Chapter 502: Not Worthy
"Every detail of the case is clearly recorded in his diary, including how he hypnotized others. Only then can the police be considered to have solved the case." Zhang shared the only case he knew of with Huo Juncheng, then felt something was wrong. He smiled and said, "Brother Huo, you came to me just to hear my story, right? When did you become interested in cases like this?"
Huo Juncheng's eyes darkened for a moment, but then suddenly brightened the moment he looked at Zhang Suo. "It's nothing. Everyone has a curious side. I'm no exception."
"Really just to hear the story?"
Huo Juncheng changed the subject, deliberately avoiding his question: "Chief Zhang, tell me a story that's not too complicated. After all, even an international master wouldn't commit a single crime like this in over a decade."
"Hypnosis?"
"Um."
Chief Zhang looked at Huo Juncheng with a complicated expression. "I do know one more thing about this case. Even if you didn't call me this time, I would have called you. Did you know? The autopsy reports for the bodies that Lin Yilan helped our police station retrieve last time are all out! We also collected footprints from all of them on that cliff. Each of them walked down step by step and lay down in the crevice of the cliff."
"What?"
This news was like a thunderclap on Huo Juncheng's head!
That cliff is so steep that no normal person would go there, and even those who have practiced martial arts would not easily try to go there. After all, life is not a TV show, and who would joke with their own life!
Who would have thought that those corpses were laid down one by one after they had gone down the cliff?
This... is too incredible.
"Isn't it amazing? Our initial thoughts and judgments were all wrong! We thought it was some master of Qinggong who killed him, but now it seems that's not the case! We were going in the wrong direction." Zhang Suo came this time for this matter: "Last time I investigated Lin Yilan's fellow apprentices, and now it seems that they have nothing to do with martial artists."
"Is this also hypnosis?"
Apart from hypnosis, Huo Juncheng couldn't think of a second possibility.
"You might find it even harder to believe this, but the killer must have been a very strong man. He tied ropes around the men's waists and lowered them down the steep cliff face one by one, hypnotizing them beforehand. The medical examiner also discovered a large amount of euthanasia in their bodies. This time... it's going to be tough."
Huo Juncheng felt a chill run down his spine when he heard about this horrific case! What era is this? Why would such a person still appear?
Why did the murderer kill them?
"Have you checked the pharmacy?" Isn't euthanasia a banned drug? It's only available in hospitals and small clinics; it's impossible for individuals to obtain it.
"We've checked everything you can think of! Let me tell you, this killer is very clever. They bought all the cats and dogs and euthanized them. Those veterinary hospitals don't keep such detailed records, so we found nothing."
Huo Juncheng's three views were overturned, but he did not tell anyone about Lin Yilan.
Zhang had shared so much with him, clearly trying to trade his own experiences for Huo Juncheng's inner thoughts. Huo Juncheng was truly afraid that Zhang would take Lin Yilan away and use her as a research subject.
Fortunately, Lin Yilan was just having hallucinations and did not do anything to hurt others.
Seeing Huo Juncheng was silent, Zhang Suo asked, "Why did you come to me so urgently? What else do you want to know?"
Huo Juncheng really wanted to ask about the injection. What could be the thing that could make people hallucinate all the time? He didn't know much about this kind of thing, but after raising his eyes and meeting Chief Zhang's gaze, he didn't want to continue asking.
"Nothing, just wanted to chat with you."
Sister Xiu brewed the tea as instructed and poured it for each of them one by one.
Zhang looked around but couldn't find Lin Yilan. With his detective instincts, he asked, "Why don't you conjoined twins see Lin Yilan?"
"She's taking a nap."
"Oh, are you all right recently? Haicheng has been a bit uneasy lately, so it's best for you to stay home and not go anywhere. Try not to go out too much. If Lin Yilan wakes up, I'd like to ask her something."
Zhang Suo did it on purpose. Huo Juncheng usually didn't care so much about other people's affairs, except for Lin Yilan.
Even if he didn't say it, Zhang could roughly guess that most of the questions Huo Juncheng asked today were related to Lin Yilan.
…
In the room.
Lin Yilan had just fallen asleep when she dreamed of Chen Xiang's face. He was approaching her, a syringe in hand and wearing a mask. Lin Yilan was tied to the bed, unable to move.
She could only watch helplessly as Chen Xiang walked towards her step by step, then lifted her sleeve and gave her an injection with skillful movements: "Be good, it's time to replenish your medicine. Only when the medicine is sufficient will you listen to me."
After Chen Xiang finished the injection, he threw the syringe away.
Then his hands began to dishonestly peel off her clothes... one by one...
Lin Yilan was clearly dreaming, but everything in the dream was so clear, including the kiss he placed on her mouth. She seemed to be able to feel it clearly. At the moment when the man was about to break through her defenses, Lin Yilan let out an "Ah!" and suddenly sat up!
She gasped, looked around, and screamed "Ah".
The sound was so loud that Huo Juncheng and Zhang Suo downstairs could hear it clearly.
Huo Juncheng didn't care about etiquette and rushed upstairs. When he opened the door, he saw Lin Yilan's eyes were wet. She hugged her knees and buried her head in them, sobbing softly.
It was the first time he saw Lin Yilan so weak, and his heart felt like it was being beaten continuously.
"Lin Yilan..." He swallowed, walked to her side with light steps, and held Lin Yilan in his arms. Lin Yilan felt Huo Juncheng's chest and slowly raised her beautiful face.
That oval face was full of tears...
She suddenly rushed into Huo Juncheng's arms: "Huo Juncheng... I'm dirty, I'm dirty, I don't seem to be worthy of you." She gave her first time to Huo Juncheng, but she dreamed of being with another person.
This feeling is really disgusting.
She is not that kind of woman, really not.
Huo Juncheng rubbed her long hair with heartache: "Did you have a nightmare? It's okay, I'm here, I'm always here." His voice was gentle, giving her a great sense of security.
Lin Yilan then realized that it was a dream, but this dream was a little too real... so real that she almost believed it.
She grabbed Huo Juncheng's sleeve tightly: "Huo Juncheng, please don't leave, okay? I really don't know how it turned out like this. I just dreamed about him again... It was the same face every time. I was so scared, really scared. I almost thought..." She was going to lose her virginity!
"I'm here, I've always been here. You just had a nightmare, don't think too much about it, just go back to sleep. I'll be with you." Huo Juncheng comforted and coaxed Lin Yilan to sleep again.
Lin Yilan's hand tightly grasped his sleeve. She didn't want to sleep at all! As soon as she fell asleep, Chen Xiang's face would appear.
She had never been so afraid of anyone in her life. Chen Xiang was the first one.
This man always appeared suddenly and left suddenly... Now he could even freely enter and exit her dreams. Is he a human or a ghost?
Why can't others see him, only she can see him!
It would be inappropriate for Zhang Suo to follow someone into someone else's bedroom, so he could only wait on the first floor.
After Huo Juncheng coaxed Lin Yilan to sleep, he walked down with his long legs.
"What's wrong with her?" Zhang asked worriedly.
"It's okay, just a nightmare."
Zhang Suo smiled faintly. "Women, no matter how powerful they are, always rely on men. Women's hearts are so fragile, yet also so strong. They can burst into tears over the smallest things, yet they can also shoulder huge things on their own. They are truly strange creatures."
Huo Juncheng followed up on his words and jokingly said, "It seems that Zhang Suo is talking about my sister-in-law."
"Haha. Yeah, all women are the same!"
