Criminal Psychology

When Xing Conglian received the call, Lin Chen was squatting in front of the shelf, searching for a whole row of toothbrushes.

The hall downstairs is filled with the sound of dancing music, and there seems to be a DJ specially tuning the sound. The electronic sound mixed with the screams of the fans sounds so powerful that even if he is separated by two floors, he is not very happy. I could hear what Xing Conglian was saying on the phone.

"Are you ok?"

Xing Conglian's voice sounded a bit cold.

Then this sentence "Are you okay?" I think it should not be a daily greeting. Hearing the meaning of Xing Conglian's words, he was obviously worried that he might not be well.

"It's okay for now, what happened?"

As he answered, he carefully studied the toothbrushes hanging on the shelves.

Moji is indeed the favorite daily brand of petty bourgeoisie, even the toothbrush is dazzling.

A row of toothbrush heads in front of him were of different sizes, and even differentiated the hardness of the bristles. He picked up the label of each toothbrush and read it carefully from beginning to end. .

"That's right. One of our colleagues just came back from patrolling. He heard that the flow of people in the shopping mall exceeded the standard. Is the situation dangerous?"

"The shopping mall I walked in for 10 minutes, since I can walk in, the flow of people should not have reached the level of seriously exceeding the standard, and the danger should not be called dangerous, but there are indeed a lot of people at the scene."

"Is there nothing suspicious?" Xing Conglian asked again.

Hearing this, Lin Chen stood up from the shelf, looked out of the store through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

From his position, he could see a lot of people around the handrail of the corridor on the third floor, and there seemed to be a steady stream of people walking towards the handrail.

Because there were more and more people, almost forming a dense human wall, his sight was almost completely blocked by the human wall, so that he could only vaguely see the green crown on the top of the coconut tree in the lobby on the first floor.

Looking at the things hanging under the canopy, he said, "There is a problem."

"What's the matter?" Xing Conglian's voice obviously sank.

"You ask Dynasty to answer the phone first."

After he finished speaking, he heard the person on the other end of the phone pause, and then Wang Chao answered the phone: "Achen, are you okay?" Wang Chao's voice became even more nervous, "You must tell me if there is anything, I will Help you!"

"It's okay, I just want to ask you, what type of toothbrush do you want, and what are the requirements for the hardness of the brush head?"

"Ahhh! What time is this and you still care about this!" Chao Chao yelled.

He squatted down again and said to the boy, "If I not only got into trouble again today, but also didn't buy a toothbrush, I would feel worthless."

"S size, medium hard!" The other end replied quickly.

After Wang Chao finished speaking, he groaned again, obviously being educated by Xing Conglian again.

Lin Chen moved his fingers through the row of toothbrushes, then picked up the toothbrush designated by Wang Chao, stopped on it, picked up one of them, and asked one more question: "Do you have any requirements for the color?"

"Indigo Indigo!"

Sure enough, I guessed right.

He looked at the indigo bluetooth brush in his hand, turned around and walked towards the cashier: "Okay, don't give the phone back to your boss, I have something to ask you, what did you say to the police chief yesterday?"

"Boss, did you hear, Ah Chen asked me something, let go!" Chao Chao shouted on the phone, and then he ran a few steps, as if to avoid Xing Conglian, then panted, and replied loudly, "You said Director Zheng, Director Zheng is a very nice person, he said that he will immediately notify the mall for rectification, what's wrong?"

Lin Chen frowned.

Pass the toothbrush to the cashier.

The cashier scanned the price tag with a beep, and then said, "Hello, sir, 98.9 yuan, thank you."

What a luxurious child.

Lin Chen took out a [-]-yuan slip from his pocket to pay, and watched the cashier give the change. He said to the person on the phone: "I'm afraid, the effect of the rectification is not very good."

"Why didn't the effect work? Didn't Director Zheng call? Didn't the advertisement take off?" Wang Chao's question came again like a cannonball.

Lin Chen took the steel coin handed back by the cashier, and put it into the bag together with the toothbrush.

He raised his head slightly and looked at the canopy of the giant star coconut tree again. Several steel wires faintly passed through the canopy, tightly entangled with the things under the canopy.

It was a huge poster spanning three floors. Lin Chen narrowed his eyes and could even recall the face of the singer on the poster. He had many guesses in his mind and said to the person on the other end of the phone: "I I think, maybe for some reason, Director Zheng's order was not carried out immediately."

There was another ownership struggle on the other end of the phone. After a while, Xing Conglian's voice came again: "The poster has not been taken down?"

"No."

During the conversation, there was a dense drumbeat from the hall downstairs. The host did not know what to say or who came to the scene. The violent bass sound made people's internal organs vibrate.

"I will check with Lao Zheng. If possible, you should try to come out first." Xing Conglian said.

Lin Chen didn't answer him quickly.

The sliding glass door opened automatically, and he walked out of the store. The sound of people coming towards him made him feel that the floor was shaking, and the air was full of the smell of something boiling, excited and lively, anxious and irritable, it seemed that Ansheng International The opening ceremony should have achieved the desired effect.

"Hey, why is it so noisy?"

It wasn't until he walked out of the Mochi specialty store that Lin Chen realized that there was some deviation in his estimation of the flow of people.

In fact, he recalled that in order to choose a toothbrush just now, he stayed in the store for more than 15 minutes. Within 15 minutes, because the opening ceremony was approaching, the number of people in the mall increased geometrically.

"Xing Conglian..."

Lin Chen walked a certain distance along the hollow corridor and chose a location with a better view.

From where he was standing, the entire four-story hollow corridor around the hall was already crowded with people around the handrails, only some places on the fourth floor were still slightly vacant, although he couldn't get close to the handrails, so he couldn't see the hall clearly conditions, but in terms of the constant flow of people up the escalator, the situation in the lobby only got worse.

"I'm here, you say."

"I may not be able to go out for the time being." He looked at a place with a good view in the corridor on the fourth floor, and then said, "I don't know the situation in the lobby yet, I need to go upstairs to have a look."

If it was an ordinary person, they would probably say, "Don't go, it's too dangerous." Lin Chen even heard Wang Chao shouting on the phone, but Xing Conglian is Xing Conglian after all. He pondered for a while, and then said: "Don't hang up the phone, stay safe."

Lin Chen smiled inaudibly.

Then he continued to observe the situation at the scene. The escalator was seriously overloaded, and the situation of the sightseeing elevator might be even worse. In this case, safe passage is the best choice.

He looked up at the road sign and walked forward: "Just in case, please ask Dynasty to help me call out the floor plan of the mall first."

"I'm already doing Ah Chen!" Chao Chao's brisk voice came.

Although he could no longer hear Wang Dynasty's usual crackling keyboard sounds because the surroundings were too noisy, but thinking about it, Xing Conglian had already thought of this in advance when he was looking at the road signs to find the way, and even switched the phone call to public. put.

"Wait a minute, I have to bring up the camera, Ah Chen, how much power do you have on your phone, if you really can't do it, go and buy a power bank!"

"Don't be too nervous, nothing happened..." Lin Chen said calmly, he turned left along the passage and walked into the safe passage, "And luckily, I fully charged my phone before going out. "

There are relatively few people in the safe passage, so the surroundings are instantly quiet.

The sound of Wang Chao's quick typing on the keyboard came, and Lin Chen felt a strange sense of peace in his heart: "Ah Chen, it's time to joke now!"

"Don't worry, I'll be careful."

Xing Conglian's voice cut in again: "Consultant Lin, I just talked with Lao Zheng on the phone. He said that he had indeed notified the mall, and it should be that the mall didn't rectify it in time."

"How's the hall?"

"Judging from the cameras in several channels, the flow of people has indeed seriously exceeded the standard. The wide-angle view of the hall is not clear, and the advertisement covers the stage. What the hell is that Li Jingtian? I see that there are many fans in uniform at the scene. What else are you holding?"

"That's an aid, boss!" Wang Chao interrupted him there.

"I don't know much about this either. Li Jingtian should be a famous singer, right? There are all fans here?"

"Is he going to hold a concert in Hongjing? Why are there so many people?" Xing Conglian asked.

"I don't know that either."

Lin Chen quickly walked out of the safe passage, and walked to the place he had hoped for earlier.

The feeling of viscera and internal organs resonating came again, and as he got closer to the top of the hall, this feeling became more and more serious. Lin Chen touched his chest, clenched his phone, and squeezed through five or six people. Finally touched the edge of the armrest.

Looking down from the fourth floor, there are dense crowds of human heads as far as the eye can see. A large area in front of the stage is surrounded by baffles. The seat is full of girl fans in uniform costumes.

Those girls had fair faces, and they were wearing uniform red dresses, like fresh rose petals, spreading out around the stage layer by layer. They were shouting the names of their idols, because there were too many overlapping voices, and the To the fourth floor has become blurred.

But they were probably shouting: "Sedum! Sedum!"

But maybe it was because the area of ​​the seating group was so large that the crowd outside the baffle could not see the performance on the stage very clearly, so people kept crowding forward, trying to break through the security guard's crowd.

"How's the situation around the stage?" Xing Conglian asked.

"Very bad." Lin Chen said coldly.

At this moment, the song ended, the DJ tuning on the stage stopped, and the host came on stage again.

"Everyone is HIGH or not HIGH!" the host asked.

"HIGH!" The fans in the audience replied frantically.

"Happy or not!" The host handed the microphone towards the audience.

"Happy!" The fans replied in unison.

"Who are you here for today?"

"Sedum! Sedum! Li Jingtian! Ahhhh!"

The shouts of the girls resounded in unison, and the transparent ceiling of the shopping mall began to tremble.

"Is this crazy? How many people are there?"

Apparently, the enthusiastic calls of the fans had reached Xing Conglian's ears through the radio waves, and it seemed that just the crazy voice had already frightened Xing Conglian.

"It's hard to estimate. Does Zhengsuo have any explanation?" Lin Chen frowned, and he increased his volume, unable to speak in a normal tone.

"Old Zheng just said that their people have already channeled the flow of people outside to prevent people around them from crowding into the mall." Xing Conglian just said that and then stopped, "Old Zheng hung up on me after he said this, and he is probably in a state of distress. .”

Unknowingly, Xing Conglian's voice became much louder because of following his volume.

"If the police direct the flow of people on the outside and stop people who want to enter the mall, it will easily cause congestion on the outside, but the people in the mall will also be unable to get out, right?" he asked.

"It should be like this, let me find out more about the situation!"

Lin Chen could feel that there were more and more people around him, and he looked at the hollow corridors around the hall, and found that all the vacant seats had been filled by people's heads.

The host was still on stage to set off the atmosphere: "I know who you are all for! Read his name aloud again for me, please!"

"Sedum!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Just when the girls were shouting, Lin Chen had been completely pushed onto the railing, and the people behind him were still pushing forward, and his upper body had unknowingly protruded out of the railing, which made him hold on tight. The railing will not lean forward any more.

The atmosphere at the scene was so enthusiastic that even a thin layer of sweat broke out on his palms.

"Okay, I heard it, I know who you are here for, it's Li Jingtian, right!"

"right!!!"

The voice of the host overwhelmed the shouts of the crowd again, and he shouted, "But today, before that person comes out, you still have to give us a little time for the mall to finish the opening ceremony, okay! Answer loudly I!"

"it is good!!!"

The host's ability to mobilize emotions is really good. After several rounds of questions and answers between him and the girls in the audience, the atmosphere of the scene has reached a new level.

After the girl shouted, the host pressed his hand and made a quiet gesture, and then he said, "I promise, the time we spend will be very short!" After he teased, he suddenly stood up straight and said respectfully, " Next, let us invite Mr. Zheng Wei, the general manager of Ansheng International Shopping Mall, to give a speech. Please be safe, everyone. I have seen the speech of BOSS just now, and it is very, very short!"

After speaking, he made a gesture of invitation to the bottom of the stage. Following his gesture, Lin Chen saw that in front of the girl fans in red dresses, there was a row of elites in suits and leather shoes. Such as the leaders attending the meeting and relevant people on the board of directors of the shopping mall.

Then, it seemed like a premonition came true or it was inevitable by chance.

Among the group of elites, he saw a figure in a well-fitting suit that was very, very familiar to him.
