by MarineTLChapter 38: If I Were Huang Yan, The Top-Level Criminal Profiling!!!
Upon reading the note, Su Ming narrowed his eyes slightly and immediately guessed…
This was Huang Yan’s suicide note to her parents.
Or rather…
It couldn’t really be called a “suicide note”—it was more like an expression of extreme disappointment, with the dried-up tear stains showing the inner pain Huang Yan was experiencing.
He temporarily set the note aside.
Su Ming picked up the crumpled pieces of paper, and compared to the one on the desk, the contents of these papers seemed more like a true suicide note.
Inside…
It expressed Huang Yan’s regrets and pain, her wish to become a blue whale, and, most notably…
A repeatedly mentioned issue…
Even when Huang Yan was in the hospital after the car accident, her parents only visited once, and the rest of the time, it was the nanny who took care of her.
Moreover…
Even when she was discharged from the hospital, they didn’t come back to see her—both of them were busy with so-called work.
Then…
On one of the crumpled papers, Su Ming keenly noticed a special sentence.
“I wish I could go back to ten years ago.”
“Back then, although our family didn’t have money, you were both with me. That was the happiest time of my life.”
“If I could…”
“Please let me die in that time, rather than dragging this broken leg around now, with everyone on the street pointing at me.”
“Heh, it’s time to go. This world isn’t worth holding on to.”
…
Upon reading this, Su Ming squinted his eyes slightly and began to analyze carefully.
At this point in time, Huang Yan should have been brainwashed by the blue whale ideology, but there was little mention of the blue whale in the discarded notes.
This undoubtedly indicated…
Compared to Zhang Wan, Huang Yan had not been as deeply controlled by the ideology.
This was likely because…
Unlike Zhang Wan, who had just lost her grandmother and been abandoned by her parents, Huang Yan’s tragedy was not as severe and not especially fatal.
The car accident that caused her limp had actually happened almost a year ago.
Even with all the resentment and pain, her emotions should have been mostly digested by now.
Moreover…
Her generally cheerful personality meant that she was not deeply affected by the ideological control.
The reason she chose to commit suicide was likely… to take revenge on her parents!
She wanted to use her life to prove…
Whether her parents valued her or money more!!!
With this premise in mind, Su Ming was able to make an accurate judgment…
The notes on the desk were absolutely written by Huang Yan before the fall incident; they were definitely not written after she fell.
Because…
From a normal person’s perspective, if Huang Yan had witnessed her friend Zhang Wan falling, especially after she had cut her radial artery, the contents of the note would not have been like this!
Zhang Wan, who had died, would definitely have occupied an extremely important place in those notes!!!
Therefore…
It was highly likely that Huang Yan did not return home after the fall incident, but instead went elsewhere to prepare to kill herself at any time!!!
But now, whether or not she returned home was no longer the key point.
The most critical question was…
Where was Huang Yan most likely hiding right now???
…
Thinking of this, Su Ming opened up the many crumpled suicide notes.
After rereading them, he squinted slightly and imagined himself as Huang Yan, softly muttering to himself.
“I am Huang Yan.”
“Today, I made an appointment to commit suicide with my best friend Zhang Wan. I hope to be reincarnated as a blue whale, swimming freely in the vast ocean.”
“At midnight.”
“I secretly returned to the familiar Shude High School through a side path, and my best friend Zhang Wan was already waiting for me here.”
“Just like when we were in school.”
“We walked side by side, talking about what had happened recently and the latest gossip.”
“But I could clearly feel…”
“Xiao Wan was not in a good mood. The things that had happened to her recently were really too heavy.”
“But soon, she would be relieved.”
“We arrived at the rooftop of the abandoned teaching building, set up a tablecloth and various drinks and snacks. It was quiet here and no one would disturb us.”
“In these final moments…”
“Xiao Wan was unusually cheerful, as if all the gloom had been swept away. We talked about the present, idols, secret crushes, and the unreachable future.”
“I thought…”
“We could chat like this until dawn, for a long, long time. But Xiao Wan’s heavy fall to the ground pulled me back to reality.”
At this moment.
After finishing his phone call, Xu Changsheng also noticed Su Ming muttering to himself.
At first, he was puzzled.
But after listening for a while, his face suddenly showed a shocked expression, and he instinctively sucked in a breath!
Because…
As an experienced criminal investigator, Xu Changsheng could tell…
Su Ming was putting himself in the suspect’s shoes, engaging in criminal profiling, trying to recreate what happened last night!!!
Using this method, he aimed to pinpoint where Huang Yan might be hiding!
Criminal profiling was not as simple as it seemed.
Simply putting oneself in the suspect’s position was something most detectives couldn’t do!!!
Because…
Years of experience in catching criminals had fixed many detectives’ thinking patterns, making it impossible for them to consider things from the perspective of the suspect!!!
However…
For Su Ming, who had tens of thousands of criminal experiences, putting himself in the criminal’s shoes and thinking from their perspective was undoubtedly the easiest thing for him to do!!!
While Xu Changsheng was marveling at this, Su Ming’s not-so-loud muttering voice slowly sounded again.
“She… left first.”
“I’ll never have a friend as good as her again, but I can’t cry or feel sad. I still need to take care of the aftermath.”
“I have to be strong!!!”
“I picked up the broom and swept away the footprints. I can’t let the police find me too quickly from these footprints, because there are still things I need to do.”
“I came downstairs and saw Xiao Wan.”
“She looked like she was in a lot of pain, her eyes seemed to be asking me to take her on her final journey. I picked up the fruit knife I had prepared…”
“Leaving Shude High School, I felt a vague discomfort in my heart.”
“In my life…”
“The most important friend has already left, so where should I go now?”
“Should I just go home and end my life?”
“No!”
“Even if I have to leave, I want to die in that time when I was the happiest…”
“Then…”
“Where is my happiest time?”
“Since I value this time so much, I will definitely collect all related photos, writings, and items, because these are my memories.”
“As long as I find those things, I can find where I am right now…”
