Chapter 66: Huge Overseas Transfer, Qu Wenbiao’s Self-Collapsing Confession!

“She’s the one I killed!”

Qu Wenbiao spoke without any emotional fluctuation, as if resigned, saying the most ordinary words.

The three people in the interrogation room couldn’t help but furrow their brows in unison.

Because.

Even a novice like Wang Hu could easily see that Qu Wenbiao was lying during the interrogation.

But Qu Wenbiao was somehow able to speak about…

Psychological control and Zhang Wan’s recent situation—things that, logically, the school principal should not have known.

After all.

A school has so many students and many complex matters to deal with. The principal surely wouldn’t have the time to pay attention to something like the death of a student’s close family member.

So, it was obvious to conclude…

First.

The person was definitely not killed by Qu Wenbiao.

At least, someone with such a timid and weak personality could never be the meticulous and ruthless criminal behind a crime like the “Blue Whale Game.”

But he definitely knew many details of the case, and there was even a possibility he was involved.

Second.

Qu Wenbiao didn’t intend to reveal any accomplices in the case. It was clear that he had made up his mind to shoulder the blame alone.

Because, with his position as a middle school principal, he certainly wasn’t the kind of law-ignorant person who would think there were no consequences for killing someone.

So.

If Qu Wenbiao were really being coerced or used, he would have immediately confessed the process of the crime, hoping for a lighter sentence as a result.

Instead, he was speaking as if resigned to fate, saying that he was the one who killed the person.

Even.

He didn’t even try to make a simple rebuttal or conceal anything. This was clearly a strategy to take the fall.

And yet…

No matter what was used to threaten or persuade him, he would never implicate the real murderer.

This was completely different from the weak dog who had just confessed everything not long ago!

…

At this moment.

After declaring himself the murderer, Qu Wenbiao had once again fallen silent, lowering his head.

Xu Changsheng furrowed his brows, tapping his right index finger on the table, and coldly said with a serious tone.

“Principal Qu.”

“I think you need to realize the seriousness of this case. This is a juvenile homicide!”

“It’s not a simple theft!”

“You can’t just take the blame for this! The real murderer isn’t…”

“Something you can hide on your own!”

“We have a lot of clues right now. Even if you’re uncooperative, we, the police, will eventually find the real killer.”

“Are you sure you want to give up on the opportunity for a lighter sentence…”

“For something that’s already an unchangeable outcome?”

“Principal Qu, you should confess the entire process of the case. That would be the correct choice.”

After saying these official words of advice.

Qu Wenbiao still remained unchanged, silently lowering his head, not even willing to respond.

This attitude of complete non-cooperation.

Made Xu Changsheng feel an indescribable impatience and anger. If this had been a time when interrogation standards weren’t as strict…

Even though Qu Wenbiao held a position as a middle school principal and a party member, he would still have to undergo a memory recovery treatment.

Seeing that Xu Changsheng had clearly become frustrated with Qu Wenbiao’s attitude.

Lin Tian, who was sitting beside him, gently patted his shoulder, offering a serious but steady reminder.

“Principal Qu.”

“To be honest, we’ve had the chance to meet a few times before, so seeing you in this state today… I actually feel quite uncomfortable.”

“Since you’re here in the interrogation room, I’m afraid you won’t have much freedom for a while.”

“I’ll be straightforward with you.”

“The incident that happened at Shude Middle School, the falling death, isn’t just a simple case of a student falling.”

“Based on the clues we’ve uncovered, it’s actually linked to a massive drug trafficking organization that has been operating in our country for a long time.”

“The person you’re protecting right now is a member of that drug trafficking organization.”

“As a party member, Principal Qu, you cannot be unaware that our country has always maintained a strict zero-tolerance policy towards drugs!”

At this point.

Lin Tian softened his tone slightly, speaking as if reminiscing with an old friend.

“Principal Qu.”

“Just tell us everything that happened. I can promise you this…”

“I will not only give you a chance for a lighter sentence but also provide the real killer with a chance for a reduced sentence for voluntarily surrendering.”

“Hiding won’t work. Surrendering and confessing is the right way to reduce the sentence.”

“Later, if you can tell us about the members of the drug organization and key locations, you might even be able to get out in a few years by contributing to the case.”

It was clear.

The experienced old detective, Lin Tian, knew that with Qu Wenbiao’s attitude just now, it would be nearly impossible to get the details of the case and the process through forceful means.

Only by using a gentler approach.

And offering the opportunity for a reduced sentence for voluntarily surrendering—the only valuable promise in this case—could he possibly get Qu Wenbiao to speak and reveal the details of the case.

Just like now.

After hearing that there might be a chance for reduced punishment through surrendering.

Qu Wenbiao slowly lifted his head, a hint of hope flickering in his eyes.

But it seemed as though he suddenly remembered something.

In just three seconds.

The hope in Qu Wenbiao’s eyes faded again, and his gaze darkened as he lowered his head once more, speaking hoarsely and calmly.

“I am the murderer.”

“Because Zhang Wan’s grades were too poor, keeping her in the school would definitely drag down the overall exam pass rate and average scores for this year.”

“But with graduation exams approaching, and after what happened in Zhang Wan’s family, even if I suggested she drop out, she wouldn’t agree.”

“So I came up with a plan, using the Blue Whale Game for mind control to commit the crime.”

“To do this, I even specifically dismissed the school’s original psychological counselor…”

Before Qu Wenbiao could finish.

Su Ming immediately interrupted him, sighing in slight frustration and shaking his head.

“Hey, hey, Principal Qu.”

“Why are you falling apart yourself? Zhang Wan’s grandmother passed away just a month ago.”

“What does that have to do with you firing the counselor two months ago?”

“To me…”

“It seems like the real mastermind behind the scenes asked you to find a suitable target to complete a drug trafficking organization’s task.”

“And after looking for a month, unable to find a suitable person, you thought of…”

“Yellow Yan, who was crippled in a car accident last year and hasn’t returned to school yet?”

“But Yellow Yan ignored you, and just as the task deadline was approaching, the more vulnerable Zhang Wan appeared.”

“In this situation…”

Before Su Ming could finish.

Ding—ding—ding—

The phone on the table suddenly rang with a new message notification.

Without hesitation.

Su Ming quickly opened the message, seeing the latest clue from Wang Hu, and his gaze suddenly became sharp.

Then, looking at Qu Wenbiao, who was still lowering his head and remaining silent, he lightly rubbed his fingers and said in a calm tone.

“Principal Qu.”

“I think we can put those things aside for now. Please tell me…”

“About three months ago.”

“In less than three days, you transferred a total of 8 million yuan to an overseas account through various banks and channels.”

“Even in the second week after the transfer, you had an intermediary help sell your house urgently.”

“At a price 15% below market value, the buyer completed the transaction with a full cash payment.”

“And the 6 million yuan from the house sale was barely in your hands before you transferred the entire amount to the overseas account.”

“But within less than an hour.”

“That 6 million was transferred back, returning to your card.”

“The total amount of the transfers over several instances exceeded 13 million yuan, and the transfers stopped exactly two months ago.”

“Well, Principal Qu.”

“Can you tell me, who owns that overseas account, and what is your relationship to them?”
