Later, after the police inspected the scene, they took away the bodies of Lu Jieyi and the boy, along with the silent fool.
A group of people were busy at the police station all night long. By the time Lu Shoucai arrived, it was already one o'clock in the morning.
Lu Shoucai stood in front of the morgue door, staring blankly at the corpse lying flat in the center of the room. His eyes were as wide as a child's, as if he didn't quite understand the meaning of the scene in front of him.
Qin Yin pursed her lips and rubbed her sour nose with her hand. She couldn't bear to look at it any more. She turned around and walked up the stairs.
She was going to see the fool.
The fool was taking notes. As the only witness at the crime scene, the police had too many questions to ask.
She originally thought that the world would end at the moment of Lu Yueyi's death, but it seemed that the mission was still not over until now, indicating that there were still things she needed to know.
Lu Jieyi is already dead, so the rest of the time belongs to the fool.
But thinking about it, they were originally looking for the fool. What they saw also existed in the fool's memory. However, during this period of time, Lu Yueyi's life and the fool's life were different.
There are beautiful coincidences in life.
A beautiful but sad coincidence.
Qin Yin followed a young female police officer into the interrogation room.
"Okay," a police officer who was taking notes looked at the notes in front of him, raised his head and said to the fool opposite, "So is this what you saw as the prisoner committed the crime?"
The fool nodded numbly.
"Classmate Xu Zishan, can you repeat what you just said?" the police officer asked.
The fool nodded slowly again, "Okay."
"Then please begin."
"First... I received a call from Lu Qieyi at home. You should be able to find the call record... If Lu Qieyi's phone still works..." The fool's voice was soft, and the order of the words was a bit messy.
"Okay, go on."
"As soon as the call was connected, I heard Lu Jieyi scream, and then her phone broke and the call was hung up." The fool swallowed hard and raised his hand timidly, "No.
Excuse me, can I have a sip of water?"
The fool was like an eagle with its tail feathers chopped off, pale and weak. Qin Yin's heart felt so dull that it ached. She opened her mouth and breathed heavily, feeling that she was about to suffocate.
The policeman handed him a glass of water. The fool held the glass in both hands and drank it greedily.
He put down the cup and continued, "I felt very uneasy after that, so I called Tian Rui. Tian Rui is Lu Qieyi's friend. She told me that Lu Qieyi was in danger and needed me to save her...
Tian Rui can prove what I say."
"Well, you continue."
"Then I set off. Tian Rui told me the exact location of the dance studio. When I rushed to the building, I heard...screaming from upstairs."
He hesitated and did not tell the truth - what he heard was a whistle.
"Is it the scream of the victim Lu Yuiyi?" the police officer's expression did not change at all.
"Yes... yes, it was Lu Qieyi's scream," the fool nodded absently, "Then I ran upstairs and saw that the man was trying to strangle... strangle her to death."
"Strangulation?" the police officer asked, "What tool was used?"
"Sorry, it was strangulation," the fool quickly corrected, "with his own hands."
"Well, keep talking."
"I told that man to let Lu Guiyi go, but he refused. I said that if he let Lu Guiyi go, I would not attack him, so he agreed..."
"You said it was because you have been studying Taekwondo for many years and have mastered some fighting skills, so the prisoner was shocked by this negotiation condition, right?" the police officer asked.
The fool thought for a moment, then nodded, "I think so."
"Do you know the prisoner?"
"I don't know him, I've never seen him before." The fool said truthfully.
"Then why does he know about your study of Taekwondo?"
"I...I don't know," the fool hesitated, "but I feel...he seems to know a lot of things."
"About you?"
"About Lu Jieyi."
The police officer's expression finally changed. His brows furrowed, but he quickly recovered and said, "Okay, continue."
"He promised to let Lu Yuiyi go." For a moment, the fool's eyes became a little distracted. "He actually let go, but he also hid a knife behind Lu Yuiyi's back. I didn't notice it."
, later, he stabbed Lu to death with that knife... stabbed her to death."
The end of the fool's voice was as empty as his eyes, and the "she" floated away.
"Did the criminal attack the victim from behind?"
"Yes, behind." The fool raised his hand and touched his back. "If it were from the front, I would have discovered it, and I might have had time to save her."
The police officer comforted him in a routine manner, "You were right not to act rashly. Don't blame yourself."
"Can……"
"Go on," the female police officer finally said, "What happened to the victim after he was injured?"
"After that... I was shocked and looked at Lu Qieyi speechless," the fool said. "While I was shocked, that person still wanted to kill me."
"So he attacked you first?"
"...Yes," the fool lowered his eyes and said in a muffled voice, "He wants to stab me to death with a knife."
"How do you fight back?"
"I raised my leg and kicked him in the neck," the fool said, "and my leg was also injured."
The female police officer glanced at the fool's legs, then raised them and said, "Why would you want to attack the prisoner's neck?"
"Because of prediction."
"Prejudgment?"
"Yes," the fool said, "He subconsciously protected his head and chest. If I hit other parts, I would be injured, so it was only the neck."
"About how many times were you attacked?" the female police officer said softly.
"The specific number... I don't know," the fool shook his head. "He attacked me a few times, and I fought back a few times. I didn't take the initiative to attack, I just fought back in self-defense."
Qin Yin breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably.
At least... this fool is not stupid enough to blow himself up.
"Okay." The female police officer nodded. She raised her right hand and motioned for the fool to continue telling the story.
"Afterwards, his knife fell away," said the fool. "I picked up the knife and prepared to run away, but he threw me down, struggled with me, and planned to kill me with the knife..."
The male police officer recorded quickly, raising his head from time to time to pay attention to the fool's expression.
"In the end, he controlled me to stand in front of him, and he just waved the knife, intending to kill me..." The fool made a gesture of raising the knife to stab himself, "I ducked to the side and avoided
, and his knife plunged into his own body, that's all."
