Captain Lu was aloof again today.

Chapter 68 Cross-examination
Bai Rushuang remembered what Wei Qingsong had said.

She said the killer was very familiar with road traffic and had his own means of transportation.

Li Guangsen fits this description perfectly. He is a bus driver, a local, and naturally familiar with the roads of Quyang. Most importantly, he owns a used car.

She added that the murderer must have had a large number of pornographic magazines at home.

When they found Li Guangsen, he was at home watching porn, which was somewhat related to the incident.

Wei Qingsong said he has a unique feeling for women wearing black bodycon skirts.

Although such a woman has not yet been found, that woman might be Yu Fangfang, because Li Guangsen once pursued Yu Fangfang passionately.

As for feelings of frustration at work, there is currently no evidence to support this claim. However, Li Guangsen's colleagues at the transportation company revealed that he has not been to work for a long time.

The specific reasons and timing are still under further investigation.

There are four points of profile in total, and Li Guangsen fits three of them extremely well. Who else could be the murderer but him?
Bai Rushuang couldn't figure it out, but she felt that this problem would definitely not stump Wei Qingsong and Lu Jingming.

She hurried toward the lounge—she had just returned and happened to see Lu Jingming and Wei Qingsong having lunch there.

She had just reached the door when she subconsciously paused.

In the lounge, Wei Qingsong barely touched the food in front of her, but she had already thrown her chopsticks into a plastic bag, seemingly because she was a picky eater and didn't want to eat.

She turned slightly to the side, rested her elbow on the table, propped her chin up, tilted her head, and stared intently at Lu Jingming.

Lu Jingming ate his lunch slowly and deliberately. The lunchbox in front of him was clearly only worth a dozen yuan, but with his elegant movements, it seemed to have become several times more valuable.

Although he did not respond to Wei Qingsong's gaze, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned.

In Bai Rushuang's memory, he had always been indifferent and aloof, like a snow mountain that was hard to melt, or an ice lotus sleeping alone on the snow mountain.

Now, the ice and snow have melted, and the ice lotus has bloomed, finally giving him a touch of human warmth.

The sunlight streaming in through the window cast a soft glow across the floor, and the sight before her stirred a deep, indescribable emotion in Bai Rushuang.

A flood of questions choked her throat, and she didn't even want to make a sound, lest she disturb this peaceful and beautiful moment.

But the situation was urgent, and she had to be the spoilsport.

Bai Rushuang steeled herself and stepped forward, gently knocking on the door and forcing a smile: "Captain Lu... Captain Lu, Miss Wei, Li Guangsen has been brought back, but there's a small problem. I think it would be better if you went to see him in person."

She was used to calling him Senior Brother Lu. They both graduated from Tangzhou Public Security University and were considered to be from the same school. She used to think that this would strengthen their connection.

She changed her mind before she could finish speaking.

We are just people who met by chance in this vast world, what connection do we have? The two people in front of us are unique in each other's lives.

Wei Qingsong and Lu Jingming also knew the importance of the matter. They quickly cleaned up the remaining soup and water on the table and followed Bai Rushuang to the interrogation room.

Seeing the emaciated young man through the one-way glass, Wei Qingsong was stunned for a moment, and asked hesitantly, "Is he really Li Guangsen?"

Could it be... that they've arrested the wrong person?

Bai Rushuang smiled awkwardly: "Although you've lost a lot of weight, I can still recognize you."

Wei Qingsong frowned slightly, lost in thought.

Li Guangsen, looking like this, really doesn't seem like someone who could commit a series of rapes and murders.

“I see that his eyes are sunken and his face is bluish-black. It’s obvious that his lifestyle is disordered. He should have resigned a long time ago, right?” Wei Qingsong questioned.

If someone like that were to drive a bus, they'd probably become a road hazard.

Even if he were willing, the transportation group could not afford to take on this responsibility.

“The Municipal Transportation Bureau has clear regulations that bus drivers must undergo regular medical examinations. Judging from his physique, he clearly fails the medical examination. Your information must be outdated,” Wei Qingsong said with a frown.

Bai Rushuang was genuinely stumped by the question. After a long pause, she said, "His colleague did say that he hasn't been to work for a long time, but the specifics are still unclear. I'll go and verify it right away."

Lu Jingming reminded him from the side, "Zheng Xun just retrieved Li Guangsen's work information, and his social security has been paid for the full number of months."

“There must be more to this than meets the eye.” Wei Qingsong frowned slightly, his gaze piercing through the one-way glass as he looked at Li Guangsen. “I’ll leave this to Officer Bai to verify. Let’s go and meet him first.”

In the interrogation room, Li Guangsen hung his head, looked haggard, and had heavy dark circles under his eyes.

Hearing the door open, he looked up briefly, then quickly looked down again, his hands fidgeting nervously.

Before entering, Wei Qingsong had already made an agreement with Lu Jingming that he would lead the interrogation, while she would be responsible for observing Li Guangsen's expression to determine whether he was lying.

Lu Jingming took a long stride and calmly sat down opposite Li Guangsen, then bent his finger and tapped the table lightly.

The crisp sound made Li Guangsen subconsciously look up, and his unfocused gaze finally returned to focus.

"Do you know why we called you here?" Lu Jingming's voice was calm, yet it exuded an air of oppression.

Wei Qingsong's gaze fell on Li Guangsen's hands, which were constantly rubbing and twisting, indicating that he was very uneasy and wanted to find comfort.

Of course, it's quite normal to have this kind of reaction when taken back to the interrogation room by the police.

Li Guangsen cautiously began, "I know, you're investigating that recent serial murder case; it's been on the news."

His voice was weak and he sounded very frail when he spoke.

Lu Jingming raised an eyebrow and sneered, "You seem to be quite interested in this matter, having even read the news."

There was an underlying meaning in those words, which Li Guangsen understood. He quickly waved his hand and said, "I don't care, I don't care. My phone pushed it to me by itself."

He repeated it twice, desperately trying to convince people of his words.

But as he said this, he subconsciously lowered his head, which was a sign of avoidance.

He was either trying to escape the fact that Fangfang was murdered, or he was trying to escape what he himself had said.

Wei Qingsong looked away and gently tugged at Lu Jingming's sleeve.

They didn't speak, or even exchange glances, yet Lu Jingming instantly understood Wei Qingsong's meaning.

He suddenly looked up, his cold gaze filled with a chilling intensity: "Take a good look at where you are right now. Lying will do you no good at all."

Beads of sweat appeared on Li Guangsen's forehead, his nervousness visibly evident: "I... I did investigate, but that doesn't mean anything, officer. I didn't kill anyone. I liked Yu Fangfang so much, how could I kill her?"

Lu Jingming's face remained cold, and his voice was completely flat: "Because she kept rejecting you, you became angry and resentful, and accidentally killed her during the argument."

"I didn't, I really didn't! Officer, I'm innocent! You can't wrong an innocent person!" He panicked, gesturing wildly, trying his best to prove his innocence.
