Chapter 54: Three Graves 17
On the student square, Jiang Chao's subordinates controlled the scene, and the onlookers were gradually dispersed a lot, but there were still stubborn students who still stood at the outermost edge of the cordon, looking around, and refused to leave.
Deputy Captain Jiang got down from the police car, he had already received a report that there were fucking students jumping off the building in Yongchuan University, and there were three more people, one with three big heads, and now he saw that the students did not listen to the police arrangement, he was immediately angry, so he sneered and said to the students outside the cordon: "Come on, come on, it's okay to be idle, come and make a record, no one is allowed to leave!" β
After Jiang Chao finished speaking, he glanced at the policemen who were maintaining order, and several people surrounded the crowd and surrounded the students.
Ordinary college students, where have they seen such a battle, and suddenly many people scattered and fled.
The square was suddenly empty, and although there were many people peeking at the scattered bloodstains and the police evidence collection process in the surrounding teaching buildings, the venue was finally quiet.
As soon as there was silence, the cry faintly rang out.
Jiang Chao followed the prestige, and in the flower bed by the square, there were several crying girls.
Those were several officers of the student union, and when Xu Haozhen and the three of them jumped off the building, they were standing in the most central position, and they were overly frightened, and there were two female policemen who were there, patting the girls on the back, trying to ask something.
And behind the flower bed, Lin Chen and Xing Conglian were standing there, the two of them were very close, and they didn't know what they were talking about.
Jiang Chao thought about it, but after going around to the flower bed, he patted the old prisoner's shoulder.
"I said old torture, you are so unkind, do you know, those two little girls are crying like something, you don't go to persuade them, help make a confession or something!"
Jiang Chao didn't know the severity of his attack, and the punishment was caught off guard, and he was beaten so much that he almost fell off the flower bed.
"Be quiet." The torturer turned around and saw that Jiang Chao kept glancing at Lin Chen, obviously the drunkard didn't mean to drink, he made a silent gesture at Jiang Chao and pulled the person to the rear.
"Your little girl is asking very well, you listen quietly."
"This sobbing and choking, I have to ask when I am going, let your Jialin consultant do me a favor and make a confession, it is best to have awesome details!" Jiang Chao leaned close to Lian's ear and whispered. He had read all the files of the "Candy Thief" case, and Lin Chen used a phone call to evoke the sporadic memories of witnesses, which was simply breathtaking.
He wanted to say more, but the slightly cold voice sounded in his ears.
"Not really." Lin Chen folded his arms, stood in front of Jiang Chao and said, "I am a witness, I watched Xu Haozhen jump from the rooftop with my own eyes." β
Jiang Chao picked his ears, thinking that he had a hearing problem.
Xing Conglian's gaze swept over Lin Chen's face, seeing that his face was solemn, his eyes were clear, but his face was very pale, Xing Conglian suddenly regretted that he didn't quickly take Lin Chen away from the scene just now.
"You, what's going on?" Jiang Chao immediately pulled the two of them apart and asked in a low voice.
"At that time, I was in the classroom of the School of Psychology, and received a call from the captain of the criminal team, saying that Jiang Liu appeared and went up to the teaching building where I was, when I hung up the phone, someone jumped off the building, it was a boy, thinking of the previous case, I am afraid that things will not be so simple, soon, someone jumped off the building, and when I rushed to the rooftop, I happened to see Xu Haozhen sitting on the edge of the rooftop."
Lin Chen was concise and to the point, and Tongjiang Chao briefly described what happened.
Although he said it briefly, Jiang Chao felt goosebumps all over his body: "You just said that Xu Hao really jumped in front of you?" β
"Yes."
"That'...... Did they say anything at the end? β
"She also had a word with me."
"What did she say?"
"She said, senior brother, goodbye, you have to come on."
Lin Chen's tone was very flat, and his voice was a little cold, completely stating what he heard at that time.
Jiang Chao's eyes widened, and he was creepy: "Isn't this sick, before committing suicide, he asked you to refuel, let you add some oil?" β
"I don't know." Lin Chen's mind was full of the girl's smile at the end of her life.
How to say it, Xu Haozhen was very sober at that time, she knew very well what she was doing, and she was happy from the bottom of her heart, as if she could get the sublimation of life and soul as long as she jumped from the upper floor.
"I'll rely on ......" Jiang Chao rubbed his arm and couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, "Has this school been demoted, one or two committed suicide, and six of them have died!" β
"It's not to bow down, I'm afraid, Xu Hao is really dead, she has been planning for a long time, two hours before she jumped off the building, I also met with her, at that time, she specially said goodbye to me......"
"Then why do you ......" Jiang Chao heard this and wanted to speak, but was glanced at by the torturer, and just about to say something, he swallowed it back again.
"Why didn't I see that Xu Hao was really suicidal, right?" Lin Chen's eyes looked at the torture servant company lightly.
"Actually, there is still a problem with this case." The torturer couldn't help but speak, interrupted Lin Chen, and didn't give Lin Chen any chance to say the next words, he said: "There were too many people gathered in the square just now, the officers of the student union were organizing the search for Jiang Liu, Lao Jiang knew that we did not entrust the student union to mobilize teachers and students to find Jiang Liu, and even the news of Jiang Liu's disappearance was only spread in a small area, why was it so coincidental that those three children would choose to commit suicide at that point in time in the most crowded place?" β
Lin Chen raised his head and looked at the Torture Conglian, speechless for a long time.
In the distance, on the flower bed, the girls were still sobbing, and the missing person notices all over the ground seemed to be the most silent mockery.
Lin Chen bent down and picked up the one that fell at his feet, Jiang Liu in the photo, and Xu Haozhen smiled brightly.
He finally looked at Jiang Chao, nodded, and said, "I'll come." β
The torture was slightly stunned.
The amount of information just now was too great, Jiang Chao only felt that his brain was imminent, he nodded innocently, and saw Lin Chen turn around and walk towards the girl by the flower bed.
"I ...... I really can't remember. The girl's intermittent cry came in the wind, "Please, don't ask me, okay?" β
Lin Chen walked up to the girl, squatted down, and looked at her.
Before the people around him could react, his hand had been gently touched by the girl's eyes, his voice was very soft, very quiet, but with the gentleness of soothing the wound, he said: "I don't need you to answer the question, please close your eyes, take three deep breaths with me, and then open your eyes, is it okay?" β
The girl sobbed, then nodded.
"One, inhale ......"
"2. Exhale ......"
"Three, please open your eyes."
Lin Chen's hand moved away from the girl's eyes.
The girl opened her eyes, and there was an extra finger in front of her, and that finger was very thin and white, and then, she heard someone in front of her, "Please look at my finger, look to the right." β
Although she didn't know what was happening, the girl couldn't help but stare at that finger and looked to the right obediently, and then, her gaze followed the finger again and slowly moved to the left.
Jiang Chao tiptoed, looked at Lin Chen, who was squatting on the ground and slowly moved his fingers, dragged the torturer Lian hard, and asked quietly, "What are you doing?" β
"Didn't you ask him to ask, probably a way to calm people down?" In the voice of the torturer, there was a coldness that he couldn't even detect.
The time lasted about half a minute, and the surroundings became silent.
Lin Chen's slowly moving fingers finally stopped.
"If you feel better, can you answer me a question, if you can, please nod." He said.
The girl unexpectedly calmed down, she sniffed twice, and most of the original rebellion disappeared.
"You...... You ask. β
Jiang Chao saw it in his eyes, and pulled the torture servant company very excitedly: "It's like hypnosis, this is amazing." β
"Why are you handing out flyers here, and who asked you to come?"
Before Lin Chen's words fell, another girl sitting next to him suddenly burst out and cried: "Yes...... It was Senior Sister Xu who asked us to do this, she said, she said......"
The policewoman on the side hurriedly handed over the tissue, but Lin Chen didn't speak, just looked at the girl in front of him quietly.
"Senior Sister Xu?"
"Xu ...... Senior sister said...... Jiang Liu is gone, I'm afraid that there will be more luck and less luck, and we, as her classmates, can help a little bit......"
"Senior Sister Xu, is it Xu Haozhen?"
The girl nodded, and her eyes overflowed with tears again: "Did Senior Sister Xu deliberately trick us into making us commit suicide?" β
Looking at the painful girl in front of him, Lin Chen didn't answer, he slowly stood up, took out a pen from his pocket, and then opened the girl's palm and wrote down a string of numbers.
"This is the help number of the school counseling center, and you must go to find a professional for help."
As he spoke, he looked at the policewoman on the flower bed: "Wait, please be sure to take them to see a psychiatrist." β
βββ
After the noise, there is silence, and then there is dead silence.
There were fewer and fewer people in the square, Lin Chen didn't say anything more, and took advantage of Jiang Chao's presiding over the work, and the prisoner quietly left the square with him.
It was class time, there were no students in the school, and it seemed too quiet.
Before they knew it, the two of them had walked to the edge of the big lake.
The sky was shining brightly, and the whole lake was overlit, so that there was an eerie misty halo that gently floated on the surface of the lake.
The banyan tree is still flourishing, and under the tree, there are many commemorative garlands, and even candles spontaneously lit by students, the candles have not yet burned out, and the candlelight is still swaying gently.
The torturer patted Lin Chen's shoulder, but he was a little speechless.
Since Lin Chen said that sentence to the police officer just now, he has never opened his mouth again.
For ten-year-old college students, witnessing someone commit suicide is probably the most cruel thing they have ever experienced in their lives.
What about Lin Chen, his junior sister jumped down a few steps away from him, but he didn't save anyone, any normal person will blame himself and be sad.
In fact, Xing Conglian clearly felt just now that Lin Chen didn't want to ask for that confession, because he himself was also very confused, and he was not ready, but at Jiang Chao's request, he quickly cleaned up his mood, and even in the end, he didn't forget to remind those children to see a psychiatrist.
It's so dedicated.
Looking at the slightly thin back of the person in front of him, the torturer felt irritable for no reason.
The strength on his shoulders became heavier and heavier, Lin Chen came back to his senses, saw that Xing Conglian frowned, and remembered the conversation between him and Jiang Chao that he had deliberately interrupted, he still said: "You don't have to worry, I won't be sad, but even if it is an ordinary psychological counselor, it can be regarded as a dereliction of duty if he can't see that the patient has suicidal tendencies, let alone me?" β
Xing Conglian withdrew his hand and asked very seriously: "You haven't found that you have a very strict question, have you always felt that you are omnipotent?" β
It's ridiculous to feel that you are responsible for everyone, and that you are derelict in your duty not to save lives.
"I know very well that I am not an immortal, I can't save everyone, and I don't have the mentality of a holy father, and I won't blame myself for all my mistakes." The corners of Lin Chen's mouth showed a self-deprecating smile, "Maybe there was before, but after really experiencing some things, you will find that people's abilities are always limited, and if you can't do it, you can't do it." β
"Then why do you think that you are derelict in your duties, take 10,000 steps back and say, this is not our case at all, and it has nothing to do with your duties!"
"I'm just talking about ......"
"You're digging into the horns."
Before the sentence could speak, he felt a tightness in his waist, and Lin Chen suddenly turned around and hugged him.
The hug time was very short, Lin Chen's arms wrapped around his waist, and then his head rested on his shoulder, before he could react, Lin Chen retreated, but between breathing, there was still a clear breath belonging to a psychologist, although the time was very short, but it was clearly a very sincere hug.
Lin Chen said, "Thank you." β
The torturer was stunned, damn, who is comforting whom?
"Thinking about it from another angle, even I didn't see that Xu Hao was really suicidal, isn't it a strange thing?"
After all, it is Lin Chen, who is really good at how to quietly open the topic. Xing Conglian didn't remember what he wanted to say just now, his attention quickly diverted from the hug just now, and he only felt that this sentence was really conceited to the extreme, but from Lin Chen's words, it made people feel very deserved.
"I also think that this is not your mistake, perhaps, these children committed suicide by jumping off the building, but that is not the same as suicide in the traditional sense?"
Xu Haozhen arranged for her classmates to distribute leaflets looking for Jiang Liu, deliberately letting the crowd gather, she said goodbye to Lin Chen, and then jumped off, judging from these few small details, this is no longer a simple premeditated plan that can be summarized for a long time, therefore, of course, this is not a desperate suicide in the ordinary sense that is caused by negative temperament.
If this item is excluded, the remaining motives for suicide become a little scary.
"Of course it's different, it's like a suicide according to a script."
Lin Chen squatted down and stroked the soft soil in front of him, early yesterday morning, the bodies of three students were found one after another by the lake, and a day later, three more students jumped from the teaching building one after another.
One, two, three corpses.
One, two, three people jumped off the building.
From fright to panic and then from panic to creepy, the mood of any bystander is like riding a roller coaster, and after a series of twists and turns, they will experience the ultimate fear of rushing to hell.
The beginning and end of these two sequences are so subtle that it's too much like someone has written a script and then acted out on the spot.
There was silence on all sides.
Xing Conglian took a deep breath, only feeling that Lin Chen's reasoning was too bold, but it was precisely because of its boldness that it was terrifyingly reasonable.
Perhaps it was because it was too quiet, and a mobile phone ringtone broke the silence around him.
The sentence was connected to the phone, and the voice of the dynasty jumped came: "Boss, boss, are you in Yongchuan University, did someone jump off the building in the school?" β
The boy's voice trembled with a rare tremor.
"How do you know?"
Lin Chen stood up and looked at him with burning eyes.
The convict quickly realized the problem.
Wang Chao should be working alone in the hotel now, and he and Lin Chen still have time to sue the SΓΉ Dynasty about the new jumping case, so how does the Dynasty know?
"I ...... I seem to have found their live streaming site......"
The boy said fearfully.
