by MarineTLChapter 44: Is Someone Spreading the Blue Whale Game? An Important Lead in the Case!!!
The Ferris wheel that had been cut off abruptly.
And the approaching figures of Su Ming, Xu Changsheng, and others.
Immediately triggered Huang Yan’s emotions. She frantically pulled out a fruit knife from her backpack, still stained with dried blood, and shouted:
“Don’t come closer!”
“I don’t know why you found me so quickly, but don’t come any closer!!!”
Su Ming and the others, who had intended to control Huang Yan as quickly as possible and restore power to the Ferris wheel to avoid causing panic among other tourists, stopped in their tracks when they saw the fruit knife in Huang Yan’s hand. They dared not approach recklessly.
Of course, it wasn’t that they feared being harmed by Huang Yan, but they were afraid she might get too emotional and commit suicide. If she accidentally slit an artery, there might not be enough time to get her to the hospital!
Xu Changsheng stepped forward carefully, pressing his left hand downward in a soothing manner, speaking gently:
“Don’t be nervous, don’t be nervous, Huang Yan.”
“We are here to help you, not to arrest you. There’s still a chance to fix everything.”
“Now, can you come out of the cabin?”
Xu Changsheng’s attempt at persuasion had no effect. As soon as he took a couple of steps forward, Huang Yan, in a highly agitated state, blocked his approach and shouted:
“Back off, back off!”
“You can’t help me. If you really want to help me…”
“Just let the Ferris wheel start up again, okay?”
“Officer, please, I beg you, just let me stay for one more round!”
“One round is all I ask!!!”
Huang Yan’s emotions were incredibly agitated, and her arm holding the fruit knife was trembling.
In this situation, the experienced Xu Changsheng would never allow Huang Yan to stay on the Ferris wheel for another round, as it could likely result in finding a lifeless body instead of Huang Yan.
But simply waiting wasn’t an option either!
They had to find a way to stabilize Huang Yan’s emotions quickly or get her out of the cabin by herself!!!
At this moment, Su Ming, who had been silent, narrowed his eyes and thought carefully for two seconds.
After analyzing Huang Yan’s current emotions and the possible reason behind the redness around her eyes, he seriously picked up his phone and spoke:
“Huang Yan.”
“Your parents are on their way here. Even if you’re really planning to do something extreme…”
“You should at least…”
“See your parents one last time and say everything you want to say before you leave.”
“Do you know why we were able to find you so quickly?”
“It’s because after I called your parents, they told me immediately.”
“This is the place where you are most likely to be!”
“You think they don’t care about you? Then why are they so sure that you’ll be here…”
Before Su Ming could finish, Huang Yan interrupted him, shaking her head and releasing her pent-up emotions:
“No, no way!”
“They haven’t even called me, how could they be on their way?!”
“Don’t lie to me!!!”
“Lying? Why would I lie to you?” Su Ming showed an expression of disdain and waved his phone.
“All the evidence is right here.”
“To prevent you from doing something irreversible due to emotional instability, we specifically asked your parents not to contact you and to leave everything to the police.”
“They just need to drop what they’re doing and get here as soon as possible!”
“Huang Yan, if you don’t believe me, I really can’t do anything about it, but you should think carefully…”
“If it weren’t for your parents telling me that this was your last chance to take a family photo on the Ferris wheel, how could we find you so quickly?”
“The police wouldn’t lie to someone like you.”
“This phone has call records. I’ll hand it to you now. The password is 2580.”
“To write up the case report, there’s even a recording of the call. You can listen to it yourself later!”
These words caused Huang Yan to go into a brief daze, and her inner turmoil deepened…
Yes, if it weren’t for what her parents and the police said, how could she have been found so quickly?!
This was absolutely impossible.
So, the reason her parents hadn’t called her was that the police had specifically asked them not to, in order to avoid affecting her emotions?
Huang Yan kept questioning herself in her mind.
Unknowingly, she had already fallen into the trap set by Su Ming.
Su Ming used Huang Yan’s probable use of drugs and opioids during this time and her likely diminished thinking and judgment abilities to create a psychological suggestion.
He made her believe that the police were able to find her so quickly because of her parents’ help.
This was intended to prove that her parents still cared about her, and they knew exactly where she would be.
Using pure psychological suggestion and reverse logic, Su Ming was able to calm Huang Yan’s tense emotions, gradually bringing her closer to him with the promise of showing her the phone as proof.
Xu Changsheng, standing behind, couldn’t help but gasp in shock. He was deeply astonished and unable to believe what he had just witnessed.
Because what Su Ming had just done was entirely psychological manipulation.
The most incredible part was…
In such a short time, Su Ming had come up with such a perfect method of suggestion, which was on par with the work of professional psychologists.
And, of course, he used the police’s authority as leverage to lie without his expression changing.
This method…
It was a good thing Su Ming was a detective; otherwise, based on his psychological skills alone, he would at least be registered as a person to keep an eye on.
At this moment.
While Huang Yan was still questioning herself, Su Ming had already walked up to the cabin.
He gently knocked on the door, unlocked it from the outside, and said with a serious expression:
“Come on.”
“I’ve unlocked the outside door.”
“Now unlock the inside and open it just a little.”
“I’ll give you the phone and you can check the call logs to see if I’m lying.”
“You just need to open the door a little, and you have the fruit knife, so you don’t have to worry anymore.”
Huang Yan immediately realized what was happening. She glanced at Su Ming, who was smiling faintly, then shifted her position slightly.
She unlocked the door inside the Ferris wheel cabin, opened it a little, and kept the fruit knife in her hand.
Just as she was about to take the phone from Su Ming…
He suddenly pulled the phone back slightly, as if he had remembered something, and with a gentle smile asked:
“Wait.”
“I just remembered something I need to ask.”
“Huang Yan, have you been interested in blue whales lately? Or do you want to go to the beach to see one?”
“I noticed…”
“You and Zhang Wan have both been looking into blue whales recently. What’s going on?”
“I’m a bit curious about this, and if you answer, it will count as a favor you are doing for me.”
Seeing the phone just within reach but deliberately out of her grasp, Huang Yan bit her lower lip and shifted closer to the door.
Her desire to take the phone grew stronger, and she anxiously said:
“It’s not that I like them, it’s a game, a game!”
“We’ve been playing something called the Blue Whale Game recently!!!”
When Su Ming heard “Blue Whale Game,” his expression became sharp, and he deliberately lowered the phone.
Just as Huang Yan was about to grab it…
He suddenly asked, with no warning:
“By the way.”
“Huang Yan, do you remember the lock screen password I told you?”
