When Yu Zhesen returned to his residence, he pressed the light switch in the entrance hall, and the dark living room suddenly became bright.
Behind him, Chu Yuexi stood outside the door with her arms folded.
When she returned from a motorcycle ride on a summer night, her denim hot pants were dry, but her socks and sneakers were still wet.
Looking at the smooth and clean floors of Yu Zhesen's house that seemed to have been carefully cleaned, it was difficult for Chu Yuexi to decide whether to take off her shoes or not.
"Come in, what are you doing outside?" Yu Zhesen turned around and urged strangely.
"Oh... oh oh." She struggled in her mind, but decided to take off her shoes.
Yu Zhesen went straight to the refrigerator and took out two bottles of ice water. He put them on the table and motioned to Chu Yuexi: "An He said she won't be back with Yu Qingxue tonight. You can use the bathroom and bathroom in the guest room as you like. I
Let me find you some clean clothes..."
Chu Yuexi held the white socks she had taken off with her hands, blushing and standing barefoot next to the shoe cabinet in the entrance hall: "Hey... I'm sorry to bother you."
Yu Zhesen couldn't help lowering his gaze to look at her white and red feet.
After Chu Yuexi noticed it, she subconsciously curled up her toes.
"Eh? So your favorite part is the feet?" Shi Xin said in Yu Zhesen's mind in a tone of "I see".
Being suddenly poked by Shi Xin, Yu Zhesen looked away guiltily and quickly hid in the room on the pretext of checking the chip that Yuan Yinchuan gave him.
A few minutes later, he came out of the room again and handed the folded clean clothes to Chu Yuexi, asking her to make do with them.
Looking at the men's short-sleeved boxers, Chu Yuexi hesitated for a moment, but did not refuse. After taking it, she smiled at Yu Zhesen and turned to the bathroom of the next room.
"The hair dryer is in the drawer of the sink." Yu Zhesen did not forget to remind.
The old notebook was a little slow to start up. Finally, after the system was completed, Yu Zhesen inserted the chip into the external reader.
The files of the Criminal Investigation Department of Qidao City Security Bureau are displayed on the screen.
"The 471st missing person on the day of the Return sect attack..."
Looking at the number at the beginning of the file, Yu Zhesen felt a little heavy.
Qin Yuqing's personal file was placed in the first part of the case document. Seeing the female doctor with a gentle smile in the photo, Yu Zhesen couldn't help but recall the afternoon when he went for psychological consultation.
In the psychological clinic, Qin Yuqing put him into a hypnotic state by changing kaleidoscope images, but he could not recall anything after waking up.
Judging from Qin Yuqing's words afterward, Yu Zhesen guessed that he should have made some reactions during hypnosis, and may have answered some of her questions, but in the end Qin Yuqing believed that the hypnosis diagnosis and treatment failed.
"I remember... Doctor Qin asked me if I had been reading any literature from the old era recently."
Yu Zhesen seemed to be mumbling to himself, but he was actually communicating with Shi Xin.
"Because you described to her some scenes very characteristic of the old times during hypnosis." Shi Xin's translucent shadow appeared next to Yu Zhesen, with his small waist leaning lightly on the edge of the table.
"How do you know?" Yu Zhesen asked suspiciously.
"Of course it's because I let you see those things." Shi Xin smiled slyly, and then said seriously: "Qin Yuqing still has something, her hypnosis method can be compared with Yu Qing's in a sense.
Xue and Cheng Heyang’s thought intrusions were comparable, and I activated my defense mechanism at that time.”
Yu Zhesen turned his head in surprise: "Is Dr. Qin's psychological hypnosis so powerful?"
He thought Shi Xin was using an exaggerated method of comparison.
After all, Yu Qingxue and Cheng Heyang are both outstanding talents in the field of telepathy. In Yu Zhesen's impression, Qin Yuqing cannot reach the level of the two of them.
But Shi Xin immediately said: "In terms of effects alone, as long as the subject is willing to cooperate, once Qin Yuqing's psychological hypnosis completes the entire process, it will definitely be able to dig out more effective information than mind reading."
"The premise is that the person is willing to cooperate and complete the process." Yu Zhesen grasped the key point of her words.
Shi Xin nodded: "So the conditions are rather harsh, and it doesn't have much practical value in fighting people with superpowers. However, it is enough for her job as a psychologist."
Yu Zhesen continued to check the case files provided by Yuan Yinchuan. It turned out that Qin Yuqing's assistant reported the case to the Security Bureau the day after she disappeared.
This assistant did not go to work at the psychological clinic for some reason on the day when Qidao City was attacked by the Returned Sect. She found that she could not contact Qin Yuqing that night. She waited until the next day to find out that the security monitoring of the clinic had been destroyed before confirming that Qin Yuqing was there.
Yuqing encountered an unexpected event.
At that time, the entire Qidao City was in chaos and turmoil after being attacked by the Guilin Sect. Although the Security Bureau received the report, it was unable to immediately launch an investigation and only included him in the list of accidental missing persons.
The actual investigation of the case started a week later, but the clues that could be obtained were already quite limited.
The criminal investigation department commissioners responsible for the case extracted some physical evidence such as fingerprints and hair at Qin Yuqing's clinic, but the DNA and identity information extracted from these evidences were consistent with at least a dozen patients who had been treated by Qin Yuqing.
.
Subsequently, the Technology Department conducted an investigation into the stored data on Qin Yuqing's office personal computer. After some hard work, it was discovered that Qin Yuqing had several email exchanges with a netizen who claimed to be a scholar at the St. Newman Institute of Human Spirituality. p>
Qin Yuqing and this researcher and scholar discussed a large number of academic issues related to the professional field of psychological medicine in emails. The original texts of these emails were completely extracted and saved in the case files.
"Fuck..." Yu Zhesen slid the mouse, and he was dazzled by the large number of academic terms expressed in English in the email.
Although he couldn't understand most of the text related to related professional fields, he could tell from the polite sentences at the beginning and end of the email that Qin Yuqing had a very positive and happy attitude towards communicating with this person.
The other party's reply was also polite, and the email also contained a lot of professional and academic discussions. Judging from Qin Yuqing's attitude in maintaining email exchanges with him, this guy should have real talent and learning.
Yu Zhesen noticed that the last email exchange between the two parties was in April this year. The scholar at the Institute of Human Spirituality in St. Newman took the initiative to invite Qin Yuqing to participate in a research project he was conducting. However, Qin Yuqing was dismissed by Qin Yuqing because he was too busy with his clinic work.
I declined politely.
Although she declined the other party's invitation, she still expressed her gratitude in her reply and sent her best wishes to the other party's research project.
"Below these emails are comments from investigators of the Criminal Investigation Department." Shi Xin motioned to Yu Zhesen to look down.
The Criminal Investigation Department investigator in charge of the case marked in red font below the content of the email: "After tracing the IP information of this email account, we found that it has used a disguised network address for a long time. It can basically be determined that this person is not in St. Newman City." p>
"People from the Criminal Investigation Department went to the Institute of Human Spirituality in St. Newman City to investigate several teams of scholars who were conducting project research, and finally confirmed that the person who maintained email exchanges with Qin Yuqing did not belong to the institute.
"Yu Zhesen finished reading the following summary of the investigation.
Shi Xin curled up his lips: "Obviously, this person approached Qin Yuqing with a special purpose. He carefully packaged his identity."
"Investigators from the Criminal Investigation Department also believe that Qin Yuqing's disappearance is closely related to this person, but unfortunately their pursuit of the email address did not yield any valuable results." Yu Zhesen leaned on his chair. p>
"Has the investigation of the case ended here?"
"Yes." Yu Zhesen pulled down the mouse to confirm that the file was complete. Below are the records and numbers used by the Security Bureau to organize the archives and other miscellaneous items.
At that time, the Guilin sect launched a large-scale terrorist attack on Qidao City in order to rescue Fu Zhaohai. In addition to the drones that took off from the ark on the sea, they also scattered a large number of bionic robots in the city. The entire attack caused minor and heavy casualties.
And the number of missing people reached nearly a thousand.
But Qin Yuqing is different from those who were killed or disappeared in accidental attacks. Judging from the clues that the Criminal Investigation Department has investigated, she should have been kidnapped premeditated.
"That mysterious exoskeleton armor with horns." Shi Xin raised a finger, "When he took Cheng Heyang away, didn't he say he wanted to control other people's thoughts?"
"Do you suspect that Qin Yuqing's disappearance is also related to him?"
"It's just a guess," Shi Xin shook his head gently, "After all, we still don't know the true face hidden under that armor..."
She suddenly closed her mouth and did not finish her words.
Yu Zhesen gave her a strange look.
"Shh, listen." Shi Xin blinked.
"What are you listening to?" Yu Zhesen was slightly startled, a little nervous because of her, and subconsciously placed his right hand on the bracelet on his left wrist.
"The sound of water in the bathroom next door stopped, and the hair dryer was turned on to the third gear." Shi Xin raised his eyebrows, "Your little girlfriend is ready to change into your clothes and come out."
"..."
The intermittent air conditioner suddenly blew a gust of cold wind. Yu Zhesen shivered, and when he came to his senses, Shi Xin's shadow was no longer visible at the table.
When he heard it, he said softly in his mind: "It's late at night, let's rest. No matter how many mysteries and black fog there are ahead, you must first recuperate your energy."
