Chapter 95
After a struggle that was doomed to fail, He Jinzhe's roars finally died down, and he covered his face with his hands and sobbed quietly, his thin shoulders still moving.
"I don't want to be checked."
What was there to understand about such a reaction in the eyes of the public? All one could say was that the police made the right bet this time, and He Jinzhe had indeed been assaulted.
At this time, Lin Jiafan winked at Pan Chang beside him.
Pan Chang cleared his throat knowingly and spoke in a very gentle tone, "Okay, no need to check. But you have to help us find the person who did this to you and Anping. You are completely safe now, and that person will never have the chance to hurt you again."
Seeing the boy across from her still stubbornly refused to speak, she continued to speculate, "Who hurt you? Was it Ludwig?"
Finally, He Jinzhe responded, but he just shook his head slightly.
"Is that Brother Dao Wu Qiang? Or Brother Hao?" Pan Chang gave several names in succession, but got nothing.
"He Jinzhe, it's hard for us to help you get justice if you do this. Don't you want the person who hurt you to be punished by law?" Pan Chang frowned, feeling very annoyed by the boy's indifference.
"If the law imposes sanctions, will the harm I have suffered disappear?" Suddenly, He Jinzhe raised his head and stared at the two adults on the other side of the interrogation table with his red eyes.
"Brother Rat said, no matter what happens, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, blood for blood."
He has such a childish face, but he can say such gloomy and terrifying words without any emotion, which gives people a very disconnected feeling.
"You can't say that..." Pan Chang also tried to appeal to his emotions and reason.
It’s a pity that He Jinzhe didn’t want to give her this opportunity. Before she could say two words, the boy started another round of struggle and roaring.
"Let me go!!! Let me go!!! I'm in pain!! I'm going to die!!!"
In desperation, the interrogation was once again forced to be interrupted.
After leaving the interrogation room, Pan Chang couldn't help but complain, just like last time: "Captain Lin, this kid's personality is really weird! I understand what you said before, about treating children who have gone astray with love and patience, but He Jinzhe simply can't be won over by patience and love!"
"I really don't know what kind of magic potion Lu Deshu fed him or how he brainwashed him. He is so loyal and unwavering."
"If it was really Ludwig who hurt him and the victim, would he be in Stockholm? Should he find a psychiatrist to help him with his counseling?"
Lin Jiafan didn't respond, but just stood in front of the window with his back to her. On the surface, he seemed to be admiring the scenery outside, but in fact, from the slightly tense corners of his mouth, it could be seen that he was thinking frantically.
Just at this time, Luo Jingyao also walked out of the observation room. Pan Chang simply grabbed her arm and started complaining for a while.
Luo Jingyao could only comfort the other party softly. After all, she couldn't give any constructive advice on such professional matters.
"Coach Luo, how come this kid doesn't know what's good for him? We are helping him, not harming him!" Pan Chang pouted in grievance.
"Maybe Lu Deshu saved his life." Luo Jingyao replied casually.
She was not talking nonsense. If He Jinzhe had been wandering outside and had no food to eat, Lu Deshu picking him up could barely be considered saving a life.
Of course, I don’t mean to whitewash Lu Deshu and his gang. It’s just that from He Jinzhe’s perspective, there is nothing wrong with thinking this way.
Pan Chang didn't react to her words. Instead, Lin Jiafan suddenly turned around and asked, "Saved his life?"
His sudden action startled Luo Jingyao and Pan Chang, and their eyes were filled with confusion.
Lin Jiafan didn't bother to explain. He took out his cell phone from his pocket and dialed Pang Guang's number: "Contact the hospital and the special children's rehabilitation institution immediately and ask..."
While giving instructions to the person on the other end of the phone, he quickly left the case handling area.
Only two people were left, confused and facing each other.
But it didn't take long before Pan Chang came to his senses and pulled her to the lounge.
It was not until she finished the hot instant noodles that Luo Jingyao realized that this was the first food she had eaten that day after breakfast.
When she first came into contact with the Special Case Investigation Team, she even found it difficult to understand why these people worked like iron men, forgetting to eat and sleep when solving cases.
Now that I have truly joined in, I understand that when people are extremely focused, they really don’t feel hungry or sleepy.
After finishing a bowl of instant noodles as quickly as possible, Pan Chang leaned back in her chair and patted her belly contentedly. "By the way, my husband really loves the flowers I bought from your shop last time. He's just been so busy that he didn't have time to thank you."
"I'm glad you like it. I'll give you a 50% discount next time you come to our store." Luo Jingyao wiped her mouth with a tissue and smiled.
"Coach Luo, I've actually been curious about one thing for a long time. Do you have a boyfriend?" As soon as this topic was mentioned, Pan Chang regained some of his spirit. He subconsciously straightened his back, and his eyes were bright.
"No." Luo Jingyao shook her head calmly.
To be honest, she couldn't remember the last time she felt a throbbing sensation. Ever since she became a professional athlete, she seemed to be getting further and further away from romance.
Hey, little brother, you wanna date me? The kind that'll smash your head if you don't agree with me.
"Really? You're really good!" Pan Chang was a little confused. He immediately stood up and moved closer to her. "My husband has a cousin who's a pretty good guy. He's about your age. Would you consider becoming my sister-in-law?"
"Sister-in-law? What sister-in-law?"
The two people who were whispering were startled by a questioning voice that came from behind them without warning. They turned around and saw Pang Guang's long face. The other party was walking in from the door with curiosity, followed by Lin Jiafan who was busy on his mobile phone with his head down.
"It's none of your business. Don't ask around if you're just a kid who hasn't even grown all his hair yet!" Pan Chang rolled his eyes in annoyance.
"You're not!" The young man retorted loudly, as if a sore spot had been touched: "I'm 23 years old too. You can't discriminate against me just because I skipped a few grades in school!"
"Also, don't think I don't know you're trying to sell Coach Luo on your brother-in-law's cousin. Forget about that idea. Coach Luo won't like that kind of weakling!"
"What weakling?" Pan Chang was furious. "He's a PhD graduate from one of the top five prestigious universities in China. He has a respectable job in finance, okay? He earns millions a year!"
"Besides, how can you, someone like you who can't even make it through physical training, have the nerve to call others weak?"
Pang Guang's face flushed red from being confronted, but he still stubbornly refused to admit defeat: "Even if his annual salary is tens of millions, he is not worthy of a female eagle like Coach Luo!"
"Female eagle?" Luo Jingyao narrowed her eyes slowly.
"..." Pang Guang, realizing he had said something wrong, almost bit his tongue. Facing Pan Chang's gloating eyes, he struggled to explain: "It just means you are very powerful. This is my admiration for you..."
"You're done, you're completely done." Pan Chang could almost foresee the miserable state of the young man in the next physical education class, and he wanted to slap his thigh and laugh out loud.
"It's all your fault...!" Pang Guang was extremely angry.
Luo Jingyao felt a headache from the two of them arguing. She cleaned her ears and stood up to Lin Jiafan. "Any progress?"
"I guess so. It's all thanks to the painting you picked up on a whim." The man put away his phone and answered her questions attentively.
"Pang Guang just checked the medical records and psychological evaluation of Tan Hailong's son, Tan Tian. It shows that he has typical autism and occasionally exhibits extremely aggressive behavior, but he does not abuse small animals."
Attack and abuse are two completely different things.
In other words, Tan Tian might kill a cat with a brick when provoked, but he would not dismember or torture it to death.
But what does this have to do with the case?
Seeing through Luo Jingyao's confusion at a glance, Lin Jiafan continued, "It's difficult for people with autism like Tan Tian to fully express their thoughts through words. His paintings are probably a way to express what he sees and hears. They are scenes he has witnessed firsthand and have left a deep impression on him."
How could it not be profound? The sight of a dismembered cat's body was enough to give even an adult like her nightmares.
Luo Jingyao frowned subconsciously.
"After obtaining Tan Tian's medical records, we contacted Tan Hailong's wife, Zhu Xiulan, who confirmed that around the first half of this year, she and Tan Tian had discovered two dead cats outside their home in the city."
At this point, Lin Jiafan's expression became more meaningful: "He Jinzhe said something during the interrogation, 'Blood debt must be paid with blood.'"
"This immature intimidation tactic is very suitable for his current situation. He doesn't have enough ability to retaliate against the person who hurt him, but he is unwilling to give up. So for the time being, he can only retaliate against what he can."
Hearing this, Luo Jingyao's pupils dilated instantly and she opened her mouth in disbelief.
"You mean, it was Tan Hailong who violated He Jinzhe and the deceased?!"
