Chapter 92 – Discernment 6. Never sleep

As the sun was setting, Officer Clark saw Dai Bowen coming alone, and was a little puzzled about where the other two had gone.

In fact, Shen Xiuyuan was handling some year-end work in the apartment, and contacted lawyers and detectives by the way; Erwin continued to explore Matthew's computer at Meera's house, and kept the video of the boy's room by the way.However, Dai Bowen didn't mention a word, he only said that the person he wanted to ask was a child, and the sense of oppression was too strong with two big men.

Clark didn't ask too much, anyway, these people who have been cooperating with various agencies all the year round have their own working methods.

Like the night before, Dai Bowen used his notebook to ask questions and record.Because it is an ordinary questioning of minors, he does not use a camera, and the questioning is not oppressive.

But compared to the previous night, Dai Bowen had one more targeted question.

"A 'cool' site?"

The redhead twitched his fingers nervously.He looked at Dai Bowen, then looked down at his fingers, and pursed his lips again and again.With an encouraging smile on his face, Dai Bowen looked at him quietly, waiting for the answer.

This is the most timid of all the boys, but if Matthew had ever preached on "cool websites," this red-haired boy would be the one.After all, Patrick is not interested in these things, and Matthew is likely to find balance from "the weakest".

And Dai Bowen remembered that when he watched the interrogation video of "False Kidnapping" last time, this little guy was also the most unstable one.

The boy's father sat beside him and patted him on the shoulder: "Be brave like a man, son!"

The red-haired boy glanced at his father, then lowered his head and thought for two seconds, then looked up at Dai Bowen and said, "He did tell me once, but I don't know..."

His voice gradually decreased, and Dai Bowen slowly induced: "Then?"

The boy stood up: "Wait a moment."

After he finished speaking, he walked into the depths of the room. It sounded like there was still a sound of going upstairs. He probably went back to the room to find something.The boy's mother took advantage of this gap to ask the guests if they wanted some tea. Both Dai Bowen and Officer Clark said no, but the boy's father asked her to pour a glass of soda instead.

Dai Bowen turned his eyes from the leaving woman back to the boy's father, secretly approving the decision to appoint the "accompanying representative" for this family.The red-haired boy is cowardly by nature, and his strong father can give him a sense of security and set an example of "how to be a man" for him when he encounters a series of situations where he needs to face the police officer.

The red-haired boy came back soon, and he stuffed a note into Dai Bowen's hand: "This is the name of the website that Matthew gave me."

Dai Bowen glanced at it briefly, and then put the note directly into his pocket: "Okay, thank you, dear. Have you seen this website?"

The boy moved his shoulders uncomfortably: "...No."

Dai Bowen narrowed his eyes slightly, and the words in his heart rolled around his mouth, and finally became: "Excuse me."

He stood up, walked to the entrance, took out the note in his pocket, took a photo for Erwin, and then directly dialed the phone: "Erwin, are you still in front of Matthew's computer?"

Erwin was actually playing with his laptop, but he tiptoed and turned to Matthew's computer: "Yes, what?...Okay, I see, I'll get back to you right away."

Erwin hung up the phone, immediately opened the received picture, and typed the letters on the note into the address bar: "'World', 'become'...'boring', all right."

Press Enter, and a website pops up immediately.Erwin didn't even need to look carefully, his professional sensitivity made him instantly understand what this place was: "Ah oh..."

Within 1 minute, Dai Bowen's mobile phone received a reply.He frowned, then his expression returned to calm, and he walked back to the living room.

"I have a small suggestion..." Dai Bowen pondered for a while, then said to the father and son who were sitting on the sofa, "Can you let me and my little brother be alone for a few minutes?"

The boy's father asked, "Why?"

Dai Bowen didn't answer him directly, but asked: "We just stand a little farther away, so that you can see it, okay?"

The boy's father thought for a while, then turned to the red-haired child, "What do you think?"

So, Dai Bowen and the red-haired boy walked to the end of the corridor and in front of the stairs.The boy's father and Officer Clark were still sitting on the sofa, but when they turned their heads and leaned slightly, they could see the two of them here.

"Okay, honey, to make a long story short." Dai Bowen whispered, "I hope you will take my advice - go to see a psychiatrist, okay?"

The boy knew that the website on the note had been exposed, and so had his lie, so he pursed his lips and lowered his head.

"I'm not blaming you, brother, I want to thank you for helping me." Dai Bowen bowed slightly, keeping his eye level with the boy, "It's a pity that this happened to you, but for your own sake, How about talking to a psychiatrist about this for your parents' sake?"

The boy whispered: "I don't want them to know about this..."

"They won't know, this is our secret." Dai Bowen said, "Don't worry, I don't think there is anything wrong with you. We just need a more professional person to help us confirm this conclusion and help us You forget all that."

The boy nodded slightly.

"Being brave enough to face it makes you look like a man." Dai Bowen smiled, "Now let's deal with this matter like this: I will help you convince your parents to prevent them from getting suspicious and let them take you to see a psychiatrist; Then you talk to the psychiatrist about what happened to you recently, okay?"

The boy replied, "Okay."

Dai Bowen finally straightened up and patted him: "Come on."

They walked back to the living room, Dai Bowen stopped the boy's father, stood in the corner and said a few words.The boy's father turned to look at his son, then at the female police officer, and finally nodded.

Dai Bowen and Officer Clark walked out of the house.

"I think you should give me that note," said the female police officer.

"It's not even considered evidence." Dai Bowen replied, but still took out the note and handed it to Clark, "But it may help you do a good deed."

"'The world is getting boring'?" Clark looked at the words on the note. "What does it represent?"

"Nothing." Dai Bowen shrugged, "or everything."

"I'll check it out." The female police officer said, opening the car door, "Let's go to the last one."

Dai Bowen got into the car naturally, he just came out by himself today, there is no need to use Shen Xiuyuan's car.Since you are traveling with a female police officer, let's rub her car for a while.

He fastened his seat belt, then took out his phone, and clicked on the message Erwin sent again not long ago.

"You know what, we're in the right place. Matthew has an account on this suicide site."

"I have a feeling this site will be shut down soon."

The mouse scrolls, and the pages of the website scroll across the screen.The row-by-row headlines make it look like a news website at first glance, but on closer inspection, it turns out that they are all extremely negative "stories".Click in, and you will see bloody pictures that are usually mosaiced.

"The layout is messy, the colors are crazy, and the homepage alone is annoying, but this is not the most terrible place." Erwin moved his fingers, "I have deciphered Matthew's passwords in various software before, and Like any ordinary person, he also uses three sets back and forth. Then one of them can enter the forum of this website."

Erwin clicked on the forum.

"'Never fall asleep'..." Dai Bowen propped one hand on the edge of the table, his gaze swept across the screen, "This is really bad news for a psychiatrist."

"To you too." Erwin glanced at him, "This looks like a communication base for teenagers, but in fact, it is full of negative language attacks, violent publicity and shocks, and some people are taking advantage of teenagers' fragility, ignorance and pursuit of excitement , using various language techniques to induce them to self-mutilate and commit suicide. The name of the forum is 'Never Sleep', but it actually encourages young people to 'Sleep Forever'."

"Creating a suicide environment..." Dai Bowen narrowed his eyes, "This is equivalent to murder."

"Yes, so this will definitely attract a ban from the police, especially after you hand in the note. We have to speed up." Erwin replied, and then moved the mouse to the account information, "Matthew's account is only registered more than a month, but his membership level is high."

"Rely on what?"

"Promoting his 'self-kidnapping'." Erwin shrugged, clicked on the account and found Matthew's post, "A lot of exaggerated plots have been added, but the photos of the scene and the police's handling opinions have become a 'switch to be believed' .”

"Once people start to believe something, it's hard for them to wake up again, which is why scammers can cheat more and more from a person." Dai Bowen said, "What do the comments below say?"

Erwin switched the page number of the post at will, and replied: "It's all negative, either mocking him for being too timid to come to the truth, or telling him how to self-mutilate to be more professional... and accusing the bloody pictures in it as fake .”

"Negative language attacks from various angles, no matter how strong a person is, may be defeated. Matthew will give the website to his most timid friends, which shows that he has indeed been infected by negative emotions." Dai Bowen's mind The look of the red-haired boy flashed past, "Poor little guy, he must have seen these things too."

Erwin said: "But if his level is not high enough, he may not be as deep as Matthew."

"What is this?" Dai Bowen suddenly pointed to the screen and said, "This person seems to be of a high level, and the sentence patterns he uses... are directional."

"'You should try a more advanced task'..." Erwin replied, "I didn't notice this sentence before, but this account is familiar. He is the administrator of the sub-forum, and there is a pinned post that he posted of."

Erwin moved his finger, searched for the post and clicked in.

"I wanted you to see this before, maybe it can tell us about Matthew's whereabouts."

Dai Bowen looked at the penultimate floor of this post, and pointed to the screen: "'Mission No. 121, executor'...is this Matthew's ID?"

Under suicide mission No. 121, two execution IDs were marked, as well as the time, place and means of the mission.It has a fixed format and is written in great detail, even posting information on where to buy some props, maps, field photos, etc.

Dai Bowen's finger slid to another one next to Matthew's ID: "Who is this?"

"I don't know, I can't find the post under this ID, and I can't use the search function of the forum to find this user." Erwin said, "This is a double suicide mission. I only know that Matthew's partner is behind it, but A fake ID is pointless, isn't it?"

"Shen Xiuyuan and the police have already gone deep into this forum, let professional people do professional things." Dai Bowen patted him on the shoulder, "Try to back up this forum, and then we have to follow the clues of this mission to find someone gone."

"I can't make a mirror image in a short time. I have saved as many screenshots as possible of the information related to Matthew's account..." Erwin turned around and pulled out a piece of paper from the folder next to him. It's printed."

Dai Bowen took the paper from his hand: "Good boy, if I were your professor, I would give you ten points."

"Hey, I don't think they followed that."

"Me too." Dai Bowen looked at the piece of paper, "but you only need to change the last step, and you can show off and live and enjoy again, don't you?"

"You mean he did all the previous parts?"

"It's not 'he', it's 'them'."

"But we still don't know whether that ID actually exists..." Erwin paused suddenly, "Oh, God...it's Katrin!"

If the fake ID is for Katrin, then as long as Katrin's home, Matthew's home, and destination are cross-referenced, it is likely to find the traces of these two young people.Moreover, the preparation process marked on the task was divided into detailed steps. If the two young people followed suit, they might have posted it on social networking sites to show off.

"Boldly guess, carefully test, you look for the latest bragging posts to see if there is any one that fits the description of this task." Dai Bowen took out his mobile phone, "As for monitoring... Leave it to the supernatural police uncles."
