However, the outcome of the interrogation was extremely disappointing.
None of the 12 people admitted to having any contact with Jai Kai Hua; they all claimed to have only seen him on television.
When asked about the reasons for their suicide, everyone was at a loss again. They all said that they had just heard a woman talking on the street, and then, as if possessed, they experienced the pleasure of sexual intercourse. They jumped off the building simply because only in this way could they release the ever-increasing desires that had accumulated in their hearts.
They were also terrified and incredulous about what had happened, unable to understand why they had become like that.
When the results of the interrogation of these 12 people were obtained, Jiu Ziyuan Si fell into deep thought.
The woman in the 12 testimonies was undoubtedly an accomplice of Jai Kaihua; she seemed to be able to induce suicidal behavior through some means.
Jiu Ziyuan automatically ignored the sound, because controlling human thoughts through sound, especially controlling adults with a complete worldview, is not science, it's superpower!
However, how could there be superpowers in this world! The supernatural is just something that novelists and comic book artists have imagined.
Therefore, he believed that this method was a new type of drug that could be transmitted through the air at close range, and that the woman had indiscriminately spread this drug, causing the 60-year-old to commit suicide by jumping off a building.
However, the test results for blood and other bodily fluids all showed no abnormalities.
When asked what the woman looked like, the 12 people gave 12 different descriptions!
This way, we can't file a case against Zhai Kaihua at all; we can only file a case against that ethereal woman, and there are 12 different women involved.
Such documents would only be rejected by the court as a shared hallucination of those who committed mass suicide. This is known in psychology as the group psychological effect, and the case would not even be accepted.
The investigation immediately stalled.
Chapter 154 Fermentation
Without evidence, a case cannot be filed. As for false evidence, if the police station provides false evidence to the court to issue an arrest warrant for someone, and it is exposed, the entire senior management of the New Territories Police Station will have to step down. The political cost is too heavy. And obviously, one Jai Kai Hua is not enough for these reformist senior officials to make such a sacrifice.
Although Masaki Zen suspected that Qu Shiai possessed the means to make people commit suicide, and that this means was likely a supernatural power.
However, without concrete evidence, he dared not definitively conclude that the other party possessed superpowers and not some other method; what if it was some kind of advanced technology...?
After all, having received over 30 years of atheistic education, the idea that the world is scientific is deeply ingrained in my bones; how could I so easily abandon it?
Therefore, Masaki Zen did not tell Kujiin Shi about his suspicions.
The interrogation of Kouta began quickly.
Inside the interrogation room.
Kujiin Shisei asked first, "According to our investigation, your name is Fujiki Kouta, and you are a first-year student at Misaki High School, right?"
Kota said truthfully: "Yeah."
“You come from a single-parent family. Your mother passed away early. Besides your father, who is a construction worker, you also have a younger sister who is in junior high school. You are in a romantic relationship with a girl named Kei Agasa. You don’t have many friends, but you have a harmonious relationship with your neighbors.”
"Ah."
"So, was your suicide attempt due to excessive academic pressure, a fight with your girlfriend, or... being manipulated by someone?"
Kouta gave a bitter laugh: "If I said I never thought about suicide, and that I did it all because I met a strange woman, would you believe me?"
Kujiin Shi had tried her best to attribute Kouta's suicide to Sai Kaika's instigation, but she didn't expect to get the same testimony again.
"I believe it," Kujiin Shi sighed inwardly, then answered.
"Huh?!" Kouta was prepared for a heated argument, but he didn't expect the other party to actually believe him.
"What's wrong? Are you surprised?"
"Hmm. Generally speaking, isn't this kind of thing quite beyond your comprehension?"
“It’s unbelievable. But all the 12 people before you said so.”
"I see."
"Could you describe in detail the entire process of your decision to jump off the building?"
Okay. At that time I was...
Kouta recounted the entire process of how he met Qu Shiai.
"Then, can you describe what the woman you saw looked like?"
"Okay. That woman's height..."
······
"One last question. Has anything unusual happened around you?" This question was added at Masaki Zen's request. Kujiin Shi didn't understand why this question was added, but since it was a friend's request, she agreed.
When Kouta heard this question, his heart tightened!
abnormal!
Are there any unusual things happening around you?
It exists!
The biggest anomaly is myself; I gained the memories of my future self at 30 years old. Is there anything more unusual than this?
In fact, Kouta has recently begun to suspect that what he has received may not be the memories of his future self, but rather the memories of his parallel world self.
Because in his memories of being 30, he had never encountered that strange woman who controlled people's minds, nor had this global astronomical event ever occurred. On the contrary, the "Suicide Law" spread throughout the world because of the suicides of those 60 people. In this world, although the new domain leader is still Sai Kaihua, the impact of the "Suicide Law" is incomparable to the situation in his memories. All of this makes Kouta more convinced that the memories he has received are his memories from the usual world, and the memories in his head are not applicable to this world at all.
"No," Kouta replied calmly.
"Okay, thank you for your cooperation. Finally, you can leave after a comprehensive physical examination." Kujiin Shi didn't misread the nervousness in Kouta's heart.
The comprehensive physical examination took some time.
It was already late at night when Kengtai finished his physical examination, and then he rushed back to Xinyu Shenglu Hospital, only to find Hui still fast asleep.
Seeing that Hui was asleep, Kouta felt relieved.
He fell asleep right next to Hui's bed.
The next day, when Hui opened her eyes, the sun was already high in the sky, and the bright sunlight shone through the window of the ward, turning the floor into a layer of white.
"Hui, you're awake! Are you hungry?"
Hui turned her head and saw Kouta by her bedside, a smile appearing on her face: "Hmm, I want to eat udon!"
"Udon. Okay, I'll go buy some."
Kouta turned around and went to buy udon noodles.
On the hospital bed, Hui's smile slowly faded.
Hui's condition did not improve; she had simply gradually become accustomed to the tearing, stinging pain in her brain.
"Transmigration is imminent, but before that, I must kill Qu Shi'ai, otherwise who knows if this woman will harm my family. But how do I find her?"
"This woman doesn't seem to know I exist, and judging from her willingness to order 60 people to jump off a building, she seems very confident in her abilities. Perhaps this is my opportunity."
Soon, Kouta returned to Hui's ward with the packed udon noodles.
While eating her udon, Hui said to Kouta, "Kouta, pack up, let's go home today. I'm fine now, and my mother has called more than a dozen times urging me to go back."
"Okay. I'll go and complete the discharge procedures now."
······
Around noon, Mao Aoki arrived at the New Domain St. Deer Hospital to pick up Hui and take her back to Aomori City.
When Mao Aoki learned that Kei was hospitalized, she was extremely anxious because Kei was her sugar daddy, and she had visited Kei several times during that time.
I was only relieved after I was absolutely certain that Hui was alright.
Throughout the journey, Kouta remained very serious, showing no signs of impulsiveness.
After arriving home in the evening, Hui and Kōta parted ways and returned to their own homes. Of course, during this time, Hui received a barrage of questions from her parents and grandfather, and Misa sternly ordered that she should never go to that so-called new area again, as it was too dangerous because of the incident where 60 people jumped off a building together!
Global astronomical events had no impact on Hui's small family; they continued with their lives as usual. Such things were too far removed from ordinary citizens like them, and there was no need for them to care.
On the contrary, the "Suicide Law" introduced by Zhai Kaihua at the very beginning shattered the values of Hui's family.
This puts them into deep thought, making them repeatedly consider whether such a law is necessary.
Moreover, it's not just Hui's family who think this way; many people in Japan, especially in the new region, are also pondering it.
When the mystery surrounding the global astronomical event was unveiled, it was proven to be just an ordinary astronomical event.
After experiencing the initial strange stillness of astronomical events, people became more grounded and began to care about things that were truly relevant to their own interests.
At this time, Zhai Kaihua's proposed "Suicide Law" began to gain traction.
In the week after Hui returned home.
In the New Territories alone, as many as 200 people have committed suicide, jumping onto train tracks, leaping from buildings, jumping into rivers, or cutting their wrists...
Zhai Kaihua thought his actions had failed, but it turned out they hadn't failed; they just took a little longer to take effect.
Chapter 155 Surveillance
Thousands of miles away, Hui had been searching for any clues about Qu Shi'ai online. In Hui's opinion, Qu Shi'ai was a woman who had never experienced any setbacks and had no idea what caution was.
This can be seen from the fact that she dared to directly order 60 people to jump off a building.
And that was Hui's chance to find her.
It's important to know that media is highly developed in modern society.
Especially in bustling places like Tokyo and New World, various media outlets, social media, and even passersby on the street will post all kinds of events happening in society online.
Qu Shiai's act of openly using his abilities to kill people can definitely be found online.
New Domain.
A large screen on the street, amidst a sea of people, was broadcasting news of a suicide that had occurred there.
"We are bringing you the operational status of the metropolitan area's lines. Due to personal accidents, the number of services on various lines has been severely reduced, resulting in many sections of the line being blocked."
Furthermore, in the section where it's unclear when operations will resume...
······
However, passersby on the street were used to these news stories, not because they lacked empathy or were cold-hearted, but simply because there had been too many such news stories in the past few days.
Almost every few minutes, a video will play showing another suicide.
The public has gone from being shocked at the beginning to taking it for granted now.
