Detective: Open your eyes, I am handcuffed in the interrogation room.

Chapter 557 Sister Guan, You Are Back

trial room.

Chen Yi sat in front of Kou Chaoyi for the third time.

This may be the last formal interrogation. Regardless of whether Kou Chaoyi confesses or not, the case file will be handed over to the procuratorate.

The hammer was not found, and He Xin was leading people to search for it.

Search the school, the car, the hardware factory, Kou Chaoyi's home...

It would be best if you can find it. If you can’t, ask Kou Chaoyi. If he doesn’t tell you, it doesn’t matter.

There were bloodstains in the office, bloodstains in the car, bloodstains in the hardware factory. All the evidence pointed to Kou Chaoyi being involved in the deaths of five people. He couldn't hide.

"Aren't you going to tell me yet?"

When the evidence was placed in front of Kou Chaoyi, the latter's face suddenly became extremely ugly and his skin was trembling.

Chen Yi did not get angry, and said calmly: "Face the reality, your case has been reported, and there is no room for reversal. I advise you not to be lucky and struggle desperately.

It’s only a matter of time before the truth comes out. Do you think there’s any point in wasting time?
Let’s talk backwards, starting with Du Xun.”

Kou Chaoyi stared at Chen Yi and gritted his teeth, "If this bastard hadn't sneaked out to surf the Internet at night, would I be able to sit here? Now it seems that the existence of the Student Union is really necessary to make these bastards behave themselves!"

He told the truth.

If Du Xun hadn't sneaked out to surf the Internet, the police would have had no way of finding Qingshi.

Chen Yi said calmly: "So, you admit that you killed Du Xun."

"I..." Kou Chaoyi's expression changed and he lowered his head.

Even if they know they are facing a dead end, when it comes time to actually confess their guilt, most suspects still don't dare to take that step.

If judgment is compared to an abyss, there is a difference between being pushed into it by others and jumping into it by yourself.

"Don't want to talk about it?" Chen Yi said, "Then let's talk about Sun Menglan. Guan Xinmei has already confessed that you killed Sun Menglan."

There are five lives at stake. As long as Kou Chaoyi claims one, the rest will be easy.

Kou Chaoyi suddenly looked up, was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly.

I don’t know what I’m laughing at, but I can still laugh now.

"Okay, I did it." When Guan Xinmei's confession was thrown out, he chose to plead guilty.

Chen Yi hugged his shoulders and said, "Why did you kill her?"

Kou Chaoyi: "It was an accident. I saw her beating Guan Xinmei and killed her by mistake."

Chen Yi: "So simple? To show your manliness in front of Guan Xinmei? Don't deny it, Guan Xinmei has already told you everything."

Kou Chaoyi lowered his head and whispered, "It's that simple. She is the most charming girl I have ever seen. Captain Chen, isn't she charming?"

Chen Yi knocked on the table: "Now I'm asking you! What happened to Guan Xinmei's mother!"

Kou Chaoyi: "I killed her. She knew about my...relationship with Guan Xinmei, and came to my office to argue with me. She also blackmailed me and threatened to call the police, so I had to kill her."

Some criminals who are being interrogated like to make excuses for themselves, using words like "have to" and "must", but in fact these reasons seem ridiculous to everyone.

Chen Yi: "Go on, Xu Chaoyue."

Kou Chaoyi's psychological defenses completely collapsed, and he answered every question: "I killed him in the school grove, he was Guan Xinmei's boyfriend.

Guan Xinmei actually has a boyfriend. Someone actually dared to be Guan Xinmei’s boyfriend. He deserves to be killed! He deserves to be killed!

She can only be mine and will never belong to anyone else!"

At this point, Kou Chaoyi became a little emotional. He completely treated Guan Xinmei as his own personal property and would not allow anyone else to touch her.

If you get involved, I'll kill you.

Chen Yi suppressed his rising anger and said, "Where's his mother?"

Kou Chaoyi snorted coldly: "I was the one who killed him. It's just right that his mother is here to look for her son. It also saves the police from investigating. It's all over now."

Chen Yi: "Why do you want to kill Du Xun?"

When mentioning Du Xun, Kou Chaoyi paused for a few seconds and replied: "I have already said it just now. If it weren't for him, would you have come to Qingshi? Would my brother have been arrested? Would the factory have been closed? This bastard must die!"

The motivation is logically sound, but incomprehensible and can only be described in four words: insane.

"Are you crazy? Were you traumatized as a child?" Chen Yi tried to find out Kou Chaoyi's real motive, because Du Xun had no real conflict with him.

Sun Menglan hit Guan Xinmei.

Fu Peilan blackmailed and threatened to call the police.

Xu Chaoyue is Guan Xinmei's boyfriend.

Xu Chaoyue's mother came to look for Xu Chaoyue, and if she couldn't find her, she would call the police.

The four people have direct or indirect connections with Guan Xinmei, but Du Xun does not.

Helping his brother to avenge himself? Are the brothers so close? He didn't see it.

When the surface motive cannot be understood, there must be a deeper motive. Serial killers have psychological problems and are twisted to a greater or lesser extent.

Kou Chaoyi didn't intend to answer and fell silent.

There is no rush for this matter and it doesn't matter. It is not the responsibility of the investigating police to get into the heart of the murderer. Chen Yi just has this habit.

Murder does not happen for no reason; it is the accumulation of many factors, including experience and personality.

Experience and character actually mean the same thing, because experience shapes character.

"Besides Guan Xinmei and Wu Yuehan, who else have you touched?" Chen Yi said.

"Wu Yuehan?" Kou Chaoyi was confused, but he quickly remembered, "Oh, you mean her. It's been so long since we graduated, and you even found out about her?"

Chen Yi stared at him.

Kou Chaoyi's heart trembled, remembering the pain in his shoulder, and said, "There are only two of them. The others are all ugly and I don't like them either."

Chen Yi: "You are quite picky. Guan Xinmei hasn't graduated in a few years. Are you trying to stop her?"

Kou Chaoyi: "Yes, where can I find her after she graduates? I must stay in Qingshi so that I can communicate with her anytime and anywhere."

Chen Yi: "Since Sun Menglan, the student union has never bullied Guan Xinmei. Are you also supporting her?"

Kou Chaoyi: "Yes, no one can bully her except me."

This sentence is quite shameless. If he threw it on the street, he would definitely be beaten to death.

Chen Yi was on the verge of exploding. He never thought that in Yangcheng, where he was in charge, there would be a place like Qingshi that was full of sin and blood. No one called the police, and there was nothing they could do even if they wanted to investigate.

Should I thank Du Xun? But he also died, due to a cause and effect that was difficult to control.

"Except Du Xun, how did you transport the other four to the hardware factory?"

Only Du Xun's bloodstains were found in Kou Chaoyi's car.

"Use a car." Kou Chaoyi replied.

Chen Yi: "To be more specific, there was only Du Xun's blood in your car."

Kou Chaoyi: "I wrapped it several times with a large plastic sheet. Du Xun... maybe it leaked out."

Chen Yi had an image similar to a mummy in his mind.

"Where's the murder weapon?"

Kou Chaoyi: “Buried it.”

Chen Yi: "Where is it buried?"

Kou Chaoyi: “Forgot.”

Chen Yi: “Approximate location.”

Kou Chaoyi: "The small woods west of the school."

Chen Yi: "Tell us the details of each murder in detail. Don't leave out any details, including the conversations between you. Do you understand?"

When asked this, Jiang Xiaoxin called. Chen Yi asked others to continue the interrogation and left the interrogation room to answer the call.

It’s almost done. The next step is to record Kou Chaoyi’s confession.

"Hello? Sister Jiang."

Jiang Xiaoxin: "Captain Chen, the first phase of the evaluation and treatment of Guan Xinmei has ended. The effect is quite good, but she doesn't want to go back to the Municipal Bureau and wants to go back to school. What do you think?"

Chen Yi: "Then let her go back to school. When this is over, we can find time to supplement her confession. For now, try not to shock her and give her time to recover."

Jiang Xiaoxin: "Okay, then I'll send her back."

Chen Yi: "Yeah."

After the call was hung up, he felt a little doubtful.

Go back to school?
Isn't school where PTSD happens? Logically, she shouldn't want to go back.

Maybe there is some emotion behind this, after all, this is the place where I lived and studied for many years, and I have both painful and good memories.

In the future, Qingshi might really be banned this time.

The Education Bureau will re-divert the students, and Guan Xinmei will then have a good learning environment and be admitted to her ideal school.

……

Jiang Xiaoxin drove Guan Xinmei back to Qingshi.

At this time, Guan Xinmei has gotten much better under Professor Liu's psychological intervention. The fear and numbness on her face are gone, and now she has a healthy smile. Although it is very faint, it is a good start.

In the future, Guan Xinmei will receive long-term treatment, the expenses of which will be borne by the government. Chen Yi also promised to help her return to normal life as soon as possible.

It is not certain whether Qingshi will exist in the future, but Guan Xinmei has all the knowledge in her mind. If she changes the place of study, she should be able to get good grades in a few months, successfully enter university and fulfill her dream.

But I have to move forward alone.

After Guan Xinmei got out of the car, Jiang Xiaoxin lowered the window.

"Sister Xiaoxin, thank you." Guan Xinmei bent down and smiled shyly, with timidity in her smile.

Post-traumatic stress disorder is not so easy to cure. The memory will stay with you for a lifetime. Just think about it and let it go. This is the job of a psychologist.

Jiang Xiaoxin waved her hand and said with a smile: "Come in quickly, if you have any problem, just call me or Captain Chen, we will all help you.

By the way, if there is still bullying in school, please tell us too.”

Guan Xinmei nodded gently: "Okay Sister Xiaoxin, there shouldn't be any more. Everyone has been very honest during this period, and the learning atmosphere is also very good."

Jiang Xiaoxin drove away.

Watching the vehicle leave, Guan Xinmei, who was standing there, slowly restrained her smile and returned to her cold attitude again.

She turned around silently and entered the school, came to the dormitory with familiarity, and walked up the stairs slowly.

There was a noise gradually coming to my ears; it was Kang Qin's voice.

Snapped!
Snapped!
On a certain floor, Kang Qin and former student union members gathered in a corner, slapping a girl in the face repeatedly.

The girl's face had turned red, and she didn't even dare to cry, she was extremely frightened.

"Do you think that just because the police and the Education Bureau are here, I'm no longer the president? Huh?!"

After saying that, Kang Qin slapped him again.

"You dare to talk back to me? It seems you don't know how to write the word death. Drag her in and teach her a lesson."

The girl was terrified and begged for mercy: "Sister Qin, I was wrong, I was wrong! I won't dare to do it again!"

Kang Qin snorted and ignored them. Everyone pulled the fallen girl away. As the door closed, the girl's cries were heard.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey.

The footsteps are clear.

Kang Qin turned her head subconsciously and just saw Guan Xinmei walk up the stairs and turn the corner, preparing to continue going upstairs.

Guan Xinmei just glanced at what had just happened, indifferent.

Kang Qin's whole body tensed up immediately. The arrogance and coldness on her face disappeared without a trace. She felt the same fear as the girl who had just been beaten. She even... shivered, as if a cold wind had blown on her.

"Sister Guan, you're back."

Guan Xinmei nodded, and kept walking, leaving Kang Qin with her back.

Only after the figure disappeared did Kang Qin dare to take a deep breath.

Before I knew it, cold sweat appeared on my forehead.
