Chapter 137: The Hawthorne Effect

I didn't control the force, because I knew that I had to deter him before, so that I could better protect Lin Xinting. After a sound, the watchers on the side looked here, Lu Tianxiu was also squatting on the ground with his head covered, and blood kept flowing out of his head.

"You're crazy."

Lu Tianxiu, who was angry, was just about to get up, when I pointed out with a beer bottle again: "Today is over, I will send you to the hospital, send you a word, don't make any unfavorable moves to Lin Xinting, otherwise, tonight is just an appetizer." ”

"You threaten me." He roared, "You dare to threaten me? ”

"If you think I'm not qualified, you can certainly say that. And that day, Dong Hansheng said the same thing, I don't mind offending someone again. ”

I turned around, called a taxi, and stuffed Lu Tianxiu, who was already dazed, into the car. Along the way, he wanted to resist, but he had already drunk too much, and he was hit on the head, so it was naturally not good to continue struggling.

I called a doctor for him, and stayed with him in the hospital for most of the night, and then, after making sure that he was okay, I didn't bother with him, and went straight to find a hotel, and I slept first.

Early the next morning, I continued to go to the office with no one else, and as for Lu Tianxiu, he didn't even call, because I was sure that the lesson I had taught him last night would at least allow him to calm down for a few days.

With yesterday's tightening of the supermarket fire case, we have ruled out a lot of suspects at the moment, and the time in the morning is critical and I need to find other clues to follow up.

Tang Lin has been using the computer to query the information of supermarket personnel, and Hu Sen did not come to the office directly, and went to the vicinity of Wu Ancai's house early to inquire about the situation. The information of the three of us is constantly being summarized, but there are still no useful key points in the follow-up information.

"Brother Liang, is it really Wu Ancai's ghost who is haunting?" Tang Lin was a little deflated, it was rare for her to come to such a conclusion directly.

"Then we need to invite your dad to come, shall we?" I was a little helpless, there was some ridicule in this speech, and of course there was also a real inquiry.

Tang Lin pursed her lips and said, "Actually, I couldn't figure it out last night, and I had already called my father." He said the same thing to me, the ghost of Wuqi went back to the house, which doesn't make sense no matter how you look at it. But if we think differently, it's not Wu Ancai's ghost, but someone else's ghost. ”

"Someone else's ghost?" I frowned, touched my head and said, "What your father means is that if there is really a ghost who went to Wu Ancai's house, in fact, that ghost did not go to visit Wu Ancai's parents, he actually went to frame Wu Ancai?" ”

"Ghosts, so to speak, are close to the living. It will make the yang energy of the living person decrease sharply, which is common to anyone, in metaphysics, why let the ghost return to the underworld as much as possible, away from the crowd, is because the existence of the yin ghost will make the yang energy thin. If we understand that it was other ghosts who caused the fire in Huaxing Supermarket, and he wanted to frame Wu Ancai afterwards and put the blame on Wu Ancai, this thought is completely explained. Yin ghosts have not returned to the underworld, and doing evil in the yang world will make their road to reincarnation more bumpy, so some yin ghosts try to wash away their guilt before returning to the underworld, and plant blame for it. ”

Of course, I didn't know as clearly as Tang Lin about metaphysics, but now, I realized that in the so-called metaphysics, the magistrates of the prefecture knew it many times, but they didn't find out the truth of the matter thoroughly. This is because the underworld has its own set of guidelines, and the affairs of the yang world are over! If you are not a great evildoer, you can mix it up.

"It seems that there are also a lot of confused officials in the Netherworld." I smiled bitterly, "Then let's explain to people like this, saying that the ghost fire case is really a ghost." ”

"Even if it's really a ghost, we have to catch the ghost before we can explain it."

Our firm has been established for so long, including Tang Lin for a while, and this is one of the few times when we analyze the case seriously, we completely use the set of yin ghost metaphysics to deal with it, which shows how much pain I have now.

If I tell my old classmate Drama Yousen about this result, will my prestige in the hearts of my classmates be completely wiped out in an instant?

In the face of my complaints, Tang Lin said solemnly: "No matter what the result is, the only thing we have to do is to restore the truth of the facts. Brother Liang, haven't you always been able to accept anything, why do you feel weird today? ”

"Is there one?"

Subjectivity will affect my emotional judgment, I really didn't realize it, but Tang Lin helped me find out, I am indeed a little strange today. In normal times, I would not be so obsessed with the question of whether it is reasonable or not, because I have accepted all possibilities, but today, I seem to be somewhat concerned about whether this conclusion is acceptable to others.

"Wow." Tang Lin suddenly realized something, and smiled weirdly at me, "Brother Liang, you are really in love." Looks like you're not having fun this time. You have told us that when a person does not care about the views and perceptions of the outside world, in fact, this person will be more self-conscious, but if this person suddenly becomes entangled in the views and feelings of outsiders, it means that this person's mentality has changed, and he cares about the influence of the outside world, which means that he needs to face the outside world with a better appearance. Under normal circumstances, either this person is in love, or this person is going to be promoted! You said it yourself! ”

"What a mess!"

Of course, I understand what Tang Lin said, and the problem I told them at the beginning is actually the famous "Hawthorne effect" in psychology.

The Hawthorne effect refers to the tendency of individuals who are aware that they are being observed by others to change their behavior. In the 20s and 30s of the 20th century, American researchers found the experimenter effect, called the Hawthorne effect, in an experiment on the relationship between working conditions, social factors and production benefits conducted at the Hawthorne plant of the Western Electric Power Company in Chicago. For example, let employees vent their dissatisfaction; Rise in performance or effort due to additional attention. The basic condition of the Hawthorne Effect is that important attributes of the working environment can be captured in large quantities without hidden or obscure information.

George Elton Mayo and his assistants explained that the subjects reacted positively to the new experimental test, i.e., changed their behavior due to a change in the environment (the presence of the researcher). Therefore, the improvement of performance is not caused by experimental conditions, but by one's own reaction.

The Hawthorne Effect tells us that, from the perspective of others, white lies and praise can really make a person; From the perspective of the ego, you can be the kind of person you can become. There will be some qualitative changes in the people who are followed!

"You can be the kind of person you think you are. There will be some qualitative changes in the people who are followed! "I repeated this in my head, and it made me a little distracted.

Tang Lin shook his hand in front of my eyes and said, "Brother Liang, if you fall in love, you won't really be too stupid." ”

", am I that kind of person. I suddenly thought of a question, the Hawthorne effect, also known as the cathartic effect. At the same time, it emphasizes the impact of external attention on one's own state of mind. What if the person set the fire in order to deliberately attract the attention of others and thus find a cathartic point? ”

"Deliberately getting someone's attention, and then catharsis?" Tang Lin said without thinking, "Then why didn't he jump out directly, so that it wouldn't be better to attract the attention of others?" ”

I shook my head, "What if that person just wants the fire thing to get attention, not themselves?" That's why he didn't want to jump out! ”

"You mean that the other party just wants others to pay attention to the fire factor?"

"Yes, there is a very important factor, although there were four fires, but none of the four fires caused casualties. Therefore, in a sense, if it is deliberate arson, his real purpose is definitely not to cause casualties. He just kept mentioning the element of fire! ”

"In this supermarket, there must have been some fire-related stories before!" Tang Lin woke up like a dream.

I slapped the table and said, "It seems that chatting more often is still very effective." Linlin, you continue to check the computer information of other personnel in this supermarket to see what new discoveries there are, and at the same time, you immediately search for all the contact points related to fire in Huaxing Supermarket over the years, and we strive to find a new breakthrough. I will immediately go to Huaxing Supermarket to find He Ning, hoping to know more from him. ”

"Okay. Oh, that's right. Seeing that I was leaving, Tang Lin hurriedly stopped me and said, "Brother Liang, you haven't answered my question just now." ”

"What's the problem?"

"Want to fool around again?" She smiled evilly, "I'm asking you, are you really planning to fall in love this time?" ”

"Children, go to work hard, don't think nonsense."

If you want me to admit it, that's not. And how do I answer? If it weren't for Tang Lin's reminder, I really wouldn't have realized that I really started to pay too much attention to what others think of me, which is indeed a major change for me. Do I really like Shen Li?

Oh my God, I really didn't notice this, what's wrong with this?

I myself could only look at it speechlessly. Self-perception can be subjective, so self-analysis can be difficult! I want to go to a psychiatrist to judge it.

Hurry up and concentrate on work, and when I arrived at Huaxing Supermarket, He Ning's side was also amazingly efficient, and in the morning, he thoroughly found out Guo Xiaoxiao's situation. And he gave me an unexpected surprise. I asked him to help me take photos of Cao Zhongxiang and the two women yesterday, although He Ning didn't take them himself, but Zhang Meng, the security guard who was taken care of by me, helped me secretly take some photos of the three of them when I got off work last night.
