Rubik's Cube Seven Days Dream

In the interrogation room, the young man in shackles paused, lost in thought.After more than two hours of interrogation, Professor Kang was also a little tired. He took off his glasses, rubbed the bridge of his nose, which was sore from the pressure of the nose pads, and said, "It is written in your file that you and Zhou Xuerong are in a relationship. .”

Xu Minglang neither affirmed nor denied it.

"What kind of person do you think Zhou Xuerong is?"

Xu Minglang forced a smile, but didn't answer.

Faced with such a negative attitude, Professor Kang is not in a hurry, because he is always sure to pry open every mouth he wants to open...

"So what do you think caused his bipolar disorder?"

Xu Minglang's body froze suddenly, and after a long time he said, "How do you know...?"

"Through your description, many details prove that this is a phenomenon of bipolar disorder. Compared with general depression, bipolar disorder has more frequent attacks and more unstable emotions. It is easy to be accompanied by high mood and high energy. He It may even be accompanied by some symptoms of schizophrenia." Professor Kang said while observing the reaction of the person opposite, and when he saw Xu Minglang holding his trembling lower lip, his tone became more determined, "I guess this Zhou Xuerong also He knows that he is sick, he is controlling himself, but there are always times when he can't control himself, and he will blame himself very much at this time, right?"

Pain appeared on Xu Minglang's face.

"Blame me."

"It's me who has been ignoring his pain. While doubting him, I also want to know him, where he came from, where he is going, and why I can't tell the inside story."

"He is a mystery. But after pushing through layers of fog until the end, I realized that what he wanted was always very simple."

Xu Minglang seemed to be talking to himself, his eyes were tightly covered by his hair, and no one could see what kind of heartbroken eyes were hidden under them.

Professor Kang showed a sincere smile, and flipped through the materials on the desktop that he had been familiar with for a long time.Turning to one of the pages, it recorded the suspect's social relationship, and it clearly stated that Zhou Xuerong and Xu Minglang had maintained a same-sex relationship for many years.

However, it did not mention that Zhou Xuerong had any medical records.

Professor Kang recalled that in Xu Minglang's story, Zhou Xuerong mentioned that he studied sculpture.

Surnamed Zhou...a sculptor again...

Professor Kang loves art. Because of his work, he has the opportunity to make friends with some seniors who are engaged in art. He knows several well-known Chinese painting masters in China, and sometimes even invites them out for dinner when he is on a business trip in Beijing.Two years ago, he was taken by a master to visit a gallery, where he met a sculptor named Zhou Shuhua.

The reason why he remembers clearly is because of Mr. Zhou Shuhua's works.At that time, the gallery was on the top floor of an office building. The ceiling was very high and the decoration was not luxurious, but there were many green plants.

Mr. Zhou’s work is placed in the corner of the gallery. At first glance, he thought it was a pillar carved in relief, covered with vines such as pothos, but he was amazed when he got closer, because it was actually not a pillar, but a male body. It is a huge sculpture with a broken head, and countless green vines spread from the inside, as if life is flowing outward in a concrete way. The sculpture style is avant-garde, and the effect is very shocking.

Professor Kang asked who the author of the sculpture was, and an old man sitting on the sofa stood up tremblingly. At that time, he thought, "Such an old man, I can't see that the creative concept is quite trendy."

The old man said that the sculpture was made by his grandson. He was too old to do it anymore, and the only thing he could do was to teach his children the skills.

The same surname is Zhou, and they are both engaged in sculpture. Is there a possibility that Mr. Zhou's grandson is actually Zhou Xuerong?

Professor Kang turned a few pages back, and there was not much information about Zhou Xuerong, so he took out his mobile phone and typed in the three words "Zhou Xuerong".

It is a pity that Zhou Xuerong does not have a Baidu Encyclopedia introduction, but fortunately there is a written report on the art website and a video interview.Professor Kang turned his phone to silent and clicked on the video.

The theme of the video is interviewing cutting-edge artists in the field of art. When it comes to sculpture, Zhou Xuerong is young and talented. According to the hostess, "many people look up to him".

He skipped the nonsense of the hostess' bragging about his skin, and jumped to the middle. Zhou Xuerong did indeed do what Xu Minglang said, with the ends of his hair down to his chin, but it didn't look sloppy. On the contrary, it made his face less aggressive, and his head After that, it was tied, which seemed to be the fashion of young people.Zhou Xuerong spoke very calmly, and was in a good state of mind. His eyebrows were high but not gloomy, because his eyes shone with the light that only young people can have.

Looking at the subtitles, Zhou Xuerong is talking about his creative philosophy. He loves to use male bodies to shape his works because he thinks that male bodies are more suitable to convey the beauty of "destruction".The more it is considered invincible, the greater the visual impact it will create when it is destroyed.

Speaking of this, the huge, broken human statue appeared in Professor Kang's mind.

The hostess took advantage of the topic and asked Zhou Xuerong about gender issues, and asked him if he liked men.Zhou Xuerong was a little embarrassed, and showed a childish smile, matching his figure like a professional basketball player, it felt a sense of disobedience.

Just like Xu Minglang's story, it violates harmony.

Professor Kang withdrew from the video.

Xu Minglang watched Professor Kang finish all this, but didn't ask any questions.Professor Kang was not surprised by this either. He could feel that the person sitting across from him was just a shell. As for where the soul inside went, I am afraid that only he could know after listening to the story.

This is why Professor Kang has been able to maintain enthusiasm for his work for ten years. In his opinion, criminal psychology is an art, and the human heart is as complicated and mysterious as the ultimate mystery. The motive behind the crime is even more elusive.Criminal psychology, on the other hand, uses scientific and systematic means to classify these complex causes and place them in order for analysis and research.

But just like this is a bit cold, he stays in school to teach most of the time, and occasionally there is a big case that requires him, so he has the opportunity to contact criminal suspects, that feeling is the same as standing on the podium, filling the bottom Every ear is different.

This is a real game with back and forth and warmth.

Professor Kang knew that Xu Minglang was not eloquent about this story because of his strong desire to express, but because the other party deliberately exaggerated and lengthy the story in order to dissuade him.He had never met such a person in his professional life, so the more absent-minded the other party was, with the expression of "I don't care about the appraisal results at all", wishing to be shot immediately, the more Professor Kang wanted to pry his mouth open.

But individuals will have weaknesses.

"A few years ago, I saw Zhou Xuerong's work."

Xu Minglang snorted, and didn't believe what Professor Kang said, and decided that this was just a poor-quality opening line.

Professor Kang continued: "He is very talented. I was shocked when I saw it for the first time. It was a huge humanoid statue, which was placed on the top floor of an office building over the Jiuxian Bridge in Chaoyang. Mr. Zhou told me Yes, said it was the work of his grandson."

Xu Minglang suddenly raised his head.

"You are talking nonsense."

"I'm telling the truth." Professor Kang replied.

"Hey——" the handcuffs slammed on the table, Xu Minglang slapped the table and stood up, roaring angrily: "You fart! You're lying! How could you have read...that's his debut novel!!"

The police officer behind who made the record rushed over, and pressed Xu Minglang to the ground twice: "Do you still want to have an appraisal! Once again, let's see who fills out the appraisal report for you!"

Xu Minglang was still roaring, venting the anger he didn't know where it came from.

Professor Kang didn't expect Xu Minglang's reaction to be so strong, and he straightened his upper body and asked, "Why can't I read his debut novel?"

"Because you are fake! You and this world are fake! You can't have seen that!"

Professor Kang made a palm-out motion, and the little policeman was still a little bit stubborn, so Professor Kang had no choice but to say, "Let him go."

"But......"

"It's okay, let him go."

The policeman just sat back resentfully.

Xu Minglang didn't get up, but lay on the ground repeating "impossible, impossible"

The little police officer sat in the back and muttered: "What's the point of judging, you're just crazy..."

Professor Kang's attitude was not affected, and he asked seriously: "What makes you think that I am 'fake' and this world is also 'fake'? May I ask you, what is your definition of truth?"

"The truth is everything as it is..." Xu Minglang lay on the ground, the stone floor was cold and hard, he could see Professor Kang's shiny leather shoes, and the moving ants in the corner of his eye, and he murmured after a while: "But if even that isn't true..."

At 05:30 in the evening, two police officers were about to escort Xu Minglang back to the detention center, and stood in the corridor to bid farewell to Professor Kang.

"Thank you for your hard work today." The tall policeman's voice was a little hoarse, and he could smell cigarettes when he opened his mouth. He probably smoked a lot outside all afternoon.

The police officer in charge of recording said: "It's been hard work, I scared you just now. These people are capable of killing people, and it's common for them to go crazy."

Another police officer was busy trying to smooth things over: "Professor Renkang has never seen anything before, is it because you have a lot of knowledge?"

The police officer who took the record smiled sarcastically.

Professor Kang smoothed the front of the windbreaker, smiled politely and restrained, and said, "Then don't bother the two of you, I will come over on time tomorrow, it's all hard work."

Just as he turned around, he paused again, turned his head and said to captured Xu Minglang, "I'll see you tomorrow."

Both police officers were a little dumbfounded.

Seeing that Xu Minglang didn't speak or look up, Professor Kang didn't feel embarrassed at all. He squinted his eyes and smiled at the two police officers before walking down the stairs.

At this moment, Xu Minglang's voice came from behind.

"Professor Kang."

He turned his head and looked at the young face.

"In fact, we are all the same. No matter what we do, we cannot escape the 'Rubik's Cube'. Because everything is the 'Rubik's Cube' itself."
