Chapter 54: Criminal Psychology
Please enter the text In the next few days, Chang'an City blocked the major city gates to avoid the entry and exit of all kinds of people. And Li Shimin sent an envoy to the troops of the Twelve Guards to appease them, and then calm them down temporarily. However, in Chang'an City, a strict search for Li Yuanji and Xue Wanche began. If Li Yuanji and Xue Wanche are not caught, then Li Shimin will have trouble sleeping. However, the operation to arrest Li Yuanji and Xue Wanche was too difficult, and Wei Chigong searched for three days, but he did not find any results.
"Wei Chigong, what are you doing eating? It's been three days, Li Yuanji and Xue Wanche have been spreading rumors everywhere in Chang'an City for the past three days, smashing and looting everywhere, but you, General Wuhou Wei, have no clues at all, and there is no way to catch them, what are you eating? Today has been closed for three days, if it goes on like this, then the gate of Chang'an will be closed during the non-war period, and it will be spread to the outside world and I don't know what will happen, and then the people in the world will be panicked, what should I do at that time? Li Shimin said angrily.
As the capital of a country, it was closed for three days in non-war times, which is a very difficult thing. Especially in ancient times, the poor communication ability made it easy for local officials and people to spread false rumors, and they didn't know what to say! Therefore, the capital gate cannot be closed for too long, and once it is too long, the place will be chaotic. But now Wei Chigong can't catch Li Yuanji, how can this be solved?
"King Qin, it's better to increase the manpower and let the Beimen Tun army join the search, so that it may be successful!" One of the counselors said.
"No, although we have the military power of the Beimen Tun Army, we may not be able to completely control their hearts. Once they disperse, who knows if they will continue to be obedient? If they choose to defect, then we are really in big trouble! After all, if they are concentrated, we can supervise better, but if they are scattered, then we can't control the situation at all, and who knows what will happen. Moreover, the same is true for the Twelve Guards, whose position is unclear, and they cannot be directly allowed to join the search. If it is found by the supporters of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, the consequences will be even more troublesome. Therefore, at present, the soldiers and horses of the Beimen Tun Army and the Twelve Guards cannot be allowed to search, and they can only let their cronies take Wuhou Wei to search. Du Ruhui said.
"What then? Wei Chigong, you have been searching for three days, and you haven't searched for three days? Instead, let Li Yuanji and them make trouble everywhere, how to solve it? If the city gate continues to be blocked, the world will be in chaos! Li Shimin said angrily.
Wei Chigong didn't dare to speak, but at this time, Shi Bufan came.
"King Qin, in fact, Wei Chigong is a fierce general on the battlefield, but it is beyond his power to let him do this kind of thing of searching and arresting criminals. So you don't have to blame General Wei Chi too much, I think I have some rough judgments, I think I can roughly determine which area of Chang'an these Li Yuanji and Xue Wanche are in. Shi Bufan said.
"Oh? Where is it? Li Shimin asked.
If it can be determined which area Li Yuanji and Xue Wanche are in, then concentrate all the forces to turn the bottom up, and then they can be searched out quickly.
"King Qin, have you seen it, when Xue Wanche and Li Yuanji were making trouble, the locations of their troubles were marked on the map of Chang'an. Once it's marked, you find out if it's a circle. And this is probably a circular place, which is definitely the area where Li Yuanji and Xue Wanche are hiding. ”
"Then you try to draw a straight line in the circle of the various troubled places, and this is where they are most likely to hide. This is actually the theory of criminal radius in criminal psychology, and almost the vast majority of criminals will use as much as possible to commit crimes by their side, so that they can feel a certain degree of security in their hearts. So, they draw a circle around the places where they commit crimes, and then probably the center of this circle is probably where they are hiding. Because they are a stronghold here, a place that they think is relatively safe, and it is their old nest. Just like a bird goes out to hunt, it often hunts within the radius that it can control, and it is reasonable that it will not easily exceed the radius that it cannot control. ”
Shi Bufan explained to them the theoretical knowledge of criminal psychology in criminal investigation in later generations, plus some so-called theories of crime radius, Shi Bufan was able to quickly draw a circle in the Chang'an area, and then let them roughly lock this range, and soon they were able to arrest Li Yuanji and Xue Wanche.
The eldest grandson Wuji suddenly exclaimed: "Wonderful, it's really wonderful!" This is enough to allow the people of the world to obtain important means, such a method is really wonderful! ”
However, this statement of the radius of crime only applies to ordinary criminals. If it's a spy or an assassin doing a special mission, you can't use this method to measure it! Shi Bufan hurriedly added.
"That's fine, with this method, the possibility of solving the case in the world has increased greatly!" The eldest grandson Wuji said.
Li Shimin hurriedly said: "Wei Chigong, don't hurry up yet!" Shi Bufan, you go with Wei Chigong and help him arrest the traitors Li Yuanji and Xue Wanche. ”
"Yes, it is my duty to restore order in Chang'an and maintain the stability of my Datang!" Shi Bufan said.
Shi Bufan and Wei Chigong hurriedly came out and went to search for Li Yuanji and Wei Chigong. According to Shi Bufan's theory of crime radius, they quickly locked an area as well, so that they began to surround those Wuhou Wei's people, and then closed the net there layer by layer.
"Shi Xiaoshulang, thank you this time, if you didn't help me speak and thought of this way, then I'm afraid I'm really dangerous this time! I know that if I can't find Li Yuanji this time, then King Qin is really going to kill me. Wei Chigong said with palpitations.
Of course, Shi Bufan knew how angry Li Shimin was at Li Yuanji's leakage this time, because this Li Yuanji was a very important person, and once he ran away, the next plans would be affected. Especially the sons of Li Yuanji and Li Jiancheng under Xue Wanche, they are political banners one by one, and if people take advantage of them, the consequences will be unimaginable. Therefore, of course, Li Shimin must be in his hands, otherwise it will be a huge blow to the legitimacy of Li Shimin's future throne.
This kind of thing, who is not in a hurry? So if you can't catch Li Yuanji and Xue Wanche, then I'm afraid that Wei Chigong's head will also fall off in the end, this is not a joke.
"Search for me! After searching layer by layer, I don't believe I can't find it! Wei Chigong shouted.
In the center of this area, Li Yuanji and Xue Wanche looked at this scene and immediately became frightened.
"Bastard, how could they possibly know we were here? They're coming for us! Li Yuanji's eyes were red and he said angrily.
Now Li Yuanji and Xue Wanche found themselves surrounded, especially this group of Li Shimin's subordinates, Wuhou Wei, who was so accurate that they locked their location, and then searched inside layer by layer. This one is a completely carpet search, and you will definitely not miss any place. Although it is not possible to conduct a carpet search in the whole city of Chang'an here, it will take too long and be too risky. But if you just search a small area, it's entirely possible to succeed. Once Li Yuanji is locked, it is not too easy to search like this.
"Yes! How can they know where we are so easily? This is a secret stronghold left by the crown prince, and even ordinary people don't know about it! Xue Wanche smiled bitterly.
And those Wuhou guards were still compressing it layer by layer, gradually shrinking the living space of those Li Yuanji and Xue Wanche and those soldiers under them, so that they were all getting smaller and smaller.
Li Yuanji said fiercely: "Go and arrest those people, and then arrest all the people around you, and then take them all hostage." I don't believe it, we have so many hostages, so what does Li Shimin dare to do to us. We have hostages in our hands, if Li Shimin kills so many people here, then how will he sit on the throne at that time? He can't make the whole of Chang'an roll and bleed like a river before he ascends the throne, right? ”
"King Qi, isn't that right? They are innocent people! Xue Wanche was still a little unbearable.
However, Li Yuanji has gone crazy, and now Li Yuanji is already a trapped beast, and all possible methods will be used. As for what he said about arresting the people as hostages, this is also a way for him to have no choice, in order to survive, Li Yuanji really doesn't care about it.
Li Yuanji asked his subordinates to hurry to the neighborhood and arrest all the people nearby, and then pulled them over as hostages. Instead, hundreds of soldiers under Li Yuanji and Xue Wanche began to capture the hostages, and when they met the people, they also went to arrest them, and even put knives on their necks. They soon captured more than 2,000 people, and there was a high chance that they could kill them at any time.
However, because of this, Wei Chigong's search speed was much faster, and they soon found Li Yuanji and Xue Wanche. Li Yuanji and Xue Wanche were here, and then Li Yuanji pointed the iron whip in his hand at the head of a civilian, and then apparently as a threat.
"Wei Chigong, don't come here, if you dare to come, then I will kill them. I have more than 2,000 people in my hands, and if you dare to come, I will kill them!" Li Yuanji said angrily.
However, Wei Chigong obviously didn't intend to be polite, and directly ordered Wu Houwei's people to say: "Don't care, kill me!" ”
Wei Chigong is obviously not a general who cares about the people, and there are few generals in ancient times who care about the people. This cannot be described simply as unbenevolent, because all generals in ancient times were basically a raccoon dog, and this cannot be measured simply by good people or bad people. Because different eras have different times of thinking, the future generations are people-oriented, and all the future generations have a sense of reverence for life. However, in ancient times, it was different, and in ancient times, it may have been more important in times of peace, but in times of war, no general would have paid more attention to the lives of the people.
It is already good if you can not take the initiative to slaughter and loot the people, but it doesn't matter if the people are accidentally injured in the war. Almost any general has a black history, and Li Shimin has almost starved the people of Luoyang to death. However, in view of the fact that all the generals in ancient times were basically such "raccoon dogs", it shows that the worldview and values of this era are different from those of later generations, and cannot be completely measured by the good and evil thinking of later generations.
"General Wei Chi, no! This Li Yuanji dares to do this, which shows that they have no fear. If we rashly kill the people and involve them in this conflict, we will certainly be able to destroy Li Yuanji, but it will not benefit us in doing so. What kind of place is this, it is Chang'an, it is the capital, and it is the core of the world. People all over the world pay attention to us here, so every time we do something here, it will be magnified to the whole world and let the whole world know. ”
"Let me say something unpleasant, if you kill 2,000 people in Chang'an, it may be more serious than killing 200,000 people in other places. At that time, if King Qin has not yet ascended the throne and caused a river of blood, then this will definitely not be good. When the time comes, it will be a huge blow to the prestige of King Qin. Chang'an is a place where everyone in the world pays attention, and any behavior will be magnified in the eyes of the whole country. If it is not handled well, then in the end, I am afraid that everyone in the world will denounce King Qin. When the time comes, King Qin may also give you, the specific executor......"
Shi Bufan made a motion to wipe his neck, and Wei Chigong gasped. If this is the case, then Li Shimin will inevitably regard this Wei Chigong as the object of the black cauldron, so Yu Chigong also felt gasp. Although Wei Chigong is not afraid of death, it doesn't mean that he wants to die casually! If he dies on the battlefield and is killed by the enemy, then he has nothing to say. But being killed as a scapegoat by his own lord is really unwilling. Although he may be able to bear the historical infamy for Li Shimin, it does not mean that he is willing to be killed by Li Shimin as a scapegoat for no reason.
For these martial artists, historical infamy may not be a big deal, but they care more about their lives and wealth. killed Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, at most he would be scolded, but he would not be killed. However, if thousands of people were killed because of this, and the whole country would condemn it at that time, Li Shimin would probably kill Wei Chigong as a scapegoat, and Wei Chigong would really be unwilling.
"Shi Xiao Shulang, what should we do now?" Wei Chigong has no idea now, if you want to talk about wars and brawls, he is a good hand, but in this kind of political matter, Wei Chigong is obviously an idiot, he can only rely on Shi Bufan, a petty official of the ninth grade.
