CHAPTER 775: CHAPTER 775: ABNORMAL INTERROGATION

"What, another suicide." Ye Shikai suddenly stood up, startling the classmates beside him who turned to look at him.

"Brother-in-law, why did you use the word... again?"

"Uh, it’s nothing." Ye Shikai evasively said, not wanting to involve Su Ziqing in this case, as it was a matter for the police.

That being said, the female student must have been very desperate before her death. Even though she was a victim, she was "hunted down to extinction." No one dared to stand up for justice or argue on her behalf. It was like being in the darkness, unable to see the light, choosing an extreme way to create ripples on the calm surface of water.

Ye Shikai could guess that the harassing phone calls and text messages were probably Yu Xuebin’s revenge. It could be said that the female student’s suicide was largely due to him. Now thinking about it, even Ye Shikai himself felt that such a person deserved to die.

"Now the school is in chaos because of this affair, everyone is talking about it everywhere." Su Ziqing sighed.

Indeed, the occurrence of such a worm in the ivory tower that many people aspire to had suddenly become the focus of public opinion. Ye Shikai checked his phone and saw headlines like "unethical professor murdered" everywhere, and some media even generalized biased views, criticizing the entire Yanjing University.

What made Ye Shikai more anxious was that they still had no clue about the murderer. As Zhang Ting said, the murderer had premeditated the murder, had prepared well in advance, and left no clues at the scene.

Now, they could only try to find some clues from the family members of the victims.

Police station.

"Ms. Song, hello." Ye Shikai and Zhang Ting sat on either side, while a modestly dressed middle-aged woman sat opposite them.

"Cough, Ms. Song, the reason we asked you here today is mainly to inquire about some matters regarding Chen Xietian, please cooperate with us," Ye Shikai spoke mildly.

"I have been divorced from him for over a year, and we haven’t had any contact since." The woman seemed eager to clarify her relationship, even before they asked, she preemptively answered.

"That’s not what we’re asking." Ye Shikai shook his head. "Please tell us if your ex-husband had any specific habits or characteristics."

"I don’t know."

"What time did he generally come home at night?"

"I don’t know."

"Do you know about his recent murder?"

"I don’t... know."

Twenty minutes later.

"This Song Rong, she says she doesn’t know to everything; is she really Chen Xietian’s ex-wife?" Outside the interrogation room, Zhang Ting complained to Ye Shikai, her face full of irritation.

"What, don’t you find it strange?" Ye Shikai smiled, pulling out a cigarette from his pocket and started smoking.

"A prominent lawyer, yet his ex-wife lives so frugally." Ye Shikai exhaled smoke, shifting the topic, "No makeup, clothes look very plain, and the leather shoes she’s wearing are somewhat worn out."

"The records show that Song Rong divorced Chen Xietian a year ago but did not receive any property at that time. Afterwards, without the financial support from Chen Xietian, naturally, she had no money."

"Her husband is a lawyer, competing against such a husband in court and winning would be strange," Ye Shikai disdainfully said, "do you know the reason they divorced?"

"How would I know? As you’ve seen, she doesn’t know anything," Zhang Ting said, rolling her eyes.

"Then just check the court records, there are records of the cases."

"I know."

"There’s one more thing, I think Song Rong probably knows the situation," Ye Shikai suddenly said in a low voice.

"Why?"

"In Yanjing, even in the entire country, the serial killings have caused an uproar. Do you think she wouldn’t know about them? Plus, when I was interrogating her earlier, her gaze was evasive, clearly lying," Ye Shikai said firmly.

"That’s true, I also felt something was off, behaving sneakily, must have a guilty conscience."

.....................

After a busy day, Ye Shikai returned home. Previously at Worm Sect, Wuyan treated him very well, the pain was much less compared to before, but it was still there daily, which means the Single Love Poisonous Insect wasn’t completely cured, just suppressed. It seems necessary to hasten the search for the person who used the poisonous insect on him.

"I heard recently you’ve been helping the police solve a case," Su Qingyu suddenly said in a cold voice at the dining table.

"Ah, yes, it’s a request from the higher-ups, I’m just following orders," Ye Shikai responded indifferently.

"What, brother-in-law, so you’ve been solving cases? No wonder you were asking me those questions today. How is it, is solving cases fun?" Su Ziqing immediately stood up excitedly upon hearing this, but after receiving a look from Su Qingyu, she could only dejectedly sit back down.

"Is it about the recent murder case?"

"Yes, have you also heard about it?" Ye Shikai nodded.

"There’s a lot of discussion online, I heard employees talking about it over lunch as well," Su Qingyu said indifferently. "I heard that the victims were social miscreants."

"Basically, yes. The latest victim, Yu Xuebin, you must know him as well."

"Yes, he was just a teacher when I was studying, I never thought he would be a Beast in Human Clothing," Su Qingyu said viciously.

"People can be deceptive by appearance, he’s been killed now, but I still have to catch the murderer."

"Brother-in-law, I saw online comments saying that the murderer is a hero, targeting those miscreants."

"Punishing the miscreants is the job of the police. Murdering is illegal, and calling them miscreants is just the murderer’s ’fig leaf’," Ye Shikai said seriously. The murderer uses this mindset, and now, most of the online comments praise the murderer, especially after the backgrounds of those victims were exposed, many are clapping their hands in approval.

"Qingqing, you should focus on your studies and stay out of these matters," Su Qingyu said, seeing that Ye Shikai was upset, and with that, Su Ziqing had no choice but to obediently eat her meal.

After dinner, Ye Shikai was browsing through each of the crime scene photos on the computer, hoping to find some clues, but reality wasn’t that cooperative.

"Ding Ling Ling." At that moment, a phone ringtone sounded, and Ye Shikai saw it was from Zhang Ting.

"Hello, is there something?"

"I sent you a few photos, this is what Yu Xuebin wrote before he died." Zhang Ting said and then hung up the call. Following that, several scene photos appeared, Yu Xuebin was lying on the table, holding a pen, and what Zhang Ting sent, was specifically those sheets of paper under the pen.

The writing was in red, and the police had also noticed that the pen was filled with red ink, but what piqued Ye Shikai’s curiosity was the content on those papers.

The development of contemporary economy... The economic gap between the East and West... Economic recovery post-crisis...

Ye Shikai looked from left to right but couldn’t quite understand; it seemed like Yu Xuebin was writing an academic paper.
