Detective: Open your eyes, I am handcuffed in the interrogation room.

Chapter 563: Qingshi Case Closed
After listening to all the recordings, Chen Yi realized that it was time for the case to come to an end.

The recording is supporting evidence and is also an important basis for obtaining Guan Xinmei's confession. With both the witness and the evidence, she can no longer make any excuses or fabricate any lies.

The source of the tragedy was Fu Peilan, and the fuse was Qingshi.

Without Fu Peilan, Guan Xinmei would not have killed anyone in Qingshi, and without Qingshi, Guan Xinmei would not have made the first kill.

Everything is destined.

In this case, most of the victims were more or less at fault. The only ones who were truly innocent were probably Xu Chaoyue and Du Xun.

Regarding Xu Chaoyue’s matter, we need to hear what Guan Xinmei herself has to say.

After leaving the office, Chen Yi entered the interrogation room.

Guan Xinmei was sitting there with handcuffs on. When Chen Yi came in, she looked up at him expressionlessly.

There was no opening remarks or "warm-up". All the evidence was laid out in front of Guan Xinmei and the recording echoed in her ears.

"Ah."

Halfway through listening, Guan Xinmei chuckled, with a hint of sarcasm on the corner of her mouth.

I don’t know whether he was mocking the police, Kou Chaoyi, or the victims, or maybe even himself.

Chen Yi leaned against the wall and looked at her, saying, "I sympathize with your experience, but you have killed too many people. I won't comment on Sun Menglan, Fu Peilan, and Xu Chaoyue's mother, but Xu Chaoyue and Du Xun have never offended you."

When mentioning Xu Chaoyue, Guan Xinmei's smile faded and she slowly closed her eyes.

It can be seen that she should have feelings for Xu Chaoyue. A girl with an experience like her will never trust anyone again unless love begins to germinate.

"Tell me about him." Chen Yi said.

Xu Chaoyue was the starting point of the interrogation.

Guan Xinmei didn't open her eyes, and her memories went back to a few years ago, when she and Xu Chaoyue had just met.

Xu Chaoyue is younger than Guan Xinmei, and they are in a sister-brother relationship. Chen Yi didn't expect that their love would burst out because of a hero saving a damsel in distress. It's quite bloody.

At that time, Sun Menglan was still there, and Guan Xinmei, like other students, was under the shadow of the Student Union.

When Guan Xinmei was bullied, Xu Chaoyue stepped forward to help her, but he was beaten by the student union.

From then on, the two knew each other and quickly became familiar with each other.

Xu Chaoyue is a warm-hearted man who makes Guan Xinmei feel warmth she has never felt before. Her broken heart gradually begins to recover, and she forgets the darkness she once encountered.

"Do you want to be my girlfriend?"

This is a young man who for the first time in his life mustered up the courage to speak his true feelings.

Maybe it’s not the last time, but the first time is always the purest, without any desire or interest.

"I am willing."

This is a girl who accepts a boy's confession for the first time in her life.

Maybe it’s not the last time, but the first time is always the most exciting and the most anticipated, and I’m full of expectations for the future.

Chen Yi listened silently, and the police officer in charge of recording recorded the entire process without missing a single word.

Every bit of learning, every bit of life, is so beautiful.

There is no early or late in love, it is the most beautiful encounter in life, not bound or restricted by time and space.

Everyone's emotional trajectory is unique. Some people may meet the person who makes their heart beat fast when they are young, while others may meet true love after experiencing more life experiences.

Early love can make people feel the passion and innocence of youth, while late love is more mature.

There is a difference, but it is definitely not the difference between sooner and later.

Chen Yi looked at Guan Xinmei from time to time. At this moment, there was finally a happy smile on her face that a normal girl should have, until... Sun Menglan's death came.

"I could tolerate her beating me, but she also liked Xu Chaoyue, and I couldn't tolerate it anymore. That was the last straw that broke the camel's back."

Hearing this, Chen Yi was slightly stunned.

Sun Menglan likes Xu Chaoyue?

Kou Chaoyi never mentioned this matter, which means Guan Xinmei never mentioned it to Kou Chaoyi. She only mentioned that she killed Sun Menglan because she was bullied and she accidentally killed her.

It turned out to be the case.

Sun Menglan chased Guan Xinmei to the dormitory and wanted to teach her a lesson. There must be other reasons behind this targeting.

"I didn't mean to kill him..."

Guan Xinmei's voice was filled with tears, and tears could be seen rolling down the corners of her eyes.

Chen Yi did not interrupt. The other party's memory should have reached the grove.

"Guan Guan, you've become the same as them, right? Kang Qin has to listen to you, right?"

Under the dim moonlight, Xu Chaoyue questioned Guan Xinmei, who kept her head down and remained silent.

At this point in time, Fu Peilan was already dead, and Guan Xinmei was no longer the same Guan Xinmei.

Two lives are enough to completely change a person. It makes Guan Xinmei's already twisted and dark heart explode completely, and even the purest love cannot change it.

"Answer me!!"

"answer me!"

Xu Chaoyue kept asking questions. Even though he already had the answer in his heart, he wanted to hear Guan Xinmei say it herself.

"Are you still the gentle and quiet Guan Xinmei?"

Guan Xinmei looked up at this, the moonlight splashed over her, and there seemed to be a cold light flickering in her pupils: "In the Qing world, gentleness and quietness cannot survive."

"Unable to survive?" This disguised admission made Xu Chaoyue emotional. "What do you mean by unsurvivable? What about me? Am I not living well? Aren't they living well? How can they not survive?"

It is incomprehensible that a boy like Xu Chaoyue, with such outstanding character and values, would be sent to Qingshi by his family.

Maybe I am too playful and don't study hard.

Having a good personality does not mean that you can resist the temptation of entertainment, nor does it mean that you are good at studying.

"You don't understand." Guan Xinmei said.

Xu Chaoyue said angrily, "Yes, I don't understand. I don't understand what you and Principal Kou were doing that night. I also don't understand who you put in the car. Your mother came that day. Was it her?"

Guan Xinmei's expression changed: "Are you spying on me?"

Xu Chaoyue: "How can I not monitor you? You are so close to Principal Kou, and you won't tell me even when I ask you!"

The described scene ended here. Guan Xinmei raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face, causing the handcuffs to rattle.

Chen Yi: "Then what?"

Guan Xinmei said: "He advised me to change, advised me to leave Qingshi, advised me to go to the Education Bureau with him to report, and also... advised me to surrender myself."

Chen Yi: "That is to say, he is the only student in the school who dares to speak up, but because of you, it has been put on hold for a long time."

Guan Xinmei: “Yes.”

Chen Yi: "In the end, you killed him."

Guan Xinmei: “Yes.”

Chen Yi sighed. This was the most regrettable victim in this case. He was positive from beginning to end and never had any bad intentions towards Guan Xinmei, but he ended up dying in the end.

Still died at the hands of first love.

"Tell me the name of the man who took you away for three days and three nights."

These words made Guan Xinmei tremble reflexively, and a rare hint of fear flashed across her expression.

Demons also have weaknesses and past events that they don't want to recall. There is no such thing as a born demon.

"I... I don't know the name." Guan Xinmei shook her head.

Chen Yi: "You remember his appearance, right?"

Guan Xinmei was silent for a moment, then said coldly: "I will never forget it in this life."

Chen Yi felt that the police had saved the man's life this time.

Once Guan Xinmei is given a chance in the future, she will probably die miserably, far more miserably than Sun Menglan and the other four.

And she herself will also complete six kills.

The interrogation continued and Guan Xinmei confessed everything. Qingshi was no longer a school to her, but a modern feudal kingdom.

Everyone is under control.

She liked this feeling of control, so she did not leave after the college entrance examination and chose to stay.

Finally, Lin Chen came in and drew a portrait of the last suspect with a high accuracy rate, and the computer search quickly locked down the identity.

A very ordinary person, a department manager of a company.

Zhuo Yun led the team and set off immediately. When the other party just arrived at the company and was about to go to work, they copied him back.

In the interrogation room, the man confessed to what he had done that year and took Guan Xinmei away for ten thousand yuan a day.

What awaits him is a prison sentence of more than five years.

This incident left Guan Xinmei with a huge psychological trauma, and she will find it difficult to let it go for the rest of her life, but she may not be able to live to the end of her life.

For such a vicious serial murder, the probability of immediate death is very high. It cannot be excusable by saying that you have psychological problems, unless they are mental.

The entire Criminal Investigation Team was deeply saddened by the final outcome of the case. They thought it would end with Kou Chaoyi, but unexpectedly it turned out to be the original victim, Guan Xinmei.

Everyone had a feeling that was both unreal and chilling.

Chen Yi personally went to the provincial department to report the details of the case. After discussion, the provincial department decided to keep it strictly confidential and not make it public for a long time in the future.

The nature of the incident is too bad and will have a negative impact on other students in Qingshi.

Living with a murderer all day long, it is hard to guarantee that a timid student will not develop psychological problems after learning about this.

Chen Yi did not go home for lunch, but chose to eat at the Provincial Department. He was the deputy chief of criminal investigation at the Provincial Department.

Together with Fang Songping.

The father-in-law and son-in-law were eating cafeteria meals in the office, which was quite warm.

"If the psychologist hadn't told you that Guan Xinmei had a problem, would the case have really been closed by Kou Chaoyi?" Fang Songping chatted while eating.

Chen Yi took a sip of water and said, "Maybe. At that time, I didn't realize that Guan Xinmei was involved in the case. However, Kou Chaoyi's confession is questionable, especially the motive for committing the crime, which lacks sufficient rationality.

Sun Menglan and the other three are fine, but Du Xun's death is incomprehensible. I had planned to find the murder weapon and investigate Kou Chaoyi's past, but I haven't found the murder weapon yet, so I'm stuck there."

Fang Songping nodded: "Any criminal policeman who encounters this case will end it after finding Kou Chaoyi. This is not a problem of ability. Taking the blame is the most troublesome thing, and the murder process he confessed is completely consistent with the scene.

When you said you were investigating Kou Chaoyi's past, did you mean his psychological motives?"

Chen Yi: "Yes, Kou Chaoyi killed Du Xun just for the sake of killing, similar to antisocial personality. I need to confirm whether he has been stimulated in some way. Now it seems that if we really investigate, we will probably return with nothing.

By then, I will have to think carefully about whether something went wrong. "

He was chatting with Fang Songping to review and reflect on himself, instead of making excuses for his own omissions.

Doing more hypothetical reviews will be helpful for future investigations. When encountering similar or similar situations again, you need to be extra cautious to prevent the occurrence of false and wrongful convictions.

Fang Songping: "If you suspect something is wrong, it's hard to associate it with Guan Xinmei, right?"

Chen Yi: "It's good to have a point. Professor Liu gave me this point. If she didn't give it to me, I believe I could find it myself."

Fang Songping: "For example?"

Chen Yi: "For example, Kang Qin, Director Shen from the Education Bureau said that Qingshi has not changed after the rectification, and the bullying behavior has worsened. After the implementation, Kang Qin will inevitably be investigated and interrogated.

Perhaps something about Guan Xinmei's situation might come out of her mouth.

I admit that the direction of this case was deviated at the beginning, but I still firmly believe that the truth will not be buried as long as you are sharp enough.

Although failure is the mother of success, the criminal police profession does not allow failure. Failure is a fatal blow to the victim. I hope that all criminal police will never experience failure. "

Fang Songping smiled and said, "You are speaking from a very high position. What do you think when your term of office is up next year?"

Chen Yi finished eating and wiped his mouth with a tissue: "Isn't it normal to stay in office?"

Fang Songping: "Isn't it too much pressure for you to stay in the provincial department and serve as the detachment commander? Why don't you temporarily hand over the detachment to He Shixin? In Dongzhou, he should be considered the elite of the police force second only to you."

He Shixin is only a few years older than Chen Yi. Like Chen Yi, he was promoted to deputy chief of the Criminal Investigation Brigade and was considered young in the country.

Chen Yi: “That won’t work.”

Fang Songping was an old fox, and had seen through Chen Yi's thoughts long ago: "You want to keep him by your side, right? And take him with you when you go to the Imperial City in the future?"

Chen Yi denied: "I didn't say that."

Fang Songping reminded: "Be careful, don't pull the mountain top."

As a father-in-law, he can say some things more harshly.

In the officialdom, he has walked more roads than Chen Yi has crossed bridges.

Chen Yi took out a cigarette and flipped it over, then said with a smile: "Dad, if there really is such a day, it's not a bad thing. A solid city wall requires concentrated elite forces to attack one point. What I want is the actual effect, not human relations.

With the Fang family and grandpa around, sometimes we can go a little overboard."

Fang Songping thought about what Chen Yi said, and finally nodded: "That makes sense. Do you want to hear what I talked about with He Shirong?"

"Oh?"

Chen Yi perked up and took the unlit cigarette out of his mouth.

After returning from Sendong Island, Fang Songping said that he would have a chat with He Shirong. However, he had been busy with Qingshi's affairs these days and almost forgot to ask.

Fang Songping said, "He wants to bring you into the Criminal Investigation Bureau, appoint you as a second-level police commissioner, and entrust you with important tasks within three years."

Chen Yi raised his eyebrows.

It's quite sincere.

Second-level Police Commissioner is a professional and technical title in public security organs, usually awarded to those who have rich experience and professional skills in public security work.

Although it is not a management position, it is not a nominal position and has practical significance and function.

Level deputy director.

The current Police Commissioner in the domestic police force is usually responsible for handling complex cases, as well as mentoring young police officers and participating in the formulation of police strategies.

The requirements are very high. In addition to professional skills, leadership and teamwork abilities are also required, because you may be sent to the front line at any time to participate in or even supervise various investigations and crackdowns not limited to criminal crimes.

The second-level police commissioner can be awarded by the provincial department, but if Chen Yi wants to make a living in Yangcheng, he will probably have to wait for many years.

"What do you think?" Fang Songping asked.

Chen Yi said, "Dad, didn't you just say I was too young? And you also said you would wait for Shuyu to get pregnant."

Fang Songping was puzzled: "Did I say that? When?"

Chen Yi was speechless. You have changed so quickly, it’s not even a month.

There is no doubt that He Shirong had said something to him on the phone, and the two parties reached an agreement on something.
