Evil and punishment [criminal investigation]

Nie Cheng clearly felt that Jiang Zhun was not a colleague or a lover, but an aura of a criminal policeman who had achieved third-class personal meritorious service and was awarded by the Municipal Bureau.

He forced himself to look him in the eye, but what he said made him extremely suspicious that he was not only involved in the case, but directly involved in the murder.

If there is a woman on the scene, when another man wants to bully her and kill her, if the past memory overlaps with that of two years ago, making him regard this woman as Guo Ying, he feels that he may overreact and will suppress her. The hatred in the bottom of my heart is reflected on the perpetrator.

Nie Cheng's face was pale, and he chose to tell the truth: "I don't remember."

Jiang Zhun saw a hint of helplessness in his eyes, but couldn't stop asking: "Is it because you witnessed the death of that woman?"

"I don't know." Nie Cheng said.

There are two people who know about Nie Cheng's PTSD symptoms - Nie Cheng's master Shao Qingyun and Jiang Zhun, and only Jiang Zhun knows about Nie Cheng's traumatic situation.

When Jiang Zhun asked Nie Cheng a question, Wu Ze took out the note paper he had prepared earlier in the morning. His eyes wandered between the silent two for a long time, and he couldn't help but say, "If you have any clues, just say what you want. Actually, that girl..."

He was halfway through the sentence, but Jiang Zhun swallowed the second half of the sentence with his gaze, deeply understanding that it was a silent "shut up".He spread his hands and immediately said, "OK, I shut up."

Nie Cheng was not disturbed by Wu Ze's interruption, he kept looking at Jiang Zhun, and said seriously, "I don't know."

Jiang Zhun gradually relaxed his shoulders. He has no real evidence, and Nie Cheng is a public official in the system, so he can't hold on to it. He said wearily: "I know."

Wu Ze immediately took Nie Cheng out of his office, and personally sent him downstairs. He didn't make any further proposals, but said that Jiang Zhun was under too much pressure, so don't take it to heart if he has a bad attitude. He has a particularly bad temper recently. It was even reported by the masses.

Nie Cheng listened silently, except after the division of bureaus, he realized that it was only noon and it was not time to get off work.He was exhausted physically and mentally, so he found a small restaurant nearby to take a rest and eat something.

He ordered two cages of siu mai, which were different from the glutinous rice-wrapped ones sold in convenience stores. The noodles in this store were wrapped in meat, like wontons with an open mouth. The noodles were neither raw nor dry. Serve a bowl of red bean porridge to end lunch sweetly.

After leaving the restaurant, Nie Cheng was about to raise his hand to stop the taxi when a phone call came.

"Hello, Wu Ze?"

"Yes, have you arrived at the unit?"

"No, I just ate something at the door."

"That's just right, Wei Yuan wants to see you, you wait for me at the gate of the sub-bureau, and I'll take you there."

Not long after, Wu Ze drove a police car out from the door, beckoned him to get in the car, and said, "Wei Yuan asked to see Jiang Zhun yesterday morning. I don't know what to say, but he wants to see you again today. What does he think?"

Nie Cheng shook his head.

Wu Ze didn't intend to hear any news, and continued to talk about Wei Yuan's situation: "He is from a nearby county town. He came to our university for undergraduate and graduate studies. After graduation, he stayed to work and bought a house last year. To be honest, I really don't understand what he thinks, let's not cherish the bright future, and go to kill people?"

"Why did you arrest Wei Yuan?" Nie Cheng asked.

"Huh? Didn't Jiang Zhun tell you that he was also photographed by the surveillance. He followed the man and the woman, then walked into the surveillance blind spot, and returned the same way about 10 minutes later. We went all the way forward to monitor and found that He followed the two men for more than five minutes, and then found that he and the male victim came from the same direction." Wu Ze said.

Nie Cheng was slightly surprised. He didn't expect Wei Yuan to be involved so deeply. Could it be that he witnessed everything that night?What does this have to do with killing Lu Xiao?

"After he was brought back, no matter how we asked him, he insisted that the case by the river had nothing to do with him, and he was just passing by. Ask him what he saw, and he said he saw a man and a woman tearing up, and then left. It's difficult." Wu Ze sighed.

A lot of cars were parked outside the detention center. There were not so many people when Jiang Zhun came yesterday morning. Wei Yuan repeatedly asked for a private conversation, so he arranged a lawyer meeting room and asked Wu Ze to do the same for Nie Cheng.Today and Sunday, many lawyers came to meet with their clients while there was no court session, and there were no vacant meeting rooms, so Wu Ze found an interrogation room, turned off the monitoring equipment, and brought Wei Yuan over.

At this time, there were only Nie Cheng and Wei Yuan in the interrogation room. There was a surveillance camera hanging from the roof, but no sound was recorded, so no one would hear what they said.

"How do you feel recently?" Wei Yuan asked first.

Nie Cheng wanted to ask him a lot of questions, and he also thought about whether Wei Yuan wanted to make a deal because he had mastered something, but he never thought that he wanted to master the rhythm of the conversation immediately like in his office.

"It's okay." Nie Cheng said.

"I've thought about your situation for a long time. Because you still can't fully trust me, there are many things that I can't know or understand the details, it's hard to make an accurate judgment, and I don't have that much time." Wei Yuan tweeted Pushing back the glasses, he continued, "I don't know how much you told the previous psychiatrist and how he judged it, but I think the cause of your illness is not just because of your sister."

"How to say?" Nie Cheng became more energetic.

"The police, soldiers, and people who have experienced disasters are indeed prone to mental disorders because they have faced death or the threat of death, but this often happens when they are not psychologically prepared. It is easy to understand that ordinary people encounter disasters; Before going to the battlefield, it is hard to imagine the cruelty of war; the police often only experience PTSD when they first come into contact with a murder case or experience the death of a companion for the first time. Although this is a matter of probability, 'unpreparedness' is the cause of trauma one.

"In our previous chat, I know that you have been in the police force for nearly ten years, and it was the eighth year when the crime happened. This is not the first time you have witnessed the death of people around you, including your father, mother, and colleagues. Heartache is also related to you, but according to common sense, it will not cause such serious trauma."

What Wei Yuan said, Nie Cheng never thought that Guo Ying's murder hit him hard, and he didn't think there were other reasons.

"Of course, this is only a possibility. I dare not say that I know you very well, but in our contact, I found a problem that may cause you to get sick. I would like to ask, how do your friends and colleagues treat you?" Evaluation?" Wei Yuan asked.

Nie Cheng was taken aback, "Uh, I have to ask them."

Wei Yuan smiled, "What do you think?"

"Probably silent, stubborn..."

"What about the good things?" Wei Yuan interrupted him.

"Calm? Generous? Honest?" Nie Cheng said hesitantly.

Wei Yuan nodded, "You don't have to doubt it, I actually feel the same as them. Mr. Nie, you are the same as the outside, this is a rare quality. But in modern society, we often deal with complicated interpersonal relationships and things, and there is only one Masks are not enough."

"mask?"

"Personality mask. This is not a derogatory term, nor does it mean slick, nor is it schizophrenic. This is a psychological term. You can understand that a mask represents a personality trait. For example, when facing elders, you will wear a well-behaved and obedient mask. ; Facing colleagues, you will become competitive. And you, are you so calm, generous, and honest when facing anyone?"

"I...I..." Nie Cheng didn't know how to answer.

"My point of view may be biased compared to the traditional view of a single mask. The mainstream view is that a single mask is likely to cause personality disorders, but you are not. Your mask is very systematic and can deal with most situations in life. , the characteristics, including the 'silence and stubbornness' you just mentioned, these are some character traits that tend to suppress the self. What happened two years ago made this single mask of yours unable to deal with it, plus Huge sadness, shock, difficult choices, etc., caused you to get sick." Wei Yuan said.

It was the first time anyone had talked to him about his character beyond the traumatic situation itself.

"It may still be PTSD in essence, but as I have said repeatedly, you have to explain what happened two years ago and find the real root cause." Wei Yuan said a little tiredly.

Nie Cheng was silent for a moment, nodded, and said, "Thank you."

Wei Yuan smiled, "You're welcome, this is what I should do." After speaking, he pointed to the clock on the wall of the interrogation room.

Three o'clock in the afternoon on Sunday is exactly the time when he finishes counseling.

Nie Cheng understood that Wei Yuan was honoring his appointment last week.

There was a knock on the door beside him, Wu Ze pointed at his watch from outside the door and window, Nie Cheng nodded.

He has two more things to ask: "Did you see me on the night of December 12st?"

"No, I really just stopped at the intersection and left." Wei Yuan said.

"Then why didn't you... expose me to them? You must know that this will reduce your suspicion." Nie Cheng believed that Wei Yuan had already connected the situation he talked about in the consultation with the case.

"Not necessarily." Wei Yuan smiled, thinking of the stern-faced captain of the criminal police.

In fact, when Nie Cheng went to his clinic for the first time, he connected with that Mr. Jiang.Jiang Zhun approached him a year and a half ago, claiming that he had PTSD, and had a strong physical disgust at the female corpse at the murder scene, and described in detail the process of witnessing the death of "his sister" before, which was in stark contrast to Nie Cheng's stumbling narrative , while the content consistency is highly unified.

He quickly found out that Jiang Zhun was consulting on behalf of others. After he found out, Jiang Zhun changed the psychological consultation to psychological professional knowledge consultation without hesitation, and did his best for this friend.Afterwards, I would come to him every six months to talk about new theories, but it has only recently become more frequent.If he really involved this officer Nie, the suspicion would be even greater.

Wei Yuan withdrew his joking attitude and said seriously: "The same sentence, I will not break through my professional ethics standards. I really didn't see you, I don't know if you were there, and I won't use what you told me in the consultation To speculate and disseminate.

"But there is one thing I want to say more. Mr. Jiang is your friend, you should pay more attention to him."

Nie Cheng was silent for a while, nodded to him, and left the interrogation room.

Wu Ze, who waited for an hour, sent him back to the police station without complaint. After Nie Cheng thanked him, he hesitated to speak in front of him, finally sighed, waved his hand and left.
