Ye Qing's three questions were simple, and within ten minutes, everyone had finished answering them.
Zhao Chengshuang collected the papers, and Ye Qing went through them one by one, already having an idea in his heart. He picked out ten of them and said with a faint smile, "The responses from these ten friends have issues, so the previous work subsidies will be deducted."
Upon hearing this, everyone present was shocked, especially a few individuals whose faces turned visibly pale. One of them stamred, "How... how did you know our answers had issues?"
"I said before, we have investigated the surveillance on-site." Ye Qing glanced at the person and said, "The answers on these ten papers do not match the results shown in the surveillance at all. Isn't this fabricating evidence? Besides, I haven't called out any nas. How do you know you are among these? Isn't that a clear sign of guilt?"
The person's face changed again, and their voice trembled noticeably, "I... I... I saw that the papers you picked out seed to have my handwriting."
"You've got good eyesight then." Ye Qing chuckled and said, "With such good eyesight, how did you not clearly see the situation back then? The murderer left in a gray sedan, so how did you write that the murderer left?"
The person was imdiately at a loss for words, just as Ye Qing had said, their response was indeed made up. They hadn't seen what car the murderer left in, but to get the money, they recklessly fabricated that the murderer ran away on foot.
Ye Qing's words also made the other few turn pale. The content they filled in was also fabricated. Now that they heard Ye Qing say the murderer left in a gray sedan, they naturally knew their answers were wrong. Therefore, there was essentially nothing more to say afterward.
"Alright, the ten of you can leave first." Ye Qing handed the ten papers to Zhao Chengshuang and asked him to take these people out first.
These people were evidently unwilling, but seeing Zhao Chengshuang in his police uniform, they had no choice but to honestly follow and leave.
The remaining people inside the room beca sowhat excited. Since Ye Qing hadn't picked them out, did that an their answers were correct? If so, wouldn't they be able to get the money?
However, in fact, after Zhao Chengshuang led those ten people away, Ye Qing reviewed the remaining papers from beginning to end again. This ti, he picked out another seven people, identifying flaws in their responses.
These seven people were the sa as the previous ten; they had indeed seen so information, but other circumstances they hadn't observed. But for the money, they concocted so answers, which were spotted by Ye Qing. Although they felt aggrieved, knowing they had fabricated their responses, they didn't dare to argue and were led out again by Zhao Chengshuang.
Afterward, Ye Qing reviewed the remaining papers several more tis. Each ti he finished, he could pick out a few fabricators. It took approximately two hours until only six people were left in the room, and he had morized the contents of those remaining six papers.
Ye Qing continuously drove so many people away, making the remaining six uneasy. However, after Ye Qing had looked over them several more tis, he didn't send more people out but instead looked up at the six and said, "Congratulations, your responses are completely right."
The six were initially taken aback, then overwheld with joy. One of them eagerly asked, "Then... what about our money?"
"Don't worry. Among the six of you, two answered all the questions and can receive three hundred thousand each. Three answered two questions and can get two hundred thousand each. The last person answered one question correctly and can get one hundred thousand!" Ye Qing shook the papers in his hand and said, "You should know yourself how many questions you answered, right?"
The six nodded repeatedly, and even the one who answered only one question was trembling with excitent. This was an unexpected windfall of a hundred thousand yuan, which was a considerable sum for them. How could they not be excited?
"Since your responses were correct, the money is essentially yours. However, before you get the money, I hope you can help once more." Ye Qing said, "I need another complete statent, requiring you to tell us exactly what you saw at the ti. Once the statents are finished, you can take your money and leave!"
"Are... are you serious?" one of them asked, their voice trembling. This person answered three questions, which was three hundred thousand!
"If you don't believe , you can look over there." Ye Qing pointed to the adjacent room, where Zhao Chengshuang stood at the door. Seeing everyone looking over, he pulled the door open.
Inside the room, a pile of cash was neatly arranged, giving a pleasing feeling from afar. This money was sent by Li Lianshan at Ye Qing's previous request and was now put to good use. The six of them were srized when they saw the money and unanimously expressed their willingness to record their statents imdiately.
The statent recording was naturally handled by Zhao Chengshuang's subordinates. There were many rooms in the courtyard, and the six people were taken to different rooms to record their statents.
Once Zhao Chengshuang had sorted things out, he went to Ye Qing's side in the living room and looked at the six lit rooms upstairs, whispering, "Ye Zi, do you think all of this will be useful?"
"Of course it's useful." Ye Qing smiled and said, "The information from these six is far more important than the hundreds of docunts you had before. If we get the information from these six, tracing the murderer won't be difficult."
"Really?" Zhao Chengshuang was slightly surprised and said, "Right, how did you know the murderer left in a gray sedan? And when did you look at the site's surveillance?"
"I haven't seen the site's surveillance. As for knowing that the murderer left in a gray sedan, it's quite straightforward." Ye Qing said, "By carefully comparing the responses of these over thirty individuals, one can see that most said the murderer left in a gray sedan, and this certainly wasn't prearranged among them. So, without a doubt, this response is correct."
"Is that so?" Zhao Chengshuang was slightly puzzled and said, "You said before, didn't you? There was more than one murderer, and these cases should have been committed by two individuals separately. One of them left in a gray sedan, so how did the other leave? Isn't your filtering thod a bit flawed?"
Ye Qing smiled and said, "These cases were indeed committed by two people separately, but the individuals you found related to the cases committed by the sa person."
"Huh?" Zhao Chengshuang was even more puzzled and said, "How can you be so sure?"
Ye Qing smiled silently, being certain of this. He had already concluded that several of these cases were committed by a top-level master, while the rest were done by a peak master. The witnesses Ye Qing brought in related to the cases done by the top-level master. Ye Qing hadn't investigated the cases done by the peak master because he knew that investigating the top-level master would be much easier than investigating the peak master. Regarding this case, as long as Ye Qing found out who the top-level master was, everything would be resolved.
The statents from the six took quite a long ti, taking two hours to record as Ye Qing required. If it were in the past, these people would have beco impatient to leave. However, with so much money at stake this ti, the six were exceedingly patient. Money does indeed make things easier.
Once the six had finished their statents, they looked at Ye Qing excitedly. According to what Ye Qing had said earlier, it was ti for them to collect their money and leave.
Ye Qing, of course, wasn't going to be stingy with the money. He had prepared it long ago. When the six ca out, he laid all the money out on the table.
The six, seeing the money, were overwheld and hurriedly rushed over, clutching their money against their chests. Especially the two who got three hundred thousand each, their facial muscles were trembling with excitent.
"This is the compensation you deserve. However, I do not recomnd taking the money out right now. It's early morning, and taking so much cash out is unsafe because you won't find a bank to deposit it. It's better to rest here for the night, and tomorrow, Director Zhao can arrange for soone to escort you to the bank to deposit the money. How about that?" Ye Qing smiled.
"Uh..." The six exchanged glances, feeling Ye Qing's suggestion was valid, and quickly thanked him profusely.
Ye Qing had rooms set up for them to stay in, and when they went to their rooms, they were still clutching their money, afraid it would be stolen if they left it behind. It seed that they would sleep with their money in their arms tonight. Of course, they probably wouldn't sleep much tonight.
After settling them, Ye Qing took their recorded statents and began reviewing them with Zhao Chengshuang.
After skimming through one of the statents, Zhao Chengshuang imdiately complained, "This is completely different from the statents they gave at the police station, and they included a lot of important information they completely omitted before. If they had given these statents to the police, it would have made solving the case much easier!"
"That's for sure," Ye Qing said. "These are murder cases, and with so many children dead, who would dare give statents like these? If the murderer learns of this, wouldn't they retaliate? Okay, stop complaining. Now we have complete statents. Let's first gather all the valuable information to facilitate tracking down the murderer!"
