Criminal Psychology

It was almost noon, but it was not yet noon.

The bell that heralds lunch has not yet rang, and the last class before lunch is not over yet.

The sun shone obliquely from above, and there was a large area of ​​shadow between the two buildings, and there was no one outside the building.

The school security guards had already begun to wash away the blood on the ground, and the water flow made the entire square wet.

Walking up from the bottom of the No. 3 teaching building, you can occasionally hear the voices of teachers lecturing. Those voices are high or low, floating back and forth in the cold corridor, but there is no lively feeling. The human voice makes people feel that the surroundings are too quiet.

On the roof of the teaching building, the old iron door was pushed open again.

At the place where Xu Haozhen jumped off the building, there were two police officers who were doing the final site survey. The sudden sound of the iron chain colliding with the door frame made the two of them tremble violently.

They turned their heads and saw two more people stepping onto the roof one after another against the sun.

"Captain Xing... Captain Xing?" One of the police officers couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief when he recognized the person.

"How was the scene?" Xing Conglian walked in front of the two of them. He had clearly seen the live broadcast of the suicide and knew that there were no other people waiting on the rooftop at that time, but he still wanted to ask one more question.

The outdoor sunlight was still very dazzling. He raised his eyes and looked straight ahead. Because the sunlight shifted, the shadow of the teaching building opposite covered him, and he had to be very careful to see the surveillance camera on the roof of that building.

The angle of the camera has been adjusted, and everything seems to be gone.

"It should be a suicide. Judging from the footprint analysis, there is no trace of pushing." One of the police officers straightened up and replied.

It's just that although the police officer answered like this, the expression on his face was very embarrassing, and he even hesitated to speak.

"What's the matter, what happened just now?" Xing Conglian was keenly aware of his slightly opened mouth, so he asked.

"What do you call this?" The police officer took off his hat, brushed his hair, and put on the mask again, looking very irritable, "Just now the school leaders came downstairs to quarrel with Jiang team, Said that we did not handle the case properly and did not prevent the students from committing suicide in time..."

"Can you blame us? This is because the school's mental health education is not in place." Another police officer in charge of trace inspection interjected.

Seeing the depressed look of the two who couldn't hold back their complaints, the fight downstairs just now must have been extremely quarrelsome.

It's just that, how could the school leaders accuse the police for no reason, and if there is nothing wrong, there must be something wrong.

Xing Conglian didn't continue to ask the reason, but turned around subconsciously, looking for Lin Chen's figure.

But as soon as he turned his head, he was so frightened that he almost cried out.

Lin Chen didn't know when, he stood on the edge of the roof.

The strong wind blows across the sky, Lin Chen's clothes and hair are all messed up by the wind, as if the next moment, he will go with the wind.

A certain scene from long ago suddenly appeared in Xing Conglian's mind.

It was also the same wind and this kind of person. At that time, the bridge railing broke, and he watched the young man in white on the bridge fall into the air.

With a livid face, he hurried a few steps, and quietly came behind Lin Chen.

However, just as he stretched out his hand and was about to hook Lin Chen, Lin Chen suddenly turned his head as if eyes had grown in the back of his head.

For a moment, he and Lin Chen got very close, and the shadows in the building were like ink, making Lin Chen's face dark and unclear.

"The feeling of standing here is scary, right?" Lin Chen asked suddenly.

"Come down first, don't make dangerous moves."

Xing Conglian took another step forward, trying to hold him back, but Lin Chen cleverly avoided his hand.

Because he was standing on the edge of the roof, following Lin Chen's voice, he subconsciously looked downstairs.

The wind is getting stronger.

Looking down from a height, the floors here are actually higher than imagined.

"Tell me, why was she so happy when she jumped from here?" Lin Chen asked again.

"You come down first and then talk."

"Actually, such things exist."

"what?"

"Excites you, excites you, delights you, makes you feel omnipotent, makes you never leave it..."

Lin Chen spoke suddenly, his eyes were dark and bright, as if there was light.

In Xing Conglian's ears, there was only the sound of strong winds. He watched Lin Chen speak and his expression, and knew that he was talking about something very important, but those voices couldn't enter his mind no matter what.

Xing Conglian found that he was indeed afraid as Lin Chen said.

He quickly reached out and grabbed Lin Chen's arm, trying to pull him off the edge of the roof, but the next moment, he held it empty again, and Lin Chen's figure was also lost in his vision.

The sense of fear is like the kiss of a poisonous snake, which makes people feel as if they have fallen into an ice cellar and feel cold all over.

"How does the adrenaline rush feel?"

A faint voice came from under him.

Hearing this, Xing Conglian quickly lowered his head and found Lin Chen sitting on the edge of the roof.

That posture is exactly the same as Xu Haozhen's appearance before jumping off the building.

Xing Conglian took a deep breath, he saw a sly smile on Lin Chen's face, like a child who succeeded in playing a prank, the smile disappeared in a flash, Xing Conglian suddenly wanted to drag him home and beat him hard pause.

However, his thought of beating someone also disappeared in a flash.

"Stimulation." Xing Conglian said coldly.

Exciting, very exciting, overexcited.

Xing Conglian's voice was very deep, like the hoarse sound of ice blocks floating on the sea rubbing against each other.

Lin Chen turned his head and saw that Xing Conglian's expression was really bad, obviously he was really frightened.

He hurriedly turned around, grabbed the edge of the roof, and wanted to get up. The next second, his eyes went dark, and he felt a huge force coming from his waist, and he fell back to the hard concrete floor.

Lin Chen's knees softened, he subconsciously supported Xing Conglian's chest, and took a few breaths.

Xing Conglian didn't speak.

Lin Chen let go of his hand and raised his head quickly, only to see that Xing Conglian's eyes had turned dark green, his pupils were also dilated, his complexion was livid and his aura was terrifying.

That was something Lin Chen had never seen before.

"Sorry, I shouldn't have used you as a reference." He apologized hastily.

Lin Chen's posture was sincere, and his voice was a little soft. Xing Conglian suddenly became angry: "For reference, what did you just say? Why do I feel that what you said seems to be drugs?"

"In fact, it is very similar. The physiological mechanism of drugs is to activate the euphoric center of the brain, stimulate the rapid increase of dopamine, and release euphoria. Things like norepinephrine will excite your peripheral nerves, speed up your heartbeat, and excite you. Lin Chen pulled Xing Conglian, took two steps away from the rooftop, and said, "Whether it's Wang Shishi or Xu Haozhen, they all seemed very happy and satisfied when they died."

"But I remember that in the autopsy report, there was no mention that alcohol or drugs were detected in their bodies." Xing Conglian said.

"In fact, from a physiological point of view, it's not just alcohol or drugs. When you eat delicious food, when you fall in love, or even when you have sex, your brain will secrete these substances to make you happy and make you ecstatic. The essential mechanism of human addiction." Lin Chen said, "Pleasure is something that human beings cannot refuse. In order to constantly pursue such a pleasant and exciting feeling, many people start drinking, taking drugs, and promiscuous sex..."

"So, Wang Shishi and Xu Haozhen are all pursuing the ultimate pleasure, even the pleasure of death?" Xing Conglian suddenly remembered the expressions of the three young people indulging in pleasure in those sex photos. Those people in the network are providing pleasure, and they themselves are also enjoying that extreme pleasure.

Thinking of this, Xing Conglian shuddered.

"However, the question is whether everyone dares to deviate from the normal moral code and dare to pursue such pleasure, otherwise, the workload of the police will increase exponentially." Lin Chen didn't hold back anymore, he explained without waiting for Xing Conglian to ask questions. Get up: "We can use Freud's most classic psychodynamic theory to explain this problem." Lin Chen paused and met Xing Conglian's eyes, "Our personality is divided into 'id' and 'ego' , and the 'superego', for example, the 'id' is at the bottom of the personality, composed of innate instincts and desires, you can think of it as a wild horse; the 'superego' is the top level of personality, following moral principles , suppress the impulse of the id, as if it is the rules of the road; and the 'ego' is in the middle, you can think of the ego as the rider who drives the wild horse. Then, if the rider has problems, the wild horse will run wild, ignoring the rules, lead to mental illness in humans..."

Xing Conglian suddenly understood Lin Chen's meaning: "That is to say, Wang Shishi and the others are unable to monitor themselves, making them obsessed with the pursuit of the desire of the "self"?"

"Do you still remember the earth-shaking changes that happened to them?" Lin Chen asked.

"what do you mean……"

"They lost themselves. The Xu Haozhen you see is not real, that Xu Haozhen."

The sun was blocked by clouds, the shadows moved, and the wind was bitingly cold.

Xing Conglian couldn't speak for a long time, finally, he calmed down and asked, "Why?"

What is the reason that causes human beings to lose themselves?

Lin Chen didn't answer this question, because any answer related to it would be extremely dangerous. He looked towards the forest in the distance, and the sparkling lake at the end of the forest.

Just then, the bell rang for the end of get out of class.

The radio suddenly began to play lunch break music. At first, it was just a slight piano sound, like dew dripping from the branches. Gradually, the sounds became more and more passionate and louder, like countless small streams converging and colliding. They blend and tear each other, Finally galloped into the sea.

"Please be sure to remind Jiang Chao that the people we are going to face are those who pursue instinctive pleasure, have no shame, no sense of morality, and may even become lawless..." Lin Chen said.

"The next live broadcast will be very dangerous, right?"

Lin Chen looked down at the campus and said, "Yes, they are not even afraid of the gun in your hand, but do you dare to shoot at them?"
