Chapter 229: Magnifying the fear in your heart, the butcher knife has actually been aimed at



Are there high-purity drugs hidden in the container?

Chen Sheng's guess made Su Ming think seriously for two seconds, and then he shook his head.

"Director Chen."

"Based on the current clues, the containers shipped from this port are indeed likely to be one of the ways for the drug trafficking organization founded by K to transport high-purity drugs."

"But I personally feel that... the reason why Lan Cai'er and her team members were silenced was most likely not because they saw the high-purity drugs."

"Because judging by the time, the cargo ship must have already sailed away, and even the high-purity drugs have already been in the hands of the buyers. There is no possibility of recovering them at all."

"Plus...drug trafficking may be an extremely serious crime in our Dragon Country's eyes. Even selling 50 grams is enough to buy peanuts."

"But in the United States, it doesn't seem to be as serious as one might think. Many gangsters and drug addicts actually take drugs in secret, and even marijuana has been legalized."

"So, there is a high probability that Lan Cai'er's team accidentally photographed or recorded something more deadly and serious than transporting high-purity drugs."

"And the impact of this incident is huge and will last for a long time."

"Otherwise, even though they were informed several months late, K and the criminal organization who were blackmailed still killed all four people in such a nervous and hasty manner."

"This clue and evidence must be very important."

"But with the clues and evidence we have now, it is really difficult to find it. It may have been destroyed by K and other criminal organizations long ago."

"Digging out the ghost is the biggest chance right now."

It's obvious.

After this in-depth communication.

Su Ming has roughly determined that Lan Caier and the three people in her team definitely have extremely important evidence or clues.

This is evidence that is several times more serious than drug trafficking and can have a huge impact.

But precisely because it is so important and happened overseas, it is difficult to conduct a more in-depth investigation and there is simply no suitable breakthrough point to start with.

The only chance is... to dig out the hidden ghost.

As a member of the drug trafficking organization who personally caused Lan Caier to close her eyes forever and be unable to utter a word, Ghost does have a certain possibility of knowing what this important evidence is.

now.

Chen Sheng, who was standing nearby, could only sigh helplessly and awkwardly, then nodded in agreement.

"Indeed."

"Even if we can find a breakthrough, it will be beyond our reach if it happens outside the country, and there is no good solution at all."

"Let's get back to the case of the female corpse in the hotel water tank and find the hidden ghost first."

"At least, now through the clues just now, I think... Lan Caier's state in the elevator surveillance, the paranoia she showed, actually has a reasonable explanation."

Speaking of this.

Chen Sheng stopped talking and projected the real-time footage from the elevator surveillance onto the huge projector behind him.

That is... the surveillance video that Su Ming had watched dozens of times on his way here.

Immediately following.

When Lan Cai'er appeared on the elevator surveillance video on the projector, she entered the elevator and hid in the corner where the button was located.

Chen Sheng pressed the pause button on the video and narrated the story seriously with his eyes slightly narrowed.

"This...is the manifestation of Lan Cai'er's paranoid complex."

"When a normal person is riding in an elevator, if there happens to be no one inside, they may take the initiative to stand in a corner to increase their sense of security."

“But even if it’s a corner, I will never stand in the corner closest to the elevator button. Instead, I will choose the two corners deep inside the elevator.”

"Being in the position closest to the elevator button means that Lan Caier needs to control the operation of the elevator to have a certain sense of security. She is even more afraid that someone is waiting for her inside."

"I even think that this is not paranoia at all. Lan Caier does not have any mental problems. Instead, she is frightened and worried after learning that three other friends in the team were killed because of something."

"Although she is in the relatively safe Dragon Country, facing such a terrifying and brutal criminal organization, Lan Caier's inner defenses are likely to be on the verge of collapse."

This moment.

Su Ming suddenly thought of a piece of information, tapped the desktop lightly, and raised his eyebrows to indicate.

"Director Chen."

"Since you have never given up your pursuit of the truth in the past six months."

"Then you should remember that when you were walking out of the elevator, Lan Cai'er, who had already walked out, suddenly took a step back, pointed at the corner of the elevator, and said... Spare me, I won't say it. These six words were inferred from the shape of her lips."

"What do you think...why did Lan Caier say such a thing?"

This question.

Chen Sheng was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately turned the surveillance video to the last part where Lan Caier was about to leave.

In the picture.

Lan Caier stepped out of the elevator door, suddenly looked back at the elevator, pointed at the corner, and said... Spare me, I won't say these six words.

After watching it twice again.

Chen Sheng still didn't find any details, so he stroked his chin and thought carefully for a few seconds, then said with a little confusion and doubt.

"There is indeed a problem."

"Based on the initial clues and inferences, many police officers from our Yangliu Criminal Investigation Team believed that Lan Caier had some mental illness."

"After all, the situation in the video doesn't seem like something a normal person would do."

"But today, after discovering that three other members of her university team were killed by a criminal organization in a short period of time, it is very likely that this will bring unimaginable pressure to them."

"That kind of behavior of standing in the corner may not be due to the so-called paranoid delusion, but rather a manifestation of inner fear and panic."

"At the same time, if she had mental illness from the beginning, why would Jiahe City TV Station recruit Lan Caier into the team?"

"Moreover, through digging into Lan Caier's personal resume and judging from the situation of her relatives, there is no family history of mental illness."

"Then let go of the possibility of mental illness."

"Another inexplicable problem has arisen. The last scene of the surveillance video, the behavior of talking to himself in the corner of the elevator, is really inexplicable."

"If you don't have a mental illness, why are you saying those six words to the corner?"

"This contradictory situation is really too weird and too bizarre."

After listening to what Chen Sheng said.

Su Ming raised his eyebrows thoughtfully. A possibility had already emerged in his mind. Then he narrowed his eyes and made a bold inference.

"Director Chen."

"Maybe not weird, or strange."

"Whether Lan Cai'er's mental state is normal, perhaps at this point in the video, she is no longer able to decide for herself."

"Because, when interrogating the butcher earlier, he said that the technique shared by the ghost is... to kill someone, you have to magnify the flaws and fears in the prey's heart and use everything you can to your advantage..."
