Chapter 2 The Old Man Who Puts His Hand in Your Heart

The University of California, Los Angeles is the top public university in the United States, and its main departments are the School of Medicine, the School of Engineering, the School of Law, and the School of Film and Television Arts, which have long been prestigious, but this institution has received the most attention from the police community or criminal psychology, and many police officers who want to get a better development in the police community will come here to listen to the lectures, and even some people who do not want to become police officers and are just interested in criminal psychology will come to the class, but the reason why these people flock to it is in addition to the reputation of the school, The most important point is because Professor Lambert is here.

Lambert's life is legendary, he was a psychology specialist in the FBI's services as a young man, when the FBI had just established a behavioral science department and created criminal psychology profiling technology based on crime scene analysis.

What's even more interesting is that when Professor Lambert had dedicated three-fifths of his life to the FBI and had the last fifth left, he turned down the FBI's re-offer and chose to teach here at a leisurely pace.

Today, it was Professor Lambert Sr.'s public class, and the auditorium of the University of Los Angeles was full, some police officers came to attend classes without even changing their uniforms, and countless young boys and girls sat here with their curiosity about this science. But they didn't expect that when Professor Lambert appeared in a wide T-shirt and jeans, the first sentence shattered all their dreams.

"If you're here to hear me say that criminal psychology is just a psychology expert sitting in an office and talking about it to catch the murderer, the door is on my right, you can leave. In that case, the police department and the FBI should fire all the detectives and psychologists and hire a group of priests to light candles in the house for divination. ”

Professor Lambert was not instantly recognizable like the detectives in the TV series, and if he appeared on the docks in his current outfit and wore a red and yellow vest, everyone would have thought that this old man was desperately trying to make money to survive in the face of his family's poverty.

"Before today's course officially begins, I want to tell you what criminal psychology is and what criminal psychology profiling techniques are."

"Guys, if you're a police officer, you have to remember one thing, there's no criminal psychology expert in the world who doesn't go to the scene, and anyone who brags to you in a café or on the Internet about how much he has studied criminal psychology and never surveys a single scene, you can give him a middle finger and tell him, 'Fuck off, my time is worth more than this idiot.'"

"If you're not a police officer, after today's lesson, I'm sure you'll have a lot to talk about when you get home. Hey, the policemen just now, you are responsible for identifying who these people are, and putting them in the police station when you go out, so as not to cause panic in the society. ”

Hahaha......

The audience burst into laughter under Professor Lambert's little humor, and they didn't seem to care much about being joked, but liked the old professor's style of speech.

When the laughter fell, Professor Lambert leaned back on the table on the podium, without the slightest strictness at all, and said like a neighbor: "Criminal psychology can only be completed under the comprehensive conditions of criminal investigation, forensic identification, forensics, humanities and psychological evaluation. ”

"Let's look at a piece of news, this is the newspaper from three days ago."

The lights dimmed, and when the projector reflected a picture of a newspaper behind Lambert, the old professor still had English letters floating on his face.

"Whew."

At this moment, in the midst of the exclamations of many students, a piece of news that shocked Los Angeles a few days ago appeared, with the headline "Cecil Hotel Case after Case Case."

That's Lambert's style, he never lets his theoretical knowledge look fake, he incorporates it into the most compelling cases, so he's one of the few star lecturers at LA, even if his classes aren't the most popular majors at LA.

"Everyone should have seen this news, right? I can give you some insider information, and I got some information through personal connections while teaching this lesson. ”

"Then I'll tell you, and I'm going to talk about the conclusions I've drawn based on the newspaper reports."

There was laughter again in the classroom.

"Of course, don't expect me to tell you the names of the people involved in this case, no, even if you're a pretty schoolgirl."

"The case was like this, two dead and two injured at the scene, a total of five shots were fired, there was a fight, and one person was ......knocked unconscious," he briefly recounted the case.

"So, guys, can anyone tell me who is the murderer in this case?"

Lambert looked at everyone and asked questions with a smile.

"It was the cop who passed out who did it!"

"The young patrolman ......"

The room was chaotic, and most of the people who opened their mouths to talk and easily draw conclusions were uniformed patrolmen and a group of students who were just interested in criminal psychology.

"Alright, stop."

Lambert stopped everyone and said, "I'm so sorry, Guy's, I have to say that my mental portrait doesn't match anyone you say, not even anyone on the scene. ”

"Let's start by explaining why it's not the fainting detective, who is around forty years old, an age when people tend to seek a comfortable living environment in the world outside of work, and they prefer to make their lives simpler. I don't know how old your parents are, but how many of you get a text message or a text message on a social media app when they want to contact you? I'm willing to bet you that even if these things did happen, there would be very few lines of words, often 'call me back' or something like that. Instead, more often than not, you're getting a phone call, a video call, or a voice message on social media. ”

"Please turn on the lights."

After the projector turned off, Lambert went on to explain: "The dead cop had three wounds on the top of his head, which means he had to be shot at least three times, and I would like to state that the detective didn't have any mental distortions, so is there any reason for him to choose such a troublesome way to kill a police officer?" If I were him, even if I was angry, I would either choose to beat this policeman hard; Or, kill him with one shot on impulse. In short, you will never shoot him after beating him up. ”

"A normal middle-aged person will instantly think of his family, status, money, and everything that can be compared with this behavior when he beats this guy and wants to take the next action, he is not impulsive to commit a crime, the result of impulsiveness is the previous beating, if he still wants to kill the other party after the beating, then all the gains through half a lifetime of hard work will become a huge cage that traps him, making him unable to take a step forward."

There was silence in the room, and no one refuted it, which is extremely rare in American university teaching, especially in this kind of open open class course, unless the lecturer comes up with an overwhelming theory.

Lambert was pleased with the results and continued, "Let's talk about the patrolman next. ”

"My conclusion is that the crime rate of this patrol officer is also very low!"

"The patrol officer should be in his twenties, unmarried, and not highly educated, which is an age when he is likely to do all this through the accumulation of anger, and they cannot control their impulses, which will last longer than the average older person. I can responsibly tell you that if you compare the psychological maturity of an unmarried man in his early twenties with the psychological maturity of you college students, the height ratio will be six feet to six feet one inch. ”

"This kind of mentality, knowledge reserves, and life experience make it difficult for him to complete this game extremely smoothly."

"This patrol officer also does not have any psychological distortions, he has a normal childhood, a normal life, and since he was a child, he has not been a genius whose IQ surpasses ordinary people, and his reverse quotient and emotional intelligence have reached the level of monsters."

"Such a person can't complete such a complex layout, let alone complete every thought in this situation."

Lambert finally sighed and said: "A guy who grew up in a normal environment would not have such a mature mind, if he was a middle-aged man who had worked in the police for more than twenty years and had faced countless homicides, I would have suggested through my own judgment that the authorities lock this person up as soon as possible, and with the people I have accumulated in the FBI for so many years, I immediately launched all investigations against him, but unfortunately, I don't know much about the facts of this case, otherwise, I really want to try to find the murderer of this case." ”

Wow!

The audience stood up and applauded, and Lambert smiled with satisfaction and pride as he looked at the young men for his respect, until when he swept his gaze to a corner, he found that there was a pit in the horizontal plane in front of him that was laid down diagonally while everyone was standing, in other words, at least one person in the scene did not stand up.

"That's all for today's class, and welcome to my public class next time, but I hope to use past cases next time, after all, I don't want to have homicides every day in Los Angeles."

The students walked up to the podium to take pictures with Lambert, and when all the students left the room, a man in a black suit was sitting smiling at the podium.

"Mr. Lambert."

"Joe?" Lambert laughed and scolded, "You guy made my public class applause go from 100% to 99%. Then he walked up the steps, and sat down beside the man with an old and slow pace.

"Teacher, Adam is dead."

Lambert nodded and said, "I know, he is a genius, and I always thought that he would be the next Li Changyu." ”

"Now this case, I'm working on it."

“NO! You don't want to pull me back to the FBI. Lambert righteously refused: "The days I left the FBI taught me what freedom is, and in order to live without constraints, I chose to divorce at this age." ”

Burst.

Joe smiled happily: "Hahahaha...... Lambert is Lambert, always with angles that others don't expect. ”

"Teacher, you know I've always wanted to challenge Adam, to take off his hat as the number one detective in Los Angeles, and in fact the case has made great progress, and this time I brought the forensic report, the forensic report, and the report of the criminal psychology experts in the building, but these reports have led me into mystery. I just need a new dimension, teacher, to help me. ”

"Where's your partner Justin? That idiot questioned me in a public class last time. Lambert didn't answer anything, instead asked about Joe's partner.

Joe replied, "He? I can't describe it, it was fine a few days ago, and I did find a lot of suspicions after this case appeared, but I was a little impulsive, and I let him run into a wall. ”

Lambert nodded as if he understood something: "Joe, he wants to break free from your shadow and stand out alone, just like you left my classroom back then." Lambert glanced at him and changed the subject: "If you are a murderer, what do you want to do most when you have enough freedom?" ”

"It's a common mentality, and both suspects are police officers by profession...... If I were the murderer, what I would look forward to most would be to close the case......"

"He will log on to the police intranet website to keep an eye on this case, and when this case is in the hands of the FBI, you can't see the demonic shadow of the other party, and you can't determine the direction."

Lambert looked at Joe and said, "But you don't have any reason to send the case back to the Homicide Division right now, do you?" If I'm right, the Ranger you let go is the one you really suspect, and what would he do if the Ranger was really the one who killed Adam and set up the situation, and he didn't have enough secrecy to get any insight into the progress of the investigation? ”

"Keep looking through all the files related to the case, Quinn's information, Adam's information, and everyone in the homicide department who may write a report for this matter he has to keep reading, he will at least think about whether it is possible for these people to expose themselves for a period of time, and if you want to know this, you need to know all the information about these people, no normal person can be calm enough to completely ignore this matter after the killing, especially when the case is not over."

Joe, the FBI detective who made a bet with Adam to catch the killer, instantly captured the direction as if he had a plug-in.

"Is this dimension enough for you to determine the direction of your investigation?"

Lambert acted as if nothing had happened: "Then I'll give you another direction to deny the suspect, if you are wronged, what will you do when you sit in the prisoner's box in the FBI interrogation room?" ”

"Constantly telling the direction of the FBI's investigation, constantly yelling at every agent in frustration and anger that he is stupid and stupid, and becoming more and more lost in his anxious and unstable mood."

"What if you're a murderer?"

"Stating all the 'arrangements' that have been arranged, and quietly walking to the side to watch after getting out......"

"What if the guy who has been locked up is the murderer?"

"I don't care about the facts of the case, I only care about the progress, and I want to ask the lawyer to bail me out by all means, and disappear without a trace after leaving the shackles."

Joe stood up suddenly, "Mr. Lambert, I have to go." ”

Lambert looked at the back of his beloved apprentice: "Why didn't I tell you this at lunch?" Now I have to go to dinner alone......"

Lambert hadn't even looked at those files!
