Straight men fall! Counterattack at the end of the year! Suspense criminal investigation]
(Sexual frigidity and sanity, the first one·Police officer)* (The pervert, the top pick in the second year, The prisoner's attack)
On the bank of the Yellow River, corpses were dismembered.
Zhang Zhuoyue, the county's number one scholar, was identified on the spot.
The deceased's son collapsed in public: "He imprisoned me! He killed my mother!"
The crowd of onlookers was excited.
No one was surprised - on the day of the murder, the deceased had humiliated Zhang Zhuoyue at a parent-teacher meeting, calling him "pervert" and "disgusting".
A "pervert" who kills those who humiliate him.
How reasonable.
But detective Li Qiaodong didn't believe it.
He is an elite from the provincial capital, and he is used to seeing the evil in people's hearts. He thought the investigation would be like any other - calm, objective, unscathed.
He was wrong.
The deeper the investigation, the more doubts arise.
Homosexual magazines were found in the boy's home.
Traces of captivity were found in the cellar.
The murderer, who was identified by everyone, refused to cooperate from beginning to end. He only looked at Li Qiaodong and begged him to "save himself" - like a hunter looking at his prey, like a believer looking at a god.
Li Qiaodong told himself: I am just investigating the case.
There is 24-hour personal surveillance, and two folding beds are so close that you can hear each other's breathing late at night.
He began to suffer from insomnia.
Not because the case was complicated, but because the young man whispered in the dark: "Officer Li, do you also think I am a pervert?"
He should have said "yes".
He opened his mouth, but nothing came out.
At that moment he realized - something was wrong.
He's a straight man.
For thirty years, he had only loved women.
But the way Zhang Zhuoyue looked at him made him doubt himself for the first time.
And what's even more terrifying is——
He didn't know if he was looking for the truth, or if he was being dragged into the abyss step by step by a child who had just grown up.
Intent: This is a story about "how the disciplined person faces his true self". Using the shell of criminal investigation suspense, we peel off the two sides of "love" and "control" and ask whether a person has a chance to become himself again after being shaped.
