Chapter 46: Huang Yan’s Confession, The Blue Whale Game is Just a Tool for Crime!!!

Although the general details are still unclear, it’s evident from the method used by the hidden criminal suspect, who can control consciousness and use the so-called “Blue Whale Game” to make victims commit suicide, that this suspect has a very high criminal IQ. This is unlike the easily solvable cases.

Currently, the only breakthrough point is to gather more useful clues from Huang Yan.

Due to the increasing severity of the case, Su Ming and Xu Changsheng did not waste any more time. They walked into the interrogation room with the necessary materials.

At this moment, Huang Yan was sitting quietly in the interrogation chair, her head lowered, clearly much more emotionally stable. However, for safety reasons, her handcuffs were still on to prevent any self-harm if she suffered a drug relapse.

Upon returning to the criminal investigation team, the technical department had immediately taken Huang Yan for a blood test, confirming the presence of drugs and opiates in her system. The substances were similar to those found in Zhang Wan’s blood. Although she seemed stable now, it was not impossible for her to experience a relapse and do something extreme.

Su Ming walked to Huang Yan and knocked on the interrogation chair to bring her back to attention, then moved to the back of the room. He turned on the pre-set camera and spoke softly to Huang Yan, who seemed tired.

“According to the law, when interrogating a minor, a guardian, such as your parents, must be present. However, due to the severity of this case, to avoid any interference with the interrogation, they won’t be in the room with you. But…”

Su Ming pointed to the camera overhead.

“They will be watching through the surveillance to ensure we’re not coercing or inducing a confession from you.”

“Once the interrogation is done, if everything goes well, we can arrange for your family to meet and even have a meal together here at the station. But that depends on your cooperation.”

“Do you understand?”

After Su Ming finished speaking, Huang Yan nodded lightly, though she didn’t speak. He sat down next to Xu Changsheng and said softly, “Brother Sheng, Huang Yan’s mental state seems stable, we can start.”

Xu Changsheng showed no hesitation. He looked seriously at the somewhat nervous Huang Yan and said solemnly, “Let’s skip the tedious identity confirmation process.”

“Huang Yan, everything I ask you from now on is important, so don’t hide anything or try to evade.”

“First.”

“You were with Zhang Wan around midnight yesterday, right?”

“Yes, I was with Xiao Wan,” Huang Yan nodded nervously before answering.

Though the current clues suggest that this is most likely the case, it’s still necessary to confirm the details for the case file and trial.

Xu Changsheng continued with the questions, “Was anyone else at the scene besides you? If not, describe the situation and what happened in detail.”

Although he didn’t expect much, Xu Changsheng still hoped that there might be someone else at the scene, perhaps the mastermind behind everything. That would make solving the case much easier.

After a long period without rest, Huang Yan looked tired. She shook her head and answered hoarsely, “No, it was just me and Xiao Wan. At midnight that night, I snuck back to the school through a side path as agreed with Xiao Wan, and we went to the abandoned teaching building together.”

“Then we sat on the rooftop with a cloth mat, eating snacks we brought and chatting.”

At this point, Su Ming suddenly interrupted Huang Yan and asked a critical question.

“While eating snacks and chatting, did either of you feel scared?”

“Because, you know, if you fall from such a high building, at the very least you’ll be paralyzed for life, unable to move and forced to lie in bed.”

Clearly, Su Ming wanted to use this question to determine the mental state of both Zhang Wan and Huang Yan, and to judge how deeply the mastermind had controlled their consciousness.

Huang Yan seemed reluctant to recall her best friend, who had already passed away. After a few seconds of silence, she shook her head before nodding and answering, “Xiao Wan wasn’t scared.”

“I was actually a little scared. I even asked Xiao Wan to drink the paraquat with me so at least the death wouldn’t be as painful.”

“But Xiao Wan refused. She said…”

“She wasn’t afraid at all, she was completely fed up with this world, and she wanted to become the blue whale in the ocean through this game.”

“As for…”

“Whether she would be paralyzed, Xiao Wan didn’t think about it. She specifically told me…”

“If anything happened, she wanted me to do her one last favor.”

At this point, Su Ming was already sure.

Zhang Wan’s level of control was much deeper than Huang Yan’s, which was likely related to her tragic experiences. Since the death of her grandmother, it seemed like no one cared for her anymore. Even if she died, she would quickly be forgotten!

Xu Changsheng pressed his palms together into a triangle, tapping his left hand with his right index finger, and continued seriously, “So.”

“The wound on Zhang Wan’s left wrist, was it you who cut it?”

“With…The knife from the Ferris wheel cabin, right?”

Huang Yan nodded again, her eyes filling with tears. She seemed unwilling to recall the events and grabbed her hair, softly saying, “Yes… it was me.”

“I really couldn’t do anything. Looking at Xiao Wan’s wide-open eyes and her pleading look, I just couldn’t refuse her one last request!!!”

“I couldn’t do anything for her, so I just let her become the blue whale she dreamed of, to swim freely in the deep sea.”

“I think…She’s already fulfilled her dream, right? She became that…”

Before Huang Yan could finish her sentence, Su Ming immediately interrupted her, his face cold and emotionless.

“No.”

“Suicide didn’t turn her into a blue whale, it turned her into a cold body in a funeral home.”

“Because.”

“The so-called Blue Whale Game you speak of is simply…”

“A tool for someone’s crime!!!”
