Chapter 105: Probation and Empathy
The power of the media is enormous, especially after some sensational rhetoric appears, some people will be replaced by emotion. Shan Shuili was looking at the newly released news video footage and was induced by the emotion in my heart, so she would tell the truth very smoothly. And the moment when she shows her shame is the key point in time for us to grasp. That's exactly what I can do.
Therefore, I learned an important information from her - some police officers saw that Shan Shuili was concealing, but they did not continue to ask.
For a long time, the relevant information we have taken from the police is indeed sufficient, but there are some obvious suspicions that the police have indeed ignored, for example, Cao Tianfang's classmates and Wang Yixiang's classmates, they all conceal the phenomenon, didn't the police find out!
"Do you remember what that police uncle looked like?" For a while, I was excited again, because maybe we had found another breakthrough!
Tang Lin said that this kind of cult is probably not one person, that is, there are some groups to cooperate, and it is not excluded that the core character has his own helpers, after all, in our psychological copying, we are sure that that person may like to brainwash others!
Shan Shuili thought for a while and said noncommittally: "If we meet again, I should remember, but I can't describe it specifically." ”
It is normal that the visual cortex of the brain has a large range and occupies a lot of mental resources, but there is a special area outside the visual cortex that is specially used to recognize human faces, called the fusiform facial area. This area, discovered by NancyKanwisher, allows facial recognition to bypass the usual visual parsing channels and thus be quickly recognized. It's just that everyone's ability in this area is different, so some people are face blind, and some people only have vague memories.
I can't force Shan Shuili to give me a portrait, because maybe the portrait she says in her vague memory will lead me to a wrong judgment. It's just that I know very well now that there may be a helper in the police crowd. I don't know if the helper took the initiative to assist the murderer, maybe he was brainwashed and did it unconsciously.
This information is very important, and I need to get Shan Shuili to go to the police force with me. We put up photos of all the police officers we helped with the questioning, and asked Shan Shuili to choose the faces she remembered, and finally, she pointed to a middle-aged police officer.
"It's him, it's him who told me, if you haven't thought it through, don't talk nonsense." Shan Shuili said sincerely.
I looked at the director of the police station next to me, who immediately frowned, and spit out softly: "No, Lao Chen is also an old police officer, will he be an accomplice?" ”
"The cult members are very good at brainwashing, and, in our current psychological copying, that person is a person with a very high IQ and a strong sense of art. This kind of person may have a subtle influence on people. By the time you notice a difference, it's too late. ”
After listening to my description, the director sighed, and he immediately prepared to send someone to find Lao Chen. But I stopped him: "Perhaps, we can use Lao Chen as bait." ”
"You mean, spy on him?"
"Yes, we don't know now whether Lao Chen took the initiative to assist, or received assistance after passive brainwashing. But at least we now know why many important points were overlooked in the police interrogatories. Obviously, Lao Chen is indeed helping the murderer cover up something, so we have to know what Lao Chen is going to do. ”
The director nodded and said: "Hey, I still can't accept this fact, but when you say it, it does make some sense, Lao Chen was responsible for inquiring about the situation of some students at the beginning, and now, we have indeed ignored some important points, and there may really be someone who can cover it up." Well, the matter of Neijiashan Middle School has already made a big fuss, and the above has already spoken, no matter who is involved, it will be investigated to the end. I will not shield my colleague, if Lao Chen really has a problem, I will personally arrest him, but if he is wronged, I will not let my subordinates suffer injustice. ”
We believe in professionalism, so we believe that professional police follow-up investigation will be more suitable than us. This matter has already made a big fuss, and no one will cover it up, so I can rest assured that Lao Chen will be handed over to the director to deal with, and I will quietly wait for the summary of information.
As the information released by Xu Jiaqi and the media was spread among the public, we did start to receive a lot of revelations, and most of these revelations, although useless, at least gave us hope. Many people are afraid to come out and provide clues directly because it is a criminal offense, but under the trend of the public, some anonymous important clues have begun to emerge.
Among them, someone sent a private message on Weibo that Cheng Ying did come out of the anime peripheral store that day, but she did not return in the direction of the school, but went to a small hotel not far from the mountain city of Neijia, the name of this small hotel is popular!
"Get there right away!" Everyone's hormones were ignited, and we went straight to the little hotel, surrounded by a few policemen.
And when we got there, the inn was closed. However, it was not difficult to find a person here, and the police immediately helped us locate the owner of the small hotel.
In a small chess room, we went straight to the boss. Looking at this posture, the boss was instantly frightened and said: "I really don't care about my business, I do remember that girl came to stay with us, but I really don't know what happened." ”
"Then why don't you come to report the crime and provide clues."
"Officer, I'm going to do business. My hotel is there, and I'm afraid that someone will really come to the door to retaliate. That person is a murderer and a kidnapper, and I'm worried that if I provide clues, that person will trouble my family, I really don't know too much. ”
Looking at the crying and mourning appearance of this boss, I have some sympathy for him, after all, people who do business are afraid of trouble. However, he didn't come out himself, but we finally found him.
"Then it's okay if you don't say it now, let's honestly explain what happened that day, otherwise, we will wonder if you are a murderer."
"Murderer? Officer, don't scare me. How dare I do this? The guy was frightened by me, and he was a little incoherent, and he stumbled for a long time, and then patted his thigh and said, "I said, but you must keep it secret for me, I don't want that person to retaliate against me." ”
"Don't worry, the police will protect the witness, and it will be good for everyone to find out as soon as possible." I leaned forward, as close to the other person as possible, and at the same time, in a relaxed posture, I gave up holding my arms and put my hands on my knees, saying, "You are very important, and your information is decisive in saving the kidnapped girl." We appreciate your cooperation. ”
In behavior, sitting posture is very important when talking to people. Holding your arms and leaning back, this is an instinctive subtext that makes it difficult for the other person to empathize with your feelings. And I gave up this posture, but leaned my body towards him, and removed the arm that blocked the middle, so that he subconsciously pulled in the distance between him and me.
This kind of subtext and my body language make the other party's good impression of me actually gradually deepen, and my words encourage him to show his importance, which is undoubtedly an incentive for a timid person.
Sure enough, I could see the pleasure of being affirmed in his eyes, but the hesitation remained. I spread my hands and motioned for him to continue relaxing.
In the end, he sighed, patted his thigh and said, "It's out." Everyone is a person with children, and I know how anxious it is to lose a child at home. Well, I said, in fact, that day, I do remember that the girl named Cheng Ying came to our hotel, and held some comic books and toys in her hand, I saw that she was full of happiness, but she came to open the room! You also know that today's young people are precocious, and if we want to make some money, we don't think about it so much, especially in a small hotel like ours, sometimes we turn a blind eye, so she said that she hasn't registered her ID card yet, and I didn't refuse, so I asked her to write down her name! About ten minutes later, I saw a very good-looking boy walking upstairs, and I asked him who he was looking for and wanted to register, and he said that he was looking for someone and he would leave in a while. After a while, I watched the man leave with Cheng Ying. I thought the girl and the boy were going to go out and come back. Not long after, a man in a black trench coat and a hat with his face covered came in, and he asked me to take out what I had just registered, and I didn't do it at first, but I saw him holding a knife in his hand. At that time, I was so scared that I didn't dare to cause trouble, so I watched him take away the page that registered Cheng Ying, and warned me not to do much. ”
Because Cheng Ying did not have an ID card, when she registered in the hotel, she could not enter the computer system, so the police could not track Cheng Ying's situation that night, and the masked man reappeared, and even canceled Cheng Ying's record and threatened the boss not to say it, which obviously made people completely ignore the fact that Cheng Ying opened the room.
"What does the man who took Cheng Ying look like? Do you have a way to repeat it. ”
We need puzzle experts! We need to at least lock down the man's face with the help of the boss.
And fortunately, although the man who took Cheng Ying kept his head down and didn't see it thoroughly. But the boss runs a hotel, and what he is best at is to remember the characteristics of a person immediately when he sees them, so at this point, he is much stronger than Shan Shuili. He didn't need to see the man again, he could spell out the man's appearance for us with the help of a puzzle expert.
And when the general appearance of this man appeared in front of us, as a woman, Xu Jiaqi suddenly said: "It looks very cool, but it has a comic feeling!" This kind of boy is indeed very popular with little girls, but well, I don't like this mouthful! ”
Yes, it's a very handsome boy with a sense of comics, and he shouldn't be too old!
He's not a masked man! Obviously it can't be, because the boss clearly told us that this boy has no mutilated left hand, in other words, it is very likely that this is another helper of the murderer!
