    Chapter 234 Five Floating 71 Subjective

    The number of police officers dining downstairs has not decreased.

    When Lin Chen and Xing Conglian went downstairs, there was very little movement. They passed through the sultry storeroom covered in mist, opened the plastic curtain, and walked outside the store.

    The summer sun is shining brightly, and the winter night haze has only dissipated a little.

    If you count the last unfinished story, Shen Lian changed her confession four times.

    From the perspective of criminal investigation, Shen Lian was not an adult but not a child at that time. The factors affecting the authenticity of her confession were probably internal physiological factors and external motivational factors. For example, the repression of memory by traumatic events, the failure of memory retrieval, or the confusion of memory by external factors are all internal physiological factors, and external motivational factors are simply because of some motivational reasons that prompted her to make false testimony.

    Lin Chen sat down beside the small flower bed outside the store, and did not answer the question immediately, but said to Chao Dynasty, "Are the dumplings we ordered still in the store, can I go get them?"

    "Ah! Brother Achen, do you want to eat outside? It's too much sun, and there's still ashes." Chao Dynasty shuddered, as if he suddenly woke up from the gloomy atmosphere just now.

    Lin Chen looked at the police cars whizzing past from time to time and said, "You don't need to remind me again."

    Xing Conglian kicked the dynasty: "Hurry up and do it, who questioned your qualifications."

    Dynasty was very depressed and ran back to the store. Xing Conglian also sat down, and the shade of the tree was not very dense, so most of their bodies were bathed in the scorching sunlight.

    Xing Cong Company sighed: "What is this called?"

    "Actually, when you ask this question, you can already feel what kind of thing it is." Lin Chen said.

    "So, why did Shen Lian revise the testimony repeatedly and pester the old wanderer's death again and again?" Xing Conglian leaned his head against the tree trunk and asked as if he didn't know anything.

    "Obviously, Shen Lian is very paranoid, but the reason she did it is not because she is paranoid, Shen Lian's problem is obviously much more serious than this. She is good at lying, and is used to deceiving others with lies to achieve the purpose of manipulating others to achieve her own wishes. ." Lin Chen tilted his head slightly and looked at Xing Conglian.

    "Reminds me of Li Jingtian."

    "The people we have to face are the same kind of people from the beginning, aren't they?"

    "Continue." Xing Conglian said, "Based on your analysis, what happened that night, and what purpose did Shen Lian achieve?"

    "What she wants to achieve, of course, is to protect her personal interests." Lin Chen said, "Of course you will ask why she didn't tell the police the truth directly, but chose a very roundabout way to correct her eyewitness testimony little by little. That's of course because the truth is against her personal interests, and she chose to hide the truth for her own sake."

    Xing Conglian asked, "Then why did Xiao Shenlian go to the police uncle?"

    "Because of concealing the truth, it is not in her personal interest to let the people she hates go unpunished."

    "It seems that the evil and evil in human nature are fighting each other, pushing people to a worse level." Xing Conglian said, and took out a cigarette.

    "Your statement is very consistent with the life experience of most sociopaths." Lin Chen brought the topic back to the right track, "but no matter how many times Shen Lian changes his testimony, we can use certain techniques to separate the truth and lies. ." Lin Chen shook the dossier in his hand.

    When Lin Chen finished saying this, Dynasty happened to come out of the store with a disposable lunch box. The young man stood under the plastic roller blind and grinned at them, making everything feel warm.

    Soon, though, Dynasty was caught up in the heavy workload that was coming.

    SVA is one such procedure for evaluating the authenticity of statements, which is based on the assumption that memory statements derived from real experience are different in content and quality from statements based on creation or fantasy. Although it is often used to determine the veracity of testimony, it requires a face-to-face structured interview with Shen Lian, but now is not the time to pay attention to these standard procedures. With the record of the old Bian's confession to Shen Lian, it can barely reach The goal of separating truth from lies.

    Wang Dynasty squatted by the flower bed, turned on the computer, Lin Chen turned to the first page of the confession, and said to Wang Dynasty: "We divide the events described by Shen Lian into several parts, and use the standard basis for the corresponding content of these confessions. Content analysis, using the scoring method to calculate the truth and falsehood in it.”

    Dynasty's eyes lit up: "It's so scientific, I like it!"

    Lin Chen turned to the first page: "First of all, all of Shen Lian's testimony are obviously unorganized narratives, she first recounted the core event 'Chen Jianguo killed the old tramp', and then went back to the beginning to narrate what happened at that time . Victims of sexual assault tend to present in disorganized and incoherent ways.”

    Dynasty paused at the time: "What the hell, Shen Lian was sexually assaulted??"

    "Since you mentioned this, let's look at Shen Lian's description of the main triggering event in the case." Lin Chen said.

    Dynasty nodded vigorously.

    "In the second version of the testimony, Shen Lian described the intercourse between Chen Jianguo and Li Wanru. 'The two were leaning against the wall, not knowing what they were doing, Chen Jianguo took off his pants, and Li Wanru was moaning'. In the third edition, this testimony became 'The girl told Chen Jianguo to go away, but Chen Jianguo covered her mouth tightly and laughed. The girl's trousers were unbuttoned and she cried.'" Lin Chen calmly said, "The latter has more descriptions of the interaction between the victim and the victim than the former, and it can be judged as relatively true, with a score of 1."

    "Why is it 1 point instead of 2 points!" Dynasty was puzzled.

    "Because it wasn't her eyewitness testimony, she said she saw Chen Jianguo do those things to girls, but the perspective is subjective."

    Wang Dynasty turned off the computer: "Chen Jianguo is the person who molested Shen Lian??? Why did Shen Lian not call the police or something!"

    "Because there is no evidence." Lin Chen shook his head, "Let's evaluate her next words. Regarding the details of the old tramp interrupting Chen Jianguo's intention to sexually assault the girl. Shen Lian said that she was very scared, but fortunately the old tramp came. Putting down his burden of picking up garbage, he rushed towards Chen Jianguo like a god descending. The old man's face was dirty and he smelled like leftovers, but he felt very safe." Lin Chen paused and continued, "In this testimony, there are many details including the sense of smell, and many contents including her subjective psychological description, 2 points. The old man stopped Chen Jianguo's actions and saved her."

    "So Chen Jianguo didn't succeed because the old tramp saved Shen Lian?" Chao said, "Shen Lian wasn't really hurt, so she didn't tell anyone that Chen Jianguo was going to hurt her that night?"

    Lin Chen lowered his eyes: "Actually, I really hope that she didn't tell anyone that Chen Jianguo wanted to molest her that day, and I don't want her to find out that no matter how many times she said it, no one believed it, so in the end She modified her testimony when confronting the police."

    While speaking, Lin Chen felt an extra weight on his shoulders, and Xing Conglian put his hand on his shoulder: "Don't think too much."

    Lin Chen nodded and continued: "The most crucial point is now, how did the old tramp die, I will tell the result directly. Shen Lian mentioned that there are many neighbors watching the dispute between the two, here is the True. Chen Jianguo deliberately seeks vengeance and revenge on the old homeless to kill people. It is difficult to judge. Chen Jianguo accidentally pushes down the old homeless. But in all the results, one thing is true. She did see the old homeless that night. 'corpse'."

    "So we can't judge whether Chen Jianguo committed murder?" Xing Conglian asked.

    "It should be said, I can't judge this from Shen Lian's testimony. I tend to think that she only knew the result of the old man's death, but did not witness the process."

    Xing Conglian touched his chin and said, "This is more reasonable. The old tramp and Chen Jianguo had an argument, and the neighbors came out to watch when they heard the news. When this kind of thing happened, the adults would definitely drive the child back into the house. So Shen Lian doesn't know who killed the old homeless man, so he can only follow his own inference and think that the murderer is Chen Jianguo...".

    Lin Chen continued: "Therefore, there is also an explanation for why Shen Lian was very excited when she learned the real time of the old man's death. She thought that the old man died, but in fact the other party did not die on the spot, but lay a few times in the cold rain. hours, and finally died."

    When Lin Chen finished saying this, Xing Conglian didn't say anything else, as if they were very consonant, they looked at each other and let all the inferences come to an end, and no one was willing to ask the next question.

    However, at that moment, they all forgot that the dynasty was here, and the youthful youth did not have such a keen sense of these ugly and dark things as they did.

    "Come on, do the residents of Xiaolin Lane think they can't be saved? It's too cruel, why!"

    Lin Chen raised his hand and wanted to rub the top of the young man's hair, but he didn't press it because Xing Conglian took his hand.

    There are police officers coming and going, but when Xing Conglian wants to do something, it is of course impossible to pay attention to the eyes around him.

    So, Xing Conglian took his hand like this and answered the Dynasty's question for him: "Because, all the residents of Xiaolin Lane are murderers."

    Xing Conglian's voice was low and hoarse, with compassion.

    "Yeah, of course they are all murderers!" Chao shouted, but when he spoke the last syllable, he stopped abruptly.

    Xing Conglian patted the young man's head with his other hand: "Just now you found so many files about Xiaolin Lane for us, but you didn't read them, and there are many complaints about the old tramp. Well, the old tramp, He likes to sing in the middle of the night and yell into the air, the simple house he lives in often stinks, often frightens passing children, and even has a bad history of smashing residents' windows with bricks when he gets emotional. Imagine if we How do you feel when there is such a person living near the house, even the police can't control it?"

    Although the sunshine was still the same, with Xing Conglian's narration, Lin Chen only felt that the surroundings were gradually getting colder. The wet and cold atmosphere of the southern winter nights resurfaced.

    That day, Shen Lian was driven back to the house, no matter what the little girl said before, these adults didn't believe it.

    One is the neighbor's eldest brother who has a good reputation and is always helpful, and the other is an old homeless man with mental problems. When the two have an argument, all the neighbors know how to stand in line. Except for the parties, no one knows what happened at that time, but there is only one possibility for everyone to agree on their confessions. These people have become a community of destiny. Perhaps Chen Jianguo pushed the old homeless man down, or Li Wanru pushed him down, or maybe even the elderly and nosy grandma next door became the murderer. No one knows who really did it. When he was overwhelmed, the old man had already fallen in a pool of blood.

    The water in the river stinks and is as black as ink.

    People will start blaming each other and shirking the blame, but no matter what the debate, no one can tell who is really doing it.

    These people start to keep silent, and at this time, the most powerful people will express their opinions.

    He would say: Since everyone hates this old man so much, and now it's unclear who did it, then let's break up. I will call the police tomorrow morning, and everyone insists that the old man fell on his own, and we are all sleeping, so it's fine not knowing what happened.

    This is just a proposal. With a proposal, there must be a choice, and the next choice is too human nature.

    But countless psychological studies have proved that under huge social pressure, people will only choose to conform.

    Someone agrees with the option of letting everyone sever ties, and as a result, no one makes the choice to live on for this annoying old bum with mental problems.

    Chao Dynasty grabbed Xing Conglian's trouser legs, his face was very ugly, and he even seemed to cry: "But I won't let him die in the cold rain just because I hate such an old man!"

    "Even if you accidentally knocked him down, you must bear legal responsibility and high medical expenses." Lin Chen inserted the conversation between Dynasty and Xing Conglian.

    "Yes!" Dynasty said firmly.

    The shadow of the tree fell on the young man's face, so those bright spots were like tears.

    "So." Lin Chen wiped what might not be tears under the boy's eyes, and said to him, "You are a very good child, there are still many people like you, don't be too sad."
