Chapter 42 Hypnosis
Before going to find Tian Caoyun, Juanmao and Cao Bin had to find the students first to find out the situation, as they were the first witnesses to Liang Ruqing's death.
But when they came to the physics laboratory where the students were, the students were very uncooperative. They were still in shock. No matter how kind and friendly Curly was, the children would not notice this at this time.
"Let's find Chi Xia?" Cao Bin whispered, "Chi Xia is a girl, and she is a researcher in psychology. What do we know? We know nothing, and we will scare the children later."
Curly was a little frustrated, but he also felt sad when he saw these children. He didn't know what kind of trauma it would leave on these children after seeing their head teacher commit suicide in such a tragic way.
The two discussed it and decided to go find Luo Xun and the others first.
In the classroom of Class 1, Grade 3, Luo Xun picked up the knife that was lying in a pool of blood.
"A sharpened fruit knife." He said and looked at Ning Yi and Chi Xia.
Ning Yi snorted and laughed: "Holding a sharpened fruit knife... I can't figure out what this person's purpose is, self-harm? Revenge? To cause panic?"
Chi Xia raised his head and looked at the surveillance camera in the classroom.
Qin Yansong notified Liang Ruqing's husband, copied the classroom surveillance, and hurried to find Luo Xun and the others with a computer.
"Officer, this is the classroom surveillance. I brought it to you. Here you are..."
"Watch here." Luo Xun had already pulled a chair over.
Chi Xia took the computer and USB flash drive from Qin Yansong, turned on the computer and clicked on the relevant video.
Ning Yi and Luo Xun were sitting, Chi Xia and Qin Yansong were standing. The surveillance camera recorded everything that had happened in this classroom not long ago.
Liang Ruqing entered the classroom, holding the textbook in her arms, and the fruit knife was not clearly visible .
The textbook was placed on the desk. She lowered her head and pulled the knife out of the textbook.
The knife stabbed her.
Twenty-eight knives in total.
When the first knife was stabbed in the video, Qin Yansong gritted his teeth and screamed, but soon he discovered something even more strange.
"Why doesn't she... feel any pain?" Qin Yansong shouted in horror.
Yes, twenty-eight knives stabbed into her flesh, how come she didn't feel the pain and didn't make a sound?
Chi Xia frowned slightly and stared at the dull and lifeless eyes on the screen.
A student sitting in the front row near the door ran out.
Luo Xun and Ning Yi looked at each other with unclear meanings.
The students were so scared that they huddled together and ran around. The students in the front row all ran to the back. A few braver students tried to go up, but in the end, fear prevailed over them.
During the entire process, no one approached Liang Ruqing.
The bell for the class rang, and Liang Ruqing finally stopped moving. The knife fell from her hand, and then she turned around and jumped out resolutely.
A male teacher rushed in and tried to catch her but failed.
The students panicked again.
Next, the male teacher made arrangements. The two female teachers standing at the door came in to accommodate the students. The students were evacuated in a very short time and the classroom was suddenly empty.
The curtains fluttered and the classroom was empty.
When he saw this, the school director Qin Yansong got goose bumps all over his body.
Just then, Juanmao and Cao Bin came to look for Luo Xun and the others. They stood at the door, knocked on it and called out "Captain Luo", which gave Qin Yansong a fright.
"That's great, come and take a look." Luo Xun waved.
The surveillance video was played again, and both Cao Bin and Juanmao looked serious.
"It's consistent with what we learned from the teachers," Cao Bin said. "They are the three teachers in the video."
"Where are the students?" Luo Xun asked.
Curly sighed, "The students were seriously frightened. When we went over there just now, they didn't cooperate very well, so we were thinking whether we could let Chi Xia go over there to take a look. Since she's a girl, the students won't be so defensive."
Chi Xia didn't think twice: "Okay, I'll go."
"The school's psychologist will also be here," Curly added.
Chi Xia nodded, she looked up at Qin Yansong and said, "Director Qin, please go and mobilize the students and teachers. I'll be right there."
Qin Yansong was a little reluctant to leave, but since the words had been spoken, he had no choice but to nod and leave.
As soon as he left, Luo Xun looked at Chi Xia: "What do you want to say after sending him away?"
"Captain Luo, I suspect Liang Ruqing's death was caused by hypnosis."
Cao Bin glared: "Hypnosis? Isn't this only seen in movies and TV series? Besides, where in Dongzhou can you find such a powerful hypnotist?"
Ning Yi chuckled: "Old Cao, there are all kinds of things in this world."
Luo Xun's expression remained unchanged. He just glanced at the screen again, then he looked at Chi Xia: "What's your basis?"
Chi Xia opened the surveillance video again: "Did you notice Liang Ruqing's physical condition when he came in?"
"Tighten it." Ning Yi said.
"Yes, tense. This is not in line with the state of a golden teacher facing students. Even if she is ready to commit suicide, she should be nervous, excited, or even angry."
She continued, "A person's eyes can show his or her emotions, but this surveillance video has too many incongruous feelings from beginning to end."
"Dumbfounded!" Curly answered quickly: "Several teachers also said that Liang Ruqing's eyes were dull at the time. Moreover, how could a normal person be stabbed so many times and not make a sound?"
Chi Xia smiled, acknowledging his answer, and played the video of Liang Ruqing stabbing herself again: "The most important thing is that she seems to be unable to feel pain."
"It's basically impossible."
Ning Yi said seriously: "Unless, it is indeed as Chi Xia said, Liang Ruqing is hypnotized at this moment and has no idea what she is doing. She has no clear consciousness and perception, and she is being controlled by someone!"
He felt terrified after he finished speaking, but he also felt a hint of excitement: "If this is true, Luo Xun, the murderer, is a very powerful opponent..."
"In that case."
Luo Xun stared at Chi Xia: "Stabbing yourself and jumping off a building are two different actions. What is the dividing line between them? Also, why didn't Liang Ruqing commit suicide in the office or in the corridor, but had to commit suicide after entering the classroom?"
"The school bell rings."
Chi Xia skipped the process of Liang Ruqing stabbing herself in the surveillance video and went straight to the moment before she jumped off the building: "You see, when the class bell rang, she stopped stabbing herself, and the knife fell to the ground. She jumped off the building without any pause. The class bell was the instruction that prompted her to jump off the building. The other party had already made an anchor in her heart."
"What about the process of stabbing yourself? What triggered it ?" Luo Xun pressed on.
Chi Xia shook his head: "This... I haven't figured it out yet."
"Then give me an answer as soon as possible."
Luo Xun said, looking at Cao Bin and the others again: "What progress have you made?"
"Liang Ruqing probably didn't have a good relationship with the teachers, especially the young teachers, many of whom had conflicts with her. Among them, there was one named Tian Caoyun who had the biggest conflict with her."
Curly said, "And the male teacher named Chen Zigang whom we just asked is also a little strange. We plan to talk to him later."
"Yes." Luo Xun stood up and said, "Ask colleagues to come up and clean up the scene. Chi Xia, go to the students."
Qin Yansong just came back, looking exhausted: "Police comrade, we have to hurry up... We are in our third year of high school and will take the college entrance examination in two months, we can't delay..."
“We will do our best.”
Luo Xun nodded and said, "Chi Xia, I'll go to the lab with you."
"Then what about us..." Cao Bin asked him.
Luo Xun thought for a moment and said, "Organize the relevant teachers and school leaders. It would be best if we could find a quiet place and ask them one by one. Go and prepare first."
"good."
