Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 54 Where has the time gone?
Yu Dazhang took advantage of the morning time to visit the police academy where he had studied.

If my mother had come to the school a year ago to inquire about my whereabouts, she would have asked the teacher first.

That’s right, he still couldn’t completely trust Zhou Zizhe.

It's like solving a case. No matter how true it is, it must be supported by evidence.

When he arrived at the school, Yu Dazhang went straight to the teacher who had taught him before, and the result was exactly the same as what Zhou Zizhe had said.

He found two other teachers and they both gave the same answer.

Then this cannot be false.

Zhou Zizhe is not capable enough to ask the teachers in the police academy to help him lie.

After returning to the detachment in the afternoon, Yu Dazhang helped the task force to integrate the evidence, and then did some auxiliary work.

All team members, including Lu Zhongxin, noticed that he was a little absent-minded.

Sometimes I have to call him several times before he responds.

This inevitably made them feel confused.

What's wrong with this fat guy?
He was fine when he came in the morning, but after going to the detention center, he came back in the afternoon like a lost soul.

Lu Zhongxin also called him outside for questioning.

But Yu Dazhang just shook his head and said it was okay.

He knew in his heart that it was useless to tell his master what happened a year ago, because Lu Zhongxin didn't even know him at that time.

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Zhongxin saw that he was not in good condition, so he let him go home first.

None of the team members had any objections. They just thought that Yu Dazhang was under too much pressure before, and after suddenly relaxing, he became dazed.

Has this ever happened?
Not only that, there are many.

back home.

Yu Dazhang sat on the sofa in the living room and glanced at the wall clock.

Ten past five.

My mother gets off work at five o'clock, and if you include the time it takes to buy groceries, she'll be home in fifteen minutes at most.

He went over the matter in his mind so that he could ask his mother the key points when she came back.

First of all, let me confirm one thing: I disappeared a year ago.

The body gained weight also after the disappearance.

2. What happened before you disappeared?
In other words, I did something unusual at that time.

Why do you think so?
Because Yu Dazhang ruled out the possibility that he was kidnapped.

Not to mention anything else, the kidnappers don't kidnap just anyone. Given the conditions of your family, the kidnappers simply don't even look at them.

Not to mention that after feeding them until they are fat and plump, they are released back.

What’s the matter? The kidnappers have a special fetish for fattening people.

It doesn't make sense no matter how you think about it.

Therefore, it must be that I took the initiative to do something at that time, which led to the disappearance.

3. Why is there no memory of this year?

Now Yu Dazhang really wants to sing: Where has the time gone? I have gained weight before I can enjoy the food.
Is it that I have no memory of the past year, or that I have no memory of this life?

He recalled it carefully.

Finally it was confirmed.

The self before disappearing was exactly the same as in the previous life.

That is, all changes occurred within the last year.

My rebirth is quite interesting, and it also has some blackouts.

Just when he thought it was a little ridiculous, there was a sound of a door opening, and then the security door opened, and Li Xuehe walked in carrying several shopping bags.

As soon as I came in, I saw my son sitting on the sofa, staring at me.

"Why did you come back so early today?" Li Xuehe asked.

"Mom, come and sit down first." Yu Dazhang watched her change her shoes and patted the sofa beside him. Li Xuehe saw that her son did not answer but asked her to come over, and immediately realized that he had something to ask.

She first took a few shopping bags to the kitchen, then washed her hands and took a minute before coming out.

Coming to the sofa, she sat down diagonally opposite Da Zhang:

"What happened? Why are you so serious?"

Mom, you've been exposed!

Yu Dazhang clearly saw that when his mother was speaking, her eyes glanced to the left, but her right hand pointed to the right.

Although the movements are small and casual.

But he knew that this was a small subconscious action when a person was thinking of a lie.

Also, she came to the sofa just now and took half a step back before sitting down.

This is an unconscious protective action, and also a psychological preparation for the lie that is about to be told.

It's really awkward to play psychology with my own mother... Yu Dazhang asked directly:

"Did I disappear a year ago?"

Perhaps she guessed her son would ask this question, so Li Xuehe was not too surprised, but asked back:
"Did someone else tell you this, or did you remember it yourself?"

Yu Dazhang told the truth, but did not mention Zhou Zizhe. He only said that he learned it from his teacher at the police academy.

This is one of his habits: not talking about the case when he gets home.

After hearing that she had heard it from someone else, Li Xuehe sighed and said:
"Son, it doesn't matter whether you know or not. Aren't you doing well now? Our family is safe and sound. That's enough."

I don’t want to say... Yu Dazhang quickly judged his mother’s mental state.

This is his biological mother, he can't play tricks on her, so he decided to use a roundabout tactic to change the subject:

"Dad knows about this, too, right?"

Li Xuehe didn't answer, but just nodded.

"Our teacher said that many classmates suspected that I had committed a crime and was imprisoned."

This is what he made up.

Throwing dirty water on yourself will resonate with your mother and make her let down her guard.

In fact, there is a big logical loophole in this statement, but it doesn’t matter.

As for rumors, it doesn’t matter whether they are true or not, as long as they can cause emotional fluctuations.

Sure enough, when Li Xuehe heard this, her expression changed immediately:

"They are talking nonsense! How can they say that about people? Your father and I were just asking them if they had seen you."

"Besides, can you still be a police officer if you commit a crime? Don't they use their brains?"

The roundabout tactic worked... Yu Dazhang immediately acted like an actor, and instantly changed into an anxious and angry look.

I saw him jump up from the sofa, his feet five centimeters off the ground, and he landed before he took off.

Even so, there was still a "bang" sound.

"It takes only a few words to spread rumors, but it takes a lot of effort to refute them!" He said angrily:

"I just want to fight back against them now, but I don't know where to start. What if some classmates come to me in the future? How can I show up in public?"

As he said this, he sat back on the sofa and covered his face with his hands to prevent his mother from seeing his expression.

My acting just now was a bit too exaggerated... Yu Dazhang reminded himself in his heart.

Try not to look at each other to avoid revealing your flaws.

"This, this... I didn't expect it to be like this." Li Xuehe hesitated, as if she regretted going to the school to inquire.

"Then tell me what happened a year ago?" Yu Dazhang changed his tone again, and it could be heard that he was eager to know the truth.

Seeing her son so anxious, Li Xuehe felt very distressed and said in the calmest tone possible:

"On April 30th last year, you suddenly told us that you were going out for a while. When we asked you where you were going, you refused to tell us and only said that you would be back in three days at most."

"But once he left...there was no news from him."
