Chapter 36: When It’s Cold, Cover Yourself with More Dirt
“33 hours, is that the time you calculated?”
“We never found the person who called the police. I think you made those calls, right?”
“You did all of this to make the police suspicious, to make them think the killer was someone else, and to make the primary personality seem innocent. No, your primary personality is indeed innocent. He doesn’t even know about this case; it’s your alternate personality that did it.”
“The lie detector couldn’t detect anything, thinking he was telling the truth. Plus, the timing didn’t match up, which confirmed his innocence.”
Xiao Yu sighed, “I have to admit, well calculated!”
“Since it’s so perfect.”
He Xiao’s face, full of resentment, showed confusion, “How did you figure it out?”
“Adding unnecessary details!”
Xiao Yu sneered, “You shouldn’t have left your fingerprints on those tools. I know your goal was to make the police think the killer was mocking and provoking them…”
“What’s wrong with that?”
He Xiao frowned, his eyes cold, “That’s not enough reason for you to suspect me.”
“Yeah, normally people would think the killer is provoking them, and you succeeded.”
Thinking back on the anger of the task force members, Xiao Yu smiled, “Someone who can drill holes and unlock doors, clean the rooftop in the dead of winter, how could such a person leave such obvious clues, like fingerprints… is that scientific?”
“That’s not a reason.” He Xiao shook his head.
“Not enough?”
Xiao Yu’s gaze moved to He Xiao’s hands, “And your hands.”
“My hands?”
He Xiao looked down in shock, staring at his handcuffed hands.
“They’re too steady.”
Xiao Yu’s expression changed, “Because of your hands, I thought of that multiple personality murder case. The suspect with multiple personalities had similar hands. And those hands only started trembling after the alternate personality committed the crime and was discovered…”
This is a very strange phenomenon, only seen in people with multiple personalities.
According to investigations, people with multiple personality disorder, each personality comes with its own habits.
This habit is like the central nervous system of the human body, strengthening the nerves to a certain part of the body.
For instance, He Xiao’s hands are very steady.
When a normal person raises a hand and spreads their fingers, the fingers would involuntarily tremble and shake.
But a patient with multiple personalities can keep their fingers still. It’s very magical.
Xiao Yu remembered a scholar in the medical field from his previous life who published a paper.
Most patients with multiple personality disorder have a primary personality with a pair of steady hands.
When a person spreads their hand and extends their fingers.
The fingers do not shake or tremble.
Be careful…
“So that’s how it is.”
He Xiao’s cold face showed a look of realization. He moved his gaze from his palms to Xiao Yu, smiling eerily, “So what if you guessed it. This is just your deduction, not evidence!”
In the age of law, what’s the use of deduction without evidence?
No evidence, no talk!
Quick-thinking, quickly coming up with a countermeasure… Xiao Yu’s expression was complex.
Not everyone is qualified to get this disease.
Most people with a certain personality are very smart, with a high IQ.
So, what shuts up criminals is always evidence, not arguments!
“Evidence?”
Xiao Yu shook his head, “To determine that you committed the massacre, the existing evidence is enough.”
“What do you mean?” He Xiao was stunned.
Suddenly, his expression changed drastically.
When he committed the crime, all evidence pointed to him.
He also deliberately left some ‘unreasonable’ places, making the police think he was innocent, thinking there was another killer.
However, once he was identified as the killer, no more evidence was needed.
The existing evidence was enough.
Outsmarted oneself!
“Do you know, you shouldn’t have appeared.”
Xiao Yu sneered, “Once you appeared, it was all over!”
Yes, if He Xiao’s other personality had never appeared.
Xiao Yu’s deduction couldn’t be confirmed, it would just be suspicion.
The primary personality is indeed innocent, the lie detector is also proof.
Even if the police had sufficient evidence, it would be hard to convict him.
But this self-righteous personality jumped out himself.
He dug his own grave, who can he blame!
“So what?”
After figuring it out, He Xiao was both terrified and angry, “At most, I’ll be locked up, but I won’t die.”
Mental illness doesn’t get the death penalty, that’s his greatest reliance!
“I’ve seen people with bound feet, but never bound brains.”
Xiao Yu laughed, “Do you think death is the most terrifying thing?”
“Is there anything more terrifying than death?” He Xiao sneered.
“Do you know what it means to live worse than death?”
Xiao Yu sneered, “Locked in a small room every day, tied to a hospital bed, forcibly injected, taking medicine, treated, never seeing the light of day. That kind of state would drive good people crazy. How many can endure that kind of physical and mental suffering? At that time, you might want to commit suicide, but unfortunately, you won’t have the chance. This kind of life will accompany you for a lifetime, until… natural death!”
“…”
He Xiao’s face turned pale, his scalp tingling, and his hair stood on end.
Just thinking about that scene made him shiver.
It would be better to be executed by a firing squad, less suffering…
“What goes around comes around.”
Xiao Yu stood up, looking at the bloodless He Xiao, “Who can the heavens spare?”
Remember in your next life.
When it’s cold, cover yourself with more dirt, and don’t wander around!
