Criminal Investigation: Forbidden Rose

"Shao Lin, I don't treat you as a patient, and I will open up when I say something. If you just want to overcome your fear of water, I would suggest that you try exposure desensitization for a period of time first."

Shaolin nodded silently.Although he is not a licensed psychological counselor, he has learned all these theories—exposure desensitization is a type of cognitive behavioral therapy, which artificially creates a traumatic scene for the patient and treats it with positive experiences and beliefs. Override previous negative emotions.

“Start with imaginative exposure—in a relaxing environment, imagine the scene that makes you anxious, such as the ocean, and then relax through meditation, breathing, or eye movement. When the imaginative exposure is no longer anxious, you can Step by step, it becomes situational exposure. For example, the bathtub filled with water at home, then to the swimming pool, and then to the aquarium..."

"I also checked some information before." Shao Lin said softly, "Exposure desensitization is the most widely used and most effective treatment for 'phobia'."

"If you don't mind, we can try it now," He Lianyun smiled, "Do you want to try?"

The young man hesitated for a few seconds, and finally nodded stiffly.

He Lianyun smiled lightly: "You are so nervous."

Shao Lin looked away awkwardly, he was very unaccustomed to exposing his relatively vulnerable side to others, and now he felt extremely awkward.Hearing what He Lianyun said again, his face turned red.

"Relax, take a deep breath, relax." He Lianyun stood up and handed over a Persian-style embroidered pillow, "Lie down however you feel comfortable, come, lean on it."

"Close your eyes, lean in for a while, be quiet, and then listen to my introductory words." He Lianyun stood up, lit a stick of incense on the bronze unicorn incense burner in the living room, "belly breathing, will you?"

"En." Shao Lin closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said, teacher, your fragrance is really nice.

"Ah, this! It's Lao Tan brought back from Karnataka by a friend." The middle-aged professor suddenly smiled, and looked at the straight smoke, "I also like this taste very much. , I usually like to order one when I lead students to meditate."

"Okay - cross your fingers together, put them on your abdomen, inhale, let your diaphragm expand deeply... expand until it can no longer expand... then slowly exhale, relax..."

"...let your shoulders sink naturally...relax your shoulders...arms...to your fingertips...feel the subtle beating of blood on your fingers..."

He Lianyun's voice was deep and deep, with a hoarseness that seemed to have accumulated over time.Every syllable and pause of the introductory words are gentle and just right. Shao Lin followed his voice, his thoughts wandered throughout his body, and his consciousness seemed to become breathing itself...

After doing breathing exercises for about 7 minutes, He Lianyun said slowly: "Now, imagine that you are lying on a golden beach, and the transparent seawater washes up on the beach, forming snow-white foam..."

Shao Lin complied with his introductory words, and there was a blue sea and clear sky in his mind, but suddenly, his subconscious rushed in. In the next second, lightning split the night sky, and the transparent sea water became pitch black. Countless lifeguards wearing orange red The men and women in the vests twisted their faces and screamed in his ears——

Shao Lin tensed up and opened his eyes suddenly.

He Lianyun noticed the abnormality, and quickly sat down beside the person, keeping a close but polite distance: "Shao Lin?"

"Relax—look, you are safe." He Lianyun repeated softly but surely, "You are safe now."

Shao Lin's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he almost didn't dare to look into He Lianyun's eyes: "I'm sorry."

"No need to feel sorry." He Lianyun encouraged, "You are making a very brave attempt."

"Everything you feel is reasonable and normal. Would you like to share with me what you saw just now?"

"I—" Shao Lin opened his mouth, but it got stuck.

He Lianyun didn't force it either: "If you feel that you are not ready, you don't have to say it."

"sorry."

"You are not wrong, no need to apologize."

There was a moment of silence in the air, and Shao Lin said blankly: "No matter how many positive experiences you use to cover what happened...you can't change those irreversible facts. Teacher He, I think this is self-hypnosis, and Not to solve the problem itself."

"What problem do you want to solve?"

"...afraid of water?"

He Lianyun smiled: "Shao Lin, have you noticed the contradiction? In your subjective consciousness, the problem you want to solve is fear of water, maybe because it affects your daily life. But in your subconscious, The problem you want to solve is to go back and repair the facts that have happened but cannot be changed. Perhaps, what you are afraid of is not the water itself.”

Shao Lin opened his mouth slightly, speechless.

"It's okay, take your time, this kind of thing can't be rushed." He Lianyun replied gently, "I'm very interested in your thoughts, you can come to me whenever you are ready."

When Shao Lin left that day, he felt that he had almost run away.

……

After leaving He Lianyun's house, Shao Lin went to the Public Security Bureau again.Luo Wei's case has just been closed. After all, he is a non-staff personnel, and there is still a lot of paper work to be done.

On the contrary, Xia Yi has been very happy these two days, bouncing around, and he can play a wild wolf disco on the spot without BGM.

He changed his job from the armed police, and he was a criminal policeman not long ago.Not to mention his lack of experience, this is the first time he has taken full charge of a case.To be honest, if the case hadn't been snatched from the forensic doctor, it wouldn't be his turn to take the lead at all.Now that the case has been solved, Xia is so excited that he jumps up and down the building like a erha without a leash.

Jiang Mo handed Shao Lin a few forms, smiled wryly and shook his head: "Hey, it's plague again."

Shao Lin grinned silently, saying that it would be better to be lively.

Luo Wei passed away, Wang Xiufen and He Xinwang were arrested, Luo's parents rushed over from Orange County, and accompanied by Chen Wu to the Western District Bureau.Luo Wei's parents had several miscarriages in the early years, and Luo Wei was an only child.The family finally had a child in their later years. Now they are over 60 years old, and they have some physical problems. They can't move to the fields, and they will wait for their children to support them in the future.

Two shriveled and stooped old men sat in the conversation room, looking numb and dazed.Originally, the disappearance of their son was like a bolt from the blue, but a week later, the police corrected the news—the one who killed their son was the hardworking wife who knew how to make money.The two elders thought that by burning incense and worshiping Buddha, they would achieve consummation in their later years, but now they can't accept the reality no matter what.

As the person in charge who took the lead in solving the case, Xia Yi told Luo's parents the cause and effect of the incident.Police officer Xiao Xia was always talkative, and he could tell a lot of details about solving the case.Unexpectedly, Luo's father frowned when he heard this, and tremblingly said, officer, please shut up.

Xia Yi was puzzled: "Huh?"

Father Luo ignored him and stared at the air unfocused, as if he had turned into a crumpled stone, while Mother Luo wiped away tears silently with a handkerchief.After a while, Father Luo repeated it again: "Don't talk about it, we don't want to hear it."

Xia Yi held his words in his chest, feeling aggrieved, but in front of the victim's family, he could only blink innocently and say "Oh".

When sending the two elders away, Mr. Luo left such a sentence in Mandarin mixed with dialect: "Whether the case is solved or not is the business of your police. gone." [1]

His wife also echoed: "Yes, if this case is fooled, we will still have a daughter-in-law and even a grandson! As long as she keeps it from us, she can still think about it. Now I think it's still not broken good..."

Xia Yi didn't have an attack on the surface, but his heart was on a rampage, and he almost exploded on the spot.In order to investigate this case, how much pressure did he resist, how many nights he tossed, and how many layers of relationships he had to get to the files of Haifeng City, and finally he unraveled the cocoons to restore the truth, but in exchange for the victim's family members said lightly, "It's better not to break it." "!"

Is it wrong to solve the case?

Xia Yi stood at the door, watched the pair of old people leave, and felt self-doubt for a while—was he still doing something wrong if he insisted on solving this case?Could it be that helping Wang Xiufen to hide is the result of protecting more people?

The huskies shut themselves in place.

Shao Lin came out after completing the formalities, and saw an autistic police officer squatting under an old locust tree next to the office building, playing with cigarettes in his hands, but did not light them.

When handing in the form just now, Shao Lin heard Comrade Yan Jingjing yelling at Luo Wei's parents in the office. Kind of cute.

By coincidence, Shao Lin walked over.

Xia Yi looked up at him, as if he just realized something: "Ah, are you leaving?"

The new leaves of the locust tree grow lushly, and the strings of flower buds have formed, the green onions are plump, and the pistils have not yet emerged.The sunlight shines on Shao Lin's face through the gaps between the leaves, turning into patches of clear and clean light spots, making him look extraordinarily delicate.

He suddenly stretched out his hand, put it gently on Xia Yi's shoulder, and said gently but firmly, "Don't be sad, you are a good policeman."

Xia Yi seemed to have been pressed some kind of switch, and the base of his neck turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.He looked away evasively, not daring to meet Shao Lin's gaze.

It's not that he hasn't been praised, but he feels that Shao Lin sees through his little thoughts—it's nothing more than a child's temper—and has worked hard to complete some work, and he is eager for affirmation and praise in his heart, because I didn't get enough approval, so I lost my temper.

If it were their detachment leader, he would have been told to do what he should do.

The more Xia Yi thought about it, the more she felt ashamed, her neck was burned up to her ears.

"Don't be angry with yourself, your fingernails are already pinched." Shao Lin said with a hint of a smile in his voice, and he took out a stress ball from his canvas bag, "It's really not possible, You pinch this."

It was a bulging rubber duck with the company logo and address of Yuean Mental Health printed on it.This is a gift from the unit. After Shao Lin took it, he kept it in his bag and gave it to Xia Yi.

Xia Yi took the stress ball and squeezed it in his palm.I saw the sphere deformed, the duck's neck "protruded" strangely, and it screamed: "Gah!!!"

Husky squeezed it a few times, and immediately tasted the taste, and the smile returned to his face again.

"Gah!"

"Quack quack!"

"quack!"

Shao Lin: "..." It was really fun.

Xia Yi turned her head and grinned her white teeth: "Thank you, Teacher Shao!"

Suddenly, he shrugged his nose.Xia Yi squatted under the tree, just in time to smell the corner of Shao Lin's clothes, and said without thinking: "Huh? Why did you change the incense?"

Shao Lin looked at him quite unexpectedly, and said no, he went to a colleague's house in the morning.

"You cultural people all play incense," Xia Yile said, "Then am I also a cultural person? I play mosquito coils in summer."

Shao Lin said dumbly, "You have a very sensitive nose."

The tranquilizing incense he often uses in his bedroom is cedar white sandalwood, but this morning he burned an old mountain sandalwood at He Lianyun's house, and it has been almost half a day, and this dog's nose can still smell the difference.

Xia Yi "hehe" smirked: "The eyes are not good, but the nose is always good."

Shao Lin didn't quite understand: "Is your eyes hard?"

"Hey, I was forced by my mother to go on a blind date that day. After dinner, the little girl insisted on dragging me to the shopping mall. She took three YSL gold tubes and asked me which color looks good. If it doesn't work, I will take them all. I am doing activities anyway. I see Seeing that it’s all one color, why do you have to buy three, shit, it’s really hard.”

Shao Lin: "...you say it's all good-looking, so it's over."

Xia Yi looked serious: "How can someone who is going to be a wife in the future lie to others! None of them look good, they look like monsters when painted!"

Shao Lin was speechless: "...Then maybe it would be better for her to ask you to try the perfume."

"Try it, I said this one is like dish soap and the other one is like mosquito repellent water," Xia Yi rubbed his head innocently, "Well, it didn't work anyway."

Shao Lin: "..." This can be a talent, right?

"What about you, Teacher Shao? Have you already had a girlfriend?" He cast a teasing glance at Shao Lin, "Now the little girl likes your delicate features and weak Liu Fufeng style?"

"Weak Liu Fufeng?" Shao Lin glanced at him angrily and amusedly, then turned around and planned to leave, "Take it as you are praising me."

"Wait!" Xia Yi called him from behind, "When are we going to have dinner together? Thank you on behalf of the branch office!"

"no thanks."

"No, no, no," Xia Yi chased after him, "This meal must be invited, how can you let your work go for nothing, and Bureau Zheng has already spoken, just swipe his card, you can choose anywhere. You can grab his old man once Wool isn't easy-"

Only then did Shao Lin stop: "Ju Zheng?"

"I was giving a report that day, and Lao Zheng happened to be there, so I asked me how I hooked up with you. The real person doesn't show his face, Mr. Shao, I didn't expect you and Lao Zheng to have such a good relationship. Hey, you don't know, this situation How many people here can't hug this thigh..."

Shao Lin explained: "...No, I'm not familiar with him."

"Ah? Then he's thinking about you, and keeps asking me if you're in good shape. Hahahaha, Old Zheng really likes you. I've never seen him care so much about a subordinate!"

Shao Lin was speechless for a moment.

Xia Yi persisted: "When will we have a meal together?"

Shao Lin turned his head: "Let's talk."

……

When he got home, Shao Lin accidentally found a bag of Rox takeaway at his door.It is still Rox's colorful cartoon packaging, with a cute little bear painted on it.

Shao Lin frowned suspiciously—since he ordered takeaway to enter the game last time, he never ordered any takeaway again.

Who ordered this for him?

Xia Yi's signature baba suddenly sounded in his ear: "...Are you annoying me and don't want to eat with me? It's okay to bother me, no problem, but I still have to invite you for this meal, or I can order takeaway Go home, it's called a 'no-contact treat'..."

He looked at the receipt pinned to the bag—the Rox Large Iced Americano, No Sugar—was his favorite coffee.Shao Lin couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips slightly, thinking that he only mentioned it to this silly dog ​​once, but he still remembered it.

But soon, Shao Lin's smile disappeared without a trace, because he found that even his address was not written on the receipt, and it was a dine-in receipt, not a takeaway!In other words, someone bought coffee at Rox and delivered it to his door in person.

That can't be Xia Yi, Xia Yi is still in the game.

Who else could that be?

Shao Lin frowned, opened the bag, and his heart skipped a beat.

Inside the coffee bag lay a white card, fine paper with gold-edged patterns, similar to an invitation letter for a high-end social event.But on the card, a sentence in English was written in blood red ink: "Welcome back to the game."

Welcome back.

I can't say why, but the font Shao Lin looks strangely familiar.

The author has something to say:

Teacher He's meditation method failed, and he had to rely on Husky's method of demolishing the house (bushi
