Invincible Young Master in the City
Chapter 574 - 574 570 The Real Culprit

574: Chapter 570: The Real Culprit 574: Chapter 570: The Real Culprit Xu Xiangli, Miao Jian, and others excitedly went to search for evidence, while Ye Fan also sat down on the sofa, facing Teacher Jin.

Facing Teacher Jin directly, Ye Fan felt no guilt in his heart; after all, this was about three lives, plus one wronged spirit.

“You seem to be a cheerful person, so why did you choose this path of no return?” Ye Fan asked, staring intently at Teacher Jin.

Teacher Jin tried to meet Ye Fan’s gaze fearlessly, but as soon as his eyes met Ye Fan’s stern look, he felt a stabbing pain and had to lower his head.

“I, I don’t know what you are talking about,” Teacher Jin argued weakly.

Ye Fan said, “The things you put in the drawer in your study, you haven’t moved them somewhere else yet, have you?”

Teacher Jin’s face changed color.

Just then, an excited cry came from the study: “Found it!

Found it!”

Next, Gao Jinian rushed out holding an amethyst pendant on a fine silver necklace, and others gathered around.

Teacher Jin no longer had the strength to feign innocence; he let out a long sigh and slumped onto the sofa.

After carefully placing the amethyst pendant and fine silver necklace into a transparent plastic bag used for evidence collection and setting it on the table, Xu Xiangli, Miao Jian, and the others continued their enthusiastic search for more evidence.

Ye Fan continued to watch Teacher Jin with piercing eyes.

After a moment, Teacher Jin sighed deeply and said with tears, “It’s better this way.

I’ve been full of sin and pain for so many years, and now I can finally be relieved.”

“I have utterly failed as a teacher…”

Half an hour later, Ye Fan put handcuffs on Teacher Jin and fetched a piece of clothing for him: “Wrap this around.

Class is still in session, so no students will see you.”

“Thank you,” said Teacher Jin, covering the handcuffs between his hands with the garment.

As the door opened, Ye Fan walked out, Gao Jinian and Geng Fuantong flanked Teacher Jin, one on each side, while Xu Xiangli and Miao Jian carried the evidence and suspicious items.

Wei Hanyuan and others were still waiting at the door; seeing Ye Fan come out and Teacher Jin, devoid of spirit and teary-faced, being escorted by two police officers, they all sighed in disappointment, realizing Teacher Jin must be the killer.

By this time, even a fool could tell Teacher Jin was indeed the culprit behind the serial killings.

As Ye Fan’s gaze swept over those like Wei Hanyuan, he suddenly spotted a pretty face.

The pretty face looked shocked and couldn’t help exclaiming: “Ye Fan?!”

It turned out that during this time, Su Mengchen returned to the dormitory and was surprised to see all the school leaders, including Wei Hanyuan, standing at her doorstep.

After asking around, she learned that something had happened to Teacher Jin.

However, she did not expect the person leading the arrest of Teacher Jin to be Ye Fan, whom she had invited over the previous night.

“Teacher Su, hello,” Ye Fan said calmly and seriously.

Su Mengchen came to her senses, suddenly covered her pretty face with her fair hands, and turned to rush into her home.

Seeing this, Ye Fan didn’t call out or follow her; he could only sigh inwardly, knowing Su Mengchen would likely feel guilty for a while, thinking she had brought a wolf into the house.

Taking advantage of the fact that class was still in session, Ye Fan led Teacher Jin away.

As they left the school gates, Wei Hanyuan had a school leader drive along with Ye Fan and the others to the police station, clearly worried that Ye Fan might abuse Teacher Jin.

On the drive back, with no outsiders present, Xu Xiangli excitedly looked at Ye Fan and laughed, “Commissar Ye, you’re amazing!

You solved such a big case in less than a day!”

Honestly, before getting into the police car, Xu Xiangli still felt it was inconceivable, as if she were dreaming.

The operation had gone too smoothly, with ample physical evidence, and the suspect had even confessed to the crime.

Ye Fan gave a faint smile and said, “It was just luck, this time it was a blind cat running into a dead mouse, I really don’t know how to investigate cases.

It’s a good thing my future responsibilities won’t involve investigating cases.”

“You’re being too modest,” Xu Xiangli said.

“Even if it was luck, you still need a certain foundation.

You’ve just arrived in Mingde County, a complete stranger to these parts, and yet you were able to find the killer inside Mingde High School.

That is definitely a display of skill!”

Ye Fan shook his head slightly, not arguing with Xu Xiangli.

Xu Xiangli was his subordinate, and her flattery at this moment was to be expected.

Although the case was solved, Ye Fan wasn’t very happy, just a bit regretful for Teacher Jin.

Just now, in the living room, Teacher Jin had come clean to him.

The reason Teacher Jin ended up this way was entirely due to long-standing psychological issues.

His girlfriend had scorned him for being a poor teacher and even aborted their baby to break up with him.

And Teacher Jin was a man of deep emotion, very sentimental, who loved his ex-girlfriend dearly.

Usually, as a teacher, he appeared upbeat and humorous, seriously teaching and educating people, but inside he was always in great pain, suppressing everything deep in his heart.

It wasn’t until recent years that he began to both love and hate women wearing red clothes, as his ex-girlfriend was very fond of red outfits.

Yet, inexplicably, he would buy women’s intimate items in red.

Finally, this evolved into a horrendous series of serial killings.

Fifteen minutes later, Ye Fan and the others drove back to the police station.

Upon hearing of Ye Fan’s return, almost everyone in the police station ran out to see the commotion, looking forward to seeing Ye Fan’s embarrassment.

However, when they saw a completely dispirited suspect being led out of the second police car by Gao Jinian and Geng Fuantong, everyone’s eyes widened in disbelief.

“Could it be that he really caught the real killer?

He just started his position yesterday, and today he’s brought in a suspect.

He took less than a day!” Everyone couldn’t help but gasp, “He’s practically a genius detective!”

Chen Kunfei and the rest, of course, also saw this.

They were ready to watch Ye Fan make a fool of himself but ended up witnessing Ye Fan and his team’s triumphant return.

Fang Jinsan stammered, “How is this possible?

It must be a blind arrest by Mister Ye!”

Chen Kunfei’s expression turned grave, and he turned to chide Fang Jinsan in a low voice, “All this was your terrible idea!”

He could have slowly undermined Ye Fan’s credibility, marginalized him, and forced him to leave.

He hadn’t expected that Fang Jinsan’s hardline approach on Ye Fan would instead result in Ye Fan accomplishing a great feat.

With this merit, Ye Fan would definitely be able to secure his position as deputy political commissar and head of the public security team.

Fang Jinsan looked aggrieved; who knew that Mister Ye would be so contrary to expectations, clearly an uncultured ex-military man, yet capable of detective work, and seemingly a genius at it.

Wang Xianzhong and others, along with Xu Lixiang’s subordinates, upon seeing that Ye Fan and his team had indeed brought back a suspect, were filled with regret on top of their astonishment.

It was a ready-made merit handed to them, and they had refused it.

Of course, Fan Feipeng and his colleagues were already seething with anger.

They already had a suspect, the case review results were out, and the suspect had even been sent to court to await trial.

Now Ye Fan had brought back another suspect—what did that mean?

Was it not implying that Jiang Weidong, whom they had caught, was not the real killer, and they had spent the better part of a month catching the wrong person?

Thereupon, Fan Feipeng led a group of criminal police officers angrily over.

“Commissar Ye, could you have arrested the wrong person?!” Fan Feipeng questioned harshly.
