From easy to difficult, then repeated multiple times…<\/p>

This was the learning method mankind had mastered over the course of its evolution. Endurance was also a part of learning.<\/p>

\u201cWhat? You mean, Yu Yan Qing did all this to overcome her fear of death?\u201d<\/p>

Fu Hao came in early with breakfast, and putting down the milk and bread, overheard these important words from Xing Cong Lian.<\/p>

\u201cHave you ever heard of systematic desensitization?\u201d the captain asked smugly, quite proud of himself.<\/p>

Fu Hao quickly put down the bag he was carrying and crowded Lin Chen, \u201cSystematic desensitization?\u201d<\/p>

Cong Lian wasn\u2019t angry at being ignored. Instead, he gave Fu Hao an explanation: \u201cYes, Yu Yan Qing should\u2019ve used this to confront her fear of death…\u201d<\/p>

\u201cYou shut up.\u201d Fu Hao directly interrupted him and turned to Lin Chen, \u201cBrother, what\u2019s going on?\u201d<\/p>

\u201cIn all these cases, the intentions were related to death and presenting a growing sense of fear, which we determined early on.\u201d Lin Chen coughed a little and continued, but not as relaxed as Cong Lian, \u201cBut we\u2019ve been missing the clue that puts things together, and it was Xiao Pang who gave this clue to us.\u201d Lin Chen looked at the child sitting on a bench, playing with his fingers, \u201cJudging from the process, Yu Yan Qing probably used systematic desensitization to over her fear. The whole process should be divided into four steps. First, she got close to corpses, imagined her death, and did the relaxation training to adapt, and gradually closed the distance. This is why there were traces of someone sleeping under the stretchers in the morgue, and with the corpse who was dressed neatly, it shows a kind of respect for death.\u201d Lin Chen paused, pondering, \u201cShe then watched a brutal murder, observing people\u2019s reactions to death, then personally killed someone. Watching the person die by her hands, she adapted to the process of someone losing their life. This was the motive behind the murder at the\u00a0 park.\u201d<\/p>

Fu Hao felt colder the more he listened. His lips stiffened and trembled, \u201cThen finally, suicide?\u201d<\/p>

\u201cSuicide.\u201d<\/p>

Fu Hao inhaled and both his cheeks and teeth went cold.<\/p>

\u201cSo, we\u2019ve solved the case?\u201d He asked, trembling.<\/p>

Yu Yan Qing killed people, wrote a suicide note, then killed herself. It was perfect.<\/p>

Lin Chen sat on a wooden bench and tapped his fingers on his cup, seemingly unaware of the movement. It appeared as if he didn\u2019t hear Fu Hao\u2019s question.<\/p>

\u201cIt\u2019s not impossible to write a closing report.\u201d Xing Cong Lian rubbed his fluffy beard with his palm then paused, \u201cBut I still feel there\u2019s something missing.\u201d<\/p>

It was like being in a terrible fog, then finally escaping, only to encounter a tall wall.<\/p>

A mighty wall, towering and domineering.<\/p>

It was okay to leave things at this, but it didn’t feel like enough.<\/p>

\u201cI\u2019d like to have another look at Yu Yan Qing\u2019s information.\u201d Lin Chen stopped tapping on the cup.<\/p>

About half an hour later, a chatty, young technician stood in front of their door, notebook in hand.<\/p>

He wore a black cap, water still dripping from the edges, his eyes bright. Upon seeing Cong Lian, he said with an aggrieved tone, \u201cIt\u2019s the godly typhoon, ah! It was easy to catch a cab.\u201d<\/p>

Cong Lian bit the cigarette in his mouth and gestured for him to sit and get to work.<\/p>

Wang Chao chose a seat close to Lin Chen and said, \u201cMr. Lin, if you don\u2019t know how to play LoL, I can teach you.\u201d<\/p>

Cong Lian swatted the back of his head and said, \u201cQuick, pull up Yu Yan Qing\u2019s information.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cI\u2019m telling you, you\u2019re using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.\u201d Wang Chao\u2019s fingers flew across the keyboard, and a moment later, the woman\u2019s personal information was displayed, \u201cThese things you\u2019re telling me to do, even Xiao Long Bao over there could do.\u201d He put the mouse in Lin Chen\u2019s hand and leaned back in the chair.<\/p>

Yu Yan Qing\u2019s information was detailed. From where she lived in her childhood, to the primary school she attended, and even the recent record of her medical insurance.<\/p>

Lin Chen\u2019s reading speed was fast. It took less than five minutes to finish everything.<\/p>

Letting go of the mouse, he reflexively pressed on his eyelids.<\/p>

Cong Lian went over and asked, \u201cFinished?\u201d<\/p>

\u201cYeah.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cWhat\u2019s the problem?\u201d<\/p>

\u201cThat there is no problem.\u201d<\/p>

Yu Yan Qing was a very ordinary girl.<\/p>

Born in a small town at the border, she went out to work after nine years of compulsory schooling. She worked as a waitress and a factory worker. She later joined \u300cGood Home\u300dlabor company and worked as a gardener at the city\u2019s Third Primary School. To make extra money, she worked as a part-time cleaner at the hospital on weekends. Her resume was straightforward, like millions of other girls her age. The only difference was she chose the cruelest method to end hers and the lives of others at such a young age.<\/p>

This means there had to be someone, or an important event, that pushed her out of her flat life.<\/p>

However, Lin Chen couldn\u2019t see such a thing in her profile.<\/p>

After thinking for a long time, Lin Chen spoke again, \u201cAre her parents still alive?\u201d<\/p>

\u201cYes.\u201d Wang Chao nodded.<\/p>

\u201cWhen she was very young, were there any elders who passed away?\u201d<\/p>

\u201cYeah.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cThat\u2019s strange.\u201d<\/p>

Yu Yan Qing\u2019s life was simple, and her parents were both alive. What did she experience that made her so persistent on death?<\/p>

\u201cIs it possible something happened at the hospital?\u201d<\/p>

Xing Cong Lian asked, unusually mysterious.<\/p>

…<\/p>

The hospital was the start of all of this.<\/p>

When Lin Chen got out of the car, an ambulance was parked beside him.<\/p>

When its door slid open, a medic got out with the stretcher, and there was already another one waiting by the hospital\u2019s entrance. On the stretcher was an elderly of about 70 years old, followed by his pair of son and daughter crying with swollen eyes. Lin Chen passed them and heard them cry for their mother.<\/p>

Pushing the door open, Lin Chen looked back at the pair of middle-aged siblings.<\/p>

\u201cWhat is it?\u201d<\/p>

\u201cAs a matter of fact, each and every one of us has such an experience. However, normal people only feel sad and pained when witnessing the departure of their loved ones. This doesn\u2019t typically produce the fear of death by itself.\u201d<\/p>

Xing Cong Lian rubbed his beard, hand on the glass door.<\/p>

A few moments after, Lin Chen looked up, and his expression turned cold quickly, \u201cThe first time I received a letter from her was on July 13th<\/sup> and then once every two weeks. The dressed corpse was found on September 7th<\/sup>.\u201d Lin Chen turned to Cong Lian and continued, \u201cYou need to find out how many patients passed away in this hospital and how many were on the floor Yu Yan Qing worked at. Everyone who was in close contact with her as well.\u201d<\/p>

Cong Lian nodded and started to move towards the security department to inquire before hearing Lin Chen\u2019s voice behind him after taking only two steps, \u201cThe day should be a Wednesday, and the patient might be on the seventh floor or in the seventh building.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cWhy is that?\u201d<\/p>

Cong Lian immediately felt like an idiot. Both the 13th of July and September 7th fell on Wednesday\u2019s. She wrote letters to Lin Chen once every two weeks and even the time between the discovery of those dressed-up corpses was seven days.<\/p>

They thought this was a condition set by the murderer themselves, but now, it looks like it might have deeper meaning.<\/p>

After Cong Lian left, Fu Hao went over and stood next to Lin Chen. He changed his expression from that of a lackey, and his face appeared serious, \u201cBrother, do you have any guesses to whether this is a simple homicide or\u2026\u201d<\/p>

Instead of answering him, Lin Chen lifted his head and stared at the hospital\u2019s snow-white walls. His gaze followed the glass windows and ended on a high floor.<\/p>

\u201cLet\u2019s explore the seventh floor,\u201d he said.<\/p>

Fu Hao let out a drawn-out sigh. Of course, he knew how tight-lipped his brother was and that everything would remain a secret before Lin Chen was ready to talk about it.<\/p>

The elevator arrived at the top floor and, when the door opened, the word\u300cOncology\u300din scarlet came into view.<\/p>

Even Fu Hao had an epiphany.<\/p>

Lin Chen coughed twice, and Fu Hao finally exited the elevator.<\/p>

The oncology ward was exceptionally calm and quiet. The elderly walked by slowly, holding onto the railings attached to the walls.<\/p>

Just then, a nurse accompanying an old man passed by, and Lin Chen immediately remembered him as the nurse he saw in the hospital that day. He went over and patted the nurse on the shoulder.<\/p>

\u201cHello, I\u2019d like to ask if you know Yan Qing?\u201d His question was ambiguous.<\/p>

The nurse nodded and said with disdain, \u201cWhat happened to her?\u201d<\/p>

\u201cShe\u2019s dead.\u201d<\/p>

The man\u2019s eyes widened in disbelief.<\/p>

\u201cSuicide.\u201d Lin Chen added.<\/p>

\u201cI\u2019m not suspecting you. I just want to know, did Yu Yan Qing know a man at the hospital?\u201d<\/p>

The nurse\u2019s face changed instantly, but he still didn\u2019t dare speak.<\/p>

\u201cIt wasn\u2019t me! I didn\u2019t kill her!\u201d<\/p>

\u201cI know it wasn\u2019t you.\u201d Lin Chen\u2019s voice was calm as if trying to alleviate the nurse\u2019s anxiety. \u201cI don\u2019t want to know the relationship between you and Yan Qing, that\u2019s your private matter.\u201d Lin Chen whispered, and the murderer\u2019s sand table appeared in his mind, \u201cI want you to recall whether you\u2019ve seen a mother-son pair. They should be the only members left of their family. The son is about 35-40 years old and the mother around 65. The mother is very strict with her son. You once thought such a domineering old lady in her sixties was quite hateful.\u201d<\/p>

Interpreting the sand table was imagination in itself. Lin Chen associated what he felt when he visited the crime scene too. It was in a state of external order and internal chaos and had a sense of confusion, loneliness, and helplessness. \u201cI think the son left an impression on you. He was so obedient to his mother that it made you think he was a weak mama\u2019s boy.\u201d Lin Chen changed his tone, and his words also slowed, \u201cBut he was a gentleman, his conduct was mannerly. So much so that he appeared charming.\u201d<\/p>

The nurse suddenly looked up, as if remembering something.<\/p>

\u201cWho?\u201d<\/p>

\u201cThe son of a former patient in Bed 3, Section 7. Yan Qing was assigned that area.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cWhat happened to that patient?\u201d<\/p>

\u201cGastric cancer, chronic.\u201d The nurse said bluntly.<\/p>

\u201cThat patient\u2026 did she commit suicide?\u201d<\/p>

The nurse was surprised but nodded.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
