"In less than a month, there were 4 consecutive murders at that school. Strangely enough, someone predicted that the murders would happen but the adults at the school did not seem to care." Li Xue's teacher leaned back in his chair. He thought back to the case that happened years ago.
"Predicted the murders?"
"The 4 murders corresponded to 4 victims. The first victim was a school security guard. He drowned in the river behind the school after drinking too much. The second victim was the form teacher of Class 4. She was murdered in the hostel's toilet. The killer disguised it as a suicide. The third victim was a ruffian from outside the school. He was in a relationship with a girl from the school. In the end, he fell from the building and the scene of his death was also disguised as a suicide. The last victim was called Jing Sheng, he was a new student from Class 4.
"Is there any connection between the 4 victims? Did the killer kill randomly? Or was it premeditated? "
"All 4 of their deaths were disguised as suicides. The 4 of them had different identities and professions, they appeared to have no connection at all. However, before the murders, the child by the name of Jin Sheng used a unique method to predict the deaths of the other victims. "The old man did not hide anything from Han Fei, he did not seem to want to lie about these things.
"The last victim predicted the deaths of the other victims?"
"You can put it that way." The old man's gaze moved away from Han Fei. He was reminded of something that happened many years ago. "The last victim, Jing Sheng, was a very unique child. He was mischievous and mischievous. His parents were away at work so he was taken care of by his grandparents.
"The child loved to listen to the old folk tales from the village. He liked to make up the so-called ghost stories himself. But ever since he entered Yi Ming Private Academy, everything started to change. "
He stopped telling ghost stories but he started to warn the people around him that the school was really haunted. "
The old man turned his head and glanced at Han Fei. Seeing that Han Fei didn't respond, he continued.
"Before the first murder, Jing Sheng once told his roommate a story.
"He said that one night, when he went to the toilet, he saw a man tiptoeing with his head lowered, following behind the security guard. No matter where the security guard went, the man would follow him, and the security guard didn't seem to notice."
"After Jing Sheng told this story to his roommate, the security guard died a few days later.
"After learning about the guard's death, Jin Sheng was terrified. He said that the man behind the guard had seen him and that the man was coming to find him."
"My roommate did not believe this at all. He told the homeroom teacher about Jin Sheng. The new female teacher is very responsible. She has been comforting Jin Sheng, but Jin Sheng does not dare get too close to the homeroom teacher.
"He kept warning his homeroom teacher to be careful when he was alone at night and not to talk to the students in the corridor."
"But on the second night after he warned the homeroom teacher, she was murdered."
"Jin Sheng became a bit crazy. He started to talk nonsense. Everyone thought that he was suffering from too much stimulation, which led to a mental problem."
"The school allowed him to go home to rest, but a few days later, Jin Sheng returned to school. He wanted to scratch a girl's face like a madman. He said that the girl looked exactly like a ghost."
"The girl's face was scratched. She was sent to the hospital and Jin Sheng was punished."
"Just when everyone thought that was the end of the incident, the girl's boyfriend, a gangster from outside the school, came to the school late at night. He seemed to be planning to go on a date with his girlfriend, but the next day, we found his body at the school."
"The victims in the 3 cases had different identities. The only connection between them was Jin Sheng. But when we prepared to investigate further, Jin Sheng disappeared."
"In the end, we found him inside a cupboard in Jin Sheng's dormitory. The boy had already stopped breathing."
"Due to poor management and poor quality of education, Yi Ming Private Academy was forced to close down. Not long after that, it was abandoned."
The old man had been through many things but when he mentioned Jin Sheng's death, there was a slight shift in his tone. It sounded like he was feeling sorry for Jin Sheng.
"How did you find out this case is related to the Butterfly? Is it because all the victims were faked as suicides? "
Han Fei was still confused. "The way the victims died was one of the clues but more importantly, we managed to find out the location where Meng Changan and the Butterfly met. One of them was the abandoned Yi Ming Private Academy." The old man's gaze was scary. "The Butterfly even asked Meng Changan, if he was the killer, what method would he use to drive Jin Sheng insane?"
"The Butterfly has been to Yi Ming Private Academy? Meng Changan told them all this? "
"To interrogate Meng Changan, we've used many new technologies." The old man did not elaborate, he turned to look at Han Fei. "You seem to be very interested in this case."
"I'm interested in all the cases related to the Butterfly. If possible, I'd like to capture the Butterfly myself." Han Fei was not lying, that was what he really thought.
"I think it's better to leave the task of capturing the killer to the police." A faint smile appeared on the old man's face. "That's a bit off topic. I'm here today to meet you and give you the reward."
The car door opened. The police officer took out Han Fei's phone from a special bag and returned it to Han Fei.
At the same time, Han Fei's phone vibrated.
He took out his phone to check with confusion. There was an extra 60,000 RMB in his citizen account.
"50,000 is the reward, the remaining 10,000 is from me. Thank you for helping me fulfill a wish."
The old man did not waste any more of Han Fei's time. He watched Han Fei leave.
After Han Fei disappeared from the old man's sight, the other officer asked, "Sir, do you think he's the Butterfly?"
"The timeline doesn't add up. The Butterfly's craziest crime happened 10 years ago, at the time, he was still a child." The faint smile on the old man's face disappeared. "Continue to protect him. There's something special about this child, the Butterfly will definitely come to him."
"Something special?"
"The kind of presence that comes from struggling at the bottom of the abyss, I've sensed it before from another Grade S criminal." The old man took out his phone. He keyed in a long series of passwords and the phone projected Han Fei's personality model.
Then he keyed in his own password on the model. After his identity was verified, the information lock on Han Fei's personality model was unlocked.
"During the Bloody Night at the Happy Orphanage, Han Fei was only 10. As the only survivor, he suffered from acute psychological stress. His consciousness was altered and his perception of time and space was distorted.
"The sounds, smells, images, and even physical contact related to a murder case will cause the traumatic scenes to flash repeatedly in his mind. When he closes his eyes, his perception of the world will turn into a cruel, bloody red."
"After initial treatment, the patient's recovery rate far exceeded expectations. Other than the inability to smile, he could already live like a normal person.
"Based on the expert's analysis, the patient has a healing personality. He has strong adaptability and self-regulation.
