Eyes that are the same as those of evil

Chapter 235 Confess to Me 8
From the moment Yuan Hanyue appeared, Tan Jia's gaze was fixed on her face, from her slightly anxious brows and eyes, to the slightly stiff curve of her lips, all the way to her hand that was tightly gripping her bag.

Those hands gradually overlapped with the hands that held the screwdriver and stabbed people in the dream.

Then I noticed Yuan Hanyue's clothes. She was wearing a brand new blue dress that made her skin look fair. The red dress from last night and the blood splattered on her body had been cleaned up completely.

But there don't seem to be any marks from a fight with the deceased?
Zheng Yan was also observing Yuan Hanyue discreetly, taking out his identification to prove his identity, and then said seriously, "We received a report that real human blood was found in a murder mystery game shop located in an unfinished building on Xilin Street, and it is suspected that someone committed a crime. According to the surveillance video provided by the shop's staff, you were at the scene last night. Now we have a few questions for you."

Yuan Hanyue's eye twitched slightly, then she made a surprised expression.

Human blood? Someone is injured?

Zheng Yan, oblivious to her unease, simply said, "Yes," and then asked a few questions.

"Did you see anyone get into a physical altercation during last night's game?"

She shook her head.

"Have you noticed anyone who looks injured? The staff at the murder mystery game shop, or other male players?"

Her expression remained unchanged, and she shook her head again.

Perhaps feeling that it was strange for her to just shake her head without speaking, she paused for a few seconds before finally saying something longer.

"The murder mystery game I played last night was pretty scary. There were screaming and running people everywhere, so it's normal for people to get injured. But I didn't really notice anyone getting into a fight."

After speaking, he paused for a moment, then asked casually, "Where was it found? Maybe I really did see it last night, but the red light was very dim, and everything was red, so I missed it."

Zheng Yan also played along, pretending to be stupid.

"The last room on the second floor, it's furnished like a doctor's office, with some photos on the walls. You've been there, haven't you?"

“I think so,” she said, as if recalling something. “Last night I was so scared that I just checked out a lot of the plot points and ran away. The room with the photos… When I went there, I didn’t see anyone having a conflict. Everyone was laughing and shouting and running out in a swarm.”

It's normal to pause when recalling something, but she kept her handbag strap tightly in her hand, seemingly using this action to calm herself down.

"You seem very nervous," Tan Jia said quietly from behind.

Yuan Hanyue gave a perfunctory smile without even looking at who was asking the question: "Anyone would be nervous if the police came knocking on their door, right?"

Zheng Yan nodded in understanding: "Don't be nervous, we're just here to address a few issues. Could you tell us the names of a few of your friends? We need to visit them further."

He opened the palm-sized notebook and handed it to Yuan Hanyue to write down the list.

She answered normally, and as she wrote down the first name, Zheng Yan suddenly asked, "It's obvious that you guys are all quite wealthy. Why would you go to an unfinished building to play murder mystery games? The environment there is pretty bad. Wouldn't it be better to have a castle-themed murder mystery game every few kilometers?"

Yuan Hanyue's pen paused for a moment.

This time, she actually spaced out for a few seconds.

“Because that script is very famous…” she said slowly, as if she herself was hesitating. After she finished speaking, she did not continue to explain, but lowered her head again to write down the second name.

After finishing writing, she returned the notebook to Zheng Yan, gave a perfunctory smile, and asked, "Is that enough? I have something else to do." The notebook contained the names of six people, the same number as those in the surveillance footage, including a clearly female name... She even included the short-haired girl.

Zheng Yan glanced at the list. Although she wasn't sure if any of the names were of deceased individuals, the fact that she could write them down so fluently suggested that she had likely planned for the deaths or disappearances of the deceased.

"Thank you for your help. You can leave now."

As they watched Yuan Hanyue enter the house, they slowly walked out.

Xiao Chen said in a low voice, "I finally understand what Comrade Green Wolf meant by that sense of incongruity."

"Well, judging from her attitude when being questioned, she seems like a pretty decent person. You know, not everyone is willing to cooperate during interviews, especially wealthy people, and especially wealthy people who are suspected of being involved. Their attitude can be so bad that they can point their finger at you and tell you to get lost."

Tan Jia, acting as the opposing debater, said: "You are generalizing from a few examples. Many wealthy people are quite willing to cooperate in order to save face."

Xiao Chen: "Hey, that's not what I meant. It's that the attitude she showed was different from her state on the surveillance footage, her public image, and our deductive reasoning. She's a very contradictory person. She doesn't seem like a wealthy person with a happy and fulfilling life, nor does she seem like a calm killer who would commit murder and dispose of a body. Instead, it feels like she's anxious about something."

Tan Ming speculated: "Schizophrenia? Multiple personality disorder?"

Xiao Chen's face fell: "No way! I never thought there were so many mentally unstable people before. Why do they all come here when I'm investigating a case? If I keep coming into contact with these kinds of people, I'll go mentally unstable too."

“But it really does seem like multiple personality disorder,” Tan Jia said thoughtfully. “When she was asked why she went to that unfinished building to play murder mystery games, she seemed a little confused herself and thought about it for a moment. But she must have guessed the reason, or knew about the existence of other personalities, so her reaction was not big and she did not want to expose it.”

Furthermore, her multiple personality disorder can also explain why she gives people a sense of incongruity.

Because Yuan Hanyue appears at different times, she cannot be considered the same person; different personalities have different traits.

The more she thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed. She wanted to ask Zheng Yan, but then she found that Zheng Yan had suddenly changed his mind.

"Find out how many entrances and exits there are, and have someone guard them," Zheng Yan said in a low voice, glancing diagonally behind him.

Tan Jia asked curiously, "Do you think Yuan Hanyue is going to run away?"

"If your guess is correct, and she has multiple personalities, then the different personalities will react differently to our visits, and one of them will eventually become unstable."

"If your guess is wrong, then her unusual behavior must mean something else has happened. I suspect she's also losing her composure and will take the next step."

Whether she's running away or searching for someone, she can't just sit at home and wait to die.

After explaining the stakeout, Zheng Yan tore off a list from the notebook and handed it to Tan Ming: "Take some men and investigate these people. If there are any accomplices who disagree with Yuan Hanyue, they might be able to tell us some secrets."

With surveillance footage and a name, finding the person shouldn't be difficult.

Not long after, Tan Ming sent back a message saying that the list Yuan Hanyue provided was actually correct; no names were written randomly, and no deceased persons were omitted.

"There's only one person I can't reach. I checked, and it should be the deceased, Zhou Wen'an. His family owns a real estate company, and Moon Bay is one of the residential projects they developed. I'm on my way to their house now..."

Just as Zheng Yan was about to give a word of advice, an urgent message came from the police.

Yuan Hanyue really ran away!
