I caught the murderer

While looking at the case, Qin Qianlan walked briskly, bumping into someone inadvertently.

"sorry Sorry……"

Before Qin Qianlan could speak, the man who was bumped apologized first, and she raised her head, facing a simple and honest face.

The man looked about 40 years old, tall and thin with hunched shoulders, like a long and bent bamboo pole. His clothes were a bit worn out, and there was a lot of dust and paint on him.

Seeing Qin Qianlan looking at him, the man was very embarrassed, he took two steps back silently: "It's not dirty, is it?"

Qin Qianlan reflexively said "No", the man smiled apologetically at her, and then hurried away.

There are still people with such a good temper these days.

Qin Qianlan sighed, and then realized that she had arrived at B[-], Sun Jia's ward.

But she didn't push the door to go in, she just stood at the door and observed the situation inside.

Sun Jia had already woken up at this moment, and was leaning against the head of the bed staring blankly at the window. She was thin and pale, and the plain hospital gown looked empty on her body.

She doesn't look like an [-]-year-old child in terms of figure or expression.

Jiang Jun was sitting beside Sun Jia's bed, patiently peeling an orange for her. At this time, Jiang Jun, a taciturn man, became the only one who could get close to Sun Jia.

Qin Qianlan sighed, Sun Jia's only relatives were grandparents, uncles and aunts, but these two families made various excuses on the phone, obviously they had no intention of taking care of Sun Jia.

Especially Sun Jia's grandfather, after hearing that the survivor was his granddaughter, he hung up the phone with a "snap".

"Why are you sighing here?"

Someone patted Qin Qianlan on the shoulder, and she subconsciously wanted to throw the person over her shoulder, but the person swiftly dodged it.

"What did I say?" Shen Zheng smiled and said to Pei Yuzhou who was beside him, "Everyone in our group is very violent."

Pei Yuzhou shook his head: "Don't take me, I'm a civil servant."

Shen Zheng was taken aback, this seemed to be the first time that the other party took the initiative to put him in the special case team, but before he could express his emotions, Qin Qianlan had already pushed the two of them aside: "Don't scare the child."

Sun Jia is very fragile now, and the appearance of strangers can easily make her cry.

After making sure that Sun Jia would not see it, Qin Qianlan asked, "Why are you here? Didn't you go to visit the scene?"

She and Jiang Jun came here after reading the relevant information on the first poisoning case. After all, this case had already been taken over by someone before, and it was sorted out much faster than the second case of dismemberment.

"The questioning is over." Shen Zheng shook the notebook in his hand, "With Yu Zhou here, the questioning will not be too smooth."

Qin Qianlan didn't even notice his ostentatious appearance, and directly passed the case to Pei Yuzhou: "The murderer didn't hurt Sun Jia, but..."

"But there are still many scars on her body?" Pei Yuzhou continued.

"That's right, most of them are bruises and redness of varying degrees, as if they were whipped with sticks and leather whips," Qin Qianlan gritted her teeth, "There are also quite a few burns, which look like they were burned by cigarettes."

Whether those scars are new or old, it seems that they cannot be caused in a short period of time.

"Eight out of ten that can cause this kind of harm is school bullying or domestic violence."

"It should be domestic violence. Some people have provided clues," Shen Zheng said, "but further confirmation is needed."

Pei Yuzhou pointed to the ward: "Did she not say anything?"

Now Sun Jia is the only one who has seen the murderer, as long as she speaks out the characteristics of the murderer, they will save a lot of time.

You must know that investigating the relationship networks involved in these two cases is not an easy task.

"No, except Brother Jiang, she is even afraid of nurses." Qin Qianlan was also very helpless, but she couldn't force Sun Jia to say, "The doctor said that it might be the heightened alertness caused by PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder). "

"But it's quiet now, but I think the situation is not as good as when it was crying."

It's like being frightened and stupid with a slow reaction.

Pei Yuzhou said: "I'll go in and try first. If she doesn't reject me, you and Brother Jiang can go back and rest first."

Spending a day with a traumatized child can be exhausting.

"That's right," Shen Zheng also agreed, "Xinyao and Ji Jie are already at the police station, let them work overtime today, and let them rest tomorrow."

The police are human too, no matter how big the case is, it is impossible for a group of people to stay up all night every day, and the right way is to work in shifts.

And today, Jiang Jun's precious daughter had a hard time not making up lessons, and Shen Zheng didn't want to leave her in the hospital, otherwise he wouldn't have deliberately brought Pei Yuzhou to change shifts.

Qin Qianlan obviously thought of this too, not to mention that Pei Yuzhou was a psychiatrist, and it might be better to have him guarding Sun Jia.

On the other hand, Pei Yuzhou had already pushed open the false door of the ward and walked in. Qin Qianlan was about to grab him, but found that Sun Jia didn't respond to this "outsider".

Even though Pei Yuzhou was already sitting on the chair beside her bed, she just looked out of the window with eyes as dull as a pool of stagnant water.

Pei Yuzhou waved for Shen Zheng to come in, and then asked Jiang Jun and Qin Qianlan to get off work first.

This series of actions didn't attract Sun Jia's attention, only when Jiang Jun got up to leave, she looked back, but she still didn't speak.

Jiang Jun hesitated whether to leave, but was still kicked out by Shen Zheng.

He believed that Pei Yuzhou must have a way to get the little girl to speak.

But people just couldn't set the flag, there was no sound in the ward for an entire hour, Shen Zheng didn't even have a chance to stare at these two people.

Because Sun Jia lay down and closed his eyes, while Pei Yuzhou kept staring out of the window.

"I know why you didn't respond," Pei Yuzhou finally said when Shen Zheng No. 30 flipped through his notes, "Because you don't want him to be caught, and you are also afraid that you will be caught by him."

Sun Jia acted as if she hadn't heard, and kept silent with her eyes closed.

Pei Yuzhou didn't care, he just reached out and picked up the peeled orange.

It was peeled by Jiang Jun for Sun Jia, and since no one ate it, the orange was slightly wrinkled.

Sun Jia immediately noticed Pei Yuzhou's movements. She opened her eyes, and her eyes fell on the orange involuntarily.

"You like this Uncle Jiang very much, don't you?" Pei Yuzhou broke open the orange and ate a piece, "But if he knows that you lied to him, do you think he will treat you so well?"

The malice in his tone was obviously about to overflow, and it didn't look like he was treating a child who had just experienced great pain.

Sun Jia still didn't speak, but her hands trembled slightly.

"You must want to say that you are not lying. After all, your crying is so real. Who would believe that you are not afraid?"

Pei Yuzhou laughed suddenly, his peach blossom eyes were full of sarcasm: "But I know, because I know how you usually cry."

"Thin, like a cat, no matter how painful or frightening it is, it doesn't dare to cry out loud."

"This habit caused by long-term oppression cannot be easily changed even if the perpetrator dies. Why did you change?"

This was undoubtedly uncovering the scar that Sun Jia wanted to hide the most. The girl's eyes were suddenly filled with fear, which made Shen Zheng feel a little blocked.

But Pei Yuzhou continued: "Don't pretend, I know you're smart, PTSD, a perfect excuse."

"Post-traumatic stress disorder, a mental disorder that results after experiencing, witnessing, or encountering one or more actual deaths involving self or others."

"There are three core symptoms, traumatic re-experiencing, avoidance and numbness, and increased alertness. Except for the first symptom that requires long-term observation, you are doing perfectly."

"As long as you are diagnosed with PTSD, no one can force you to say anything, and you can even say that you have forgotten, because selective amnesia is also one of the clinical manifestations of this disease."

Pei Yuzhou clapped his hands appreciatively: "It's hard to imagine that an [-]-year-old kid can do this, even fooling the doctors in the hospital."

"Maybe he taught you this?"

Sun Jia's trembling hands stopped, and she no longer saw fear, only indifference: "You are not a policeman."

Her voice was soft and thin, and a little hoarse, which should have been caused by too much crying just now.

"Wrong, I'm a policeman," Pei Yuzhou shook his finger, "but I'm still a psychiatrist."

"The person who taught you is a half bucket of water. Surely he didn't tell you that children will have special performances in the three symptoms of PTSD?"

Repeatedly mentioning her age seemed to hit the point that Sun Jia cared about the most. She got up and sat up directly from the bed: "I'm not a child."

Pei Yuzhou approached Sun Jia: "Unfortunately, no matter how you look at it, you are just a child,"

"You must know that children's avoidance and numbness reaction is not literal, but the opposite..." Pei Yuzhou stared at Sun Jia's eyes and paused word by word, "Pass, pass, rely, rely."

"So if you really like that Uncle Jiang just now, you won't let him go."

"Or do you not like that Uncle Jiang at all?" Pei Yuzhou lifted the orange above the trash can, "Then take my guess wrong."

The moment the orange fell, Sun Jia caught it quickly and accurately, and even touched the infusion needle on the back of her hand because of too much movement, and the bright red blood slowly flowed back down the thin infusion tube.

Shen Zheng hurriedly pressed Sun Jia, and lowered his head to adjust the needle.

He controlled his strength very well, but Shen Zheng still felt the people under him tremble slightly, and his shoulders were as thin as if there was only one bone left.

Rationally, he knew that Pei Yuzhou was right, but emotionally he was soft-hearted towards Sun Jia.

Shen Zheng, team leader Shen, can be ruthless and rational to any suspect at work, and is a role model for the entire B city police department to learn from.

But except for kids.

His and Pei Yuzhou's styles seemed to be reversed, the gentle was no longer gentle, and the direct was no longer direct.

Shen Zheng looked at Pei Yuzhou, there was nothing but indifference in those eyes that made his heart flutter.

Pei Yuzhou's thin lips parted lightly: "Go out."

"Don't get in the way here."
