Remember [ .] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
It was the most difficult night I had in Nancheng in the past three years, I always woke up, the woman in the red dress with a hideous face rushed towards me in my dream, and Xiao Yanbing, who was dismembered, flowed in my mind from time to time, I wanted to avoid them, but I couldn't avoid them. Half-asleep and half-awake, I sent a WeChat message to my sister in a daze, but there was no reply from her for a long time, and I felt like I was in a nightmare, worried about struggling but couldn't wake up. It wasn't until my sister finally gave me a voice message in the early morning that I was sure. And Lu Zenghan did not appear in my dream. It's just that when I wake up, I always subconsciously think of him first, I don't know how he spent tonight in the criminal police brigade?
The next morning, I was busy calling Yang Yize to inquire about the situation, and Yang Yize's voice could not hide his tiredness: "I stayed up all night, and that guy refused to say anything." It's really weird, they all turned themselves in, how did they become stuffy gourds again. β
"Can I go see him?" I didn't care about being reserved and face-saving, so I asked bluntly.
Yang Yize paused for a moment and said, "It's really not good, Sister Xin, he can only see a lawyer now." β
"I'm not a friend, can I be a counselor?" I asked.
"But," Yang Yize was even more embarrassed, "this time I didn't say that I would send a psychological expert group." Moreover, Sister Xin, the white team asked me yesterday what was going on with you and him, and I haha. If the white team is suspicious of your relationship with him, they will not look for you in the future, even if they need a psychologist. Yang Yize's words are very real.
I was silent. Yang Yize asked with some curiosity: "However, Sister Xin, the evidence is all in front of you, don't you still believe that he is the murderer?" β
"Yes." I admit it.
"Why? Did you get anything out of those paintings? Yang Yize asked.
I was silent again, I didn't analyze anything, I heard something, or rather, I just stubbornly believed something, and his conversation with Zou Yukai just gave me an excuse for this belief, I tried to assume, if I hadn't heard their conversation, would I believe him? Again, the answer is yes. My trust, though unfounded, though only intuitive, was inexplicably firm.
When I hung up the phone, my heart was empty, I didn't know what I could do, and I couldn't settle down to do anything else. and Han Muzhi took three days off to rest, couldn't sit still at home, couldn't calm down watching dramas and books, so they had to do housework desperately, tidy up the house, cook and wash clothes, Yingying was stunned.
Picking up the sportswear I was wearing on the island, I suddenly felt a dice, my heart softened, I still remember that day, he held my hand, rolled a six-four, gave me the most dazzling points in the game, and also gave me a soft touch of warmth. I pinched the dice in my fingertips and looked at the sunlight carefully, and the corners of my lips couldn't help but smile.
I went out with the dice in my hand, wandering around the alleys of the southern city, and after three hours of shopping, I finally found a small shop of homemade jewelry, which sold all the jewelry made by myself, I took the dice out and asked, "Can you help me make a hole in it?" "For shops that can make their own jewelry, punching holes is not a difficult task.
The boss agreed, spent twenty dollars to make a hole, and gave me a red rope to wear and wear, and I hung the dice around my neck. The feeling of being close to my heart is so warm. Although the dice were a casual part of his effort, to me, it was a pure gift without money. Wearing the dice, the mood is much more grounded.
After resting for three days, I went to Yiqiao and started work. I still ask Yang Yize about Lu Zenghan's situation every day, and when I learned that he completely denied his previous surrender and claimed that he had not killed anyone, Yuanhang hired a well-known lawyer in Nancheng for him. Now the police have no other way to get him to confess his guilt, but to urge the forensic and trace examination departments to speed up and speak with evidence.
"By the way, Sister Xin," Yang Yize asked, "Do you remember that before you went to the outward bound training, Director Mei asked you to make a report?" β
I thought about it, as if there was such a thing, and a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind: "Is he still going to do it, I have time recently." β
"He asked again, and I didn't dare to say yes." Yang Yize said happily, "If you have time, I'll report to him for arrangement." Now I don't have to worry about the year-end evaluation. This Director Mei likes to add inexplicable tasks to people. β
Director Mei arranged the report on Saturday afternoon, and I briefly talked about the basis of some psychological analysis of painting, such as the qualitative analysis of Fang Shuren. Director Mei also went to listen, just sat in the first row, looked at me with a gentle expression, and I tried my best to speak seriously, I should behave well today, and then make a request to him.
After the report ended, the others left one after another, and Director Mei walked to the front, looked at me and smiled: "Teacher Xin is hard. Each report is well prepared. β
I wouldn't be polite, just look at him and smile slightly. Director Mei looked at his watch and asked, "There is still some time, I wonder if Mr. Xin is free, go sit with me?" β
I couldn't ask for it, so I nodded hurriedly: "Yes." β
I followed Director Mei to his office, very simple, angular style, in line with the characteristics of his previous sniper, I looked at him carefully, tall and handsome, different from Han Muzhi's gentle and elegant, but also different from Lu Zenghan's pale and sickly, this Director Mei is sunny and tough, very refreshing, and talkative.
He handed me a cup of tea: "There's nothing to entertain, I've been talking for a long time, let's drink saliva first." I took the cup, and I was entangled in what to say about Lu Zenghan. However, Director Mei opened the conversation, from the party building of the police force to the political style, the theory was endless, and I was absent-minded, what he said was completely left ear in and out of the right ear, only roughly understood what he meant in the end, the form of investigation should be diversified, and my art therapy can cooperate with the police in multiple ways, not only for painting analysis, but also for high-pressure and high-load police personnel to do psychological counseling.
Seeing that I nodded frequently, Director Mei smiled playfully: "Teacher Xin, do you have something on your mind?" It feels like you're absent-minded all the time. β
I plucked up my courage and said, "Director Meiβ"
Director Mei interrupted me: "Don't be so polite, my name is Mei Zijun." It's okay to call me Lao Mei. β
I twitched the corners of my mouth, how dare I call him Lao Mei, and after thinking about it for a long time, I simply didn't shout the title: "That's the case, the criminal police team recently arrested a suspect, who is my case." I want to meet him. After a pause, he said, "I heard that he is not very cooperative, I know his psychological condition better, maybe, I can help." The latter sentence is a lie, and I blushed a little as I said it.
Director Mei didn't pay attention to my expression, but just asked with interest, "Who?" β
"Lu Zenghan." I replied.
Director Mei's brows frowned, his eyes lit up, and he smiled: "He." I heard that he is a suspect in a big case, and he is an acquaintance of Teacher Xin? After a pause, he asked me with a smile, "He's suspected of murder and dismemberment, aren't you afraid?" β
"Don't be afraid." I shook my head busily.
"It's quite bold." Director Mei looked at me with a playful look and was noncommittal to my request.
I fixed my mind and said: "In fact, in foreign countries, psychological counseling for suspects is also a common way to speed up questioning, and there are also this in China, I know that there is a psychological counseling room run by the procuratorate in Shandong, which conducts psychological counseling for suspects and prisoners face-to-face." Although I am not a public official, I understand Lu Zenghan's psychological condition, why don't you let me try it myself? β
Originally, I wanted to mention that last time Han Muzhi and the team of psychological experts assisted the police in interrogating Meng Xiangchen, they achieved results, but last time it was Han Muzhi who formulated a plan, and the interrogating police implemented it according to the plan, Han Muzhi and they would not face the suspect directly, and this time, I wanted to go to see Lu Zenghan, so I didn't mention the last time, so as not to cause trouble.
"Then with your understanding, is it possible that Lu Zenghan is the murderer?" Director Mei looked at me and asked.
This question is very important, and it may determine whether I can meet Lu Zenghan or not, I thought about it and answered very carefully: "In my understanding, he is a person who can control his emotions. Not impulsive. β
Director Mei smiled heartily: "Why did you think of looking for me?" I'm in the Political Department, and I'm not in charge of their criminal investigation business, so why don't you find the White Team, or find the Horse Bureau that is directly in charge of them? β
How dare I look for the white team, he handled the case mercilessly, and now he has begun to doubt the relationship between me and Lu Zenghan, I will definitely hit a wall when I go to him, and I don't know the horse bureau. I gritted my teeth and started the sycophant that I was not good at: "Because you attach great importance to the analysis of painting, you also know how to do it, and your consciousness and height are also higher than others, and the communication with you will be smoother." I finished this sentence in one breath and breathed a long sigh of relief, I have never slapped other people's sycophants like this in my life, it is really uncomfortable.
Director Mei looked at me and laughed, as if he was wearing my top hat very comfortably: "If you can really let him recruit, then I am at the forefront of interrogation skills." Saying that, he picked up his mobile phone, "I didn't meddle in business matters, but psychological counseling can be used as a signboard for our party building, I believe in your ability, make an exception to talk to them." β
After saying that, Director Mei didn't know who to call, and he chatted a few words to the point, but the other party didn't seem to agree, and Director Mei took a lot of words to convince. After hanging up the phone, Director Mei smiled at me and said, "You, you are not honest and bully me for not understanding business." I heard that you can designate a plan and have it carried out by the interrogating police, without having to face the suspect face to face. You did this last time He Xiaomin did this, why didn't you tell me? β
I hurriedly stood up and hurriedly explained to Director Mei: "This is different. Lu Zenghan is very special, he doesn't apply that kind of plan, I know him. β
"You know him?" Director Mei raised his eyebrows and shook his head, "I really shouldn't have promised you in advance." Fortunately, my little face still works, go ahead. β
"Really?" I was pleasantly surprised and asked, "When can I go?" β
"See for yourself." Director Mei said, "It's okay when you're ready." β
"Can I do that now?" I couldn't wait for a moment, "I can do it anytime." β
Director Mei thought for a moment and said, "Okay." I'll find someone to take you there. After speaking, he picked up the landline phone, was about to dial, and put it down again, "Forget it, I'll take you over personally, take a look by the way." β
