Criminal Psychology

Chapter 280

"Because I don't know your name, I can only use you instead.

I am only officially replying to your letter on behalf of the provincial governments of Jiangxia, Zhejiang, and Cheng'an, which you requested to respond to. "

The female anchor spoke at a gentle speed and not very loud, but it blew like the wind in the old and dark underground space.

People walking slowly in the subway station seemed to be inspired by something, and they all raised their heads at that moment.

In the bright studio, the hostess also raised her head. With a solemn appearance, she calmed down and said solemnly: "We agree to some of your requirements."

Some people in the station couldn't believe their ears, and those who reacted faster had already started to look at each other in blank dismay.

In fact, people who are protected by the government every day really find it hard to believe in their hearts that the government, an organization that guarantees them to live and work in peace and contentment, will one day make compromises and withdraw protection from sociopaths, exposing them to the other party. under the sinister intentions.

Naturally, some people began to curse.

"Fuck you!"

"Too useless!"

However, just when the discussion was about to get heated, the female anchor's voice sounded just right.

"But please don't get me wrong, part of it is that because of your ability to kill innocent lives at will, we agree to play with you the voting game you arranged to decide some things by popular opinion, but please forgive us for not agreeing to your game The way it was built, therefore, I have a new proposal."

After the female anchor emphatically punctuated the word "I", the news picture changed accordingly.

It is a mountain and river brighter than the studio, with green mountains and turbid rivers, you seem to feel the long wind blowing through the mountains.

When the wind blows, the camera goes down and freezes on a whole majestic and majestic dark gray building complex.

Surrounded by green mountains and turbid water in front, it is the No. [-] Prison of Minjiang River.

Of course, many viewers can't say the name of the prison at once, but they can still recognize the place from the unique construction method of the complex.

Depressed exclamations erupted from the dark subway station, like the sound of the turbid Minjiang River beating on the stone bank.

Fang Aizi also raised her head. The little girl had already chosen a seat to sit cross-legged. At this moment, she had already taken out a roll of lemon-flavored hard candy from her pocket and put two in her mouth.

A film-like rhythm emerges in an old hanging color TV, with the picture fading out and then fading in again.

The majestic scene becomes tiny, and the tinyness comes from the light yellow light source in the dark space.

It was a dark and narrow room with four walls made of square cement bricks. The walls were flat and shiny, revealing the unique coldness of prison confinement rooms.

There was a small chandelier in the room, under which sat four men.

One man was big and built, one man was swarthy, one man had tattoos all over his head, and another man looked like a lean black cat.

The four men were dressed in prison uniforms and sat quietly under the chandelier. They were facing the camera lens with indifferent faces.

The female anchor's voice-over sounded again, and she was still reading the letter: "These four prisoners were randomly selected by me in the Minjiang No. Yes: liars, robbers, thieves, and, murderers. I have no intention of explaining in detail why these four are in prison, but if the game goes well, all their files will be published online for anyone to look at. Here, my proposal is as follows: In order to avoid vicious incidents that cause greater casualties, I suggest that the votes of the three provinces be concentrated on these four people. Four people died. The voting period is 24 hours. If after 24 hours, the voting result is that four people should die, I will immediately execute four people to death instead of poisoning in any city; if the result is the opposite, you can follow your The way you want, continue your poisoning behavior."

After the hostess read this, the director cut the screen back to the studio. She paused, and glanced coldly at the audience, giving everyone a short time to think.

But she is extremely appropriate, as if she has practiced thousands of times, before people are about to speak again, the voice of her reciting letters suppresses the unspoken swear words.

"I think the reason why the minority replaces the majority plan is more reasonable is as follows: first, as mentioned earlier, it can reduce unnecessary casualties. Second, your plan can easily make our government plan to sacrifice a certain city and guide votes to that city. City, and once you agree with my plan, I and the government I represent will not interfere with citizens’ choices. Second, quality is more important than quantity, and extreme situations can expose problems more and are more conducive to raising awareness to the deeper content."

The hostess spoke calmly, and recited the reply letter with the normal tone of reciting the instructions: "Of course, in my opinion, the more fair approach should be to raise the stakes. I wonder if you can consider raising the stakes, and change it to - if four The criminal was voted to be executed, and you will provide us with a complete treatment plan for brain-kunning and related poisons." When she said this, she once again pointed to the camera meaningfully, but her tone was as calm as the person who wrote the letter, she Nian said: "These proposals are only my humble opinion, and all matters should be decided by you. If you agree with some of my proposals, please launch the new voting system on your website at 12:00 GMT. After 1 minute, the online and offline voting procedures will be launched simultaneously. Voting will be carried out in the form of real-name system, one person, one vote, and the voting results will be broadcast live to ensure the fairness of the results.

Please believe in our sincerity, look forward to thinking carefully, and look forward to reply

Sincerely, Li

Lin Chen

January 2016, 9. "

Without giving all the audience any time to comprehend the mood, after the female anchor read the letter, she calmly reversed it and displayed it in front of hundreds of millions of viewers.

It was indeed a handwritten letter. On the top of the letter paper was the words "Hongjing Police Station, Jiangxia Province" in red lettering. The text was all handwritten with a pen, which happened to be the length of a high school student's composition.

The font is beautiful, just like the person, and the director just happened to put the last live broadcast footage on the signed "Lin Chen" and his personal seal.

If the letter is like blazing fireworks, the reply is like a cool breeze in the mountains.

The whole letter is organized, well-founded, and without any provocative meaning. Even the text format is quite consistent with the letter's choice, so it is more like a simple user guide.

However, only a small number of people who knew Lin Chen's whereabouts knew that this letter was definitely not an instant reply.Long before Lin Chen stepped into the Hongjing Detention Center, this personal letter had been urgently sent from Hongjing, and had arrived at Yongchuan TV Station before the Meicun City clothing market incident occurred.

In other words, as early as a few hours ago, Lin Chen responded to a letter that he would never see a few hours later.

Therefore, when the National Yongchuan TV station ended the broadcast of BREAKING NEWS, the first reaction of most viewers was to start the countdown.

But the civil servants in the Hongjing City Bureau were different. Xing Conglian stood in the glass room, and everyone outside looked at him in disbelief, as if they were going to burn a hole in his old face.

This made Xing Conglian want to stay in the glass room, but Shen Heming patted him on the shoulder and said, "Let's go out together."

As soon as the glass door was pushed open, various voices of inquiries squeezed in through the crack of the door.

"Old Xing... Lin Chen is..." the public opinion expert probed.

"Still in the detention center."

"Then... the reply was written by someone else?"

"He wrote it himself."

Xing Conglian said calmly, but before he could finish his sentence, the whole hall erupted into an unbelievable exclamation again.

"Consultant Lin... already knew?

"This is too powerful."

"But... four prisoners... that's too bold!"

"Minister Shen?"

The police officers whispered to each other and talked a lot.

This should have been a moment that should have made Xing Conglian proud, but when he looked at the police officers who seemed to be relieved, he frowned involuntarily.

This is the change brought about by Lin Chen's letter. The situation where everyone has to face a dilemma is temporarily relieved, and everyone's burden is relieved because someone has taken the responsibility on their behalf.

However, he knew very well that this was just the beginning, the short tranquility before the storm.When everyone wakes up, they will understand what a problem this is.

When he thought of this, the always ruthless strategist suddenly said, "How does he know that the other party will definitely agree?"

Xing Conglian's gaze penetrated the wall of people and landed on the opponent's face. Smart people always wake up earlier,

The other party paused, and added, "He also revealed our alternative plan. Although it is beneficial for the other party to adopt his plan, it still limits us to being passive in essence, which is very wrong."

Xing Cong even looked into those cold and confident eyes, but didn't say anything.

……

If the discussion in the police station still takes into account the credit of Xing Conglianyanmian and Lin Chen's accurate prediction, then no one will have so many scruples on the crowded subway platform.

Terrorists have always taken hostages to threaten the government, but now it seems that the government has taken hostages to threaten terrorists. This kind of drama with a bizarre reversal has unexpectedly swept away the dull atmosphere, like an old ventilation system Functions resumed, people picked up their packs, moved and talked again.

"Is that Lin Chen from the police?"

"It seems so."

"Are you sick?"

"I do not know……"

"What is the level of the police now? Is that reply a joke?"

"Eh?"

"What the bad guy wants is to let all the cities in our three provinces fight each other, and focus on the four criminals. Isn't that just avoiding the most serious and taking the lightest, can the bad guy agree?"

"Yes."

The people who were discussing passed by the short-haired girl who was sitting cross-legged, without even looking at her.

This time the girl didn't refute anything, she just chewed the hard candy in her mouth.

The same discussion is taking place in the subway cars that have pulled far from the platform.

The ponytailed girl in Fengjing school uniform gritted her teeth, as if she hadn't recovered from the humiliation she had just suffered, she had to say something to ease the resentment in her heart.

"Hehe, government think tanks can only come up with such bad ideas. They really think that the murderer can agree to another plan? I really never thought they would be so stupid." She said coldly, "Besides, this is in the field of morality War, or even a battle of people’s hearts, if it is really done like this, the law will disappear, people who don’t deserve to die will be executed, and anyone can be sacrificed, it makes me sick.”

The girl who had been obediently beside her also added a word: "But I think...it's pretty good. There are only four criminals... There were murderers in the first place. To put it in a bad way, if you die, you die."

The ponytail girl raised half of her eyebrows, and said easily: "If you think about it in reverse, even you think that the four criminals will die if they die, let alone the others. Such a simple thing will not be thought of by the bad guys? Then how could he?" Might agree!"

"Yeah, I don't think that's going to work either."

"Anyway, I'm really stupid. Why don't I go with that plan to induce voting? You're a pig teammate who wasted opportunities!"

However, she didn't realize that within the time of one letter, the subway train had regained its former atmosphere.

People talk, chat, read novels, and whisper to each other while pointing at the screen of their mobile phones, and no longer have to worry about difficult choices that force them to face their hearts.

……

The TV was still on, but Shen Lian was watching Lin Chen.

From Lin Chenning's peaceful eyes, she saw his hand holding the water glass and the hand writing the letter.

Because she was a madman, only she could appreciate the madness in that plain letter, a madness that sent shivers down her spine.

"You even cheated your own teammates, Lin Chen, I really underestimated you, those fools must be relieved by you now?"

Lin Chen took a sip of his tea and shook his head helplessly.

"So, do you really want to play like this?" She knocked on the table hard and asked Lin Chen for the first time.

"Yes."

"Are you really going to kill those four prisoners?"

"Of course, the prisons already have lethal injections."

"Why, why did you come up with something so simple and interesting, it's so interesting."

Shen Lian sighed, and the chain on her wrist made tinkling sounds due to her movements.

But what she didn't expect was that Lin Chen answered her question seriously.

"Because I have thought about too many ways to solve the problem." Lin Chen said, "Whether it is controlling public opinion or inducing votes, there are many ways to simply let people unite as one, and the power of the state authority must be stronger than I imagined. "

"Then why don't you use those methods, just get this matter out of the way."

"Because no matter how I think about it, I feel that this is not right." Lin Chen stroked the cup lightly with his hand, "Choices should not come from induction, but from the heart. Since the fundamental difference between me and him lies in our understanding of human nature." If my opinion is very different, then I should not lose my courage."

"Find courage from small probability events, you are so naive and cute."

"You mentioned probability, that's right." Lin Chen spoke slowly but Chen Ken: "After all, psychology is a science. In a sense, the game he designed is a psychological test. Since it is a test Design, I am more professional than him in this regard."

Although Lin Chen said "some", Shen Lian knew very well that he meant many, many.

She sneered mockingly, and listened patiently to Lin Chen's continuation.

"The problem with his test design is that the results are unsolvable. It is unsolvable for us, so why not for him? Therefore, I changed the structure of the test to make it more able to detect the psychological characteristics of the group that the test is intended to detect. Except for the significant amount of interference from government forces. I thought I was doing pretty well, didn't I?"

Seeing Lin Chen's confident and honest appearance, Shen Lian laughed: "It's really good."

Lin Chen received the compliment, and his face, which had been lowered all the time, suddenly lifted up. His eyes were clear, as if he could look directly into people's hearts.

"Then do you think he will agree to my change?"

At that moment, Shen Lian seemed to have the illusion of being pierced by that gaze. She finally realized that Lin Chen had been looking at her, but it wasn't her.

She is a chess piece, a chessboard, a springboard, and a bond... She is the medium through which Lin Chen and that person fight through the air.

He was looking at him through her, as long as she was here, Lin Chen would never leave this small room.

Thinking that she was lucky enough to witness such a great battle, Shen Lian trembled with excitement.

"Why not, thank you for coming up with such an ugly game, that's what he wants!"
