Criminal Psychology

Lin Chen fell silent.

At this moment, Xing Conglian was afraid that he would ask, what choice would you make?

However, Lin Chen said, "Fu Hao dug a hole for you."

"Isn't that the case?" Xing Conglian felt that he was dizzy, "Fu Hao was very secretive at the time, and I can't say this or that. Is it too late for me to beat him now?"

Lin Chen touched his hand, signaling him to be safe and not to worry.

"Situational issues have their situational nature, but because of the influence of the overall perception, it is easy for people to subconsciously consider macro issues in the cognitive process and ignore the covered details, but in real situations, details often determine everything."

Xing Conglian frowned and became nervous: "For example, why did those children appear on the rails, why couldn't they leave the rails freely, and how did you become the one to pull the lever?"

Lin Chen interrupted him: "The real trolley problem is as follows - a lunatic has tied five innocent people to the tram tracks. A runaway tram is coming towards them and will run over them in a few moments. Lucky Yes, you can pull a lever to make the trolley go to another track. But the problem is that that madman also tied a person on the other tram track. Considering the above situation, would you pull the lever?"

"I will pull." Xing Conglian said without hesitation.

"Congratulations, your choice is consistent with about 89% of people. The survey results come from a test conducted by psychologist Mark Hauser on 20 people around the world." Lin Chen said, "Now you can find out why details are very important." , now, I will fill in the complete details for you." Lin Chen closed the book with a firm tone without the slightest hesitation.

He said: "Four years ago, I worked in a certain provincial police station, and Huang Ze was my superior. On November 11 of that year, we received a report, and four families reported that someone was missing at home. Those were four excellent Young people, including Chen Yujun, the younger brother of Chen Dong, Wu Shanshan, the nephew of Director Wu, a young master of the Zhou family, and Huang Weiwei, Huang Ze’s younger sister. Huang Weiwei and I are old acquaintances. My brother Lin Chen."

"It's the son of a powerful family." Xing Conglian said, "Kidnapping?"

Lin Chen nodded: "My experience back then was similar to today's. During the detection process, we were led to the library..."

Xing Conglian was stunned, the scene now was too similar to that of the past.

Lin Chen continued: "I found a book in the gaps in the bookshelf, the two words BLINDARBITERS were circled on the page, and clues were left." Lin Chen said, "Because of some schemes of the criminals, finally the real The only person who appeared in the factory was me, and I was stripped of positioning and communication facilities. What Huang Ze, including Fu Hao, saw was the result. And all the files did not record the truth of the incident, because I covered up the truth."

"I believe you." Xing Conglian said.

Lin Chen heard the words and glanced at him: "Your trust is based on your understanding of my morality and personality. In fact, this story conceals the truly dark, dirty, cowardly and incompetent part of my human nature. I have thought about it countless times. I mustered up the courage to tell you, but failed, I hope you can listen to this story before making conclusions.”

Lin Chen was very sincere, Xing Conglian sat up straight and nodded.

"After arriving at the factory building, I entered the first room according to the guidance. There was a note on the door."

"What's on the note?"

"Experimental instructions." Lin Chen lowered his eyes and said mockingly, "To be honest, I have participated in and implemented countless experiments. I never thought that one day, someone would take such a test."

Lin Chen choked up, as if trying to calm himself down, but Xing Conglian couldn't feel any abnormality from his tone.

He said: "The instructions are as follows—sincerely thank you for participating in this experiment, please read the instructions carefully. This is a choice judgment experiment. In the next task, you will have the opportunity to enter three rooms. Please read the materials carefully, and then make a choice. After understanding the above instructions, please open the door and enter the experiment, good luck :).”

"You went in." Xing Cong used declarative sentences repeatedly.

"Yes, I went in." Lin Chen said, "Behind the door is the most common factory room, with countless photos and materials pasted on the wall. Apart from the four kidnapped, I also saw 16 other people."

"16 criminals?"

"No, since it's a difficult problem, there's no such a simple and rude way to come up with a question." Lin Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the sun. Until today, he seemed to be able to report the life of each of them without any hindrance.

Lin Chen said: "Among the 16 people, 5 have criminal records for petty theft, 5 are ordinary migrant workers from various industries, and the remaining 6 are social idlers."

"On one side are a few high-level elites and children from rich families, and on the other side are most of the bottom of society." Xing Conglian took a deep breath, "The intentions are sinister."

"Then, I went up to the second floor, entered the second room, and saw two videos." Lin Chen still maintained a calm tone, as if he had completely stripped from the whole incident, like a ghost forest or a ghost, he said, "The first video is the scene when the four elite children were forcibly kidnapped. The criminals should observe them for a long time, so they should be careful and ruthless when they attack."

"What about the second video?"

"The second video is very long, and it is the reason why the remaining 16 people appeared in this factory building. It is very consistent, the remaining 16 people were all lured out of greed, and they believed in the criminals, thinking that the criminals were just hosting a A psychology experiment."

"This is the so-called reason why the remaining 16 people didn't listen to the advice?" Xing Conglian felt a chill, Lin Chen probably had a premonition the moment he saw the first room, he couldn't imagine what Lin Chen was holding. The mood continues.

"You don't have to jump to the third room right away." Lin Chen said.

"What else is in the second room?"

"A choice."

"choose?"

"At the end of the video, another prompt appeared. It roughly means that I can now choose to leave the room and go back to seek rescue. No one will stop me during the process, but I will bear the consequences; I can also choose to go to the last room and complete the experiment."

Xing Conglian held Lin Chen's hand, and the latter looked back at him, only saying: "I actually have no choice, you know."

"I know." He replied.

"The third room is on the third floor. There is a black cloth covering the front of the room. You can find that the floors are getting higher and higher. When I go to a high place, I can probably guess what I will see."

"What's there?

"Before pulling away the black cloth, I saw the last video." Lin Chen paused, breathing steadily, "The last video is very blurry, the camera is pressed down very low, and the picture is very dark, so I can only hear the voice-over. "

"Is this the persuasion part in the legend?" Xing Conglian asked.

"Yes." Lin Chen said, "The speaker should be the younger brother of Mr. Chen's family that you have met. He is very different from his brother. Young master Chen is a mechanical engineer, and he is very good at research and development. And smart tech geek, which is probably why the murderer just picked him. He told the others that they had to switch to the other side, it was very dangerous."

"But except for the elite children who met Xiao Chen, no one believes him?"

"You can imagine that the 16 people who were tricked into believing that they were just participating in a psychological experiment, and the main experimenter asked them to stay in this position until the end of the experiment, of course they regarded the four panicked young people as a kindness to them Just a test."

"I finally understand why you said details are important."

"This is probably the most important thing I learned in college. No matter what scientific research results you see, you should track its source, selection of subjects, policy implementation process, data processing methods, etc., instead of just looking at the results." He pursed his lips and laughed, "But this will bring about a problem. After you understand the whole process, you would rather you didn't see anything at first."

"And then?" Xing Conglian asked because he was afraid that Lin Chen would be limited by his emotions.

"Like all psychological experiments, after the video ended, there was a final instruction, but this instruction was broadcast through the radio, and the voice was very clear and peaceful. I still remember every word." Lin Chen panned Legs, sitting on a stool, the imitator heard the words at the time, even with a sensational smile in his tone, "Congratulations on entering the last part of the experiment, you have 5 minutes to think. Behind the scenes, you will see When there are two groups of people, please pull the joystick according to the materials obtained earlier, and choose the group you think should survive. If you give up the choice, the group with more people will be executed immediately. I sincerely wish you good luck again .”

"After the sound stopped, the factory was very quiet at first, and as the dark curtain opened, there were screams everywhere in the factory." Lin Chen said without any pause, "There are two platforms in the air, and one platform stands on the other side. Looking at the four kidnapped young people whom I am going to rescue on this trip; and on another platform, there are 16 other people lying on the ground.”

"Lie down?"

"Yes, one party can ask me for help, while the other party is completely unconscious." Lin Chen blinked slowly: "How fair, because they don't have an advantage in numbers, they have the opportunity to impress me with words .”

Xing Conglian took a deep breath and asked him, "What else?"

"And..." Lin Chen looked up at the sun in the sky, and said peacefully, "You know, this is a steel factory, so there is still enough molten steel to make people burn to ashes, which can no longer be described as hot."

Lin Chen tried his best to keep calm from the beginning to the end, but when he said this, he finally couldn't restrain himself, and his voice trembled: "It's a balance system, and my task is to spend 5 minutes thinking about how to balance the system. Whose head is this pot of molten steel poured on. But, who among them should die?"

Xing Conglian looked at Lin Chen fiercely. Since he heard Fu Hao's story, he also tried to simulate the situation Lin Chen encountered at that time, but the real situation was always infinitely crueler than the simulated situation.

"To be honest, I really wanted to leave at that time. The countdown on the radio was still going on, and the numbers were jumping forward one by one. I had listened to the frightened cry for help for almost half a minute. Later, someone overwhelmed All the voices should be the first to speak." Lin Chen said lightly, "The young master of the Zhou family spoke first. Master Zhou is a lawyer, and his ability to control the field is clearly revealed at this moment. He begged me to save them, and he also After listening to the instructions, he said that those 16 people would have died, and if I pulled the joystick, I would be killing people. He said that Chen Yujun had already persuaded them, but they themselves did not listen, and they must be responsible for their own choices! "Lin Chen said, "I think what he said is very reasonable. Why should a few people pay for the stupidity of the majority? But, that's 16 lives. It's just because they have low education and can't understand the bearing system. , Easy to trust others, they deserve to die? Master Zhou's words are very reasonable, but I don't agree, I really can't agree with such a point of view. "

Xing Conglian could no longer intervene, so he could only say quietly: "Yes."

"He talked about laws, social systems, rules, and human nature. He said a lot... You can say he is selfish, but I don't think that is selfish. Everyone has the right to survive, right?"

Xing Conglian seemed to be standing on the high altitude of the factory building, looking at the young people who stood at the high altitude and desperately begged Lin Chen to survive: "This is the best moral test, no matter how you choose, no matter which side you die on , as long as the live video is released, there will be a huge wave of public opinion, and everyone will start to discuss rules, morality, good and evil. If a few elites survive, it means that the lives of the powerful are more precious than civilians; if most civilians survive, it will become It turns out that life can be measured by quantity rather than quality."

"Yeah, so at that time my mind was very confused, very confused, even I couldn't calm down. I knew what the murderer wanted to do, so I was very panicked, and I even turned around at that time." Lin Chen analyzed himself very calmly , "My nature is not as strong as you think. I'm a coward, really. I think it's good to stay out of it. I don't have to do anything. I don't break the law and don't seem to be responsible for anyone's death." Lin Chen looked at him with despair and decadence, but was too sober, "However, as you said, having no choice is already a choice. If Young Master Wu hadn't started cursing people, I would probably have collapsed and fled."

"Wu Shanshan scolded you?"

"No. Wu Shanshan pointed at Young Master Zhou's nose and called him an idiot. He told him to shut up. Now they force me to make a decision. Once they survive, they will become murderers and their conscience will be disturbed for the rest of their lives." Lin Chen paused, and said with some relief, "I have read Wu Shanshan's information. He is an athlete with a vigorous blood. Even at this moment, he is fighting for fairness for the other party. He is very kind and will have a very beautiful and prosperous life. It is unreasonable for such a young man to die in such a cruel and unreasonable thing."

Xing Conglian corrected him: "Don't forget, you were very young back then."

"I'm different. I have a public job." Lin Chen said with certainty.

Xing Conglian thought about it, Lin Chen probably really thought so.

The sun outside the window has dropped a little, and the green trees are swaying with the wind. It should have been a beautiful afternoon, but because of this story that can only be told while drinking, it has become cruel and bloody.

At this moment, none of them had to speak. They just raised the beer cans and touched each other lightly, as if they were encouraging each other, so that each other could finish telling and listening to the story.

"So, what happened to Counselor Lin, who is still in public office?" Xing Conglian asked.

"Time is very slow, but it is also very fast. The passage of time in physics is not affected by the time perception of psychology. At that time, almost 3 minutes had passed, and the molten steel in the sky began to tilt towards the 16 people who were unconscious." He laughed at himself, "The main tester is forcing me to make a choice. I am forced to walk to the joystick and stretch out my hand for the first time..."

Xing Conglian realized that the molten steel in the sky was the train rushing towards 16 people, and Lin Chen was really standing in the operator's position at this moment.He thought for a while, and said to Lin Chen: "The story you told so far is very close to what Fu Hao told. Then, what happened later that even he didn't know?"

"You can guess." Lin Chen said.

"Until now, there are two people who have not spoken, Chen Yujun and Huang Weiwei." Xing Conglian said.

"Yes." Lin Chen nodded, "Chen Yujun and Huang Weiwei had been sitting in the corner without talking, they were very quiet. The moment I touched the joystick, Master Zhou grabbed Huang Weiwei and asked her to answer one question."

"what is the problem?"

"He pointed to the comatose people on the other side, and raised a possibility. He said that the murderer might have killed those 16 people with the so-called sleeping pills just now, so even if I kill less and save more, it won't help. He asked Huang Weiwei to tell I, those people are dead."

Xing Conglian finally noticed the abnormality, and he became nervous: "Why did Master Zhou ask Huang Weiwei alone?"

"Because Weiwei is a doctor." Lin Chen's tone was light and sweet, like a brother addressing a favored little sister.

Xing Conglian's hand holding the wine jar couldn't help shaking. Lin Chen said that he and Huang Weiwei were old acquaintances. Lin Chen also said that the other party called her Brother Lin Chen.

Of course he knew that the relationship between Lin Chen and Huang Weiwei was just a pure brother and sister relationship, but it was because of the purity and love that it made all this more difficult.

"Since I appeared in front of them, Weiwei hasn't said a word to me, and I don't even dare to look at her like a coward." Lin Chen sniffed and smiled, "Actually, we have very Fate, she was my classmate in elementary school, we went to the same university later, and Huang Ze and I met because of her. Of course, I am born gay, and Weiwei doesn't like me, she likes obedient boys like little wolf dogs, The other party must have good muscles and treat her well. She is probably the most assertive girl I have ever seen. Her parents asked her to study business to inherit the family business. She wanted to be an obstetrician because she said she liked it. The joy of welcoming a new life. She is very capable and is already a resident doctor, so when Master Zhou asked her this, she stood up and told me clearly that the other party's chest was heaving and he was still breathing. The 16 people on the opposite side, they Still alive."

When Lin Chen talked about Huang Weiwei, he became a little rambling. Xing Conglian even became jealous for a moment, but he was very happy. The girl Lin Chen admired must be so upright and brave, which is admirable.

"What a chance to survive, as long as the molten steel pours down, who will know whether what she said is true or not, so stubborn, really like Huang Ze's sister." He said.

"Huang Ze, it's probably a thousand miles away from her." Hearing this, Lin Chen curled his lips, "For example, if the kidnapped person was Huang Ze, he wouldn't be keenly aware of the only one after answering the question. Don’t talk about that person’s anomaly.”

"What's wrong with Chen Yujun?"

"Actually, there is a loophole in the murderer's experiment. As a mechanical engineer, Chen Yujun knows where the loophole is. So he has been sitting in the corner. I think he must be struggling in his heart at that time."

"Huang Weiwei also saw the loophole?" Xing Conglian recalled Lin Chen's process again.

Balance game, a balance board erected in mid-air, with a thousand degrees of molten steel overhead.The murderer must ensure that everyone plays the game obediently, so there must be something deterring the sober children of the family, so that even if the police arrived in time, it would be difficult to save them in a short time.

Xing Conglian's whole body was cold, and he immediately figured out all the joints.

He looked at his lover sitting cross-legged next to him, and didn't want to listen anymore.

He stood up abruptly and said to Lin Chen: "Okay, I already know, you don't need to say it, now let's solve the clues left by the murderer or other things, you are not allowed to say anything more about this matter It has passed!"

"It hasn't passed, and it will never pass." Lin Chen looked into the distance, almost talking to himself, "At the countdown of 1 minute, Huang Weiwei squatted down and patted Chen Yujun's face, like Master Zhou asking her Like the question, she also asked Chen Yujun a question. This question was very short, and she asked him: Are we stepping on a landmine?"

"Lin Chen, stop talking!" Xing Cong yelled to stop with his eyes tearing open.

"The main examiner must have an anti-social personality. He may never experience human emotions such as love and kindness in his life, so he was born with a wrong estimate of human nature. This is where the loophole lies." Lin Chen looked directly at the sun in the sky, He didn't even blink his eyes, "Human nature, the loophole is human nature. There are too many people in this world who are kind by nature, and they will even sacrifice their lives for some strangers."

When Lin Chen said this, he finally turned his head. His eyes were red, but he insisted not to shed a tear: "You keep asking me what choices I made back then. Now let me tell you that I was a coward through and through. , I did not stand up in time to take the responsibility I should bear, but someone stepped forward, stood in front of me, and protected me with her life and soul. At 48 seconds from the countdown, Huang Weiwei jumped from the sky Down below, the balance board was loose, the mine was triggered, and molten steel fell from the sky, and the four of them were fused together..."

"Huang Weiwei, pull down that lever for me."

Lin Chen spoke clearly and firmly, and he finished his statement word by word.

Xing Conglian wanted to take out a cigarette, but his hands were trembling and he had no ability to control himself.It doesn't matter if the truth is covered up, so what is Lin Chen's choice, these things are not important at all, he regrets hearing this story, and even more regrets why he made Lin Chen go through the past again.

"You're not a coward." He said firmly, but he found himself choking up for the first time.

Lin Chen laughed at himself, looked up to the sky and drank the last sip of wine: "Huang Ze always asked me why I didn't die. At the beginning, I was thinking, yes, I should be the one who dies." He pinched Tighten the wine jar, but said calmly, "Huang Weiwei is also my sister, but not only did I fail to fulfill my responsibility to protect her, but I was also taken care of in every possible way. She didn't even say a word to me until she died, because she knew that regardless of her Saying anything will become the words that keep ringing in my nightmares. So ah, the smart girl smiled at me very simply before she died, she put a finger on her lips, told me to shut up, and then danced like this down."

Lin Chen turned his head and said with certainty, "This is the truth that has been covered up. The stupidity and brilliant brilliance of human nature shattered my desperate situation and broke all the plans of the murderer behind the scenes. This video cannot be released. The society that the murderer wants The frenzy of public opinion cannot continue at all, because of human nature, she is really beautiful."

"I don't know how much time she spent thinking and making up her mind, but it must have been very short, but she even thought about the best way to deal with this matter, which is the way I can't refuse and can only do so. Lin Chen said, "Just like that, I put my hand on the joystick and became the murderer instead of her. I was criticized by the four families but managed to escape the legal punishment. But only in this way, Weiwei will not become the Holy Mother in the eyes of rational people. She will become a murderer who wantonly deprives them of their lives to fulfill her nobleness, she can die peacefully, this is what she hopes, and it is the only thing I can do for her after being protected." Lin Chen paused After a pause, he said calmly, "That is, to cover up the truth."
