Officer Zhang was stunned: "Aren't you going to look again?" Did he immediately conclude it was a conspiracy and that he was murdered?
"What are you looking for?" Ren Yifei asked.
"What are you looking for... why don't you look for it yourself and find out?" Officer Zhang changed the subject.
Ren Yifei thought for a moment: "Did the deceased leave behind some records, like a diary or notes, in which she wrote that her fiancé had engaged in PUA-like behavior? This makes it seem like the murderer used psychological stimulation to drive the deceased to suicide?"
Officer Zhang glanced at the computer desk suspiciously, but it was clear that no one had searched it.
"Don't look," Ren Yifei shook his head. "Even if a diary appears, clearly recording how the deceased's fiancé controlled her and even provoked her, I will not change my judgment."
"Why?" Officer Zhang was puzzled.
"Regarding schizophrenia, each patient's condition at the onset of the illness is different; however, there are subtle differences between drug-induced and naturally induced schizophrenia."
What kind of drug do you think it might be?
"Phenycyclohexidine, commonly known as 'angel dust,' has been used to simulate acute paranoid schizophrenia. After ingestion, it can cause symptoms such as excessive sweating, dysarthria, and high fever, and may even trigger epilepsy."
Officer Zhang nodded subconsciously, but immediately realized something was wrong: "Simulated paranoid schizophrenia? Isn't it because secretly changing medication or reducing the dosage caused the condition to worsen?"
Ren Yifei glanced at him, his face saying: How silly and naive.
Officer Zhang: ...
"What a coincidence! He wanted to commit insurance fraud, and then his girlfriend suddenly developed a mental illness. I suspect the deceased didn't actually have a mental illness; she was drugged, causing her to behave abnormally, making her appear to have schizophrenia."
A question mark appeared above Officer Zhang's head: "What is the basis for your suspicion?"
"Look here, these are two life insurance contracts that pay out upon death."
Ren Yifei took out two insurance policies: "One is for the deceased, with her fiancé as the beneficiary. The other is for her fiancé, with the deceased as the beneficiary. People with mental illness cannot sign personal insurance policies that 'pay out upon death,' so at this time the deceased had not yet been diagnosed with the disease."
Officer Zhang nodded, and Ren Yifei continued his analysis: "The contract was signed about a year and a half ago. The deceased was diagnosed with mental illness a year ago, which means that the deceased was diagnosed with mental illness six months after they signed the contract."
"A year after the diagnosis, the deceased committed suicide, and the insurance company paid out a huge sum of money to her fiancé."
Officer Zhang shook his head: "Theoretically, if the insured commits suicide within two years of the contract being established, the insurance company is not liable for paying the insurance money."
"Yes, but there is one exception: mentally ill people, because they cannot control themselves. As long as it can be proven that she was in a psychotic state when she committed suicide, she can still receive insurance money for suicide."
Ren Yifei added: "If the insured suffers from mental illness after the contract is established and commits suicide as a result, the beneficiary can receive the insurance money paid by the insurance company."
"The deceased was diagnosed with schizophrenia a year ago, and now there is video evidence that the suicide was caused by a relapse of the illness, which perfectly matches the conditions."
With his reasoning and evidence presented, Officer Zhang was convinced and began urging them to release the test results quickly. Actually, the test results were already prepared; it was just a matter of going through the motions.
Meanwhile, Ren Yifei was still chatting with the audience behind the live broadcast camera: "It took two years to plan and execute, and he remained steadfast throughout. The deceased's fiancé had an exceptionally strong mental fortitude, but at the same time, his moral character was so low that he could be described as despicable."
"He selects a suitable target, becomes her boyfriend or girlfriend, and then uses sweet words to get her to sign an insurance contract. Six months later, the two begin living together and discussing marriage, at which point he starts drugging her."
"Once his girlfriend is diagnosed with schizophrenia, he can still act as if he will never leave her and win her heart and the approval of her family. Then, after another year, when the relationship is deep enough, he can drug her again. In addition, with the addition of mental stimulation, he can aggravate the victim's condition and even induce the victim to commit suicide."
Ren Yifei stroked his chin: "I can imagine how this person usually provokes his girlfriend, probably saying things like, 'You were like a different person when you kissed me yesterday.' Making the victim believe that there is another personality inside her, and that this personality is about to steal her boyfriend and her life."
"Of course, all of this is just speculation at the moment. We'll have to see if any traces of angel dust are found in the deceased's body."
The results came back quickly. Officer Zhang returned with his phone: "It's in. It's the psychotropic drug commonly known as 'angel dust'."
Ren Yifei nodded, unsurprised: "If a woman dies, her spouse is usually the prime suspect, and if there is a conflict of interest between them, then the suspicion is even greater."
"The fact that the deceased was under the influence of drugs during this period indicates that the murderer did not administer a large amount of drugs at once, but rather administered them in batches over several weeks. The only person who could have done this was her fiancé who was living with her."
"Furthermore, the deceased's fiancé was a doctor, which gave him access to these controlled drugs that are not available on the market. Investigating him might reveal where he obtained Angel Dust."
After saying this, Ren Yifei turned to the live streamer: "You all understand now, right? Never set your bed partner as the beneficiary of your insurance policy, otherwise you can try to decide which is more important, yourself or the huge insurance payout."
"To be honest, I really don't understand these people who leave insurance money to their lovers after they die. Are they leaving them money to support new lovers?"
The case has been solved in less than half an hour.
Although the case itself wasn't particularly difficult, it still demonstrated Ren Yifei's exceptional efficiency in solving cases. He adjusted his expression and stepped out. The second group of contestants had been waiting downstairs for a long time, and upon seeing Ren Yifei, they all stared at his face, trying to discern any clues.
The second batch of contestants also included the resurrected trio. They were recalling Ren Yifei's previous gameplay clips, trying to find similar expressions in them to make a judgment.
Ren Yifei was also bored. He clearly just wanted to yawn, but on his face he had a dazed expression of "how could this be?", making people think that the case was very complicated, with one link after another behind it, and was definitely not as simple as it seemed on the surface.
"Smart people are just prone to overthinking," Ren Yifei thought to himself.
As he came out of the building, he encountered other contestants walking in the same direction, all of them looking lazy and unhurried.
"Since we're already late, whether it's the second batch or the third batch, there's no real difference."
The only one with an advantage is Ren Yifei, who is number one.
He was the first to solve the case, and if the process were described in a more exciting way, then the contestants who solved the cases after him would no longer be able to bring any surprises in terms of the cases.
Many of Ren Yifei's soaring popularity stemmed from his desire to be the first to know the details of the case. If he falls from grace and is no longer the fastest, these people will leave.
After saying goodbye to the other contestants, Ren Yifei continued walking back. He had walked this road once before and introduced it once, so there was no point in introducing it again. So he simply played two roles and talked about the previous case in a question-and-answer format.
The most controversial point in this case is whether it was 'suicide' or 'homicide'.
If the perpetrator uses psychological manipulation, it's difficult to prove, and it's generally considered suicide. If the perpetrator drugged the victim, causing them to become mentally unstable and commit suicide, it's considered homicide.
"Some contestants might get completely ripped off by clues like diaries and notebooks. Officer Zhang has already told them that no traces of special drugs were found in the deceased after routine drug tests, which is particularly misleading."
Ren Yifei said as he walked, "Sometimes Angel Dust can be detected by conventional drug testing, and sometimes it can't. This is a kind of bug, and it really tests one's luck."
"If it had been detected during the autopsy, the deceased's fiancé's two years of planning would have been in vain. So, the case wasn't immediately classified as a homicide; there was an element of luck involved."
"Any crime will leave a trace; there is no such thing as a truly perfect crime in the world."
"Many so-called perfect crimes are just exploiting loopholes in the law. For example, some cases of mind control that lead to suicide or incite someone to commit murder cannot be convicted under the law, but everyone knows that this is murder."
At this point, Ren Yifei paused, his mood complex: Wasn't he talking about himself?
He then changed the subject and talked about the complexity of the case.
The first conclusion is that the deceased committed suicide during a schizophrenic episode; it was a complete suicide, without any doubt.
The second level is suicide after the deceased was mentally stimulated, which is a suicide induced by someone, and is still legally defined as suicide.
The third possibility is that the deceased was triggered by drugs, leading to a mental breakdown and subsequent suicide, which constitutes homicide by poisoning.
"If no evidence of poisoning can be found, the conclusion can only remain at the second level. At this point, Officer Zhang introduced a vague factor—routine drug tests did not detect any special drug residues. This would lead some people to abandon the 'poisoning' option, and at most speculate whether the deceased's fiancé reduced the dosage of his schizophrenia medication."
In the video, Ren Yifei speaks eloquently, and the audience laughs as they watch him analyze and see other contestants actually go down the path of 'suspecting the deceased's husband of reducing his medication dosage and mental stimulation'.
"When I watched He Zhaoming solve cases before, I thought it was very simple, and I even had the illusion that 'I could do it too.' But after seeing the other contestants' various wrong choices, emmm..."
When I look at it: I can.
Practice: I can't do it.
This is so true to life.
"The other contestants were quite good; at least they noticed something unusual about the deceased's illness. We knew the result and then worked backward to deduce the process, so of course we thought it was easy."
"What the person upstairs said is true. There are really so many clues in front of us. To extract the key points from them and connect them into a coherent whole, you need to understand schizophrenia and the drug Angel Dust, and you also need to know a little about insurance. An 'ordinary person' would say it's impossible."
Another viewer raised a thought-provoking question: "So why did he even think of becoming an idol? Doesn't he think he's wasting his brain?"
"I know how to do this! Why bother using my brain when I can win just by looking good? (doge.jpg)"
"I have a question. Since He Zhaoming is so capable, able to identify the real culprit in half an hour, why couldn't he prove his innocence? Don't tell me there's no evidence or anything like that. The victim didn't have evidence to prove He Zhaoming's attempted rape, and He Zhaoming didn't have evidence to prove he didn't commit attempted rape either. So, did he really do it?"
The audience comment section suddenly fell silent.
As Ren Yifei enjoyed the gentle breeze on the island, a media war targeting him was about to erupt.
