Chapter 30: The Palace of Memory
"You said it was the slaughterer dog who demanded a ransom of 50,000 gold coins?"
"How is this possible?"
Song Yi's words surprised everyone, wasn't this ransom letter a trap given to them by the Wang family?
"Impossible, this slaughtering dog should know that it is impossible for us to come up with so many gold coins, if it is the Wang family doing this, it is understandable, but what is the purpose and benefit of slaughtering dogs?" Song Yuan did not agree with Song Yi's statement, and there were several other hall masters who had the same doubts as him.
Song Yi was not surprised by everyone's questions, he explained: "I think the slaughter dog did this to create a psychological contrast. ”
"Psychological contrast?"
"Hmm. Song Yi nodded, and continued: " Fifty thousand gold coins is actually just a disguise, and the slaughtering dog also knows that we can't give it to him, but he does it to create the first feeling that the amount is too outrageous, but psychological warfare is like this, when we think that this amount is too outrageous, the other party will take the opportunity to propose another lower amount at this time, if this amount is directly proposed at the beginning, then we will inevitably reject it directly; if there is already a more outrageous amount as a foreshadowing, we will have an illusion that the amount after that is acceptable。 ”
Song Yi's statement made the council hall directly dumbfounded, and then a look of surprise appeared on everyone's faces, they didn't expect that psychological warfare could still be played like this? And if it is explained from this angle, everything Song Yi just said can also be understood.
But the most shocking thing is that just now all of them fell into this 'trap', completely unaware of the situation, but Song Yi had already seen through each other's thoughts and plans.
"Damn, I almost fell into the trap of the other party. Song Yuan and the others understood, if it weren't for Song Yi seeing through the other party's point, then they would not be far from being in the middle of the other party's calculations.
"Hehe, we should have thought of it a long time ago. Song Cang looked at the paper letter on the table, and said with a helpless smile: "We all ignored the most critical point just now, since Tu Dog dares to directly expose his identity, he should have been prepared, at least after this incident, we will not let him go, so after he helps the Wang family handle this matter, he will leave Xinan Town, and this incident is pie in the sky for him, he will not let go of this opportunity to blackmail us before leaving." ”
"Then what should we do next?" Song Qing looked up at everyone, then at Song Yi, and asked.
"We have one more thing to accomplish. Song Yi's expression was serious, his eyes immediately turned to the Turing on the table, and then he saw him slowly bend down, close his face to the upper end of Turing, at a distance of a few feet, Song Yi's eyes kept sweeping the map displayed on the Turing, as if he was observing and looking for something.
"What are you looking at?" asked Song Cang on the side.
"We have to find out where the dog is as soon as possible. Song Yi replied while observing Turing.
"Find out the slaughtering dog? just with this Turing?" Song Cang and the others were stunned again, although they had been shocked by Song Yi's performance several times before, he found that Song Yi could change a new trick every time, which made people's hearts just calm down with surprise pouring out again.
It's as if the four words 'incredible' were prepared for Song Yi.
"Okay, what are you going to do?" Gradually, everyone became accustomed to Song Yi's abnormal behavior, and Song Cang and the others directly did not doubt whether Song Yi could do it this time, but wanted to know how to do this kind of thing.
"I think the location of the slaughter dog should be within the range of this Turing show, because he was ready to trade with us from the beginning, so it won't be too far. Song Yi said.
Belch... Isn't this nonsense? Everyone thought at the same time in their hearts, who doesn't know that the slaughtering dog will not leave Xinan Town, but the question is where exactly he will hide, Xinan Town is more than ten miles longitudinal, plus some complex mountains and forests around it, in such a huge range, if you want to find a person, isn't it looking for a needle in a haystack?
"First of all, it can be ruled out that the slaughtering dog will not be in Xinan Town. Song Yi used his finger to draw a circle in Xinan Town on Turing, and he reached out again to pick up the paper letter, and under the eyes of everyone, he directly tore the paper letter into pieces.
Holding the fragments of the paper letter in his hand, Song Yi looked at Turing again, and soon, his hand began to move, only to see Song Yi put more than a dozen pieces of shredded paper in his hand on Turing, and these places where the shredded paper pieces were placed were all outside Xinan Town, but they were not far away from several miles.
"What is this?" Looking at the dozen or so locations marked by Song Yi with shredded paper, Song Cang couldn't help but ask.
"I just tried to put myself in the shoes of the slaughtering dog, imagining where he might go, and that's it. After Song Yi marked all the possibilities, he also straightened up again, and he took a deep breath.
"There are so many possibilities, how do you know which one it is?" Song Cang asked, looking at the thirteen pieces of shredded paper on Turing.
"By exclusion. Song Yi answered, and then clasped his hands in front of him, and then the voice of outsiders to him gradually became blurred, until all the voices disappeared, as if Song Yi was the only one left in the whole world, this is because Song Yi is highly focused on his attention, and all interference from the outside world is blocked by him.
In the case of high concentration, the world in front of Song Yi has also changed, and the surroundings have become an endless white mang world, Song Yi walked in this endless white mang world, his mind moved, countless houses and mountains suddenly rose from the ground, and finally formed a small town that spanned more than ten miles, which was Xinan Town.
This white world is Song Yi's memory palace, and these houses are the result of Song Yi using his memory to copy the distribution on the Turing just now, in this simulated memory world, Song Yi can shuttle at will.
And entering his own memory palace, Song Yi is to complete a geographical profile.
The so-called geographical profiling is the analysis of a person's geographical environment according to the basis of behavioral geography, as the so-called what kind of people will like what kind of place, so people and the environment have always been inseparable, either the environment creates people, or people look for their comfortable environment.
What Song Yi needs to look for is the environment that is most in line with the psychological state of the slaughtering dog.
And when Song Yi entered the palace of thinking and memory, he was still with his hands crossed in front of him in the outside world, motionless, and he didn't hear anyone talking to Song Yi.
In this way, I don't know how long time has passed, when Song Yi withdrew from his memory palace, as soon as he returned to the real world, he saw that all eyes were looking at him, some people seemed very anxious, and some people were very worried.
"Hmm, what's wrong?" Song Yi, who came back to his senses, found that he had spent too much time on the geographical profile, and he had forgotten another important thing, that is, everyone was waiting for the slaughter dog to contact them through the sound transmission spirit device.
And sure enough, as Song Yi expected, after he came back to his senses, he noticed that there was some kind of buzzing sound coming from the table in front of him.
Song Yi's gaze turned to the sound transmission spirit tool, and then he saw that the strange runes engraved on the sound transmission spirit tool had gradually lit up.
This means that the connection of the slaughter dog is coming.
