three in the morning

Ansan District Bureau Criminal Police Brigade

The first to third floors were brightly lit, and everyone in the serious crime team was working overtime.

In order to arrest the suspect, the highway section from s city to x town was blocked overnight. After the suspect Cheng Zhou fled to the rest stop in Yangjiang town, he abandoned the car in the parking lot of the rest stop, and then used the female wig that had been hidden in the vanity box. , went to the bathroom to change clothes, and then took a long-distance truck driver to leave the rest station as a woman.

Due to the heavy traffic flow at the rest station, the lighting facilities at night were not as good as during the day. It took the police a few minutes to capture the female passenger who was suspected of Cheng Zhou on the surveillance camera. After that, they chased for more than two hours. At the exit, when the suspect Cheng Zhou planned to repeat the same trick, he personally intercepted the suspect.

The suspect is now being held in an interrogation room. The police station was full of reporters, and tens of millions of Zheng Xiaowen's fans reported new news in real time on Weibo, and countless pairs of eyes were watching the latest progress of the case.

From the Anshan District Bureau to the director, down to the young police officers who just graduated, they are all waiting for the next interrogation. The social impact brought by the celebrity effect is unpredictable. If Zheng Xiaowen is still alive, but the police rescue is not timely. If an accident happens, then it is conceivable what kind of public opinion pressure the police will face next.

In other words, arrest is only the first step, and it is the most critical to find out the whereabouts of Wen Peng and Zheng Xiaowen as soon as possible.

They found Wen Peng's car in an alley near Wen Peng's house. According to the surveillance footage, Wen Peng and Zheng Xiaowen drove the car to the alley and got off. The last time they appeared in the surveillance was 6:50 in the morning. It's a pity that there is a blind spot for surveillance, and the next scene of Wen Peng and Zheng Xiaowen could not be tracked. Several artificial lakes in the city and suburbs have been searched, but there is still no news.

Jiang Chengyi went under the faucet and washed his face with cold water to dispel the tiredness. After returning, he took a sip of the coffee made by Xiao Zhou, and then said, "Cheng Zhou's mentality is different from ordinary people, I guess he will not Please explain the crime happily, we have to think carefully about how the next trial will unfold, and everyone can brainstorm and say what they think."

Old Liu is a relatively senior police officer in the team. He has been engaged in criminal investigation for many years and has already mastered a wealth of interrogation skills and experience. Seeing that Jiang Chengyi and Lao Qin have been rushing the road for several hours in a row, he is very tired now, so he volunteered: " Team Jiang, why don't I go and eat this hard bone."

At this time, Lao Qin happened to send Dr. Yu in.

Hearing this, Yu Zheng politely stopped him: "Officer Liu, Zheng Xiaowen is the last victim of Cheng Zhou's series of crimes, with his criminal style, even if he is imprisoned, he will let this case follow him. The idea came to a successful conclusion. I have a hunch that the interrogation process will become very difficult if psychological means are not used. Let me make two offenses: 1. If you want to find the breakthrough of the criminal as soon as possible, the interrogation process will be slightly different from the normal process. So I hope that Team Jiang and I will lead the interrogation thinking. 2. The interrogation scene is limited to five people."

After thinking for a few seconds, the director made the decision.

Jiang Chengyi said, "I, Dr. Yu and Lao Liu went in to try the prisoners, and Xiao Zhou was taking notes on the side."

On the way to the underground interrogation room, Xiao Zhou thought about the recorder and was very puzzled. He wanted to ask Jiang Chengyi, but when he saw Jiang Chengyi's face was bad, he turned to Yu Zheng: "Dr. Yu, if Wen Peng is a simple victim, How did Cheng Zhou get him to record that recording willingly?"

Yu Zheng smiled: "Xiao Zhou, would you like to play a game with me?"

"game?"

Yu Zheng had a stack of cards in his hand, and as he walked, he handed it to Xiao Zhou: "If you can repeat the words on these cards within three minutes, I will copy my example of criminal psychological analysis in the past year. One copy for you, of course, the names of the relevant parties on these documents have been withheld."

Xiao Zhou had the idea of ​​learning from Yu Zheng for a long time. Hearing this, he was overjoyed: "That's great."

He took the card and repeated the line on the first card: "VICAP cannot be used to apply for a criminal profile assessment."

the second one.

The third.

At the tenth card, Yu Zheng reminded him: "There are forty cards left, but the game is over in just one minute."

Xiao Zhou's scalp tightened, and he didn't have time to read the contents of the card carefully.

When he was repeating the penultimate picture, Yu Zheng pinched off the timer in his phone: "It's time."

Xiao Zhou sighed in frustration: "I knew this game would not be so easy."

Yu Zhengkuan smiled softly: "Although I failed, don't worry, Xiao Zhou. I will pass some examples of psychoanalysis to you, but they are only for your own learning and cannot be shared. Now you come and listen, what is recorded in this recorder. Fragments are not your own voice."

As he spoke, he took out a voice recorder from his pocket, clicked the play button, and Xiao Zhou's voice popped out: "I don't want to be a police officer."

Xiao Yi was stunned: "When was this recorded?" There was no such content in the card just now.

"It was recorded when I interrupted you and reminded you that time was running out. It's a very simple mental trick, but there are four prerequisites for playing this game: First, the conditions I offer are very tempting enough to Pique your competitiveness for a short period of time. Second, I need to know how to interrupt and further strengthen your sense of urgency at the right time to provide an opportunity for me to cut into the recording. Third, and most importantly, you have to be very Trust me. Fourth, I need to go through repeated practice beforehand.”

Xiao Zhou turned the card forward and saw that it said "I don't want to be well tea."

Old Liu turned his head and said, "Cheng Zhou has long wanted to find Wen Peng as a substitute. Otherwise, how could each step be designed in advance."

As he approached the interrogation room, Yu Zheng's speech speed subconsciously accelerated: "Judging from Cheng Zhou's college entrance examination results, he is not only a genius in the art major, but his performance in cultural courses far exceeds that of the art students of the same period. After graduating from college, he It only took him three months to master very good makeup skills, and he changed his career smoothly. He became a hit in the circle that year. Therefore, don't underestimate any criminal, at least Cheng Zhou is definitely One of the high-IQ criminals I've seen in recent years."

Colleagues at the door of the interrogation room opened the door and a group of people entered.

The cold-colored LED lights were turned on in the room, and the makeup and wig on Cheng Zhou's face were removed, leaving him with a pure and white face, which made him look more childish. According to Yu Zheng's request, he was connected to a monitor, and every change in his heart rate and blood pressure could be faithfully recorded by this device.

He didn't have the slightest nervousness or depression that ordinary prisoners usually have on his face, but closed his eyes and rested his mind, but when he heard the footsteps behind him, he immediately turned his head to look at Jiang Chengyi, and then, like a child who saw his beloved toy, he immediately showed a close Naive smile.

Jiang Chengyi didn't respond to the caressing gaze from Cheng Zhou, pulled out the chair and sat down, threw the file on the table, then leaned back on the chair and looked directly at Cheng Zhou.

Xiao Zhou's psychological quality is far inferior to Jiang Chengyi's, and when he saw Cheng Zhou's expression, he immediately got goosebumps.

Jiang Chengyi replayed the recording left by Wen Peng, breaking the silence in the interrogation room: "Cheng Zhou, you used Wen Peng's mouth to set a 24-hour deadline for the police, and you are playing the last game with the police in this way. a game?"

Out of a subtle psychological discomfort, Jiang Chengyi intentionally replaced the word "Jiang Chengyi" with "police", which caused Cheng Zhou's dissatisfaction. He pouted slightly and looked at Jiang Chengyi unhappily.

Yu Zheng carefully captured every subtle expression of Cheng Zhou and observed it for a while. He looked at his watch and said with a smile, "It's 3:50 in the morning, 22 hours have passed since Wenpeng and Zheng Xiaowen disappeared, I guess , they are all still alive, but Zheng Xiaowen, as your last prey, will die within two hours according to your established ritual, right?"

Cheng Zhou then looked directly at Yu Zheng, and seeing that the other party was a short and fat man, he quickly averted his eyes and denied: "I don't understand what you are talking about, I'm just talking to my assistant Xiao Wei today. Just a joke, I don't know why you brought me here, you are bullying me just like Jiang sir."

This time, not only Xiao Zhou, but also Lao Liu was so disgusted that his back was numb.

Yu Zheng looked at the monitor next to Cheng Zhou very calmly: "Half an hour ago, your heart rate fluctuated between 68-75 beats/min, and your blood pressure fluctuated between 112-120/65-75. Your heart rate soars to 107 when you hear two hours left, which is a sign of your sympathetic nervous system getting excited—"

Cheng Zhou looked at Yu Zheng without any disturbance.

"You pursue the pleasure of this life that you dominate over time, and the closer you get to the time you set, the more exciting you feel, which means that we only have two hours left to save these two If you kill them beforehand, the recording you left will be meaningless. Only when the victim is still alive can you experience the excitement of competing with Team Jiang. Cheng Zhou , you have known Team Jiang many years ago, and challenging him will give you an unprecedented sense of satisfaction, am I right?"

Cheng Zhou pressed his tongue against one cheek in his mouth and looked at Jiang Chengyi very lightly, but remained silent.

At this moment, a WeChat message came in from Jiang Chengyi's mobile phone, and when he clicked it, it read: "Jiang team, all the artificial lakes in the city and the suburbs have been searched, but nothing has been found. Cheng Zhou, Zheng Xiaowen, and all properties under Wen Peng's name. I've searched all over, including relatives and friends' homes, but no one is alive or dead."

Jiang Chengyi put down his phone, checked the time, it was four o'clock, and there was one hour and fifty minutes left. He didn't let his anxiety show, he just opened the file, stared at one of the pictures of a woman, and said lightly, "How about we? Let's start with your mother Li Xiaolan."

Hearing these three words, Cheng Zhou's dark eyes remained unwavering.

But Jiang Chengyi gave Yu Zheng a wink, took the woman's photo from the file, put it in front of the whiteboard, and turned on the LED light.
