False evidence

Chapter 81 Split
I asked Tong Xiangnan, "Do you believe in ghost possession?"

"I won't draw conclusions about things that haven't been verified. However, I believe that under certain special circumstances, a person can come into contact with or even possess another set of thoughts and consciousness that do not belong to them."

Gao He rolled his eyes: "You're just playing word games. Well, you're right, you can say whatever you want, since you're the professional."

Tong Xiangnan said, "This is not a word game. To this day, science cannot prove the existence of the soul. But many years ago, Western psychologists confirmed that a person's consciousness can be transferred to another person."

He waved his hand forcefully, "Alright, there's no need to dwell on this topic."

Gao He glanced at me sideways and asked, "You mean, this kid is possessed by a ghost, just like that child?"

Tong Xiangnan didn't respond to him, but instead said to me, "Let me ask you a question—can you tell whether you were talking to me directly or from the perspective of an observer when you were talking to me before?"

I thought for a moment and said, "I've been looking at your face, but at the same time, another image is in my mind. It's on a very old train..."

I hesitated for a moment, "To be precise, the feeling is like watching a hyper-realistic 3D movie."

Tong Xiangnan interjected, "So, for you at that time, our conversation was more like a movie narration."

I hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Tong Xiangnan slapped his forehead: "That's right! I was never able to hypnotize you, but I did hypnotize another part of your consciousness."

"That's not right," Gao He said, banging on the table. "You said earlier that a criminal who claims to be highly intelligent wouldn't be able to explain how he committed the crime. Isn't that a contradiction?"

Tong Xiangnan waved his hand: "Absolutely not contradictory. The criminal will recount the crime because he is actually another way of thinking of Sanqi, or to put it simply, another personality split off from Sanqi, namely—Lu Xin."

Lu Xin is definitely a criminal genius. I'm sure that even if someone like him were hypnotized, he might not be able to explain his methods in detail. However, since he and Sanqi are in the same body, Sanqi is currently in control!

Lü Xin himself wouldn't say anything, but his consciousness was still very weak, insufficient to fight against Sanqi. Therefore, he only agreed to speak with me after being pressured by Sanqi and losing some of his defenses.

I said, "In short—you think I have mental problems."

Tong Xiangnan surprisingly nodded and admitted, "Not only is there a problem, but it's very serious."

I asked, "I am your patient, what do you suggest I do?"

Without a second thought, Tong Xiangnan said, "The specifics of how to proceed depend on the results of the next test. By the way, do you see another image in your mind right now?"

I shook my head.

He asked, "Can we continue our discussion from where we left off?"

I nodded and said directly, "The reason Lu Xin used that method to kill Blackie was to make Zhao Boqing's wife believe that she was the one who killed him. That way, she would truly have no choice at all."

Tong Xiangnan said, "That's right. Even the weakest woman will undergo a huge psychological change after experiencing such a change in a short period of time. In her own eyes, there were only two paths at that time: one was to die, and the other was to follow Lü Xin and flee to the ends of the earth."

I said, "That happened in the toilet just this evening, and with the 'Do Not Use' sign hanging up, no one else will use it. Lü Xin put the body in the toilet, his main purpose was to put pressure on the woman."

Tong Xiangnan nodded: "Given Lü Xin's personality, he definitely wouldn't do something without being absolutely certain. Pressure increases negative emotions, but to a certain extent, it can have the opposite effect. The woman was certainly afraid, but the fear brought to her by murder and hiding a body in the toilet was enough to transform that intense fear into a morbid state of calm."

“Zhao Boqing is a rough man, and although Chen Zudao is quite shrewd, his intelligence is seriously lacking when he's around Lü Xin. So, neither of them will notice anything amiss until the train reaches its destination.” I took a breath. “Lü Xin has already made up his mind to elope with the woman. For him, a bustling metropolis is where he belongs.”

"So, not long after the train arrived at the station, Lü Xin made an excuse and left with Zhao Boqing's wife."

Bai Jing let out a long sigh: "The ancestor said that they really did elope."

I said, "But not long after, Lü Xin went back."

"Go back?" "Go back?"

Gao He, Bai Jing, and even Tong Xiangnan all showed surprised expressions.

I rubbed my aching temples vigorously.

Tong Xiangnan didn't ask until I put my hand down, "Do you know why he went back?"

"Because Zhao Boqing's wife told him something—Zhao Boqing had collected a treasure."

I raised my hand again to rub my temples.

Tong Xiangnan glanced at the wall clock and suddenly said, "Let's leave this matter here for now. Don't think about it anymore."

"Why?" Gao asked, glancing at him sideways.

"Didn't I just say that he's a patient?"

Tong Xiangnan was somewhat displeased. "Actually, his situation is more complicated and more dangerous than the child I mentioned. You should know that his other personality is a criminal!"
Right now, two thoughts are running through his mind: he hasn't done anything out of line because he himself is still in control. But this control is by no means stable.

Imagine if he were in charge, he would still be in a precarious position. But what if Lü Xin were in charge? Then he would lose his position and become like Lü Xin, who might then do things that would land him in prison or even on the execution platform!

Gao raised an eyebrow: "Is it that serious?"

Tong Xiangnan waved his hand forcefully: "Don't interrupt."

He turned to me and said in a deep voice, "I can't think of a specific way to cure you right now, but given your current condition, we can't delay any longer. I can only teach you an emergency method that might slow down Lü Xin's encroachment on you."

"What method?" Bai Jing and Gao He asked at the same time.

“I’ll do the opposite!” Tong Xiangnan paused, then emphasized, enunciating each word clearly: “I want you to have a split personality!”

……

The meeting has ended.

Once in the car, Gao He said, "With you in this state, don't even think about working for a while. Go home and take some time to recover."

"If I don't work, how will you support me?"

"Tsk, what kind of talk is that? It makes it sound like I have an improper relationship with you." Gao He said somewhat vaguely, "My secret stash is still with you, isn't it? Enough to tide you over for a while, right?"

I took out my wallet, pulled out his card, and placed it on the dashboard: "I'm not used to spending other people's money. If you really consider me a friend and want to help me, do two things for me."

Gao He sighed: "I'm sorry, there's one thing I can't help you with. Hu Hanlin, the mastermind behind the hospital corpse theft case, was actually terminally ill. He has always refused to admit that he was involved in human trafficking."

But just before he was taken to the emergency room, he suddenly smiled and said to me, "I've bought and sold at least nineteen children. Which one are you asking about?"

Gao He vigorously wiped his face. "He didn't make it off the emergency table. However, he mentioned two names: Ji Jianjun and Ding Xiu'e..."

"what……"

Before he could finish speaking, I roared and slammed my hands heavily on the dashboard, "Why her?!"
