"But take a closer look at these pictures." Xiao Chen listed the unreasonable parts one by one. "The so-called roster in Principal Guo's hand is actually a student file. Everyone knows that we didn't bring everyone's files with us this time, and we didn't make such a file when we got here. So the information you see here must have been supplemented by Chu Ying according to his previous memories and then added to this dream.
Look at this room, it is Chairman Guo's office. The time on the clock is 4:20 pm. The sun shines in from the west window. At first glance, there is nothing wrong. But you have to know that Chairman Guo's office window faces east. It is impossible for the sunset to shine into his office at this time. Even if the time is wrong, the sun is rising, and the light should be coming in from the front. Therefore, this office scene should also be constructed by Chu Ying's brain combining several materials.
Also, did you see the beeswax necklace on Chairman Guo's hand? He donated it to the school as a commodity reserve in exchange for food not long before I went to Suero. He couldn't have carried that necklace with him during the period when he was planning the underground factory.
After listening to Xiao Chen's analysis, the others nodded. Mo Lanxin said, "We were really careless. We didn't notice so many details and were still worried about Principal Guo. Xiao Chen, it's great that you can prove Principal Guo's innocence in this way."
"So, his memory was modified by someone?" Chang Lin, who was also at the scene, asked knowingly.
"I guess so. But the person who modified his memory actually revealed so many flaws. I think there are two possibilities." Xiao Chen said while his eyes moved among the crowd, "Either this person doesn't take this matter seriously, which is very unlikely; or this person's ability is limited and he can't carefully control the content of the memory. Or even he is an amateur and just used scrolls or potions to achieve this effect. I have to say that this person is a poor guy with high expectations and low skills, and his ability does not match his ambition."
Peng Ziyi asked: "Is it possible to break the false memories here and find the real memories that are covered up?"
"I guess the footage of him communicating with those people may have been erased. But we can trace back the footage of his memory being modified. And it is impossible to erase the footage of modified memory, because no matter how many times the memory is erased, the last footage of modified memory is always there. Unless he himself is not aware of this process. His memory was modified unknowingly." Xiao Chen said.
"In that case, let's try again," said Peng Ziyi.
Xiao Chen was still connected to everyone's consciousness and began to guide Chu Ying to recall his modified memories.
However, this time there were only some completely blurred images that flickered vaguely in everyone's mind. Until the end, these images dissipated and no complete image remained.
"What's going on?" Li Mingde asked.
"I'm afraid that when the image was modified, he really didn't realize that he was being manipulated. I'll try other scenes and prompts." However, no matter how hard Xiao Chen tried this time, no picture was transmitted to everyone's mind.
Xiao Chen said: "It seems that this is not a good breakthrough point."
But at this time, Chu Ying had exhausted all his energy, foamed at the mouth, and hung his head.
"It seems that he has reached his limit today." Peng Ziyi said, "If the committee has no objection, we can continue tomorrow."
Li Mingde asked Xiao Chen, "Xiao Xiao, to be honest, the committee has concerns about using this method. You see, if it weren't for you, we almost wronged Chairman Guo. I also participated in the first magic interrogation before, and I felt very bad. Do you think the information obtained by this method can be used as evidence?"
"I don't think it's suitable as evidence. But it's very valuable as a clue. You see, I've taken the case one step closer to the truth today through this method." Xiao Chen looked at everyone sincerely and said, "I hope the committee can be more tolerant of new methods. We can solve problems instead of just killing them with one blow."

That night, Peng Ziyi visited Xiao Chen's room again.
Sitting on the sofa, Peng Ziyi asked, "What kind of information can't be made public to everyone and must be discussed in private?"
Xiao Chen said: "I did not tell the whole truth to the members of the committee this afternoon."
"Could it be that you saw more things from that image, but you hid it from everyone?" Peng Ziyi asked.
"No, but I prepared a detective mental magic from the beginning. During the entire interrogation, I was observing the reactions of all committee members. At several key points, one person's mental reaction was very different from the others. When I laughed at the person who rewrote Chu Ying's memory, his mental fluctuations were particularly obvious."
"who?"
"Chang Lin."
"It's him." Peng Ziyi slammed his fist on the table. "I've been keeping an eye on him for a while, but I haven't found any strong evidence. However, he has been active in all aspects of the school and has connections with many people and many things."
"Later, Chu Ying fell down with foam at the mouth, not because his mental power reached its limit, but because I discovered Chang Lin's abnormality and injected elements guided by Chang Lin into his mind. As a result, he became extremely mentally unstable. The images he fed back to me were all trivial and chaotic. Some of them were mixed with Guo Qian's image. I guess this is related to the destruction of Chang Lin's memory in his brain."
"Why didn't you just reveal this at the time?"
"Because what I got was not direct evidence. There are many reasons why the images in my mind were not clear. Chang Lin's mental fluctuations were just my one-sided statement. Even if Chang Lin was the one who modified Chu Ying's memory, there is no way to prove that he was the mastermind behind the underground factory."
"That's right."
"And he set up this trap in advance, almost killing three birds with one stone. It not only hindered the use of mental magic in the investigation and prevented us from prying into his mind. It also concealed his position and role in the underground factory, and it may have hit Guo Qian's prestige in the school. I'm not sure if they have any other plans for this matter. Instead of jumping out in a hurry and alerting the enemy, it is better to paralyze him temporarily. Give you a chance to investigate in depth."
Peng Ziyi nodded slowly and said, "Now that I have locked onto the target, I will definitely not let him escape."
