Solving the case: Wu Song travels back 97 years and becomes a detective

Chapter 20: Confessions and the Truth Revealed

No wonder he suddenly started killing people one after another!

No wonder he didn't give himself away even after several attempts at bluffing.

It's indeed difficult for a dying person to lose control of their expression.

What could be more terrifying than death in this world?

"In that case, the interrogation won't be that easy! Getting anything out of him and getting him to confess might not be so simple."

and many more!

Got it!

"Brother Bin!" Wu Song came to Xu Bin's side and whispered, "Wang Zhiqiang has a strong mentality and is very tight-lipped. Before you came, my master and I questioned him for more than ten minutes, but he either changed the subject or didn't answer. I feel that the interrogation may be more difficult in the future."

"Don't worry!" Xu Bin smiled slightly.

"Several red hats identical to those on the deceased's head were found in his house, and the nails in that house were the same type as those found at the scene, and the wood was the same."

If the wood in that house matches the grain of the wood used to make the cross, this evidence is basically enough to convict him. Whether he admits it or not won't change his fate.

"I understand." Wu Song nodded. "But I think that calling Wang Zhiqiang's father, Director Wang, over so they can meet might expedite the process."

"A family-based offensive? No!" Xu Bin frowned. "He committed the crime to retaliate for more than a decade of repression from childhood to adolescence. Bringing Director Wang over might make him think that admitting he is the murderer would be an even bigger blow to his father."

But isn't doing this a bit too much?

Hey, but Director Wang will find out sooner or later, so it's only right to inform the family and let them know about this.

"Great suggestion, sure." Xu Bin patted Wu Song on the shoulder. "I heard about your performance from Lao Cao. It was good. You were very uninhibited, just like a seasoned detective. Xiao Song, I feel like you're ready to graduate."

"Hey hey hey!"

Cao Dahua came over and shoved Xu Bin's hand away, saying, "You're not his master. Whether he graduates or not isn't up to you. It's up to me, his master, to decide."

"Ha!" Xu Bin laughed and pointed at Cao Dahua, "Who was it that called me the night he got a new apprentice and said he didn't want to train one and asked if someone else could train the new one?"

"Hmm?" Cao Dahua raised an eyebrow. "Did that ever happen? How come I don't know anything about it?"

Cao Dahua will absolutely not admit it!

He didn't want to take on apprentices because he didn't want one who would ask questions all the time, who didn't know anything about this or that, and who might even hinder the investigation.

Someone like Wu Song, who's like a seasoned veteran, makes acting with him feel like working with an old partner, and he's also a highly skilled disciple.

Who doesn't want someone to be a fool?

"Old Cao, oh Old Cao!" Xu Bin smiled helplessly, feeling a little regretful.

If I had known, I would have just made Wu Song my disciple from the beginning.

As for the issue of seniority.

At worst, we can each do our own thing.

What a pity, I missed it!

……

trial room.

Just as Wu Song had predicted.

Facing interrogation by the pre-trial team and Xu Bin, Wang Zhiqiang maintained his poker face.

When faced with various questions, I usually think for a few seconds before answering.

Organize your words carefully.

There will be no obvious loopholes.

Whether he was trying to scare him or to express empathy, Wang Zhiqiang's poker face remained unchanged.

"I don't know anything about the scarecrow murder case."

"You asked why the wood used in that scarecrow murder case is the same as the wood I used. I don't know either. Maybe it's just a coincidence."

"It really wasn't me. I've been diagnosed with cancer, just like my mom, pancreatic cancer. You can look up the survival rate for this disease; the chances of surviving are very, very low."

If I really did it, I'll admit it. Of course, if you really can't solve this case and need to find a scapegoat, well, I'm already a dying man anyway, so I'll just consider it doing a good deed.

"Come on, tell me the details, the time of the crime, etc. I'll cooperate and give my statement according to what you say."

"Wang Zhiqiang, you better behave yourself." The good cop in the interrogation room started to show his power.

"Okay!"

Wang Zhiqiang then began to respond with silence.

No matter what you ask, I will no longer answer.

"Knock knock knock!" After picking up Director Wang, his later wife, and their three-year-old son from the door, Wu Song led Director Wang to the interrogation room door alone, raised his hand and knocked three times, "Captain Xu, the suspect's family has arrived."

"Bring it in!"

"Director Wang, I hope you can control your emotions!"

"Don't worry!" Director Wang walked in, his gaze falling on Wang Zhiqiang's face. He immediately lost control of his emotions and shouted, "Bastard, did you really kill those three people?"

"Yes!" Wang Zhiqiang nodded.

Excuse!

The members of the preliminary investigation team were all greatly encouraged.

Xu Bin also glanced at Wu Song subconsciously.

This trick really works!

"Why?"

"When you came to me, you were drunk and kept saying who was trying to poach employees from the factory, but you, as the head of security, couldn't do anything about it. I killed them for you, isn't that helping you? Dad, why are you scolding me again?"

"Did I ask you to help me like this?"

"So what?" Wang Zhiqiang laughed. "Dad, how does it feel to see people die one by one under your protection as the head of the security department? Is your son up to your standards? Isn't he outstanding? If I don't commit a crime a third time, the police might not even be able to find me."

"But you still did it," Xu Bin said. "And you failed on the third try."

"I did it on purpose!" Wang Zhiqiang sneered. "I knew you had an ambush that night."

"How did you know?" Xu Bin couldn't sit still any longer, thinking that someone inside the branch office had leaked the information.

"That morning, my dad was right next to me. You contacted him and asked him to investigate the missing persons in the factory. I later found out that someone was imitating me in committing the crime."

"Interesting, very interesting. How did you find the steel mill so early, and catch the man that morning? It's simple, you definitely didn't discover the body disposal at dawn. The only explanation is that you ambushed him at night."

"..."

Xu Bin and Wu Song were at a loss for words.

The process wasn't quite right.

But the conclusion is correct.

"But I still went," Wang Zhiqiang continued.

"At first, I simply wanted to get revenge on my dad."

But later on, I was not just getting revenge on him; I felt a strange sense of accomplishment.

I just wanted to see if you could catch me in this situation! And how long it would take, to be honest, much faster than I expected! Very good!

As he spoke, Wang Zhiqiang looked at Wu Song, "Why so fast? Based on height, build, and fighting ability? There are quite a few people like that in the entire steel plant, at least a hundred, if not three or four hundred. How did you manage to target me, someone who isn't even a steel plant employee, in just two days? Just because of those two thugs who robbed me?"

"Maybe there's a bit of luck involved!" Wu Song neither admitted nor denied it.

"Ha! This is fate." Wang Zhiqiang chuckled, leaning back in the interrogation chair, and looked up at Director Wang. "Forget about me, your son. By the way, Dad, whatever your current son wants to do or learn, don't force him anymore."

In particular, avoid drinking alcohol at home on rainy days.

I understand your pain very well, and I feel sorry for you, but I cannot accept your behavior.

If you want to drink in the future, just go to a guesthouse and get a room. Don't let him go through what I went through.
