Chapter 627: Synesthesia

When the police found Cao Yao and Jin Xiaochen, the two women were already dying. The air in the enclosed compartment gradually thinned, almost suffocating the two to death. Not only that, but given that Zhuo Lefeng had been injected with neurohallucinogenic drugs by Tai Mushen before, Zhuo Lefeng was once worried that the two women would also be treated equally.

Then the doctor conducted a physical examination of the two and found no abnormalities for the time being, but like Zhuo Lefeng last time, the two of them also had to be hospitalized for a period of observation.

Ge Tongan's confession made the blacksmith's argument in Kongcheng Old Street more firm, but the next problem was that Ge Tongan didn't know where the blacksmith lived.

"Ge Tongan said that every time the blacksmith would suddenly appear beside him and tell him something, just like the masked woman, who also met the blacksmith on Ge Tongan's way home, and then the blacksmith told Ge Tongan that he could trust the woman."

After watching Cao Yao and Jin Xiaochen being transferred by vehicle to the hospital in Anjing City, Zhuo Lefeng stood in front of the archway in Kongcheng Old Street with a sad face.

Next to him, Jiang Junyan had a gloomy face. He was already scared half to death just now, and almost thought that he would lose Cao Yao after losing Qi Lele. Even though he knew that Cao Yao was still alive, Jiang Junyan was still shocked.

The Green Childlet would treat them like this, and Jiang Junyan had already made up his mind to fight them to the end.

"So the blacksmith has been secretly observing Ge Tong'an. In the end, he chose Ge Tongan. Like the people we met before, they were picking the right believers. Ge Tongan thought that he had found a new direction in his life, and the appearance of Wu Sujuan made Ge Tongan a different person. So, Ge Tongan's question can be answered, but what about the blacksmith's question? There is no doubt that the blacksmith should be near Kongcheng Old Street. ”

Zhuo Lefeng nodded: "Blacksmith, and that masked woman, what is their relationship?" Zhou Shushan and Jin Xiaochen checked around, but they didn't dig out the blacksmith. When we came to Kongcheng Old Street, it stands to reason that the blacksmith should be here, but we still haven't found out, so we haven't overlooked something. ”

The details explained by Mei Tianguang, Zhuo Lefeng told everyone word for word. Everyone is looking for people according to these details, but these details are really all useful.

Jiang Junyan boldly guessed: "For example, Mei Tianguang said that that person's beard may have been pasted on." Another example, his scars...... Will the scar be fake! ”

"It stands to reason that Mei Tianguang won't even be wrong about fake scars?"

"What if he deliberately misled us? Don't forget, Mei Tianguang is also a member of the Green Child's Club, although there is competition between the Tokyo area and the mainland, however, he still understands the truth that prosperity and prosperity are vulnerable. Even if he was blackmailed at the time, he would not be 100% honest with us. ”

If there were no scars, then speculation about scars would have been overturned, so the blacksmith did not have any special feelings for scars.

"So there's still a possibility!" Zhuo Lefeng took a deep breath, "He's not a blacksmith at all!" ”

Jiang Junyan snorted: "Blacksmith can be either a special emotional memory or a deliberately misleading mark. Just like that scar, if he deliberately left a fake scar on the back of his hand and added the name blacksmith, he could naturally mislead most people to think about blacksmiths, and in this way, he played a role in self-protection. And Mei Tianguang just pushed the boat down the river and gave us some true and false information. For him, the inability to find the blacksmith can ensure that the information of the members of the Green Child's Club will not be dug up one after another, and the identification of the blacksmith, as we said to him before, will be of great help to expand the influence of the Green Child's Association in the Tokyo area. ”

The train of thought was opened up again, and the two ran towards the police station almost at the same time.

Now is the time to race against time, and they need to learn more about the blacksmith's secrets from Ge Tong'an.

Mei Tianguang would have reservations, but now Ge Tongan had completely collapsed, especially in front of Zhuo Lefeng, he had lost his disguise. Therefore, his words will be more real than Mei Tianguang.

After obtaining permission from the local police, Zhuo Lefeng and Jiang Junyan entered the interrogation room at the same time to question Ge Tongan.

"Describe the blacksmith's figure in detail."

The details of Ge Tongan's memories are basically the same as Mei Tianguang's, but when it comes to the scar on the back of his hand, Ge Tongan is not as sure as Mei Tianguang. This means that both the scar and the beard may be fake.

Zhuo Lefeng felt hope in his heart: "During the communication between you and the blacksmith, did you find anything special about him?" Also, what is different about his dress and ordinary people? ”

"These?" Ge Tongan struggled to recall, "His voice was hoarse, he spoke very slowly, and he seemed to pay attention to every word, even the use of every word, for fear of saying something wrong." As for the dress, there is nothing special, if you put it on the street, it will not be conspicuous at all. ”

"That's all? Or ......," Jiang added, "what particular way he moves or behaves?" ”

"I didn't pay attention to ......"

This answer made Zhuo Lefeng and Jiang Junyan a little disappointed. asked some questions one after another, but Ge Tongan did not give a new direction.

In the end, the two of them could only end the questioning, and with a sense of loss, they planned to go to the conference room to discuss the next step.

Behind him, Ge Tongan suddenly remembered something.

"Officer Zhuo, I remember that the blacksmith used to hold things with his left hand, and besides, he seems to be sensitive to numbers."

"What?"

Jiang Junyan and Zhuo Lefeng turned around at the same time like replicants, and the two rushed to the table again, saying in unison: "You say it again." ”

Ge Tong'an was taken aback, hesitated, and repeated: "He seems to be left-handed, because I saw that he often used his left hand to carry things." Also, every time I mentioned the numbers, I noticed that he would lick his lips and pause often, as if he had seen something to admire. ”

"Lick your lips? Did he make a swallowing motion? ”

"Swallow?" Ge Tongan nodded, "It seems to be." ”

"That different number, whether he reacts differently. For example, when the number one is one, he will lick his lips, and when the number nine is nine, he will swallow saliva? ”

"This?" Ge Tongan scratched his head, "I didn't pay much attention to the difference." But there should be the situation you said. ”

Zhuo Lefeng said: "Does that look like you have seen the food and want to taste it?" ”

"Yes, yes, that's it."

I see! Zhuo Lefeng and Jiang Junyan raised their eyebrows, and when the two walked out of the interrogation room, they couldn't help but fist each other, with a relieved smile on their faces.

"Immediately organize and notify the local police and relevant personnel of the Anjing City Criminal Investigation Team to meet in the conference room, and we already have new ideas about blacksmiths."

After Zhuo Lefeng's notice, Zhou Shushan and others quickly rushed to Kongcheng Old Street.

They borrowed the meeting room from the local police station for the meeting.

Although Jin Xiaochen was lying in the hospital, she was also concerned about the progress of the meeting and joined the meeting to discuss it remotely.

After all the personnel arrived, Zhuo Lefeng went straight to the point.

"Guys, when we searched for blacksmiths before, we mainly focused on the blacksmith profession. And we may have been misled by the scar on the back of the blacksmith's hand, causing us to never find the right direction. After the breakthrough on Ge Tong'an's side, we learned the latest information about the blacksmith from Ge Tong'an's mouth, and now, I will summarize some details for you. Turning around and coming to the whiteboard, Zhuo Lefeng wrote down some of the characteristics of the blacksmith and said, "The blacksmith has a hoarse voice, is forty or fifty years old, one hundred and eighty centimeters tall, has a well-proportioned figure, very thick eyebrows, and white hairs at the corners of his eyes. They disagreed on the issue of beard and scars on the back of the hands, and now it seems that the scars on the back of the hands and the beard may be disguises. It is not even ruled out that because of the disguise, he drew his eyebrows thickly, and deliberately painted white hair on the corners of his eyebrows. Therefore, when we are looking for a real blacksmith, the beard, the scars on the back of the hands, and the eyebrows cannot be used as references, and even age may be a distraction. Next, Jiang Junyan will introduce an important detail to you. ”

Jiang Junyan said: "Ge Tongan said that blacksmiths should be left-handed, and they may also be very sensitive to numbers. It's just that his sensitivity to numbers is different from that of ordinary people. Blacksmiths react differently to different numbers, such as licking their lips, swallowing saliva, and even making expressions of smelling food. If Zhuo Lefeng and I guessed correctly, we suspect that the blacksmith has a stronger synesthesia than normal people. ”

Synesthesia refers to the fact that a stimulus from one channel can elicit a response from that channel, but now it can stimulate the sensation of another. For example, someone will feel warm when they see red, and someone can instantly feel that the number itself has a special color or even taste when they see a number.

The human senses mainly include taste, smell, touch, hearing and vision, and in general, a sensory stimulus can only produce one sensory response. But some people are able to combine different sensory responses.

For example, they can make connections between color and temperature, even sweet and salty, and they can also make connections between numbers and taste.

Because of this synesthesia, many people will make some special tasting gestures when they hear a certain number, as if they have seen a certain food. Especially when the number stimulates his favorite food senses, then he will seem to be fascinated.

"Generally speaking, artists have more synesthesia than ordinary people, so we can see that artists are more crazy about certain notes and colors than ordinary people. At the same time, left-handers produce a higher percentage of artists than right-handed users. Therefore, we have reason to suspect that the so-called blacksmith does not mean that his profession is blacksmith at all. Rather, he may be an iron craftsman, for example, an iron sculpture, a designer of iron and other crafts. He prides himself on being a blacksmith, both as a pride in his profession as well as misleading to the public. I even suspect that he is a very well-known craftsman with a small success in some fields. ”

Zhuo Lefeng said: "There are dozens of handicraft shops in Kongcheng Old Street, and there are many traditional and modern craft makers in the surrounding area. Some of these people have also won a number of awards. If we follow this inference, we can sort out a list and analyze them one by one. ”

Zhou Shushan couldn't wait: "Then what are you waiting for, let's quickly find out this bastard." ”
