Diary of a Criminal Investigator
Chapter 933: For His Daughter, He’ll Confess Everything
Regarding his daughter’s illness, Qin Wushuang was undoubtedly more aware of it than Lu Chuan.
When his daughter jumped off the building, the height wasn’t too significant, so although her spine was injured, it wasn’t completely irreversible. However, the initial surgery would cost at least 1.8 million.
For Qin Wushuang’s financial situation, he could manage 18,000; for 180,000, he could try borrowing from relatives and friends and possibly adding a bit of high-interest loan to gather the sum.
But for 1.8 million, even if he sold all his body’s parts, it wouldn’t be enough.
Moreover, this was only the first surgery’s cost; there were also post-surgery rehabilitation expenses.
Additionally, the doctor mentioned that if the first surgery wasn’t completely successful, there might be additional surgery fees, which could be as high, if not higher.
Faced with millions in surgery and rehabilitation expenses, Qin Wushuang was utterly powerless.
As for Zhang Haibin’s family, they only agreed to resolve the matter with a mere 100,000 yuan.
"I know what you’re saying, but... I don’t have money."
During the previous case analysis, especially concerning the millions in cash beneath the master bedroom of Zhang Haibin’s house, the initial judgment was that the perpetrator wasn’t motivated by money.
However, based on the current situation, it’s clear that Qin Wushuang indeed lacked money.
If he had opted to loot everything instead of murdering the family, he would have had enough to cover his daughter’s medical expenses.
This was a question Qin Chuan really wanted answered, but now Qin Wushuang remains silent. He refuses to admit his criminal acts, rendering Qin Chuan’s question ineffective.
So the first issue now is how to make Qin Wushuang confess.
Given the stringent criteria for death penalty judgments, if he remains silent and denies everything, the current evidence is insufficient for conviction without a confession.
Although footprints were found at the scene, as Qin Luchuan was worried earlier, Qin Wushuang has disposed of his shoes.
The down jacket and black gloves were also burned.
Judging someone as a murderer without any physical evidence is indeed incomplete and careless.
Therefore, the key is to get Qin Wushuang to talk.
Of course, the role of a suspect’s confession varies in different legal systems.
Domestic law, which belongs to the continental legal system, emphasizes rigid enforcement.
Thus, a suspect’s confession can serve as vital evidence, but in countries with the oceans law system, a suspect can retract their confession anytime without accountability.
Lu Chuan’s strategy is simple.
The only way to pry open Qin Wushuang’s mouth is to leverage Qin Ruirui.
Many innocent people were affected during the entire case, like Zhang Haibin’s daughter Zhang Mei and Qin Wushuang’s daughter Qin Ruirui.
From the current perspective, Qin Wushuang is highly likely to be the suspect. Zhang Haibin was killed, Zhang Tao was killed, Zhang Mei was killed, and Zhang Haibin’s wife was also killed.
The deceased can’t be revived; their murders cannot be undone, but there’s still hope for victim Qin Ruirui to return to normal life.
Although not entirely to a normal life, at least she can become healthy.
"I know you don’t have money, but regarding Qin Ruirui’s condition, I have a method we can explore."
Explore?
Qin Wushuang’s emotions shifted immediately, urgently asking, "What do you mean?"
Instead of speaking, Lu Chuan pulled out an application form from his briefcase.
"This application form is for the relief fund under Qiangsheng Group’s charity foundation."
Lu Chuan had his assistant present the application form to Qin Wushuang: "You should know Qiangsheng Group and have heard about their charity foundation."
Without Lu Chuan’s explanation, Qin Wushuang, although not living in the city, knew as a Haizhou City resident what this application form meant.
The doctors mentioned it to her while her daughter was in the hospital. She had applied, but it’s still under the approval process.
Regarding Qin Ruirui’s injury, it’s severe, but compared to cancer or terminally ill patients, it’s not exceptionally severe.
Charity foundations have operating principles.
On one hand, the foundation targets specific diseases with long-term prevalence but lower treatment costs, causing immense burdens yet warranting support.
On the other, individual relief amounts are generally limited; an excess is deemed inappropriate.
For cases like Qin Ruirui’s, requiring millions for a recovery fund to let her stand again, approval is unlikely.
"Qin Wushuang, regarding whether your daughter can recover, this application form should clarify things. I can guarantee this application will definitely be approved."
Lu Chuan didn’t mention his status, feeling it unnecessary.
Nor did he have the need to flaunt superiority among criminals.
"Really?"
Qin Wushuang’s eyes widened.
"Yes, I can arrange for someone to help you fill out this form, then send it to Qiangsheng Group’s charity foundation. Once it’s approved and stamped, I’ll bring it back for you to see."
Qin Wushuang stared at the application form, his expression changing rapidly.
Though poor, Qin Wushuang is far from unintelligent.
He understood the purpose behind the offer was to make him speak.
Actually, whether or not to reveal the truth, the initiative lies with Qin Wushuang.
Originally, he was determined to remain silent, having thoroughly considered the operation, knowing that even if the police found some clues, they couldn’t pinpoint him entirely.
If he stayed silent, perhaps he could dodge accountability.
But Qin Wushuang has a weakness: his daughter, Qin Ruirui.
Whether or not he could escape legal punishment mattered less to Qin Wushuang.
If he could exchange his daughter’s health recovery for admitting his crime, he considered the deal worthwhile.
So Qin Wushuang hesitated not at all.
"Show me the approved application form! I’ll confess everything!"
Lu Chuan nodded.
He instructed someone to prepare a pen for Qin Wushuang, who began filling out the form.
As for approval, it’s indeed not a big concern—Lu Chuan could ensure it with just a phone call.
Soon after, Qin Wushuang completed the form, and it was promptly sent away.
