In the courtyard.

Guan Feng looked at Li Yang: "Where did you go last night around 10 PM? What did you do?"

Li Yang said, "I...I went to school."

"Go to school?"

Seeing that Li Yang was telling the truth, Guan Feng softened his tone slightly and asked, "What did you do at school?"

Li Yang said in a serious tone, "That's my alma mater. Even though I was expelled, I always think about it. It's reasonable for me to go in and take a look, right?"

Guan Feng: "???"

Huang Lili: "???"

Everyone: "???"

Guan Feng glanced at Li Yang with annoyance, nodded and said, "That's reasonable! We need your cooperation in investigating some things, so it's reasonable for us to ask you to come back to the station with us, right?"

Li Yang's expression changed.

He hesitated and said, "I already said I just wanted to go back to my alma mater for a visit. Why are you taking me back to the bureau? How is that reasonable?"

Guan Feng said, "Wipe the sweat from your forehead before you say that, it will sound more sincere!"

Li Yang: "..."

He hesitated before asking, "What exactly do you want?"

Guan Feng said, "It's very simple! Explain the whole story clearly, without hiding anything. This is no longer an ordinary theft case, but a murder case!"

"What? A murder case?"

Li Yang's voice rose instantly, and he looked at Guan Feng with disbelief, asking, "What do you mean? Someone died?"

Guan Feng said, "A foreign female teacher! Yoshiko Nishimura!"

Li Yang: "...This...how is this possible? I did it last night..."

Guan Feng scrutinized Li Yang's expression and asked, "Do you think the police would come to your house so quickly if they had no leads? If you don't confess anything, you're the prime suspect!"

Li Yang was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "How did I become the prime suspect? I just went to steal some money, really just some money! How could I dare to kill someone? I wouldn't dare even if you gave me a hundred lives!"

"Where's the money? How can you prove it?"

Guan Feng looked at Li Yang.

Li Yang blurted out, "They're all in my TV cabinet. I really just stole a little money... No, are you trying to trick me?"

Guan Feng said coldly, "Trying to trick you? Look closely! This is the Major Crimes Unit's work ID! Do you think an ordinary theft case would attract us to come all this way? If you still don't realize the seriousness of the matter, then go wash your face and wake up right now!"

Li Yang's expression immediately wilted as he stared at Guan Feng's serious crime squad work ID.

No way?

This looks like... could someone really be dead?

Li Yang instantly felt overwhelmed.

Seeing this, Guan Feng was too lazy to argue any further and said to Liu Shengguo, "Go to the TV cabinet he mentioned and take out that money."

"receive!"

Liu Shengguo secretly gave Guan Feng a thumbs up, then put on gloves and went to collect evidence.

A moment later.

A stack of cash was withdrawn.

Guan Feng looked at Li Yang and asked, "Is that all?"

Li Yang nodded somewhat dejectedly and said, "Yes."

Guan Feng asked, "Is there anything else?"

Li Yang shook his head and said, "No, that's all! I only stole these things."

Guan Feng noticed that Li Yang's right eyelid twitched involuntarily when he spoke. Liu Shengguo, Zhao Yang, and others also noticed this detail and looked at Guan Feng, because this was one of the classic characteristics that Guan Feng had mentioned in his lecture a couple of days ago.

Guan Feng said calmly, "Still not behaving? Then keep searching! Search every room!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yang immediately said, "No! No! Isn't it unnecessary to go to such lengths? I... I confess! Actually, I also stole a necklace, which was in the bedside table. I was planning to sell it at a jewelry store in the next couple of days."

Guan Feng asked, "Without invoices or other documents, will they accept it?"

Li Yang said, "They are all regular customers, so naturally they are willing to accept it."

Guan Feng asked Liu Shengguo to find more gold bars, then looked at Li Yang and asked, "Where exactly is this shop?"

Li Yang gave an address.

Upon hearing that it was in the development zone, Guan Feng said to Zhao Yang, "Zhao Yang, call your development zone and tell them to investigate this gold shop. Since they're doing business with Li Yang, there's no reason they shouldn't do business with other people. Maybe pulling up one radish will lead to another, and it could be a case of some size."

Zhao Yang naturally nodded in agreement.

This is practically a gift delivered to their doorstep; it would be strange if the development zone didn't want to accept it.

He immediately made a phone call.

A moment later, he hung up the phone and walked back to Guan Feng, saying, "Captain, Captain Qin said he already knows and will take some men to the store to take a look. He also asked me to thank you in particular and said he'd like to invite you to dinner sometime!"

Team Leader Qin is the captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Development Zone Branch.

As a member of the serious crime squad, and having been instructed by Guan Feng, Zhao Yang's communication must have been with a person at the level of the captain.

Only someone of this caliber deserves such a favor.

Guan Feng said, "That's good to know! Let's go back to school."

Liu Shengguo asked, "Aren't we going to take him back to the station for questioning?"

Guan Feng shook his head and said, "There's no time! Interrogate him directly at the school. There are offices on the first floor, right? We can use that as a temporary interrogation room. We can have him identify the scene together."

Liu Shengguo nodded and escorted Li Yang into the car.

More than ten minutes later.

The car returned to the dormitory building.

Guan Feng led Li Yang directly into the office on the first floor.

Just then, Gao Dacheng finished inspecting the room with the technical team and came to Guan Feng to report, "Captain, all the relevant tests have been completed. Several fingerprints have been extracted. I heard that Li Yang was brought back? Should we compare them?"

Guan Feng nodded and said, "Tell Lao Yang to do some physical analysis on Li Yang, including fingerprinting."

For high achievements, contact Li Yang.

A short while later.

Old Yang brought two team members over for testing.

Two minutes later.

Fingerprint recognition matching successful.

Two of the five fingerprints found in Nishimura Yoshiko's apartment matched Li Yang's.

Li Yang's identity as a suspect has been basically confirmed.

Five minutes later.

Li Yang's physical characteristics were detected.

Old Yang stared at the data sheet and was stunned: "1.75 meters tall, 128 kilograms. I mean, Captain Guan, if I didn't know how capable you are, I would have suspected that you just found this person to fool me."

Guan Feng said, "I'd like to find one, but the fingerprint doesn't match!"

Old Yang gave a serious thumbs up and exclaimed, "Captain Guan is amazing! I, Old Yang, am completely convinced."

Guan Feng asked, "Where were these two fingerprints found?"

Old Yang said, "One is by the bedroom window, and the other is in front of the bedside table."

Guan Feng immediately pictured Li Yang jumping in through the bedroom window and then stealing from Nishimura Miko while she was sleeping.

He turned to Gao Dacheng and instructed him, "Dacheng, take two men to interrogate Li Yang. This kid knows a little about hiding his emotions, so he's perfect for practice. If you don't understand anything, ask me later."

Gao Dacheng immediately perked up and said, "Understood! I will definitely live up to the captain's expectations!"

Guan Feng continued to communicate with Lao Yang about the evidence at the scene.
