Chapter 1501 Spreading Sweetness with Mr. Forensic Doctor 23
Rose: God can help you get rid of it. If you believe in it, you will always be free to choose. The god who controls death is always watching this rotten world.
Jinchen rushed into the meeting room in a hurry, his head was about to explode.
"What's going on?! So many people committing suicide so early in the morning?!"
Wei Yan was typing away on the keyboard until sparks were flying, and everyone in the conference room was in a state of panic.
"It was Rose! She suddenly posted this at 5am this morning, and then many accounts responded collectively by posting pictures of suicide and severe self-harm... OMG, it made my hair stand on end."
Duan Xiaobai quickly explained the situation to Jinchen, and mercilessly threw all the collection of pictures that he had saved for analysis directly into Jinchen's face.
Jinchen took a breath of cold air.
Yi Tian weakly slammed the door of the conference room, "In just one morning... we received three serious suicide cases, all related to the post. Although we followed the list as ordered by Team Jin, we did not expect a large number of suicides."
Yi Tian sighed again after he finished speaking, "According to Xiao Wei'er's analysis, not counting those who committed suicide, there were a total of fifteen accounts that attempted suicide this morning. Four of them succeeded, five were stopped by our people after they were about to commit suicide, and the other six were discovered by their families and sent to the hospital in time."
Ke Xiu, who followed him, looked even more listless, as if all his energy had been used to deal with the family members.
"Those who succeeded in committing suicide... were very cruel to themselves, and after asking their family members, the tools they used to commit suicide were all their favorite things when they were alive."
Whether it was mass suicide or assisted suicide, it seemed that everyone was strictly abiding by the invisible iron rules of this website. Ling Gungun was even screaming in Jinchen's mind, vowing to find the hateful administrator behind it!
Wei Yan said slowly: "The rest of the accounts are under monitoring. They have not responded to Rose's call, but they are still shown as all online... Team Jin, they are all in this city. Maybe the administrator behind the scenes is also here."
The geographical locations of the victims are also very strange. The website can gather people from various cities, and City X is definitely not the city with the largest number of depressed people in China.
Jinchen was browsing all the case information at the fastest speed in his life, when he heard Duan Xiaobai ask in confusion: "This group of people may have joined the website to find happiness and a utopia where they can talk, but I don't understand..."
Duan Xiaobai looked at Jinchen and Wu Lin at the same time, "Does everyone believe in the so-called gods that Rose talked about? There is not a single materialist among this group of people."
This idea was very tricky. Jinchen stopped flipping through the information and went to look at the rose post on the web page.
A few seconds later, a deep voice sounded in the conference room.
“Pascal’s Wager.”
The slight doubt in Wu Lin's eyes was answered. He looked at Jinchen immediately and understood.
Duan Xiaobai exclaimed, and raised his hand to indicate: "What is Pascal's Wager?"
Jin Chen said a bunch of things calmly: "If God exists and you believe in him, then you will be saved. If God exists and you don't believe in him, then you will be cursed. If God does not exist, belief will not bring any harm."
Duan Xiaobai looked at Wu Lin again.
Wu Lin: "It is better to believe it exists than to believe it does not exist."
Duan Xiaobai suddenly realized!
It just so happens that this group of desperate humans gathered on the website are in desperate need of salvation... or some other kind of liberation. As long as they believe in the existence of gods, they can die without any burden and be freed from this rotten world, then their beliefs will have no consequences.
Jinchen: "It seems that Rose's status in the eyes of this group of people is no less than that of the administrator."
Unlike Jinchen who focused on investigating the survivors, Wu Lin paid special attention to the four people who had successfully committed suicide and even personally investigated their various information - the reason was that each of the dead had a skeleton butterfly placed on their chest.
The manner of death is also very intriguing.
Those who committed suicide by cutting their wrists had a thorn inserted into their wrist blood vessels. The rope used for hanging was tested and confirmed to have been soaked in formalin mixed with rose juice... Everyone's death was very beautiful, at least more thoroughly prepared than Zhou Ming and Cui Ju's death rituals.
As a potential criminal who has not yet succeeded, Wu Lin cannot even find the flaws in this ritual. Rather than ordinary suicide, it is more like a... sacrificial ritual.
"Sacrificial ceremony?" Jin Chen heard him murmur, "Why do you feel that way?"
"Captain Jin, have you ever read books on the black magic of death?" Wu Lin turned to ask him with interest.
"...I don't have this habit." I can perform a magic trick for you on the spot.
Jinchen shrugged and motioned for him to elaborate. Duan Xiaobai and others also pricked up their ears, hoping to get some information to solve the case.
"The gods who represent darkness... can also be called demons. They usually live in hell. If they want to return to the human world, they need to be summoned by their believers."
Wu Lin closed the information in his hand, stared vaguely at the ground, and sorted out the thoughts in his mind while speaking.
"The devil's followers usually regard him as an omnipotent god, and every summoning of a devil requires sacrifice and tokens. The process is roughly as follows: preach the devil's greatness to attract believers, select a few 'sheep' from the new believers to test whether the devil is willing to come to the world, and once the devil's willingness is confirmed, the sacrifice ceremony begins."
"Fanatical believers believe that summoning the devil can make them become trusted followers, so the sacrifice ceremony is usually performed collectively by fanatical believers. After the devil descends to the world, it will fulfill the believers' wishes. At this time, the remaining believers will seal the token again and invite the devil to return to hell."
Wu Lin was very skilled in talking about this kind of thing, and Jinchen guessed that reading such books was also a common hobby among perverts.
Jin Chen pulled his cold fingers over, rubbed them for a few times, and said thoughtfully: "If the website is compared to the sacrificial ritual you just mentioned... then the deaths of Zhou Ming and Cui Ju are the 'sheep' that test the devil's will, and this large-scale suicide is a sacrificial ritual."
"Wouldn't the next step be for the devil to return to the human world? Who is the devil? The administrator?"
After all, the website administrator may very well be a ghost butterfly, so he must be extra cautious.
Duan Xiaobai quickly followed their thoughts, "That sudden sacrificial ceremony... couldn't it be because Song Meng, the third person who was originally going to commit suicide, was stopped by us? Doesn't that mean..."
Yu Jue stood up in shock: "Rose has gone to find Nightmare! Only she can be sure that Nightmare is not dead!"
But who could enter Song Meng's clinic or home under their noses and under the strict supervision of criminal police?
It was just like the photo they had taken that day for no reason.
"Generally speaking, representatives of believers do not need to personally select the 'sheep'." Wu Lin's gaze shifted to the fingers held by Jinchen, and his eyes were less numb and cold than before.
"Not all believers will move together. Often, they will be scattered in various places, becoming the eyes and ears of the devil."
“But they usually share a common habitat – the church of believers.”
His voice was cold and light, and it made the colleagues in the conference room break out in cold sweats in the early morning.
The fact that the sacrificial ceremony process and the website activities coincide with each other does not seem like a coincidence.
Especially after I found out the quotations from Song Meng during yesterday's interrogation and read them again.
Jinchen, who was focusing on the survivors, found someone who caught his attention.
Coincidentally, the only girl in this mass suicide ceremony happened to be receiving treatment at the same hospital as Gu Huan, and the attending physician was Gu Huan.
"Let's go to Liuhua Hospital." Jinchen picked up Wu Lin who was still in deep thought.
