You went on a blind date and presented an A-level wanted criminal as a meeting gift?

"What the hell do you mean?!"

When Lin Chen publicly mocked Li Mingyu, he jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, with the veins on his neck bulging.

"What do I mean?"

Lin Chen sneered and launched into his sarcastic remarks without any hesitation.

"Have you ever seen a person who jumped to their death and, instead of being afraid, smiled and waltzed on the edge of the rooftop?"

"Was your brainstem removed by aliens as a specimen? Or is your walnut-sized brain filled with nothing but mush?"

"Pfft..."

Several students watching nearby couldn't help but laugh out loud and quickly covered their mouths.

Li Mingyu's face instantly turned a deep purplish-red, and he pointed at Lin Chen's nose and roared:

"Stop spreading alarmist rumors! What waltz? That...that might have been the deceased's last moments of madness! Anyway, it was suicide, there's no evidence of homicide, so what makes you think you can overturn my conclusion!"

"Evidence, huh? Fine, today I'll make you admit defeat and, while I'm at it, teach you how to be a cop!"

Lin Chen was too lazy to waste any more words on this idiot.

He patted Su Ke'er on the shoulder, telling her to wait a moment, then stepped into the cordon and went straight to Teacher Zhang's gruesome corpse.

At that moment, a series of urgent police sirens sounded outside the school gate.

"squeak--!"

Several police cars from the Major Crimes Unit roared in, and as the doors opened, Su Qingge, dressed in a smart police uniform and looking dashing, led a large group of criminal police officers in quickly.

As soon as Su Qingge entered the scene, her eyes instinctively searched for Lin Chen.

When she saw Su Ke'er standing outside the cordon, her eyes red and her face full of dependence as she looked at Lin Chen, the beautiful policewoman Su's eyebrows furrowed slightly, almost imperceptibly.

Although she knew Su Ke'er was her best friend, seeing her so close to Lin Chen still made Su Qingge feel a pang of jealousy.

"That bastard, he never forgets to flirt with women wherever he goes."

Su Qingge muttered to herself, but on the surface she maintained a cold and businesslike attitude.

"Lin Chen, how is the situation?"

Su Qingge walked to Lin Chen's side and asked in a deep voice.

"The situation is terrible. This is not a normal suicide; it is murder."

Lin Chen didn't turn around; his gaze was fixed on the corpse on the ground.

At that very moment, Lin Chen quietly activated his [God-level Insight]!

At the same time, with his physical abilities having doubled, his senses have become so acute that they have reached an inhuman level!

It's an amazing sense of smell!

Lin Chen slowly squatted down, closed his eyes, and his nostrils twitched slightly.

Amidst the pungent, acrid smell of blood on the playground, the mixed scent of sweat from those around him, and the distinctive dust of the campus, Lin Chen's brain, like a supercomputer, began frantically filtering and stripping away the odor molecules in the air!

One floor, two floors...

Suddenly, Lin Chen opened his eyes wide, a glint of light flashing in them!

"Found it!"

On the inside of the corpse's collar, Lin Chen detected a faint, eerie fragrance that was so faint it was almost about to dissipate with the wind!

It had a distinctive odor, similar to that of a rare tropical orchid, mixed with extremely low concentrations of ether!

"Qingge, Captain Li, come with me to the monitoring room."

Lin Chen stood up, clapped his hands, and spoke with an undeniable air of dominance.

Without any hesitation, Su Qingge immediately followed.

Although Li Mingyu was extremely dissatisfied, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and follow behind. He wanted to see what tricks Lin Chen could pull.

Upon arriving at the monitoring room, Lin Chen immediately asked the security guard to retrieve the video footage of Teacher Zhang's movements over the past week.

"Open your eyes wide and see clearly."

Lin Chen's slender fingers tapped rapidly on the keyboard, freezing the surveillance footage on several close-up shots of Teacher Zhang the day before he jumped off the building, and then zooming in continuously.

[Master-level Micro-expression Analysis]! Activated instantly!

In Lin Chen's eyes, Teacher Zhang's seemingly normal face on the screen was instantly dissected into countless tiny muscle tissues and nerve reflex maps!

"Look into her eyes!"

Lin Chen pointed at Teacher Zhang's pupils on the screen, his voice deep and powerful.

"When a normal person's pupils are exposed to strong outdoor light, they will contract rapidly out of physiological instinct."

"But if you look at Teacher Zhang in the video, when she walks in the sunlight, her pupils not only don't constrict, but are constantly in an abnormal 'slightly dilated' state!"

"Look at her facial muscles again."

Lin Chen tapped the screen.

"The cheekbone muscles are stiff, and the corners of the mouth are turned up at the same angle in every direction. This is not a genuine smile at all; it's a pathological spasm caused by the muscles losing control!"

Su Qingge leaned closer to the screen and took a closer look, then gasped in shock!

really!

Just as Lin Chen said, although Teacher Zhang in the video seemed to be walking and teaching normally, her eyes were terrifyingly empty, and she was like a shell being manipulated by a puppet!

"What...what does this mean?"

Su Qingge asked, feeling a chill run down her spine.

"This means that she had already been subjected to 'deep hypnosis' before she jumped!"

Lin Chen's eyes became incredibly deep, as if they could see into the abyss of people's hearts.

"Deep hypnosis? Are you kidding me?!"

Li Mingyu sneered from the side, his face full of disdain.

"Do you think this is a sci-fi movie? You think just waving a pocket watch around will make someone jump off a building? I think you're just trying to be mysterious!"

"Ignorance is not your fault, but it is your stupidity to use ignorance as something to brag about."

Lin Chen glanced coldly at Li Mingyu and continued to explain to Su Qingge.

"Ordinary hypnosis can only relax people or induce brief hallucinations; it cannot go against the human instinct for survival."

"But if a top-tier psychological crime mastermind combines that with the specially concocted hallucinogen—'orchid mixed with ether'—that I just smelled on the corpse, they can forcibly implant a psychological anchor into the victim's subconscious!"

Lin Chen took a deep breath, his tone becoming unusually serious.

"This killer planted a terrifying psychological suggestion in Teacher Zhang's mind—'Dancing is flying!'"

"So in Ms. Zhang's subconscious, she wasn't jumping off a building at all, but rather performing the most magnificent dance of her life on a stage under the spotlight!"

After listening to Lin Chen's hard-hitting analysis, the entire monitoring room fell into a deathly silence!

Su Qingge felt a chill run down her spine and straight to the top of her head!

kill without spilling blood!

Without even lifting a finger, one can manipulate a person into smiling and walking toward death simply through hallucinogens and psychological suggestion!

What a terrifying and monstrous opponent this is!

"Investigate both cases immediately!"

Su Qingge made a quick decision and turned to look at Lin Chen.

"Lin Chen, since you can see through his methods, do you have a way to bring out this 'inner demon' hiding in the shadows?"

"A psychopath skilled in deep hypnosis and disguise—in the police files, there should be a guy codenamed 'The Man of a Thousand Faces' who fits that description perfectly, right?"

Lin Chen touched his chin, a cold smile curving his lips.

"Since he enjoys manipulating people's minds, then we'll play along in an even bigger psychological battle."
