Jinghua Psychiatric Hospital Forensic Center Building, No. 308 Appraisal Room.

Entering the appraisal room, Tang Xiaosheng's first feeling was that it was empty. He thought that there should be some identification instruments or equipment in the laboratory, but now he realized that this was not the case at all.

The appraisal room is quite spacious, more than 50 square meters, and there is a chair in the center of the room, but there is nothing else. The only thing that is special is that there are several large rectangular mirrors installed on the four walls of the room, about 2.5 meters long and 1.5 meters wide, and three of these mirrors are hung on each wall. The mirrors make the room look even more empty.

As soon as he entered the room, Tang Xiaosheng felt uncomfortable, on the one hand, because he was in such a huge room, and he was a little cautious; On the other hand, it is because he will constantly see himself in the mirror.

When a person is lying or pretending, what he fears most is to see his true self. Now the four walls of the room are covered with mirrors, and no matter which direction Tang Xiaosheng looks, he will see himself through the mirror. Whenever I see myself, I subconsciously remind myself: I am now impersonating a mental patient.

In this way, it is easy for people to become nervous and involuntarily think about the consequences of being debunked. If you are an ordinary person, once you are in such an environment, it is easy to be at a loss, and even expose the truth you are pretending to be out of fear.

However, after Tang Xiaosheng adjusted his mentality a little, he gradually adapted. Because such a scene is very familiar to him.

He is an actor who has spent the past few years looking in the mirror almost every day to hone his acting skills and practicing various movements in front of it. For him, looking in the mirror is as common as eating, and disguise and acting are commonplace. Therefore, when he now sees himself in the mirror in the appraisal room, his emotions do not fluctuate much, and he is just acting in an ordinary play.

After the two criminal police escorted Tang Xiaosheng into the examination room, he sat on a chair in the center of the room and waited for the expert to come and conduct a psychiatric evaluation for him. After that, they left the laboratory, closed the door to the room, and stood guard at the door.

Tang Xiaosheng sat on the chair for less than ten seconds before leaving his seat immediately. Because on the ceiling directly above the seats, there is a bright light.

Many mentally ill people don't like things that are too bright, and are even afraid of light, Tang Xiaosheng is now pretending to be a mentally ill person, so he naturally wants to pretend not to like places with too much light. He walked briskly out of his seat, took a few steps, and curled up into the corner of the room, motionless, his expression glazed over, his gaze wandering, and his indifferent demented appearance.

He came here today to do a psychiatric evaluation, and he thought that the appraisal experts would come to the appraisal room to evaluate him later. Unexpectedly, after he squatted in the corner for more than half an hour, he still didn't see a second person come in, and he was the only one in the entire identification room.

Tang Xiaosheng didn't know what was going on in Lu Dao, and the identification experts hadn't appeared until now, but he didn't dare to act rashly, and continued to sit quietly in the corner.

This squat is an hour. An hour later, there was still no expert to be seen.

Things are getting stranger and stranger, but Tang Xiaosheng still continues to maintain his dementia, smirking twice from time to time, muttering something to himself, from beginning to end, he has not changed this nervous state.

Before I knew it, two hours had passed, and it had come to more than twelve o'clock at noon, but the expert still did not come. For a whole morning, except for Tang Xiaosheng, there was no second person in the appraisal room at all.

The situation is really a bit abnormal, and Tang Xiaosheng doesn't understand it too clearly. However, he didn't think much about it, and just continued to stay in the laboratory as a mentally ill person, so as not to adapt to all changes. …,

In fact, from the moment Tang Xiaosheng walked into the appraisal room, he entered the sight of the appraisal experts. Although the appraisal experts did not appear in the appraisal room, they knew Tang Xiaosheng's every move well. Because there are multiple pinhole cameras installed in the appraisal room, the appraisal experts are observing Tang Xiaosheng's words and deeds in the monitoring room of the appraisal center at this time.

There are five experts in the monitoring room, including psychiatrists, neurologists, criminal psychology experts, senior hypnotists and human behavior experts. These five experts are all authoritative figures in their respective fields, and they jointly form a temporary appraisal team to be responsible for the appraisal of Tang Xiaosheng's mental state.

Yesterday, five forensic experts had already read the materials sent by the Public Security Bureau and the procuratorate about Xia Bai's murder case and Tang Xiaosheng's personal file. Because Tang Xiaosheng is a suspect in the murder case, the nature of the case is relatively bad, and Tang Xiaosheng is an actor who is good at disguising himself. Therefore, after some discussion, the five appraisal experts decided to adopt a special form to appraise Tang Xiaosheng's spirit.

The first appraisal project they arranged for Tang Xiaosheng started when Tang Xiaosheng walked into the appraisal room.

Since people are not present in the environment, they will unconsciously relax their vigilance, and some camouflage techniques will also be relaxed. The reason why the appraisal expert did not appear in the appraisal room, but Tang Xiaosheng stayed alone in the appraisal room, was to see his behavior in an unattended environment. If he is pretending to be mentally ill, it is easy to show some flaws in such an environment.

However, the final result was somewhat unexpected by the five experts. Tang Xiaosheng stayed alone in the laboratory for a whole morning, and all his behaviors were in line with the characteristics of a mentally ill person, and there was no trace of disguise.

After the first round of evaluation, the psychiatrist first concluded that he believed that from Tang Xiaosheng's behavior in the morning, he did suffer from a serious mental illness.

However, the other four experts of the appraisal team had reservations about this, especially the expert in human behavior, who believed that Tang Xiaosheng was an actor and it was not impossible to disguise himself as a mentally ill person through his acting skills, so he believed that from the current situation, it was impossible to determine that Tang Xiaosheng was a mentally ill person.

Four of the five experts disagreed, so the appraisal proceeded to the second project.

The second identification project was proposed by a criminal psychology expert, who, through the hospital's radio system, began to repeatedly play audio recordings of the night of Xia Bai's murder in the laboratory, which were provided by the police.

The reason why these recordings are played is because when the suspect hears the scene recording of the murder night again, he will unconsciously think of the crime scene in his mind, and his emotions will fluctuate violently, such as nervousness, panic, fear, etc., and he may even say some words when he committed the crime due to his emotional breakdown.

The recording was played repeatedly in the appraisal room, and Tang Xiaosheng could hear it clearly. When he heard these recordings, he did recall the scene when he fought with Xia Bai that night, but he didn't kill Xia Bai, so when he recalled the events of that night, his emotions barely fluctuated, his face changed without any expression, and he was still curled up in the corner in a trance.

The recording was played for more than ten minutes before finally stopping. Criminal psychology experts found that after Tang Xiaosheng heard the recording, he did not show any abnormal behavior, and believed that there were two possibilities:

The first is that Tang Xiaosheng did not kill Xia Bai, so there was no change in his mood;

The second is that Tang Xiaosheng does have mental problems and has a sense of estrangement from the outside world, so he will not respond to the recording.

Since there is sufficient evidence of Tang Xiaosheng's crime, criminal psychologists believe that it cannot be the first case, so the only possibility can only be: Tang Xiaosheng is indeed suffering from severe mental illness. …,

The conclusions of the criminal psychologist were endorsed by the psychiatrist.

However, the other three experts of the expert team still disagreed. In particular, an expert in human behavior, he once again emphasized that Tang Xiaosheng is an actor, and an actor with extraordinary acting skills can not only control his own behavior, but also adjust his emotional state. He thinks that Tang Xiaosheng may still be disguised through his acting skills.

After two rounds of appraisals, only criminal psychologists and psychiatrists agreed that Tang Xiaosheng was mentally ill, and three experts objected, so the appraisal work continued and entered the third appraisal project.

The third identification project is presided over by a senior hypnotist, who will hypnotize Tang Xiaosheng to see what Tang Xiaosheng is thinking subconsciously.

No matter how superb a person's acting skills are, when they are hypnotized, they have lost their sense of autonomy and it is difficult to continue to disguise. Therefore, whether Tang Xiaosheng is pretending to be a mental patient or not is easy to see after being hypnotized.
