I'm not a genius detective

Chapter 55 Interrogation of Yang Qi
Two days later.

Yang Qi has been criminally detained and is currently in a detention center, spending his days with other criminal suspects.

Until there is insufficient evidence to release them, or the prosecutor's office approves their arrest and prosecution.

The task force is doing two things.

First, the forensic doctor repeatedly examined the summer blanket, trying to find biological information left by a second person.

Second, the investigators checked the surveillance footage, trying to find whether Yang Qi's vehicle had appeared at any inappropriate time between the evening of the second day of the Lunar New Year and the third day, with a focus on the early morning of the third day.

If there is a breakthrough, Yang Qi can be interrogated immediately. He can cover up one lie, but not multiple lies.

Interrogation is one of the important methods in criminal investigation. Once the suspect talks, the rest becomes much simpler.

Currently, the clues are sufficient for the task force to conduct a long-term interrogation of Yang Qi until he tells the truth.

Clues are clues, and evidence is evidence. If there is evidence, confessions are not that important; the court can convict someone without a confession.

Ji Bowen was very patient and did not go to the detention center to find Yang Qi. He wanted to succeed in one fell swoop and avoid the trouble of going back and forth.

Yang Qi's family was notified of the criminal detention, and his parents came to the scene.

For the parents, it was like the sky had fallen.

Suspected of murder, which is one of the most serious crimes that an ordinary family can imagine, and another is drug trafficking.

Whether it's murder or drug trafficking, the consequences are extremely serious, and there is a possibility of being sentenced to death.

My life is ruined.

"How could my son kill someone... He couldn't possibly have killed someone! You must have made a mistake!"

"He's been so honest and obedient since he was a child! Can't you police take responsibility? You can't solve cases and you're framing people, right? Your wife died, so you arrest the husband!"

……

In the next room, Han Ling and Tong Feng listened to their squadron colleagues negotiating with the suspect's family.

Nothing I said mattered; the irrational mother wouldn't listen. Most of the time, my colleague was the one getting yelled at.

The son was arrested on suspicion of murder, and the parents still didn't care whether he was a police officer or not. They continued to berate him without hesitation.

Tong Feng sighed, "It's too tragic. Both sets of parents will go crazy. Xia Liang's quilt has been found, the used wet wipes have been found, and the security guards even saw Yang Qi throwing the quilt... All that's missing is a confession."

Han Ling, smoking a cigarette, said, "We haven't found Hou Jiarou's phone yet."

Tong Feng: "Should we throw it away?"

Han Ling: "They might have thrown it away, or they might have smashed it and flushed it down the toilet."

Tong Feng nodded: "Yes, that's a good idea. By the way, our branch's police dogs are pretty amazing. They can find dried wet wipes from several kilometers away. Their noses are really sharp."

After saying that, he added, "It also depends on Sister Lin's professional command."

"No, we're not from the branch office... Sister Lin?" Han Ling was unfamiliar with this person. "Who is Sister Lin?"

Tong Feng introduced, "The captain of the police dog squadron, you haven't seen him before?"

Han Ling remembered: "Oh, the one with short hair, right? Very androgynous."

Tong Feng: "Yes, yes, Lin Muyang."

Han Ling sized up Tong Feng. When Lin Muyang was mentioned, a different light appeared in the other man's eyes. At this moment, Han Ling suddenly asked, "Do you like Captain Lin?"

Tong Feng was startled and stammered, "Nonsense! What nonsense are you spouting! What if someone hears this and Sister Lin hears it and sets the dogs on me!"

"You're afraid of dogs? Bullshit!" Han Ling chuckled. "You've loved dogs since you were a kid, but your family wouldn't let you keep one, especially Border Collies."

Border Collie, also known as a Border Collie dog.

Tong Feng admitted, "Dogs are man's best friend, don't you like them?"

Han Ling didn't answer: "So, Captain Lin is the captain of the police dog squadron, and his name even has 'shepherd' in it, which suits you perfectly. Are you single? If you are..."

Tong Feng snapped, "Shut up right now!"

The two of them are quite free right now, and Ji Bowei has not assigned any tasks.

The investigation into the surveillance footage is being handled by more specialized personnel. Fangzhou said that these people will be transferred to the soon-to-be-established image reconnaissance squadron.

With the rapid development of surveillance technology and the gradual improvement of video networks, public security organs across the country have begun to establish video surveillance teams in order to better combat illegal and criminal activities.

The municipal police bureau has already established a video surveillance team this year, while the branch and county bureaus will be a little slower to follow suit. Police officers who can join the video surveillance team need to possess meticulous observation skills and video manipulation abilities; it's not an easy job.

It is quite difficult to accurately identify the physical characteristics of a suspect from blurry or poorly angled surveillance footage.

In the future, image analysis personnel may even be required to have the ability to improve video clarity.

As technology advances, criminal investigation techniques will also improve.

"Detected!"

Suddenly, Yang Rui's shout rang out from outside.

"We detected Yang Qi's DNA on the summer blanket! There's no mistake! It's Yang Qi's!"

Yang Rui's voice was very excited. She knew very well what this result meant; it could be said that the case had basically reached its conclusion.

In this case, the role of the forensic expert was crucial.

Their work goes beyond simply extracting DNA from both parties, which only proves that the deceased had been in contact with the summer blanket. The most important task is to determine how to identify the summer blanket as the murder weapon.

This is a complex, meticulous, and difficult process.

Han Ling and Tong Feng quickly got up and left the room.

When they came out, Ji Bowen was seen rushing off with the test report in his hand, seemingly heading to the detention center to interrogate Yang Qi.

Ji Bowen saw Han Ling and kept walking: "Han Ling, you should come too. Gain experience and see how a murder suspect sheds tears after seeing a coffin."

"You go too." Fang Zhou patted Tong Feng on the shoulder as he passed by.

Only a few people are allowed to attend the final interrogation; it all depends on the leadership's arrangements. Since there are newcomers in the team, they are naturally given priority.

Two police cars arrived at the detention center and stopped. Ji Bowei got out of the car and quickly walked inside.

Detention centers differ from detention houses in that they have specially set up interrogation rooms, which facilitate investigators to interrogate detained suspects at any time.

Ji Bowei handed over the interrogation materials, and Yang Qi was quickly taken to the interrogation room.

In two days, Yang Qi didn't change much, except that he looked a bit sloppy and listless. As time went on, he would become more and more disheveled.

"Yang Qi, shall we talk?"

Ji Bowen sat in front of Yang Qi, legs crossed, looking confident.

All clues and evidence point to Yang Qi; the other party can't be fooled.

Yang Qi remained silent.

Dangdang Dangdang!
Ji Bowei tapped on the table, and Yang Qi looked up.

"Would I come to the detention center if I hadn't found any evidence? Look, does this look familiar?" As he spoke, Ji Bowei picked up a transparent evidence bag containing a white tissue.

Upon seeing the tissue, Yang Qi was visibly startled, and then his gaze became intensely turbulent.

"Surprised?" Ji Bowei slammed the evidence bag on the table. "These items are several kilometers from the body disposal site. Are you wondering how we found them? They smell like your wife! There were the same brand of wet wipes in your car! Didn't you say you'd never been near the toy factory?"

Yang Qi swallowed hard, but remained silent.

Ji Bowei said, "The security guard saw someone throwing away a blanket late at night, on the third day of the Lunar New Year. Tell me, make sure you cover up the lies you told before, I'm listening."

Yang Qi's eyes twitched, and his deep voice rang out: "But... Jia Rou might have been there, and she's the one who threw away the wet wipes."

Ji Bowei raised an eyebrow: "What about the third year of junior high?"

Yang Qi: "The security guard must have made a mistake. That person is definitely not me. Did he see my face clearly?"

Ji Bowei laughed in exasperation: "Fine, you're really something."

As he spoke, he threw the DNA test report in front of Yang Qi.

"Can you read?"

"Your DNA was found on the murder weapon, the summer blanket. You had the guts to kill, but not the guts to admit it, right?"

"Come on, explain it to me again."

Looking at the DNA test report in front of him, Yang Qi was caught off guard and finally panicked.
