Chapter 756: Eating from Someone's Mouth Makes You Soft, Taking from Their Hand Makes You Short

You're dead meat; even Jesus couldn't save you... Yu Dazhang replied in his heart.

He could never say such words to his face, let alone use them to respond to Gu Ding Wen.

He was a criminal investigator, not a judge.

Even a judge could not make such a definitive conclusion directly; the final verdict must still be rendered according to the law.

However...

A suspect like Gu Ding Wen, implicated in trafficking so many women, would certainly face execution once the case was classified.

The crimes committed were extremely heinous, the social impact extremely severe; from any angle, he could not receive lenient punishment.

Not using machine guns to mow him down already counted as lenient treatment.

"Your final verdict will be decided by the court."

Yu Dazhang replied vaguely:

"If you have major meritorious performance, we will report it truthfully, and it can serve as a statutory sentencing circumstance."

Given Gu Ding Wen's crimes, death was certain; even with major meritorious performance, at best he could only fight for a suspended sentence.

Unless he made major contributions to humanity while awaiting judgment, such as curing cancer or the like.

However, in past cases, such an event had occurred only once.

"I have checked the relevant laws."

Gu Ding Wen seemed particularly interested in the topic of sentencing:

"Currently, commercial surrogacy within the country does not violate the criminal law, and I am a specialist physician in gynecology; among the women I have handled for surrogacy, no medical accidents have ever occurred."

The more he spoke, the more excited he became:

"You can investigate; those women who underwent surrogacy are all fine. Not to mention life-threatening risks, not even a single serious illness has occurred."

"I made them conceive safely; this is surely far better than letting them fall into the hands of those black-market intermediaries, isn't it?"

As he spoke further, Gu Ding Wen's voice grew quieter and quieter:

"I also..."

Seemingly realizing he had made a logical error, he suddenly stopped.

Yu Dazhang, suppressing his anger, waited until he could no longer speak before opening his mouth:

"You also trafficked women, forcing those women to become surrogacy tools; they are living human beings, yet you treated them as mere containers."

Facts speak louder than words.

No matter how skilled Gu Ding Wen was at sophistry, in the face of facts, his so-called reasons were pale and ridiculous.

"Those people were not trafficked by me; I simply paid to purchase them..."

Gu Ding Wen's voice was as faint as a mosquito's hum; had Yu Dazhang's hearing not been beyond that of ordinary people, he might truly have struggled to hear clearly.

This was sheer sophistry.

Gu Ding Wen probably knew such a reason could not hold water, which was why he lacked the courage to say it aloud.

Yu Dazhang no longer wished to discuss this topic with him, for it was meaningless.

Moreover, he could not provide the comfort Gu Ding Wen wanted.

Just then, the interrogation room door was pushed open; Captain Xu poked his head in and nodded to Yu Dazhang.

Stepping outside, Yu Dazhang looked at him and asked:

"What's wrong?"

"Ye Zhiyu has arrived," Captain Xu replied quickly:

"Xia Bin will arrive soon; he should be here within another hour."

Yu Dazhang understood his meaning: they wanted Gu Ding Wen to rest briefly before the sketching began.

When a person remains in a state of tension for too long, memory is affected; appropriate rest can effectively alleviate fatigue and stress, thereby helping to better recall relevant details.

"Take Gu Ding Wen down; let him rest for a while. You may provide him with some food."

Yu Dazhang instructed:

"Once Xia Bin arrives, have Ye Zhiyu help Gu Ding Wen recover his memory and strive to complete the sketch as soon as possible."

Through the interrogation just now, he had gained a general understanding of the entire case's background and sequence of events.

Although the whole matter appeared intricate and complex, as long as each link was sorted out one by one, the full picture of the incident could be reconstructed.
