In the process of investigating a total of 54 suicides, Zhang Dingshan also contacted Lu Qingliang and asked him to mobilize a team that is very interested in suicide psychology to help analyze.

Every step of a person's experience from being stimulated by the environment to having suicidal thoughts, making suicidal decisions, and finally committing suicidal acts involves complex and profound psychological changes. Studying these things can help people who commit suicide to get out of their predicament and start a new life.

That's what the psychology of suicide is all about.

When the person from the suicide psychology research team arrived, Lu Ming saw that this person actually knew Feng Guozhu.

It was a well-maintained, middle-aged woman in her forties. She wears glasses and has a very intellectual and elegant atmosphere.

"Feng Ju, meet again."

The woman shook hands with Feng Guozhu, and Feng Guozhu's face was also full of emotion.

"It's been ten years, hey."

After greeting Feng Guozhu for a moment, she looked at Zhang Dingshan and the others.

"Introduce yourself. I'm Yang Liu, and I'm currently doing research on the psychology of suicide. Well...... I was in Blue Lake almost 10 years ago. At that time, Feng Ju invited me to come here to do a study on suicide probability. ”

Lu Ming recalled that he had seen it in the file of eucalyptus this time, and Feng Guozhu had been concerned about these abnormal suicide eucalyptus for a long time.

It's a pity that it's been ten years, and the ultimate reason why those people inexplicably chose to commit suicide has not been determined.

"Hello, Professor Yang."

"It's great to see this eucalyptus reopen the investigation. Please rest assured, Sergeant Zhang, I will do my best to cooperate with your work. Over the years, when I think of the faces of those who committed suicide for no apparent reason, my heart feels like a stone has been crushed. Now that you're here, there's hope......"

Professor Yang Liu's words were full of heaviness.

Zhang Dingshan was full of solemnity.

"We'll do our best."

After the greetings, everyone immediately entered the working state.

A total of 54 suicide cases were screened around the social relationships of the deceased, such as colleagues, friends, relatives, and lovers, as well as social records, such as online shopping, Internet browsing, travel, finance, medical treatment, bulk consumption, etc.

The security officers, led by several members of the second operation team, collected and verified the information, and the team led by Professor Yang Liu was responsible for analyzing the psychological changes of the deceased from the data and determining whether the suicide caused by these events was justified.

If you want to analyze it carefully, this work is actually very tedious. After all, these are not direct evidence, but indirect evidence. Besides, after such a long time, it is very likely that the memory of the social relations of the deceased concerned will be skewed.

But this is a job that must be done. This is the only way to verify that "the placement of the gossip mirror is effective in avoiding unjustified suicide".

If it is verified and it is proved that it is useless to place the gossip mirror, then the line of the Zhoujia archway on Nanlin Street can be temporarily put down. But if the result is the opposite, and it turns out that the gossip mirror is effective, it will be interesting.

Now, let's do it step by step and check it out.

After more than a week, the verification of the 54 suicides was finally completed.

"Fifty-one of these eucalyptus cases had sufficient evidence to justify suicide by the suicidal person. In addition, two cases could not be judged due to the lack of key evidence. Only one, number 36, Shi Ruiwu's suicide, can confirm that there is something unreasonable. ”

Shi Ruiwu committed suicide three years ago.

He is a native of Blue Lake City, and his family background can only be said to be average. He himself has no education, and he can't find a good job, so he usually relies on odd jobs to make a living. The family has an old house on the outskirts of the city and lives with their parents.

Later, he finally got married, so he planned to buy a new house and live separately from his parents. After all, this old house is too small to squeeze in, and it is not convenient. In the future, if you have a child, it will be even more crowded.

Based on this goal, Shi Ruiwu changed jobs and found a job delivering canned natural gas to the Nanlin Street Hotel.

Here on Nanlin Street, some stores are connected to domestic natural gas pipelines. However, the pressure of household gas pipelines is insufficient, and it can only meet the needs of daily household cooking. The restaurant cooking requirements are Menghuo, which cannot be met by ordinary household natural gas pipelines.

As a result, there was a need to buy canned natural gas from the outside world.

Shi Ruiwu's job is to pour natural gas into large cylinders, send them to the restaurant, and then put away the large cylinders that have used up natural gas, and pull them back to the store to re-can.

It should be pointed out that the shop where Shi Ruiwu works to deliver canned natural gas is also on Nanlin Street. It's just in an alley, relatively remote, and not as commercial as a storefront on the street.

As a result, Shi Ruiwu became one of the "permanent residents and working population" of about 40,000 people in Nanlin Street.

It's hard work, but it's a lot more money than before. Shi Ruiwu is a down-to-earth and hard-working person, and he has plans to buy a house in the future, so he is busy all day long.

As time went by, he had a conflict with his wife. Because they live together, their wives and in-laws also have conflicts. Later, when his wife became pregnant and gave birth to a child, an even greater misfortune came.

The child has a congenital condition, and it takes a lot of money to treat it.

Shi Ruiwu seemed to be crushed by this misfortune. Six months after the birth of the child, and eight days after the child was diagnosed with the disease, he committed suicide by slitting his throat with a dagger after drinking a few bottles of beer in a wasteland in the suburbs.

At the beginning, Lu Ming thought that Shi Ruiwu's suicide was very reasonable.

If you are in his situation, the pressure from your wife, the pressure from your parents, the pressure from reality, and most importantly, the pressure from your children, and the pressure from many aspects, you may also collapse, and you will choose to die.

What's more, the forensic doctor at the exploration site at that time found many test wounds on Shi Ruiwu's body.

Tentative wounds are typical of suicidal wounds. Because suicide is, after all, an extremely serious and courageous act, ordinary people usually try it a few times, such as cutting a few wrists or stabbing a leg, before finally committing it.

Most people, after being tempted, will eventually be knocked down by fear and give up on suicide. But there are also a small number of ruthless people who still carry out the suicide plan in the end.

There was a temptation, there was a realistic situation there, and the security officers at that time judged that Shi Ruiwu committed suicide, and there was nothing wrong with it.

However, Professor Yang Liu raised a different opinion.

"I agree that Shi Ruiwu died by suicide, but I don't think his motive for committing suicide is sufficient. On the contrary, I think that under the circumstances at that time, with the character shown by Shi Ruiwu, it is impossible for him to commit suicide.

Based on the available information, I made a psychological profile of him, and I found that he is a typical ordinary person with great ability to bear pressure. He is even similar to the peasants of ancient times who were oppressed but still survived as tenacious as weeds.

This kind of person, as long as he can live, will live tenaciously and cannot commit suicide.

And, based on his personality analysis, I think, on the premise of knowing the consequences of suicide - what are the consequences of his suicide? Any ordinary person can judge that if he commits suicide, then the result must be that the child dies due to lack of treatment, his wife leaves home and remarries, and his parents die tragically without anything to support - how can he commit suicide?

With his tenacious and tenacious character, he will only work hard. In fact, I think that if he had to die, then it would be most plausible for him to die suddenly at work because he worked all day. At least it was more plausible than if he chose to commit suicide. ”

The professional advice from professionals, Lu Ming had to consider.

Eventually, the eucalyptus was dug up and became the only one of the 54 suicides that was identified as unreasonable.

This is the end of this work. The investigation team was temporarily disbanded, and Professor Yang Liu also left Blue Lake City with his team.

Before getting into the car, Professor Yang Liu turned around again and came back to shake hands with Zhang Dingshan, Lu Ming, and He Wei again.

She seemed to want to say something, but in the end nothing came out. Lu Ming judged the thoughts in her heart from the degree of force she had in her hands.

She wanted to ask a few of her own people to find out the truth of the matter, but she felt that it was inappropriate to say these things in her own capacity, or out of some other concerns, she finally said nothing.

Lu Ming looked at her and nodded with a small amplitude, but very hard.

I know what you're thinking. Not only you, but I also know the Feng Bureau, and I know the common thoughts of all those who have participated, or know this eucalyptus.

Find out the truth, comfort the dead, and comfort those who have fallen into the abyss because of the death of the dead.

Ten years ago, Zhang Lu died. Her parents had gray hair within half a month. Three years ago, Shi Ruiwu died, his children died, his wife divorced, and his parents had nothing to support.

There are too many such people in Blue Lagoon.

Bidding farewell to Professor Yang Liu, the three of them returned to the internal conference room again. Lu Qingliang's figure also appeared on the computer screen and participated in the ensuing discussion.

At this moment, all four of them sensed that the data was abnormal.

"I'll tell you."

Zhang Dingshan broke the silence.

"Among the permanent residents and working population of Nanlin Street, after screening, there are only two abnormal suicide eucalyptus Wu Biao and Shi Ruiwu, and the number is too small. Even if you add the two uncertain eucalyptus, there are only four in total, which is still too few. Less than normal. ”

Lu Ming, He Wei, and Lu Qingliang on the computer screen nodded at the same time.

It's not normal, indeed.

"According to previous statistics, the more people outside Nanlin Street come to Nanlin Street, the higher the probability of abnormal suicide. Based on this statistical result, it is reasonable to speculate that the probability of abnormal suicide should be higher among the permanent and working populations who stay on Nanlin Street for a long time. Why is it lower? ”

After all, they are the ones who have stayed on Nanlin Street for the longest time and come to Nanlin Street the most.

So, how do you explain this phenomenon?

Lu Ming said a little heavily: "Although it feels ridiculous, ...... It seems that only the Bagua Mirror explains. ”

The shops on Nanlin Street have the custom of placing gossip mirrors to ward off evil spirits.

The more times you come to Nanlin Street, the higher the probability of abnormal suicide.

The probability of abnormal suicide of local residents in Nanlin Street is extremely low.

The combination of the three can only lead to such a conclusion.

The placement of the gossip mirror reduced the incidence of abnormal suicide eucalyptus.

It's ridiculous, but it's a reality that is actually in front of the four members of the second team of Operations.

Combined with the source of the custom of placing gossip mirrors in the shops on Nanlin Street, that is, "the Zhou family archway suppressed the ghosts and ghosts, and the demolition of the Zhou family archway released them, and they want to make waves and possess and harm people", the logic of the whole thing is clearer.

Because the shops on Nanlin Street have placed gossip mirrors, there is no way for those ghosts to possess and harm the local residents of Nanlin Street, or only have a very low probability of success, or only wait for the gossip mirror to be damaged to harm people, in short, there are very few ghosts and ghosts who kill the local residents of Nanlin Street.

But outsiders don't have the protection of the gossip mirror, so the more times they come, the higher the probability of being targeted and killed by unjust ghosts. This has led to the current situation.

All four realized at the same time that this inference must not be disseminated until it was finally confirmed. Even Feng Guozhu couldn't tell him.

Because once this speculation spreads, even if it is just a rumor, it will deal a devastating blow to the commercial ecology of Nanlin Street. This will affect the livelihoods of tens of thousands of people, and even affect the overall development of the entire Blue Lake City.

Even if they find out the truth in the end and finally confirm that it has nothing to do with Nanlin Street, it is impossible for Nanlin Street to recover.

It is always more difficult to refute rumors than to spread rumors.

This kind of thing has to be done with caution.

After a moment of silence, Lu Ming said slowly: "I personally don't believe that there are any powerful ghosts. Perhaps there is another mechanism, a mechanism that is logical, in line with scientific thinking, that leads to this phenomenon. But in any case, the real-world data suggests that the placement of the gossip mirror has some kind of effect on this mechanism. Now, it's important to figure out what exactly that effect is. ”

Even if it is really a ghost who is haunted by ghosts, why can a gossip mirror be placed to get rid of this kind of infringement? There's got to be a reason for that, right?

Of course, Lu Ming didn't believe that this was the truth, but he also knew that even if it wasn't the truth, it would always be enlightening for finding the truth.

The truth is often hidden beneath the bizarre and bizarre surface.

Placing the gossip mirror can avoid being harmed by the ghosts who broke the seal because of the demolition of the Zhou family archway, which was put forward by the master at the beginning.

If he said so, and it turned out that it did have some effect, then he should know why.

Zhang Dingshan made a decision: "Find out that master." ”
