Chapter 230: The Wrongful Case from Sixteen Years Ago

He was still as realistic as ever... Yu Dazhang wanted to cover his face at that moment.

Just listen to what Ye Zhiyu said.

He wants help getting the reward, yet doesn't want to offend the company leaders.

He said he wanted Yu Dazhang to help request leave, but actually just wanted Qu Tuotuo to speak for him at the company.

Over time, people at Yisheng Group will think Qu Tuotuo is his backer.

His abacus beads are about to bounce off my face... Yu Dazhang guessed his thoughts with just a little brainpower.

Upon reaching the company lobby, Ye Zhiyu had just gotten out of the car when Yu Dazhang called him over.

"Take this and try your luck."

An unopened pack of Huazi cigarettes extended from the car window.

You can't just talk about painting a pie; you have to give something tangible.

"Is this... bought for you by President Qu?" Ye Zhiyu, who had already reached out, pulled his hand back.

"Rest assured," Yu Dazhang smiled and said:

"I won't tell her. Take it quickly."

Quite cautious~

Ye Zhiyu's look of being both cowardly and greedy made him find it somewhat amusing.

After driving far away, he saw in the rearview mirror that Ye Zhiyu was still standing there, repeatedly examining the cigarettes in his hand.

Only after confirming there were no special markings did he put the cigarettes in his chest pocket and walk into the company.

He looked as if he had just completed a secret agent handoff.

"And this guy calls himself a psychology expert," Yu Dazhang joked with a laugh:

"Cowardly and greedy for money, I spit~"

The next day.

Yu Dazhang had just started work when Li Jun called him into the office.

"You really brought honor to our bureau; we have new progress on this case just after making contact."

Li Jun looked at Yu Dazhang with a beaming smile, a hint of pride shining in his eyes.

"New progress?" Yu Dazhang was confused:

"Captain Li, did you get the wrong person? I don't even have any leads myself, where would this new progress come from?"

"Don't be falsely modest with me," Li Jun waved his hand and said with a smile:

"The victim's family has already sent a banner of gratitude; the person is currently waiting at the detachment to see you."

Li Yong's wife has come?

Yu Dazhang immediately thought of that woman; he had seen her twice at the hospital.

Previously, he had reviewed Li Yong's basic file.

His parents are both abroad and are already of advanced age, so they have not been notified for the time being.

At present, she is the only close relative Li Yong has by his side.

Yu Dazhang recalled.

When he left yesterday, she had questioned him twice, and things had gotten quite unpleasant then.

How could it be that after just one day, she arrived with a banner?

What happened after he left yesterday?

With a belly full of questions, Yu Dazhang met Li Yong's wife at the detachment.

The moment they met, she rushed over and tightly grabbed Yu Dazhang's hands.

"Officer, I finally get to see you," she said with an excited expression:

"Yesterday I misunderstood you; please don't take it to heart!"

"Calm down, speak slowly," Yu Dazhang helped her sit in a chair before asking:

"Has Li Yong's condition changed?"

Besides that, he could think of no other reason.

Li Yong's wife immediately nodded and replied:

"Yes, yes, his current state is much better than before; he's not arguing or making a fuss, and he's no longer speaking nonsense; even the psychiatrist is amazed by his change."

Hearing her say this, Yu Dazhang immediately guessed why she had come to deliver the banner.

Anyone who has cared for patients knows: you don't fear a patient being bedridden; you fear a patient messing around blindly.

Especially a mental patient.

Constantly speaking nonsense day and night is, for those around them, no different from a magic attack.

Li Yong suddenly quieted down and stopped causing trouble; the one happiest must be his wife, who cares for him closely.

Before Yu Dazhang could even be polite twice, the woman suddenly changed the subject:

"The person who came with you yesterday, I want to thank him in person; if possible, I want to ask him to continue the treatment."

So this was her true purpose... Yu Dazhang shook his head regretfully:

"I asked yesterday; he is powerless regarding Li Yong's illness; currently, this is the limit of what he can do."

"For follow-up treatment, find another professional doctor."

He did not reveal Ye Zhiyu's conclusion regarding Li Yong.

After all, Ye Zhiyu is not a professional psychiatrist; what if another doctor can cure him?

Moreover, as a police officer, he cannot say words that would bring despair to the victim's family. "Then, can you give me the contact information for that person from yesterday?" Li Yong's wife obviously was not willing to give up so easily.

"He is assisting the police in handling the case," Yu Dazhang refused:

"Identity confidential."

It is impossible for them to meet privately.

If Li Yong's wife sets certain conditions, given Ye Zhiyu's realistic personality, she would most likely not refuse.

Moreover, Ye Zhiyu has the ability to make Li Yong speak and answer questions.

Knowing it cannot be cured yet forcing treatment anyway, in Yu Dazhang's view, this is simply defrauding money.

Why couldn't it be defrauding lust?

Because Yu Dazhang does not believe Ye Zhiyu is a lecherous person.

Just imagine.

A hypnosis master pursuing the opposite sex; is the success rate even worth mentioning?

With Ye Zhiyu's abilities, there is almost no possibility of failure.

No mistakes, one sentence, one release, one content, all in one look!

But the fact is, Ye Zhiyu has always remained single.

Yu Dazhang once asked him:

"You are not young anymore; why don't you find someone to start a family?"

And Ye Zhiyu's answer was:

"Do you think I don't want to? I have no money; which woman would be with me?"

A friend asked.

With such means, why still humiliate yourself?

A counter-question.

If you have a knife in hand, must you go cut someone?

A knife can also be used to cook vegetables.

Three days later.

Ma Jian brought back the investigation results.

At this moment, Yu Dazhang was holding the just-organized investigation report.

Shao Xin, female, aged 18 at death, was studying at Jin Ling No. 2 High School when she died.

Cause of death: Homicide.

The autopsy report shows.

Shao Xin had twelve fractures all over her body, multiple skin lacerations, perforated eardrums, and her foot fascia severed.

Male bodily fluids were found in her body, suspected rape before death.

The fatal injury was damage to the neck, causing excessive bleeding in the throat and chest cavity, blocking the trachea and leading to suffocation death.

Time of death: April 26, 1998.

Seeing this, Yu Dazhang could not help but frown.

Sixteen years ago?

If Shao Xin had lived until now, she would be 34, exactly the same age as Li Yong.

"What is the relationship between them?" Yu Dazhang looked up at Ma Jian.

"High school classmates," Ma Jian answered:

"Another one named Liu Jinsong was also from Jin Ling No. 2 High School; the three of them were classmates in the same class."

That makes sense.

Yu Dazhang recalled that earlier in the ward, Li Yong had said he caused Shao Xin's death and also harmed Liu Jinsong.

Moreover, there seemed to be some sort of love triangle involved.

Since the three were high school classmates, everything makes sense now.

Li Yong pursued Shao Xin, but Shao Xin had feelings for Liu Jinsong.

What happened after that is easy to guess; Li Yong, out of love turned to hate, laid a deadly hand on Shao Xin.

Yu Dazhang then shifted his attention back to the investigation materials.

Liu Jinsong, 34 years old, a local.

The main suspect in the Shao Xin case; after the incident, he was taken away for interrogation.

That very night, he confessed without reservation, clearly and explicitly admitting to the crime of killing Shao Xin.

Later, due to his good attitude in admitting guilt, he was sentenced to life imprisonment.

He is currently serving his sentence at Xicheng Prison in S Province.

After reading Liu Jinsong's file, Yu Dazhang laughed in anger.

Are you kidding me!

What Yu Dazhang could not figure out the most was...

Even if there was no complete chain of evidence back then, so many years have already passed.

Why has the case never been overturned?
