Loxin Amusement Park
"No, I believe what you say."
Yang Jie put the cap back on the pen. In fact, he was not really using the pen to record anything. It was just a habit during the interrogation.
It is actually very easy to verify, but for him, regardless of whether it needs to be proved or not, the murder case must continue to be investigated. It is impossible to really suspend the investigation of Cai Li before confirmation.
He stepped back, stood up, and pushed the chair back to its original position. "I have something to do. Please excuse me."
No one knew what Yang Jie was going to do, but after he left, Ding Can frequently received looks from the female police officer opposite, and it was obvious that she was too embarrassed to speak because of face.
"Is there anything else you want to ask?" She took the initiative to talk to save the other party from worrying any further.
The female police officer seemed to be hesitant to speak. She turned her head to look at the standing camera next to her, and was struggling with her conscience. If she wanted to ask Ding Can more details about what happened in the illusion, would it be considered as abandoning her post?
When the archived records are reviewed later, if this case happens to be picked up, it will probably take a lot of effort to explain it myself.
She slowly said, "I've seen collective hallucination incidents in some social news."
There are many causes, which may be due to food, climate, or the impact of high-frequency sound waves on the brain.
But those were really just illusions, not any real cases that were presented before our eyes.
Now these people have entered the past at the same time and played different roles.
If the inducement really came from the amusement park, what could it be? There were so many tourists there this morning, why did they choose them? What was so special about it?
It's hard to believe it's hallucinogenic, and no scientific explanation can explain it. "Your experience has never happened in our country, or even in the world. If you report it, I'm afraid you will not only be investigated by the police."
"I can't think that far ahead for now," Ding Can shrugged. "If you really want to know the reason, just consider it karma. Cai Li has been doing evil for so many years, and someone has to come out to punish him."
Hearing her mention Cai Li again, the female officer sighed: "My parents are both outdoor workers. Since I was a child, they often told me that I must study hard when I grow up, and when I get a job, I will work in an office."
"At the time, my role model was Cai Li. The Cai Group was very well-known in the city, and its office buildings were located in prominent locations in the heart of the city. My parents told me that if I could work for the group and have a strong position there, I would be considered a leader."
Ding Can glanced at the police badge on her chest and asked, "Then why did you choose to become a police officer?"
"Well, when I was little, I didn't understand anything. But when I grew up a little and had my own ideas, things became different."
The girl was somewhat glad about her decision. Otherwise, if she had followed her parents' expectations, she could hardly imagine how disappointed she would be when she learned the truth.
She pursed her lips, her eyes sparkling as she looked over at him again: "Stop talking about me, tell me about you, and this strange thing you experienced."
"I've just made it very clear what I know." From these words, Ding Can knew that although she looked as if she was fascinated by the events she described, it was not actually the case.
Of course there is curiosity, but more of it is the desire to get closer, let down one's guard, and then get the information one wants.
Yang Jie would go out, perhaps just to allow the two of them to be alone together, which could also be considered an interrogation strategy.
"It's not just that," the female police officer folded her arms, "Isn't this just like in a TV drama? When you first realized that your body didn't belong to you but to Cheng Nuoxin, and you couldn't do anything, did you feel scared?"
"I was definitely surprised, but not scared. I just never thought that one day I would experience the feeling of being killed by someone close to me."
The atmosphere fell silent for a moment. The female police officer asked some more questions, but Ding Can evaded them with perfunctory answers.
At this time, Yang Jie also pushed the door open again and said, "Your statements are basically consistent. You have all been cleared of suspicion."
When we arrived at the corridor, other companions came out one after another and were taken to a safe place.
It's called a lounge, but it actually just has a few bunk beds inside, with a few buckets of instant noodles on the corner of the table next to it.
This is prepared for the police officers on night shift at the police station, and it is still available at this time.
Shi Yan sat down at the foot of a bed. When she first saw the layout inside, she was a little dazed and almost thought she was back in the rest room of the hospital duty room. "Although what I said just now was true, I didn't expect that they really didn't have any questions."
Normally, shouldn't we first doubt their mental state?
But now it seems that they are the normal people.
Gao Wenwen bent his fingers and knocked on the iron railing of the bed, making a dull sound: "It is indeed safe here."
But it's almost the same as being locked up, except that the treatment is slightly better.
Ding Can looked at Lin He, who was standing alone at the table. "How did you gain their trust?"
The reason why they were able to pass the test so quickly was because Lin He paved the way for them.
"Just like you guys, I tell the truth."
Ding Can shook his head secretly, very skeptical about the truth of this statement, but he estimated that even if he asked again, he would not say more than he wanted to hear.
There is a small window in the lounge. It has been dark outside and twinkling lights are lighting up one after another.
The entire city has entered the busiest and most crowded time of the day. From this angle, through the wall of the police station, you can vaguely see citizens walking outside.
Xia Jialian retracted his gaze: "With a clear direction for investigation, it won't be long before Cai Li can no longer hold on."
"We can ask Captain Yang to see what the forensic progress is." Gao Wenwen took a paper cup and filled a glass of cold water from the water dispenser.
"We won't know the details of the case until the dust settles."
Not investigating at this time would simply be a waste of police resources. When they really have time, they will probably be faced with a more in-depth round of interrogation.
"Alright," Gao Wenwen took off his shoes and climbed up, "The upper bunk is quiet, I'll take it first and take a nap."
He was always so adaptable, and after a while, light snoring could be heard in the room.
"You're really generous." Shi Yan leaned on the bed, and at this moment she admired him from the bottom of her heart.
However, such people can sometimes be a spice to a dull mood, but now it really seems like they are just looking for a place to relax.

Over the next few days, they moved freely within the small area of the police station and were taken with them when ordering lunch boxes.
We also encountered a solar term during the trip, so we made dumplings with the police officers and had a special meal.
At first glance, he really looks like a member of the police station.
However, there was no sign of Yang Jie. People only heard that he was on a business trip these days.
On the fifth day, I finally met Yang Jie at noon, and it was actually him who brought me lunch.
He looked tired, but he seemed to be in good spirits, and his skin seemed to have become a little darker.
"Captain Yang, have you been busy lately?" Gao Wenwen couldn't stop gossiping, so she took the takeaway bag and spoke to him.
"My job is not that hard." Yang Jie spoke without making any mistakes.
Ding Can glanced at the familiar set meal and scraped his chopsticks. "I suggest you order from a different restaurant. The owner is probably from the south, so he doesn't use enough oil or salt, so the food isn't very flavorful."
Yang Jie looked up at her and said, "We've noted your suggestion, but you can go find something you want to eat."
Ding Can raised his eyebrows. After leaving the police station, of course he could eat whatever he wanted.
And going out would prove that they are safe.
"Thanks for the reminder." She buried her head and concentrated on eating.
"What did you remind me of?" Gao Wenwen didn't think he had missed any important information, so he came over and asked.
Yang Jie was already walking towards the door: "Eat slowly, I have something else to do at the police station, I'll be leaving first."
Gao Wenwen finally reacted: "We can go back now!"

"On the 18th of this month, the body of a woman found at the Nuoxin Amusement Park has been identified as Cheng, who disappeared many years ago. Police have identified the suspect as her husband, Cai."
…
In the police station office hall, today's news was being broadcast on TV, attracting frequent viewing from people who came to handle business.
There were several people sitting in a row on the chairs on one side.
After Cheng Nuoxin died, Cai Li guessed that it was Yu Jian who exposed the matter. In order to prevent the possibility of the matter being exposed, he secretly got rid of this person at the same time.
He was originally hiding from his creditors, so even if he disappeared, people around him would just think he went to some remote place and would not investigate further.
The only exception was the elderly mother at home. When the police found her, they soon noticed that she was out of control.
It turned out that before Yu Jian left home, he had made an agreement with his mother that even if he ran away again, he would definitely send back news regularly.
If he really lost contact, it would mean that he was most likely dead. He told his mother not to call the police on her own initiative, but to wait for the police to come to the door.
Because Yu Jian knew Cai Li's true nature and abilities, proactively reporting the case was like giving Cai Li a heads-up that he could quickly clear himself of suspicion if there was insufficient evidence.
However, if the police found the evidence first and then came to his house, it would not be so easy for him to do anything.
Combined with the surveillance footage that Ding Can and Gao Wenwen had not been able to find before, the police sought assistance from nearby citizens and actually found new clues after Cai Li.
It can be proved that Cheng Nuoxin went to the flower shop and cafe and met Yu Jian on the day of his death.
And the subsequent movement of vehicles was also towards the amusement park.
Although the entire day's surveillance footage of the amusement park had been processed long ago, it could still be confirmed that there were only footage of Cheng Nuoxin going to the amusement park and never coming out again.
There is no such thing as returning home and then going out again the next day on celebration day.
Faced with overwhelming evidence, even if Cai Li had great connections, he had no chance to refute his argument.
He has already taken at least three lives, and what awaits him is only legal punishment.
Ding Can was sorting out his backpack and found the amusement park's anniversary brochure in the side pocket, rolled up and tucked into a corner.
After spreading out, the first thing that catches your eye is the photo of the carousel, and the photographer also uses the ocean pillar as the center of the picture.
Holding the flyer high, the light from the incandescent lamp on the ceiling shines through it, and the patterns of the sea seem to flow along with it.
Ding Can's peripheral vision was attracted by something, and he squinted his eyes and noticed that there seemed to be two figures standing hand in hand in a corner of the hall.
Xue Xiang's almost transparent figure looked over and nodded gratefully at her. Beside her, clasping her index fingers together, was Cheng Nuoxin from her student days, smiling softly.
They will never be trapped again.
