Criminal Psychology

【One】

Li Jingtian never thought that he would see Lin Chen again in this way.

The moment he pushed the door, he almost thought his eyes were dazzled.

The ambient light in the attic was extremely dim, and the small chandelier on the ceiling shook slightly because he pushed the door.Li Jingtian looked at the person sitting under the chandelier, and didn't immediately realize that the place was dangerous.

The reason is probably because Lin Chen's reclining chair looks too peaceful in the back chair, or it may be because Lin Chen rarely wears a pair of glasses, and the slender black frame is really suitable for him, with the warm yellow light And the movement of him gently lowering his head to flip through the documents, Li Jingtian was a little impulsive for a moment.

Of course, he's always impulsive, but he's also very good at restraining his impulsiveness, so after he walks in, he doesn't immediately slam the door and leave or say something rude and put himself in a passive situation.

He looked around and quickly noticed that there were four professional 4K high-definition video cameras set up at the top of the four corners of the room. This attic originally had windows, but the windows were covered with professional studio black gauze to avoid This creates a subtle atmosphere here, day and night.

Li Jingtian was very fortunate that he still maintained the good words and deeds of a nobleman and a famous singer just now.

"Consultant Lin, I didn't expect that we would meet again in this way. I thought you would not come." He stood by the door, but did not close it.

"Oh, it's just that you haven't thought about it." Lin Chen still stared at the paper in his hand without even raising his head.

"Consultant Lin, you are always so aggressive towards me." Li Jingtian said with emotion.He looked at Lin Chen's slender neck when he lowered his head to read. Although Lin Chen looked like a tempting prey, he knew better that the other party was an experienced hunter disguised as prey. He immediately realized that his best choice now was to leave immediately , and would not take a step here anyway, but when he thought so, Lin Chen raised his head.

"Please close the door, Mr. Li Jingtian."

Hearing Lin Chen's commanding tone, Li Jingtian smiled and said, "Are you restricting my personal freedom?"

Lin Chen shook his head, pointed to the four corners of the room, and said: "As you can see, there are four high-definition cameras hanging in the four corners of this attic. These four cameras belong to Yongchuan Satellite TV, Central News, CATV and the world's largest The online video website Metube, of course, I have no way of knowing whether these media share the video source with other radio stations. But now basically these four media will broadcast the whole process of my conversation with you, so you can be conservative Estimate how many people are watching you right now...so, say hello to the audience friends in front of the TV."

Lin Chen's voice was gentle, but Li Jingtian's spine felt chills. He followed Lin Chen's words and looked up, and the four cameras suddenly turned into countless empty eyes, staring at him intently at this moment.

Although it was clear that Lin Chen was threatening him to increase his psychological pressure, he couldn't move his feet at all because of this sentence. He thought for a while, and then asked: "Dialogue? Actually, it's more appropriate for you to use interrogation, since It's an interrogation, so can I also refuse?"

"Of course you can refuse, but first of all, it will be difficult for a person like you to find a better opportunity to be watched by the public in this lifetime... Secondly, let me remind you that if you turn your head and leave now, this behavior Will it look suspicious to the audience?" Lin Chen said.

Li Jingtian looked at the four corners of the room again, he finally understood that in fact, when he walked in here, there would be no chance of escape, he sighed, walked up to Lin Chen helplessly, and sat down on the opposite stool.

"Consultant Lin, you can ask anything you want, but I will catch a plane later, so I hope you can complete the interrogation as soon as possible."

"I understand." Lin Chen nodded, then fell silent.

For the first time, Li Jingtian felt that the silence was a bit uncomfortable, and then he found that the reason why he felt uncomfortable was because he was sitting on a very uncomfortable small square stool, while Lin Chen was very comfortable with his legs crossed and leaning against the back of the chair. The distance between Lin Chen and Lin Chen is also very awkward. They are about two meters apart. The distance is neither too close nor too far, and there is no obstruction in the middle, which makes people feel extremely uncomfortable.

"The half hour just now was difficult, right?" Lin Chen asked him suddenly.

"Actually not, because I was packing my luggage just now, so I felt that time passed quickly."

"You want to remind me that your flight time is approaching, so let me not delay you too much time?" Lin Chen asked.

Li Jingtian has never met such a straightforward person as Lin Chen, he adjusted his thoughts, bowed slightly, and said: "It's a bit embarrassing to be guessed by you, but if you can understand my eagerness to go home, that would be great. "

"I understand." Lin Chen nodded, and to Li Jingtian's surprise, Lin Chen actually clapped his hands.

Crisp high-fives echoed in the attic.

Not long after, the wooden door of the attic opened, and two people carried a long table into the room. One of them was Shen Chenggong, the military attache of the embassy who was in charge of protecting his safety. Shen Chenggong looked at him with cold eyes and full of anger. Li Jingtian didn't know what kind of trick Lin Chen used to make the embassy obey, but even so, it didn't matter, because the initiative was in his hands no matter what, and after sitting face to face with Lin Chen for a while, he gradually calmed down, What Lin Chen said was right, thinking of millions of eyes staring at him, he felt a creepy thrill.

It has to be said that the person who knows you best will always be your opponent.

He felt that he was about to fall in love with Lin Chen.

……

The old man who lives in the Li mansion in the capital of Xinni also found it very exciting.

But this kind of stimulation was not due to excitement, but because of nervousness. Looking at the scene of his grandson sitting opposite the Hongjing policeman, Mr. Li felt that all the blood vessels in his body were about to burst.

He dialed Ambassador Luo Qiusheng for the third time, and this time, the call was finally connected.

The moment the connection was made, Mr. Li yelled at the phone with all his strength: "Luo Qiusheng, are you crazy? Why is my god in that room? You let him out. I don't care. You have to let him go immediately." He comes out!"

"Sorry, Mr. Li, I can't do it." Luo Qiusheng replied calmly.

"You are traitorous and seeking glory, and you are trampling on the dignity of the country!" Mr. Li, who is far away in the capital of Xinni, slammed his crutches on the living room clock. The old gentleman restrained the urge to drop his phone, and said coldly: "Don't forget who has been supporting you and bringing you to this position, how dare you tell me that you can't do it?"

"It's you." Ambassador Luo said very humbly, "You have always been kind to me."

"The kindness of knowing you? Is this how you repay me for the kindness I have shown you? He is the only grandson of my Li family. Why don't you just stab me to death with a knife?"

Ambassador Luo stood by the window with a rare mocking expression on his face. He said frankly, "I'm really sorry Mr. Li, but because the 'door' is open, I can't refuse."

After Luo Qiusheng finished saying that, there was a long pause on the phone, and Mr. Li even stopped breathing. After a while, the old man questioned in a tone of "what are you kidding?" If you want to prevaricate my old man, you don’t need to find such an excuse, not to mention that my grandson was framed for raping that Hua countryman, even if Sedum really killed her, the door system cannot respond to such a big thing.”

"But the door really opened." Ambassador Luo Qiusheng narrated very calmly.

The inside and outside of the phone fell into silence again. After thinking for a while, Mr. Li finally seemed to make up his mind: "I want to talk to the 'knocker'."

On the other end of the phone, Ambassador Luo Qiusheng looked at the man standing in front of him, and did not immediately agree to Mr. Li's request.

But the other party completely guessed what he was thinking, not only looked away from the screen, but also reached out to him.

Hearing the sound of breathing on the other end of the phone became quieter, Mr. Li used honorific language for the first time among the countless calls made today, and he said: "Hello."

But the person on the other end of the phone did not respond, and even the breathing rhythm did not change. Sensing that the other party might hang up the phone in the next moment, Mr. Li made up his mind and hurriedly said: "I don't care who you are, but please I believe Jing Tian is really wronged, as long as you let him go, everything can be discussed!"

The person on the other end of the phone finally responded: "Mr. Li, what did I just say?"

"You...you didn't say anything." The old man said humbly.

"Since I didn't say anything, why do you think there is room for negotiation between us?"

"Whatever you want, no matter what you want, you can ask for a price!"

Xing Conglian had neither sadness nor joy on his face, no contempt or ridicule, no emotion of any kind.

He said: "First of all, there are really not many people who are qualified to bargain with me in this world. You obviously don't belong to that category." Looking at the people sitting on both sides of the long table on the screen, Xing Conglian's eyes finally fell on On the long table in the middle of the room, he said to the old man on the other end of the phone, "And you should also be very clear. Actually, if I want to deal with Li Jingtian, there are many ways to make his life worse than death, but now I choose the most honest one." means, you should be very happy."

After saying this, Xing Conglian removed the phone from his ear and hung up the phone casually.

……

On the long table in the dark attic was something.

From left to right are a clock, a deck of cards and a square wooden box.

The wooden door was closed again, Lin Chen put his hand on the wooden table, picked up the deck of playing cards, turned it face up, and pushed it away horizontally.

He said to Li Jingtian: "I have always liked Xinni's poker. Although it is not much different from the black and red plum square poker that is commonly used all over the world, I always think that the suits of Xinni's poker are very interesting and can be tolerated." Can’t stop digging into the meaning of it.”

Lin Chen casually drew out five cards, and continued: "I have read the books on Sunny Poker. It is said that the designer of Sunny Poker designed five different suits to commemorate the Red Sun War. Among them, 'house' symbolizes homeland, 'man' symbolizes warrior, 'bird' symbolizes freedom, 'sunshine' symbolizes victory, and 'flowers' symbolizes heroes. This kind of symbolic meaning is something I have never seen in other countries' gambling systems .”

Li Jingtian interrupted him suddenly: "Consultant Lin, do you want to bet with me?"

Lin Chen put the five cards of different suits back into the deck, then began to shuffle the cards, and said to himself: "And I heard that there is a very interesting poker game in Xinni's underground bar, which was born out of the most The original game of bets and knives, influenced by the pub game of knives and fingers, evolved into what it is today."

As Lin Chen said, he tapped on the table and asked Li Jingtian: "What suit do you like best, just pick one?"

Li Jingtian was stunned for a moment, as if he suspected that there was something hidden in his question. After careful consideration, he finally answered: "Sunshine."

Lin Chen pushed the poker horizontally again, and he pushed a golden sun Ace out of the card pile, and continued: "This game is very simple, and it is mainly a game of luck. Both sides of the game will choose one of the 1 upside-down cards from 10-10. Draw a card, the one with the larger number wins. Of course, the game of pure ratio is a little stupid, but the interesting thing about this game is its bet. The winner of each round can ask the loser any question. The game stipulates that the loser must Answer truthfully, if you really don’t want to answer, you can only cut yourself a knife to show your determination.”

Lin Chen opened the wooden box on the table with his other hand.

A short dagger lay quietly in the wooden box, against the backdrop of black velvet, the blade of the dagger shone with dazzling silver light.

Li Jingtian laughed. He could hardly restrain the corners of his mouth from rising, but he had to maintain an innocent attitude: "This game is too dangerous. We can compare the size, but can we not bet?"

"As long as you answer the questions truthfully, the game is not dangerous at all."

Li Jingtian shook his head, as if he felt that Lin Chen's proposal was too much: "But how can we judge that the other party answered truthfully?"

"It's very simple. All the viewers in front of the TV and in front of the computer can help us check all this."

Li Jingtian couldn't help laughing. He pushed the wooden chair and stood up, with a guilty tone: "Although I think this game is quite interesting, I am sorry that I really have to catch a plane and I cannot continue with you. If possible, Consultant Lin is welcome to come to the new game one day." Ni, I will walk backwards to meet you."

"Oh, I know you have to catch a plane, your flight will take off at 15:30, assuming you need to enter the security check four or 10 minutes earlier, plus the driving time from the Xinni embassy to Yongchuan Airport, the exact departure time from the embassy at 14:00 If you go, you should still be able to catch the plane."

"But it's almost time now." Li Jingtian knocked on his watch, looking helpless.

"Well, there is still a quarter of an hour, enough for five games, and three out of five games." Lin Chen said here, picked up the clock on the table, turned the clockwork, and adjusted the timer for 15 minutes.

The ticking of an old-fashioned alarm clock immediately began to echo through the room.

Li Jingtian turned his head slowly, staring at the clock on the table, his face turned pale for a moment.

Lin Chen calmly said: "Come back, the door is locked and will not open until 15 minutes later. Of course, you can choose not to play this game, but the audience in front of the TV will definitely regret it."
