Gene Fusion System: Crime Hunter

Fortunately, Zhao Donglai was leading the interrogation this time, so it's his headache to deal with. Luo Fei placed his notebook on the table in front of him and calmly waited for Zhao Donglai to perform.

Seeing Wang Wenbin causing trouble without reason, Zhao Donglai lost his temper. He slammed the table and shouted coldly, "Enough, Wang Wenbin. What do you think this place is? This is the Criminal Police Team, not a place where you can run wild!"

Having been the captain of the Criminal Police Team for so many years, his aura was still quite intimidating, and Wang Wenbin didn't dare to act recklessly.

He could only mutter in a low voice, "Ask away, why the rage... fine, hurry up if you're going to ask. Anyway, I haven't killed anyone!"

By repeatedly emphasizing this, it actually showed his guilty conscience.

But Zhao Donglai did not choose to press the advantage; instead, he picked up the case file, "Wang Wenbin, let me ask you, what were you doing on the fifth of this month? Please describe it in detail."

He could already see that the other party had no intention of confessing easily, so he didn't ask foolish questions like 'Did you kill Xu Mingqing?'. After all, he wouldn't confess even if asked this way, and it would likely put him on high alert and cause him to not answer truthfully.

His plan was to use indirect questioning, finding breaks in his verbal defense to pry open his mouth!

Upon hearing that he wasn't being asked about the murder, Wang Wenbin's expression indeed relaxed.

He said, "Collecting scrap."

"Where were you collecting? From what time to what time, and what did you do afterward? Can anyone vouch for you? Be specific!"

"It's been several days, how would I remember everything? Besides, I really didn't kill anyone, so why all these questions?"

Zhao Donglai slapped the table again loudly, "Please answer the questions seriously and don't change the subject. If you can't remember everything, just say what you do remember!"

"Alright, that day I went to Fruit Village to collect scrap, from around eight in the morning until a little after one, after which I sold the scrap to the scrap station boss, then went home to sleep."

"And between two in the afternoon and two the next morning? Where were you during that time?"

"At home, of course. I was sleeping at home the whole day."

Pretending not to notice the suspicious look on his face, Zhao Donglai continued to question, "Is there anyone who can vouch for you?"

"I live alone, no one can vouch for me, anyway, I didn't leave home that whole day, believe it or not!"

"Alright, take a look at this person and see if you've seen them before."

Zhao Donglai took out a photo of Xu Mingqing from the file and placed it in front of Wang Wenbin.

"Never seen, don't know him."

Wang Wenbin's eyes darted around, shaking his head quickly without even looking properly, denying.

Panicking like this yet still denying, Zhao Donglai didn't know whether to admire his mindset or pity it.

"Wang Wenbin, I should remind you, anyone sitting here under interrogation means we have concrete evidence. I advise you to speak the truth, or your crimes will only get worse! Do you understand?"

"But, officer, I really don't know this person, what truth do you want me to say...?"

"Wang Wenbin, you really don't shed a tear until you see the coffin, huh! Fine, let me ask you, you said you don't know him, so how do you explain we found his clothes and body parts in your rental house?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Wenbin's expression visibly panicked.

But he still stubbornly insisted, "That, that was something I picked up, alright!"

"You picked up?"

"Yes, I usually collect scrap, so I often rummage through trash bins. That day I happened to find a set of clothes in the trash bin. They looked quite new, so I thought of taking them home, washing them, and wearing them myself, is it now illegal to pick clothes from the trash bins?"

Unexpectedly, he could even find this excuse, leaving Zhao Donglai exasperated with a livid face.

Blood-stained clothes, what normal person would pick them up and take them home? Did he really take him for a fool?

But even knowing he was lying, Zhao Donglai couldn't prove the clothes weren't picked up, so he couldn't do much about him for the moment.

After calming down, he said with a serious face, "Fine, clothes could be picked up, but what about the things in the box? Were those picked up too?"

This time he wanted to see how he would wriggle out of it!

Without thinking, Wang Wenbin immediately said, "Right, I picked those up too!"

He didn't care whether anyone believed him; he was determined to stick to his story: whatever, that's what I said, what can you do about it?

Zhao Donglai had to admit, he was utterly impressed.

In all his years of handling cases, he had encountered many who tried to play tricks, but someone who could lie with their eyes wide open, yet with such aplomb, was a first.

Fuming, yet he actually found himself amused, "Wang Wenbin, do you really take us all for fools? If you can 'pick up' these items, then go and pick another one for me! And you, a normal person, seeing such things wouldn't think of calling the police and instead bring it home, who would believe you?"

"Officer, you can't put it like that. I just happened to run into it, didn't know it was human, thought it was some animal. As for why I took it home, that's personal preference, you can't control that, can you?"

"Enough of this, Wang Wenbin. This is not a place for petty tricks. If you don't cooperate and tell the truth, we'll just hang on here. Let's see who can outlast whom!"

"I've already said what I'm stating is the truth. If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do."

Seeing Zhao Donglai jumping in rage, Wang Wenbin instead lost his earlier panic, replacing it with smugness and provocation.

Silently thinking to himself, it seems these cops aren't that tough, they can't do anything to me after all?

Looks like as long as I insist on not having killed anyone, they can't convict me and will have to let me go.

Outside the interrogation room, Yang Su and others watched this scene and couldn't help but feel a bit anxious.

"This guy is shameless."

"Does he really think we have no way around if he keeps denying? Are our gathered pieces of evidence just a joke?"

"Don't say that, if he clings on and doesn't confess, it might indeed be tricky! Remember the case in Songjiang County before, it got sent back for re-investigation several times because the suspect didn't confess, dragged on for half a year. If the suspect hadn't eventually succumbed, who knows how long it would have dragged on."

Wang Lei said with a stern expression.

"That was because that case didn't have concrete evidence, but Wang Wenbin's case is full of evidence. I don't believe we can't convict him," Sun Jun said.

The others listened and couldn't help but become more anxious.

Zhaocheng particularly agitatedly said, "I hope the team leader and Zhao team will give some power, I don't want to drag on with this pervert for half a year!"

Inside the interrogation room, Wang Wenbin's beautifully naive plan started to shatter.

Just when he thought no one could handle him, a voice came suddenly, "You can deny all these, but we extracted your bodily fluids from Xu Mingqing's rectum, how do you explain that?"

Upon his return, Yang Mei had already collected Wang Wenbin's blood sample, planning to compare it with the fluids found on the deceased.

Although DNA results would take some time, it didn't stop Luo Fei from using it to shake him up.

Sure enough, Wang Wenbin, who was just denying ceaselessly, immediately panicked and lost his previous smugness.

He coldly looked at Wang Wenbin, "Wang Wenbin, with the evidence we currently have, we can fully prove your guilt. Even if you don't admit it, it doesn't matter."

"So, I advise you to give up on futile resistance and confess your crime's course of events. You might still strive for lenient handling! Otherwise, when it comes to conviction and you want to confess, it'll be too late!"
