Chapter 81 Crisis

Chapter 81 Crisis

Chapter 81 Crisis
Xu Yiqing couldn't remember the last time he saw so many police cars out in force, and it was rare for him to see Du Yu take a suspect so seriously.

Arresting the suspect was not Xu Yiqing's job. Although he really wanted to see the true identity of the "Cleaner", just as Zhou Shi knew that he would be in the way, Xu Yiqing was also very clear that having one more unrelated person at the scene would add more pressure to Du Yu.

There were only two policemen in charge of guarding the room, as well as Zhou Shi and Xu Yiqing. Yu Sasa was still crying. It was obvious that the events in junior high school were the nightmare of his life.

Zhou Shi winked at the policeman next to him, who understood and began to prepare a statement.

She sat in Du Yu's place and comforted Yu Sasa: ​​"Your brother must be very good to you, right?"

Yu Sasa looked up at Zhou Shi, and Zhou Shi tried to read some emotional fluctuations from his eyes.

Apart from the resentment hidden in his eyes, Zhou Shi discovered that Yu Sasa's behavior and inner cognition were still stuck in junior high school.

It can be seen that eight years have passed, and he has not yet gotten over his brother's suicide.

Yu Sasa didn't answer. He had some problems with comprehension to begin with, and now his emotions were so fluctuating that he couldn't say anything useful.

Zhou Shi tried to calm him down and counsel him as if he were an ordinary patient with mental illness.

Under her patient persuasion, Yu Sasa finally agreed to say something else, although her speech was still unclear.

"How did she find you?"

"Eat...eat." Yu Sasa said, "Bring me...some food."

"Overpass?"

"right……"

"She knows your name."

"Correct."

"Did she tell you about your brother?"

"She said...she could help me...kill the wolf!"

"She told you to do what you wanted."

"Go to the police station and turn yourself in." Yu Sasa said, "Tell the police that I killed someone, I killed the principal!"

"Then?"

"Let's talk about Song Lang after the principal dies." Yu Sasa's face was full of hatred and anger when he mentioned Song Lang. He would never forget the fact that Song Lang bullied his brother and himself, and he would never forget the real cause of his brother's death.

"Why haven't you looked for Song Lang for so many years?"

Zhou Shi actually didn’t quite understand. Since Yu Sasa bore a grudge against Song Lang and the principal of No. 4 Middle School, why hadn’t she tried to take revenge in the past eight years?

Let’s not talk about things like physical differences. If you hate someone to the core, to the point of wanting to eat their flesh and drink their blood, it’s impossible not to take action.

Yu Sasa was a little confused by this question. He scratched his head and couldn't answer it.

Zhou Shi thought of something and asked, "Do you think what she said makes sense and want to do what she asked you to do?"

"Wolf... Damn it!" Yu Sasa didn't give a direct answer, but just lowered his head and kept muttering: "Damn it, damn it..."

Zhou Shi turned to look at the policeman, and after getting the reply that the record had been completed, he motioned Xu Yiqing to go out with him.

After leaving the interrogation room, the two stood in the corridor and talked.

Zhou Shi said: "I am now sure that [the cleaner] will have certain psychological cues."

Xu Yiqing asked: "Because of the question you asked Yu Sasa just now?"

Zhou Shi replied: "Not only that, I noticed that there are some problems with his behavior logic, as if he was given psychological hints... just like what we speculated that the cleaner did to Zou Yi's two children. Yu Sasa has an intellectual disability, his IQ is even lower than that of an ordinary junior high school student, and he is easily misled."

Xu Yiqing thought for a moment, "In that case, I have a question that I don't understand even more... Shouldn't the [Cleaner] try to stop Yu Sasa from speaking out about her own affairs? She should have warned Yu Sasa not to tell the police about her affairs. But after Yu Sasa got the answer she wanted, she really let it go."

Before this, the serious crime team had always believed that Yu Sasa never told the truth, at least she would not tell the police the truth so easily.

Xu Yiqing looked at Zhou Shi: "What he just said to Du Yu, is it true?"

"Yes."

Unexpectedly, Zhou Shi was very sure: "At least with my knowledge over the years, I can infer that Yu Sasa must not be lying. If you can't even determine the psychological condition of a mentally ill patient with an IQ of less than 14 years old, it's a bit incompetent."

Everyone who is familiar with Zhou Shi, including Du Yu and Xu Yiqing, is well aware of her professional abilities.

Since Zhou Shi's tone was so certain, Xu Yiqing could only conclude that Yu Sasa was telling the truth.

So it's even more strange.

Could it be that the [Cleaner] acquiesced to Yu Sasa telling the police about himself?
Or maybe she had already escaped and didn't care what Yu Sasa told the police.

If [the cleaner] escapes from Jiangcheng, we will be in big trouble.

Xu Yiqing frowned and thought. After thinking for a while, he suddenly realized that he seemed to be distracted. When he came to his senses, he found that Zhou Shi was looking at him with a worried expression.

"What's wrong?" Xu Yiqing asked, "Is it about the fruit at home?"

Zhou Shi nodded.

Xu Yiqing smiled and comforted her: "Don't worry, I've been to the hospital, and the test report will be out soon... and it's been more than ten hours, even if it's poisoning, it should have taken effect long ago."

"It's not poisoning." Zhou Shi hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the truth to Xu Yiqing: "I am now sure that the fruit has not been tampered with... But you, Yiqing, I am very worried about you. Boss Du and I went to the fruit store, and the clerk said that you bought the fruit yourself, and we also checked the surveillance... I will not make a mistake in identifying you."

Hearing this, Xu Yiqing was slightly stunned and pointed at himself: "Are you saying that the fruits in my refrigerator were bought and put in by me?!"

It was obvious that he didn't believe what Zhou Shi said at all.

But the words "Are you kidding me" were on the tip of my tongue but I swallowed them back.

Although Xu Yiqing knew that Zhou Shi always liked to play tricks on him, when he met her worried eyes, he was sure that Zhou Shi was not playing a prank.

He knew too well the love behind those worried eyes.

Then Xu Yiqing felt a slight headache.

How can this be?

"How could I not remember such a thing?"

He began to doubt himself, so he took out his phone and started looking through his payment records, including WeChat and Alipay.

“When did you buy the fruit?”

"Last Thursday."

After searching for a while, I finally found the payment record of the fruit store in the Alipay payment record.

The amount and time match.

Xu Yiqing became even more confused.

Looking at his expression, Zhou Shi thought for a long time, took two steps forward, stretched out his arms and gently hugged her.

"Maybe you're too tired." Zhou Shi comforted softly: "There's no need to treat yourself like this, take more rest."

Xu Yiqing said nothing, he just felt warmth in his arms and a faint fragrance lingering at his nose.

So he, who had no desires or requests, took a greedy breath unconsciously.

"What is this for? It will have a bad impact on the bureau."

Although he said this, Xu Yiqing did not push Zhou Shi away. Instead, he hugged her gently.

Zhou Shi said in a gentle voice, "Compared to handling the case, I hope you can be less tired. I am a psychology student, I can't lie to myself. In my heart, the case is not as important as you, so I am more biased and want you to rest. Boss Du will definitely understand."

After saying that, she let go of her hand and punched Xu Yiqing lightly on the shoulder: "So now your task is to go back and get some sleep. I don't care whether you go home or to the Forensic Department, just rest. It would be best if Boss Du can catch the person, but if they do, they will be locked up and they won't be able to run away. If you can't catch him... then there's no point in you wasting time here."

After a pause, she said sternly: "So your first priority now is to go back to sleep!"

Xu Yiqing found her pretending to be serious and felt amused and touched. "Okay." He nodded, "I'll go back and take a nap."

"That's right!" Zhou Shi smiled.

Watching Xu Yiqing's figure disappear in the stairwell, Zhou Shi's smile slowly solidified and turned into worry.

At this moment she began to doubt her abilities.

"There's obviously nothing unusual."

Since we can rule out the possibility that someone could disguise themselves as Xu Yiqing to such an exquisite degree, it means that the person who bought the fruit was Xu Yiqing himself.

The payment records on his mobile phone can serve as evidence.

So whether it is amnesia or a more exaggerated case of dual personality, it is a very serious psychological problem.

But he didn't notice any sign of it, which made Zhou Shi feel bad.

"It shouldn't be a split personality."

After careful consideration, Zhou Shi decided to rule out this most outrageous and most difficult possibility first.

"From a psychological perspective, the second personality will show completely different behavioral logic and habits from the first personality. For example, if you like eating bananas, you will become fond of eating apples, and if you are left-handed, you will become right-handed."

The case of dominant hand is particularly obvious in the lesson plan, and Zhou Shi would not remember it wrong.

"But Yiqing still kept his habits. He bought his favorite fruits and went home to rest. Everything was normal, so he didn't notice anything unusual."

Most patients with dual personality have told their doctors that there is another person hiding in their home, that they find something has been tampered with from time to time, and even say in fear that they have seen strangers in their home.

From a scientific point of view, it is the difference in behavioral habits, even to the point that when you look in the mirror, you don’t think that the person in the mirror is yourself.

"Hmm..." She bit her finger and fell into deep thought.
-
After leaving the Criminal Police Brigade, Xu Yiqing did not go home but planned to spend the night in the Forensic Department.

Because what Zhou Shi said just now also concerned him.

I actually went to the fruit store on Thursday to buy my favorite fruits, and then went back home instead of going back to the Forensic Department?
He subconsciously began to resist going home.

Xu Yiqing frowned and thought, trying to recall what he did after get off work on Thursday, but after inspecting the morgue, he couldn't remember.

"Inspecting the morgue...what number did I find?"

Suddenly coming back to his senses from his thoughts, Xu Yiqing stared at the morgue in front of him and looked at the number on it.

Body No. 209.

"It has been checked."

He glanced at the cabinets around him and completed his routine inspection for the day. Although it was absolutely impossible for the Forensic Department to lose a body, the work that should be done could not be sloppy.

He paused as he was about to leave the morgue and stopped in front of Yu Yangyang's cabinet door.

Opening the cabinet and looking at the scattered and unrecognizable bones, it is hard to imagine the great pain he went through before his death.

"School violence..."

Xu Yiqing thought about it and made a decision in his heart.

"I will give you justice."

After this matter is over, he will sue the No. 4 Middle School to seek justice for the incident of jumping from the building that year.

Just after he pushed the body back into the cabinet, footsteps were heard outside the door.

Xu Yiqing was stunned, thinking that it was already time to get off work. Because of the non-stop work in the past few days, even the security guard had left. Who else would be in the forensic department?

He felt a chill on his back.

It's not that it's haunted, but it means that someone who is not a colleague has entered the Forensic Department!
Zhou Shi would never come to the Forensic Department without notice. Although it was a bit bad to say this, Xu Yiqing knew that Zhou Shi was a little timid.

Du Yu is even more impossible, the entire criminal police brigade is arresting people.

So he looked around the morgue, looked at the tools placed at the door, picked up a mop, pulled out the mop stick with force, and held it in his hand.

"Who?!"

He shouted towards the door, and when he went out, he found Lin Sheng also holding a wooden bench in his hand, ready to go.

When the master and disciple met each other's eyes, they were both stunned.

"A Sheng?"

"Brother Xu?"

"Aren't you off work?"

"Brother Xu, aren't you in the criminal police team?"

After a conversation, the two realized that Xu Yiqing couldn't sit still after coming back and started doing inspections, while Lin Sheng forgot to take something and came back to get it.

Both parties thought that the Forensic Department should be empty by now, but they heard strange footsteps and mistakenly thought someone had entered the building, so they became suspicious and almost caused a misunderstanding.

Xu Yiqing put down the mop stick and said, "Next time you think someone is going to shout, what if someone gets hurt?"

Lin Sheng scratched his head and smiled innocently: "I understand."

"Brother Xu, are you sleeping here tonight?"

"Well... let's go home. I'm afraid there will be any more misunderstandings."

"Then I'll send you off?"

"No need, you go first." Xu Yiqing pointed inside: "I still have to inspect the fourth floor, you go back first."

Lin Sheng didn't bother about it anymore. He went to the office to pick up his leftover things and left.

It was already late when Xu Yiqing finished his inspection.

He checked the building, made sure the doors, windows, water and electricity were all closed, then locked the door and left the Forensic Department.

He stood at the gate of the Forensic Department compound, ready to hail a taxi. It was cloudy tonight and the moonlight was not very bright, but fortunately the light from the message room not far away gave him some illumination and a sense of security.

After waiting for a long time without seeing any car, Xu Yiqing decided to take an online taxi. He chose a frequently used intersection as the pick-up point and went there as soon as possible with his phone in his pocket.

The intersection was only two hundred meters away from the gate of the Forensic Department. As he walked on the road, those questions kept lingering in his mind.

The matter of buying fruits by myself, the matter of the [cleaner], and the matter of Yu Yangyang being bullied in school.

Suddenly he felt something was wrong.

I just felt something was wrong from the beginning.

What kind of shoes is Lin Sheng wearing?

Would it make such a noticeable noise in the hallway?
He also had some concerns in his mind, as if the doors and windows were not closed properly after he left the Forensic Department just now.

What went wrong?

Suddenly, faint footsteps were heard behind me again.

In an instant, Xu Yiqing figured out why he felt something was wrong!
The security guard has gone home after get off work, but the light in the message room was on just now!

"do not move."

A voice that made Xu Yiqing's blood run cold came from behind his ear, and then Xu Yiqing felt something sharp against his throat.

He shifted his eyes slightly and saw with the corner of his eye that a shining dagger was across his neck.

I was held hostage from behind!

The voice sounds like a woman!
It’s the [Cleaner]!
