Chapter 204: Many Crimes Occur Because of an Overwhelming Need for Face

The meaning Yu Dazhang expressed was clear.

Liu Qi cannot be arrested for now.

"She will soon know the news that Ceng Ceng Lisi has been arrested."

Ma Jian, with a heavy, solemn expression, reminded him:

"Perhaps she already knows now. Aren't you afraid Liu Qi will flee?"

His concern was not unfounded.

Liu Qi has foreign connections and is not short of money; fleeing would not be difficult for her.

"She will not flee."

Facing Ma Jian's worry, Yu Dazhang responded with certainty:

"A person so arrogant would not do something like fleeing in panic."

After a pause, he suddenly laughed, speaking with mockery:

"Don't forget, she currently believes Liu Zhengyang died of natural causes."

"The moment she had Ceng Ceng Lisi hypnotize her, there was no turning back."

After hearing this, a smile also appeared on Ma Jian's face.

Indeed, as Yu Dazhang said, Liu Qi's actions were tantamount to cutting off her own retreat.

Putting aside the fact of Liu Zhengyang's murder, she truly had no reason to flee.

Now the entire case has gradually become clear, and every single clue points to Liu Qi without exception.

All that remains to be done is to gather evidence.

The next day.

Ma Jian continued to interrogate Ceng Ceng Lisi.

Yu Dazhang went to visit Liu Siyuan.

Inside the Liu family villa.

"I was hypnotized before?"

Liu Siyuan looked at the fat man before him, his face showing an expression of disbelief.

"Your girlfriend has already confessed."

Yu Dazhang sat opposite him, smiling as he comforted him:

"But you don't need to worry; we have had professionals provide you with psychological treatment."

"Why did she hypnotize me?" Liu Siyuan asked.

It was clear that, compared to his own physical health, he cared more about Ceng Ceng Lisi's purpose in doing this.

"For money, of course," Yu Dazhang said in a matter-of-fact tone:

"You have seen countless people; you shouldn't ask such a childish question."

At this stage, he could not yet tell Liu Siyuan the truth.

If he learned the truth, Liu Siyuan would surely go and confront Liu Qi.

In that case, things would likely become complicated.

"But she didn't cheat me out of my money."

Liu Siyuan pleaded:

"Can you let her go? I won't pursue her responsibility."

Yu Dazhang:????

Didn't Ye Zhiyu say the hypnosis had already been lifted?

What situation is this now?

Could he have truly fallen in love with that woman?

"You..." Yu Dazhang asked tentatively:

"Still planning to continue dating Ceng Ceng Lisi?"

"Of course," Liu Siyuan said, looking very calm:

"Regardless of her purpose in dating me, her status is still my girlfriend."

Yu Dazhang found this somewhat unacceptable.

This guy is a master of love!

Is he sick?

I told you, the other person hypnotized you, yet you still want to date her.

It's a bit like King Zhou playing with Daji...

"Forget it, do whatever you want."

Yu Dazhang irritably pinched the space between his eyebrows and stated the reason for his visit:

"I came to ask you: did Liu Zhengyang ever mention his will to you before he died?"

He had asked this question before.

At that time, Liu Siyuan was in a hypnotized state, so he did not answer directly.

"He did," Liu Siyuan answered very bluntly this time:

"It was exactly the same as the current distribution method; Dad told me and my sister in person."

"Do you remember when he said it?" Yu Dazhang pressed.

"Well..." Liu Siyuan recalled for a moment:

"Probably about half a month before Dad passed away." As expected... Yu Dazhang secretly rejoiced in his heart.

This differed little from his guess.

Liu Qi had indeed lied about this matter.

Her reason for reporting to the police was: half a month before her father died, he told her that if he died suddenly, it must have been someone harming him.

This reason was fabricated by her!

She wanted to cover up the fact that Liu Zhengyang had made a will.

Because what truly made her harbor murderous intent was the content of that will.

This was an inheritance distribution that reeked of unfairness everywhere.

From Liu Qi's perspective.

Money was not the issue; if this will were made public, she would lose all face.

Everyone who knew about this would mock her, even treat her as a laughingstock.

No mistakes, one chapter, one release, one content, all in one place!

As a favored daughter of heaven, she could not allow such humiliation to befall her.

There was another reason.

Why should that younger brother, inferior to her in every way, receive so much property?

Of course, all of this was Yu Dazhang's result of weighing and analyzing through perspective-taking.

This is what is called "empathy."

"There is another question," Yu Dazhang asked again:

"Besides Ceng Ceng Lisi, do you recall anyone else who has hypnotized you?"

Liu Siyuan frowned, thought for a moment, then shook his head blankly:

"No, I usually have no contact with such people."

That was strange... Yu Dazhang's expression immediately became somewhat peculiar.

He had originally hoped to learn from Liu Siyuan who that "Zhou Gong" was, but ended up learning nothing.

Leaving the Liu family villa, Yu Dazhang drove back to the branch station.

As soon as he walked into the building, a duty officer called out to him:

"Dazhang, you have a delivery."

"My delivery?" Yu Dazhang asked, somewhat puzzled.

He had no habit of online shopping, and had no relatives or friends elsewhere; logically, no one should send him anything.

"Just delivered." The officer took out a palm-sized cardboard box and handed it to him:

"Same-city delivery."

Yu Dazhang reached out to take it, saw the characters "Same-city" pasted beside the waybill, weighed it in his hand; it was very light.

After saying "Thank you," he took the delivery to the squad.

After sitting down, looking at the box on the desk, he muttered:

"Could there be a mobile phone bomb inside?"

The recent retaliation on the street had left Yu Dazhang with a nerve still tightly strung in his mind.

After hesitating, he still did not dare to open the cardboard box; instead, he held it to his ear and listened carefully.

No sound.

He sniffed again.

It was well sealed; he smelled no special odor.

He shook it in his hand, and a "rustle-rustle" sound came from inside.

His strange behavior soon attracted the attention of surrounding colleagues.

"Dazhang, what are you doing?" one officer stood up and asked.

Another officer also came over:

"Yeah, why are you shaking a cardboard box back and forth?"

Their voices also alerted the others.

"This is just a delivery; open it quickly and take a look."

Seeing the crowd's enthusiasm, Yu Dazhang no longer concealed anything.

"I've never bought anything online, and no one has said they would mail me anything, and..."

He pointed to the "Same-city" characters beside the waybill:

"This is even same-city. Everyone knows I was attacked a while ago, so I..."

Seeing his hesitant expression, everyone immediately understood.

"Damn, you knew there was danger, and you still brought it up!"
