is a two-way street. If you only use force, it can easily cause the other party to develop a rebellious mentality, which is not conducive to interrogation.

Although Yu Dazhang was not as professional as his colleagues in the preliminary investigation in terms of interrogation skills, he also knew that maintaining a certain level of relaxation during the interrogation process was very important.

Giving suspects a glimmer of hope can help lower their psychological defenses to the greatest extent possible.

"Can I still make demands?"

Gu Dingwen looked at the opposite side in disbelief.

“Of course.” Yu Dazhang nodded and added:

"But the prerequisite is that you actively cooperate in solving the case."

This reward-like approach is the easiest way to motivate people.

After receiving an affirmative answer, Gu Dingwen pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke:

“I want to see my family. They are all overseas and cannot come to see me, so I hope to have a video call with them. It doesn’t need to be too long, about ten minutes will be enough.”

He paused for a moment, then continued:

"Also, I would like to have an easier time in the detention center and try not to be placed in an overcrowded cell."

"As for the others..."

Finally, he shook his head:

"These are the only two requests I can think of for now."

The first request was not easy to fulfill... Yu Dazhang was a little troubled after hearing it.

He certainly won't agree to such a request until the case is closed.

No one can guarantee that Gu Dingwen will not transmit information to the outside world through video calls, which is absolutely not allowed during the investigation of a case.

In contrast, the second requirement is much simpler; all you need to do is make a call to the detention center.

Moreover, matters like making a greeting don't require Da Zhang to handle personally; communication between departments definitely requires the leader to step in.

"I can agree to your request to change cells, and we'll do it today."

Yu Dazhang said in a deep voice:
"As for your video call with your family, that will be a little more complicated, but I can promise you that as long as you cooperate actively, I will definitely fulfill your request after the case is solved."

That was all the reply he could give.

Because it's definitely not possible for Gu Dingwen to meet with his family right now, and video calls are also not allowed.

"can."

Gu Dingwen didn't seem to mind and replied in a relaxed tone, "I believe you. Since you've agreed, this is our promise."

He wasn't pretentious at all... Yu Dazhang found that Gu Dingwen wasn't as difficult to deal with as he had imagined. On the contrary, he felt that this person was very insightful.

He has that scholarly air that is unique to cultured people.

Well, in two words: reason.

The more someone is like this, the easier it is to communicate with them, but there is a prerequisite: you cannot deviate from their cognitive direction.

Yu Dazhang hesitated for a moment, but decided to ask a crucial question first.

"Yan Yuting's family of seven, plus her sister-in-law's family, both families are dead. Did you know about this?"

His question was relatively friendly.

Asking directly, "Did you do it?" could be seen as implicating someone, and it could also easily offend the other person.

"of course I know."

Gu Dingwen answered decisively, without the slightest hesitation:

"Not only do I know, but I've also seen the video footage of their deaths."

When he mentioned this, an indescribable sense of satisfaction appeared on his face.

It was a deep sense of satisfaction, as if his emotions, which had been suppressed for many years, had finally been released.

His expression even reminded one of someone who had been wronged for many years and had finally gotten their revenge.

"If I had to pick the happiest moment of my life, it would definitely be when I saw their final video."

Gu Dingwen narrowed his eyes slightly, as if recalling that scene:
"I witnessed their deaths firsthand, and that feeling..."

He paused for a moment, as if searching for the right word to describe it.

After a moment, he continued:
"It feels so good, really good. It feels like I ended their lives with my own hands. I've never felt so good before."

In the end, Gu Dingwen actually laughed.

But that smile was unsettling, tinged with coldness and madness, as if he had lost his mind and was completely immersed in his own distorted world.

Yu Dazhang realized that Gu Dingwen hadn't killed those two families himself, but that they were related to him.

"Their deaths were not accidents?"

This is a potentially fatal question; if you answer it wrong, you could be mistaken for the murderer.

Yu Dazhang could only ask this question, because the deaths of those two families had already been classified as accidental.

Therefore, only by first rejecting what has already been determined can we seek the truth elsewhere.

"It was an accident."

Gu Dingwen, however, gave an affirmative answer:

"It's just that some accidents don't happen randomly."

That was a clever answer... Yu Dazhang could understand what he was trying to say.

To expand on Gu Dingwen's words, the general idea is that some accidents can also be man-made.

Just as Da Zhang was pondering how to continue his questions, Gu Dingwen suddenly spoke up and asked:
"By the way, do you believe in cause and effect?"

"I believe you," Yu Dazhang replied directly.

"Nothing is accidental, but rather a necessity with a certain causal relationship; that is, every result has a specific cause."

He further explained:

"Simply put, you reap what you sow. You get what you sow."

Yu Dazhang's answer was actually following Gu Dingwen's line of thought.

Interrogation is not about arguing; appropriately incorporating topics that interest the suspect can yield unexpected results.

Sure enough, Gu Dingwen nodded in satisfaction after hearing this answer:
"That's right, that's exactly it. They are getting this kind of retribution because they did something immoral."
