Chapter 42 Smiling Depression?
Yang Xirui, the deceased in this case.
He was only 24 years old, at the prime of his life, but two weeks ago he jumped from the top floor of Yueyang Building and died.
There are surveillance cameras everywhere in Yueyang Building, which show that Yang Xirui entered the building alone, no one followed her, and she did not have any contact with anyone during the process.
She took the elevator straight up to the rooftop, and then jumped down without any hesitation.
It was a very obvious suicide case, so there was no need to even investigate.
But Song Changsheng felt something was wrong.
He visited the people around Yang Xirui, including her parents, colleagues, and friends, and everyone told him clearly that it was impossible. Yang Xirui was as stubborn as a sunflower.
She never gives up and always faces the sun. It is impossible for such a person to commit suicide.
Finally, the Municipal Bureau invited a behavioral expert, who judged that Yang Xirui was likely suffering from severe smiling depression. People with this disease may look sunny and cheerful on the outside, but are already broken inside and may also commit suicide.
After finding the reason, the bureau requested that the case be closed.
Everything seemed reasonable, but Song Changsheng just felt that something was wrong. He couldn't tell what was wrong, but that vague feeling of unreasonableness prevented him from finishing the case report.
"Yang Xirui's family background was difficult. Her father had little education and could only work as a laborer on construction sites. Her mother also suffered from mental illness. For many years, the whole family relied on her father's meager salary to survive."
Song Changsheng didn't ask why Yang Xirui wanted to stay with him. He just told Shi Yu what he had found out. "But Yang Xirui is a very good student. She doesn't feel inferior or miserable."
"After graduating from university, she found a very good job, but before she even started, the company said it would reconsider her application."
Song Changsheng said, pushing over a copy of the interrogation record, "This is the reason given by that company."
"Provoking the supervisor and refusing to obey discipline?"
Shi Yu scratched his head and looked at the empty seat next to Song Changsheng.
There was clearly nothing there, but when Shi Yu saw it, Song Changsheng felt a chill and slight numbness on the left side of his body. He cleared his throat before continuing, "It was the day Yang Xirui joined the company. For some reason, she got into a fight with an old employee."
"I pushed someone down and hit his head on a pillar. I had to pay a lot of money."
Song Tingshen frowned, "Yang Xirui's family conditions are really difficult. As long as she continues this job, it won't take long to improve her family's living conditions."
"Logically, she should cherish this job, Miss Shi. Isn't this very unusual?"
Shi Yu didn't understand how to solve the case. She looked at Song Changsheng with a smile and said, "It seems that Captain Song is a very perceptive person. This is a good thing."
"It's a shame I don't understand the twists and turns you guys use to solve cases. All I can do is provide some clues from my perspective. As for the rest, you'll have to investigate on your own."
Song Changsheng nodded.
Or that's what's right for him.
Shi Yu didn't look at him again. After looking away, he slowly said, "First, let's talk about why Yang Xirui is here. What I mean is that the police station is different from other places."
"This place is guarded by righteousness. Ordinary ghosts and evil spirits can't get in, especially the police badge... For those, seeing this thing is no different than a vampire seeing a cross."
"Do you understand what I mean?"
Song Changsheng and Xiao Chen looked at each other and nodded slowly.
Maybe I understand, but if I don’t, it seems I’m embarrassed to ask at this time.
Shi Yu curled his lips and asked, "Yang Xirui's body is still in your bureau, right?"
"Yes, it's still in the morgue. Because the cause of her death was clear, no autopsy was performed. It was confirmed that the cause of death was a fall."
Xiao Chen is in charge of this area and knows it very well.
Shi Yu thought for a moment and said, "This should be the reason why Yang Xirui can stay here. However, even so, her soul is already very weak. Even I can't communicate with her normally."
"To put it bluntly, she can let me know by nodding and shaking her head that she didn't commit suicide, but how did she die and who was the murderer?" Shi Yu spread his hands, "She can't say it, and I can't hear it."
Song Changsheng was stunned, and Xiao Chen's eyes were blank for a moment.
This... is it possible?
"However," Shi Yu took a deep breath, "When you mentioned her parents just now, her soul seemed very unstable. Captain Song, you can investigate in this direction."
Song Changsheng was silent for a moment, then raised his head and looked at Shi Yu with great seriousness, "Miss Shi, if you could see the murderer, could you figure out how he killed Yang Xirui?"
"Can."
Master Shi is like this. He speaks without any pretense. If it is okay, it is okay. If it is not okay, it is not okay. There is absolutely no ambiguity in his words.
"But you have to pay, three thousand per divination."
“WeChat or Alipay?”
Song Changsheng: “…”
After seeing Shi Yu off, Song Changsheng directly took Xiao Chen to the car and said, "Let's go to the Yang family again!"
Yang Xirui's family of three lived in a bungalow in an urban village. It was the innermost room without even a window. The total area of the house was probably less than 30 square meters.
It was narrow and crowded, but very clean inside and out.
When Song Changsheng entered, a middle-aged woman was reading a book. She was wearing gold-rimmed glasses and her hair was combed meticulously, but she was holding a comic book in her hand.
"Captain Song, you're here."
An old voice sounded, and Father Yang walked in with a bowl of noodles. He took the comic book from the woman's hand and placed the noodles in front of her. "Eat first, then read after you finish eating."
"We have guests at home, so eat by yourself and take your time. Don't rush."
Mr. Yang looks very old, like he is in his sixties or seventies, but in fact he is only in his early fifties. Years of wind and sun on the construction site make him look very old.
Song Changsheng asked the neighbors around, and no one had anything bad to say about Yang's father.
"He's a good man. His wife is sick, and he's taking care of her while raising his children. He's suffered all his life, but he smiles whenever he sees anyone. What a pitiful man."
This is what the landlord said.
"It's true that a hemp rope only breaks at the thinnest part. My daughter is about to become successful, but something like this happens. The Yang family is really..."
This is what the neighbor grandma said.
Song Changsheng was silent for a moment. He looked at Yang's father. To be honest, he had never doubted this person, including now.
However, this was not the first time Song Changsheng had watched Shi Yu's live broadcast, and he had also experienced it personally, so it was necessary for him to make this trip.
"Captain Song, come over here. Is there any progress on my Xirui's matter?"
