Dark Light Chaser.

Chapter 193 USB Disk

"Huff... Hah huff..."

Panting, Jin Ping'an followed the road signs and arrived at the entrance to the hotel's underground parking lot.

The messenger was leaning against a lamppost at the entrance to the parking lot.

He leaned there quietly, like a statue.

Jin Ping'an asked breathlessly, "What...what do you want with me..."

Jin Ping'an is a person who is very good at self-regulation; to put it bluntly, he has an overly eccentric personality.

Just minutes before, he was so angry with Hu Yingshao that he wanted to pin the old man to the ground and beat him.

Now, facing the messenger, he put on a silly grin, completely forgetting his previous unpleasantness.

"Take it."

The messenger tossed something the size of a thumb toward Jin Ping'an.

"Waaah! Can't you just hand it to me directly?!"

Jin Ping'an frantically tried to catch the object thrown at him, looking like a clown standing on a bouncing ball, which was incredibly comical.

He looked at the small object in his palm: "This is... a USB flash drive?"

"This is the USB drive that Wang Sheng copied."

The messenger nodded and said, "I have already decrypted it."

"Oh, so that's what it is... But we've already gotten all the videos from Tao Jun, so this USB drive is pretty much useless now."

Jin Ping'an had a long face, clearly annoyed that the messenger had called him to the parking lot over such a trivial matter.

They were waiting to interrogate Hu Yingshao.

From the moment the two met, every message the messenger delivered to Jin Ping'an contained crucial clues.

So every time he received a message from the messenger, he would rush over immediately, full of anticipation.

However, this time the information was outdated, and it's normal to feel dissatisfied given the huge gap between expectations and reality.

The messenger said with a look of disdain, "Your logical thinking ability is as bad as ever."

"What do you mean?"

The messenger's look at him like he was an idiot reminded Jin Ping'an of the days when they investigated cases together.

"You'll understand when the time comes."

The messenger was too lazy to explain to Jin Ping'an, since the contents of the USB drive wouldn't expire and could be used anytime.

Instead of telling Jin Ping'an the contents of the USB drive and then wasting time explaining the reasons behind it, it's better to...

It's better to let him think for himself.

A person who always waits for others to explain things to them, instead of thinking for themselves, will never grow in their lifetime.

The messenger said nothing more, walked straight into the parking lot, and drove away through another exit.

After failing to get any answers from his inquiries, Jin Ping'an returned to Tian Hao's car.

…………

Tian Hao and Shi Hongfang were still in charge of the interrogation. Gao Bin declined Shi Hongfang's invitation and simply observed from the outside.

The atmosphere in the interrogation room was different this time.

The person being interrogated was Hu Yingshao, the mastermind behind the kidnapping.

All the major cases recently may come to a close with this trial.

Before the interrogation officially began, Tian Hao and Shi Hongfang silently organized the documents in their hands.

They attempted to put pressure on Hu Yingshao by creating this heavy atmosphere.

But this old man, after all, had eaten more than twenty years more food than the two of them.

Even with her hands cuffed, she wasn't nervous at all, nor was she worried about what kind of questioning she would face. She just smiled and watched the two of them organize the documents.

pat.

In the silent interrogation room, the sound of a notebook being opened could be heard.

"Wang Youcai and Tao Jun said during interrogation that you were the mastermind behind the kidnapping. Do you deny this?"

Shi Hongfang spoke first.

“I did not do those things; these are all slanders.”

Hu Yingshao denied the accusations made by Wang Youcai and Tao Jun.

He believed that the police could not produce any direct evidence to prove that he had been involved in the kidnapping.

As everyone expected, Hu Yingshao denied everything no matter what the two asked.

"What on earth is Lao Tian doing?! Why doesn't he just produce the evidence?"

Jin Ping'an, standing outside the door, felt extremely anxious as he watched Hu Yingshao repeatedly deny the accusations.

"Don't rush. Nobody reveals their hand right away. Have you ever seen someone play a royal flush in Dou Dizhu?"

Jiang Kaiji acted as an interpreter outside: "They did this just to get Hu Yingshao to deny more crimes, so that they could deliver a fatal blow by showing him the handwritten calligraphy and paintings with the victim's DNA."

"uncertain."

Cheng Lejia, who usually remained silent in the face of such matters, suddenly shook his head.

He looked at Hu Yingshao through the glass: "When he wrote that calligraphy for Uncle Tian, ​​he used the pen that Wang Youde handed him, right?"

In that case, he could easily use the excuse that he was unaware of the deception and that Wang Youde deliberately handed him the tampered pen in order to frame him.

After all, the DNA detected on that calligraphy belonged to victims in Wang Youcai's detention center, not to the deceased.

Cheng Lejia's words woke Jiang Kaiji and the others from their blind optimism.

"If, I mean if, Hu Yingshao had anticipated that Wang Youcai would use this method to frame him, so after he had abused those victims, he deliberately sent them to Wang Youcai's club."

Just like Wang Youcai, who deliberately arranged for Wang Youde to serve Hu Yingshao…

Cheng Lejia's words sent chills down the spines of everyone present.

Yes, what if everything turns out exactly as Hu Yingshao predicted?

Just like before, he used surrendering himself as a strategic retreat to deliberately delay the police's progress.

Could the contingency plan left by Wang Youcai also be a flaw deliberately left by Hu Yingshao?

People will not cherish something if they get it too easily.

Hu Yingshao was on high alert at every turn, just to give Wang Youcai the illusion that he had already broken through his defenses.
Thinking of this possibility, when Jiang Kaiji looked at Hu Yingshao in the interrogation room again, a chill slowly crept up his back.

If this assumption holds true, just how deep must this old fox's cunning be?
Can a person really reach such a level of perfect planning?

Hu Yingshao's planning and strategy were not like those of others, which were simply nested within each other.

He not only created nested dolls, but he also predicted others' predictions of his predictions.

The schemes of a cunning person are like stockings.

Once a hole is torn, no matter how small it is.

The police were able to gradually expand the investigation, eventually tearing away the fog and revealing the full picture of the incident.

Hu Yingshao, on the other hand, would break down a major event into countless smaller ones.

Each small task was assigned to different people to handle separately, ensuring that no two different tasks were ever connected.

For example, the task of eliminating Wang Sheng was assigned to Tao Jun;

The kidnapping and imprisonment were carried out by the fake Wang Sheng;
There were also RVs used to detain the victims, which were purchased with funds from Li Rong;

The victims who had never seen his true face and were still alive were handed over to Wang Youcai for handling;

As for the handling of crucial evidence, the bald assassin secretly destroyed everything.

Each person is just a cog in a machine, with no connection to the others.

In fact, most people are unaware of each other's existence.

Police investigations rely on following clues to uncover the truth, so this approach is a devastating blow to police investigations.

However, despite his worries, Jiang Kaiji did not feel hopeless.

“Your assumption is a bit scary, but even if Wang Youcai replaced the ink in the pen holder in order to frame Hu Yingshao, we can still use this calligraphy as a pretext to launch an investigation against him.”

Jiang Kaiji said confidently.

But the subsequent questioning silenced him completely.

Tian Hao picked up the tablet and turned on the display screen on the wall: "This calligraphy was written for me by you when you were in the brigade. Mr. Hu shouldn't deny that, right?"

it has started.

The crowd outside held their breath, watching to see how Hu Yingshao would refute this evidence.

Hu Yingshao turned his head to look at the screen, which was playing the surveillance video of him writing in the branch office lobby.

"Of course, this calligraphy is full of my respect for Officer Tian."

Hu Yingshao said in a slightly exaggerated manner.

Hiss...whoosh.

Tian Hao took a deep breath: "We detected the DNA of Wang Youcai's victims in this handwriting. What do you have to say about that?"

"This must be a frame-up."

Hu Yingshao spread his palms and said casually, "You see, Wang Youde is Wang Youcai's younger brother, right?"

Because I have always tried my best to stop wrongdoing, Wang Youcai has long held a grudge against me, so it is normal for him to use this method to frame me.

Given that the victims all worked for them, obtaining their DNA was very easy.

The worst has happened.

Just as Cheng Lejia had feared, Hu Yingshao, as always, shifted the blame.

Tian Hao warned Hu Yingshao with a serious expression: "But these are your calligraphy brushes and your Xuan paper. You are involved in this matter no matter what. You had better cooperate with our investigation."

"Officer Tian, ​​please zoom in on the video."

With his hands cuffed, Hu Yingshao could only point to the display screen on the wall with his finger.

“Look, Wang Youde is in charge of keeping all my personal belongings. If he wants to frame me, he has many opportunities to do so.”

If you want me to cooperate with the investigation, you'd better provide other substantial evidence. Otherwise, I refuse to allow you to violate my privacy rights. Please discuss any questions with my lawyer.

Tian Hao laughed in anger at these words: "You're a criminal suspect now, so straighten your attitude!"

Faced with Tian Hao's warning, Hu Yingshao's tone was very serious, but he had a mocking smile on his face.

"Officer Tian, ​​as I said, I refuse to cooperate with the investigation until you produce substantial evidence."

If, under the guise of investigating a case, one can fabricate evidence and arbitrarily investigate and punish others, then is there any justice left in the world?
If you insist on coercing me into coercing the investigation, I will have my lawyer notify the media, issue a notice of prosecution against the criminal investigation team, and report you to the Ministry of the Interior for suspected use of excessive force.

He already knew what Tian Hao's three tricks were: to use the evidence to force him to comply and reveal his itinerary.

Then, through these journeys, they will gradually uncover their true colors.

Then I only need to use the same tactics.

They would find media outlets to generate buzz and spread public opinion, putting immense social pressure on the branch, then use lawsuits to slow things down, and finally distract the branch through internal affairs.

Hu Yingshao remembered the solution clearly in his mind.

The kidnapping was a perfect crime; all the evidence was handled very cleanly.

Having mastered the script and directed this grand spectacle, Hu Yingshao knew very well that he was in an invincible position.

Hu Yingshao was worried that if he pushed them too hard, someone might do something desperate, so he kindly offered a condition: "Of course, if you can find Wang Youde during the summons period and have him testify against me, I can cooperate with your investigation."

Tian Hao immediately glared angrily at Hu Yingshao.

Did they bring in Wang Youde?
Given how much Wang Youcai values ​​his younger brother, Wang Youde is probably no longer in Qianhua City. Where can we find him?
While filled with anger, a slight wavering arose in Tian Hao's heart.

Whether it was the Wang Youcai brothers, Tao Jun and his subordinates, or even the criminal police team.

Hu Yingshao had anticipated the actions each of them would take.

Besides Tao Jun's arrest, which forced Hu Yingshao to surrender and buy time,

It was as if everyone was acting according to his ideas.

Not only Tian Hao, but also Jiang Kaiji and others outdoors had the same idea.

They were like puppets on strings, becoming playthings in Hu Yingshao's hands.

But then, Jin Ping'an seemed to realize something, and his expression changed.

Hu Yingshao was able to anticipate their actions because he had a deep understanding of the people.

So, are there any troublemakers that Hu Yingshao doesn't know about?

Yes, and he messed things up more than once.

The messenger's face flashed through Jin Ping'an's mind.

The first time, the messenger led him to capture the fake Wang Sheng;

The second time, although it was supposedly to use the police to divert attention, the messenger provided information about Wang Youcai;
The third time, the messenger helped them capture Tao Jun and seize two USB drives, indirectly forcing Hu Yingshao to surrender.
The fourth time, the messenger informed them that the RV was used to imprison the victims, thus rescuing Zhou Yinlian.

Each appearance of the messenger brings a major turning point to the case.

So this should be the fifth time.

Jin Ping'an took out the USB drive that the messenger had just given him from his pocket.

Jin Pingan, clutching the USB drive, quickly left the interrogation room and went to the computer in the office area.

Plug in the USB drive, open the folder, and you'll find only one video file inside.

With a mix of trepidation and excitement, Jin Ping'an clicked play.

…………

Tian Hao thought that obtaining this crucial evidence would put Hu Yingshao in a desperate situation.

But who knew that experience counts? The other party remained unmoved and even managed to turn the tables on them using various means.

Tian Hao and Shi Hongfang exchanged a glance.

Shi Hongfang nodded helplessly. He planned to produce a video of Hu Yingshao and the people from the money shop discussing issues together.

At present, we can only use economic crimes as an excuse to detain Hu Yingshao first, and then investigate him slowly.

Tian Hao is now afraid that Hu Yingshao will directly admit to the crime, get a minimum sentence through his lawyer, and be released after a short period of imprisonment.

By then, the kidnapping case will probably be...

It's utterly ironic that the police are worried the suspect will confess directly.

Just as Shi Hongfang picked up the tablet, intending to project the video onto the screen, Jin Ping'an's voice came from the radio.

"Old Tian! Open the door! I have crucial evidence to bring in!"

I've been having some minor health issues lately, so my update schedule has been fluctuating a bit...

It's okay, it's not a big problem...
