143: This liar is not simple

“For example: What? Captain, Number 5 almost got exposed. Am I the only one left?”

“Captain, if I go alone now, it’ll be too obvious, and I’ll be discovered. But don’t worry, I have a female classmate here. I’m asking for her opinion, asking her for help. If she pretends to be my girlfriend, there’ll definitely be no problem.”

“Captain, don’t worry, I won’t force her. I’m just asking for her opinion.”

“What? That person is leaving. Captain, don’t worry about it. I’ll follow him even if it means getting recognized.”

Qi Shan talked a lot. Not to mention the girl in the surveillance, even Ye Lin felt a surge of emotion, as if he was fighting a silent battle.

“No wonder this young girl fell for it. This con artist is not simple. Even if he hasn’t studied psychology, he’s a master at manipulating minds,” Ye Lin remarked.

He remembered learning a bit of psychology at the Police Academy, but that subject was too profound and a bit mystical, so he couldn’t remember it.

“Xiao Wang, continue watching the surveillance,” Ye Lin said to Wang Longxin.

Wang Longxin began to look for surveillance from other locations. Ahead was Teaching Building Number 4.

It could be seen that in front of Teaching Building Number 4, the con artist and the girl were walking slowly.

As they walked, occasionally the con artist would stop, tug the girl’s arm, and make her look in a certain direction, as if admiring the scenery.

At first, the girl was a bit unaccustomed and a little resistant when the con artist touched her arm, but later, she slowly started to get used to it. After that, the con artist would occasionally brush against the girl with his body, and she no longer dodged him.

“Constantly touching the body makes the other person familiar with the method, lowering their psychological defenses,” Ye Lin said softly.

Unfortunately, in front of Building Number 4, the con artist still didn’t show his face. Every time he looked at the scenery, his back was to the camera.

Further ahead was a small plaza in the school. It was here that the con artist told the girl that a team member had been exposed, and one of them was injured and had been sent to the hospital.

According to the complainant’s statement, when he told me at the time, I felt my heart was about to burst. It turns out that this world, which seems so peaceful, is guarded by these unsung heroes behind the scenes.

At that time, I especially wanted to do something for the country.

In the surveillance footage, the con artist pressed his earpiece, constantly nodding as if receiving instructions, then said a few words to the girl, and pulled her towards the school gate.

“Creating a scenario where a team member is injured generates a sense of urgency for the girl, making her focus all her attention on saving someone.”

“Look at his hand, he’s already holding the girl’s hand. I estimate the girl herself didn’t feel anything wrong at this point,” Ye Lin said in a deep voice.

Wang Longxin and Qi Shan looked closely, and sure enough, in the latter half of the surveillance, the girl was already naturally holding hands with him and walking quickly.

“Where’s the surveillance at the school gate?” Ye Lin asked.

Wang Longxin pointed to another screen and said, “There’s less surveillance at the school gate. It just shows the two of them coming out, then taking a taxi and leaving.”

Ye Lin glanced at it twice; indeed, there was no effective information.

“Where did they go later? What did the complainant say?”

“Brother Ye, they went to Yunshan Hospital.”

“Let’s go then. There shouldn’t be any more clues here at the school.”

After leaving the school, Ye Lin and his two companions headed straight for Yunshan Hospital.

Yunshan Hospital is a private hospital, not very well-known in Yuezhou, and its location is relatively remote.

“Brother Ye, why do you think they went to Yunshan Hospital instead of Peoples Hospital?” Wang Longxin asked while driving.

“I’m not sure. Either the con artist lives nearby, or there are fewer people here,” Ye Lin also didn’t understand why they came here, but he believed the con artist must have his reasons for coming here.

The hospital’s surveillance indeed captured them. After the two got out of the car at the hospital entrance, the con artist pulled the girl aside. From the surveillance, it was clearly visible that the con artist was already very skilled at holding the girl’s hand, and the girl did not resist.

After the two got out of the car, they didn’t immediately enter the hospital but stayed at the entrance.

According to the girl’s statement, the con artist pulled her to the hospital entrance and began to report to his superior. His superior at this time said he couldn’t come to pay the medical expenses and asked the con artist to pay first.

At this point, the con artist said he only had 2000 yuan and was short 5000 yuan, and asked the girl to borrow money. The girl unhesitatingly went to the ATM to withdraw 5000 yuan, without any suspicion.

The con artist directly took the money and rushed into the hospital, telling the girl to wait at the entrance.

After about ten minutes, the con artist came out and told the girl that he had settled his teammate, and also said that the money had been reported to the team and would be returned to her soon.

In fact, what Ye Lin and his team saw from the surveillance was that after the con artist entered the hospital, he went directly into the restroom, stayed there for about ten minutes, and then came out. There was no such thing as delivering money to a teammate.

After leaving the hospital, the con artist thanked the girl and then bid her farewell.

Ye Lin and his team saw from the surveillance that after the two parted ways, the girl really left, but the con artist only pretended to leave.

After the girl walked about ten meters, he suddenly shouted, “What, we’re exposed? The young girl is also exposed? Okay, Captain, we’ll immediately go into hiding.”

His shout also reached the girl, who turned around and saw the con artist running towards her, telling her that they had both been discovered by the enemy and needed to hide, waiting for the captain to find someone to deal with them.

Because this guy’s acting was so convincing, coupled with such a long build-up, the girl didn’t think too much and just followed him, supposedly to find a place to hide.

And according to the girl’s statement, the so-called hiding was actually taking her to a hotel to open a room, and the most shameless part was that he used the girl’s ID card to open the room, saying that this way the enemy wouldn’t find them.

After opening the room, the con artist told the girl that they would be safe after staying one night. To make the girl relax her guard, he even lay on the sofa.

Then he started telling the girl stories, saying he went to the Middle East, to the West, and into the sea to carry out missions, and even flew planes and tanks, fighting against mercenaries from various countries. His stories made the girl’s heart pound, and in her eyes, the con artist became a great hero.

So, in this unique, ambiguous setting, the two naturally became intimate.

The next morning, when the girl woke up, she found that the con artist had already left.

Initially, the girl still held a glimmer of hope, thinking he might have gone on a mission, but the more she thought about it later, the more something felt wrong. Coupled with the fact that the 5000 yuan was truly gone, the girl realized she had been deceived.

Although a bit ashamed, the girl was still brave enough to report it to the police.

After leaving the hospital, Ye Lin and his two companions went to the hotel where they had booked a room, which was right next to Yunshan Hospital.
