Chapter 338: The Stockholm Effect
The gangster's car was no longer desperately fleeing, but put on the reverse gear and rushed towards the speeding police car team.
All this change came so quickly that Officer Xie hadn't even taken his eyes off the girl's corpse when he heard a louder and louder roar of engines, and rock music still playing on the gangster's car.
The gangster's unkempt head sticks out of the car window, and he looks back at the six police cars behind him, and his golden teeth glisten in the desert sun amid his maniacal smile.
This time, he's really crazy. Officer Xie saw the gangster's expression in her heart, she knew that it was a smile that abandoned life and death, it was a hundred after being forced to a dead end, and the gangster wanted to fight to the death with his gang.
Is it because the girl was killed by mistake? A thought flew through Officer Xie's mind, and the girl's actions just now were beyond everyone's expectations, whether a kidnapped hostage would actually help the gangsters who kidnapped her, or whether she was besieged by the criminal police team, such an act is difficult for anyone to understand. Shouldn't the normal deduction be that the gangsters were finally shot dead by the police, and the hostages were rejoicing in tears that they had escaped from the clutches?
But the careful Officer Xie saw a special scene, the lower abdomen of the girl who was involved under the wheel was slightly bulging, and after the wheel ran over, a large pool of blood flowed out of her lower body, which made Officer Xie think of a possibility.
The Stockholm effect, also known as the hostage complex, is a distorted psychological effect in which the victim becomes psychologically dependent on the murderer, and even gradually falls in love with the other person, so that in turn helps the murderer.
This mentality usually occurs in the case of kidnapping, especially in women who are vulnerable at heart, who are initially filled with fear that their lives are in the hands of the gangsters. But gradually, the gangsters did not kill them immediately, and even showed a little care in the process of getting along, such as a mouthful of food, a sip of water, or a simple daily conversation, the hostages would be grateful for the gangsters' kindness to them, and after a long time, this gratitude would be transformed into a deformed love.
Officer Xie had studied similar cases in textbooks, in 1973 there was a bank robbery in the Swedish capital, after the criminals failed in their operation, they took four bank employees as hostages, which lasted six days, and the police finally rescued all the hostages.
However, in the subsequent court, all of these hostages refused to charge the kidnappers, and even raised funds for their legal defense. The most unbelievable thing is that one of the hostages decided to be engaged to the kidnapper while he was serving his sentence because he fell in love with him.
This incident attracted a lot of attention in the psychological community, and later psychologists called this psychology of succumbing to tyranny the Stockholm effect.
How could a hostage fall in love with a kidnapper? When studying this case, Officer Xie couldn't believe that such a thing could happen in the world, and for her, who was strong and rational in her heart, this kind of behavior was undoubtedly in her head.
However, there are many strange things in the world, and there are many extraordinary things that will be encountered in the criminal police industry, and Officer Xie has witnessed the occurrence of a real case today.
That girl, it should be pregnant, right? Officer Xie's eyes stayed on the girl's lower abdomen for a few seconds, and the months-long kidnapping and skin-to-skin kissing made it very likely that the Stockholm effect had happened to the girl. That's why she disregarded her own safety and made the move of blocking the bullet with her body.
Without the girl and the child in her womb, the gangsters must have been even more unscrupulous, and Officer Xie saw that the other party had rushed over desperately, like a mad dog that had been forced to be anxious.
"Shoot freely!" Officer Xie quickly gave the order, there was no need to care about the safety of the hostages, and now the task of the criminal police team was to kill this criminal gangster on the spot.
A series of gunshots rang out, and the gangster kept hitting the steering wheel while retreating, and it seemed that not a single bullet hit his vital point. In the blink of an eye, his vehicle had driven to the edge of the convoy.
A round, black object was thrown out, with a lead at the top, and a little green smoke was emitting.
"Be careful!" Officer Xie, who saw this scene, immediately shouted, obviously the gangster's car still had a lethal weapon hidden.
However, Officer Xie's reminder was still a step slower after all, and the round thing rolled under the chassis of the first police car, and then there was a loud bang, and a large area of fire burst out of the police car in an instant.
The golden-toothed man's eyes were full of bright red reflected in the firelight, and he laughed even more wildly, his body swaying from side to side to the rhythm of heavy metal rock.
Slammed the steering wheel, the rear of the car suddenly came to a 90-degree sharp turn, the front and rear of the second police car collided, and the police car that wanted to avoid the explosion narrowly avoided the explosion, but was directly hit by the other party, and the second police car caught fire again.
In just a few seconds, Officer Xie watched several of his subordinates die in the line of duty, and his heart ached. However, the current situation did not allow her to have any sadness, and she immediately collected her thoughts and gave an order on the intercom, "Everyone disperse!"
That's what the gangster wants to rush into the police car, which has something like a grenade on it that can exert great power at short distances. So the closer you get to the gangsters now, the more you will be at a disadvantage.
The remaining four police cars retreated in four different directions, and the gold-toothed man still threw two circular objects, but this time none of the police cars were destroyed, and all the police cars pulled away in time.
Bullets began to rain down on the gangsters in all directions, and every police officer suppressed the sadness and anger in their hearts, and the heat of the desert made sweat flow like tears from the corners of their eyes.
The gold-toothed man stepped on the accelerator, and the car flew out like a cheetah again, he would not be stupid enough to be the target of four police cars, since he could no longer blow up each other, then use the second method given to him by the desert.
The man drove all the way like he was about to flee for his life, and he found the strip of cloth on the girl's body in the back seat of the car, which he must have ripped from her clothes during the violence. Now the strip of cloth became a bandage for the man to bandage his wounds, he tied up the two wounds that were bleeding badly, and drank the remaining water in the kettle, and the man instantly returned to a state of high spirits.
Officer Xie could not have let the gangsters escape anymore, and all the police cars chased after them without her orders. A large expanse of yellow sand rises in the calm desert, leaving traces of tires behind it, like a silent painting painted by the hand of God.
