Chapter 560 Meeting in the Cafeteria
The police officers who were still searching for the murder weapon received an order: stop searching and return to the team.
Everyone didn't know the reason, but they strictly followed the order. Soon, no one was left outside Qingshi Middle School.
It was evening, and it was time for Qingshi to finish school. The students walked out of the classroom to eat, and the cafeteria was bustling with people.
In the past, Qingshi's dinner time was half an hour, but now it has been changed to one hour. Students have plenty of free time to rest, take a walk and chat, and prepare for evening self-study.
In the corner of the cafeteria, Guan Xinmei prepared the meal and sat here alone to eat slowly.
The dinner was simple, a little fragrant rice, two vegetarian dishes, and a salty and sweet seaweed egg drop soup.
She ate very seriously, and the noise around her seemed to have nothing to do with her.
A few minutes later, Chen Yi walked into the cafeteria and sat opposite Guan Xinmei.
Two female police officers stood behind her on the left and right.
Qin Fei stood behind Chen Yi.
There were more police officers than just the four of them. The others went to find Kang Qin, and more police officers were waiting outside the school.
Qingshi has been surrounded.
At one command, a carpet search will be conducted throughout the school.
Chen Yi changed his mind and overturned the current case, and began to analyze again, judging that the reason why Guan Xinmei had top privileges in Qingshi was not because of Kou Chaoyi's special care.
In other words, it was not simply because of Kou Chaoyi's special care.
The privilege was not given by Kou Chaoyi, but Guan Xinmei fought for it through her own "efforts".
Maybe everyone is afraid of her.
Kou Chaoyi is afraid of her, Kang Qin is afraid of her, and Du Xun and others who have died are afraid of her.
She is the real boss behind Qingshi.
If Kou Chaoyi is compared to the "emperor", Guan Xinmei is probably the role of the "emperor".
Guan Xinmei stopped eating and subconsciously looked up.
"Officer Chen." She put down her chopsticks.
Chen Yi smiled and said, "It's okay, you continue to eat, we will talk while eating, there is no rush."
Guan Xinmei was surprised, looked back at the female police officer behind her, pursed her lips, and continued to eat.
Qin Fei left for a while, and when he returned, he prepared food for Chen Yi, which was almost the same as what Guan Xinmei ate, two vegetarian dishes, one rice, and a bowl of seaweed egg drop soup.
Chen Yi picked up the chopsticks and started eating. The taste was not good, and he could only feel full, but not eat well.
He did not dislike it and continued to eat.
"It's not very delicious, what do you think?" he asked Guan Xinmei.
Guan Xinmei said: "I think it's okay. I've been eating it for a few years and I'm used to it."
Chen Yi: "Then eat more, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat it in the future."
Guan Xinmei paused and looked at Chen Yi. Time and space seemed to freeze at this moment.
"I can't eat it anymore?" She was confused, "What do you mean? Is Qingshi going to be cancelled?"
Chen Yi nodded: "Well, not only Qingshi, you are also in trouble."
Guan Xinmei pointed at herself and was even more confused: "Me?"
Chen Yi took a sip of the seaweed egg drop soup and said in a calm voice: "Killing someone means paying with your life."
Guan Xinmei stopped eating and frowned: "What does Officer Chen mean, I pay with my life?"
Chen Yi continued to drink the soup until the bottom of the stainless steel bowl was empty, and then put it on the table.
He took the tissue handed by Qin Fei and wiped his mouth, staring at the girl in front of him: "You said that Sun Menglan was killed by Kou Chaoyi, you lied, right? You killed people.
Not only Sun Menglan, but also your mother Fu Peilan, boyfriend Xu Chaoyue, Xu Chaoyue's mother, and Du Xun, you killed them all."
Guan Xinmei was frightened and said in astonishment: "Chen... Officer Chen, how can you say that, why would I kill them, how can I have the ability to kill them."
When she spoke, she looked innocent and pitiful, and tears were about to burst out.
Anyone would be impressed by her acting skills.
As Professor Liu guessed, Guan Xinmei is a performer with strong psychological quality. During the investigation of the case, even Chen Yi was deceived and never doubted it from beginning to end.
This is also because Kou Chaoyi is also suspected of committing the crime. There are no loopholes in the process of committing the crime he confessed, and the motive for committing the crime is relatively reasonable.
Why is there no loophole in the process of committing the crime?
It is very likely that he witnessed Guan Xinmei's murder with his own eyes and knew all the details.
Kou Chaoyi planned to plead guilty from the beginning, so the police kept their eyes on him without any deviation.
If it were not for Professor Liu's reminder this time, Chen Yi would probably have the first false case in his hands. Whether he could realize that something was wrong before the court's judgment was really an unknown.
Qin Fei was shocked when he was in the Municipal Bureau. He did not expect that there would be a reversal in this case, and the real murderer turned out to be the victim Guan Xinmei.
Kou Chaoyi controlled Guan Xinmei?
Chen Yi said, it was the other way around, it was Guan Xinmei who controlled Kou Chaoyi.
Not only Qin Fei, but He Shixin and the others were also confused. If Guan Xinmei was really the murderer, it would be a very terrible thing.
"Why don't you have the ability?" Chen Yi asked back, "You are a normal person, you can kill with the help of tools, such as... a hammer."
Guan Xinmei's tears fell, her face turned pale with fear, and she cried: "Did Principal Kou say that? I... I didn't kill anyone, he wanted to put the blame on me!"
The acting skills limited to facial expressions only stay on the surface, and he can control the changes in his facial expressions, which is a master level.
"No, he didn't say it." Chen Yi said, "He admitted that he killed the person."
Guan Xinmei: "Then you..."
Chen Yi: "Guan Xinmei, we understand that you don't know whether your mother is alive or dead. Were you not surprised to hear that she was dead?"
Guan Xinmei: "I was just scared by Officer Chen. You actually said that I killed my mother. That's too much!"
Chen Yi: "Let's talk about mind control."
Mind control is a psychological concept, which can also be called brainwashing. In simple terms, it is a process of using a special method to break down inherent beliefs and transform them into new ideas.
The theoretical basis is conditioned reflex.
Through the continuous reinforcement of emotions, cognition and behavior, people are influenced and then controlled, so that the target obeys and surrenders.
There are many conditions that can achieve the effect of mind control, such as economic means (MLM), such as superiority and uniform dress (sects), as well as praise, fear, confession, diet control, sleep deprivation, ideological indoctrination, etc.
Chen Yi has made many assumptions. Why did Kou Chaoyi take the blame for Guan Xinmei?
Either, he is a direct relative of Guan Xinmei.
Or, he was mentally controlled by Guan Xinmei.
Direct relatives can be ruled out. It is rare for a father to reach out to his daughter in the world. This can be answered through paternity testing.
If it is mental control, how does Guan Xinmei do it?
There is another condition for mental control, that is, constant expression of care.
Using deliberate care to make Kou Chaoyi fall, this method is often seen in couples and husbands and wives, and the success rate is very high.
On the basis of care, intimidation and threats are added to finally achieve the effect of puppet obedience.
During this period, it needs to be constantly strengthened.
A few years are enough for Guan Xinmei to completely turn Kou Chaoyi into a puppet.
Kou Chaoyi himself is fascinated by Guan Xinmei, and in the face of such means, he has no resistance at all.
Professor Liu said that Guan Xinmei's mental attack is not high, which is relative.
Relative to defense, her attack power is indeed not high, but it has surpassed most ordinary people, not to mention that Kou Chaoyi is willing to be controlled, so it will succeed.
Listening to Chen Yi's words, Guan Xinmei's eyes flashed with suspicion, and her expression was still innocent: "You... I don't understand what you said. I really didn't kill anyone. Sun Menglan was killed by Principal Kou. I don't know about the others."
Chen Yi: "If you did it, there must be traces. I admit that you are very good. I lost the last round, but you can't win this round."
Behind him, Qin Fei admired Guan Xinmei to some extent. It seemed that it was the first time that Chen Yi said the word "lose".
If it were someone else, this case would definitely end after Kou Chaoyi pleaded guilty, and the case would be transferred to the procuratorate for prosecution. After sentencing, it would be sealed in the archives.
No one will ever know that the real five-kill devil is still at large, completing his studies normally and entering university, and then continuing to live in this world.
In the future, there is a high probability that there will be new victims.
Serial killers have growth potential, and people like Guan Xinmei are even more terrifying when they grow up, and may become a criminal master that gives all policemen a headache.
Others go to college to learn new knowledge, but Guan Xinmei goes to college...it will only make it more difficult for the police to catch her.
The higher the education level, the more terrifying it is.
Qin Feiguang felt horrified just thinking about it.
Guan Xinmei shed more tears: "Officer Chen believes that I killed someone...I really didn't kill anyone..."
She cried very sadly, as if a wounded kitten was treated inhumanely again.
The two policewomen were determined and were not affected at all. The person sitting in front of them was a crazy woman suspected of killing five people. They were nervous and ready to take action at any time to deal with emergencies.
Chen Yi was also unmoved and laughed: "Guan Xinmei, you have a very high status in the school. It must be not just Kou Chaoyi's care that can do this. Does Kang Qin really know nothing?"
Guan Xinmei's eyes condensed slightly, and her hands on her legs shrank and clenched.
Chen Yi stopped talking here and signaled to take Guan Xinmei back to the Municipal Bureau.
The cafeteria is not a place for interrogation. The investigation against Guan Xinmei has just begun, and clues and evidence are needed to pry her mouth open.
No matter how strong the psychological quality is, there is a limit. As long as the right point is found accurately, Guan Xinmei's psychological defense can be broken.
Chen Yi's intuition tells him that this point should be on Xu Chaoyue.
Guan Xinmei can't just find a boyfriend casually. Xu Chaoyue must have really attracted her in some way.
Why was she killed?
It is very likely that the true face of Guan Xinmei was discovered, and even Guan Xinmei's murder was known.
The only motive for killing the boyfriend she likes can only be to silence him.
This case needs to be overturned and Guan Xinmei's motive for murder should be re-examined.
Compared with Kou Chaoyi, her motive for murder may be more reasonable.
Guan Xinmei did not resist, nor could she resist, and was taken away honestly.
The surrounding students found the abnormality and looked over. Most of them looked puzzled, and a few looked suspicious. If the identity is investigated, it will be found that these suspicious eyes are all from the student union members.
In Qingshi, the student union is not heaven.
The real heaven is Guan Xinmei, who is harmless to humans and animals.
Guan Xinmei left in a police car.
After Guan Xinmei left, the evening self-study began, and all police officers rushed into Qingshi and conducted a comprehensive search of the girls' dormitory and office building.
When the evening self-study ended, the teaching building would be searched again, including the playground, leaving no corner untouched.
The purpose was to find the murder weapon.
Chen Yi judged that the murder weapon was still in the school and Guan Xinmei had not thrown it away.
Qingshi teachers had never seen so many policemen before, and almost thought that the school was under terrorist attack. The temporary principal Shen Linguo gathered all the teachers in the conference room to avoid trouble for the police.
"Principal Shen, what happened?"
"Yes, what happened?"
A young teacher asked the reason.
Shen Linguo had no idea, so he asked everyone to be patient. All teachers were not allowed to leave the conference room tonight, and they had to sleep here, not even at home.
Everyone had no choice but to obey.
Private schools have higher salaries, and those who come to Qingshi are basically here to make money. With elderly parents and young children, no one can possibly offend the police.
The oldest people present were over 60 years old. For the sake of their children, they did not stay idle after retiring from public schools. They came to Qingshi to get double salary, one for retirement salary and one for Qingshi, with a total monthly income of more than 20,000.
Poor parents, Shen Linguo also had to consider where these teachers should go. This was not the responsibility of the Education Bureau, but a personal idea.
...
Playground.
Chen Yi handed over a cigarette.
This was the first time he handed a cigarette to a girl, and he was not old.
Kang Qin hesitated, but finally took it.
She smokes.
Often.
Chen Yi lit the cigarette, then threw the lighter to Kang Qin and said, "Kang Qin, you are in danger. I really hope you can tell the truth and don't ruin your life. Guan Xinmei has been taken away by us."
Kang Qin nodded gently: "I know."
Chen Yi smiled and said, "You are well-informed. Will the students tell you?"
Kang Qin didn't speak, holding the lighter without lighting it.
Chen Yi: "Are you afraid of her?"
Kang Qin was silent.
"Kang Qin!" Chen Yi raised his voice, scaring Kang Qin, "You have to realize the seriousness of the problem! Sun Menglan is dead, Xu Chaoyue is dead, Guan Xinmei is a major suspect in the crime, have you considered the consequences of not reporting it if you know about it?"
Not reporting it if you know about it is not a crime of harboring. It depends on what Kang Qin knows and what she chooses to answer.
Kang Qin swallowed her saliva. When it comes to Guan Xinmei, she began to be afraid.
Chen Yi continued: "Do you think we don't know what happened to Qingshi after the rectification? The student union is still there, but in name only. You are still leading the student union members to exercise privileges and suppress all dissatisfied voices with violence. You have to go to jail!
Do you need me to take you to see what the prison looks like? Do you need me to take you to see what the detention center looks like?
Believe me, you don't want to go in again in your life."
He was not trying to scare Kang Qin, but really wanted her to experience the life in the detention center.
During the period of criminal detention awaiting trial, the suspects are the most difficult. The environment and diet in the detention center are enough to make 99% of the suspects regret what they did.
Although the prison loses freedom, it is at least a normal military management, while the detention center is only a temporary detention place. Suspects come in and out every day, and it is impossible for you to enjoy the norms.
Twelve words to describe: small space, crowded, and simple facilities.
In the detention center, the most basic privacy is difficult to guarantee. Everyone is looking forward to one thing: a quick trial and going to jail after the trial.
If Kang Qin was sent to the detention center for beating someone, she wouldn't be able to bear it for a day.
If she still didn't tell the truth, Chen Yi was going to send her in to see her through it, so that she would know how important it was to abide by the law.
