Chapter 32
“Are we sure he’s just an ordinary person?”
“We can basically confirm that.”
“Fang Zhi, male, 24 years old, a local from Yuanyang City. All his records from childhood to adulthood are here, nothing unusual. Moreover, he doesn’t know any of the people involved in this case, there’s no connection between them.”
“…According to his statement, he went out for a walk as usual after dinner last night, and then he doesn’t remember anything. The next thing he knew, he was a suspect. That is to say, from about eight o’clock last night to eight o’clock tonight, almost twenty-four hours, his memory is blank.”
“—He lost a day’s memory without knowing it. And just during this day, he committed a major crime that shocked the whole Yuanyang City?”
“Although this sounds like a clumsy lie, all the clues point to this. Several experienced old detectives can determine that he is not lying. There are also many experts in psychology who can testify for him.”
“There are many possibilities now. One, he is a criminal with superb acting skills and a master of psychology, deceiving everyone with his performance—this is not impossible. Two, he is not lying, but was hypnotized, his memory was modified by someone, and the modifier’s technique is extremely sophisticated, far beyond the general sense of hypnosis. Three, in the past twenty-four hours, the one controlling this body was not him, he was just an unlucky guy picked at random.”
“—There’s another possibility, he knows the person behind the scenes.”
“…Then continue the investigation according to these speculations.”
