Capítulo 53: Psychological Implication
Upon hearing their questions, Kang Shuwei took a deep drag of his cigarette, exhaling the smoke as he spoke, "I was wrong."
"My perspective was too narrow, causing me to miss this crucial clue."
"Now we know that Li Xuan's choice to come to the Aerospace University wasn't random but purposeful. So how could this biennial Aerospace Dynamics competition not be prepared for?"
"Moreover, with Li Xuan posing as Lin Yi, who coincidentally happens to be an aerospace dynamics teacher, how could this be something that happened on a whim?"
His voice was low, but it struck their ears like a thunderbolt! Everyone involuntarily gasped in shock! Their eyes widened, and though they were reluctant to believe it, this ironclad truth was laid out plainly before them!
Following Kang Shuwei's train of thought, their minds were also contemplating everything Li Xuan had done. After thorough consideration, there were no loopholes. Though these events were incredulous, they had indeed occurred!
Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and they almost forgot to breathe...
After a while, Sun Ting's trembling voice broke the silence.
"So, you're saying... not on September 1st..."
"But on August 15th, Li Xuan had already planned all of this?"
Sun Ting's question refocused everyone's attention on Kang Shuwei.
Kang Shuwei nodded in affirmation.
His nod left Dong Yang sitting down on the lawn. He still couldn't believe it, couldn't comprehend it. What kind of mind could predict events 35 days ahead?
Kang Shuwei took another harsh drag of his cigarette and continued, "Between August 3rd and August 15th, Li Xuan finalized his plan, initiating its execution on August 15th."
"It was when he appeared in the surveillance, leaving behind traces for us to find."
"Between August 15th and August 31st, he studied the way of speaking and behavior of returnees to disguise himself."
"Of course, in addition to this, he also studied various foundational courses from universities."
"At the same time, he prepared various documents, forging his identity."
"In just sixteen days, he had everything ready..."
Kang Shuwei paused briefly and then added, "In fact, it's very likely he started on August 3rd, or even earlier..."
"After all, when he was at Zhonghai, he already began to learn about Jinling..."
"Most of the conclusions I drew in the principal's office were wrong."
"The only correct one, perhaps, was 'The airport bus is a decoy.'"
"Though he was going to the airport, the airport bus was indeed a decoy, meant to confirm that Li Xuan's destination wasn't the airport..."
"But that doesn't matter now..."
"Now, the most important part comes."
He paused for a moment before supplementing, "The most important part for us."
"Starting from September 1st, when Li Xuan arrived at the Aerospace University, he has been laying the groundwork for the trap he prepared for us."
Upon hearing Kang Shuwei's words, everyone's mouths hung slightly open.
Even though Sun Ting had vague thoughts in her mind, when she heard Kang Shuwei's words, she still couldn't contain her astonishment. The air between them seemed to freeze for a few seconds. After those seconds, Ye Gaoyi suddenly spoke up, "Shuwei..."
"Are you saying that Li Xuan going to the train station was actually a false trail he left for us?"
Kang Shuwei nodded, briefly pondering, seemingly organizing his thoughts. Then, he spoke again, "On the first day he entered the school, when he met Principal Gu, Li Xuan mentioned something..."
"He said that if he didn't have this job, he would travel around the country by train."
"That Miss Zhang—Zhang Qian, I think—was particularly impressed by these kinds of words."
"Oh right, and the landlord of his rented room."
"All three of them had a vague impression of Lin Yi, but they all distinctly remembered 'Lin Yi' saying these things..."
"But think about it, do you know what my aspiration is?"
After hearing Kang Shuwei's words, everyone was momentarily stunned and then fell silent.
Indeed, while they saw each other every day, no one knew the real reason behind Captain Kang's unwavering dedication to these complex cases. Their interaction was strictly professional. Even though their relationships had improved during this period of time, they truly didn't know the actual circumstances of Kang Shuwei.
After posing the question, Kang Shuwei paused for two seconds, then smiled and said, "Of course, you wouldn't know, because I wouldn't tell you."
"Not only would I not tell you, but generally speaking, people don't share their inner thoughts with their colleagues."
"Even if they did, because it's unrelated information, those who hear about it wouldn't remember it so clearly."
"And how well do Gu Hanxue and Zhang Qian know 'Lin Yi'?"
Upon hearing Kang Shuwei's words, everyone's expressions stiffened. They exchanged glances, and deep down, they already had answers.
After a brief pause, Kang Shuwei continued, "The so-called clues we've obtained were planted by Li Xuan."
"He mentioned these during their first meeting, and they must have been memorable responses or things he repeated multiple times."
"This is... psychological suggestion."
"Not only did it enrich the persona Li Xuan crafted for himself as a returning overseas student, but it also fed us incorrect information."
"Killing two birds with one stone."
Listening to Kang Shuwei's words, the others didn't know what expression to put on their faces to confront this shocking reality.
Li Xuan—indeed, he had planned all of this in advance!
He had taken action even before August 15th!
Kang Shuwei's somber voice continued immediately, "These psychological suggestions from Li Xuan wouldn't have been given only to those individuals. However, these people were the ones we'd inevitably question."
"Yet the purpose of these suggestions was to hint at us receiving this information."
"Making us think that Li Xuan would definitely go to the train station!"
"In this situation, our preconceived notions collected a plethora of hints that Li Xuan would go to the train station. Then, we found the mark Li Xuan had drawn on the map."
"But this mark was found in the downstairs trash can, while the destroyed hard drive wasn't."
"So, this is the information Li Xuan wanted us to obtain."
"He knew that if we followed normal logic, we wouldn't think he'd choose to escape from the airport. So, he presented these clues to us, making us believe he would definitely escape from the train station."
