In the Turbulent Spring of Youth, Only You Captivate (2) Part 2

Although their hearts ached with unwillingness, they still held to their sacred creed: do not raise a hand against your own people. Despite the unsightly curses and roars, the scene was intense and descended into chaos.

The moment the gun fired, Lu Huaizheng subconsciously covered Yu Hao's ears and turned sideways, blocking all the ferocious faces from her view.

Yu Hao only felt a palm by her ear, four fingers pressing against the back of her head. The hand tightened slightly, and a low but restrained voice sounded by her ear, “Didn't I tell you to stay with the unit? What are you doing out here?”

If she hadn't come out, she would never have known the situation they were facing today.

She would never have known that Chen Rui and the others were using their own bodies to stop these people from rushing to their deaths.

If these people knew the truth in the future, would they come to their senses?

Would they come to their senses? Would they repent?

They wouldn't.

Then was what Lu Huaizheng, Chen Rui, and the others were doing even worth it?

Yu Hao's eyes grew hot. Fighting back tears, she looked up at Lu Huaizheng and said, “I have a new clue.”

He nodded. “Wait for me.”

Then he drew his gun, pushed past Chen Rui and Wu Heping in front of him, pressed the dark muzzle to Zaza's father's head, and pulled the trigger. Terrified, Yu Hao covered her mouth, and the hot tears welling in her eyes rolled down.

Then she heard Lu Huaizheng say to the man, “You will take your people and calm down right now. After nine o'clock, we will explain the whole story to you. If a war really breaks out, how many bombs do you think this tiny town of yours can take? I'm the person in charge of this entire matter. After it's over, you can file a complaint against me with the Highest Military Region. But if you continue to cause trouble, I don't mind resorting to extreme measures.”

To put it bluntly, this group of lazy men were simply certain that Chen Rui and Wu Heping wouldn't fight back.

With the gun barrel against his head, Zaza's father stared daggers at Lu Huaizheng, his eyes wide.

Lu Huaizheng held the gun steady and raised his other hand to look at his watch.

“There are ten minutes until nine o'clock. I don't have time to waste on you. If you're going to keep making trouble, then I will resort to extreme measures.”

“After this is over, I'll file a complaint against you with the Highest Military Region! You just wait!”

The man let out an unwilling growl, saying through gritted teeth.

The auditorium finally fell silent.

Lu Huaizheng holstered his gun, instructed Sun Kai to have the second team come in and relieve Chen Rui's group, then turned to find Yu Hao.

The girl was clearly frightened.

He led her to the grassy area outside the auditorium, lowered his head, and softly called her name, “Yu Hao.”

Yu Hao snapped back to reality and quickly rubbed her eyes.

“I'm fine, just a little...”

Nervous.

Lu Huaizheng smiled, suddenly remembering the content of her lecture at the Air Therapy Institute last time. She had said that when people are nervous, they gently rub the back of their neck to increase blood flow to the cervical spine and release pressure.

He followed suit.

When his hand rested on the back of Yu Hao's neck, the girl flinched.

Then he heard her say, “That man is a local.”

Lu Huaizheng froze.

“Are you sure?”

Yu Hao nodded firmly.

“I'm sure he's a local. He probably lived in this town since he was a child and left for some unavoidable reason before he was five.”

“How did you figure that out?”

“I went back and thought it over many times. I always felt something was suspicious. Why would he choose an unfamiliar town? When I was interrogating him the other day, I overlooked a detail. When I said he wasn't a local, he showed a smug expression. I thought it was just his usual demeanor, but I kept feeling something wasn't right. Just like the paint and the beard on his body, they were all fake.”

After Lu Huaizheng left, in the dormitory, Yu Hao had been unintentionally discussing a very old case with Senior Sister Zhao.

In the dormitory, Yu Hao had been unintentionally discussing a very old case with Senior Sister Zhao. To divert suspicion, the criminal had lived for a long time using a thinking pattern opposite to his usual one.

In that instant, she suddenly understood where that feeling of wrongness had come from.

So she closed her eyes and replayed the scene of yesterday's interrogation in her mind. She suddenly recalled the one detail she had missed: when she had confidently stated he wasn't a local, the smugness he deliberately showed by tapping his toes was meant for her to see.

Moreover, she realized she had missed a very important point during yesterday's interrogation.

All psychological assessments, including the EAC model, must be conducted based on the subject's usual reactions. Generally, to ensure more accurate results, there's a composition scenario that requires ten minutes of composition time between her and the subject.

In cases Yu Hao had handled before, some subjects were uncooperative with the composition, which required her to use her experience to judge if they were lying based on their micro-expressions and small movements.

But under yesterday's circumstances, there was obviously no time for composition, so she used her usual method of treating patients, judging his state from his micro-expressions.

That's why that feeling of awkwardness had lingered in her mind.

If that was the case, when Yu Hao used reverse thinking to deduce in her dorm room, she arrived at a terrifying idea.

When Yu Hao used reverse thinking to deduce in her dorm room, she arrived at a terrifying idea.

He isn't a sexual pervert.

He might be sexually frigid, or even be repulsed by the topic of sex.

Yet he used dropping his pants and other extreme methods to make Yu Hao believe he was a sexual pervert.

“The people in this town are all very familiar with each other, so why couldn't you find any information about him? It must be because he left this town before he became an adult, perhaps even when he was much younger, so no one remembers him. But this town is very small. I just had Instructor Tang get all the population migration data for this town from the last twenty years.”

Yu Hao said, “We found someone who, at the age of five, was driven out of this town with his mother by the people here at the time.”

However, at that moment, Lu Huaizheng's walkie-talkie went off.

It was He Lang, who was lying in wait at the foot of the mountain.

“Captain Lu, the target didn't come down the mountain. The car's positioning system shows he's still in town!”
