Chapter 311: Still Using Truth Serum? You

After hearing that, Han Fei was silent for a few seconds, then spoke.

"So you never considered what your brother would do or think once he knew his older brother was a murderer? You never thought about how his classmates would view him once they learned his brother was a murderer?"

Gou Yong opened his mouth, but could not say a word.

Han Fei's words, he of course had thought about them.

But he still did it.

Because he was confident that what he did was flawless.

After all, a method that magnifies a person's negative emotions and guilt to the point of suicide is already close to a perfect crime; he never actually killed anyone directly.

In theory, it would be almost impossible for the Police to catch him with any evidence.

Even if the Police suspected him, it wouldn't matter; as long as he didn't confess, the Police could do nothing.

But his misfortune was running into Xu Mo.

The effect of truth serum is not something he can resist…

"I have a question: how did you find a chance to get in touch with Lu Yu? Or is Lu Yu also your client?" Xu Mo suddenly asked.

Gou Yong nodded.

"Yes, he has a bad habit of torturing small animals. His parents, fearing that this would harm his physical and mental development, brought him to my psychology clinic a few days ago. Coincidentally, I only learned that Haozi had been constantly bullied by Lu Yu at school through my conversations with Lu Yu. If he hadn't become my client, I might still not know that my brother has been continuously bullied at school. This is fate's arrangement; Heaven sent him into my hands…"

Xu Mo guessed correctly.

Lu Yu is also one of Gou Yong's clients, which gave him the opportunity to lure Lu Yu into suicide.

"What about Zhu Xingde and Yang Meng? And that…," Xu Mo, not yet asking the name of the man he had just rescued, simply used a placeholder: "And that lawyer, they never bullied your brother, right? Why did you kill them?"

Gou Yong said calmly.

"They didn't bully my brother, but I said from the start that they are guilty; this is the fate they deserve. Destiny placed these sinners in my psychology clinic so that I could kill them, to enact divine justice. I followed destiny's guidance, and that's all there is to it."

"Speaking of it, I have to thank Lu Yu. If it weren't for him, I would never have realized that merely providing psychological counseling is useless; it changes nothing. Only when those evildoers all die will there be no more victims! Those few people deserve to die; they got what they earned."

Without waiting for Xu Mo and Han Fei to ask, he began to explain point by point.

"Zhu Xingde, in his earlier years, to make money, deceived an empty‑nest elderly man into putting all his possessions into stock speculation, and ended up losing even the man's burial fund. The old man thus committed suicide at home; Zhu Xingde, for profit, sacrificed a person with a clear conscience."

"And Yang Meng, she's an internet streamer you all should know. She came to me because a botched plastic surgery made her feel she had no courage to live. I originally intended to advise her, but as we talked, I realized that for profit she had torn apart many families, leaving countless households shattered. How many people has she harmed? How many families? How many children, because of her, grew up lacking a father or mother, missing a family that should have been happy and whole?"

"And Wu Yue, the lawyer you mentioned. Years ago he sold his conscience for money, defending a rich heir who caused an accident. That heir only paid a small fine and was released shortly after. Is such a punishment enough to offset a life? Wu Yue acted as a henchman for the tiger; a person who can betray his conscience for money doesn't deserve to be a lawyer. As long as he lives, he'll only cause more people to be denied fair and just judgments."

Gou Yong stopped speaking at that point.

He had explained everything he needed to.

Xu Mo and Han Fei both understood.

Gou Yong's first murder was because of his brother.

Lu Yu, who bullied his brother at school, happened to be sent by his parents to his psychology clinic because of his penchant for torturing small animals.

It was precisely because of this that Gou Yong learned his brother had been continuously bullied by Lu Yu.

To prevent anyone from hurting his brother again, he chose to use his psychological techniques to provoke negative emotions in Lu Yu, leading Lu Yu to despair and jump to his death.

After killing a person this way, Gou Yong's sense of justice began to warp.

He started to believe it was Heaven's arrangement, and thus replicated the method, repeatedly coaxing several people he deemed deserving of death to jump off buildings, guiding them to atone and find release through suicide.

Those people indeed had faults, but it wasn't his place to punish them.

Moreover, he shouldn't achieve his so‑called justice by luring people to suicide.

Han Fei organized Gou Yong's Confession Statement, printed it, and brought it before Gou Yong.

"This is your Confession Statement; everything recorded here is what you said. See if there's any problem; if not, sign it."

He skimmed through it briefly, then nodded.

He then took the pen from Han Fei and signed his name on the Confession Statement.

Afterwards, Han Fei fetched a police officer and temporarily detained Gou Yong.

This case, which had troubled Han Fei for a day and a night, was finally solved.

All that wasted time watching the surveillance footage… If I'd known Xu Mo could bring back the crucial clue, I wouldn't have watched it… Han Fei rubbed his slightly sore eyes.

"Are you hungry, Xu Mo? Want to go have some late‑night snack with me?"

Xu Mo smiled, "I'm hungry, but are you treating?"

"I'll treat, I'll treat, let's go," Han Fei said cheerfully. "By the way, I have a question for you."

"Hmm? What question?"

"Why did Gou Yong just now suddenly confess? I racked my brain and couldn't figure it out. Was it just because you told him 'leniency for confession, strictness for resistance'? I said that to him too, why didn't it work for me?"

Xu Mo, with a vague expression, said, "Han Team, to be honest, I have truth serum!"

Han Fei: "..."

He gave Xu Mo a rolling eye without hesitation.

If you don't want to tell me, just say so. Truth serum? Isn't that something from TV dramas? When I was a three‑year‑old kid, that was so easy to be fooled?
