Chapter 15 Poppy 15
The wind from the top floor messed up Luo Siwei's hair. She looked fearless and moved quickly.
When Cha Junxi saw her rushing towards him, he swung the knife in his hand at her without hesitation. A cold light flashed, and the sharp knife pierced Luo Siwei's chest.
Luo Si ducked slightly to avoid the attack, and her elbow hit Cha Junxi's side chest from below, forcing the man to take a half step back.
Cha Junxi wanted to stab again, but Luo Siwei dodged to the side, then turned around and kicked, hitting Cha Junxi right in the ribs. The knife in his hand missed and hit the guardrail on the platform with a clanging sound.
Cha Junxi's arm was numb from the shock, but Luo Siwei reacted quickly. She seized the opportunity, reached out, grabbed Cha Junxi's wrist with a grappling technique, and then twisted it hard.
Cha Junxi felt a pain in his wrist, and the knife in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.
Without waiting for him to make any further moves, Luo Siwei raised her knee and suddenly hit Cha Junxi's abdomen. Cha Junxi groaned in pain.
Before he could bend down to pick up the weapon, Luo Siwei stepped aside and kicked the knife several meters away. Then, she grabbed Cha Junxi's arm with all her might. Cha Junxi tried to break free from Luo Siwei's grip, but Luo Siwei held him tightly, and the two of them grappled for a moment.
At this moment, Cha Junxi's face changed, his expression became fierce, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.
Yu Wanying was already dead, and he was found by the police again. He wanted to fight to the death, even if it meant death, he would take someone else with him.
Thinking of this, Cha Junxi made up his mind and pulled Luo Siwei to jump downstairs together. He had the upper hand in strength and one leg stepped onto the high platform...
Luo Siwei felt a strong force coming from her hand. She felt her body being pulled and she felt a sense of loss of control.
At that moment, Luo Siwei suddenly thought of her mother, who had fallen to her death that year...
"Captain Luo!" Shen Qing, who was behind them, arrived first. He had just opened the door to the rooftop when he saw this terrifying scene and cried out in surprise. However, they were more than ten meters away and had no time to grab the two men...
In a flash.
Luo Siwei suddenly raised her head, and her seemingly slender body burst out with tremendous strength.
Taking advantage of Cha Junxi's action of holding her, Luo Siwei kicked Cha Junxi's calf with all her strength. Cha Junxi felt a sharp pain in his leg, let out a scream, and had to stop.
Taking advantage of the other party's injury, Luo Siwei's body fell back. She did not let Cha Junxi pull her away, but instead pulled him down from the high platform.
The two men fell to the ground together.
During the struggle, Luo Siwei's right arm hit the guardrail on the side. She only felt a pain in her arm, and without bothering to check the wound, she kicked Cha Junxi again. Cha Junxi fell down, and Luo Siwei turned over and knocked him down, making him unable to move.
Everything happened in an instant, and the scene was thrilling enough.
Before Cha Junxi could stand up and fight back, Shen Qing and another male police officer arrived. They worked together to hold him down and handcuffed him.
Ni Xiang also ran forward and pulled Luo Siwei up: "Captain Luo, are you okay?"
Luo Siwei shook her arm. Although it was a little painful, she thought there was no bone injury. She shook her head and said, "I'm fine."
Two male police officers pulled Cha Junxi up, and Luo Siwei followed him downstairs and watched him being escorted into the police car.
Four days after Yu Wanying's body was discovered, the culprit was finally arrested by the police.
In the interrogation room of the Donglan City Third Branch, Cha Junxi's hands were handcuffed to the interrogation chair. Under the overhead light, his face was pale.
In the afternoon of the interrogation, Cha Junxi finally bowed his head and confessed his crime: "Yes...I killed her."
One day two years ago, Cha Junxi suddenly saw Yu Wanying in the crowd. He felt it was love at first sight. At that time, he felt that the girl was glowing.
At that first glance, he was deeply attracted to her and his eyes never left her.
He quickly found out who Yu Wanying was. He didn't dare approach her directly, so he stalked her. He would secretly peer into her dormitory window from downstairs, follow her to restaurants she frequented, and observe her every move. After Yu Wanying started posting videos online, he felt even more that everything about her perfectly matched his fantasy.
He began to become more and more crazy, looking for and buying all the information about Yu Wanying. Ye Ruxi sold Yu Wanying's private photos, and he became her long-term customer.
At the same time, Cha Junxi registered many small accounts to get close to Yu Wanying.
"She must like me!"
"Before... I met her on campus. She was looking at me and smiling! She even looked in my direction on purpose!"
"Look at what she posted on Weibo before: 'Thank you to the people in my life who have silently given to me.' Isn't this a hint to me?"
"One time I left a message on her Weibo saying I wanted to hear a song, and she posted a cover the next day. Doesn't that mean she's interested in me?"
"I didn't hide it from her on purpose...I was just trying to cheer her up."
The interrogation lasted from noon to afternoon, and the criminal police were replaced several times.
Cha Junxi burst into tears and hysterics at times. He kept avoiding the main point and even said that he and Yu Wanying were lovers and that Yu Wanying's death was an accident.
Luo Siwei listened to him say all this in the observation room, and finally went out to interrogate him personally.
"That was not an accident." Luo Siwei presented evidence to Cha Junxi one by one.
"Those things are just your imagination. The police didn't find any contact between Yu Wanying and you beyond ordinary friends on her phone or computer."
"The forensic doctor found anesthetic ingredients in Yu Wanying's body. In addition, she had resistance wounds on her body, which means you violated her will..."
"Xiaozhu's account caused her to misunderstand."
"First, use Xiaozhu's account to say you want to go to Donglan to visit her and celebrate her birthday with her... Then use your main account to say you can go pick her up together."
"You used this as an excuse to trick Yu Wanying out, and on the way to the train station, you gave her a bottle of spiked drink. You already knew that was Yu Wanying's favorite flavor."
"She was defenseless at the time and opened the bottle cap. You watched Yu Wanying drink the drug, and then when she passed out, you used the excuse that your girlfriend wasn't feeling well and wanted to go home, and told the driver the return address. The driver took a detour without even suspecting anything."
"You brought Yu Wanying to where you lived, which was across from the residential complex where she lived. Then you woke her up. Yu Wanying screamed for help and tried to leave, but you strangled her neck with a ribbon..."
"Cha Junxi, you are lying. These are not accidents. You have planned this for a long time."
Luo Siwei was calm and had clear logic. She was not led astray by Cha Junxi's performance, but instead shattered his lies one by one.
This was a deformed love affair, a one-sided wishful thinking on his part.
Listening to what Luo Siwei said, Cha Junxi seemed to be back at the scene of the crime. He clasped his hands tightly around the girl's neck, feeling her eyes wide open and unable to breathe. The girl struggled under him, scratching his arms with her hands.
It was a long five minutes. He was breathing heavily, his heart was beating rapidly, and he used his hands to stare at the woman under him until Yu Wanying stopped moving.
He was in an extremely happy mood at that time.
But he couldn't express this. Cha Junxi put on a sad expression: "At that time... I just wanted to confess to her. I love her. I love her so much, how could I bear to hurt her..."
Cha Junxi burst into tears again, pouring out his love for Yu Wanying. Then he cried, "I'm sorry... I'm sorry for her... I'm sorry for her parents."
Luo Siwei could see that Cha Junxi's confession and tears were all fake.
He lured Yu Wanying into a trap step by step, and everything was premeditated. He killed someone, but instead of calling the police, he chose to destroy the body.
During those days, he was afraid that the matter would be exposed, so he still went to class during the day and pretended to be calm by updating his Weibo and WeChat. He was very calm when dealing with the follow-up, choosing to dispose of the body in a remote place, keeping an eye on the progress of the case, and installing surveillance cameras in the room and corridor.
Luo Siwei was unmoved by his sobbing. She continued to check the details: "That night, you went to buy a piece of women's underwear."
"I couldn't let her leave dirty... I gave her a bath, went to the supermarket and bought her a pair of white underwear and changed her into clean clothes."
"I've been hypnotizing myself and lying to myself. I told myself that Yu Wanying is not dead yet, she agreed, and we are together."
Cha Junxi's lips trembled as he spoke some disgusting details. At night, he combed Yu Wanying's hair bit by bit with a comb, letting the corpse lie beside him and accompany him to sleep.
The straps of Yu Wanying's dress came loose, and he tied them up carefully...
The next morning, he used Yu Wanying's key to open her door and took away her laptop.
When he couldn't sleep at night, he would chatter incessantly to Yu Wanying's corpse about his crazy love for her.
They stayed together like this for two days, until on the third day, the body gave off a smell that could no longer be concealed.
He kept Yu Wanying's phone and computer as a keepsake, reluctantly placing her in a suitcase. Under cover of darkness, he dumped the suitcase near a nearby ditch. He had also deliberately chosen a relatively clean, flat spot. It was so remote, he figured no one would find it. After the exam week was over, he would find a way to transport the body to a more secluded location.
After confessing the entire criminal process, Cha Junxi sat there with his shoulders drooping and his face dejected.
"It's a good thing you caught me. For the past few days, except for classes, I have been locked in my room. It feels like I am in hell. Later, when you found Ye Ruxi, I was scared and asked for leave. I didn't even dare to go to school."
"In the past, I was always revolving around Yu Wanying. After she died, I suddenly had no goal. Do you understand that feeling? It's like I was a clockwork, and I suddenly lost my direction and my motivation to live..."
"I really thought she had feelings for me too. This was an accident. I didn't mean to kill her." Cha Junxi covered his face and cried bitterly, "I wish I could be with her right now."
Luo Siwei looked at him. Cha Junxi acted crazy and stupid in front of the police, trying to pretend that he had mental problems, trying to say that Yu Wanying's death was an accident, and even trying to gain sympathy.
Luo Siwei has interrogated too many prisoners, and she can clearly judge which are lies and which are the truth.
Just this morning, this man wanted to take her with him to jump off the building.
Cha Junxi was not heartbroken, but was at the end of his rope.
Cha Junxi is still alive, but Yu Wanying is dead. His so-called love is a blasphemy to Yu Wanying.
If the police hadn't found out that Cha Junxi was the murderer, he would have quickly gotten over the murder. He would have forgotten Yu Wanying, chosen a new target, a new prey, and set his sights on another girl...
Thinking of this, she decided to tear off Cha Junxi's last disguise, which was also the last layer of painted skin on his body.
Luo Siwei leaned forward and whispered to Cha Junxi, "Do you know how the police found you?"
Cha Junxi stopped wiping his tears and looked up at the policewoman in front of him. There was no trace of sadness in his eyes.
Luo Siwei asked him: "What does MYD mean?"
The policewoman's eyes were deep, as if she had long seen through the perversion, desire and filth hidden deep in his heart.
From the beginning to the end, Cha Junxi was satisfying his perverted desires. Since entering that room, he had left no way for Yu Wanying to survive. Without Yu Wanying, there would be other victims.
Cha Junxi said in a panic: "It doesn't mean anything else, it just means..."
Luo Siwei interrupted him and whispered the English words: "Make you die."
For a moment, Cha Junxi seemed to have been hit by a fatal acupoint, and he was stunned for a moment.
Then he took off all his disguises, and the person in front of him was no longer the "love-crazy" "otaku" student. His skin was torn apart, and the devil revealed his true face.
Cha Junxi's pupils moved upwards, turned up coldly, revealing the whites of his eyes. He looked up at Luo Siwei from below, a smile began to spread from the corners of his mouth, revealing his sharp fangs, and then he let out a chuckle.
In the quiet interrogation room, his laughter sounded terrifying.
After laughing a few times, he leaned over to Luo Siwei's ear and said, "Officer, you understand me very well. It's a pity that we didn't meet earlier, otherwise I might have been interested in you."
Luo Siwei stood up and said coldly: "You won't have another chance."
After Cha Junxi's confession was recorded, the arrest warrant was approved. He will be criminally detained according to law and held in Donglan's No. 1 Detention Center.
Before leaving get off work in the afternoon, Luo Siwei personally took Shen Qing to escort him there.
There are three detention centers in Donglan. The first one is located in the southwest of the city. It is a bit remote and there are no other buildings around it. It is specially used to detain serious criminal offenders.
There are two columns of large characters written on the left and right of the entrance to the detention center: "Standardized law enforcement, civilized management." It looks solemn and dignified.
There are many prison guards in police uniforms inside, and the security is tight.
Luo Siwei completed the formalities at the door and passed through the layers of iron bars.
There is a fixed process for prison guards to formally receive prisoners.
According to the rules, in addition to searching the prisoner to remove contraband, they also need to undergo a physical examination. The entire physical examination process takes about half an hour, and all routine checks must be done. Finally, the person who brought the prisoner in and the examining doctor must sign for the handover.
Many prisoners were brought in with injuries and needed to be assessed by doctors. This was also to avoid problems in the detention center and unclear responsibilities.
After Luo Siwei finished the formalities, a doctor came out from the detention center's duty room. He was a young man of about 27 or 28 years old, very tall, wearing a mask and a hat, with only a pair of eyes exposed.
Luo Siwei often came to hand over prisoners and had dealt with this prison doctor twice. He also saw his name on the signature form. The doctor's surname was Lin, Lin Shuangting, and he was the prison doctor in charge here.
Luo Siwei watched as Shen Qing led Cha Junxi inside and handed him over to Lin Shuangting for a physical examination. Half an hour later, Cha Junxi, still handcuffed, changed his clothes and emerged with a file. Aside from two scratches, he had no other issues.
After a few tense days, Luo Siwei finally finished the case and breathed a sigh of relief. All that was left for Ni Xiang and Shen Qing to do was finish the report.
It is now past the end of working hours and they are out on field work, so they don't need to go back to the police station.
Luo Siwei turned around and was about to leave when she suddenly heard a voice behind her calling her: "Captain Luo, is your hand okay?"
Luo Si was stunned for a moment, turned around and saw that it was the prison doctor Lin who called her. She was a little confused, and Lin Shuangting pointed at her arm.
Luo Siwei then raised his right arm and looked outside.
During the arrest that afternoon, she hadn't thought her arm had any bones broken, so she hadn't taken it seriously. But now she saw that her skin had been scraped, and blood had seeped through her clothes. The blood had long since dried, leaving a dark red patch on the outside of her arm.
Shen Qing became nervous: "Captain Luo, let me take you to the hospital."
"It's okay, I don't feel any pain. I can just go home and take care of it myself." Luo Siwei waved his hand, "If you're late, the wound will heal."
The hospital was about to close, and Luo Siwei didn't want to go to the emergency room. She just wanted to go home and have a good sleep.
Shen Qing insisted: "At least disinfect the wound."
The prison doctor, Lin, stood at the side, listening to the two of them arguing. Suddenly, he said, "Captain Luo, come with me. I'll treat your wound."
Shen Qing turned his head, his eyes full of doubt: "Can you...?" In his impression, the prison doctor seemed to be responsible for the physical examination of prisoners and prescribing routine medications for patients.
Prison Doctor Lin chuckled and said, "Don't treat prison doctors as non-physicians."
Shen Qing then realized that any bumps, illnesses, or fevers that the prisoners had should be treated by this prison doctor.
The two followed Lin Shuangting through the long corridor of the detention center. At the end of the corridor was a prison doctor's studio.
Lin Shuangting let Luo Siwei in. Shen Qing was about to follow in when Lin Shuangting held out his hand to stop her: "No entry for outsiders."
Shen Qing finally realized that the prison doctor was seeking revenge. At this moment, the doctor was the most important. He took two steps back, watching Lin Shuangting close the door with some reluctance, and waited outside.
Lin Shuangting slammed the door shut. He turned around and saw Luo Siwei sitting on a chair, looking a little awkward.
Luo Siwei asked him, "Can you open that door?" She hadn't been alone in a room with a young man for a long time, and she felt a little embarrassed and a little scared.
Lin Shuangting hesitated for a moment, then opened the inner door again, leaving only the iron bars on the outside. This was a detention center, and even the prison doctor's room had double doors.
The door opened and Luo Siwei felt that her breathing became much smoother.
To distract herself, she surveyed the prison infirmary. It resembled a typical hospital emergency room, with a table and chairs on one side and a bed behind a curtain on the other. The room was clean and tidy, with books neatly arranged from top to bottom.
Lin Shuangting went to the nearby sink to wash his hands and change into gloves. He took Luo Siwei's arm and checked on her.
Luo Siwei unbuttoned her cuffs, revealing her fair arms. Her wrists were thin, and she didn't show the strength she would need to face the enemy.
The wound was left in the morning, a large abrasion. After such a long time, the clothes had long been stuck to the blood scab.
"The wound is not shallow." Lin Shuangting said, "I'll disinfect you first and tear off your clothes. It might hurt a little."
Luo Siwei said politely, "It's okay, thank you for your hard work, Doctor Lin."
Prison doctor Lin lowered his head, wiped the bloodstains with iodine, and then carefully separated the clothes from the wound bit by bit.
After a moment of silence, Luo Siwei asked, "Prison Doctor Lin, are you assigned to the detention center?"
Lin Shuangting looked up at her and shook his head: "My position is in the Third Hospital, and I volunteered to be assigned here."
Luo Siwei was a little surprised. Many doctors were reluctant to work in the detention center. The prisoners here were difficult to deal with and the responsibilities were greater. Besides, being a doctor obviously looked more promising than being a prison doctor. At least it sounded much better.
Without even looking up, Lin Shuangting explained, "It's quiet here." He then took the initiative to ask Luo Siwei, "Do you police officers often get injured?"
Luo Siwei said, "Sometimes we have to catch criminals, it's unavoidable." Most of the time, the male team members and Lao Han would rush to the front, but she didn't like the feeling of being given special care.
Lin Shuangting continued, "I heard from them that the prisoner was a murderer. He tried to jump off the building when he was being arrested, and your injuries were caused by that time."
Luo Siwei hummed: "I was injured during the arrest."
"It's better to let him jump himself. Anyway, he is a murderer and should be sentenced to death. Wouldn't it be the end of it if he jumped?" Lin Shuangting's voice came out from the mask. It was a slightly low male voice. It sounded gentle, but the topic of conversation was very cold.
Luo Siwei blinked and said, "It's different. If he jumped to his death at that time, he would have committed suicide out of fear of punishment. If the police caught him and he died in the future, he would have been put on trial."
Lin Shuangting seemed a little confused: "We're all going to die anyway, the outcome is the same, isn't it the same whether we die sooner or later?"
This is also the view of many people nowadays. Luo Siwei patiently explained to him: "There is a huge difference. The cause of death is different, the legal significance is different, and the warning to the world and the meaning to the victim's family are all different..."
"But what if he takes you away? I've seen many prisoners here, and most of them deserve death." Lin Shuangting raised his head to look at her, shook his head slightly, and said to her, "It's not worth it."
Luo Siwei lowered his head and said, "I'm a police officer. It's normal for some problems to occur during an arrest. This is the job of a criminal police officer. Bringing every criminal to justice is what we should do."
She spoke with righteous indignation, and even felt that such values were somewhat traditional and conservative, but there were always people who needed to do such work and make such decisions.
Obviously, she and Dr. Lin have different values.
Lin Shuangting didn't say anything else. He applied a little force with his fingers, and the wound and clothes were torn apart.
The wound was a bit deep, so Lin Shuangting disinfected and bandaged it for her. Luo Siwei didn't make a sound during the whole process. It's impossible to say that it didn't hurt at all, but the pain was still within her tolerance.
Although she didn't cry out in pain, a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead. Her hair, which had been hanging for a whole day, finally became loose. Luo Siwei simply pulled the hair tie with her left hand and let her hair fall down.
Her hair was black and straight, reaching past her shoulder blades.
Lin Shuangting quickly applied medicine and bandaged her wound.
Since childhood, Luo Siwei didn't like others touching her. She could touch others, but she would feel uncomfortable if others touched her. This discomfort was even greater than the pain of the wound.
So when Lin Shuangting was bandaging her, Luo Siwei was trying hard to hypnotize herself. Her hypnosis was somewhat effective, and she hadn't slept well in the past few days, so she felt a little sleepy in the end.
"Alright." Lin Shuangting finished treating her wound and lowered his head to take off his mask. This was the first time Luo Siwei saw him without his mask. The man in front of her had regular features and looked quite handsome.
Luo Siwei thanked him earnestly: "Dr. Lin, thank you."
Lin Shuangting said, "You're welcome. I'm just bored and want you to owe me a favor."
When Luo Siwei heard him say this, she didn't know how to respond for a moment.
"Captain Luo, can I add your WeChat?" Lin Shuangting added, "This is for after-sales service for patients. If you feel uncomfortable, you can contact me."
Luo Siwei took out her cell phone and added him.
After bandaging the wound, Lin Shuangting opened the iron gate. Shen Qing was still waiting in the corridor.
The two of them went out together, and Shen Qing took the car keys: "Captain Luo, let me drive back."
Luo Siwei hummed.
The two of them got in the car. Shen Qing saw that her hair was disheveled and she looked a little listless. She asked tentatively in a low voice, "Captain Luo, that prison doctor Lin is acting strangely. He doesn't look like a good person."
Luo Siwei usually treated Shen Qing as a colleague, a subordinate, or even a younger brother. In the entire team, she, Shen Qing, and Ni Xiang were close in age and had the best relationship. Now that she was off work, Shen Qing cared about her and she spoke directly.
Luo Siwei had always been very sensitive. There was something strange about the way that prison doctor Lin looked at people, a kind of polite distance. Luo Siwei and Lin Shuangting added each other on WeChat, but she wasn't so narcissistic as to mistakenly believe that Lin Shuangting liked her.
Thinking of this, Luo Siwei felt very tired and was too lazy to explain to Shen Qing. She turned her head and looked out the window: "Drive carefully."
Shen Qing sent Luo Siwei all the way to her doorstep.
The house was the same as when she left. The first thing Luo Siwei had to do was to tidy up her flowers. Those flowers were in full bloom in the past few days, but when time came, even the most beautiful flowers would wither.
Luo Siwei trimmed the flowers.
After finishing all this, Luo Siwei turned on his mobile phone and saw that the police notice had finally been issued. A brief report with white text on a blue background briefly summarized the entire case.
This time, the police solved the case quickly. The girl's death caused heated discussion and mourning among the people.
Then other voices emerged. After a while, Ni Xiang said in the group: "The media nowadays is too much. What kind of things are they writing about..."
She threw out a few links, all freshly published reports on the case from social media outlets: murder, female university student, internet celebrity—these terms quickly captured the attention of ordinary people. In a flash, the Yu Meiren case quickly gained widespread attention online.
Luo Siwei discovered that those reports seemed to be evaluating the case in a fair manner, but in fact they were secretly carrying their own agenda.
Her brow furrowed slightly.
The report pointed out several issues: First, the victim, Yu, had a poor reputation at school and poor relationships with her classmates. She was materialistic and, at a young age, sought to become an internet celebrity, creating multiple online accounts and neglecting her career. She also had ambiguous relationships with boys, was involved in multiple relationships, and had questionable character. To bolster the credibility of the report, the report also cited Ye Ruxi's previous slanderous comments against Yu Wanying, as well as comments from her detractors.
Second, the suspect, Cha, whose parents are divorced, has been self-reliant since childhood, excelling academically and morally. His parents, aside from giving him money, have little regard for him, leaving him virtually without a lover's memory. Cha is helpful, honest, and a typical homebody, with good relationships with teachers and classmates. He is highly accomplished in computer science and has the potential to become a prominent figure in related fields. Prior to this incident, he had no criminal record and had never even had a girlfriend.
Third, according to insiders, the two are actually a secret couple. They even have many matching couple outfits and clothes. They often check in at the same place, which is evidence of their secret dating. The two also added each other on various WeChat accounts and contact information, often chatting late into the night.
Cha spent a lot of money to reward Yu. On Yu's birthday, Cha also prepared a large amount of flowers and cakes to celebrate her birthday.
Fourth, Cha felt extremely remorseful afterwards and even wanted to commit suicide by jumping off the building, but was rescued by the police at the scene.
In the comments below, some people pretended to be insiders to confuse the public, saying that Cha discovered that Yu was cheating on him, and that Cha accidentally killed Yu in anger because he could not get the love he wanted.
Soon, people imagined the story of Aquaman angering an honest man.
After seeing such reports, Luo Siwei saw through the other party's tricks, which were to stigmatize the victim, whitewash the murderer, portray the murderer as a tragic figure, and maliciously guide people's associations.
In order to attract attention, those media outlets confuse right and wrong and call a horse a zebra.
What is even more despicable is that these reports seem to have been prepared for a long time, using a lot of past online comments, mixing facts and slander with half truth and half falsehood.
They avoided the main issue and did not mention the long-term stalking and harassment that Yu Wanying faced, nor did they mention the bullying by classmates such as Ye Ruxi. Instead, they attributed everything to Yu Wanying's lack of self-respect and her own fault as a materialistic scumbag.
People who read the report for the first time simply cannot tell which ones are true and which ones are false.
There were many more people just watching the show than fans who were familiar with Yu Wanying's personality. Soon, the posts mourning Yu Wanying and speaking for her were drowned out by the noise of people's discussions. Many people even began to sympathize with Cha Junxi, believing that he was deeply in love. Some online trolls even started to insult the deceased.
Later, Luo Siwei did a search and found that there was not just one piece of news like this, but a batch of it. It was obvious that someone was deliberately releasing it. I don’t know if it was Cha Junxi’s parents or someone else who was doing this on purpose.
Luo Siwei watched all this and couldn't calm down. As the criminal police in charge of this case, she knew every detail of it.
Cha Junxi is a murderous perverted demon.
These media are the devils who help the evildoers and guide public opinion without distinguishing right from wrong.
Those who rashly believed the online claims, became indignant, and began to criticize Yu Wanying were like flies attracted by the smell of blood.
Yu Wanying was slandered like this even after her death. It's not enough to kill the person, but also to destroy her heart.
If catching the murderer was a fight with swords and spears, now a war without the smoke of gunpowder has begun.
Luo Siwei thought for a moment and felt that she couldn't just sit back and do nothing. She had to take care of this matter. Before asking her boss for instructions, Luo Siwei first called her high school classmate Su Yenan.
After high school, Su Ye Nan went to Donglan Media and joined a news media company after graduation. Maybe she would have some news there.
Su Ye Nan saw that it was Luo Siwei calling, and quickly picked up the phone: "Hello, Luo Luo, are you contacting me about the recent Yu Meiren case?"
Luo Siwei said: "Yes, have you seen the news too?"
"I see. This is the biggest news tonight. I'm also working on my manuscript. Luo Luo, please give me some inside information."
Luo Siwei said helplessly: "The case has not yet been heard, so those details cannot be disclosed. I can only tell you that the reports are not true. The girl respects herself and has never had anything to do with that man."
Su Ye Nan nodded and wrote down her words: "I am writing a rebuttal article."
Luo Siwei asked: "I want to know who is buying this information."
She is a police officer and her work is over now, but Luo Siwei really can't stand this and she wants to find out who is behind it.
Su Ye Nan was in a dilemma: "This is not easy to investigate. Those online trolls are paid to do their jobs. I guess they are family members, trying to create public opinion for the subsequent interrogation? Or do they have other purposes?"
Luo Siwei asked again, "Is there any way to suppress this news? Or to effectively refute the other party's statement?"
Su Ye Nan thought for a moment and said, "Use some official media to write reports? But that won't work either. By the time your official media writes about it, the opportunity will be gone."
Luo Siwei was also in a dilemma. She could apply to have the false information deleted, but the process was complicated, and the branch office didn't have sufficient authority, so she had to go through the process with the municipal bureau. By the time she finished the process, the matter had already fermented.
Furthermore, the more censorship is applied at this stage, the more curious people will become, the more they will forward and discuss the news. Even if official media outlets speak out later, they will be accused of deliberately whitewashing the situation at a cost. This will put them in a very passive position.
Su Ye Nan said, "Although I'm writing a rebuttal article, I can't stand it, and I want to be unique and attract people's attention. In my opinion, the chances of winning are slim now that the comments are so one-sided. At a time like this, we must hire a professional PR company." She paused and said, "Unless..."
Luo Siwei seemed to see a glimmer of hope: "Unless what?"
"Unless the dead start to speak." Su Ye Nan sighed, "The key to this matter is that one of the parties involved has been arrested and the other has passed away, which gives the media room to speak out."
At this point, she kindly reminded him, "Lolo, don't get too excited and rush into it. If anyone spits at you right now, they'll drown you."
"I won't." Luo Siwei knew that she would lose her job if she revealed the police information at this time. But seeing this scene, she felt a little powerless and helpless. "Then I will think of a way. If you have any news, tell me."
After hanging up the phone, Luo Siwei looked at the information online again. Yu Wanying's black fans became active, and the slander against her was overwhelming. In this battlefield of public opinion, the other side had an absolute advantage.
Just as she was still racking her brains for a solution, Su Ye Nan suddenly sent her a message: "The dead are speaking!!!!!!!!!"
The row of exclamation marks at the end was enough to show her surprise.
Luo Siwei slowly typed a "?".
"Really? Go and see!" Su Ye Nan couldn't hide his excitement. "She's definitely going to win. She's so brave, she's really great! My hands are shaking, I feel like crying right now."
At the same time, there was new news in the police station’s work group, and Ni Xiang also shared it in the group: "Yu Meiren’s account has released a video!"
Luo Siwei clicked on the link and a video popped up on the webpage. Yu Wanying appeared in the screen. She was wearing a light blue dress and looked a little tired.
Having seen Yu Wanying's corpse and now seeing her image, Luo Siwei felt as if he was in another world.
Then Luo Siwei reacted. The dead cannot be resurrected. This was a video that Yu Wanying had recorded a long time ago. She set it to play automatically, and the video played automatically when the time came.
"By the time you see this video, I may no longer be in this world." Yu Wanying's first sentence was shocking, and she continued.
"Yeah, some bad things happened to me."
"My friends all know that I have been stalked and harassed since last year."
"This harassment is not only online, but also in real life. I have received a lot of harassing messages and death threats."
"I was so scared. I felt like someone was hiding behind the crowd and watching me, but I didn't know who it was. I couldn't sleep all night and even developed depression because of it."
"When the situation wasn't so serious, I went to the police station once. The officers comforted me and told me that even with the current police technology, it would be difficult to find this person. This person is currently only verbally harassing me. There is no solid evidence to prove that he is stalking me, and it is difficult for them to take compulsory measures. If they find him and go through the legal process, he may sit across from me, learn more about me, and reconcile with me."
"I ended up walking out of the police station and no case was filed."
"And that man knew I had tried to call the police before and warned me that if I did so again he would kill me and my family..."
"I investigated many cases and finally realized that the police could do nothing until the person actually harmed me. I passed the postgraduate study abroad and tried to leave the country as soon as possible, hoping to avoid that person. But I could still feel that danger was right beside me."
"I can only try not to act alone, avoid going to places with few people, communicate only with people I know, not eat food given by strangers, and pay attention to my own safety."
Luo Siwei listened quietly. Resolving this kind of situation was a challenge not only domestically but also internationally. Police resources were limited, making it difficult to fully protect a single girl. If the stalker merely made verbal threats and no harm occurred, it wouldn't be considered a criminal offense; at most, it would be a civil dispute.
She couldn't blame Yu Wanying for not being careful enough. But once tragedy happened, it was irreversible.
"Last night, I had a dream. I dreamed that I was killed by that stalker again. In the dream, I left this world in a hurry, without even being able to say a proper goodbye to everyone..."
"I also dreamt that someone was smearing me, describing me as a terrible person, and making up stories about me."
"After waking up, I recorded this video. I set the video to be automatically released after a period of time. So starting tomorrow, the first thing I will do when I log in to my account is to change the release time of the video.
"I will always pay attention to the situation around me. If everything gets better, I will delete this message. If the danger still exists, I will keep it. In other words, once I stop changing the broadcast time, everyone will see it a week after my death."
Yu Wanying on the screen explained why she recorded this video.
"I've been running a video account for a while now. I'm glad to meet you all. Although I have a lot of fans who support me, I've also encountered a lot of troubles..."
"I don't know why, but the online atmosphere is so violent these days, and people aren't as friendly to each other anymore. It makes me think a lot before I say or do anything. The photos I post could put me in danger, and simple comments I make can be misinterpreted. No matter what I do, there will always be people who object."
"I feel like a flower trapped in a cage. I want to get out and take a look, but there are crows circling overhead and hyenas hiding in the darkness around me. They are excited, as if they are waiting for a feast."
"I'm afraid of the outside world. Those people scare me."
"I don't know when rumors about me started spreading online. I want to reiterate here that I come from an ordinary family. Both my parents are teachers. I have never dated anyone, nor have I had any intimate relationships with anyone of the opposite sex. I created my own social media account to prove that I have many possibilities and that I can support myself."
"The person others talk about is not me. What you see now is the real me."
In the camera, Yu Wanying is beautiful, with a white face, a slender neck, and long hair, reminiscent of a princess in a fairy tale, an elf fallen into the mortal world. But such a girl is telling her last words. She tries to keep her voice steady.
"Finally, I want to reserve some time for those who love me and those I love. I hope my parents are healthy and happy, and I hope my friends will be successful in their studies and live happily..."
Yu Wanying smiled and recounted the warm moments in her life, looking back on her life. That was the beautiful side of her life.
If only there weren't those dark truths.
Yu Wanying was finally nearing the end of her speech.
"These are my last words. I feel much better after saying this. Thank you all for listening to me. I hope that no one will ever see this video."
"Also, I already have a premonition of how people would react to this video if I were still alive. They would probably say I'm hyping it up to attract attention, that I'm complaining without reason, that the other party hasn't caused any substantial harm, that I'm being pretentious, that I'm making a mountain out of a molehill, and that I lack courage."
Yu Wanying paused, tears welling up in her eyes: "But what if I really die?..."
She cried and laughed, a smile blooming: "I think, if I die, maybe I will become stronger. Because then I won't have to care about what others say about me, or what they might do to me. I will break free from the shackles, I can no longer listen to any voice in this world, and words can no longer hurt me. Only the dead can be indestructible."
Luo Siwei looked at the screen with mixed feelings.
What the girl said at the beginning has now come true.
She died at the hands of a psychopath.
But she was brave enough to make all this public after her death.
At this point, Yu Wanying wiped the tears from her eyes and said, "I love this world, and I hope to receive love in return. I hope everyone likes me. I don't want to wait until I die before the world starts to love me."
"After I die, you don't have to be sad. You can love others, pay attention to more beautiful things, and live a happy life. I am just a small wave in the ocean, following the waves, with a snap, and then disappearing."
"Finally, goodbye."
Luo Siwei sat in front of the computer and watched the video, her eyes became moist.
The number of comments under the video increased rapidly. Some people expressed regret, some expressed emotion, and occasionally there were one or two different voices, but they were quickly refuted by others.
"It turns out everything the media said was fake! I knew it was just a rumor and a smear campaign."
"It's that scumbag who deserves to die, right? Why would he still say he was affectionate after killing someone? Just to reduce his sentence?"
"I've also been harassed by perverts, but besides being careful about my own safety, are there any other solutions? Why are girls always the weaker party?"
"Why did I only get to know you today... I want to tell you that the world loves you!"
"It's so pitiful! Such a beautiful, young and outstanding girl. I heard that she was killed on her 22nd birthday."
The victim's direct accusation speaks louder than a thousand words, and no one believes the lies spread by the media anymore.
Luo Siwei finally understood why Su Ye Nan said "it's a sure win." She was right.
Yu Wanying is really great.
Although she had no way to avoid her tragedy and escape the clutches of the pervert, after her death, in this war of public opinion, her video became a sharp arrow shot at the enemy, tearing off the disguise of the water army, unveiling Cha Junxi's mask, and completely debunking those rumors.
Her words may also help other girls at risk.
Promote people's attention to this phenomenon.
The outcome is decided.
But how could this be considered a win? That girl would never come back.
Luo Siwei watched for a while, then posted a message on her second account: "Those bad guys have been caught. I hope this tragedy won't happen again."
