Criminal Psychology

Everything is silent, as ancient as night.

The damp and cold wind from the central air conditioner blows down, but it seems to have an extremely coarse taste of blood.

If it weren't for the footsteps and voices outside, which brought a little bit of fresh air, many elderly people in the room would probably take a long, long time to recover.

But older people also have the added benefit of being less trusting of others.

The old man has rich experience in life, is stubborn and decadent, and it is difficult to impress them with any ground-breaking novel thinking.

Xing Conglian thought, this is probably the reason why that person wanted the old people in the society to die cleanly.

"The Arabian Nights."

In short, after Xing Conglian explained the long theoretical basis, Minister Shen thought for a long time, but raised his old head and answered with such disdain.

"That's right, you want to decide the future of mankind with one vote?" Another old man was finally woken up and agreed.

"I think the biggest possibility is that this incident will be forgotten in a few years. Why does he think that he can change the future genetic direction of the entire human race? Is he crazy?"

"Professor Zheng is right. The worst case scenario is that he ends up proving that everyone is selfish. People start killing each other again for their own interests, but it will eventually return to a stable state, and society will once again conclude a new stable contract. , after all, the number of remaining psychopaths is too rare."

"2%." Xing Conglian said.

"What did you say?"

"On the Hale scale, which measures psychopathy, the most extreme psychopaths make up 2 percent of the population, a figure that remains constant across racial groups."

"That's right, it's only 2%, how big a storm can it cause?"

"you are wrong."

"Do you have to raise the bar? Xing Conglian!"

"Extremeness in the psychological scale is statistically significant. What if the group psychology itself is already biased?"

"Deviation is deviation. To develop a society, we must rely on mutual cooperation and dedication. Individuals in a population are always ready to sacrifice themselves for the collective benefit, then the population will be more competitive. In a society that kills each other, human populations will gradually die out. Victory is impossible, so nature is never a blind arbiter..."

"This is the tyranny of the majority over the minority. Those perverts who affect the stability of the population are naturally abandoned!"

The old people spoke clearly and logically, and Xing Conglian interrupted them halfway through.

"You lost." He looked down at these "old people" from a high position.

At this time, Xing Conglian was almost possessed by Lin Chen, sharp and cold, arrogant and merciless. Of course, he himself was standing here instead of Lin Chen.

The old people choked on him, and some even started to cough dryly.

Xing Conglian said: "When you start to consider the reality and possibility of his ideas, and try to find reasons to criticize him, you have already been led into the ditch by him." He said that what he needs is discussion, and there is There will be two voices in the discussion, and he will also gain more and more supporters because of this incident.Those are the supporters you thought didn't exist, but do exist. "

The head of the provincial department has endured until now, and has been very polite to Xing Conglian, but even he couldn't help but said: "Then what do you say, block the news and prohibit discussion?"

"Blocking news is the worst way to handle a crisis."

"Then block the Internet and prohibit voting."

"In the long run, we can thoroughly study the TERN isomers, but in the short term, it is impossible. So the hostages in his hands are the lives of all citizens. If he really asks us to force the voting website to go online, you Do you really dare to make this page undisplayable?" Xing Conglian asked.

"Xing Conglian, you're bad enough." The expert in the network department suddenly remembered something, and he patted the desktop: "It was you who brought us into the ditch from the very beginning! Even if the dark web is temporarily our monitoring blind spot, once This voting game dares to go online, we have [-] ways to monitor it, track criminal IPs, and even manipulate the results, all of which can be done!"

"That's right, even if he wants people from every city in the three provinces to vote, why should we do what he says? Make a plan in advance and direct the results to a place we approve, isn't it enough?"

"Internet public opinion can also be manipulated, and it's not very difficult." Public opinion experts said.

"So, which city are you going to sacrifice?" Xing Conglian asked.

A basin of cold water was poured on the head again, and the passionate discussions in the command room stagnated and solidified.

Everyone has an unhappy expression on their faces. After all, voluntary dedication and forced sacrifice after strategic analysis are completely different concepts.

Even if they have a way to make this matter seamless, but still fall into some established trap, that person has a way to strip those beautiful things out of the ugly core.

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, you should come up with a solution!"

……

Lin Chen turned on the TV.

I have been busy in and out of the interrogation room before, and the small police officer responsible for installing the TV belongs to the technical department of this prison.

The boy has never experienced anything really cruel, but after hearing the frightening information that Lin Chen casually said, the boy turned pale. state.

After Lin Chen nodded to him, he was finally able to exit the small gray room.

Shen Lian raised the corner of her mouth again, and looked at the closed door with contempt.

Lin Chen picked up the remote control panel, turned to face the TV, and asked her in a very gentlemanly manner: "Do you need any special proof to confirm that this news is indeed from the live broadcast, and not that we edited it to lie to you?"

The woman shook her head, appearing trusting.

He turned up the volume a little, then put down the remote control board.

There was finally some voice of modern civilized society in the room. The news program had entered the next stage, and the female anchor was summarizing all the events that had happened in the past few days.

From Nordlund to Naokangning, from nursing homes to Zhourui Pharmaceuticals.

The news summarized the sequence of events from beginning to end, and Shen Lian was able to leave the country proudly.

The previous attacks were terrifying enough, and the news only dared to mention "research is being stepped up" on the part of TERN isomers.

Probably because the director also felt that he could no longer continue to be so scary, and the news of the next stage finally became a slightly reassuring part.

"The police have made a breakthrough in the investigation of the case. It is reported that the number one suspect named Shen Lian was arrested by the police yesterday evening." , the surprise interrogation against Shen Lian has been carried out quickly and orderly, I believe a breakthrough will be made soon, now let us follow the camera to review the situation at that time..."

The picture fades in, and the soundtrack starts first.

It's a fast-paced song, and it's often used in movies where the justice side makes the final counterattack.As the news anchor broadcasts the breaking news in the news, the police officers from all over the city are dispatched, the traffic lights are flashing in the screen, and the police cars are shuttling like weaving.

The number of the nursing home then appeared, but only a symbolic shot was given. The scene changed again, and the map of Hongjing City appeared, and the traffic was cleverly allocated.This shows the scene when Lin Chen set up a trap to arrest Shen Lian.

Finally, countless police cars stopped in front of Zhou Rui Building.

The camera lens kept going up until it reached the highest floor, and then stopped suddenly.

The soundtrack also came to an abrupt end.

There is no more soundtrack, and no more quick mix-cut shots. The corridors are clean and white, and the atmosphere is unbelievably comfortable.

At this time, the figures of Lin Chen and Shen Lian appeared on the TV.

The surveillance video from yesterday afternoon was replaced on the news screen. If the police hadn't let go, it would be impossible for ordinary media to get this internal video.

The sunset light is soft, and the police consultant in the picture is talking to the number one suspect.

They held the ampoules and touched the bottle mouths lightly, like old friends.

……

The senior officials in the command room of the Municipal Bureau also saw this news at the same time.

The news dubbing said: "At that time, the suspect Shen Lian intended to commit suicide. In order to stop the suspect, the police negotiator finally agreed to inject high doses of drugs in order to save the suspect's life and gain opportunities for the next stage of negotiations. "

After this segment ended, the screen switched back to the studio center again.

The female anchor looked to the side: "Next, we will invite editor-in-chief Zhang, a special commentator, to analyze the intention of the police in this round of operations."

The camera shifted, and a man in a POLO shirt appeared next to the female anchor. He pondered for a moment, pretending to think about answering the question: "To be honest, I can't understand the intention of the police for the time being. But I am afraid that for the public, It is not good news for the police to compromise with criminals this time."

"You still need to analyze it in detail."

Editor-in-chief Zhang pushed his glasses: "I suspect that the police made a judgment based on certain information. The police think that Shen Lian is very important, so in order to obtain Shen Lian's cooperation, the police consultant must risk his life."

"In other words, the police don't have a definite solution to the drugs used by criminals?" the female anchor asked.

"This is for sure. Unless the internal core personnel disclose the relevant data, no matter how much power is used across the country, it is impossible to thoroughly study a compound in a short period of time, let alone find an immediate treatment method..."

"Can negotiators exchange their own lives for the suspect's chance of survival, can it be compared to a compromise with terrorists? This behavior seems to be self-sacrifice, but in fact it fuels the arrogance of criminals. It is really effective. strategy?"

Editor Zhang on TV was still explaining, but the people in this small glass room had already reacted.

Of course, the "old people" would not be so stupid as to think that Lin Chen was "grabbing credit" by appearing in the news.

"Are you crazy?" The minister of the provincial department was the first to hit the table with his fist.

"Who allowed you to make claims without approval?"

"Don't pretend I can't see what you're thinking!"

Xing Conglian was the first to be criticized: "This is something that Lin Chen promised Shen Lian a long time ago." He said.

"Don't think that I don't know Lin Chen's personality. The false agreement at the time and the implementation of it now are not the same nature!" The director was furious, "You can make fake news to prevaricate Chen Lian, but you have to release it openly. , Don’t you just want to arouse social discussion!”

Xing Conglian shrugged, noncommittal.

"Since you have guessed the sinister intentions of the criminals, shouldn't you be more cautious in controlling public opinion. Now you dare to add fuel to the fire, I'm afraid there is not enough panic now?"

Another person spoke up: "Oh, they are just to tell the criminals - we know what you want to do, and we are not afraid of what you do!"

"But if it really wants to trigger a big discussion in the society, wouldn't it further satisfy the wishes of these anti-social people?"

"It's also possible that their motives are not so deep at all. They just want to kill people... like..."

The public opinion expert wanted to say more, but Minister Shen raised his eyes, interrupted him, and said to Xing Conglian: "In the final analysis, the speculation about the future development of the case is your guess."

Xing Conglian nodded: "It is indeed a guess."

The old man interrupted him: "In other words, there is a possibility that the second round of city voting will not happen at all, right?"
