I'm just a trainee police officer. I don't really want to solve the case.

Chapter 117 Strange Cause

Su Xiaoxiao and the others went to see Director Zhang again. Director Zhang was a little surprised to see them coming again.

"We are here to ask you something. Did you ask Yue Chenglin to send Jiang Minmin home on the night of the celebration banquet?" Su Xiaoxiao didn't waste any words.

"Yes. Jiang Minmin is a student in my class. My child was sick that day, so she had to leave early. I was worried that it would be dangerous for her to go back alone too late, so I asked Yue Chenglin to take her back."

"Then did you know that he didn't send Jiang Minmin back?"

"I know. This is what they call a coincidence."

"Why didn't you tell the police about this before?"

"I don't think this has anything to do with the case. If he had gone to deliver the mail that night, this wouldn't have happened. But if he didn't, what can I say? Besides, the kid already blamed himself enough and even got sick because of it. How can I blame him anymore?"

"What's wrong with Yue Chenglin?"

"I heard it's PTSD, which is post-traumatic stress disorder. Just look at the disease he has and you can see how much he blames himself."

PTSD? Jiang Minmin's accident had nothing to do with Yue Chenglin. Just because he didn't send Jiang Minmin home, just because he didn't send him home, did he blame himself to this extent?

"Why did you let Yue Chenglin take Jiang Minmin home? According to our understanding, the top ten students in the grade at that time all excluded Jiang Minmin and had a bad relationship with her. I heard that Yue Chenglin even bullied her."

“In fact, I can see that Yue Chenglin likes Jiang Minmin, although he has bullied her before. However, adolescent boys sometimes express their love by finding faults.

I also came from a boy's background, so it wasn't really bullying. He actually secretly gave her study materials. Jiang Minmin didn't know about it, but I saw it.

That's why I asked him to go. They have all grown up and will soon go their separate ways. Maybe this is his last chance to get in touch with Jiang Minmin, and I think he is very happy about it."

"Okay, then I have one last question. Is Yue Chenglin still seeing a doctor? Do you know who his doctor is?"

"I don't know. His family is relatively well-off, so he went to the best private hospital, Rongxin. You can go there and ask."

After leaving Director Zhang, Su Xiaoxiao and the others went directly to Rong Xin. She had a hunch that there must be something wrong with Yue Chenglin's illness, and she might be the key to solving the mystery.

Rongxin is the best private hospital in Jingzhong City. It not only has advanced equipment, but also a good environment and a very grand lobby.

Because of the high fees, there is no overcrowding here like in ordinary hospitals.

The nurse at the front desk was pretty and respectful. When she heard that they wanted to see the patient's information, she said she couldn't make the decision and had to ask her supervisor.

After she made the call, she asked them to wait and someone would come to receive them.

After a while, a man in a suit and tie came down from upstairs. He was the assistant to the dean here, and his surname was Zhang.

Assistant Zhang took them to a reception room and was very cooperative. After hearing that the patient they wanted to know was called Yue Chenglin, he called his attending physician over.

She is a female doctor named Lin, nearly fifty years old, with her hair tied behind her head. She speaks softly and seems very gentle.

Hearing that the person they were asking about was Yue Chenglin, Doctor Lin said, "Is he ill again?"

"No, we want to know what caused his illness? How long has he been ill?"

"It's been a long time, about 20 years. At first, my family didn't know about his illness. They just thought he was quiet and it was common for teenage boys to have strange personalities, so they didn't take it seriously. It wasn't until he started to self-harm that his family felt something was wrong and sent him to the hospital. After the diagnosis, we thought he had PTSD.

"What caused him to get sick?"

"It seems that the teacher asked him to send a girl home, but he didn't, and the girl got into trouble that night."

"Did he say that himself?"

"No, he refused to say anything. It was only after his family went to the school to find out the situation from the teacher that they found out what was going on."

"It's that simple?"

"That's not the case. In fact, during the treatment, I found that he had a special feeling for that girl. He must have liked that girl, so he blamed himself so deeply that he couldn't forgive himself."

This is consistent with what Director Zhang said, but Su Xiaoxiao still feels that it can't be that simple.

After getting in the car, Su Xiaoxiao frowned and wondered what had happened that year that made Yue Chenglin blame himself so much?

"Let's go and meet Yue Chenglin again."

Su Xiaoxiao suddenly spoke, which scared Li Yan and Xiao Yu. They saw her thinking and didn't dare to disturb her.

Yue Chenglin didn't seem to be overly surprised by their arrival. But when he heard that they were here to ask about his condition, his expression froze for a moment, and then he smiled bitterly. Everyone knew his secret.

"I didn't expect to get this disease. During that period, I could see Jiang Minmin whenever I closed my eyes. She blamed me for not sending her home that night. She would follow me wherever I went. I was so scared that I couldn't sleep at night."

"Jiang Minmin was just raped, she didn't die. You don't need to blame yourself too much." Su Xiaoxiao observed his expression carefully.

"You don't understand. She was such a pure and innocent girl, and I think it's more painful to have her destroyed than to have her killed."

"So, you never went to see her afterwards."

"I can't face her, or rather, I can't face myself."

Yue Chenglin shook his head, with a sadness in his eyes that Su Xiaoxiao could not understand. No one else could empathize with his feelings.

"How is your illness now?"

"I haven't had this disease for a long time. If you hadn't come, I would have almost forgotten that I had this disease."

"Did you really not go to see Jiang Minmin off on the night of the celebration banquet? Even if you just followed her from a distance?"

Yue Chenglin was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "No."

"Okay. Then just call me if you remember anything in the future." Su Xiaoxiao handed a business card to Yue Chenglin.

Yue Chenglin took it and put it on the table.

The three of them came out, and Xiao Yu was a little curious: "Senior Sister, why are you so interested in Yue Chenglin?"

"I think what happened back then had a lot to do with him. His illness was very strange. I absolutely don't believe that he would blame himself to the point of developing PTSD just because he didn't send someone home."

"But he won't tell us, what can we do?"

"Who said we have no solution? We can find out by doing a test."

Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows and spread out her palm. There were two black hairs with follicles in her palm.
