Eyes that are the same as those of evil

Chapter 177 The Hand of God 30
Zheng Yan didn't even bother to meet Yan Shulin's parents. He arranged for the injured Tan Ming to go out and receive them, while the rest of the people continued to busy themselves with investigating the victims' information.

Because of the shortage of manpower, Zheng Yan applied to have other people transferred to help, and the city was suddenly filled with police officers.

Although the number of investigators was limited compared to the number of cases, with more and more people being sent out, coupled with the precise searches by the technical team, they finally found a victim who met the criteria.

However, we also learned some unfortunate news: so far, out of more than a dozen victims, five have been murdered. The perpetrators include relatives, friends, husbands/wives, students/teachers, and the methods used in most of them are extremely cruel. Each of these cases would be a murder case that would require many days of investigation.

It's easy to imagine that they'll be spending the next month or two working on these cases.

Having obtained useful information, Zheng Yan went back into the interrogation room, while the others stayed in the office watching the live broadcast, ready to receive important information at any time.

This tactic worked very well. When Yan Shulin heard that someone had escaped the ending of the program simulation, he immediately turned around and said it was impossible, and then asked who it was.

"Is he the materials chemistry guy who's a senior aiming for graduate school?"

Zheng Yan shook his head: "No. This person was already killed by you. Didn't you witness it at the scene a year and a half ago?"

It turned out to be a test.

Yan Shulin's calm expression turned impatient: "Who is that? The family from the second marriage? Or the old man from the Chinese medicine shop?"

"neither."

This answer was a signal. The people guarding outside began to urgently investigate the two victims Yan Shulin had mentioned. Once they found them, they called the police officers outside and asked the nearest person to rush to the destination to rescue the victims.

The person mentioned at this point is the one whose end is imminent and who is in the most danger.

Neither of his guesses were correct. Yan Shulin was showing signs of going crazy. His eyes darted left and right, his fingers were scribbling random circles on the table, and he was muttering to himself.

"Impossible, he can't be, this can't be either. The simulator's predictions have been updated, I've corrected the changes. I've observed their personalities for a long time, they'll definitely continue... Impossible, could it be another switch of roles? Impossible, the twins are sick, I didn't notice it at first. I've observed the others for a long time, was it the other person who died? Is that right!"

Zheng Yan calmly shook his head: "No one was killed. Everyone in that story is alive and well. This shows that your simulator, like other ordinary game programs, will always have bugs. The complexity of human beings cannot be represented by a few initial values. You can create accidents, but at the same time, other accidents will negate your design. Yan Shulin, you are not God, and the world is not a program. Everything before was just you..."

"Impossible!" Yan Shulin suddenly stood up and tried to overturn the table. His handcuffed hands gripped the edge of the table as he shouted at him, "Impossible! You must have interfered. Their fate can be predicted by the program. I update it frequently, and it hasn't had any errors since it started running! All the characters I created are one-to-one replicas of real people, giving them complex personalities and preferences. Input the trigger conditions... My simulator is a real world! No one can escape the predicted ending!"

He was emotionally agitated and frantic, desperately trying to rush forward, but was held down in place, his neck veins and bulging veins red and swollen.

Like a fanatical believer.

Zheng Yan took the opportunity to extract more names and detailed information from him, which was then passed on to the technical team, and the field police officers went door-to-door to investigate one by one.

By the end of the interrogation, Zheng Yan's voice had become hoarse.

But the outcome was good; they finally completed the identification of the victim.

"There were a total of seventeen people. As of now, seven have been killed, three are missing, and the remaining seven are still safe. However, the lives of most of them have been ruined by the accident orchestrated by Yan Shulin. People like Zou Yuxuan and Huang Yilin, even if they don't end up fighting to the death, they can never get back together. A couple who have been loving for many years have separated, both of them suffering losses."

Tan Ming shook his head: "It has caused a great deal of harm."

Zheng Yan downed a bottle of water before speaking in a hoarse voice, "Don't rush to make any closing remarks. The current interrogation is just to find out who the victims are. If we want him to confess, we need to focus on the first three cases."

“How about letting him meet with Kuang Fan? Two arrogant and self-important people meeting, one of whom is also good at psychological stimulation, the conversation is bound to be interesting,” Tan Jia said.

She would just watch from outside, like observing a model sketching session, and then create her own dough sculptures based on the interactive experience. Zheng Yan agreed with her idea and then asked about the results of the forensic examination.

"Besides the social simulator and sand table, what other useful things did you bring back from Yan Shulin's house?"

The forensic examination yielded a stack of photos, all taken when Yan Shulin appeared at the scene of each case. This is very important evidence.

In addition, Tan Ming discovered something during his investigation of Yan Shulin.

“We were wondering before why he chose Huang Yilin as his subject of observation, and also knew that Huang Yilin was infertile, because he also had brucellosis, and he and Huang Yilin had booked an appointment with the same specialist at the same time.”

Tan Jia raised an eyebrow: "Is he also infertile?"

Tan Ming: "It's said that the problem isn't that serious, but it has indeed made him weaker than the average person. That's why he dropped out of school and went home."

"Oh, the body is failing, so the mind becomes twisted. How familiar is this murder psychology?"

This argument is just an excuse. There are many disabled people in the world, so why don't we see that all disabled people are murderers?

It's just the same issue as bad people getting old and old people becoming bad.

Looking at the names and clues written on the whiteboard, Zheng Yan took a sip of water to moisten his throat and said, "Let's meet Yan Shulin and Kuang Fan and see if we can get anything out of them."

Tan Ming was to handle this matter, and they originally planned to go and oversee it, but then Xiao Chen called.

"Captain Zheng, there really is someone whose simulated ending is different from Yan Shulin's!"

Tan Jia became interested and leaned closer to ask first, "Who is it?"

"A girl labeled as fickle was tricked by Yan Shulin into being with a particularly possessive juvenile delinquent. Moreover, the girl was unaware that the other party had committed a crime. You said that her ending in the simulator was that she would be killed, but an accident happened in the middle. This man cheated on her first, and then got into a car accident on his way to find his mistress and died on the spot."

"...Wow, what a dramatic effect! Indeed, no amount of human design can compare to the unpredictability of life."

Now that I've told Yan Shulin about this, I wonder if he'll laugh or cry.

Before she could figure out Yan Shulin's possible reaction, Kuang Fan's roar came from outside.

"impossible!"

What an old-fashioned catchphrase! She'd heard it so many times in this series of cases that she was practically sick of it.

As she walked out of the office and turned the corner in the corridor, she didn't notice Kuang Fan and Yan Shulin, but she immediately saw Huang Yilin and Zhou Yan.

One or two were incredulous and utterly devastated.

Huang Yilin kept repeating "impossible," his whole body trembling. Suddenly, he let out a shrill scream and lunged forward, trying to strangle Yan Shulin.

"You're the one who deserves to die! You ruined me! You ruined my wife! Give me back my Yuxuan!"

　This case will be closed tomorrow. There will be a little romance going on next, followed by the next case.
