Chapter 111

At a glance, there were already nearly 200 people!

At this rate, after a while, the scene might become impossible to control.

Even if someone left, it would be hard to spot who the killer was.

Fortunately, the police station found the surveillance footage quickly.

Since very few cars traveled on this road, several officers searched simultaneously, and it didn't take long to filter out the matching vehicle.

Among them, a black sedan had gone back and forth on this road many times within a single day.

Especially its license plate number—it was actually from Kyoto!

Now the case was becoming clearer and clearer.

The deceased was from Kyoto, and the car also had a Kyoto license plate.

To say there was no connection between the two would be almost impossible!

The police station immediately began investigating the surveillance footage of the black sedan with the Kyoto license plate from the past few days.

Sure enough!

The one who withdrew the money was also him!

And just then, a commotion suddenly broke out in the crowd!

A man wearing sunglasses and a baseball cap tried to leave but was stopped by the police.

Seeing he wasn't allowed to leave, the man started making a scene on the spot and even tried to force his way through.

But he didn't know that his outfit had already been targeted, and a group of police officers immediately rushed over and pinned him down.

Captain Wang and Fang Yang also walked over.

The moment they took off the man's hat and glasses!

The police officer behind them exclaimed: "It's him!"

Fang Yang also recognized him; this person was indeed the man who withdrew the money in the surveillance footage, and he also discovered that this person was the same strange man he had seen in the morning.

No wonder he didn't even know his clothes were inside out this morning!

Now he also felt the truth of the case had come to light.

Watching the police control him, the man yelled a bit crazily: "I want to go home, why won't you let me go home? Are the police being unreasonable?"

"Everyone look, the police are hitting people! Hurry and call the police!"

The crowd was completely confused. Call the police?

Aren't these the police right here? What else is there to report!

But the fact that the police suddenly stopped them from leaving made them a bit scared too.

They were somewhat panicked, but no one dared to stand up and speak.

Captain Wang looked at the man pinned to the ground with a serious expression: "Do you know why we're arresting you?"

With his face pressed against the ground and breathing with difficulty, the man glared fiercely at Captain Wang: "I didn't break the law, why are you arresting me!"

"Didn't break the law? Then why were you running? What were you panicking about?"

"I was in a hurry to go home and sleep, is that not allowed?"

"Looks like you intend to keep playing tough!"

Captain Wang looked at the surrounding crowd and shouted loudly: "Everyone, don't panic. A female corpse was found on the hill just now. The killer's methods were extremely cruel. According to our current investigation, we have sufficient evidence to prove that this person is a major suspect, so don't be misled by him!"

Once these words were spoken, the surrounding crowd immediately calmed down, and a buzz of noise arose in the crowd.

"I knew it, why would the police arrest people for no reason."

"Scared me to death, I thought I was going to be arrested today."

"I've heard before that killers always return to the crime scene; I didn't expect it to be true."

"Look at how that guy is dressed so tightly; you can tell at a glance he's no good."

Hearing the crowd's discussion, Captain Wang also felt relieved.

If any misunderstanding arose between the police and the public, exacerbating social tensions, then he would truly be at great fault.

Fortunately, most people were sensible and trusted the police.

Fang Yang looked at the man on the ground, who was still being stubborn, and squatted down to look at him: "The deceased is Yu Qing, 32 years old, from Kyoto. Cause of death: eight stab wounds, every one fatal. If I'm not mistaken, the relationship between you two should be quite intimate, right?"

Who would have thought the man on the ground would suddenly yell after hearing this: "I'm not close to her!"

Hiss~~~

Many people were suddenly awakened upon hearing this sentence.

Not close?

That means they knew each other?

Doesn't this mean he just confessed without being asked?

The man also realized he had said the wrong thing, and his face changed drastically!

He hadn't expected that a slip of the tongue would directly sentence him to death.

Fang Yang was also a bit confused. Wasn't it supposed to be a crime of passion? Could this guy be acting?

"You still want to quibble? We have already found out that you used the deceased's bank card and ID to withdraw 8 million in batches from the bank, which I happened to dig up in the dirt today. And the black sedan you've been driving these past few days also has a Kyoto license plate; I think that should belong to the deceased as well!"

Upon hearing this, the man's face turned ashen; he knew he had nowhere left to run.

Captain Wang suddenly shouted: "Do you think you still have a chance? Take him away, we'll interrogate him this afternoon!"

However, Fang Yang hurried over and stopped Captain Wang: "Brother Wang, I have something I want to ask. Can you wait a moment before taking him away? I keep feeling like something is still not right!"

Captain Wang frowned; this was unconventional, but Fang Yang's words made him realize there was a problem, so he nodded.

Fang Yang thought for a moment and said: "You just said you weren't close to the deceased? We've reached this point, there's no point in lying anymore!"

Who knew the man's eyes would widen: "I was never close to her, I only met her once!"

"Once? Are you sure?" Fang Yang was shocked.

You have to know that the cause of death given by the system was a crime of passion!

But the problem is that the man in front of him only met her once!

And from his tone, one could tell they weren't close at all!

If that's really the case, could he not be the killer?

This really confused him.

The man replied simply with two words: "Sure!"

Captain Wang looked at Fang Yang a bit strangely: "What's wrong? Is something not right? He should be the killer, right!"

Fang Yang shook his head: "I can't be sure right now. I'll tell you once I've confirmed my thoughts!"

Immediately, he looked at the man again: "You killed her after only meeting her once. Was it for money?"

Who knew the man on the ground would reply: "I didn't intend to rob her at first. Later, when I thought about how rich she was, I asked her for her bank card password. I didn't expect there to be 8 million in the card. I thought about withdrawing it and hiding it, then taking it back after the heat died down."

The more he said, the more confused Fang Yang became.

This sounds clearly like murder for money; it has nothing to do with a crime of passion.

Suddenly, he thought of the 300,000 in the other bucket, which he still hadn't figured out the reason for.

"Why did you bury the 300,000 with the body? Why wasn't it with the previous 8 million?"

"That 300,000 was the murder fee, it's different!"

Once these words were spoken, the whole scene was shocked!

A murder fee!

Doesn't this mean this person is just a hitman, and there's a mastermind behind the scenes!

Captain Wang finally understood why Fang Yang kept asking; it seemed he had discovered something long ago. Now he couldn't get a word in and could only watch quietly.

Fang Yang finally figured it out; no wonder there was 300,000 kept separately.

It turned out to be a murder fee.

No wonder the system said it was a crime of passion; it seems the person who truly wanted the deceased's life was someone else.

Fang Yang asked again: "Who told you to kill the deceased?"

"I've never met him, but he reached out twice. The first time was when this woman came to see me!"

Now everyone was completely dumbfounded.

What does that mean?

They couldn't understand at all.

The deceased had actually taken the initiative to find the killer before?
