Diary of a Criminal Investigator

Liang Juan was as elegantly gentle as ever.

Chun Jiao could clearly feel that there was no difference in Liang Juan even after she was handcuffed and seated in the interrogation chair, just like when she last met her.

"They said that life without me was unbearable, so they didn't want to live, but I asked Officer Chen in return, must I be with them just because they threaten me with their lives?"

"And to soothe their emotions, I chatted with them, talked about some things related to suicide. Is that excessive?"

"As for the house you mentioned, I think you should look at the outcome; I gave up the legal inheritance."

Yes, ultimately, no matter what is said, Liang Juan gave up the legal inheritance.

At the same time, the families of the three deceased made no demands of Liang Juan.

In the end, if we have to say, Wang Gang and the other two were retirees in their sixties, completely capable of independent action.

"Wang Gang and I were former lovers. We had wonderful moments, a joyful relationship. Although we broke up, we are still friends."

Chen Jiang could see that Liang Juan spoke very sincerely.

"They wanted to commit suicide and called me to chat with them. Do you think I could refuse?"

The recording on Wang Gang's phone, although containing many discussions between Liang Juan and the others about the process of suicide.

However, as Liang Juan said, could this become evidence of her inciting others to commit suicide?

Lu Chuan's office.

"I think we should initiate a prosecution."

This was Wang Zhaokai's opinion.

"Regardless, people are dead now, and from the recording of the conversation between Liang Juan and Wang Gang, it is evident that Liang Juan had the ability to dissuade them from suicide, but she did not show a strong desire to persuade."

"From beginning to end, she was just going along with what the other party was saying."

"I don't quite agree."

Chen Jiang had completed the interrogation.

"The previous inquiry and this interrogation were both handled by me, so I know a little more about Liang Juan than everyone else."

"Going along with others is just a manner of speaking, not indicative of her subjective intent."

"I've met five men who are still alive who had contact with her, and everyone describes her as gentle and understanding."

"Just during the interrogation, Liang Juan told me something. She studied carefully what single men in their sixties truly lack?"

"Do they lack money?"

"No, the people Liang Juan encountered are all high-income groups and have generous retirement pensions; from a material standpoint, they do not lack money."

"Do they lack affection?"

"This needs to be looked at from two sides. Among the men Liang Juan contacted, they all have children, so they generally do not lack affection from their children, but these people are mostly divorced or have been widowed for many years."

"And due to age and experience, they are past the stage of being interested in beautiful women."

"What they care about is not appearance; they care about inner understanding."

"They told me that the feeling Liang Juan gives them is like she understands them completely, and the love she gives is so overwhelming it seems like it could melt them away."

"After Wang Gang and the others committed suicide, leaving their property to Liang Juan in the will illustrates how intense this was."

"So looking at the evidence we have, there is no direct evidence of Liang Juan instructing or inciting the three to commit suicide."

"So whether to initiate a prosecution, I think it's prudent to discuss with the prosecutor's office."

Lu Chuan frowned; he had been pondering these days.

It's certain that the men Liang Juan dated over the past ten years were targeted with purpose.

Although Liang Juan stated she was searching for true love, the real outcome is that not one of these men ended up with her, yet they all gave her a considerable amount of money.

But can it be simply said that Liang Juan was committing fraud?

Perhaps, deep in her heart, she genuinely felt she was searching for true love.

So facing police inquiries, or former lovers, she could remain calm and unperturbed.

Regarding whether Liang Juan committed fraud, Lu Chuan felt it essential to understand this through the definition of fraud itself.

Fraud is defined as the act of deceiving someone to obtain a significant amount of public or private property for the purpose of illegal possession.

Firstly, illegal possession, merely possessing, does not necessarily constitute fraud; the premise is that it has to be illegal.

And using deception to obtain money is also one condition among others.

But the current problem is that the way Liang Juan obtained money was through gifts during romantic relationships.

And it seems this gifting behavior is quite resolute.

Even now, when police consulted the five living elderly involved, they didn't have any intention of asking for the money back.

Also, the relationship between Liang Juan and the others was not one-sided; she also gave the others expensive gifts in return, such as a 200,000 yuan watch.

Moreover, from the timeline, each time Liang Juan interacted with someone, the expensive gifts came first, followed by their monetary gifts.

If Liang Juan consciously committed fraud, her methods would have to be described as very cunning.

In fact, if Liang Juan had just been with one or two guys and then married, no one could claim there was anything wrong with her actions.

The pivotal issue is that Liang Juan got acquainted with 18 retired seniors.

Acquiring a total of seventy million in assets from them.

What the hell...

Wang Zhaokai and Chen Jiang were still debating.

"Let's do this, gather all the case files, back up the relevant evidence, and then submit it to the prosecutor's office for their opinion."

Ultimately, Lu Chuan felt that because of the large number of people Yang Juan dated and the huge amount of assets obtained, it would still be recommended to submit a prosecution opinion for fraud charges.

"With what charge?"

"Fraud."

"Those three people's deaths..."

At this point, Lu Chuan shook his head: "Although we have a recording, there is nothing in it clearly indicating Liang Jie incited Wang Gang to commit suicide."

"Nor is there any process of Liang Juan inciting Wang Gang to murder for the property."

"Furthermore, from the results, neither party took possession of Wang Gang and the other two's property."

An additional point is that the families of the three deceased, their children, had no demands on Liang Juan.

Because, during the time their fathers were dating Liang Juan, these children were aware.

In their impression, that was the happiest time in their father's lives.

The individuals Liang Juan chose to date shared a common trait: They had been single for a long time, either divorced or widowed.

These people mostly raised their children alone.

Therefore, their children all genuinely hoped their fathers could have someone in their lives.
