I'm not a genius detective

Chapter 62 Interrogation
Upon receiving the order, Fangzhou quickly led his team to Yifeng City to conduct a comprehensive investigation into Li Hui's vehicle.

Li Hui became pregnant with Yang Qi's child, the most outrageous case he had ever encountered since becoming a police officer.

Since discovering the victim's body, he hasn't even considered Li Hui, partly because Yang Qi was quickly exposed, and partly because of his mother's identity.

Both reasons are fatal and can significantly affect the investigators' judgment.

It seems that Han Ling is the only one in the entire task force who remains calm and clear-headed.

They dared to think, dared to investigate, and didn't find it strange at all.

Fang Zhou found himself starting to lose sight of Han Ling, and had a vague premonition that the branch criminal investigation team would soon have another remarkable figure.

"Fine washing?"

The forensic team conducted a thorough examination of Li Hui's car, drew their conclusions, and reported to Fang Zhou.

"Yes, it's definitely been professionally cleaned. It's the kind of professional cleaning where the seats and trunk are completely removed. It would cost at least two hundred yuan."

A normal car wash now only costs ten or two hundred yuan, which shows how thorough the cleaning will be.

“In this situation, it’s almost impossible to find any trace,” said a detective from the technical squad.

Fangzhou didn't delay: "Regroup."

……

Branch office.

Observatory.

The one-way mirror in the observation room provides a clear view of the interrogation room. The room serves to monitor, record, and analyze information, while also providing a place for investigators to observe and gain experience.

At this moment, Ji Bowen and Hu Lihui are both here.

The interrogation had entered a heated phase, and the two discovered that Han Ling was quite skilled in the interrogation room. He could make Li Hui's emotions fluctuate with almost every word he said, which showed that he had a great understanding of the suspect's psychology and had keen insight.

Criminal investigators need to understand suspects, but there are two sides to it. Over time, they encounter all sorts of people, including psychopaths and lunatics.

When you can understand the psychology of a psychopath, you're not far from becoming one yourself. It requires a strong heart and willpower, and you may need psychological counseling occasionally.

A police officer pushed open the door and entered, his voice urgent: "Captain Ji! Captain Hu! The surveillance cameras have captured Li Hui's car! It was on the night of the second day of the Lunar New Year! It's the only intersection on the way to the body disposal site!"

The previous targeted investigation of Yang Qi completely ignored Li Hui.

The two turned around, and Ji Bowei asked, "Who was driving? Did you get a clear picture?"

The officer replied, "The lighting conditions were poor, so we could only make out the car model and license plate, but not the driver's face. He had short hair, and it wasn't Li Hui; it looked a lot like Yang Qi."

Most cameras these days are standard definition, resulting in poor nighttime capture performance.

The Ministry of Public Security has recently issued a document to vigorously promote the application of high-definition surveillance equipment.

"Should we tell Han Ling?" the officer asked.

Ji Bowen looked at the one-way glass and said, "No need for now, confess quickly, don't interrupt."

Officer: "Okay."

trial room.

Under Han Ling's influence, Li Hui gradually broke down, her expression slightly distorted. Her makeup, originally intended to enhance her appearance, now made her look like a female ghost: "You think you know me well? You're just a kid who hasn't even grown his hair yet, do you know what life is? Do you know what it means to waste your life?!"

Han Ling lightly flicked the cigarette handle, without smoking it, and said, "You know what, I really do know."

Li Hui retorted, "You don't understand your grandma!!"

Han Ling laughed: "Your affair with Yang Qi was the main motive for the crime, but that alone shouldn't be enough to make you poison your own daughter."

Over the years, you must have had some resentment towards her, right? Or rather, you attribute all your negative emotions and wasted time to Hou Jiarou.

When Hou Jiarou discovered your affair with Yang Qi, she completely erupted. You may have regretted it after you came to your senses, but the outcome was irreversible. Li Hui was furious and tried to stand up, but her body was tightly bound and she couldn't move.

"Stay still!" an officer warned in the interrogation room. "Don't move!"

Li Hui stared intently at Han Ling. How come she hadn't noticed how deep this little bastard's heart was when they met a few days ago?

Have the police really gotten to this point?

"I don't want to guess. Just tell me yourself, what does Hou Jiarou really mean to you?" Han Ling put a cigarette in his mouth and lit it with a lighter. "If you don't tell me now, I'm really going to ask Yang Qi."

Li Hui gritted her teeth and said coldly after a long while, "Didn't you already catch Yang Qi? Why are you still targeting me? Who suspected me? You?"

Han Ling: "The progress of the case is the result of the joint efforts of the entire task force. We are police officers and we will not let any doubts go unnoticed."

Upon hearing this, Ji Bowei and Hu Lihui in the observation room exchanged glances, sighed helplessly, and shook their heads.

This guy has pretty high emotional intelligence.

"Were you there when Hou Jiarou died? Don't waste my time with me!" Han Ling suddenly raised his voice and slammed his hand on the table.

Li Hui angrily retorted, "Yes! So what?! Not only was I there, but I also helped Yang Qi hold Jia Rou down! Are you satisfied now?!"

Han Ling: "You yelled at me? You conspired to kill someone and you still have the nerve to say that?! And the person you killed was your own daughter! I'd like to ask you, where is your humanity?!"

At this point in the interrogation, Li Hui completely let loose, shouting, "If I hadn't been blind enough to have met his father back then, would I have lived such a muddled life for over twenty years?! If I hadn't been carrying this burden, would I have missed out on so many excellent men?!"
"Look at her, she's starting to look more and more like her dad, it makes me so angry!"

Han Ling softened her tone: "But...you raised her, didn't you? You didn't abandon her."

Now I know why Hou Jiarou resists intimate relationships. It's because of the unconscious indoctrination you've given her since childhood that makes her believe that men are ultimately unreliable.

She must have to yell at her dad ten times a day, right?

Li Hui: "Did I say something wrong? Her father is a scoundrel to begin with!"

Not only does she look like her dad, but her personality is becoming more and more like his. She even dares to lecture me? She's practically a demon!

Han Ling: "The lesson you're referring to, are you talking about your marriage with Zhao Zhiqiang?"

Li Hui: "Yes!"

Han Ling understood.

Li Hui had multiple motives for the crime. If she loved Hou Jiarou very much, she would not have been able to bring herself to do it even if her affair was exposed.

The motivation comes from four aspects.

First, Li Hui hated Hou Jiarou's father, and because of this, she gradually came to dislike Hou Jiarou as well.

Secondly, with Hou Jiarou by her side, Li Hui has faced numerous setbacks in the marriage market. Coupled with her high standards, she has remained single until now. If she didn't have a daughter, she might have already found a high-quality man to marry.

For women, there is a "hierarchy of contempt" in the marriage market, from high to low. The most popular is unmarried and childless, followed by divorced and childless, then divorced with a daughter, and finally divorced with a son.

Li Hui was on the third floor, so she could only choose what was left over from the first two floors, and the quality was naturally different.

Unless fate intervenes, unfortunately Li Hui did not encounter her destined partner.

Third, her controlling nature. Her daughter had always obeyed her since childhood, but gradually lost control after she grew up. After getting married, she started to oppose her and even forcefully interfered with the development of her relationship with Zhao Zhiqiang.

Fourth, and most importantly, Hou Jiarou has discovered her improper relationship with Yang Qi. Once this gets out, she will be utterly ashamed and unable to face anyone.

More than two decades of resentment suddenly erupted, leading to tragedy.
