Criminal Investigation Notes

Sin is more serious than any other disease because it attacks the soul. ——Dreda

The door was opened, and Yang Yuqing raised her head to look at the person in front of her. It was a middle-aged man in his fifties, and he looked amiable.The wall behind him is full of awards, trophies, and records countless honors.

The man smiled and said, "Come in, let's supervise today."

In the psychological world of Huadu, there is no one who does not know him. He is Professor Zhang Junzhi Zhang, who is also the supervisor of many psychological counselors.

Psychological supervision is a professional guidance for psychotherapists and an important part of analyzing clinical experience and clarifying ideas.

Zhang Junzhi has been working in the psychological industry in Huadu for nearly 30 years, bringing out countless students and training countless psychotherapists.

Yang Yuqing and An Yuci were both his students.

Soothing music played in the supervision room, and the humidifier next to it sprayed out white mist, which contained a faint fragrance.

Yang Yuqing sat on the chair, and from the moment she saw Professor Zhang, her mood improved a lot.

Zhang Junzhi asked her, "Do you still have that dream recently?"

Yang Yuqing's eyes blinked: "I haven't dreamed of An Yuci for a while."

Zhang Junzhi sighed: "As a supervisor, I never thought that he would do such a thing. At the beginning, I introduced him to hope to help you. Later, I realized that there was something wrong with him, so I advised him, But it doesn't seem to be working."

Yang Yuqing said: "Professor Zhang...Although we all study psychology, sometimes we only understand better when we study deeply. In fact, we can't control a person's heart, nor can we change his future...We are The bystanders on the spiritual path of those people can see people's spiritual trajectory clearly and remind him of the danger ahead and left and right. But they can't help them out of danger."

Yang Yuqing believes that An Yuci is a person who is good at disguising.

As if they couldn't save every patient, it is understandable that Zhang Junzhi, as the supervisor, did not find any abnormalities in An Yuci.

Professor Zhang has so many students and is very busy every day. As a supervisor, he should also be under tremendous pressure.

It can be said that he has devoted his whole life to the cause of psychology, and he has not yet married a wife and had children.

Yang Yuqing was a little haggard, and she was a little overwhelmed by the recent incidents: "I am now a lot more indifferent to life and death. Especially the recent incident with Uncle Wang... He was also my father's friend at the beginning, and then he has always been concerned about the clinic. How helpful it is to manage. I didn't expect him to suddenly..."

Yang Yuqing also just received the news that Deputy Director Wang committed suicide. In the past, she would visit this uncle almost every year and holiday.

Not to mention anything else, setting up her psychological clinic as a designated psychological clinic every year solves more than half of the clinic's business and funding problems.

Zhang Junzhi said: "As a friend of Wang Shaogu for many years, I got the news very suddenly." When he said this, he asked her, "Is the operation of the clinic okay recently?"

Yang Yuqing nodded: "It's okay, and thank you for subletting such a cheap consultation room to me..."

Professor Zhang said: "It's right to take care of the younger generation. Come on, let's stop gossip and start today's supervision. Which patients have you encountered recently and how are they?"

Yang Yuqing told Professor Zhang about the patients she met recently, and Professor Zhang guided her on how to deal with them, helped her review the cases, sorted them out one by one, and gave her some suggestions.

In the second half of the journey, Yang Yuqing felt a little sleepy when she smelled the fragrance in the room.

In psychotherapy, this kind of situation will happen, but falling asleep suddenly during the supervision process is obviously extremely disrespectful to the supervisor.

She tried her best to keep her eyes wide open to keep herself awake, but she still felt that her consciousness was drifting away.

She answered some questions vaguely, feeling that her brain had stopped thinking, and Zhang Junzhi often had to repeat the questions before she could answer them.

In the back, basically Zhang Junzhi was talking, and she was humming non-stop.

The instinctive reaction of the brain is that what the teacher said makes sense and what the teacher said is correct.

An hour passed quickly.

When Yang Yuqing got up, Professor Zhang asked, "By the way, it seems that Consultant Su from the police station hasn't come for a while?"

Yang Yuqing was taken aback: "Yeah, he was busy a while ago, so he pushed back twice. I made an appointment for him to come over next Wednesday. It seems that there is a new case in the police station, so he has been busy."

One thing she didn't say was that the policeman who came to see her recently accidentally revealed to her that the case seemed to be related to Deputy Director Wang's suicide.She wanted to ensure that the news from the police station would not spread, so she did not speak out.

Zhang Junzhi's expression was not surprised: "There seem to be quite a lot of cases recently." He said here, "I just want to confirm the time of the next supervision with you. I only have time on Wednesday. Our next supervision , or about early next Wednesday. Turn around and see you in your clinic."

In the interrogation room of the General Administration, Lu Junchi sat in front of Xu Shuang, looking at Xu Shuang in front of him.

Qu Ming was in charge of recording. The dossier in front of them had been replaced with a few numbers: 372.

Now this case is named according to that institute, collectively referred to as the 372 case.

This is a long-distance interrogation. In order to get more information from Xu Shuang, they have been interrogating her for more than five hours.

At first, Xu Shuang didn't want to say too much.

Lu Junchi personally tortured her, from the initial information check, building a trust relationship, to the subsequent exertion of pressure, assuming a "good guy".

After a set of procedures, she finally began to confess to her crime.

The light in the interrogation room was a bit dim, Xu Shuang lowered his head and recalled for a moment: "I have been there many times, that place is on the west side of the city...I remember...the sign says 372 Research Institute, and it is called by the people inside 372 Heart Institute."

"Can you remember how you got there every time?"

"My father took me there by car... The memory of this passage has always been very vague. I can only remember some sporadic passages, like dots one by one." Xu Shuang seemed a little irritable when she said this She shook her head violently, she hated the feeling of being unable to remember clearly, her brain was like a tape, demagnetized.

"How old were you then?"

"About 12 years old, no, maybe younger...just in elementary school."

"How did you discover your anomaly in the first place?"

"I have liked watching war movies since I was a child. I remember when I was about six years old. Once I saw Transformers, where Optimus Prime was killed. As the male protagonist, it was pierced by a sharp blade and dismantled into parts. The engine oil was like blood. It flowed out, the blue eyes dimmed, and at that moment, something moved in my mind, and I suddenly realized, I like this, I am not normal."

"I like to watch things break, and what I like to watch most is the explosion scene. I feel beautiful and satisfied. I have watched many war movies many times, and then I began to have fantasies. My mother After reading an article in my diary, I panicked and sent me to a psychiatrist. I received psychological counseling for about a year, but I didn’t improve at all, and then I was sent to 372.”

Lu Junchi continued to ask: "What is it like there? Can you describe it?"

"I remember that it was a white building, and the people nearby called it Xiaobailou. Every time I went there, I went down and had to go through a long underground corridor. This section of the road required walking For several minutes, there were many iron doors in the corridor, and strange sounds would come from inside the iron doors."

"What is that sound?"

"It's like the roar of a wild animal being locked in a cage, the shaking of the iron door, and the harsh sound of nails rubbing against the iron door. It seems that there are some monsters locked in those doors, and they will rush out at any time ..."

"Are you sure, are the animals locked inside?"

Xu Shuang shook her head: "I think those voices seem to be made by humans, but I can't imagine the circumstances under which people would make such voices."

Then she lowered her head and said: "I feel that I was hypnotized by those people. Their hypnosis wanted me to forget those detailed experiences and the faces of those doctors, but those memories were too clear in my mind. It made me do it later. It’s been a nightmare for a long time, and the nightmare is about those doors and the people inside. I gradually remembered some things. Now that I think about it, maybe the ones locked inside are visitors like me.”

"What did they do to you while you were inside?"

"At that time, I was locked in a room, and a man in a white coat kept asking me various questions."

"Is that person a man or a woman?"

"I can't remember, I just remember wearing a mask."

"What was the question he asked you about?"

"Thoughts in my mind... thoughts about killing people and explosions." Xu Shuang paused for a moment, then raised his head in confusion, "He would encourage me to record the pictures and things that came to mind with words and pictures. to study it all."

"What did you draw?"

"It's some very cruel pictures... It seems that after painting and describing those things, I feel freed and normal. So at the beginning, my parents thought it would be effective to send me there. Later, they Started to encourage me to dissect small animals, from small white mice to small rabbits."

Xu Shuang knew that the evil thoughts in her heart were nourished and thrived.

"When did they contact you again?"

"About five years ago, a man called and said he wanted me to work with them, and if I did, they would give me something to fulfill my fantasies and give me money. If I didn't Cooperate with them and he will tell others about me..."

Xu Shuang stroked her hair: "I was too naive at that time. I thought I was not short of money. My parents already knew about my abnormality. I thought they couldn't threaten me."

She smiled wryly at this point, "But then my boyfriend and I got pregnant out of wedlock, and we were preparing for the wedding. One day, that man left in a hurry."

"He knows those things?" Lu Junchi asked speculatively.

Xu Shuang nodded: "The child was four months old at that time. I gave birth to him and became an unwed mother. My parents felt that I was ashamed of the family and refused to help me. The child had a serious congenital heart disease. sick, I took care of him alone, and could hardly sleep all night, I think this is God's punishment for me. After he passed away, those people found me again..."

The interrogation room was silent for a few seconds.

Xu Shuang raised her head with tired eyes: "This time, I agree..."

This is the process of her falling continuously and becoming a devil.

Constant threats and temptations prompted her to join in.

Obviously, 372 classified the people who visited it and sorted out the information. After the children grew up, the people behind the scenes appeared again. They have the list of the research institute and can easily pick them out.They know their weaknesses, know their secrets, and use money to lure them to obey orders.

Su Hui finished listening to the interrogation, and when it was time to sort out the materials, he picked up his cane and walked into the office beside him.

In the interrogation room next door, Yao Fei, who had finished the third round of interrogation, caught up with him and followed him in: "I'm so thirsty, don't you have a water dispenser in your temporary office?"

His nose moved slightly, and he looked at Su Hui's cup on the table: "What's the smell?"

"Joze, pour him a glass of water." After Su Hui finished speaking, he picked up the thermos in the observation room and took a sip.

In the thermos is the pear water that Lu Junchi boiled for him. The pears are pears from Xinjiang, mixed with a little Chuanbei powder, rock sugar, and a few grains of wolfberry.

The water has been boiled for a long time, with the unique aroma of pears and the bitterness of Chuanbei, it tastes slightly bitter and sweet.

Although it didn't stop the cough completely, it made him feel a lot better.

Qiao Ze sighed, went to get a disposable paper cup, and poured Yao Fei a cup of warm water.

"At least, let's have some coffee..." Yao Fei took it, looked at the boiled water in his hand with disgust, and looked at the thermos Su Hui drank from.Then he took a look at the confession, "Isn't it all similar to the information I got from me? Your investigation efficiency is really slow."

After Yao Fei finished speaking, he drank the water in the water glass in one gulp, and handed the empty paper cup to Qiao Ze: "One more glass."

Qiao Ze raised his head and took the empty glass. He looked at him with a little fear. He looked back at Su Hui. Su Hui nodded, so he got up and poured him another glass.

To be honest, Qiao Ze still doesn't quite know how to correct his attitude towards Yao Fei. The identity of this former colleague is either a person involved in the case or a police informant.

Bureau Tan and Mr. Su agreed, and gave him a temporary pass. During the investigation of the 372 case, he was given a temporary office, allowing him to wander around the yard and enter the office of the serious crime team.

Qiao Ze looked at him, still treating him as a dangerous person, always on guard.

Su Hui also looked down at the files.

Following the further interrogation of Xu Shuang, Dai Yuansheng, and Bi Shanyu, combined with the information Yao Fei brought to them, the police now have a certain understanding of 372.

It's a somewhat mysterious institution.

The whole institution is transformed from an old abandoned factory, located in the suburb of Huadu, where it is now a public green space.

The institution is very mysterious and leaves little information.

They searched the Internet, but they couldn't find the clear person in charge and registration information of this institution, not to mention the source of taxes and money, and they couldn't find the employee information and patient information inside.

Correspondingly, the police have no way of knowing the specific years of existence of this institution, the size of it, and how many people there are in total.

Although they have obtained some confessions now, they have no way to sort out the information effectively.

After interrogating Xu Shuang, Lu Junchi came out of the interrogation room, took all the newly searched materials from the serious crime team, and handed them to Su Hui.

Qiao Ze pointed and said, "I have also conducted related internet searches here, and the only thing I found was a job posting from more than ten years ago. That was an era when the Internet was not yet developed, and the information was posted on a forum in the same city. inner."

It was a message from a long time ago, and the message was written very simply:

"Recruiting a large number of college students to participate in psychological experiments during the summer vacation, which lasts for 45 days, includes food, accommodation and clothing, and is paid. If you are interested, you can add me and contact for an interview."

Many people below asked him what the content of the experiment was and what requirements he had, but the poster did not reply much.

The word 372 only appeared once in the reply.

Someone was interested and asked where to go for an interview, and the account typed: "Changyuan Road, No. 372."

"The current road has been re-divided, but after checking the map 20 years ago, it should be on Changyuan Road. It seems that 372 is named after the place name." Lu Junchi frowned, "What psychology experiment needs to recruit a large number of students ? And it seems to be sneaky, without mentioning the content of the experiment at all."

Yao Fei took a look and said, "Psychological experiments that require multiple people have a wider scope, such as using the basement of that building..." At this point, he looked at Su Hui.

Su Hui understood, rubbed his eyebrows and said, "I also suspect that those people want to do the Stanford Prison Experiment."

This point can be imagined from Xu Shuang's description of the environment, the underground of the small white building sounds very much like an irregular prison.

Judging from the information they have now, what these people did in the research institute and the experiments they conducted are undoubtedly illegal.

So is it possible that someone used it to recruit college students and conduct that experiment?

Qiao Ze asked, "Is it the mock prison experiment?"

Su nodded.

Among the many psychological experiments, the Stanford Prison Laboratory is very famous. The experiment simulates the real "prison" environment, and the students play the roles of prison guards and prisoners.

According to the reports and documents left at the time, during the experiment, the students were deeply involved in their identities, unable to extricate themselves, and suffered serious physical and mental injuries.

The experiment was conducted in 1971 and has been controversial in the psychology community ever since.

There is a great deal of interest in this experiment, and it has been covered in several books and even movies.

Later, many people expressed doubts about the results of the experiment.

It was believed that a short-term identity swap would not produce the results described in the report at the time, let alone disturb people's minds.

Later, psychologists successively pointed out that Professor Philip Zimbardo, who conducted the experiment, wrote the experiment report for the sake of sensationalizing the results, and he had the possibility of falsification.

There are even recordings to prove that the brutal behavior of the "prison guards" at that time was guided by the host professor, and the screaming prisoners were also a kind of performance.

This is like a reality show, so its final performance and conclusion are not so believable.

In order to prove this point, the best way to figure out the conclusion is probably to conduct the experiment again.

"But these are just my guesses..." Su Hui said cautiously.

Lu Junchi said: "There must be someone who knows what happened back then, and we can collect relevant evidence."

"Deputy Director Wang committed suicide suddenly. It is very likely that the other party has been alerted. This shows that our current investigation direction is correct. The other party was forced to have no choice but to start self-defense." Yao Fei sneered, "These people In Tibet, in retreat, as far as we are concerned, now is the best time to take advantage of the victory."

What he said was correct, but everyone else in the serious crime team was a little helpless.

Old Qu muttered: "It seems that there are many clues, and those people have also shared a lot of information, but there is nothing to pursue."

How could this case be so easy...
