Section 425

Zhou Chen held the murder weapon in his hand and asked Yang Xu and Xue Min, "The eighteen people were not holding solid knives like the ones we have now, but spring knives. Or, prop knives!"

Prop knives?

For example, a knife that can be retracted into the handle.

When stabbing someone, it looks like the blade is entering the body, but in fact the blade is entering the handle.

It can't hurt anyone at all.

This kind of prop knife is very common in many movies.

The two were stunned.

Yang Xu reacted and exclaimed, "Deception?"

Deception of what?

Suppose that the suicide incident itself was not suicide.

The knives held by the nine couples were all prop knives that would not cause harm when stabbed into a person's body.

Then these nine couples came to the amusement park and played a fake suicide game.

What they didn't expect was that the prop knives were replaced with real knives.

The blades of these knives were also coated with highly toxic substances.

Think about it, what kind of result will it be?

At this time, take a look at the abnormalities shown by these people on the surveillance.

If the assumption is true, then the abnormality in the surveillance becomes reasonable.

For example, the first two suicides were not mass suicides at all.

It can be suspected that all three suicides were intentional homicides!

"The so-called suicides are like a joke."

Zhou Chen said coldly, "Someone deliberately created panic!"

Yang Xu and Xue Min nodded.

That's right, it was artificial panic.

At this time.

A national security police came to report, "Another suicide case has occurred. I don't know if it is related to the suicide in front of me. The deceased was found a little late!"

How late can it be... The three looked at each other.

...

In an abandoned underground parking lot.

A bloody skeleton lay on the ground.

When Zhou Chen arrived, he saw a policeman chasing a wild cat.

The reason was that the wild cat actually had a... finger bone in its mouth!

Everyone's expression changed and came to the skeleton.

Through the bloody appearance of the corpse, some traces of gnawing can be seen.

You can also see countless wild cats gathered around.

Looking around, the corpse was almost eaten up.

"It is preliminarily determined that the deceased is a female, aged between 18 and 22 years old."

A forensic doctor reported his work, "The most likely possibility is suicide, and the cause of death is that the left wrist, left ankle, and neck artery were cut by a utility knife, and excessive bleeding led to shock and organ failure."

"This is determined by some traces on the ground at the scene. No suspicious footprints or signs of struggle were found around the deceased."

"Because the face and fingerprints of the body were too severely damaged, the identity of the deceased cannot be ascertained for the time being."

Wait for the forensic doctor to finish his report.

Zhou Chen and others were also unable to determine whether the deceased was related to the three suicides.

"It's a bit difficult to investigate."

Yang Xu had a headache. "Except for the couples, there is almost no connection between the three suicides. It is too difficult to investigate with the clues in front of us."

"We have probably checked all the seven places that should be checked."

Xue Min said to Zhou Chen: "The former classmates and relatives of the deceased said that the deceased had no abnormal behavior and had no contact with strangers before his death. There is almost no clue about this case now."

"Why is there no clue?"

Zhou Chen shook his head, "Let's check the girl in the surveillance video first."

The girl he mentioned was the girl who pulled other girls off the platform in the subway suicide incident, causing all 18 girls to die.

The other girls may not have problems, but this girl definitely has problems.

She really wants to commit suicide!

...

"Liang Yan, 17 years old, a senior high school student..."

In the police car, Yang Xu read the personal information of the suspect girl.

The National Security Bureau used some means to find the suspect girl's social account and communication records.

At this time, Zhou Chen was holding a mobile phone and looking through Liang Yan's Weibo.

…

March 4, 2020.

Why can’t I satisfy my mother even though I work so hard?

April 11, 2020.

I have clearly made 403 steps, but in her eyes I am still useless.

June 23, 2020.

She always compares me with others, saying that I am a waste. Am I really that bad in her eyes?

…

Zhou Chen was stunned.

He felt resentment, anger, and even... despair from these Weibo posts.

When he continued to read, his guess was indeed confirmed.

…

December 30, 2020.

Am I really so useless and so bad?

March 8, 2021.

She scolded me again, and scolded me 12 times in a month. She didn’t scold me when I ate, didn’t scold me when I got dressed, and scolded me when I got up a little late...

April 15, 2021.

Well, today she not only beat me, but also scolded me because I didn’t want to eat at night...

26th.

After school today, I walked out of the school gate with a male classmate and happened to see her. Haha, we are just classmates, and we just happened to walk out of the school gate together. But... she yelled like crazy, scolded me in front of many classmates, saying that I was in a premature love relationship? I’ve had enough, are you really my real mother?

2022, April 11.

Decided, leave! .

Chapter 406 No more, never see each other again (1 more)

In a house.

A middle-aged woman sat in front of the window like a puppet.

Her eyes did not blink, as if she had lost her soul, staring blankly out the window.

With the ability of a "psychologist", Zhou Chen has already reached the ceiling in psychology.

Just by looking at this woman, you can find that she has suffered a great psychological blow.

Her spirit has completely collapsed!

A middle-aged man sat next to the woman, smoking quietly.

He looked at the woman with extreme hatred and extreme pain.

And the expression on his face was helplessness, self-blame, and despair.

They are the parents of the suicide girl Liang Yan, the suspect in this case.

"Hello, we are the police."

Zhou Chen looked at the couple in front of him coldly, "I want to know some questions. You don't have to answer or cooperate. However, if you are still parents, I think you must want to know the truth about your daughter's death, right?"

Instant.

The middle-aged man stared at Zhou Chen with his eyes fixed.

The middle-aged woman shuddered when she heard Zhou Chen's words, turned around abruptly, looked at Zhou Chen with a crazy expression and screamed: "What did you say, the truth? You don't blame me, right? Yanyan's death was not because of me, it was not my fault, right?"

The other party was incoherent, and there seemed to be a glimmer of light in her eyes.

But tears flowed from her eye sockets, and there was sadness in her eyes.

"Is it difficult to admit a mistake?"

Zhou Chen looked at her coldly, "Do women really never admit that they made mistakes in their lives except admitting that they married the wrong husband? They don't even admit that they forced their own daughter to death?"

The woman's face instantly lost color, and she showed pain, and tears rolled out of her eyes in strings.

She opened her mouth, but finally said nothing and closed her eyes in pain.
