Captain Lu was aloof again today.

Chapter 79 Settlement
Perhaps they will suffer a lot along the way, and feel lonely at times, but perhaps by overcoming the thorns, they will be able to usher in their own broad road and a brand new life.

Are family members wrong to urge their loved ones to get married? Actually, they are not wrong. They are just looking at it from their own perspective and want to see the person they care about living a happy and fulfilling life.

But sometimes, perfection is not necessarily happiness.

If the families of these three deceased knew that their unintentional pressure to get married had become a death sentence, they would probably spend the rest of their lives in regret and remorse.

Wei Qingsong slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, calming her emotions, and coldly looked at Zhao Yanyu: "Tell me, what exactly is your grudge against Yu Fangfang? Why did you call her a vampire? How did these three victims become your targets for murder?"

Zhao Yanyu knew that he could not escape the punishment of the law no matter what, and his life was truly over now.

He was utterly dejected and heartbroken as he began his accusations.

"That bitch Yu Fangfang treated me like a backup plan more than ten years ago, and now she's treating me like a sucker, extorting and blackmailing me!"

“Li Yang is a scoundrel. I spent so much money to hire him as my agent, and he actually tried to sabotage me. That bastard went to Yu Fangfang's place to solicit prostitutes, and he even bragged to her that he was the real founder of Hausen. When Yu Fangfang found out about this, she used this secret to threaten me and demanded that I give her one million.”

“She even hired someone to take pictures of her secretly. She thought I didn’t know, but I had already noticed that shifty-eyed bastard. He was also that slut’s lover.”

The details here differ slightly from Wei Qingsong's reasoning.

Wei Qingsong originally thought that Yu Fangfang asked Li Guangsen to secretly film her and Zhao Yanyu in order to take the opportunity to climb the social ladder. She did not expect that Yu Fangfang knew about Li Yang and Zhao Yanyu's secret and simply wanted to blackmail them.

In this way, her previous doubts were also resolved. At the beginning, when they guessed that Zhao Yanyu was driven by love turned to hate, she vaguely sensed that the logical chain was incomplete. It turned out that the truth was just like that.

There's no such thing as a beautiful first love; there's only greed and taking.

The human heart is indeed the most unfathomable thing.

Although the motive was flawed, the general direction was correct, and they successfully identified Zhao Yanyu.

Zhao Yanyu continued, "That night, I wanted to have a proper talk with her, but she went even further and threatened me, saying that if I didn't give her money, she would expose me to the media. In a moment of panic, I accidentally strangled her to death."

“I was terrified when I saw her dead. It was very late that day, and there was no one left on the commercial street. I knew that there was only a short surveillance camera range in the back alley of the massage parlor, so I dragged her out of the window, drove out of the city, and dumped her on the side of the road.”

“It rained heavily that day, and I was very scared. I even went back to Fangfang Massage Shop and cleaned it inside and out. It was shown on TV that if I didn’t do that, I would leave fingerprints and the police would find me very quickly.”

“I watch the news every day, and I get very scared whenever someone knocks on the door. I feel like everyone wants to hurt me.”

"A month passed like this, and I found that the police did not suspect me. They didn't even know I existed. My shifty-looking lover was taken in for questioning by the police. I knew all of this."

“I didn’t intend to continue killing, but that day, a woman named Ma got into my car. I overheard her talking on the phone with her friend the whole way, complaining about her family pressuring her to get married, so I asked her a few more questions.”

“She told me something like, ‘Marriage is meaningless, making money is much better.’ In that instant, I thought of that bitch Yu Fangfang, that woman who would do anything for money! I hated her so much, I wanted to kill her on the spot, but I was also afraid.”

“That woman got into my car at her workplace. I had been staking out her near her company for several days, and I finally got my chance. The kind of dress she was wearing that day, that bitch had also worn. I couldn’t stand it anymore. She had to walk through a secluded alley to get home. Luckily, she was working late that day, so I didn’t have to worry about anyone on the road. I knocked her unconscious from behind with a stone, dragged her into my car, and strangled her.”

“At that time, I felt so happy. I thought that a greedy woman like Yu Fangfang should die.”

“Just like last time, I avoided the surveillance cameras and threw her out of the city. That was the second time I killed someone. I was so scared that I couldn’t sleep for several nights. At the same time, I was also a little excited, but the police were more vigilant this time, and I didn’t even dare to leave the house.”

“Until August, I heard that Li Yang, that bastard, was secretly buying shares. I was so angry that I wanted to kill someone. That female teacher you mentioned, she just happened to cross my path.”

“She said she didn’t plan to get married. At that moment, a voice in my head told me that she was the one. I followed her for about a week. On the 22nd, I heard that Li Yang had become the largest shareholder. I was furious. That night, the female teacher was wandering around the deserted streets alone in the middle of the night. I found an opportunity and killed her with a stone.”

"Then there's that Jiajia. I asked her about it myself this time, and I didn't expect her to be that kind of woman too. They're all like Yu Fangfang, even their dressing styles are so similar. They all like to wear those dresses that look very provocative. In my eyes, they're no different from Yu Fangfang; they're all damned women."

Hearing those harsh words, Wei Qingsong clenched her fist, then slowly relaxed it, and said coldly, "And now? After hearing their stories, do you still think so?"

Zhao Yanyu remained silent for a long time before finally saying blankly, "I don't know."

Lu Jingming glanced at him coldly and said indifferently, "You don't know, but the court's verdict will let you know."

Zhao Yanyu did not continue to argue or struggle. The entire interrogation process went smoothly, and he honestly confessed his motive for the murder and how he selected his victims.

The fact that the three innocent victims, like Yu Fangfang, all liked to wear black bodycon skirts was a huge provocation to Zhao Yanyu.

They share many similarities with Yu Fangfang, but they are not Yu Fangfang; their lives are beautiful and vibrant.

Since Zhao Yanyu committed his first murder, his mental state has been abnormal, and he has shown signs of paranoia. Whenever he sees someone who resembles Yu Fangfang, he imagines that he is being persecuted.

The police conducted a thorough background check on him and discovered that before he became rich, he had a girlfriend who broke up with him because he lacked ambition.

He always felt that his girlfriend left him because he was too poor, and he even went around badmouthing her, saying she was a gold digger.

His various experiences and limited perspectives led him to harbor hatred and prejudice against women.

As for the logic behind his necrophilia after death, it is just as Wei Qingsong said: he hated women, but he also had primal desires. He wanted to vent his desires, but he was cowardly and timid, so he did this perverted thing.

The real culprit has finally been brought to justice, and this serial rape and murder case has finally come to an end.

Everyone at the Quyang branch could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Director Zheng, beaming with enthusiasm, said, "Comrades from the Municipal Bureau, I was ashamed that I didn't host a welcome dinner for you when you arrived. Now that the case is solved, I'm hosting a banquet for you at a restaurant tonight to celebrate our success. You must do me the honor of joining me!"

The case is closed, yay! Here's a preview: the celebration banquet will feature some of the iconic scenes from the synopsis.
