dead innocent

He Cheng has been hypnotized, and more than once...

Chu Xingyun was the first to think of He Ying. If what Dr. Li said is true, it means that even He Cheng himself doesn't know, or doesn't remember that he was hypnotized.Since he didn't remember that he had been hypnotized, the loss of this part of memory may be the result of hypnosis.In other words, He Cheng had been hypnotized, and the purpose of the hypnosis was to make him lose a certain part of his memory, as well as the fact that he had been hypnotized.

He Cheng will not lie to him, and he will not hide anything from him until now, so the only person who can know the inside story and hide something from them is He Ying.

If He Cheng was really hypnotized, it could only be when he was a child, and before he was eight years old.Because when he first arrived in No. [-] Courtyard of Heping Avenue, He Cheng was already eight years old, and he participated in He Cheng's life after that. If there was anything that happened to He Cheng that had to be forgotten through hypnosis, he had no reason not to know.

At first he suspected that the hypnosis He Cheng received was related to the kidnapping that year, but Dr. Li disagreed, and told him that He Cheng's memory of that year was very complete and clear. He remembered every detail of that year, even remembering being imprisoned. Every conversation with the kidnapper.But his memory of the year he was eight years old and before that was very vague, perhaps part of the reason was that he was too young at that time.When He Cheng was chatting with her before, he once let go of his guard and talked about that vague memory back then, and only said that there was a boy's back in his memory.

Dr. Li's words immediately reminded him of the back of the little boy that He Cheng said he saw on the second floor of the banquet hall. That child was a girl, but He Cheng said that what he saw was a boy...

"The picture in his memory was confused."

Dr. Li said: "Now he is easy to be hypnotized, his thoughts are easy to lose control, and he is also easy to be controlled by others. So I suspect that he confused the memory of last night with the vague memory of his childhood."

What she said, Chu Xingyun tried so hard to understand, how confused he was, as if the person who was 'hypnotized' and 'lost his memory' was not He Cheng, but him.

"If He Cheng had been hypnotized before, wouldn't he have the slightest impression?"

Dr. Li said: "The human brain is amazing. It is a field that will never be thoroughly developed and fully understood. What I said is just a guess based on my experience. I think He Cheng must have been hypnotized. My reason, if you don’t believe it, you can find other psychiatrists and hypnotists, I believe their conclusions will not be much different from mine.”

Chu Xingyun waved his hands again and again: "No, no, Dr. Li, I believe in you and your judgment. I just can't imagine for a while, if He Cheng was really hypnotized, it would be because of something—"

As he spoke, he paused, raised his head and stared at the woman across from him: "He passed out last night, was he hypnotized?"

Dr. Li nodded: "Very likely, this is exactly what I want to tell you."

Chu Xingyun seemed to be thoroughly poured by cold water in an instant, silently clenched his curly head, his bones and joints creaked, and he really wanted to find a place to punch him hard.

Dr. Li gathered the cardigan on his body and said, "If you want him to remember what happened last night, I suggest that he undergo hypnosis again."

Hypnotized again?

Just now He Cheng showed unbearable expression when he was hypnotized, and the painful expression was still floating in front of his eyes. It was not only a kind of torture for He Cheng, but also for him.But now he wants to persuade He Cheng to accept hypnosis again until he remembers all the things he had forgotten.

Chu Xingyun suddenly felt that he was cruel, more cruel than the executioner who killed people but nodded.

"I will think about it."

Dr. Li said: "If you think about it, we can continue at any time."

After Dr. Li left, he stood at the stairs and had a phone call with Fu Yi, and then planned to talk to He Ying again.By now, he can almost be sure that what He Ying concealed from him is what happened to He Cheng, but has been forgotten by him.Moreover, the explosion in the State Guest Building was also related to He Cheng's inescapable relationship.

He had just walked out of the stairs when he saw He Cheng standing at the corner.

Holding a glass of water, He Cheng looked down at the slightly shaking ripples in the glass, and said calmly, "I asked Xiao Shu, and he said that female chefs have no sons, only daughters. There are two crystal balls on the display shelf in the banquet hall. It was sold a month ago."

Chu Xingyun moved slowly and stood beside him, with a deep 'hmm'.

He Cheng frowned, looked up at him, with innocent and puzzled eyes, and said, "But I really saw the back of a boy, and my own face."

The boy's back might be a picture in his vague memory, but what happened when he saw his own face?

"Did I remember wrongly?"

He Cheng looked at him with some anxiety, like a child who has done something wrong and is waiting for his parents to punish him.

Chu Xingyun turned around and stood in front of him, raised his left hand and pressed it against the wall beside his ear, stood lazily, then took the teacup in his hand away, took a sip of water, and said, "I didn't pressure you , You can’t put too much pressure on yourself.”

"But I remembered wrongly. Not only did I not help you, I also didn't remember why I passed out in the corridor outside the bathroom."

As he spoke, his brows tightened, his eyes wandered: "I seem to have seen that boy's back before."

What he is talking about now should be the vague memory that he once confessed to Dr. Li.

Chu Xingyun secretly squeezed the handle of the teacup, looked down at the slightly rippling water surface in the cup, and said calmly: "When?"

He Cheng folded his arms, looked up at the row of lights on the top, and thought for a while: "At that time, you hadn't come to my house, and I always had the same dream during that time. No. [-] Heping Avenue In the yard of the courtyard, downstairs from my bedroom, there is a swing, and there is a child sitting on the swing. He is sitting there swinging, but I have never seen his face. When you come next year, I will not do it again. that dream."

"Do you still want to have that dream again?"

Chu Xingyun still didn't look at him, and asked softly.

He Cheng's eyes flickered slightly, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "Are you telling the truth?"

"Ah."

"I don't want to. That dream was a nightmare for me. Although there was only a child's back in the dream, I felt very real fear and suffocation. I stood by the floor-to-ceiling window as if I was nailed. Finally, I could only look at the back of the child and wait for him to turn his head. In fact, I didn’t want to know who he was at all, I just wanted to escape from the dream—but the ones who woke me up in the end were all the ones who fell down The feeling of weightlessness, and the suffocation of being submerged in water."

He told the truth, because when Chu Xingyun saw his words, he clasped his arms tightly with both hands, and his fingertips were almost embedded in the flesh.

But He Cheng took a breath, and said again: "Maybe Dr. Li can remind me of that dream again."

As he said, he bent down and got out from under Chu Xingyun's arm propped on the wall, and walked to the office.

Chu Xingyun quickly grabbed his wrist: "Where are you going?"

He Cheng looked back at him, and said lightly, "Hypnosis."

Chu Xingyun frowned: "Come again?"

He Cheng said: "Of course, until I remember."

His words immediately made Chu Xingyun think of locking him in a dark, cold, lightless cage, and letting him be with the devil in his heart, until he remembered everything before he could get out of the cage.

Taking advantage of his distraction, He Cheng broke his hand away: "If you have something to do, go first, and I will find you when I'm done."

Hearing his tone, it seemed that he was ready to fight a lengthy tug-of-war, like a strong man who sacrificed his life for righteousness.

He walked in a hurry, Chu Xingyun had to take two steps to catch up with him, and then grabbed his wrist: "Wait——hey!"

Once He Cheng became determined, it would be difficult for eight horses to pull, and Chu Xingyun was also taken a step forward by him. He was still holding a teacup in his hand, and the hot water in the teacup immediately splashed out and spilled his hands.

Although the tea is not scalding hot, it is still enough to make people jump when it touches the surface of the skin.

Chu Xingyun was scalded by the water and almost threw the cup away, his wrists were shaking.

He Cheng hurriedly took the teacup from his hand and put it on the ground, then pulled his hand over to have a look, and saw that the back of his hand was red from the wrist, and was still steaming.

He Cheng pushed up his cuffs, took his hand and blew on the red back of his hand, with a look of anxiety in his eyes: "Why are you dragging me!"

This little pain and itching, Chu Xingyun didn't take it to heart at all, and other people wouldn't take it to heart, so He Cheng was the only one who was so nervous about him.As if he would die if he bumped into it.

Chu Xingyun raised his uninjured right hand and hooked it on his chin, and asked with a smile: "Do you love me?"

He Cheng glared at him, relying on his relatively cold body temperature all year round to cool down the back of his hand.

"Since you love me, then you will listen to me."

"Listen to you?"

"Don't torment yourself, go to the hospital with me."

"Go to the hospital?"

"Well, look at that little girl you took as a little boy. Since you have heard her voice, she should have seen you too."

The little girl was seriously injured and was transferred to the Children's Hospital for treatment. On the way to take He Cheng to the Children's Hospital, Chu Xingyun carefully observed him, and saw him looking out the window thoughtfully all the way, with a calm expression.

When he arrived at the hospital, he went to the nurse's station and said the girl's name, and the nurse gave him a ward number.

At the door of the ward, He Cheng suddenly stopped.

Chu Xingyun asked him: "What's wrong?"

For some reason, he was a little nervous.

He Cheng looked at him with his eyes motionless, as if drawing strength from his eyes, and after about half a minute, he said, "It's okay."

Chu Xingyun frowned, looked at him worriedly, and was about to say something when he suddenly saw the door of the ward opened from the inside.

The girl's mother, that is, the female chef who prepared the pastry for the banquet that night, stood at the door, looked at them vigilantly, and asked, "Who are you?"

Chu Xingyun took out his ID, said the girl's name, and asked, "Are you her mother?"

The girl's mother looked at his ID and looked a little surprised: "I just put down my phone, how did you come here so fast?"

Chu Xingyun was silent for a while, and asked: "Who is coming?"

"Aren't you the police?"

"Yes, you called the police just now?"

"Yes."

"why?"

The girl's mother looked at them again suspiciously, then took out something from her pocket and handed it to Chu Xingyun: "Since you are a policeman, it's the same for everyone."

As soon as she took it out, Chu Xingyun saw that it was still a small boat made of white paper.

He took the paper boat over, the folds of his eyes trembled, and the paper boat almost burned under his gaze.

"Where did it come from?"

The girl's mother folded her arms, with the panic and fear that had not completely faded away in her eyes, and said: "I was preparing a cake in the kitchen last night, and my daughter ran in suddenly and handed me this paper boat, saying that it was an uncle. For her, she also wanted to pull me out of the kitchen, saying that the uncle told her to let her go, or we would all die there. I didn't take it seriously, I thought it was a child messing around, so I pulled her out of the kitchen It was kicked out. Who knew it would actually explode later."

Paper boats, paper boats again, the one who gave the paper boats to the girl was the one who dropped the bomb.In other words, the girl had seen this man's face.

"May I go in and see your daughter?"

Although it was an inquiry, Chu Xingyun's eyes were firm and powerful, not allowing her to object.

She had to make way: "Okay, but you can't ask her too many questions to affect her rest."

Chu Xingyun nodded, pushed open the door and walked in.

On the hospital bed, a seven or eight-year-old girl was leaning against the head of the bed. On the small table in front of her was a tablet playing cartoons.

The girl hurt her arm, her thin right arm was covered with gauze, her forehead and chin were scratched, her eyes were red, and she looked like she had just cried.Although she was watching cartoons at this time, the pain from her wound still prevented her from concentrating, so she stared listlessly at the picture in the video, and when she saw someone coming in, she looked towards him.

Chu Xingyun doesn't know how to deal with children, so he stopped at the end of her bed, directly raised the paper boat in his hand, and said with a gentle smile: "Little sister, who gave you this paper boat?"

The big explosion last night left a shadow on the girl's psychology to some extent. She glanced timidly at the paper boat in Chu Xingyun's hand, and then seemed to be scolded by someone. She didn't dare to look any more, and shrank back to her mother. In his arms, he began to sob again.

The girl's mother wanted the police to leave as soon as possible, so she comforted her daughter in a low voice and asked him to answer the police's questions.

In the end, the girl said timidly like a mosquito, "It's an uncle."

Chu Xingyun sat by the bed, trying to get closer to her, and his tone became softer: "What else did he do besides giving you this paper boat?"

"He also told me to go back to my mother and ask my mother to take me away, otherwise he would kill us."

The girl was still young and didn't understand the meaning of life and death, but her words were flat, sobbing and hid in her mother's arms to speak out the threats she had received.

Chu Xingyun was speechless for a while, and fell into deep thought. He didn't think that the person who bombed the State Guest House would suddenly be kind and let a girl go. 'He' asked the girl to find her mother, mostly because he thought that a child's words would not attract the attention of adults.Then there is only one possibility left, the girl accidentally bumped into 'him' on the second floor, and then 'he' used the girl as a condiment before the explosion, sending her a dangerous signal, admiring her thin figure and panicking At a loss, she asked for help everywhere, but no one took her words seriously.Then when the time comes, detonate the banquet hall and watch those people run for their lives like ants washed out of their caves by a flood.

'He' left the paper boat just to represent his own identity.Giving a little girl the chance to ask for help is to show off her abilities. 'He' is megalomaniac, ruthless, showmanlike and hungry for attention.Perhaps it was not a coincidence that he chose to hold the annual conference of entrepreneurs last night. The people attending the banquet were either rich or noble, representing almost all the political power and wealth power in Yinjiang City, and what 'he' wanted to do was to make Yinjiang The politicians and businessmen in the city are uprooted, as if they are taking revenge on society.

Yes, this person has an out-and-out sociopathic personality.

Chu Xingyun suddenly approached the little girl, bent down and smiled at her: "Little sister, you still remember what the person who gave the paper boat looked like, right?"

The little girl nodded slightly.

"An uncle who can draw will come to see you later. Can you tell uncle what he looks like?"

The little girl was about to nod, when her eyes suddenly shifted, she froze immediately, as if frightened, she desperately crawled into her mother's arms, crying loudly, her legs were still moving desperately.

The girl's mother was taken aback and asked her what was wrong.

She hid her face in her mother's arms, her eyes were still looking behind Chu Xingyun from time to time, crying and saying, "It's him, it's him!"

The girl was looking in the direction of the door of the ward, Chu Xingyun hurriedly looked back, his scalp went numb, and his brain exploded with a bang.

He Cheng stood expressionlessly at the door of the ward, looking at them with calm and cold eyes.
