I Sent You to Take the College Entrance Exam, and You Ended Up Solving a Murder Case?! - Chapter 47

They were all busy going back and forth between this small rental house and the underground parking garage.

Taking photos, collecting evidence, extracting fingerprints, collecting trace evidence…

All the on-site work was finally completed around 1 a.m.

The technical investigation team towed away the black Mercedes-Benz, and the door of room 1105 was sealed with a seal from the Municipal Public Security Bureau’s Criminal Investigation Department.

On the way back to the municipal bureau, the atmosphere in the car was somewhat somber.

After working non-stop for more than ten hours, everyone was exhausted.

But the thought of solving the case filled everyone with a sense of excitement.

The building of the Municipal Public Security Bureau’s Criminal Investigation Department was brightly lit.

As Chen Mo led his men into the office, he saw Liu Chengpei waiting at the door.

“Director!”

“You’re back?” Liu Chengpei’s face beamed with obvious joy as he patted Chen Mo on the shoulder. “Where is he? Did you catch him?”

“They’ve caught him and sent him to the temporary detention room.” Chen Mo nodded.

“Great! Great!” Liu Chengpei said happily, repeating “great” twice.

“I knew it! With your Fifth Team on the case, there’s no case you can’t solve!”

His gaze swept over the crowd, finally settling on Chen Mo.

“By the way, what about those two young men who were subletting the apartment and were caught before?”

“He’s still being held in the interrogation room.”

Chen Mo replied, “I suspect they have no direct connection with the suspect, but further interrogation is needed to confirm.”

“Hmm.” Liu Chengpei nodded, his expression turning serious.

“The case must be handled well, but there must be no mistakes in the procedure.”

“We need to thoroughly investigate every aspect, including witness testimony and physical evidence.”

“clear.”

“Alright, you’ve worked so hard for so long, go and investigate now.”

Liu Chengpei waved his hand.

“After the interrogation, I’ll have the canteen give you all special treatment. Every single one of you in the entire Fifth Squadron, I’ll treat you to a midnight snack tonight!”

“Yay! Long live the section chief!”

“Thank you, Director!”

As soon as Liu Chengpei finished speaking, a cheer erupted in the office.

Chen Mo smiled helplessly and turned to walk towards the interrogation room.

In the interrogation room, Wang Tao, the suspect who had been shot in the calf, sat arrogantly in a chair.

“Name.”

“Wang Tao”.

“age.”

Thirty-one.

“Profession.”

Unemployed.

During the question-and-answer session, Wang Tao’s attitude was extremely uncooperative, and his face even carried a mocking expression.

Chen Mo wasn’t angry; she just looked at him quietly.

Since that’s the case…

Chen Mo’s fingertips tapped lightly on the table.

“Thump…thump…thump…”

The rhythmic tapping echoed in the quiet interrogation room.

At first, Wang Tao didn’t care, but gradually, his eyes became unfocused and his eyelids became heavier and heavier.

“Look me in the eyes.”

Wang Tao’s gaze involuntarily drew to Chen Mo’s eyes.

“You’re tired, you want to sleep.”

“Close your eyes and get a good night’s sleep.”

Wang Tao’s head bobbed little by little until it finally drooped completely, and he began to breathe evenly.

Wu Che and Liu Chengpei, standing behind the one-way glass, were completely dumbfounded.

“This… he fell asleep just like that?” Wu Che rubbed his eyes, his face full of disbelief. “Boss, what kind of operation is this? Hypnosis?”

Liu Chengpei’s pupils also contracted slightly, and his gaze towards Chen Mo became more inquisitive.

“What’s your name?” Chen Mo’s voice rang out again.

“Wang Tao,” Wang Tao answered mechanically in his sleep.

Why did you kill Song Yin?

“She deserves to die.”

“Why?”

“They all deserve to die.”

Wang Tao’s voice was completely devoid of emotion.

“They are like rats in the sewers, filthy and despicable.”

“They move from one city to another, and even if they disappear, no one will care.”

Outside the interrogation room, Wu Che clenched his fists as he listened.

“That bastard!”

Chen Mo continued, “How many did you kill in total?”

“two.”

“Who is the other one?”

“I don’t remember the name. It was in the next city, about six months ago.”

What was your original plan?

“Tonight, go to 1707 and kill that woman. Then leave Shu City and go to the next place.”

Having gotten the answer he wanted, Chen Mo snapped his fingers.

“Smack!”

Wang Tao suddenly woke up with a start, looking around blankly.

“How…how did I fall asleep?”

Chen Mo stood up, did not answer him, and walked straight out of the interrogation room.

“Director.”

“Have you asked everything clearly?” Liu Chengpei’s expression was solemn.

“Understood.” Chen Mo briefly recounted the interrogation.

After listening, Liu Chengpei remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking.

“Immediately contact our sister unit in the neighboring city to verify the situation of the other victim.”

“In addition, interrogate Yuan Tong and his girlfriend immediately. Once you confirm that there are no problems, release them.”

“yes!”

Half an hour later, Yuan Tong and his girlfriend, who had been locked up for a day, arrived.

Finally confirmed to be unrelated to the case, he walked out of the city police station trembling.

Meanwhile, according to Wang Tao’s confession, the technical investigation team found themselves in a remote garbage dump.

They found the Adidas sneakers he was wearing when he committed the crime.

During the subsequent interrogation, Wang Tao completely gave up resistance.

He admitted that the shoes were a limited edition he bought from a private channel abroad, and they were not available in China.

The reason he sublet the house to Yuan Tong, who also owned a pair of high-quality counterfeit shoes, was a smokescreen he deliberately set up.

He wanted to mislead the police investigation to buy himself more time to commit the crime and escape.

Unfortunately, despite all his calculations, he didn’t anticipate that Chen Mo wouldn’t play by the rules at all.

All the follow-up work was completed by 3 a.m.

Liu Chengpei kept his promise, and the cafeteria chef had already prepared a sumptuous late-night snack.

In the Fifth Squadron’s office, the aroma of barbecue mingled with the foam of beer, and everyone was immersed in the joy of solving the case.

“Tomorrow, everyone will have a day off!” Liu Chengpei raised his glass and announced loudly.

Another thunderous cheer erupted.

Two days later, all the evidence was completely sealed, the case files were compiled, and the case was officially transferred to the prosecution.

The sensational “Sichuan City Beauty Corpse Case” has now been completely solved.

As expected, a cold system notification sounded in Chen Mo’s mind.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully solving the “serial murder case” and receiving a reward.]

[200,000 RMB in cash, 3,000 experience points, and the skill “Hunter’s Eye”!]

[Hunter’s Eye: After locking onto a target, it can obtain the target’s basic information and real-time psychological activities.]

The Fifth Squadron also enjoyed a well-deserved holiday.

Wu Che suggested in the group chat that everyone should take their families out for a get-together during this holiday.

The proposal was immediately met with a positive response from everyone.

Guan Yuexing: “I’ll be in charge of bringing the grill and charcoal!”

Qiu Xiangyang: “I’ll cover the drinks!”

Wu Che tagged Chen Mo.

“Boss, just come! And your wife… could you bring her too?”

The proposal for a holiday barbecue party ultimately fell through for various reasons.

Some people wanted to go home to visit their parents, some wanted to take their wives and children to the amusement park, and some wanted to meet up with friends they hadn’t seen in a long time.

Chen Mo was happy to have some free time.
