It was my fault as your teacher for being too impulsive.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Chuang sighed and winced, looking utterly remorseful, making Yu Dazhang frown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Come on, keep talking… He noticed Wei Chuang’s expressions changed frequently—so many shifts in just a few moments—but still no real answers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, it wasn’t entirely fruitless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From Wei Chuang’s earlier words, Yu Dazhang deduced that the incident involved Wei Chuang accompanying him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I shouldn’t have asked you to come with me,” he could only go along with Wei Chuang’s line now:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ultimately, it’s all my fault.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Chuang was about to reply when his wife walked out of the kitchen; she first shot him a glare, then said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why bring up the past? You’re in household registration now—what’s the point of talking about this anymore?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the woman runs the house, the walls collapse… Yu Dazhang gritted his teeth, his hand beneath the table slowly clenching into a fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We were having a pleasant little mutual probing—you, as his wife, just go wash your dishes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do you even have the right to interfere?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you were as fat as me, you’d kill yourself—talk is cheap when you’re standing upright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He realized Wei Chuang was afraid of his wife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder—whose wife wouldn’t make him dizzy, especially after being transferred to the most dead-end department: household registration?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Dazhang guessed Wei Chuang had already lost all say at home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly, Wei Chuang suddenly stood his ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you butting in for, talking between men?!” He glared fiercely, stood up, and pointed at his wife, as if ready to fight:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In your eyes, is there anything besides money?

It’s all my fault.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It has nothing to do with you,” Wei Chuang sat back down and sighed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You don’t know—I’ve been suffering inside and out for the past year. I’ve wanted to yell at her for ages.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Dazhang offered a few more words of comfort, then shifted the topic:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did you investigate further after that incident?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was pure fishing for information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no idea what had happened—but he still had to steer the conversation toward that incident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more they talked, the more clues he might uncover; for now, he could only pretend he knew everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Da Zhang,” Wei Chuang suddenly changed expression, looking at Yu Dazhang with deep concern:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The best outcome is that you’re back—just focus on your work and stop dwelling on that incident.” What incident exactly… Yu Dazhang was nearly driven mad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder he’d been a police academy instructor—answered every question, never slipped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What a talent!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I refuse to believe it… Yu Dazhang deliberately glanced toward the bedroom, then lowered his voice, speaking mysteriously:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aren’t you curious about what I went through during those nine months I disappeared?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The trick worked perfectly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He noticed Wei Chuang’s lips parted slightly and his eyebrows lifted just a fraction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The movement was tiny, but Yu Dazhang caught it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These two micro-expressions proved Wei Chuang was intensely curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“C-can you tell me?” His voice stuttered—he was clearly nervous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course I can—but…” Yu Dazhang deliberately drew out the word, buying time to think of what to say next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t possibly describe what he’d experienced—but he could use this topic to extract information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Please... collect 6...9...books....!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You have to tell me first where we went,” Yu Dazhang feigned curiosity:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My memory isn’t fully restored—I only remember what happened later, but not how it started.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coming up with this excuse used nearly all of Yu Dazhang’s brain cells.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forming a flawless excuse during a gap in their conversation was hellishly difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Wei Chuang didn’t suspect a thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You don’t remember where you went?” He thought for a moment, then said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So during those nine months you were missing, you were locked in a sealed room?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yep,” Yu Dazhang nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just tell me already—I can’t keep making this up… He felt Wei Chuang was trying to trap him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The interrogation techniques he learned at police academy were used by Wei Chuang with masterful precision; Yu Dazhang even suspected he’d developed the habit unconsciously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Incoherent memory is indeed bad—it hinders your brain’s recovery.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Chuang spoke, showing an understanding expression, then recalled as he continued:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“On April 28th last year, you suddenly came to me and asked me to accompany you somewhere.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mm-hmm~” Yu Dazhang’s eyes widened, staring at him expectantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I refused at first, but you kept pressing me for two days straight.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Chuang paused here, as if regretting he hadn’t held firm to his principles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Dazhang dared not interrupt, just stared blankly at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief silence, Wei Chuang continued:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You said there’d be danger, but also that you’d save many lives.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I urged you to report it to the police, but you said only by finding evidence there would they open a case.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So on April 30th, I went with you to Xiaofeng Mountain on the city outskirts—and then…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he heard “Xiaofeng Mountain,” Yu Dazhang shot to his feet as if shocked by electricity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face twisted with shock, panic, and disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stared intently into Wei Chuang’s eyes:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We went to the abandoned radar station on the mountain?!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1155,"2026-06-20T14:22:46.062Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","6d5d1a3cd8b371954c60a5aa93a3b48cee275f876b6b16f2bc15b0ab2333ea0e","reborn-in-2014-i-am-the-king-of-criminal-investi-chapter-67","reborn-in-2014-i-am-the-king-of-criminal-investi-chapter-65",763,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freborn-in-2014-i-am-the-king-of-criminal-investi-cover.jpg"]
