Chapter 77 Arrest
After the establishment of Hausen Company, Li Yang still kept Zhao Yanyu active in public, and Wei Qingsong could understand the logic behind this.

She explained, "The reason is simple: for both him and Hausen Company, the benefits far outweigh the risks. Think about it: a grassroots person who suddenly becomes a capitalist is more likely to stimulate investors' desire to buy stocks than the expected success of graduates from prestigious universities."

"He gains both fame and fortune by giving all sorts of interviews. For someone who is used to a life of hardship, why wouldn't he do it?"

"There are definitely only a few people who know about this matter. Li Yang and he are in a community of shared interests. Their interests are closely related to the reputation of Hausen Company. Therefore, as long as Li Yang doesn't expose him, the risk of him being exposed is very low."

The middle-aged detective was completely bewildered, only vaguely understanding. After a long while, he said blankly, "Advisor Wei, you really know a lot."

Wei Qingsong smiled calmly and said modestly, "I only know a little bit."

Wei Sihua often talks about business at the dinner table. Having been exposed to it since childhood, it's hard for her not to understand.

Once upon a time, Wei Sihua wanted her to study business and follow in his footsteps, but unfortunately she was not interested in the cutthroat world of business and didn't have the talent for it.

She ended up studying criminal psychology by chance, only to discover that it was her area of ​​expertise, which could be considered a blessing in disguise.

If he doesn't do a good job as a criminal psychologist, he'll have to go home and inherit the family fortune.

Given the current net worth of the Lanson Group, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it's worth hundreds of millions.

Lu Jingming's gaze swept lightly over her smiling face, and a deep smile involuntarily appeared in his eyes.

Recently, Wei Qingsong has become less depressed.

Seeing her smile more often, Lu Jingming gradually felt at ease. If asking her questions would put her in a difficult position, then he wouldn't need to know the answers.

Why insist on clinging to the past? It's good as it is now. As long as she can stay by his side for the rest of the years, that's enough.

After a moment of reflection, Lu Jingming calmly ordered, "In that case, arrest them."

The outline of the case is becoming increasingly clear.

For some reason, Zhao Yanyu had a dispute with Yu Fangfang. After killing Yu Fangfang, he experienced the pleasure of killing her, and then he couldn't stop.

He used ride-hailing services as a medium to select victims, followed them for a long time to confirm their itinerary, and finally laid a vicious hand on them.

There are still some key mysteries that remain unsolved, such as why he committed necrophilia after his death, why he chose single, unmarried women as his murder targets, and what kind of conflict existed between him and Yu Fangfang.

The answers to these questions can only be found by bringing Zhao Yanyu back.

Zhao Yanyu and Yu Fangfang are classmates, and he is the same age as her, 34 this year.

According to the investigation, before winning the lottery, he lived in a rented basement. It is said that he had taken out a huge loan to treat his father's illness in his early years. His monthly salary was not much, and after paying off the loan, there was almost nothing left.

Before Zhao Yanyu was brought to justice, they also investigated the relationship between Zhao Yanyu and Li Yang. Ironically, the two met because after winning the lottery, Zhao Yanyu asked on a forum how to manage his money.

Li Yang was also a user of the forum at the time. After seeing Zhao Yanyu's post, he immediately contacted him and promised to help him start a business, which led to the establishment of Hausen Company today.

The promise was indeed kept, but Li Yang's motives were probably not pure from the beginning.

Li Yang has been making Zhao Yanyu the legal representative of the company, probably just to use his inspirational image to boost the company's stock price.

It's baffling what Zhao Yanyu was thinking to trust a complete stranger so much. He must have been completely out of his mind, no wonder he ended up like this.

Zhao Yanyu looks honest and kind; at first glance, you would never associate him with the real culprit in the serial rape and murder case.

Unfortunately, he was too timid. Before he even reached the interrogation room door, his legs went weak, and he grabbed the middle-aged detective next to him, crying and saying, "I don't want to go in, I want to find a lawyer!"

Lu Jingming closed his notebook and glared at him coldly: "You think you can escape just because the lawyer is here?"

His imposing aura was so fierce that Zhao Yanyu trembled even more violently, gripping the middle-aged detective's sleeve tightly and refusing to let go.

The middle-aged detective was speechless. Although he had expected it, he was still shocked to see Zhao Yanyu's pathetic state.

The confident and inspiring grassroots figure in the TV interview turned out to be such a timid and weak fool. You know, back then, many people in Quyang County regarded him as an idol.

It turns out that the inspirational rags-to-riches story was a complete scam from beginning to end.

Zhao Yanyu's tantrums were useless at the police station. Despite his crying and shouting, he was still taken into the interrogation room.

Lu Jingming and Wei Qingsong asked questions, while Bai Rushuang took notes.

"On the evening of February 6th this year, the surveillance cameras near the back alley of Fangfang Massage Parlor captured you. What were you doing there at the time?"

Lu Jingming didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

Zhao Yanyu swallowed hard, his gaze darting away: "I don't remember."

Lu Jingming sneered and slapped the photos of the other three victims on the table: "If you don't remember, then let's recall the others first. All three of them rode in your car and died tragically not long after. Don't tell me this is a coincidence."

Zhao Yanyu's breathing was slightly rapid, and his throat was dry and hoarse as he said, "I don't remember."

"Don't you remember?" Wei Qingsong scoffed, glancing at him with a half-smile. "Mr. Zhao, if I remember correctly, the new policy stipulates that ride-hailing vehicles must be equipped with dashcams, otherwise it is considered illegal driving."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yanyu's face turned deathly pale, and cold sweat poured down his forehead.

Seeing his reaction, Wei Qingsong's smile deepened, but her eyes flashed with coldness: "Tell me, if we retrieve your dashcam footage and compare it with the itineraries of these three victims, will we make any unexpected discoveries?"

Zhao Yanyu's chest heaved violently, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

He is indeed timid and cowardly; you don't even need to deliberately break down his psychological defenses, he will reveal his weaknesses on his own.

It's truly regrettable that such a person could cause the deaths of four women in the prime of their lives.

Lu Jingming stared at him coldly, his voice icy and chilling: "Tell me, how did you kill four women, including Yu Fangfang?"

Zhao Yanyu shivered. His lips parted and closed several times, and finally he burst into sobs: "I... I don't know what's wrong with me. I didn't want to kill them! I'm in so much pain, I'm in so much pain!"

Good morning. Thank you Ding for the tip, thank you so much!
