My Healing Games

All the strange tales he told in Chapter 134 have come to pass.

"In just one month, four murders occurred at that school. Strangely, someone seemed to have foreseen the murders, but the adults at the school didn't pay attention." Li Xue's teacher leaned back in his chair, recalling the case from back then.

"Premonition of a murder?"

"The four murders correspond to four victims. The first victim was a school security guard who drowned in the river behind the school after getting drunk. The second victim was the homeroom teacher of Class 4, Grade 7, who was murdered in the dormitory toilet, and the murderer staged the scene as a suicide. The third victim was a delinquent from outside the school who was dating a girl from the school and eventually fell to his death, and the scene of his death was also staged as a suicide. The last victim was named Jin Sheng, a freshman in Class 4, Grade 7."

Is there any connection between these four victims? Was the murderer killing randomly, or was it premeditated?

"The deaths of all four were staged as suicides. These four people had different identities and professions and seemed to have no connection. However, just before the murders, the boy named Jin Sheng had predicted the deaths of the others in some special way." The old man did not hide anything from Han Fei, and he seemed to disdain lying about these things.

"Did the last victim foreshadow the deaths of the other victims?"

“You could say that.” The old man’s gaze shifted from Han Fei, and he recalled something from many years ago: “The last victim, Jin Sheng, was a very special child. He was mischievous and naughty. His parents worked in another city, and he was always taken care of by his grandparents.”

“The child loved listening to the village elders tell folk tales since he was little, and he also liked to make up so-called ghost stories. But everything slowly began to change after he entered Yimin Private School.”

"He stopped telling ghost stories and started warning people around him that the school was really haunted."

The old man turned and glanced at Han Fei, and only continued after seeing that Han Fei did not react.

“Before the first murder, Jin Sheng told his roommate a story.”

"He said that one night when he went to the toilet, he saw a man standing on tiptoe with his head down following the security guard. No matter where the security guard went, the man would follow, and the security guard seemed to be completely unaware."

“The security guard died a few days after Jin Sheng told his roommate this story.”

"Upon learning of the security guard's death, Jin Sheng was terrified. He said that the man who was following the security guard had seen him and that the man was coming to find him."

“My roommate didn’t believe any of this and told the homeroom teacher about Jin Sheng’s situation. The female teacher, who had just started working, was very responsible and kept comforting Jin Sheng, but Jin Sheng didn’t dare to get too close to the homeroom teacher.”

"He kept warning his homeroom teacher to be careful when he was alone at night and never to talk to students in the hallway."

"But the very next night after he warned the homeroom teacher, the teacher was murdered."

"Jin Sheng became somewhat deranged. He started talking nonsense, and everyone thought he had suffered too much stimulation, which caused him to have mental problems."

"The school approved his return home to rest, but a few days later Jin Sheng ran back to school. He was like a madman, trying to scratch a girl's face. He said the girl looked exactly like a ghost."

"The girl's face was scratched and she was sent to the hospital for treatment. Jin Sheng was also punished."

"Just when everyone thought the matter was over, the girl's boyfriend, a hoodlum from outside the school, came to the school late at night. He seemed to be preparing to go on a date with his girlfriend. However, the next day we found his body on the school."

“The victims in the three cases were all different, and the only connection between them was Jin Sheng. But when we were preparing to investigate further, Jin Sheng disappeared.”

"We finally found him in a closet in Jinsheng's dormitory; the child had stopped breathing."

"Later, Yimin Private College was shut down for rectification due to chaotic management and poor teaching quality, and it was completely abandoned not long after."

The old man had experienced many things, but when he mentioned Jin Sheng's death, his tone changed slightly, as if he felt regret.

"How did you discover that this case was related to butterflies? Was it because all the victims were faked as suicides?" Han Fei was still somewhat puzzled.

"The manner of the victim's death is one piece of evidence, but more importantly, we found out the address where Meng Chang'an and Butterfly met, which included the now-abandoned Yimin Private Academy." The old man's eyes were somewhat frightening: "Butterfly even asked Meng Chang'an what methods he would use to drive Jin Sheng insane if he were the murderer."

"Butterfly went to Yimin Private Academy? Did Meng Chang'an say all of this?"

“We used many new technologies to interrogate Meng Chang’an.” The old man didn’t say it explicitly, but turned to look at Han Fei: “You seem very interested in this case.”

“I’m interested in all cases involving butterflies. If I could, I’d even like to catch a butterfly with my own hands.” Han Fei wasn’t lying; that was truly what he thought.

"It's better to leave the matter of catching the murderer to us police." The old man smiled faintly. "I've digressed a bit. I mainly came to see you today and give you the reward money."

The car door opened, and the police officer standing guard at the door took Han Fei's phone out of the specially made bag and returned it to Han Fei.

At the same time, Han Fei's phone vibrated slightly.

Somewhat puzzled, he took out his phone to check and found that there was an extra 60,000 yuan in his personal citizen account.

"Fifty thousand is the reward, and the remaining ten thousand is a personal gift to you to thank you for helping me fulfill a wish."

The old man did not take up any more of Han Fei's time and watched Han Fei leave.

After Han Fei disappeared from the old man's sight, the other policeman spoke up, "Sir, do you think it's possible that he could be Butterfly?"

“The timeline doesn’t match up. Butterfly’s most rampant period of crime was ten years ago, when he was just a child.” The old man’s faint smile disappeared. “Continue to protect him closely. This child has a very special aura. Butterfly will definitely come looking for him.”

"A very special kind of temperament?"

“I’ve sensed that kind of aura from someone who has struggled at the very bottom of the abyss before, in another S-class criminal.” The old man took out his phone, entered a long password, and then the phone projected Han Fei’s data personality model.

Next, he entered his access password into the model. After completing the identity authentication, the hidden information lock on Han Fei's personality model was unlocked.

"When the bloody night of the major tragedy at the Happiness Orphanage occurred, Han Fei was only ten years old. As the sole survivor, he suffered from acute psychological stress reaction, which manifested as altered consciousness and distorted perception of time and space."

“Sounds, smells, images, and even physical touches related to the murder will cause the traumatic scene to flash repeatedly in his mind. When he closes his eyes, his perception of the world will turn into a cruel blood red.”

"After initial treatment, the patient's recovery far exceeded expectations. Except for still being unable to smile, he is now able to live like a normal person."

"According to experts, the patient has a healing personality with extremely strong self-adaptability and self-regulation."

Thank you to the guild leader who left so reluctantly!
