Chapter 115: Even Perverts Have Their Wits

Chapter 115: Even Perverts Have Their Wits

Xiao Yu heaved a sigh of relief.

Ren Chang’s suicide raised too many questions.

Yes, it was a suicide.

But among the cases Xiao Yu had cracked before,

there were no shortage of induced suicides…

Inducing someone to commit suicide—a crime?

There was one case in particular.

After a couple broke up, the girl suddenly called her ex, demanding they reunite and threatening to take her own life if he refused.

The boy retorted, “Your death is none of my business. If you want to kill yourself, do it already – stop bothering me!”

The girl ended her life.

The boy was sued by her family.

In the end, he had to pay a hefty sum in compensation.

Many would find this unreasonable.

After all, what connection did her death have with him now that they had broken up?

No; her death was indeed closely linked to his actions.

Even if the connection was slight.

Because his words incited her, provoked her!

Can a slip of the tongue really be a crime?

Don’t you know that words can unleash disaster?

Let’s put it this way.

If severe incitement and provocation drive someone to suicide,

the harshest penalty… is execution!

According to Xiao Yu’s deduction,

Ren Chang’s suicide was most likely triggered by his belief that Jiang Dan… was dead!

His suicide was his way of fulfilling a promise to his true love—a testament to his deep affection.

Is it foolish to sacrifice oneself for love?

Throughout history, not only among ordinary people but even among the famous,

aren’t there plenty of cases of suicides committed for love?

Can you imagine how many such cases occur each year?

You might not believe it.

Globally, about 800,000 people die by suicide every year.

Seventy percent of these are due to romantic troubles.

Scary, right?

To put it even more dramatically,

every minute, someone is strangling themselves for love!

Another question troubled Xiao Yu.

Suppose Ren Chang believed that his girlfriend Jiang Dan had been beaten, even abused;

if his love ran so deep that he was driven to suicide,

why didn’t he hunt down the culprit and avenge her?

Could it be… autism?

Xiao Yu suddenly understood.

According to some medical studies,

ninety percent of people with autism are extremely timid.

In plain terms, they’re just cowards.

They shun contact with strangers and unfamiliar things, preferring to hide away.

How can a person this timid be expected to avenge someone else?

Is that realistic?

Another puzzle emerged.

How can someone so cowardly dare to commit suicide? It sounds absurd, right?

The answer is,

it is exactly the timid, weak people who can’t face reality that are most inclined to choose suicide!

On the other hand, brave individuals who remain unflustered in adversity would never opt for suicide.

Since Ren Chang did commit suicide, whether or not he was incited,

remember the three words scrawled on the detention center wall:

‘I am wronged!’

Why so much anger and resentment?

Xiao Yu’s expression grew complex.

Because Ren Chang was an incredibly composed man!

Isn’t that contradictory?

For an extremely composed man to choose suicide?

Humans are just so contradictory and complex.

When circumstances reach an extreme, counter-reactions occur.

Too much trauma only makes one lose their calm even more!

But one thing is clear: calm people are usually very clever, reflective, and adept at using their wits.

Those three words, ‘I am wronged,’ carried an immense amount of anger and bitterness.

Xiao Yu believed it wasn’t because Ren Chang was locked up in the detention center,

but because of Jiang Dan, right?

He believed that losing his true love and being unable to avenge her death

had driven him to devise a plan.

Using someone else’s hand to take revenge?

Everyone knows it.

In a place like a detention center, if someone dies or a prisoner commits suicide, it spells big trouble.

Then add three blood-red characters, and you can only imagine the fallout.

“I see!”

Muttering to himself, Xiao Yu said, “You want to have your woman avenged this way? It’s not that you don’t care about life or your parents; you just want that murderer to pay. So you took this extreme path to honor your love and punish the so-called culprit, right?”

“I’m too timid, I’m sick—I can’t take revenge.”

But… I still have a way to kill you.

That’s Ren Chang for you!

“No wonder even in death, your face wore a smile of relief and happiness.”

Xiao Yu chuckled, “Wanting revenge on one hand while chasing love on the other?”

So, never underestimate the insane and the perverted.

They might be troubled, but they surely aren’t brainless!

…

Everything runs on cause and effect.

Because the cause has been found!

Xiao Yu left the Ren residence.

Now, it’s time to find the result.

Why was Ren Chang so sure that Jiang Dan was dead?

0… Send flowers…

…

In Bincheng, at a flower shop.

Xiao Yu strolled in casually.

Inside, there were countless flowers and plants, resembling a sea of blossoms.

After some investigation,

it was revealed that Jiang Dan left her hometown at eighteen to come to this city.

Her first stop was this very flower shop.

Not only did she work here for eight years,

but six months ago, she even bought the shop.

“Good day, sir. Are you here to buy flowers?”

A female clerk approached with a warm smile, her eyes sparkling as she took in Xiao Yu’s handsome face.

Blessed with a look recognized by the Women’s Federation, she naturally became the center of attention for every girl around.

She lusted after him… Xiao Yu glanced briefly at the clerk.

A young man must always protect himself!

“Is there any flower suitable for…”

………..0

Suddenly, the image of Mu Qingwu flashed in Xiao Yu’s mind.

People can be more delicate than flowers; truly, it seemed no flower could match his elder sister.

“I’m not here to buy flowers.”

Xiao Yu shook his head, raised his hand to display his badge, and said to the clerk, “Police. Is your boss here? If not, notify her immediately – there’s a case that needs her investigation.”

The clerk was momentarily silent…

Surely, this must be a fake, right?

He just graduated from college?

How could he be a cop?

Internally questioning several times, the clerk obediently went to call the boss.

Jiang Dan was inside the shop.

But when Xiao Yu saw her, he felt a twinge of doubt.

He had seen her photo before, yet her looks now were slightly different.

This change was most likely due to her frequent visits to beauty salons in the past six months.

She had undergone several cosmetic treatments and minor procedures.

As for her figure…

Sorry.

The police database wouldn’t bother with such trivial details.

Unless someone had committed a crime, they wouldn’t record physical attributes.

But one thing was odd – the vibe she gave Xiao Yu was…

How should he put it? A sort of old-fashioned, mature air.

Logically, she should be 27, a year younger than Mu Qingwu.

Yet Mu Qingwu appeared to be in his early twenties.

But Jiang Dan gave Xiao Yu the impression of being in her thirties!

It reminded him of a joke: “Ma’am, how do you stay so young?”

And that wasn’t all.

One could clearly see signs of recent plastic surgery on Jiang Dan’s face, with no trace of full recovery or residual swelling… a mystery that remained unsolved.
