Chapter 591: Hypnotic Confrontation

Chapter 591: This Is Fucking Scary (Update 4)

Gan Shaomei sat calmly in the interrogation chair while Xiao Yu stood before her. Lin.

“There’s no way out, is there?”

With a half-smile, Gan Shaomei glanced at Xiao Yu. “So, are you about to resort to crude methods?”

“No, I’ve never been crude. I don’t usually pick on women.”

Xiao Yu raised the corner of his mouth in a smile. “If it were a female criminal, I’d kill her on the spot!”

Gan Shaomei: …

“You think you’re untouchable, don’t you?”

Xiao Yu raised his arm and made a gesture.

He extended his palm, his fingers splayed.

He opened and closed his hand, then repeated the motion.

It was as if he were dueling with the air itself.

Gan Shaomei was taken aback for a moment.

In an instant, her expression turned pale as she gasped, “You…”

“No matter how many plans I devise or defenses I erect…”

Retracting his hand, Xiao Yu smiled. “You never considered that ‘560’—I am also a hypnotist, right?”

Panic flickered across Gan Shaomei’s face as she trembled in fear.

As a hypnotist skilled in both psychology and hypnosis,

she immediately understood what Xiao Yu’s gesture meant.

To her horror, she realized her consciousness was growing hazy and sleepiness was creeping in.

It wasn’t until then that she noticed she’d been unintentionally hypnotized by Xiao Yu.

Instant hypnosis?

No. Instant hypnosis can only be used between a hypnotist and a long-trusted patient.

So it must be… Gan Shaomei’s heart had plunged into an icy abyss, leaving her shivering all over.

From the moment she met Xiao Yu, she’d fallen into his hypnotic trap.

Every movement he made, every word, every glance, every expression… all were designed to coax her subconscious.

And she hadn’t noticed a thing?

No; ever since the arrangement of that room and that recliner, she had been on guard against him.

So why had she been hypnotized?

Unless…

Gan Shaomei looked at Xiao Yu in terror. “A hypnotist… master?!”

“No.”

Xiao Yu shook his head. “But just last year, I sent a hypnotist master to the executioner’s block!”

Gan Shaomei: …

If a hypnotist master commits a crime, only another hypnotist master can catch him!

“I lost!” Gan Shaomei chuckled bitterly.

After uttering those words, she slumped back in the interrogation chair as if all her strength had been drained.

What kind of feeling was this?

It was like being a monarch leading an army to conquer the world.

You defeat nation after nation, seizing piece after piece of territory,

until the entire world is under your control.

Then one day, as the ruler of all, you gaze up at the sky in triumph,

only to find a pair of eyes watching you from beyond your domain.

They looked at you as if you were nothing more than an ant.

Only then do you realize that the world you’ve conquered is merely a child’s toy.

The owner of those eyes could crush you and your world with a single gesture.

All your efforts, everything you’ve done, is nothing but a joke in their eyes.

Not even you are anything more than a joke!

“Not going to fight back?” Xiao Yu asked with a smile.

After all that time and effort wasted,

it was all for this very moment!

That’s right; ever since meeting Gan Shaomei,

he had been hypnotizing her, employing every trick in his arsenal

to coax and shatter her mental defenses.

But she was a hypnotist too.

To avoid detection, the process dragged on at a snail’s pace,

taking Xiao Yu sixteen hours to completely hypnotize Gan Shaomei.

Some might say that evidence obtained under hypnosis can’t be used in court.

True enough.

Take confessions, for example.

Confessions given in a hypnotic state might not be admissible,

but if you can use them to uncover supporting evidence—

like the murder weapon… a utility knife, a hammer, and a cable tie—

these items were crucial in the deaths of two victims.

Even if no fingerprints are found, what can you do to me?

Here’s the kicker: how do you even know where the murder weapon is?

Don’t give me that crap about hypnosis being a lucky break.

We’re all adults here.

So, as long as hypnosis uncovers evidence,

be it the murder weapon, the crime scene, or matching timelines,

it still counts as evidence!

The only thing hypnosis can’t validate is a confession.

Xiao Yu was well aware of that.

And so was Gan Shaomei.

She knew she’d lost—lost utterly.

She didn’t even have the strength to resist.

“I’ll give you one chance.”

Xiao Yu glared coldly at Gan Shaomei. “While I still see you as a person, you better confess…”

This isn’t a threat; it’s just the truth!

“Thank you.”

Gan Shaomei stood up and flashed a twisted smile. “I killed a person, but I only killed Qi Dandan.”

“You only killed Qi Dandan…” Xiao Yu shuddered as a question leapt into his mind.

Then who killed the victim Wen Heyu?

The answer was clear… Qi Dandan!

But why?

“Didn’t see that coming, huh?”

In a mocking tone, Gan Shaomei said, “I don’t think even Wen Heyu expected his wife to strap a cable tie around his neck and toss him a utility knife.”

A chill ran down Xiao Yu’s spine.

“By the way.”

Gan Shaomei smiled softly. “You police probably do autopsies, right? Here’s a tip: you should examine Qi Dandan’s baby to see if it really is her and Wen Heyu’s child.”

Xiao Yu felt a bone-deep chill as goosebumps erupted all over him.

The relentless twists left him utterly flabbergasted.

He didn’t even need to call Forensic Doctor Fang to have the baby thoroughly examined.

He had already guessed that the child wasn’t Wen Heyu’s!

“Isn’t it strange that, despite loving Qi Dandan, I killed her?”

Gan Shaomei said calmly, “When I first met her, she was already with Wen Heyu. I had no choice, because I loved her.”

“But she ended up bearing another man’s child.”

“You know, ‘3.9’ not only betrayed Wen Heyu but also betrayed me.”

“For money, for that lover, she even begged me to take the blame.”

“Because she knew I would do anything for her.”

“And what’s the price for taking the blame? I’d have to die for her!”

“It was then I truly realized that she never loved me.”

“Heh, isn’t it amusing? She never loved me and was just toying with me.”

“So…”

Gan Shaomei laughed maniacally, “I killed her myself. I cut open her stomach and took out her child… and while she was still alive, I chopped her baby to pieces right before her eyes!”

Xiao Yu stared at the increasingly deranged woman before him and drew in a chilling breath.

In that moment, he vowed that he would never be a scumbag in his life.

The consequences of a failed plan are fucking terrifying!
