Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 22 Someone else?

That afternoon, the police found Kong Lingjie in a small hotel near the rental house where the crime occurred.

Why is it so smooth?
The small hotel was really too close to Kong Lingjie's rental house. The two were only separated by a street and only took two minutes to walk.

The police conducted an investigation from the rental house as the center.

It is equivalent to ending the investigation task as soon as it begins.

It went so smoothly that even the police officers involved in the mission thought the suspect was waiting for them in the small hotel on purpose.

Kong Lingjie was arrested and the next step was interrogation.

Yu Dazhang knew that the case had only truly begun from now on.

From this moment on, he must race against time.

The suspect had obviously made a plan and it wouldn't be long before he confessed everything.

Yu Dazhang must find new evidence before this, and cannot be led by the suspect like Lu Zhongxin in his previous life.

As a trainee police officer, he is not qualified to participate in the interrogation.

But in this life, he has the opportunity to have direct contact with Kong Lingjie.

That’s right, Yu Dazhang had only seen Kong Lingjie’s photo in the case file of his previous life, and had never met him in person.

But there are some things you can't see in photos.

For example, temperament and personality.

Photos don't speak.

In the interrogation room.

Lu Zhongxin and another criminal police officer sat in front of Kong Lingjie.

"Name?"

"Kong, Kong Lingjie."

"age?"

"Forty-three."

"What do you do?"

"A porter at a cold drink factory."

Although he could not directly participate in the interrogation, as a member of the task force, Yu Dazhang had the right to observe.

At this moment, he was in the next room with other team members, staring at the surveillance screen on the computer.

Watching the questions and answers in the interrogation room, Yu Dazhang finally understood why Lu Zhongxin fell so easily into the trap set by Kong Lingjie.

He couldn't figure it out in his previous life.

Why was Lu Zhongxin not on guard against Kong Lingjie at all?

You know, Master is an experienced criminal policeman who has seen all kinds of people.

It is no exaggeration to say that he can understand a person completely and make appropriate judgments based on his intuition alone.

But this time I was wrong.

It wasn't until today that Yu Dazhang found the reason.

The man sitting opposite Lu Zhongxin... is too ordinary.

He is the kind of person who is so ordinary that he couldn't be more ordinary.

The impression he gives people: honest, simple, taciturn, inferior and introverted.

Other than that there are no features.

It is hard to imagine such a person as a cunning and scheming criminal.

Although you can't judge a book by its cover, the contrast shouldn't be that great.

Looking at Kong Lingjie on the screen, an idea flashed through Yu Dazhang's mind.

Is he really not the murderer?
But all the clues point to him, and he did set a trap for Lu Zhongxin in his previous life.

What a contradiction~
What puzzled Yu Dazhang the most was that Kong Lingjie really didn't look like the kind of person who could come up with that plan.

An ordinary worker fooled an old criminal policeman and finally forced him to commit suicide.

With this IQ, would you go to work honestly?

The logic doesn’t make sense!

There is another loophole: the great lawyer hired by Kong Lingjie in his previous life.

With his financial situation, he couldn't even afford an ordinary lawyer, let alone a well-known lawyer.

Then comes the problem.

Why did that barrister defend Kong Lingjie?

I was in a good mood and took a case for fun, and happened to choose Kong Lingjie?

Yu Dazhang almost laughed out loud when he thought of this.

Even if I wanted to find a case to practice, I would not choose a case that is not difficult.

The only logical explanation is that someone paid to help Kong Lingjie fight the lawsuit! In other words, there is someone behind Kong Lingjie.

Yes, this may be closest to the truth.

Yu Dazhang's eyes lit up.

With that said, everything else makes sense.

That plan was not thought up by Kong Lingjie, but was planned by the person behind him.

Kong Lingjie is just a puppet.

This thought kept lingering in Da Zhang's mind and could not be shaken off.

If that's the case, then the next step is easy.

Find evidence!
Without evidence, this is just a logical inference, not even a story. A story must have a beginning and an end.

"I'll go out for a while." Yu Dazhang patted a team member next to him:
"My master will be out soon, please tell him for me."

The team member was a man in his early 30s. Hearing this, he quickly asked:

"You are hungry?"

What are you talking about... Yu Dazhang looked at him speechlessly:
"I'm going to the crime scene."

When they heard that Yu Dazhang was going to the crime scene, all the team members present turned their heads to look at him.

That expression seemed to say: Are you going to the crime scene to find food?
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Yu Dazhang was a little dissatisfied and rolled his eyes at them:
"I'll go see if I can find any other clues."

After hearing what Yu Dazhang said, the team members' expressions became even more strange.

The main suspects have been arrested and the case will be closed soon. Why are you going to investigate the scene at this time?
Even if you want to slack off, you have to find a decent reason.

"Do you want someone to accompany you?" asked one of the team members.

When he asked this, he was actually hinting to Yu Dazhang: If you dare to slack off, we will expose you.

"Okay."

Yu Dazhang didn't hear it and really thought he wanted someone to accompany him.

He was just worrying about how to get there. If there was no one to go with him, Yu Dazhang would have to pay for a taxi out of his own pocket.

Now everyone was a little surprised that this guy actually agreed.

The words were already spoken, and it was too late to regret now. The team member could only bite the bullet and say:

"Well, who will go with him?"

Complete silence~
Yu Dazhang blinked twice:

"Let's go together."

The man opened his mouth as if he wanted to refuse.

But after seeing Yu Dazhang's sparkling eyes, he swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

He scratched his head in annoyance.

Why am I so rude~
This fat guy is too honest. Can't he tell that what he just said was false politeness and sarcasm?

"Then, let's go."

Although he agreed to go together, he was certain that Yu Dazhang would not go to the crime scene.

This fat guy must be hungry, and he will probably be slaughtered soon.

Just eat it, you have to eat anyway.

When they got outside, the team member sat in the driver's seat of a police car, and Yu Dazhang sat in the passenger seat.

"Let's find a snack bar nearby."

"What snacks?"

Yu Dazhang felt a little strange and didn't understand what the other party meant.

"Let's eat." That person had an expression that everyone understood:

"Okay, it's just the two of us so stop pretending."

"Why are you pretending? I really want to go to the crime scene!" Yu Dazhang's voice increased by several decibels, and he was obviously unhappy.

"Really go?"

"of course."

Seeing Yu Dazhang's serious look, he stopped talking, started the car and drove out of the compound.

On the road.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Qian Cheng, and I'm from the technical department."

"Yu Dazhang, Criminal Investigation Team 1."

"Is there a restaurant you like near the crime scene?"

Yu Dazhang: …
