It was another sleepless night.

Sitting at the desk, looking at the chat records of the past half a month, one figure after another coincided with the content of the text, and all kinds of prisoners jumped on the paper.

While these prisoners suffered the consequences of their own crimes, they also inflicted a lot of irreparable trauma on the victims.

These injuries are not only physical, but also psychological. Therefore, behind any criminal case, both the person who hurts others and the person who is hurt will leave a psychological rift and plant a seed of hatred, and these planted seeds will either continue to sprout and grow, or die in the bud.

Human nature is inherently good!

Human nature is evil!

This is a question that has been entangled by many Chinese philosophical masters for so many years, but has not given a final answer.

Closing my notebook, turning off the lamp, and by the moonlight streaming in through the window, I tried to empty myself from thinking about these headaches.

However, I found that I could not control my thoughts at the moment.

In particular, the buzzing in my head has not stopped from the moment I stepped into Bac Giang Prison.

******

Half a month of high-density interviews with prisoners has kept Nian Yu nervous, and he has no time to calm down and think about whether this is the right thing to do.

Nian Yu's original intention was to learn as much as possible about these prisoners, even if it was to let himself slowly get used to how to deal with prisoners.

However, through his contact with the prisoners these days, Nian Yu found that he could not generalize about the prisoners he was dealing with. Each prisoner is an independent and vivid individual, each prisoner's case is different, and everyone's growth environment and psychological changes are even more diverse, and it is difficult to divide them very clearly.

A drizzly early morning.

Nian Yu sat in the small dining room of the administrative building of Beijiang Prison, silently in a daze facing the breakfast that had already cooled.

In the small restaurant, which was not too big, except for the waiters who were busy cleaning up the dishes, there were no more prison guards eating breakfast here

Just when Nian Yu was still silently in a daze, a sturdy young man walked quickly into the door of the restaurant.

The man walked straight to Nian Yu and sat down, Gu Yu lay down on the dining table, and asked softly, "What do you want?" ”

"Ah...... When did you come over? Nian Yu looked at Gu Yu who was sitting opposite in surprise.

"Do you want a girlfriend? Thinking so intently. Gu Yu pursed his lips and laughed softly.

"No, I was distracted just now!" Nian Yu smiled awkwardly.

"See that scum today? I'll arrange it. ”

Half a month has allowed Nian Yu and Gu Yu to form a habitual tacit understanding with each other. Every morning, Gu Yu would come to the small restaurant to find Nian Yu. Then, it is up to Nian Yu to decide who will be interviewed today.

At the beginning, Gu Yu also asked these prisoners to be interviewed from time to time, more or less causing some trouble for Nian Yu.

But in the face of these prisoners' deliberate difficulties, Nian Yu neither complained to Gu Yu, nor did he go to Chen Liao to solve it in private, but just looked at it silently and didn't say anything.

After a long time, Gu Yu found that his little tricks not only did not play a role in Nian Yu, but sometimes he felt that if he continued to do this, he Gu Yu was somewhat different from inside and outside between Nian Yu and the prisoner.

"I don't want to see you today, I want to organize my interview notes and thoughts." Nian Yu said lightly.

"It's okay, I've been busy for half a month, and today is just a good time to rest. Otherwise, listening to these scumbags teach me every day, I feel like I'm about to become a scumbag like them. Get a good rest...... Good rest! Gu Yu habitually touched the pocket of his jacket, but there were no cigarettes in the cigarette case that escaped, Gu Yu sighed and flattened the cigarette case fiercely, and threw it on the dining table.

"Here, smoke this." Nian Yu took out a box of Yuxi from his pocket and pushed it to Gu Yu on the table.

"Don't you smoke?" Gu Yu looked at the cigarette that had been opened, and found that there were two missing in it, so he immediately took out one and lit it in his mouth, and took out the other one and handed it to Nian Yu.

"I smoke very little, just one or two when I have insomnia at night, or when I write." Nian Yu waved his hand and didn't pick up the cigarette handed over by Gu Yu.

"Catfish! There's a question that has been bothering me for a long time and I've been looking for a chance to ask you? Gu Yu slowly sucked Yuxi, which he liked to smoke the most, but rarely bought it himself, leaned back in the chair and asked Nianyu.

"What?" Nian Yu ate the breakfast that had already been cold on the plate, and looked at Gu Yu calmly.

"Did you decide to come to Bac Giang Prison for an internship? Haven't you been here for so long? Gu Yu spit out the smoke ring unhurriedly.

"I've told you about this a long time ago! I majored in criminal psychology in college. Although the teachers taught me a lot when I was in school, it was not enough to learn the things I learned in school if I wanted to make a difference in criminal psychology. Especially when I came here this time and came into contact with so many prisoners, I realized that the cases told in the books were all processed and rendered, and it was not easy to really understand these prisoners. Nian Yu finished the last bite of food on the plate and replied softly.

"You told me these things, but it's the first time I've seen someone who doesn't stay in the criminal investigation detachment and is willing to go to the prison to deal with these scumbags." Gu Yu leaned back in his chair and tilted his head, looking at the ceiling above his head.

"Everybody's thinking is different, like these prisoners here. Everyone's mood when they choose to commit a crime is different at the beginning, and their mental activities are even more different. Nian Yu watched Gu Yu casually put the Yuxi cigarette he handed him into the pocket of his jacket, and didn't say anything, but there was a hint of playfulness in his eyes.

"That's right! We have a guy like you here, who is also studying psychology, and seems to be a professor of psychology at the university! Gu Yumeng straightened up and said anxiously to Gu Yu.

"Psychology professor?" Nian Yu asked in surprise.

"The psychology professor seems to be your psychology professor at Bagang University." Gu Yu said lightly.

"Could it be him?" Nianyu's heart twitched violently, and the hot blood in his heart quickly surged into his brain.

"Then why didn't I see this person in the prisoner's file?" Nian Yu pretended to be calm and asked.

"It's been almost two years since this prisoner was sent here, and I haven't seen him once. Only once in a while, I heard Shen Luo talking to the head of the first prison district about this prisoner, and heard that he was the murderer of the "11.11 serial corpse mutilation case" three years ago. Gu Yu whispered to Nian Yu.

However, wasn't the murderer of the "11.11 Serial Body Mutilation Case" executed two years ago? How can you still be locked up in Bac Giang Prison? Is this impossible? Nian Yu's eyes were full of surprise.

Nian Yu was very impressed by the "11.11 Serial Body Crushing Case", and I am afraid that all the citizens of Bac Giang City were very impressed by this perverted serial murder case.

Three years ago, there was a huge serial corpse mutilation case in Bac Giang City. In just three days, the wreckage of talents was found in many places in Bac Giang City.

Cooked heads!

Human organs soaked in liquor!

Human flesh tissue cut into slices!

After being made into sauce bones, they were secretly mixed into a deli in the city, and finally sold as human bones for sauce bones.

The suspects not only killed the 11 unrelated victims, but also dismembered the bodies of the 11 victims, cooked them, and even mixed some human tissues into some shops in the farmers' market and sold them to the people of the city.

This major case, which caused a sensation throughout the country, shrouded the entire city of Bac Giang in a shadow of terror. From the discovery of human bones made into sauce bones in the delicatessen of the Bac Giang Farmers' Market, the people of Bac Giang City talked about the discoloration of meat, and finally it developed to the point that no one dared to eat any meat food anymore.

Moreover, from the discovery of the first victim to the eleventh victim, it was only a short week, but it had an unprecedented impact on Bac Giang City, the whole province, and the whole country. All kinds of public opinion and criticism on the Internet showed a blowout pattern, and the number of migrant workers in Bac Giang City decreased sharply. For a long time in the future, when night fell, Bac Giang City became a ghost town with empty alleys, and no one dared to go to the streets independently after dark.

The director of the Beijiang City Public Security Bureau at that time happened to be Nian Yu's father, Nian Hong.

Under unprecedented pressure, Nian Hong led all the police of Bac Giang City and criminal investigation experts from all over the country to directly guarantee the leaders of the provincial party committee that the "11.11 serial corpse mutilation case" would be solved before the Lunar New Year in 2016.

Two months later, on February 1, 2016, seven days before the 2016 Lunar New Year, the "11.11 Serial Body Crushing Case" was successfully solved.

For a time, all the citizens of Bac Giang City poured into the streets, and although it was not yet the New Year, the firecrackers set off were better than the previous year's Chinese New Year's Eve.

All the Beijiang City police officers who participated in the investigation of the "11.11 Serial Corpse Crushing Case" were commended for their collective first-class merit, and Nian Yu's father, Nian Hong, as the leader of the "11.11 Serial Corpse Crushing Case" task force, was even commended for his first-class personal merit. became one of the top ten outstanding police officers in the country that year, and was promoted to deputy director of the Provincial Public Security Department in July 2017, in charge of the province's criminal investigation work.

Another reason why Nian Yu was deeply impressed by the "11.11 Serial Corpse Crushing Case" is that the suspect in this case is Chen Peng, a professor of psychology at Beijiang University.

At that time, Nian Yu was a sophomore at Bac Gang University, and Chen Peng was their professor. It is also for this reason that many schools in Bac Gang University, including Nian Yu, have chosen to suspend their studies. The period of Nianyu's suspension is relatively short, only less than half a year, and some students even chose to drop out directly after the suspension, until the graduation of Nianyu this year, the enrollment rate of Bac Gang University is still in a state of declining year by year. Nianyu's headache and tinnitus fell during the period of suspension.

Today, once again the suspect of the "11.11 Serial Corpse Crushing Case" may be close at hand, Nianyu's heart involuntarily beats wildly, his heart is mixed, and his thoughts are chaotic like a ball of untiring hemp rope.

A variety of different ideas kept colliding in Nian Yu's mind......

Nian Yu wanted to meet the former teacher, the perverted murderer who terrified the people of the entire Beijiang City.

Ask him why he brutally killed so many innocent people?

What is it that turns a mild-mannered college professor into a psychopathic murderer?

Nian Yu also wants to ask Chen Liao, wasn't the "11.11 Serial Body Crushing Case" executed in 2017? How is it possible to still be locked up in a cell in Bac Giang Prison?

Gu Yu looked at Nian Yu in surprise, sat there blankly, his face turned blue for a while, and turned white for a while, and asked softly, "Brother, are you okay?" ”

Gu Yu shouted several times, Nian Yu reacted, he grabbed Gu Yu's hand, and asked tremblingly, "What you said is true?" ”

"I haven't seen it with my own eyes! I just heard Shen talk about it, where do I know it's true? Or is it fake? Gu Yu's hand was very painful to be grabbed by Nian Yu, especially the eyes that burst out of Nian Yu's eyes, which made Gu Yu feel cold all over his body.

This was a look that Gu Yu had never seen on Nian Yu's face, a look that made Gu Yu daunted. Although Nian Yu's eyes are not fierce, they are very cold; It's not scary, but it's impossible to look at.

Gu Yu subconsciously hid back, but his hands were held in his hands by Nian Yu and he couldn't break free, so he could only keep stalemate.

"I'm going to the warden...... Whether it was Chen Peng, a psychology professor at the beginning, I want to see this prisoner......" Nian Yu suddenly let go of Gu Yu's hands, stood up from the table, and stumbled out of the small dining room.

Gu Yu, who was sitting on the ground due to inertia, looked at Nian Yu who ran out in a daze, and kept muttering with trembling lips: "Crazy...... Lose your marbles...... He's really crazy...... Anyone who studies psychology is crazy......"
