criminal profiling

After investigation and investigation, we did not get any more clues about the suspects, but found several potential victims—according to the murderer's criteria, these people are likely to be on the murderer's target list.

One of them is a late-stage patient with lazy cancer. To what extent is he lazy?

Let me tell you a story first.

There is such a person, he is very, very lazy.One day, the lazy man's mother wanted to go out to visit relatives. She was afraid that she would leave her son alone at home and starve to death, so she thought of a way.She made a big, big cake and hung it around his son's neck, so that when he was hungry, he could eat the cake as long as he lowered his head.

The mother left very relieved, and when she returned home a few days later, she found her son lying on the ground dying of hunger.The pancake was still hanging on the neck very well, only there was a gap in the front, and it looked like it had been bitten a few times.

The mother wiped her tears and asked her son: Son, why don't you move your neck?You can eat cakes by moving your neck.

The son replied weakly: I'm too lazy to move.

This late-stage patient with lazy cancer is as sick as this son.

After Shi Ke's investigation was clear, he immediately sent people to the homes of several potential victims, and he even went to protect this late-stage lazy cancer patient himself.

When Shi Ke arrived at the location, he searched around and found nothing unusual, so he called a few people to guard the door. He held a gun in one hand and knocked on the door with the other, shouting loudly:

"Is anyone there? My downstairs, your house is leaking, and it's dripping on my bed."

He shouted several times, but there was no response. Shi Ke made a look, and let the property next to him open the door with a key.The property owner thought there were gangsters living in the house, so he was trembling when he opened the door, and he inserted it several times with trembling hands before he inserted it in the right position.

When the lock was unlocked, Shi Ke kicked it with his foot and rushed in first, then kept holding the gun with both hands, and froze like a statue.

The underground light is dim, only the orange light emitted by the emergency lights, which should give people a warm light color, but now it looks a bit weird, accompanied by singing voices from nowhere, it is creepy.

Zhuang Sheng took his mobile phone to illuminate and walked in step by step.In the quiet environment, apart from the sound of my own footsteps, there is only the vague singing.There is an echo in the tunnel, so I can't hear it clearly, but it feels like a nursery rhyme.

The singing gradually became clearer, and Zhuang Sheng could hear it clearly. It was indeed a nursery rhyme, and it was a rather cheerful nursery rhyme.

"One monk carries water to drink, hey picks water to drink. Two monks carry water to drink. Three monks carry water to drink. Three monks have no water to drink. No water to drink. Drink, no, no water to drink, why do you think this is, why..."

With a childish voice and a cheerful tone, the song that was supposed to make people smile, now in Zhuang Sheng's ears, but his heart was seized by a huge fear, and his legs were so heavy that he couldn't move. open pace.

The aisle ahead seemed to have come to an end, the light bulb hanging at the door swayed slightly, and the light and darkness in the aisle swayed, as if the whole world was also swaying.

Zhuang Sheng pressed his hand on the door panel, and the door with a gap can be pushed open with a light push, and the world behind the door can be seen clearly——but the young man standing in front of the door lowered his head slightly, as if he was overwhelmed. Yes, in the quiet passage there is only the extremely suppressed low panting sound.

There are fine beads of sweat oozing from his forehead, but his hands are cold, as if the chill from the other side of the door is transmitted to his body through the door panel.

Zhuang Sheng collected himself, and finally gently pushed open the half-closed wooden door.

Shi Ke hung up the phone, and then looked at the bed in the middle of the room with a face full of incomprehensible expressions - after he broke into the room, searched and made two phone calls, the posture of the person on the bed did not change at all.If it weren't for the eyeballs to move, and the straw biting in the mouth to suck saliva from time to time, it would be no different from a corpse.

It really opened Shi Ke's eyes that someone could be so lazy.

All the things that are used in daily life are placed within easy reach: the mobile phone is connected to the charger and fixed directly in front of it with a bracket, the bedside table is full of various snacks, and the torn packages are thrown on the ground at random.The most amazing thing is that there is a small bucket of water on the ground, with a straw inserted in it, and the other end of the straw is contained in the man's mouth.

Because he asked several questions when he broke in before, the man just said "hmmmmhhh" weakly, Shi Ke didn't intend to waste any more saliva, and waved his hands to lead the team away.

He just turned around and walked out, before he could take a step, a half-dead voice sounded behind him.

"Excuse me, get me some water."

Shi Ke turned around in disbelief, his eyes turned twice between the person lying on the bed and the small bucket of water on the ground.The man seemed to have expended a lot of effort in saying a sentence, he didn't say it a second time, he just raised his chin slightly, signaling Shi Ke to pour some water into the small bucket.

There was only a little water left in the small bucket, and there was a large bucket of bottled water in the house, about half of which was left after the seal was torn off.

Shi Ke shook his head, not knowing what kind of expression to put on, he walked over in a daze and picked up the big bucket and filled the small bucket with water.Before leaving, the man gave him a look, replacing the verbal thanks with a grateful look, but Shi Ke would rather he didn't understand.

News came from several other points one after another, but nothing unusual happened.

"Could it be a wrong guess?" Shi Ke muttered and got into the car, just when he got in the car and stretched his hand to close the door, the phone rang.

"Second Brother Meng, we are about to close the team and go back to the game. Oh, Xiao Zhuang, I didn't come with you, I don't know."

Shi Ke held the phone between his shoulders, closed the car door and prepared to start the car.I don't know what was said on the other end of the phone. As soon as the car started, it slammed on the brakes and made a harsh sound. Shi Ke almost knocked his forehead on the steering wheel.

"What! Maybe Xiao Zhuang went to meet the murderer?"

On the other end of the phone, Meng Yan spoke with a little panting, and he walked quickly while talking quickly.

"The previous reasoning is not wrong, it's just that there is a missing link. After this link is made up, a more comprehensive profile can be given. The murderer didn't choose the type of victim through the mutual aid association, but asked them to participate after determining the type of victim. Mutual Aid Society's advice, which is why the first three deceased are not all on the list."

Shi Ke became more and more confused as he listened, and had to interrupt Meng Yan's quick explanation, "If the murderer didn't choose the target through the Mutual Aid Association, then where did he learn about the conditions of the dead, and he could inflict different attacks on the target according to different symptoms? method of killing?"

The other end of the phone quieted down, as if the other party had entered a relatively quiet environment, and his voice became much more stable.

"It's very simple, because the murderer is engaged in psychological counseling work, so he can come into contact with many people with psychological problems. Lustful, delicious, greedy, lazy, everyone has these bad habits more or less, but the symptoms generally do not It affects daily life. And some people are more serious and have evolved into a mental illness. They may also want to find a solution themselves, so they turn to a psychiatrist.”

Shi Ke already understood when he heard this, but he felt a little unbelievably absurd.

"Since you are looking for a doctor to treat the disease, it's fine if you can't cure it. Why do you want to kill the person?"

Meng Yan paused, and the deep noise seemed to stick to the heart and pop out with the sound of the heartbeat.

"Because he treats people as a lesion, and the lesion does not need to be treated, but should be removed."

Shi Ke's heart sank to the bottom with a "bang".

-

As the door was pushed open, the situation inside was clearly presented before Zhuang Sheng's eyes—even though the light was still insufficient, Zhuang Sheng still saw the three faces with pale complexion and hideous expression for the first time.As if experiencing something terrible, his eyes widened to the extreme, his mouth opened wide, as if he was still screaming before death, and his body assumed an unnatural convulsive posture.

It is not uncommon to see a more terrifying death than this, but at this moment Zhuang Sheng was standing in the dimly lit room, his limbs felt cold, and the warmth from his body was drawn away.

The stagnant cold air in the ground seems to be mixed with some terrible evil thoughts, washing over the human body over and over again, taking away all the goodness and warmth that are nostalgic.

I don't know how long it has passed, Zhuang Sheng dragged his legs that seemed to be unconscious, and walked towards that corner step by step.

It was a device like a revolving door, divided into three doors, separating the three corpses and covering them together in a large glass cover.Zhuang Sheng saw that on the side near the wall, there was an opening in the glass below, but at most it could only allow someone's arm to stretch out.The revolving door can be turned, and the person in the middle pushes his door forward, and the whole device can rotate—but it is only a rotation, and it cannot make people escape.

Zhuang Sheng approached slowly, and he could clearly see the corpse closest to him, and there were no obvious injuries on his body.Suddenly, the hand hanging beside him moved slightly, Zhuang Sheng's eyes twitched slightly, and he took two quick steps forward.

——The strides stopped halfway, and all Zhuang Sheng's movements were frozen.

Something slid out from under the arm, the triangular head slowly rose, and the cold vertical pupils stared outside, and suddenly launched an attack but hit the glass with a slight sound.

Zhuang Sheng took two steps back and stared blankly, the blood all over his body also congealed with faith.

—It was a colorful poisonous snake.

Laziness, abstain from laziness, and punish it by running.

A picture appeared in front of Zhuang Sheng's eyes: a person whose face could not be seen clearly was thrown into the snake pit, weeping and howling, while the group of snakes stirred up, raised their heads and spit out letters, entangled the people's limbs.

The fourth deadly sin, sloth.

The fourth case came as scheduled, and both the identity of the deceased and the murderer's modus operandi were as expected, but Zhuang Sheng was not at all happy.He guessed the murderer, guessed the dead, but guessed the wrong number of deaths.

In this case, the murderer killed three people at once.

When checking the list given by Tang Fangfang before, Zhuang Sheng always had a sense of disobedience.He dug out the transcripts of all the relevant personnel, read them carefully, and finally understood the source of the sense of disobedience.

The murderer is undoubtedly very smart, not only smart, but also very understanding of people's psychology.The few dead he chose, in addition to having different degrees of mental illness, also derived real crimes.

No. 1 deceased, derailment in marriage, leading to domestic cold violence, thus causing psychological trauma to their young children.The little child has been diagnosed with autism, and he has never spoken a word since he was almost three years old.

No.2 The deceased had been drinking for a long time and had domestic violence, which caused his wife to be hospitalized many times.

No.3 The deceased had a strong desire to control his wife, which led to serious psychological problems in his wife.

Mutual aid clubs are indeed a good place to talk to people with psychological problems.But it is still a public place after all. Some extremely dark thoughts and past in people's hearts will not be discussed in such a semi-public place. Some people even make up things that they have not done in order to conceal or show off. .

In this way, the information obtained from the mutual aid association may not be true, nor is it what the murderer wanted.

And there is a kind of person, no matter whether the patient is conscious or not, they will let them speak out the thoughts deep in their hearts that they have not even noticed.

That is, a psychiatrist.

A person who took notes mentioned that his psychiatrist suggested that he come to a mutual aid club.Seemingly an irrelevant record, Zhuang Sheng followed his intuition, and finally found the names of the three deceased persons on the psychiatrist's diagnosis and treatment list, unexpectedly but not unexpectedly.

And he traced it here because it was written in the doctor's record book that he was going to conduct the final stage of diagnosis and treatment for the patient.In the back line of small characters, written in red pen:

Sloth, clear.
