Dongfang Garden.
Room 3-502.
The owner was Yu Hefeng, 50 years old. He was a middle-level manager in a company.
The couple had a good income and only had one daughter, so life wasn't stressful.
They had some spare cash and even invested in an apartment.
After dinner, Yu Hefeng sat on the sofa, picking his teeth with a toothpick as he watched TV.
His daughter went back to her room while his wife cleaned up in the kitchen.
Yu Hefeng's life was very comfortable, but if it was too ordinary, it would make people feel bored.
Knock, knock. There was a knock on the door.
"Who is it?"
"Checking the gas," a woman's voice came from outside.
"Yu Wei, go open the door."
"Why aren't you going?" A dissatisfied voice came from the side bedroom.
"Because I'm your father, haha."
"Saying these old jokes every day. How vulgar." The bedroom door opened and a girl in her twenties walked out. She went to open the door unwillingly.
As soon as she opened the door, Yu Wei was surprised. "Who are you?"
"Police."
Tian Li was the first to enter, followed by Li Hui, Han Bin, Zeng Ping, Zhao Ming, and others.
"Why are you here?" Yu Hefeng stood up, the toothpick in his mouth falling to the ground.
"We're from the criminal police." Zeng Ping took out his police badge and showed it. "You're Yu Hefeng?"
"I am. What's wrong?"
"We suspect that you're involved in a blackmail case. Please go back and assist in the investigation."
"Did you arrest the wrong person? Why would I blackmail someone?" Yu Hefeng defended himself.
"This is a warrant for arrest."
"I'm innocent."
"We're only asking you to assist in the investigation. If you're innocent, you should cooperate with us. That way, we can clear your name as soon as possible," Han Bin said.
"Cuff him."
"Everyone else, search Yu Hefeng's personal belongings. Don't let go of his computer or phone."
"What right do you have to search my belongings?" Yu Wei asked loudly.
Han Bin took out a search warrant from his pocket. "Please cooperate."
"You must be mistaken. My husband is innocent. He wouldn't blackmail anyone." Yu Hefeng's wife, Yang Lin, stood in front of her husband.
"Yu Hefeng, don't you know what you did in the apartment? Do you want me to tell your wife about your situation? "Zeng Ping scolded.
"No, I'm willing to cooperate with the investigation." Yu Hefeng's face changed instantly. He lowered his head and didn't dare to look at his wife and daughter.
"He Feng, what did you do?" Yang Lin asked.
They had been husband and wife for decades, so when she saw her husband's expression, she felt that something was wrong.
"Captain Zeng, we found a laptop in the study," said Han Bin.
"Whose is this?"
"Mine." Yu Hefeng's voice trembled.
"Where's your phone?" Zeng Ping asked.
"On the sofa."
Yu Hefeng's phone and laptop were taken away by Han Bin.
Li Hui and the others did not find any other suspicious items.
…
Yu Hefeng was brought back to the police station for interrogation.
Zeng Ping was the main interrogator, while Zhao Ming was in charge of recording.
Han Bin, Tian Li, and Li Hui were in the observation room.
"Name, gender, age, place of origin …"
"Yu Hefeng, male, 50 years old …"
"Yu Hefeng, do you know why we arrested you?" Zeng Ping went straight to the point.
"I … don't know."
"Let me tell you, since we arrested you, we have sufficient evidence. Don't think that you can get away with it. Not cooperating with the investigation will only add to your crime," Zeng Ping said.
Yu Hefeng tried to probe. "What are you referring to?"
"From what you said, the crimes are not good. Tell me one by one. I have all the time in the world."
"No, no. Just one thing. I only committed one crime." Yu Hefeng quickly changed his words.
"I installed a surveillance camera in the apartment I rented out."
"Where is it?"
"Toilet."
"You are not young anymore, and you have a decent job. Tell me, what did you do?" Zeng Ping questioned.
"I was possessed and wanted some excitement. I did not want to harm anyone."
"You secretly took a video of a young girl and used this matter to extort money. If you are not harming others, what are you?"
"Extort money?" Yu Hefeng was surprised. "I did not. I only secretly took videos and occasionally took them out for a look. I really did not extort anyone."
"Fine. You are quite stubborn. Trying to avoid the important and dwell on the trivial." Zeng Ping snorted.
"Officer, what I said is the truth. I do not lack money. Why would I extort money from others?"
"Didn't you say just now that you wanted some excitement?" Zhao Ming reminded him.
"I really did not. I am innocent."
Zeng Ping walked over with the photo. "Have you seen this envelope before?"
"No."
"What about this USB drive?"
"I have never seen it before."
Ceng Ping sneered and said, "You still dare to lie? The fingerprints on this envelope are exactly the same as the ones on the rental contract. If it's not yours, then whose is it?"
Yu Hefeng looked at it and shook his head. "How is this possible? I have never seen this envelope before!"
"I will tell you again. We have enough evidence now. Let you confess to us is to create a chance for you to reduce your sentence. Understand?" Zeng Ping warned.
"Leader, I admit that I secretly took videos, but I did not extort money. I did not do it. How can I confess?"
"Have you ever shown the video you took secretly to others?"
"No."
"Did anyone else use the computer?"
"No."
The interrogation lasted for more than two hours. No matter what Zeng Ping said, Yu Hefeng only admitted to taking videos secretly. He did not admit to extortion.
After the interrogation.
Zeng Ping and Zhao Ming left the interrogation room and met up with Han Bin and the rest in the office.
"Damn, I wasted half a day talking. I'm so thirsty." Ceng Ping picked up the cup and gulped down a mouthful of water.
"This Yu Hefeng is really stubborn. Captain Zeng interrogated him personally, but only half of it was revealed." Li Hui said.
Zeng Ping put the cup on the table and squatted down. "Don't care what I say. He refuses to admit to extortion."
"I think this Yu Hefeng should know the law. He knows that taking videos secretly is not a big crime, and extortion is a big crime. That's why he is trying to get away with it." Tian Li said.
"Any progress from the forensics team?"
"We have checked the computer. There is a recording software and Chen Luyan's video in it. The evidence is conclusive." Han Bin replied.
"Brother Bin, you have always been cautious. You seem to be implying something." Zeng Ping said.
"I saw the whole process of you interrogating Yu Hefeng in the observation room just now. I feel that Yu Hefeng is not lying."
"Brother Bin, didn't you say that the evidence of Yu Hefeng taking videos is conclusive?" Li Hui asked.
"Now, all the evidence points to Yu Hefeng taking videos secretly. But there is no evidence to show that Yu Hefeng is also the one who extorted money. Strictly speaking, these are two cases."
"Is there any evidence?" Zeng Ping asked.
Han Bin shook his head. "Personal feeling."
