Rebirth 78, the beginning of the marriage was broken off by the female educated youth

"Yes, how did you do it?" Li Xiangnan asked, pacing around the interrogation room while holding the psychology book.

Guo Qian, Wei Jingfei, and the police officers in the observation room stared intently at him, following his every move and lost in endless reverie as he spoke.

Then, people's eyes widened as they looked at Li Xiangnan, who had stopped in front of Wan Shuisheng.

He had already opened the psychology book, pointed to the underlined text, and laughed, "You've drawn a double line under 'heinous sins,' put a big cross next to 'unforgivable,' and circled 'self-destruction'..."

"Wan Shuisheng, you really went to great lengths to use psychological suggestion!"

As Li Xiangnan spoke, a smile played on his lips, his expression was calm, and his eyes revealed a complete understanding of the situation.

Wan Shuisheng's face turned slightly pale. He clenched his fists and leaned back in the cold iron chair.

"Li Xiangnan, I admit, in all the people I've met during my more than ten years as a fugitive, no one has ever been as observant as you! Yes, you saw through it! I was indeed giving him psychological suggestion!"

Li Xiangnan was somewhat surprised that he had admitted it so readily, but at this moment he didn't care about Wan Shuisheng's attitude. Instead, he ran his finger across the book and explained carefully:

“Highlighting words like ‘morally depraved’ and ‘heinous crimes’ can increase Xu Sheng’s sense of guilt!”

"Unforgivable and divinely punished"—these words imply that Xu Sheng's crimes are unforgivable!

"And the desire to end his own life and seek liberation gradually instilled suicidal thoughts in Xu Sheng!"

"Atonement with death and ending the suffering is the solution offered to Xu Sheng!"

Li Xiangnan stared at Wan Shuisheng: "I never expected that you would go so far as to study these psychology books and prepare Xu Sheng psychologically so far in advance just to kill someone. With your kind of dedication, what couldn't you do? What wouldn't you succeed at?"

Wan Shuisheng's gaze dimmed: "What's the point of saying all this now?"

To prevent them from getting caught up in this self-proof scenario, Guo Qian quickly jotted down a few notes in his notebook, ran over, flipped through a few pages of the book, and asked, "So, even if someone discovers these underlined words, if they don't think too deeply about it, they might assume that these are notes Xu Sheng made while reading and researching?"

“That’s right!” Li Xiangnan agreed wholeheartedly. “Moreover, even Xu Sheng himself subconsciously thought that these were notes left by the previous prisoner when he was reading, and he didn’t pay any attention to them at all! But he didn’t know that although he didn’t care about those notes, his mind had already captured this information through his vision, and it had a subconscious influence on his mind!”

"Hehe!" Wan Shuisheng chuckled, his tone relaxed. "You've only revealed the first piece of information. What about the second?"

"Giving Xu Sheng psychological suggestions is definitely not enough!" Li Xiangnan chuckled, then his tone suddenly turned serious. "You also need to give him a fatal threat!"

He turned to page 76 of the book and pointed to the skull symbol next to "confess and receive leniency," saying, "When such a symbol enters his vision, the sensory discomfort will cause him to subconsciously remember the words next to it, 'confess and receive leniency,' so that when this thought comes up, he will subconsciously think of death!"

“That’s right!” Wan Shuisheng’s voice also turned cold. “I’m going to give him an ultimatum!”

His voice was low and somber, replacing Li Xiangnan's anger.

"Beside him, I casually drew a snake. You think it was just a random drawing? I was warning him that the organization already knows about his wavering will!"

"The big 'X' next to 'repentance through good faith' is a warning that he shouldn't even think about getting a reduced sentence by confessing!"

"And look at Li Xiangnan, who was next to the murderer, that's a clear indication of what would happen if he didn't cooperate!"

The ellipsis after "cut the weeds and eliminate the roots" was to tell him that if he didn't cooperate, his family and son would be implicated!

At this point, Wan Shuisheng revealed a cruel and sinister smile: "The hints over the past week, coupled with wearing a prison uniform soaked in medicine on the last day, sleeping on sheets with a peculiar smell, and seeing these marks I made, he already vaguely understood what awaited him if he didn't commit suicide to atone for his sins!"

“No wonder when I entered the room that day after the incident, I noticed that the book was on page 181, and the words ‘to die to prove one’s innocence’ had been underlined three or four times. This was the final hint!” Li Xiangnan recalled, “After so many days of psychological suggestion, when Xu Sheng saw this in a hallucinatory state, he would subconsciously believe that suicide was the only way to survive!”

“Not only that!” Wan Shuisheng added, “I even had my old buddy bring him a pencil. If time allowed, Xu Sheng would have written his will! Unfortunately, the drug wasn’t strong enough, which is truly a pity!”

Li Xiangnan calmly said, "However, Xu Sheng put a checkmark after the words 'Farewell'!"

"Hahaha," Wan Shuisheng said smugly, "So I'm not actually a failure, am I? My theory of inducing murder is actually feasible!"

“Wan Shuisheng, unfortunately, you made a mistake!” Li Xiangnan suddenly said.

"What is wrong?"

Wan Shuisheng suddenly leaned forward.

Clearly, he cared a lot about what Li Xiangnan said, and he was very concerned about the imperfections of this murder!

"Next to 'death to prove one's innocence,' there's an extra arrow!" Li Xiangnan flipped through the book and found the page. "This slight mark pointing to the foot of the page has a triangular symbol with an eye on it!"

Wan Shuisheng's expression suddenly changed.

"You forgot, I did raid your house before. Among Xu Sheng's personal belongings confiscated before he went to prison were a lot of records!" Li Xiangnan sneered. "This symbol is his communication symbol with his superiors! You drew this here to make Xu Sheng subconsciously believe that the suicide order came from within their organization!"

Wan Shuisheng sighed, "I thought even you wouldn't notice such a detail..."

"Hehe, it was this symbol that confirmed my suspicions!" Li Xiangnan's eyes shone brightly. "The murderer who killed Xu Sheng was not only an expert in psychology, at least having studied it, but also had a thorough understanding of Xu Sheng's criminal drug trafficking network!"

Bang!

At this point, Li Xiangnan slammed the book down on the iron table.

The huge commotion startled everyone!

Wan Shuisheng was startled by this sudden movement and instinctively shrank back.

However, Li Xiangnan remained cold and indifferent, inching closer and closer until he finally stopped less than a meter in front of Wan Shuisheng.

He reached out and grabbed the other person's collar.

"Wan Shuisheng, you killed Xu Sheng, harmed Ding Erpian, and ambushed Zhao Jinzhong. Although you cooperated with me to complete the cause and effect of this hunt, you have remained silent on one issue. I am very dissatisfied with you!"

Wan Shuisheng's face was grim, his hand clenched into a fist as he leaned against the iron table. "What do you want to say?"

"Motive! What's the motive?" Li Xiangnan roared, "You had no grudge against Xu Sheng, why did you kill him to silence him?"

"..."
