The man on the hospital bed looked at us blankly and asked Officer Liu, "Are they my family?" ”

Officer Li shook his head: "No, it's my colleague." ”

"Hasn't my family been found yet?" The man laughed a little bitterly, "I'm not going to stay here in a mess for the rest of my life, am I?" yes, I can't even remember who I am. ”

Hearing the man's words, my heart was also sour, and I inexplicably thought of my own experience, and I couldn't help but empathize. Li Jing probably saw my abnormality, walked to the opposite of the man, found a chair and sat down and diverted the topic: "When I came, I heard that you refused to do hypnotherapy, can you tell me the reason?" ”

"I don't know. I just heard from the doctor that I was very resistant to hypnosis, but I don't know why. The man looked aggrieved when he spoke.

Li Jing felt that the man didn't seem to be able to ask anything, so he turned around and asked Officer Liu if he could take him to see the man's attending doctor. Probably had expected this situation for a long time, Officer Liu didn't ask much, and after comforting the man sitting on the hospital bed with Brother Nan, he took us to the doctor's office.

Because of the heavy cases involved, it is the chief physician here who provides treatment for men, who is around fifty years old and very experienced. When the other party saw us, especially when he saw Li Jing, his eyes widened suddenly: "Li Jing, why are you here?" ”

Obviously, the doctor on the other side and Li Jing knew each other, and Li Jing greeted Mr. Doctor in a regular manner: "I came here today to find out about the situation of the patient you are responsible for, you know, he is now involved in a serious case, the police need a profiler who understands psychology, originally wanted to invite Mr. Lu to come, but Mr. Lu has something temporary, so let us come over to help first." Mr. Zheng, are you the doctor who directly accepted him? Li Jing's tone was a little skeptical.

Dr. Zheng shook his head: "There was a surgeon on duty at the time, and he transferred it to me after he took over, do you have any questions?" ”

"Did the patient come in with a head injury?"

Dr. Zheng continued to shake his head: "I can assure you of that. The morning after he was admitted to the hospital, because the client was involved in the clues of the case, and he did not know anything about himself or his experience, he went directly to me. The interval between them did not exceed 10 hours, and the consultation records I received showed no signs of blows or other injuries to his head or other parts. Therefore, no damage was found in the explicit bones, and a CT of the brain was done, and no mass remained. But there was a mark on his leg. ”

"Traces?" Li Jing asked.

Dr. Zheng gestured: "There is a mark of about five centimeters on the outside of the right thigh. ”

Li Jing turned his head and glanced at Officer Liu, who explained knowingly: "After Dr. Zheng told us about the trace, we took a photo to do an examination, the mark was very light, almost invisible to the naked eye, and the epidermis had returned to normal. In order to confirm the patient's condition, a full body scan was performed, and a slight depression was found in the muscles of the inner thigh. The technical department on our side has determined that it was not the result of the beating. It should be a long-term posture of leaning on an object to squeeze the leg muscles. Judging by the dent marks, it should be an object such as a bicycle seat, and there are photos in the bureau, and I will show it to you when I return to the bureau in a while. ”

Li Jing nodded and did not dwell on this issue, and then Li Jing asked some professional questions such as the rejection of hypnotists, and then Li Jing asked Dr. Zheng if the patient would suffer from symptoms similar to Munchausen surrogate feint syndrome, which is actually a rare but severe form of child abuse, and the patients are usually adults, who have been constantly seeking treatment for the self-harm of friendship and the symptoms of false reports, that is, malingering. This symptom is not found and will continue for quite some time. Originally, Munchausen symptoms were a form of abuse by guardians of their wards. But Li Jing felt that such symptoms could still be used in amnesiacs, firstly, the amnesiac did not respond to treatment, and after being instructed to carry out hypnotherapy. Unusual resistance during the treatment process, which has not been improved; In addition, the chief physician has just conducted a series of physical examinations and laboratory tests on the patient, and the results are not consistent with the real amnesia, and no large mass was found in the skull to compress the nerves. Therefore, after discussing the amnesiac patient's condition with the doctor, Li Jing boldly guessed whether the patient would be replaced with Munchausen syndrome in order to avoid tracking.

After hearing this, Officer Liu only regretfully told Li Jing that they had also had this idea. However, a polygraph test was done for the patient, but the test results showed that the patient was not lying. Li Jing shook his head: "Some patients pretend to have amnesia in order to gain attention or fool the investigators, but some patients fake their amnesia or other symptoms because maybe she really can't bear what he once saw, or really thinks that she can't remember anything, and is delusional in order to get help." If it is a psychological suggestion to herself, then the Munchausen syndrome she suffers from will also be stricter, and it will also make him more and more convinced of the reality of his inner delusions, and confuse the situation in the real world. ”

"How do you judge?" Officer Liu asked him.

Li Jing shrugged his shoulders: "It's hard to say, I can't tell if he is deceitful now, I can only say that Munchausen syndrome is just a possibility, some patients with Munchausen syndrome are very powerful liars, they should have had polygraph experience before, of course, if they refuse to think about it in their hearts, the polygraph reflects the real situation in their hearts." But it's time to judge, by the way, didn't you find anything else when you found this frustrated man? Walking out of the hospital gate, Li Jing asked Officer Liu.

Officer Liu motioned for us to get into the car: "Yes, we found 300 yuan in his trouser pocket." ”

"Microbiological test results?" Li Jing chose to sit in the back seat with me, as if to comfort me, who had been a little dull, Li Jing tricked me into patting my hand on my knee. I smiled helplessly and lip-pouted him that I was fine.

Officer Liu may have seen the small movements behind the two of us from the rearview mirror, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and Li Jing quickly took his hand away from mine. Officer Liu said while driving: "After doing microbial testing, the subnet can find other helpful clues, but there are no special samples of microorganisms that can be detected on the money, so it can only be used as ordinary physical evidence to prove that the amnesiac person was not robbed or other emergencies."

"What did the three hundred dollars he brought look like? Change or? Li Jing seems to be particularly interested in the amnesiac before his death.

"Loose change. It's all small change. ”

Li Jing sat in the back seat and suddenly stopped talking, taking advantage of the red light, Officer Liu glanced back at him, seeing that he seemed to be thinking about things and didn't speak again.

When I returned to the bureau, it was actually past six o'clock in the afternoon. The two of us just ate the bento box that we brought with us on the train, so we couldn't help but be a little hungry, and Li Jingjian yì We went to talk about other details of the case after we finished eating. There was no riverbank at the police station at night, and after taking some information, Officer Liu invited us to his house for dinner. Officer Liu's home is in an old building near the police station. It is a single apartment with an area of more than 40 square meters, although the area is not large, but it is very clean. After he washed his hands, he simply fried two dishes, and cooked 3 bowls of somen noodles, but Officer Liu's taste seemed to be a little strange, adding a lot of fish and tofu to the noodles, although it was also delicious, but it still felt weird.

Half an hour later, we had a meal, after complimenting Officer Liu on his cooking skills. The topic returned to the case, Officer Liu asked Li Jing what he was thinking about on the way back Thinking so seriously, Li Jing subconsciously opened the notepad, on which everything he knew today was densely written.

"Do you remember when I asked you about the amnesiac's muscle scars and the money he was carrying?" Li Jing raised his head and asked Officer Liu.

Officer Li nodded subconsciously, but didn't understand what he wanted to say, Li Jing took out the portable notepad he was writing and drawing on it just now from his schoolbag, and took it out to show us, which densely recorded all the things we saw in one day today, and he drew an arc on the two things that recorded the wounds on the amnesia's legs and the money he carried with him, and spent two big question marks with a red pen next to the red line.

"Do you have any questions?" Officer Liu asked him.

Li Jing nodded. Slowly swallowed the plain noodles in his mouth and said: "The two things are related, you were very right about their microbial examination before, you can judge the amnesia's experience from the microbes to judge where the money and wealth carried by the amnesiac have been, but you still ignore one point." A very important place. ”

Officer Liu blinked in confusion and asked, "Which place?" ”

Li Jing pointed to the word 'change', and Officer Liu suddenly realized, while I still looked at them with a blank expression. Seeing that I still didn't understand, Li Jing specially explained to me: "Xiaozhi, think about it, according to common sense." How would you carry $300 in cash? ”

I thought for a moment, "Put it in your wallet." ”

Li Jing looked at me a little funny: "No, what kind of state will I be in if I only have this money?" ”

"It should be more convenient to have two whole hundred, and then a change worth a hundred yuan. Wait a minute. I suddenly found something that Li Jing felt suspicious, "Are you saying he brought too much change?" ”

Li Jing nodded: "That's right, ordinary people don't bring too much change at one time in order to make it easy to carry when they go out." Just now I took a look at the information I had sorted out before, and found that the 300 yuan in change and cash were all found in the same place. This makes me very strange, according to the habit of ordinary people, they don't carry so much change, so what is the meaning of him carrying some change? ”

Officer Liu nodded approvingly and asked, "What do you think about the muscle injury?" ”

"Did you find the bike at the scene?" Li Jing did not answer directly, but asked another question.

Officer Liu shook his head: "No, the photos in the information you received are all the photos of the crime scene, except for the victim and the frustrated person found at the scene, there is nothing, as if it was specially cleaned." However, our on-site investigators deduced from the graphics of blood at the scene that the suspect had specially cleaned up the scene before the killing, and then brought the victim who was killed elsewhere to the crime scene in the photo, so there were no traces of academic splashing at the crime scene, but some fibers were found on the corpse. Therefore, there was no trace of blood at the scene that was finally found, and the body of Xi'an Restaurant should have been transported in a woven bag 3 hours after the victim's death. “

"So you know what I'm suspicious, right?" Li Jing looked at Officer Liu without blinking.

Officer Liu put down his chopsticks and looked at Li Jing seriously: "Are you sure?" ”

Li Jing nodded: "Although it is not certain, but this is a strong evidence that can prove that the frustrated person is likely to be involved in the murder." Probably afraid that I wouldn't understand, Li Jing specially explained to me, "The reception at the scene of the crime is not a special model, the car is not easy to get in and out, and the bicycle is a good means of transportation. We are now facing a series of murders, and if I am not mistaken, the other extreme victims should have been abandoned by the suspects in the same way, and we will go back to the information to see if similar woven bag fibers have been found at several other murder scenes. In addition, Xiaozhi, do you remember that Officer Liu in the hospital said that the indentation of the patient's thigh was like leaning on the saddle of the bicycle for a long time? ”

"But there were no bicycles found at the scene?" I contacted what I had just heard and asked questions.

"And do you remember the three long hairs found on him that didn't belong to him?"

Hearing this, I suddenly woke up, looked at Li Jing in some surprise, and asked him with no special certainty: "You, do you mean that his accomplice took the car away?" Then he was left alone. ”

"It's very likely that the man suddenly fainted on the ground for some unknown reason, and his companion noticed that someone else was approaching, so he made the decision in a panic." (To be continued.) )
