Chapter 1501: Sprinkling Sugar on the Forensic Doctor 14

The whole criminal police brigade went crazy!

Their Jin Team created a legend again! They only used one night to catch the clueless killer! They successfully stopped his suicide!

Wu Lin, however, felt a bit strange; for no other reason, when faced with praise from several young police colleagues, his usual arrogant demeanor merely gave a faint wave.

The two walked side by side into the interrogation room.

The account name of the person who killed Cui Jiu is Nightmare, and Duan Xiao Bai also felt dazed when he sat down to interrogate him.

Last night, going with the Jin Team to catch the killer, in order to prevent him from carrying out another suicide act, the result was that as the car had just driven past the street, Jin Chen got out, grabbed a man, and brought him back to the police station.

If it weren't for sufficient trust in Jin Chen, Duan Xiao Bai would suspect he had just randomly grabbed some unlucky guy off the street!

"Are you the person behind the Nightmare account?" Duan Xiao Bai asked, nodding at the incoming Jin Chen and Wu Lin.

"Yes, it's me."

The man lowered his head, his vacant gaze obscured by his hair.

Before Duan Xiao Bai could continue questioning, the man softly said to himself: "I am Cui Jiu's psychiatrist and also a black-market dream weaver."

"Dream weaver? What does that do?" Duan Xiao Bai looked up at him; it was the first time he'd heard of such a novel profession.

"Using brief mental control, it lets the controlled person, through dreams, revisit any memory, even one forgotten by the brain."

Wow, that's impressive.

Duan Xiao Bai secretly felt surprised, then continued: "If you're just a psychiatrist, why did you kill Cui Jiu by means of sexual asphyxiation?"

The man lowered his head further, burying himself like a stalled machine, and after a long while said: "Because he was pitiful."

What kind of answer is that.

Duan Xiao Bai: "Speak clearly; I'm asking for the reason."

"I don't know..."

The man began repeating this phrase: "I don't know..."

He lifted his head, his dull, lifeless gray eyes wandering, his voice sounding as if squeezed out: "I don't know."

Jin Chen stood up, walked to him, and asked: "Do you really know nothing?"

The man merely shook his head.

Jin Chen tapped the tabletop: "Alright, let him go."

Duan Xiao Bai: "Huh?"

Wu Lin: "……"

Jin Chen crushed the mint leaves in his pocket, waved his fingers under the man's nose, and patted his shoulder.

"You can go back now."

"……Okay."

The man looked blankly at Jin Chen, then slowly left the interrogation room.

"Not…" Duan Xiao Bai, even more bewildered than the man, said: "Why, Jin Team?"

"He's not the Nightmare; he's being controlled."

Jin Chen pulled out a paper to wipe clean his fingers stained with strong mint, saying: "The Nightmare only gave him this much information."

"Then… where is the real Nightmare?"

Jin Chen: "Yi Tian went after him."

Duan Xiao Bai scratched at his short hair pinned with a hairclip, and let out a harsh sound.

No wonder I didn't see Yi Tian this morning!

The Jin Team's layered schemes!

Wu Lin enjoyed a show early in the morning, then entered the autopsy room with the medical assistant to start work.

——

"Sexual asphyxiation is the primary cause of death; prior to this, the deceased had repeatedly inflicted self-abuse, and combined with previous psychological diagnoses and analysis of borderline psychiatric symptoms, it constitutes self-administered aversion desensitization therapy."

In the major case squad meeting room, Wu Lin summarized the information given by the corpse.

Jin Chen and Duan Xiao Bai sat on the other side.

"The abusive behaviors include: knife-mark self-harm, needle-stab wounds, threading through the inner thigh, and suturing and piercing the lower-body organs, etc."

Wu Lin showed them the photos he had taken.

Cui Jiu's inner thigh had many dense stitches, looking like a poorly made stuffed doll, with severe hyperplasia of the surrounding skin.

And based on angle and technique analysis, it should have been an action performed while fully conscious.

Duan Xiao Bai hissed: "No, why is this person like this?"

Wu Lin apparently wasn't curious, continuing coldly: "Based on gastric contents, the deceased had consumed high-concentration alcohol and antibiotics before engaging in sexual activity with the killer, but death came too quickly for the body to show a disulfiram-like reaction."

"The deceased's neck pressure marks exceed three loops, indicating cooperation with the killer in binding and tightening; neck vessels were compressed, venous return obstructed, causing capillary blood pressure to rise, rupture, and facial flushing. There is intracranial hemorrhage, and severe brain tissue damage."

After listening, Jin Chen smiled at Wu Lin: "Thank you, Chief Medical Examiner."

Wu Lin put the report away, his eyelid twitched suddenly, and he feigned composure by nodding slightly.

Duan Xiao Bai was still immersed in the cause of death when the landline and Ke Xiu burst in, their exclamations almost simultaneous.

"Yi Tian got into a car accident!"

The station's landline was called by the hospital.

Yi Tian and Wei Yan were suddenly involved in a car accident while capturing the Nightmare, and were rushed to the hospital.

As luck would have it, it's the hospital where the protagonist (the attacker) is located.

Jin Chen's face turned bluish.

Originally there were already a mess of problems, but the protagonist (the attacker) had to show up at this moment.

"Who let Wei Yan accompany Yi Tian to catch the killer? As a technician, he shouldn't be running around outside the station."

Jin Chen's tone was somewhat resentful.

Ke Xiu shuddered a little, "Just... just Yi Tian said Wei Yan's convenient real-time location post could prevent the murderer from committing suicide."

"Is Wei Yan seriously injured?" Jin Chen asked again.

"I don't know, let's go take a look together."

Jin Chen strode away, his back looking somewhat anxious.

We must stop the protagonist from getting to know him, otherwise Wei Yan's betrayal will only add chaos.

Ke Xiu patted his startled little chest, "Scared me to death, how long has it been since I was last scolded by the Jin Team?"

Wu Lin suddenly stood up, rubbing his wrist and asked Ke Xiu, "Is Wei Yan's relationship with the Jin Team very good?"

"That's right, after all, back then Wei Yan's qualifications and age couldn't get him into our team; it was the Jin Team who said he had the ability to guarantee his entry."

Ke Xiu answered whatever was asked.

"Like that..."

Wu Lin's eyes narrowed as he looked at the door, his expression grew colder.

Ke Xiu shuddered again, rubbed his chilly nape, and followed behind Jin Chen as they left, "Holy crap, it's already autumn this fast."

Wu Lin didn't go to the hospital together, nor did he really want to see Jin Chen's concerned look toward Wei Yan.

In fact, today is a too good opportunity.

Jin Chen didn't guard against him; as a member of the Major Crimes Unit, entering and exiting the captain's office was hardly difficult.

Wu Lin arrived at Jin Chen's computer without hindrance, first complaining in his mind about the old official's style desktop and layout, then skillfully typed a string of code.
