Criminal Psychology

The slight sound of high heels sounded, tap, tap, tap...

Lin Chen suddenly turned over and sat up. The ward was extremely dark. He listened attentively, and there was a faint crying sound coming from nowhere.

He turned on his cell phone and checked the time. At 21:11, Xing Conglian hadn't called so far, which meant that they hadn't caught Shen Lian.It is obviously unreasonable for a single woman to not return home after nine o'clock in the evening.

Lin Chen became more and more uneasy.

Suddenly, he recognized the sound of an ambulance from the faint voices coming from the space around him.

One, two... It seems that more and more ambulances are driving into the hospital area.

He looked up at the hanging bottle, there was only a bottom left of the saline solution, he pulled out the needle without hesitation, walked to the window, and looked down.

There were not too many people around the emergency building, but uniformed police officers and some terrified crowd could be seen faintly.Because the floor he was on was very high, it was difficult to tell the exact situation below.Immediately afterwards, another police car drove into the courtyard, and the back door opened. Lin Chen recognized the identity of the person who got out of the car from the figure and the bright top of his head.

He immediately turned around and went out. The corridor in the intensive care unit was empty, and the lights in the nurse's station not far away were dazzling.

When passing by the nurse's station, Lin Chen was stopped by someone.

"This patient, it's rest time now, you can't walk around at will, go to rest quickly."

Before the little nurse finished speaking, Lin Chen's cell phone vibrated crazily. The number on the screen did not belong to Xing Conglian or Dynasty. Lin Chen signaled the nurse to wait a moment and connect the phone.

"Lin Chen, please tell me."

"Consultant Lin, are you in the hospital? Something went wrong with the arrest operation... The director is here, and you need to go downstairs immediately."

"Where are you?"

"We are in the emergency building, and the media will probably arrive later, so please be quick."

"clear."

Lin Chen hung up the phone, briefly explained to the nurse that the situation was urgent, and then ran towards the elevator.

When Lin Chen arrived at the emergency building, the first thing Lin Chen heard was crying. Of course, it is normal to have crying in the hospital, but the sound was too shrill, as if he wanted to pull out his heart and lungs.Taking advantage of the gap between the opening and closing of the iron door of the emergency room, Lin Chen looked in and could only see a lot of blood-stained gauze.The nurse holding the plasma almost bumped into him, Lin Chen hurriedly withdrew, and following the flow of people, he found the old director in the doctor's office.

Director Wu will be retiring in less than half a year. He has always been laid back and indifferent. Lin Chen has never seen this old man frowning.

"What happened, where is Xing Conglian?" Lin Chen asked.

Director Wu looked up at him, and when he heard the word Xing Conglian, the director frowned obviously. Lin Chen supported the table and stood up straight, but became extremely calm.There are several doctors sitting across the desk, Lin Chen glanced at each other's badges, brain surgery, neurology...

What happened, the brain science related experts from the whole hospital moved here.

Seeing that the chief did not speak, the assistant police officer at the side said to him: "Consultant Lin, wait a moment, we are waiting for the Criminal Squad to have a short meeting with the experts."

Lin Chen nodded.

At this moment, the sound of messy footsteps came from the corridor outside the office, the door swung open, and the figure of Xing Conglian appeared at the door, beside him was the deputy captain Zhang Ping.Dynasty is not here.

Xing Cong was covered in blood from his front to his chest, his hands were red, and his jacket went somewhere.Lin Chen and him looked at each other, Xing Conglian's eyes were numb for a few seconds, and then he saw grief in Xing Conglian's deep eyes.

"Get over here and tell me what's going on today!" Director Wu slammed the table, and everyone in the office was shocked.

Lin Chen turned his head, glanced at the rarely furious chief, and said calmly, "Calm down."

"A policeman died under my subordinates, why the fuck are you telling me to calm down?" The director's whole face became serious, he slammed the table up, pointed at Xing Conglian and cursed, "Xiaoan's girlfriend and parents will be here soon , you go and explain to others why a good arrest operation has become like this, and you shot at random in the downtown area, who the hell allowed you to do this, have you considered the impact!"

Lin Chen replied instead of Xing Conglian: "He is performing official duties on the front line, and only he knows whether he should shoot or not. I don't think it's fair to hold the front-line police officers accountable as soon as something goes wrong."

After speaking, he dragged two chairs from the corner and let the two people who entered the door sit down.

Director Wu was so angry that his veins burst out, but he finally said nothing.

"Officer An died in the line of duty?" Lin Chen found a chair and sat down, and asked.

Xing Conglian looked at him and nodded.

Lin Chen's heart trembled. Looking at Xing Conglian, who was covered in blood, he immediately understood where the blood came from. "Resisting arrest because of Chen Lian?" He asked Xing Conglian.

"No." Xing Conglian finally spoke, but did not continue.

Zhang Pingdao: "We didn't see Shen Lian's person at all."

"What happened at the scene, and why did it happen?"

There were cries and footsteps in the corridor, but the office fell into absolute silence, and the incandescent light flickered.

"I don't know." Xing Conglian said clearly.

"You fucking don't know!" Director Wu slapped the table again.

Lin Chen ignored the furious director behind him, and ignored everyone in the office. He held Xing Conglian's hand, his hand trembling a little, but he still tried his best to calm himself down, and said softly to Xing Conglian: "The hospital experts are all here, we The sooner we can figure out the situation, the sooner we can solve the problem.”

Xing Conglian pursed his lips. For a moment, he showed a look of extreme indifference, and then the focus gradually converged. Xing Conglian said: "We really don't know what the problem is. Around 21:00, our communication channel There was a noise, and then there was a riot at the barbecue stall at the entrance of the alley. The stall owner and the diners scuffled together. Police officer An died in the line of duty in order to protect the residents.” Xing Conglian’s report was very concise, “During the process, I opened Two shots were fired, one shot hit the owner of the barbecue stall, and the other shot hit the suspect who murdered the police officer, the ballistics at the scene and eyewitness statements can be confirmed.”

Lin Chen's thoughts turned, and he soon knew where the problem was.

He firmly believes in the Xing Conglian gun law, but with Xing Conglian in charge, he made it clear that he hit the suspect, but the police officer still died in the line of duty. This is not a simple problem that can be explained.

Xing Conglian seemed to be caught in a deep memory. He said: "This is my wrong choice. I should have chosen to kill the suspect in the first place instead of removing his mobility."

Lin Chen raised his head: "In other words, your bullet didn't remove his mobility?"

"No." Xing Conglian said, "They don't seem to feel pain, and they acted entirely on instinct. The incident happened so suddenly that we really haven't figured out what the problem is so far."

"Guns didn't remove their ability to move. How is this possible?" said the director of a certain department who had been sitting very quietly in the office, "They turned into zombies?"

"The scene has been completely sealed off, and the people from the General Administration of Food and Drug Production and the Epidemic Prevention Center have all arrived before we came back."

"Epidemic prevention center?" Lin Chen asked.

"Because of the biting phenomenon at the scene of the crime, some people could not control their emotions, so they reported to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention." Xing Conglian said.

"Is this a biohazard!" Director Wu couldn't hold back again, "Catch people well, why did you suddenly start eating people?"

"How could this happen suddenly?" Another expert said, "There have been no such cases in our city in recent years."

"You are neuroscience experts, you should know that the possibility of this situation still exists." Lin Chen said lightly.

"Yeah, either it's a brain lesion, or it's the effect of the drug." Another person said, "Rabies?"

"As far as I can tell, the drug effect is more likely." Lin Chen said.

"That's right." The experts chattered and discussed, "But what kind of drug is it, it needs to be checked in detail."

"However, the CDC's approach is also right. I think it is necessary to carry out first-level biochemical isolation. It is best for all relevant personnel who have been in contact with the patient to be isolated and observed."

Lin Chen pursed his lips, and when he heard the other party talking about quarantine, he forced his way into the conversation. He said seriously: "I suggest looking for other reasons during the quarantine observation to prevent public panic. After all, this case is already quite sensational. ' is not the right word."

"Of course, but what should I say?" the doctor asked.

"It is still explained by drugs. If it is determined that the people involved in the fight and the murder have no subjective history of drug use, they should have taken drugs passively. And the incident happened at a barbecue stand, and the smoke was very heavy, so it is not ruled out that there may be related people who also passively took drugs The possibility of drugs, for the sake of everyone's health, I hope that relevant personnel can accept hospital observation." Lin Chen continued to say to the other party, "If the media asks you about the patient's condition, you can explain it with the relevant cases that have appeared in the United States. "A few years ago in a town in the United States, there was a case similar to a homeless man turning into a zombie and attacking residents and biting his face. The local police finally concluded that the homeless man was affected by a drug called "salt bath". This leads to uncontrolled panic attacks. "

"Oh... I seem to have heard of it, but if the media asks why drug addicts suddenly appear at the barbecue stand, how do we answer those crazy people taking drugs?" Some experts asked.

Lin Chen was surprisingly calm from the beginning to the end: "Experts, please tell the media that this part of the problem should be investigated by the police. You don't know the specific progress of the investigation, so just push it to us." Lin Chen answered calmly.

"Okay then, let's see the patient first." Several experts got up one after another.

The office door opened, and there were media flashing lights and reporters' questioning at the entrance of the emergency center in the distance.

"I heard that there is a phenomenon of cannibalism?"

"Is it real Resident Evil?"

"Has the government withheld relevant information from the public?"

Several doctors walked to the door, and suddenly someone turned around and asked, "Why are you wearing our hospital gown?"

Hearing the voices of the reporters one after another, Lin Chen froze for a moment, looked at himself from the beginning to the end, and said, "I think I should go change my clothes now."
