Chapter 326: The Cornered Beasts Struggle (2/2)
Xu Xiaodong whispered to Lin Dongxue, “This parent has gone crazy. We need to detain her and prevent her from hurting others again... I have contacted the local police station already.”
Lin Dongxue said helplessly, “This seems like the only thing we can do.”
The bureau called and told Lin Dongxue that Fan Lixue's mobile phone signal had just appeared on Shengli East Street. Lin Dongxue remembered that Fan Lixue didn't seem to live there. She hurried to the school office and borrowed the cla.s.s register from the form teacher to confirm. Han Jingming's family lived on Shengli East Street.
Lin Dongxue said to Xu Xiaodong, “Fan Lixue went to Han Jingming. She is not going to put up an act anymore. She will probably carry out some extreme action! Let's hurry to stop her!”
When the two arrived there hurriedly, they only found Han Jingming's crying and distressed parents. When Lin Dongxue asked, the parents scrambled with each other to say, “Our Jingming just got a call and went out without a word. I thought that she was going downstairs to buy something, but who would have thought that she still wouldn't have come back after so long? Her phone has been turned off as well!” “Please hurry and bring her back to us! I'm so scared that our Jingming would end up like those other children!”
The two investigated the scene briefly. Han Jingming had gone out of her own volition. Just when Lin Dongxue was puzzling over this, Lin Qiupu called, and Lin Dongxue reported the situation to him. Lin Qiupu said, “Don't blame yourself. Jingming might have been guided to go out if Ji Changxin had previously hypnotized her. We have just detained the three staff members from the store that he worked at, and confirmed that all three had been guided by a post-hypnotic suggestion. The so-called post-hypnotic suggestion involves burying a command in the brain, and a gesture, phrase, or a sign can trigger it.”
“If Ji Changxin had hypnotized Han Jingming previously, why didn't they kill her then?”
“I'm afraid that's something that we can only find out once he's arrested. There's currently a warrant out for his arrest and I've mobilized all my forces to arrest him.”
“I'll continue to look for these two girls, and if necessary, I will ask the police station in this district to aid us.”
“Okay! By the way, with regard to Ji Changxin's motive, according to what we found, he has a daughter around the same age as Fan Lixue. The daughter had also suffered bullying at school, but as he had already divorced his wife at the time, he couldn't do anything. So we're speculating that the motive for helping Fan Lixue is due to sympathy.”
“So that's what this is about...” Lin Dongxue didn't expect this to be the reason. “Can we really convict him for murder using hypnosis?”
“Given the incident that happened today, the bureau chief has indicated that Ji Changxin is very dangerous. Be sure to arrest him first and whether he gets convicted will be something that can be looked into afterwards.”
“I will tell you if there's any progress on our side.”
“Good!”
Throughout the day, the criminal police and the local police looked for Ji Changxin everywhere. Around 4PM, the police found the lost police car through a traffic probe, but Ji Changxin was no longer in it.
At six o'clock in the evening, Gu You's clinic was closed for the day. Gu You had left with another colleague. When she went back to the office to retrieve a doc.u.ment that she had forgotten, she suddenly found that her colleague had collapsed on the floor and that the back of his head was covered with blood.
Ji Changxin was wearing a dark coat, and holding an iron rod in his hand. His eyes and expression was like that of a crazed stray dog.
“Boss Gu, you didn't expect me to be here, did you?” Ji Changxin sneered.
Gu You glanced at the surveillance monitor in the upper right corner. There was no doubt that Ji Changxin had been recorded just now. “It seems that you don't intend to behave like a human being anymore,” she said.
Ji Changxin's fury was instantly ignited by these words. He spat and roared, “Who was it? Who was the one who pushed me to this?! And who was the one who kept fanning the fire and making the police suspect me?!”
