Chapter 168: The Ghost Appears
After collecting information about the ghost from the school. We will return to the hotel immediately. Meantime. The portraits of the others were also completed. When Tang Minyun saw the details of the other people's blocking of the door. That's when she realized. Why do I have those people do all these sketches? Because. For the details of the blocked door. All people's memories are incomplete.
Zhou Xiaofeng's group of people was because they inhaled the toxins of the mandala flower. So it creates an illusion of thinking. And Lin Tong is these people. It's because of alcoholism. This has resulted in a lack of clarity of consciousness.
"The objects on the surface of these pictures are the same. But for placement. The approximate location is not bad though. But there are obvious subtle changes. You look at these two pictures. There is a difference in the angle at which the sofa can be moved. And this table. How to place it. In fact, there are differences. ”
After my guidance. Everyone was enlightened. And before I left. I gave orders to the Blue Mountain University trio. Let them be led by Snyder. Analyze the process of the so-called locked room murder case.
Right now. Because the so-called secret room no longer constitutes a secret room. So on the details of the murder. Completely can do some modification ideas. The three of them were discussing countermeasures. However. As the leader of their group. Snyder seems to have a plan. He already had a complete idea.
"In order not to disgrace the University of the Blue Mountains. I think. I should have behaved better. Snyder said confidently. We previously considered the problem in terms of murder in a closed room. Right now. We've already determined. The Chamber of Secrets has been opened. That is since the first time it was opened. Why can't I open it a second time? ”
Open it a second time. This question arises. I nodded in satisfaction. Because. When Zhou Xiaofeng answered and opened the door for the first time. That's what I thought.
There is an adaptation to people's perceptions. The difference is too big. will make the adaptation go away. Like what. From A to B. A noticeable change will be felt. But if it's from A first to A weak. And then from A to B. The process. But it can make a small difference in people's overall consciousness. This is the process of sensory adaptation.
Lin Tong and these people all said that the objects blocking the door had not been moved. Except that they were drunk because of it. Outside of causing confusion in memory. There is one more case. It is necessarily an adaptive process. After they blocked them for the first time. Moved by the people of the Dead Society. However, the people of the Death Society recreated the original scene with the help of their memories. At this time. There is a certain amount of error. It's just a little bit of a mistake. It doesn't feel like it.
Followed by. It is highly likely that a second person will intervene. And after coming out. Then put the objects back together. And the second one who opened the door. Once again, the placement has been corrected. It can give a feeling of being more adapted.
Snyder's analysis is. The door was opened a second time. And after the death of the Society. There must have been someone in the guest bedroom. The second time the person who entered took advantage of the opportunity of the Death Society to place Lin leisurely under the bed. took the initiative to stab Lin Youran in the heart with scissors. At the same time, Donk's fingerprints are used as a cover. All. It's like the Death Society and the scene of Donk's creation. It has nothing to do with the person who enters for the second time.
Snyder continued, "This man is agile. And has good cover skills. Must be a very planned killer. Meantime. He could move so many things by himself. At the same time placed completely. It can be said that he should be physically strong. The memory is also very good. Very organized. ”
"Yes, yes. That's what we think. Fujisawa was satisfied with his teacher's answer. But. He didn't want to diminish his merits. "It's the result of our analysis."
"It's all of you. It's Professor Snyder's own work. I teased. Professor Snyder's analysis is very reliable. What he said. Almost let us see the whole process of the killer. The process. Seems to make us feel. Snyder is the killer. Or rather. At least he saw it with his own eyes. Then repeat the general. ”
"Uh. Master. What you said scared me. What Snyder is the killer. Donk was a little puzzled.
And I'm saying that. I noticed a casual twitch on Snyder's face. The distortion that seems to be the center of thought is easily exposed.
"Unorganized actors. Their behaviour is ostensibly irregular. And casually. This. Just like Zhou Xiaofeng. But. As an unorganized actor. They also have a kind of psychology. It's active involvement. They have a wide range of fun. Be proactive. Therefore, it interferes with the progress of other people's investigations. They are controlling. will want to lead the process. From the beginning. When he realizes that someone is approaching him. Maybe. He will show up on his own initiative. And guide the investigator to the truth. Because. He believes. This truth is led closer by itself. Even if you are really exposed. Nor is it the credit of the investigators. Rather, it was revealed by itself. ”
I told myself. It has made everyone else's eyes change. They looked at me except for me. Already actively staring at Snyder again.
Even Snyder himself noticed the deep meaning in my words. smiled and said, "Xu." You mean. I'm a killer. ”
"Nope. I didn't say you were a killer. I mean. You are a ghost. Professor Snyder. Actually, you're hiding it very well. But. Your unorganized active involvement. From the beginning. It's self-exposure. You want to be yourself in a proactive way. At the same time rely on proximity to us. It's better to see how strong we are. I've found out through my investigation. The time when the ghost appeared. This is exactly the time after you came to teach at the University of the Blue Mountains. And for those girls. It's also a group of students that you can reach out. Xie Lei found you for the first time at Wen Yilong's residence. Not by chance. You deliberately wanted him to find out about you. Because of this. You can start to integrate with us. Moreover. You offered some clues. Let's take it. And now. You've solved the so-called locked room murder case perfectly. So. As a ghost. You must have seen the whole process of killing people at that time. ”
There is chicken blood on the scene. It's basically a ghost. Because the ghost went to Wen Yilong's room again. Splashed the girl with chicken blood. And Tang Minyun and I analyzed it before. Ghosts have muscle worship phenomena. Most likely, it is from the United States, where professional sports are developed. Snyder happens to be an American foreign teacher. Conforms to the profile of the ghost. By all indications. Snyder is the ghost.
"But I don't understand. If Professor Snyder is a ghost. Why did he hide for so long? Now it's about to show up. Donk didn't understand.
I explained, "Because of Professor Snyder's intimidating behavior. There were no very serious consequences. And this time. The ghost appears in Wen Yilong's party. And the ghost happens to be the key clue point in the party murder case. This is a very unusual change for Professor Snyder. Any act. Once it comes to killing. It is necessary to reposition. It is impossible for a ghost not to be afraid of the effects of a murder on him. So. After thinking about it for a while. The best choice for ghosts. That is, as an unorganized actor. Actively intervene in the investigation of the case. and leads us to discover that he himself is a ghost. Professor Snyder. I'm not right. ”
The silence of the scene seemed meaningful. Because. No one wants to talk. I just want Professor Snyder to speak. Especially Donk and Fujisawa, two Snyder students. They all wanted to hear for themselves the words of the perpetrators of the ghost events that had plagued the University of the Blue Mountains for months.
Very interesting moment. Everyone wants to see it. How the hell will this American reveal his identity. And the natural cheerfulness of the Americans made Snyder not hesitate for long. He shrugged his shoulders. In a self-deprecating tone, he said, "If I still want to quibble." Please what kind of way can I cover it up better. ”
"Professor Snyder. You really are a ghost. Fujisawa's mouth was already closed in surprise.
Xu's analysis was correct. You are indeed a very good psychoanalyst. If it weren't for the homicide case that appeared. I really won't show up. But because of the murder case. I knew I couldn't keep my identity hidden. So. I use the method of active intervention. to reveal your identity. I'm from the United States, where campus sports are well developed. Professional sports there are integrated into the campus. So. Not only American campuses. and even the entire American society. The cult of sport is all extreme. ”
This is very true. Americans have evaluated their national heroes and national icons several times. Sports stars are at the top of the list. Professor Snyder must have been influenced by these as well. ”
"Xu. You're right. On a U.S. campus. Athletic boys are always one of the groups that girls want to approach the most. If there is an athletic boy, take the initiative to pursue. It will make the girls very excited. This. It has been shown in many American film and television dramas. There are many campus sports teams in the United States. If members of those sports teams send invitations to girls. It's hard for a girl to refuse. But. When I came to your country. I found out. This is not the case. Lots of athletic boys. It was even ignored by some girls. Not to mention taking the initiative to pursue. He was also relentlessly rejected by others. Of course. Men and girls need to be agreed by both parties. But. I don't agree with the tastes of some girls. Just right. When I had the idea of how to change the minds of these girls. Death club activities on campus have also begun to be active. The Death Club has its roots in American campus culture. Its origins are Halloween ghost legends. So. I also decided to use the ghost scary way. to show my own thoughts. I deliberately chose boys who refused to exercise. But choose a very unmanly girl to be frightened. Let them see the true face of these men more clearly. Meantime. with aversion therapy. to correct their thoughts and behaviors. ”
Aversion therapy is also called allopathic radiation therapy. It is a method of applying aversive stimuli with punishment to correct and eliminate certain maladaptive behaviors. Like what. Those girls and boys make out. The ghost used chicken blood to scold them. Thus forming a psychological shadow on them.
The ghost has finally appeared. And. The ghost should have seen the killing.
"Professor Snyder. The ghost's mental profile indicates. You can't be a murderer. But. What you should have seen. Hurry up and tell us. ”
