Chapter 240 Five Floating 77 Questions
"Consultant Lin, what can I...what can I do?"
Before Lin Chen left just now, he specially ordered him to go down the mountain with him. Li Nuo was both excited and at a loss.
He stood under the small hill, breathing the fresh air around him at a rapid rate, but the nauseating smell of blood still lingered. He didn't even dare to close his eyes, because once he was quiet, the huge fear of death would come back, so he could only desperately follow the person in front, lest he be left behind.
"Help me find a room." Lin Chen was walking to the car at the foot of the mountain when he came, turned his head, and said this.
Li Nuo was stunned for a while, the consultant in front of him seemed to be unaffected by the bloody and inhumane scene before, except for his pale face, there was nothing unusual. But for a few moments, Li Nuo felt that grief was engraved in his bones, and it was nothing if he could easily find a way to express his emotions.
He then took a breath and hurriedly asked, "What kind of room do you want?"
At the same time, the old police officer in the car at the foot of the mountain hurriedly pushed the door down and asked Lin Chen nervously, "Has anyone been caught?"
Lin Chen first shook his head at the old police officer, then turned to him and said, "Whatever you want, it's fine."
Hearing this, the old man seemed to have guessed something, and his face quickly showed a look of horror, and he was also deeply guilty, and his back was bent. Li Nuo didn't know what happened in the middle, but it must not be a good thing.
Just when Li Nuo thought that Lin Chen would greet the old man indifferently and pass by, he was surprised to see Lin Chen stop.
The young police advisor stood in front of the old man, looking tall. He bowed slightly, held the old man's cracked hand with one hand, and patted the other man's back with the other. The power to soothe people's hearts: "Do you remember what I said just now? I'm serious. It's not your fault. There are many people who are responsible for this. It's not your turn yet."
The old man shuddered when he heard the words, and looked up at the top of the mountain, his eyes were cloudy and seemed to be glistening with tears.
After clicking, Lin Chen didn't say anything, he opened the back door of the car, and took out a stack of kraft paper bags from the inside.
Li Nuo noticed that Shen Lian's name was written on the paper bag, and he shuddered again, only to see Lin Chen looking back quickly. That look made him instantly sober. It turned out that when the consultant said to find a room, he meant to find it immediately.
He hurriedly turned back to the mountain, although the surrounding mountain wind was calm, but he became nervous, and the brown blood on the neck of the old man appeared again and again in his mind. But now is not the time. He once again suppressed the desire to vomit. Looking around, the old lady who had fanned the wind under the tree had disappeared. Maybe she went up the mountain to watch the fun.
In his memory, there was a hut where villagers stacked thatch and debris in this place, so he ran to the path on the right and saw that house. But unlike my memory, this simple brick hut was so dilapidated that it didn't even have a door.
He turned around and asked Lin Chen again, "I'd better find a resident's house."
Lin Chen shook his head: "You can do it here."
Li Nuo didn't know what Lin Chen was going to do, but he rushed into the room first, and then took a half step back due to the foul smell of thatch inside.
With a snap, a yellowish incandescent lamp was lit, but the light could only illuminate a small piece of broken masonry ground, and the entire space still looked gray.
Lin Chen didn't know when he was standing at the door, his expression was calm, and he put his hand down from the switch on the wall. For a moment, Li Nuo felt that the dilapidated and leaking house in front of him was the true portrayal of this psychological consultant.
However, Lin Chen's actions quickly made him drive this thought out of his mind. Mr. Consultant quickly entered the room, took out the papers in the information bag one by one at a smooth speed, and placed them on the haystack at will. , on broken cabinets, on the ground...
That is all the materials about Shen Lian saved in the personal file, from birth records to medical reports, from transcripts to teacher comments. There are even a few crayon drawings and handmade works that are probably to be submitted for the school's quality education evaluation.
One after another, it is a clear track about the important events in a person's life. With Lin Chen's constant bending, it is slowly presented in this sultry and humid broken house.
At the end, a large white ocean made of paper appeared in front of Li Nuo's eyes. When the wind blew, under the dim yellow light, there seemed to be ripples.
Lin Chen took a half step back, put one hand on a low brick, and sat on it.
Li Nuo tried his best not to let himself associate the low brick wall with the fence of the livestock pen, nor to think about the use of this broken house. He followed Lin Chen's line of sight and looked back at the different shades of paper in front of him again. Material Ocean, thinking about whether to go out and return this space to Lin Chen.
He took two steps back silently, stepped on a broken brick, and made an unexpected clanging sound, breaking the silence.
Lin Chen's gaze followed, and Li Nuo hurriedly said, "I'm sorry Consultant Lin, I'll leave right away."
"Waitβ¦β¦"
Li Nuo raised his head suddenly, but when he looked at Lin Chen, Lin Chen didn't look at him.
The consultant sitting on the pile of bricks lowered his head slightly, and subconsciously held the phone in his hand, his black hair was low, and a fair neck was exposed above his neckline. His equally pale fingers stroked the call record, like When he was about to call someone, he showed a look that might be classified as vulnerable or missing, and after a few seconds of stagnation, Lin Chen actually put away the phone and looked at him again.
Lin Chen's eyes were dark and calm, and he said to him, "Stay and talk to me."
...
City Bureau command room.
Xing Conglian still maintained the same standing position as when he entered the house. He held his mobile phone. The content of the previous call was that the traffic police in Yulin District had found the van abandoned by Shen Lian, and now there are police officers from the forensics department rushing there. In the short time he took the phone from his ear, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of the call log. Lin Chen's name was on the last grid of the phone page, and the bottom half was blocked by the digital keys, revealing only half of his name.
Xing Conglian felt a very inexplicable emotion in his heart, and he didn't even have time to think carefully at that time.
...
"Say...what?" Li Nuo carefully avoided the paper on the ground, but did not dare to get too close to Lin Chen.
"Ask me a question, anything you want."
Lin Chen sat on the fence like this, with his toes on the ground, his heels were some distance from the ground, and he looked like an ordinary student.
"Why do you want me to ask questions, won't I bother you like this?" Li Nuo asked with courage.
"No, because asking questions is the best heuristic strategy for solving problems." Lin Chen replied.
Li Nuo squatted down, and it was difficult to understand what a heuristic strategy was, which was probably something in psychology. But since Lin Chen asked him to ask questions, and he had a lot of questions in his heart, why didn't he ask?
"Why do you put out Shen Lian's files and what are you going to do?" In the quiet and dilapidated hut, Li Nuo asked, pointing to the large piece of paper materials that were swirling around.
"In front of you is Shen Lian's past, and I want to calculate her future."
"How do you calculate this? With Shen Lian's personal file, you can know what she's going to do next?" Li Nuo was surprised, but he suddenly remembered that Lin Chen could precisely locate this nursing home on the top of the mountain, and suddenly wanted to say what he just asked. Swallow the problem back. However, what he did not expect was that Lin Chen answered him patiently: "By understanding her past, we can infer her personality characteristics, and through her personality characteristics, we can judge her logical thinking and behavior characteristics in a given environment. Human choices seem random and irrational, as if each of us has free will, but in fact itβs just an illusion created by the one above.β
When Lin Chen spoke, he raised his index finger and pointed to the ceiling. Li Nuo knew that the one above Lin Chen was talking about was God. He shuddered, the wick was dazzling, and he couldn't help but say, "I'm a materialist, this sounds too mysterious."
"Who said no." Lin Chen said lightly.
At this moment, a few paintings in the corner that Shen Lian once drew as a child caught Li Nuo's attention. He suddenly remembered the scene of the live broadcast, when Lin Chen and Li Jingtian were facing each other on both sides of the wooden table. He watched the whole live broadcast, and in conclusion, Lin Chen asked Li Jingtian to draw a picture, and then magically guessed the exact location where Li Jingtian once hid the criminal evidence.
Thinking of this, he asked, "Those pictures! Can you see where Shen Lian will go now from those pictures?"
Lin Chen also looked over: "It's a work from Shen Lian's childhood. Painting can indeed project a child's heart, but unfortunately, it can't." Lin Chen stepped down from the pile of bricks and walked through the space between paper and paper. Xiaojing picked up the painting on the ground and looked back at him as if he could see through his heart, "The reason why the painting test for Li Jingtian was successful is largely due to modern scientific methods that you have not seen, pressure sensors, etc. Wait, now that Shen Lian is not in front of me, I can't stimulate her to respond with various questions."
"You mean, it's more difficult now than it was then?" Li Nuo scratched his head.
"Yes, and Shen Lian is far more dangerous than Li Jingtian. This is the difference between terrorists and ordinary psychopaths." Lin Chen answered quickly, but then looked at Li Nuo again, as if waiting for the next question.
Li Nuo took a deep breath, and the crazy killing scenes in the nursing home reappeared in front of him. Those scenes kept reappearing in his mind, like a nightmare that he could never get rid of. He shook his head desperately and tried to calm himself down with questions. He pointed to the picture in Lin Chen's hand and asked, "What was Shen Lian's heart like when he was a child?"
It was a sketch. There were a bunch of children sitting in the room. It seemed that Shen Lian should have drawn a birthday party. There were messy cakes on the table. The picture looks pitch black and makes people feel very uncomfortable.
"She is very talented, she drew it when she was 8 years old." Lin Chen put the painting on a pile of half-height hay, staring at the drawing paper and said, "The house she painted is not a two-dimensional plane. and using overlapping strategies, omitting invisible lines, and even using perspective when expressing the structure of the house, which shows that the objects she draws are extended in three-dimensional space, she is a genius, or rather, her space Her thinking ability surpasses that of children of her age." Lin Chen said to himself, "This reflects that her IQ is not low, so I doubted her low learning ability before the second year of junior high school. After the second year of junior high school, her grades increased by leaps and bounds. I deduced from this anomalous interval what Shen Lian might have experienced, leading to her major transformation."
"Her bad experience was then related to the nursing home?" Li Nuo asked.
"No, it's more complicated in the middle." Lin Chen replied.
Li Nuo was a little stuck, but Lin Chen's dark and far-reaching eyes hit again, he could only continue to ask questions: "I see her picture is very lonely and scary, so her poor academic performance is because of being abused in school. Exclusion, will she go to school to retaliate against teachers and classmates?"
After Li Nuo asked, he realized his arrogance, how could Lin Chen not think of something that he could guess, Lin Chen must have ruled out this possibility! He thought so, but saw Lin Chen turned his head and said solemnly, "Do you think so?"
Li Nuo nodded, wondering how he became the one who answered the question.
Lin Chen asked: "If I told you that the person Shen Lian hated very much was her former neighbor Chen Jianguo, would you guess that Shen Lian was going to take revenge on Chen Jianguo?"
"That must be revenge on the neighbor. Where does her neighbor work? Do you need to notify the person concerned to take precautions?"
"Why can't Shen Lian take revenge on Zhou Rui Pharmaceutical, after all, the other party has destroyed her good deeds?"
Li Nuo was asked again: "It's also possible, very likely!"
After he finished saying these words, Lin Chen suddenly turned his head and looked at him with burning eyes.
Li Nuo was taken aback and quickly apologized: "I... I'm sorry, I really don't understand this."
"No, you understand the public psychology very well, thank you." Lin Chen lowered his head, took out the phone from his pocket, and dialed it.
"Do you know where Shen Lian will go?" Li Nuo asked.
"Go somewhere she thinks, and I don't think she's going to."
