Captain Lu was aloof again today.

Chapter 10 The Arrogant Man
“I…” Wang Hao’s expression was extremely ugly. After hesitating for a long time, he finally said, “Yes, I know her, but I have nothing to do with her death. Your investigation of me will only be a waste of time.”

After being exposed by Wei Qingsong, Wang Hao reverted to his previous arrogant and domineering attitude, holding his head high and looking smug.

"Know each other?" Wei Qingsong chuckled, his deep brown eyes as cold as ice, staring sharply at him. "I'm afraid it's not as simple as just knowing each other. At this point, I advise you to tell the truth."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jingming casually raised his eyes to look at him, his hawk-like eyes flashing with a cold, dark light.

His gaze seemed to see right through people, which inexplicably filled Wang Hao with fear, and he quickly looked away, not daring to meet his eyes.

He couldn't help but shudder. At this moment, he didn't care about his image anymore and shouted in a desperate manner, "Fine, I'll tell you the truth. Yang Yan is beautiful, young and knows how to dress. I had my eye on her when she first got a permanent position and secretly pursued her for a while. But this stinky woman doesn't know what's good for her and actually dared to reject me."

His words carried a hint of exasperation.

Wang Hao is an arrogant person.

Highly educated, highly intelligent, with an excellent job, and extremely renowned in the medical field.

In his mind, he was one of the most outstanding people in the world, and those women who rejected him were all blind fools.

With such high self-esteem and arrogance, how could he possibly admit to a failed courtship in front of outsiders? That's why he subconsciously denied his relationship with Yang Yan.

Zhang Feiyang was also surprised and looked at him more closely, but wisely kept quiet.

Wei Qingsong also noticed his reaction. So it seems that Wang Hao's pursuit of Yang Yan was not openly discussed, and therefore no one knew about it.

However, this is understandable. From a psychological perspective, people like Wang Hao often have extremely high requirements for their partners. Yang Yan is just a nurse, and she is far inferior to Wang Hao in terms of social status and economic conditions.

Therefore, Wang Hao probably didn't intend to be serious about pursuing Yang Yan. On one hand, he just wanted to have some fun, and on the other hand, Yang Yan was young and beautiful, and conquering such a woman would give him a sense of victory.

Unfortunately, he failed.

People with an Alpha personality find it extremely difficult to tolerate failure. The feeling of failure makes them angry, embarrassed, and extremely panicked. In a fit of rage, they may indeed do irrational things.

There are many cases of people killing others out of anger and rage after being rejected in their pursuit. However, these murderers often share a common characteristic: they are extremely unsuccessful in real life. They may not be good-looking, and their IQ and EQ are not very high. Most of them are at the bottom of society. The constant rejection gradually breeds darkness in their hearts, eventually leading to complete madness.

Then comes the problem.

Wang Hao is clearly not that kind of person. He is an expert in cardiothoracic surgery, a genius in the field, and a shining guiding star in the industry. He has a bright future ahead of him.

Would Wang Hao really risk his future to kill someone just because he couldn't win Yang Yan's heart?

Wei Qingsong slowly typed a question mark in her mind.

"You pursued Yang Yan and were repeatedly rejected, so you harbored resentment and killed her." Lu Jingming's voice was indifferent and deep, yet it contained an indescribable sense of authority and intimidation.

Traditional criminal investigation works like this: constantly making hypotheses, then refuting or verifying those hypotheses, and finally drawing conclusions.

Such hypotheses are often used when questioning witnesses or suspects.

If the suspect's psychological resilience is insufficient, they are likely to be exposed at this stage.

The truthfulness of what witnesses or suspects say can also be discerned by observing their reactions to the hypothesis.

For example, upon hearing Lu Jingming's words, Wang Hao's expression immediately hardened, and he hurriedly denied it: "I didn't! You can check if you don't believe me. Chat records and transfer records can all prove that we haven't been in contact since last month."

As if afraid Lu Jingming and Wei Qingsong wouldn't believe him, he panted heavily as he pulled his phone out of his white coat, quickly swiped a few times to bring up the WeChat interface, and handed it to the two of them. "See? The last time we chatted was on the evening of July 3rd, around 11 PM. I haven't contacted her since then, and I haven't deleted a single message. You can verify it with technical means if you don't believe me!"

Wei Qingsong subconsciously looked at Lu Jingming and met his gaze. In the exchange of glances, the two of them had already made their judgments.

Wang Hao was not lying this time.

Previously, he had tried to hide the fact that he had pursued Yang Yan, speaking without confidence, stammering, his voice low, his gaze evasive, and he dared not look up.

But this time, his voice was loud and clear, his gaze was firm, he spoke very quickly, and his tone revealed a sense of confidence. His demeanor, aura, and eyes were completely different from before.

He kept repeating and emphasizing that the police should verify the truthfulness of his words, displaying a completely fearless attitude.

It seems that Wang Hao was not the one who killed Yang Yan.

"Now you believe me, right? I also feel deeply sorry that she died suddenly and inexplicably, but this has nothing to do with me. You police shouldn't slander people's innocence so easily." Wang Hao snorted heavily, his face as black as the bottom of a pot.

He rolled his eyes and was about to put the phone back.

Wei Qingsong immediately looked away from her phone, and in a flash, she suddenly realized something.

"Wait a moment!"

Wang Hao curled his lip impatiently, his tone already somewhat unfriendly: "I've made myself perfectly clear. If you don't believe me, go investigate yourselves. I have work to do, so can you please not waste my time? Don't you know how busy I am?"

A sharp glint flashed in Lu Jingming's deep eyes as he coldly looked at him.

With just one glance, Wang Hao's arrogance vanished instantly.

Wang Hao's lips twitched slightly, but in the end he didn't dare to say anything more. He could only stiffly look away and gaze elsewhere, making cold syllables through his nose.

The man before me exuded a chilling aura. His eyes, filled with indifference and solitude, were sharp and cold, like a gleaming sword, radiating a cold light that pierced the heart and inspired fear.

He... was a born cop.

Even though Wang Hao was arrogant, he didn't dare to continue spouting nonsense in front of Lu Jingming. Being stared at by Lu Jingming's eyes made him feel a chill down his spine.

Wei Qingsong looked at Lu Jingming thoughtfully.

No wonder everyone calls him the Cold-Faced Demon God. With such a killing god in charge of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, criminals would probably be terrified and run away in fear when they see him.

Lu Jingming keenly noticed Wei Qingsong's gaze, glanced at her indifferently, and then looked away.

Wei Qingsong's lips curled up slightly, and a bright light flashed in his eyes.

She looked at Wang Hao, held out her palm, and gestured, "Open your phone to the WeChat interface from before, and let me see it again."

One of the four has already been eliminated. Can any of you guess who the murderer is?

The four people currently known are: Wang Hao, who is extremely arrogant and rude (already excluded); Ye Chen, who is gentle and elegant and seems to have a story; Zhang Feiyang, who is smooth-talking and knows how to judge situations well; and Li Yundong, who is timid, introverted and afraid of communicating with people.
