Chapter 24: Shen Nian's Choice [Seeking Collections and Recommendations]
"There are more people getting married, but that's one of the clues. Shen Chi lightly touched the tip of his pen on the paper: "The biggest similarity between the four of them is that they all have violent tendencies, and they are not liked by their families and neighbors." β
Where did you get this information? Even Lu Shao was a little puzzled, but he still waited for Shen Chi to finish speaking.
"Then I sorted out the time of their disappearance and found that there was a pattern in the time, and each case was exactly a year apart. β
"What does this mean?" Lu Liu was a little puzzled: "Does this day have any special meaning?"
This is a planned and regular murder, Shen Chi narrowed his eyes: "It doesn't necessarily have a meaning, but if it is put together with Cai Ronggui's case, you will find a problem - the murderer has obsessive-compulsive disorder." β
"Obsessive-compulsive disorder is a type of anxiety disorder in which a conscious compulsion and a counter-compulsion coexist, making people feel abnormal but unable to control it. Shen Chi drew a circle on the right side of the paper: "We can see from the cutting of the corpse that the edge is ......."
As he was talking, his mobile phone rang suddenly, and Shen Chi was not very happy after being interrupted, but after seeing that it was Shen Nian calling, he frowned and answered: "Hey." β
"Brother, when are you coming back?"
"I'm busy, I'll talk about it then. After Shen Chi finished speaking, he hung up directly.
"Well, I just talked about obsessive-compulsive disorder, because I ...... at the time" Before the words were finished, the phone rang again, and it was still Shen Nian's, and this time Shen Chi was really a little angry: "Shen Nian, what is the matter with you!"
Shen Nian's voice was hoarse and heavy: "Brother, I have a very important thing to tell you. β
"Okay, you say. Shen Chi took a deep breath and suppressed the fire in his heart to listen to him.
"I'll tell you when you come back. Shen Nian seemed to anticipate what Shen Chi would say, and said before he could speak: "No matter what you do, let it go firstβif you are still my brother." β
Listening to the beeping sound coming from over there, Shen Chi was almost angry.
This little bunny!
Lu Shao looked at the sketch he drew and probably saw something meaningful, and when he saw that he didn't call, he asked, "You mean that the murderers are all the same person? and have obsessive-compulsive disorder?"
"Well, even if it's not near here, I know the terrain of Kawayoshi Town very well, and I should even know these families. Shen Chi replied while thinking, although Shen Nian loves to lose his temper, he never talks to him like this, is something really wrong?
Thinking so, he quickly explained a few words, asked Lu Shao and them to stay here to verify, and he drove a police car back.
He thought something was wrong with Shen Nian, but as soon as he entered the door, he saw Shen Nian sitting upright on the sofa, and the fire came out all of a sudden.
He sat down opposite Shen Nian with a broad horse golden knife and said coldly, "You'd better explain it to me." β
Shen Nian looked at him with wide eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "Brother, I'm leaving." β
Shen Chi was at a loss for a moment, but quickly calmed down: "If you want to go back to the imperial capital, it's okay, if you don't want to stay in Ningxia County, I'll hire a nanny, or you can stay by yourself......
"You didn't understand what I meant. Shen Nian was very confused, but he still barely managed to maintain his composure: "I'm not going to the imperial capital, I'm going to Yanghai City." β
Shen Chi looked at him with a frown: "You mean you're going to transfer schools?"
Shen Nian shook his head with difficulty: "I don't study in high school anymore, the Yanghai Institute of Life Sciences has sent me an admission letter, and I will go directly to the research institute." β
At that moment, even Shen Chi, who had always been calm and self-controlled, couldn't help but be furious: "You are messing around!"
"I didn't!" Shen Nian was louder than him, his heart seemed to be burning, and even his eyes were full of fire: "I like to be a scientist! I don't want to study and graduate and take over your company as you arranged, get married and have children, and live a mediocre life! I have my ideals, I don't want to live in your shadow anymore, do you know how much pressure you put on me? Everyone knows me, they won't say that you are Shen Nian, they will always just say, oh, this is Shen Chi's younger brother!"
Shen Chi was speechless.
"I'm Shen Nian! I have a name! I want to live a wonderful life, I want others to say that when they talk about me, this is one of the two powerful sons of the Shen family, not a shadow that will live under your wings forever!" In the end, Shen Nian almost cried, and roared hoarsely: "Brother, this is my life!"
A fifteen-year-old boy had a loud voice and a terrifying light in his eyes, but Shen Chi could see the deepest sadness in his eyes.
Shen Nian has been proud of having a powerful brother since he was a child, and today's words have opened the darkest part of his heart, and while hurting Shen Chi, he may not feel good in his heart.
Shen Chi opened his mouth and found that he couldn't say a word.
The death of his father and the cowardice of his mother made him have to be strong and carry the family on his weak shoulders, and later even in order to have the ability to verify his father's case as soon as possible, he forced himself to grow up, skipped grades one after another, and desperately wrote papers and did research.
He had already tasted that kind of suffering, how could he be willing to let his only brother experience it again.
He just wants him to grow up safely, he gives it to other children, he doesn't ask Shen Nian to help him anything, as long as he is well, it's fine.
He closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths before suppressing his emotions and said coldly, "What did you do?"
Shen Nian's face was gloomy, and he said in a deep voice: "I wrote a few papers and published them abroad, and last month people from the research institute came to me, and I participated in the interview and re-examination, and I have passed." β
"When did it start. β
"When you were in graduate school. β
Looking at Shen Nian's drooping head, Shen Chi was silent.
A mixture of shame, guilt, heartache and pity enveloped him and pounded at his heart.
Yes, this is his life, he can't judge what is good for him based on his experience, let him choose what is good, in the past, he was too authoritarian.
"What a profession. β
Hearing this, Shen Nian knew that he had regressed, but he was a little flustered in his heart, looked up at him timidly, and said quickly: "Biophysics." β
Shen Chi frowned: "Why did you choose this field? I remember that you used to like aerospace science and technology. β
"But now I like this. Shen Nian said quickly.
When he said this, his expression was still relatively natural, but the wings of his nose would twitch involuntarily, and his eyes would not dare to look directly at him, indicating that he really liked it in his heart, but it was not for this reason.
Shen Chi's eyes sank: "You'd better tell the truth, otherwise you will honestly stay in the imperial capital for me to go to high school." β
Shen Nian hung his head, was silent for a long time, and when he raised his head, his eyes were red: "Because of you." β
"I don't need ......"
"No, you do. Shen Nian was even more excited than just now, he stood up abruptly and grabbed Shen Chi's favorite piggy bank: "I'll smash it now, is it okay?"
The piggy bank screamed and shouted, "Xiao Chi, help......"
It was a birthday present from his dad on his fifth birthday......
Shen Chi didn't look at it, and his heart seemed to be cold inch by inch.
The two brothers looked at each other for a few seconds, Shen Niancai pursed his lips, and said slowly: "This is your secret, I haven't said anything about it, but you are now working as a case consultant, and you come into contact with so many people every day, what if someone finds out about you?"
"I'm not going to be discovered. β
"But I've found out. Shen Nian's tears fell from her eyes: "Brother, just promise me, I want to learn this, even if I ...... Even if you do find out, at least I won't slice you when I come to study you. β
