I'm not a genius detective

Chapter 118 Losing Control and Confessing (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets)
Many people were watching the trial, including Han Ling.

The portrait is correct, the footprints are correct, and the reaction to the police is correct. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Yu Dahai is the murderer in this poisoning case.

The victim, Dai Bin, had no personal grudge against Yu Dahai. The latter only harbored murderous intent because of a fictional novel, and his behavior can be described as extremely heinous.

When dealing with such a person, there's no need to be soft-hearted; you must attack their weakest point.

Didn't you kill for your daughter? Okay, let's talk about your daughter until you break down and tell the truth.

Faced with Ji Bowei's assessment of a "huge gap," Yu Dahai stared intently at him, his voice turning cold: "Do you even know her? What gives you the right to say that about her?!"

Ji Bowei said calmly, "I don't know her, but I know you, I know Dai Bin, and I know Xiao Yu, the character Dai Bin created. She is a real person and a fictional character. I can't understand why you would come to Qingchang."

Now answer my question: Did you actually come to Qingchang? Four taxi drivers saw you; do I need to call them over to identify you?

Yu Dahai gritted his teeth slightly and replied, "I have been here. I have been to Qingchang and even took a taxi. So what? I don't know Dai Bin at all, and I certainly didn't kill him."

Ji Bowei: "Why did you lie?"

Yu Dahai retorted, "Is lying a crime? If you want to charge me with obstructing law enforcement, I'll accept it."

After all, he is a teacher with a high level of education, so it is not surprising that he has certain counter-surveillance capabilities. Although his daughter is dead and he has lost his greatest hope in life, it seems that he does not want to be arrested for murder.

He felt grief and despair, but not to the point of wanting to die. He wanted to live, he wanted to be free.

The interrogation was ongoing and lasted for nearly two hours.

Yu Dahai admitted to having been to Qingchang, but denied having met Dai Bin, and denied committing murder.

Lacking surveillance footage, fingerprints, and DNA, it is currently impossible to prove that Yu Dahai visited the rented room in the urban village.

The suspect is here, but the case is still far from closed; we need to wait for the investigation results from Yifeng.

After preparing for so long, there might be clues and evidence left in Yu Dahai's house, so it wasn't completely cleaned up.

Upon receiving the news, Yin Yunliang arrived, accompanied by two members of the provincial inspection and guidance team. He pushed open the door to the observation room, first sized up Yu Dahai, and then began to ponder.

Yin Yunliang was not surprised that the murderer was found through profiling. He had succeeded many times in his career and could judge the accuracy of profiling based on past experience and case details.

He was quite confident; otherwise, he wouldn't have allowed the Gu'an branch's special task force to conduct the investigation.

Profiles that you are unsure about are for reference only, while profiles that you are confident about can serve as a direction.

"Han Ling, where do you think we can find a breakthrough?" Five minutes later, Yin Yunliang's voice rang out. "The search in Yifeng is not over yet. If we can't find any evidence to make him confess, how can we get him to talk?"

The tone was more like a teacher asking students questions in class.

Fang Zhou and Tong Feng were also in the observation room, their eyes fixed on Han Ling as they waited for his reply while they themselves pondered.

Opportunities to attend Yin Yunliang's hands-on practical training sessions face-to-face are rare.

Han Ling said, "His daughter, Yu Youyi, is the key, that much is certain. But Captain Ji and Captain Hu have already gone too far in trying to undermine him. Yet Yu Dahai ultimately held back and managed to control his emotions."

Upon hearing this, Yin Yunliang corrected him: "Are you sure? You're a bit too quick to be sure. His daughter isn't the key point; the key point is himself."

Upon closer inspection, Yu Dahai's current state is problematic; it's not what I expected.

Han Ling turned her head, shifting her gaze from Yin Yunliang to Yu Dahai, waiting for what would happen next.

The others in the observation room also listened intently.

Yin Yunliang continued, "You must remember that in a murder trial, no matter why the suspect committed the murder, it was always their own doing. You must look beyond the surface to find the suspect's true motive."

Why did Yu Dahai kill Dai Bin?

Han Ling thought for a moment and replied, "To avenge Xiao Yu is also to avenge my daughter. He can't accept Xiao Yu's death, but in reality, he can't accept his daughter's death."

Yin Yunliang: "Yu Youyi committed suicide, and Xiao Yu also committed suicide. Even if Yu Dahai considers Xiao Yu and Yu Youyi to be the same person, none of this has anything to do with Dai Bin."

Think again, why did he kill Dai Bin in the first place?

Han Ling fell silent for a long time before nodding, "I understand, teacher. I'll give it a try."

After saying that, he turned and left the observation room, heading towards the interrogation room.

Upon noticing someone open the door, Ji Bowen and Hu Lihui turned around and, upon seeing Han Ling, looked at her with questioning eyes.

Han Ling walked over, bent down and said something, and then Ji Bowei stood up and gave up his seat.

The interrogator was replaced.

"Hey! Can I have a cigarette?" Yu Dahai called out.

Sitting in the interrogation room for long periods of time, his condition was gradually deteriorating. As a smoker, he needed the comfort of nicotine.

"No rush." ​​Han Ling took out a cigarette case and placed it on the table. "Let's talk." Seeing that the police officer in charge of the interrogation had been replaced by a young man, Yu Dahai frowned: "Do you have any evidence? If you don't have any evidence, can you let me go first? I won't leave Qingchang."

Han Ling said the first thing: "You're not doing this to avenge Xiao Yu, nor to avenge your daughter Yu Youyi, you're doing it to avenge yourself."

Yu Dahai was taken aback and looked at him, puzzled.

Han Ling continued: "Dai Bin's death made you think you had avenged your daughter, deceiving yourself and venting all your inner resentment."

You are subjectively taking your place. You originally blamed yourself for your daughter's death, but after the fictional Xiao Yu died, you started blaming Dai Bin. This way, you can alleviate your self-blame and guilt.

Yu Dahai, your mind has become so disturbed that it's almost abnormal.

These words surprised Ji Bowei and Hu Lihui. After glancing at Han Ling, they went to observe Yu Dahai's reaction.

Sure enough, Yu Dahai broke down, his emotions shifting dramatically from before, and he angrily shouted, "What did you say to me, you little brat?!"

Han Ling chuckled: "You're not so old that you're hard of hearing, are you? Starting in middle school, Yu Youyi gradually lost control, spending a lot of time hanging out with young people in the community, smoking, drinking, getting tattoos, and frequently going to internet cafes, bars, and nightclubs. By the time you wanted to control her, it was already too late."

You can only watch helplessly as Yu Youyi rebels to the extreme, powerless to change her.

For a time, did you think that everything would stop when your daughter grew up and matured? Reality is cruel; she became increasingly crazy, and wasn't there a reason for that—to take revenge on you?
She hasn't experienced maternal love in a very, very long time. When she sees mothers and daughters holding hands happily and smiling on the street, does she feel resentment towards you?

Yu Dahai tried to stand up: "Shut up!!"

Wow!

He was bound by handcuffs, the metallic clang echoing through the interrogation room.

"Don't move!" Two police officers stepped forward and pressed him back down.

The effect was obvious. Ji Bowei and Hu Lihui were looking forward to it, and Yin Yunliang in the observation room also nodded in satisfaction.

“You understand all of this.” Han Ling ignored Yu Dahai’s loss of control and said calmly, “Divorce is a mistake on your part as a couple. Strictly speaking, it is your mistake for Youyi. That’s one point.”

Secondly, your long-term neglect of Yu Youyi's upbringing after the divorce and failure to notice her psychological changes during adolescence are also consequences of your mistakes.

Thirdly, Yu Youyi dropped out of school and completely let herself go. You failed to bring her back, which ultimately led to her contracting HIV. This was also a result of your mistakes.

Fourth, after Yu Youyi was infected with HIV, you failed to accompany her and give her new hope with your fatherly love, which is still a result of your mistakes.

In short, Yu Youyi's life was full of mistakes, and the one who started it all is you: Father.

You are not a qualified father at all. You bear the main responsibility for Yu Youyi's suicide. You can't accept it, so you inexplicably shift the responsibility to Dai Bin, who has no connection with you, and use someone else's life to vent all your evil thoughts.

Yu Dahai, no matter what you do, you can't change one fact: Yu Youyi didn't commit suicide; you're the one who killed her.

Exaggerated interrogation terminology is Han Ling's strategy at this moment, directly targeting Da Hai's most vulnerable points.

First, get a statement.

Once we get a confession, things will be much easier, and securing evidence will be much simpler.

"It wasn't me! It was Dai Bin! He killed Youyi!" Yu Dahai pounded the interrogation chair frantically, his surging emotions making him lose all sense of pain. "He killed Youyi! I avenged Youyi! As her father, I had to avenge her!"

He seems to have lost the ability to distinguish between falsehood and reality.

He only wrote the death of a character similar to Yu Youyi, but it brought him a fatal disaster. Dai Bin was really unlucky. You can't even imagine how crazy a madman can be, let alone understand the thought process of a madman.

From a dialectical perspective, the fact that Yu Dahai has become the way he is now shows that his fatherly love for Yu Youyi is indeed very deep, and this is undeniable.

However, if Dai Bin had directly or indirectly caused Yu Youyi's death, it would be understandable that he was avenging his daughter. But the truth is... the two had no connection and were unaware of each other's existence.

The motive for this case is truly bizarre; it involves all sorts of people.

Seeing that Dahai confessed due to losing control, Ji Bowei and Dahai looked at each other and felt the devastating power of criminal psychology.

The more paranoid a person is, the more psychologically problematic they are, the greater their destructive power. However, they are less effective against ordinary criminals.

This is why criminal psychology experts are invited to serve as consultants in long-standing unsolved serial murder cases.

Han Ling picked up the cigarette case, took out a cigarette, but didn't light it.

Looking at Yu Dahai again, he calmed down and realized what he had just said. He slowly lowered his head and closed his eyes. When he looked up again, his eyes were filled with strangeness and indifference when he looked at Han Ling.

"You really are... haha." With a bitter laugh, Yu Dahai raised his hand. "Could I have a cigarette this time?"

Han Ling stood up and went to Yu Dahai, put a cigarette in his mouth and lit it for him.

After taking a deep breath, Yu Dahai leaned back in the interrogation chair and said slowly, "So... that's really what I thought?"
