Criminal Psychology

Chapter 234 Subjective

The number of police officers dining downstairs has not decreased.

When Lin Chen and Xing Conglian went downstairs, there was very little movement. They walked through the foggy and stuffy shop, opened the plastic curtain, and walked outside the shop.

The summer sun was shining brightly, and the winter night haze had just dissipated a little.

If you count the last unfinished story, Shen Lian has changed his confession four times before and after.

From the perspective of criminal investigation, Shen Lian was not considered an adult at that time, but she was not a child either. The factors affecting the authenticity of her confession were probably internal physiological factors and external motivational factors.For example, the repression of memory by traumatic events, the failure of memory retrieval, or the confusion of memory by external factors are all internal physiological factors, while external motivational factors are simply because of certain motivational reasons that prompted her to make false testimony.

Lin Chen sat down by the small flower bed outside the store, and did not answer the question immediately, but said to Wang Chao: "Is the dumpling we ordered still in the store, can I go and get it?"

"Ah! Brother Chen, do you want to eat outside? It's too hot, and there's still ashes." Wang Chao shivered, as if he had suddenly woke up from the cold atmosphere just now.

Lin Chen looked at the police cars whizzing by from time to time, and said, "You don't have to remind me again."

Xing Conglian kicked Wang Chao: "Hurry up and do it, who questioned your qualifications."

Wang Chao ran back to the store in a depressing manner.Xing Conglian also sat down, and the shade of the trees was not very dense, so most of their bodies were bathed in the scorching sun.

The Xing Cong company commander sighed: "What is this called?"

"Actually, when you ask this question, you can already feel what kind of thing it is." Lin Chen said.

"So, why did Shen Lian revise the testimony repeatedly, and pestered the old wanderer again and again?" Xing Conglian asked, leaning on the tree trunk with his head in his arms, as if he didn't know anything.

"Obviously, Shen Lian is very paranoid, but the reason why she did this is not because she is paranoid. Shen Lian's problem is obviously much more serious than that. She is good at lying, and she is used to deceiving others with lies in order to achieve the purpose of manipulating others to achieve her own wishes " Lin Chen tilted his head slightly, looking at Xing Conglian.

"It reminds me of Li Jingtian."

"The people we have to face are all the same kind of people from the beginning, aren't they?"

"Continue." Xing Conglian said, "Based on your analysis, what exactly happened that night and what goal Shen Lian wants to achieve."

"The goal she wants to achieve is of course to protect her personal interests." Lin Chen said, "Of course you will ask, why didn't she directly tell the police the truth of the matter, but chose a very roundabout way to correct her witness testimony little by little, That is of course because the truth is contrary to her personal interests, and she chose to conceal the truth for personal interests."

Xing Conglian asked: "Then why did little Shen Lian go to the police uncle?"

"Because it is not in her personal interest to conceal the truth and let the people she hates get away with it."

"It seems that the evil in human nature fights against each other, pushing people to a worse state." Xing Conglian said, taking out a cigarette.

"What you said is in line with the life experiences of most antisocial personalities." Lin Chen brought the topic back on track, "But no matter how many times Shen Lian has changed his testimony, we can use certain techniques to separate the truth from the lies. .” Lin Chen shook the file in his hand.

When Lin Chen finished speaking, Wang Chao came out of the store with a disposable lunch box, and the young man stood under the plastic curtain and grinned at them, making people feel that everything was warming up.

But soon, the dynasty fell into the imminent heavy work.

SVA is one such procedure for evaluating the veracity of statements based on the assumption that remembered statements derived from real experiences are different in content and quality from those based on creation or fantasy.Although it is often used to determine the authenticity of testimony, it needs to be completed with a face-to-face structured interview with Shen Lian, but now is not the time to pay attention to these standard procedures. Using the confession records made by the old side to Shen Lian, it can barely be achieved. The goal of separating truth from lies.

Wang Chao squatted down by the flower bed, turned on the computer, Lin Chen turned over the first page of the confession, and said to Wang Chao: "We divided the events described by Shen Lian into several parts, and respectively passed the standard basis for the corresponding content of these confessions. Content analysis, using scoring to calculate the truth and lies in it."

Chao Chao's eyes lit up: "It's so scientific, I like it!"

Lin Chen turned to the first page: "First of all, all of Shen Lian's testimonies are obviously disorganized narratives. She first narrated the core incident 'Chen Jianguo killed the old homeless man', and then went back to the beginning to describe what happened at that time .Victims of sexual assault tend to speak in disorganized and incoherent ways."

Dynasty paused at the time: "What the hell, Shen Lian was sexually assaulted?"

"Since you mentioned this, let's take a look at Shen Lian's description of the main triggering event in the case." Lin Chen said.

Dynasty nodded vigorously.

"In the second version of the testimony, Shen Lian described Chen Jianguo and Li Wanru's intercourse in this way. 'The two of them leaned against the wall together and didn't know what they were doing. Chen Jianguo took off his pants and Li Wanru was moaning'. And in the In the third edition, this testimony became "The girl told Chen Jianguo to go away, but Chen Jianguo covered her mouth tightly and laughed, and the girl's trousers were unbuttoned and she began to cry." Lin Chen calmly said, "The latter has more descriptions of the interaction between the victim and the victim than the former. It can be judged as relatively true, and 1 point."

"Why is it 1 point instead of [-] points!" Wang Chao was puzzled.

"Because this is not her eyewitness testimony, she said she saw Chen Jianguo do those things to the girl, but the perspective is subjective."

Wang Chao pushed the computer away: "The person Chen Jianguo molested was Shen Lian??? I wonder why Shen Lian didn't call the police!"

"Because there is no evidence." Lin Chen shook his head, "We will evaluate her next statement. The details about the old homeless man interrupting Chen Jianguo's intention to sexually assault the girl. Shen Lian said that she was very scared, but fortunately the old homeless man came The old tramp put down his burden of picking up garbage, and rushed towards Chen Jianguo like a god descending. The old man's face was dirty, and his body smelled of leftovers, but it made people feel very safe." Lin Chen paused, He continued, "In this testimony, there are many details including the sense of smell, and many 2 points including her subjective psychological description. The old man stopped Chen Jianguo's actions and saved her."

"So Chen Jianguo didn't succeed because the old tramp saved Shen Lian?" Wang Chao said, "Chen Lian was not really hurt, so she didn't tell anyone that Chen Jianguo was going to hurt her that night?"

Lin Chen lowered his eyes: "In fact, I really hope that she didn't tell anyone that Chen Jianguo wanted to moles her that day, and I also don't want her to find that no matter how many times she said it, no one believed it, so at the end She revised her testimony when she confronted the police."

While speaking, Lin Chen felt an extra weight on his shoulders, and Xing Conglian put his hands on his shoulders: "Don't think too much."

Lin Chen nodded and continued: "Now comes the most important part. How did the old homeless man die? I'll tell you the result directly. Shen Lian mentioned that many neighbors watched the dispute between the two. It’s true. Chen Jianguo deliberately found the old homeless man to seek revenge and kill him. It’s hard to judge. It’s hard to judge whether Chen Jianguo accidentally pushed the old homeless man down. But among all the results, one thing is true. She did see the old homeless man’s body that night. 'Corpse'."

"So we can't judge whether Chen Jianguo committed murder?" Xing Conglian asked.

"It should be said that I can't judge this from Shen Lian's testimony. I tend to think that she only knew the result of the old man's death, but did not witness the incident."

Xing Conglian touched his chin and said, "This is more reasonable. The old homeless man had an argument with Chen Jianguo, and the neighbors heard the news and came out to watch. When encountering such a thing, the adults will definitely drive the child back into the house. So Shen Lian didn't know who killed the old homeless man, so he could only deduce that the murderer was Chen Jianguo... ".

Lin Chen continued: "Therefore, the reason why Shen Lian was very excited when she found out the real time of death of the old man was also explained. She thought the old man was dead, but in fact the other party did not die on the spot, but lay down in the cold rain for several hours, and finally died.”

When Lin Chen finished speaking, Xing Conglian didn't say anything more, as if they had a good heart, they looked at each other, and let all the inferences stop here, no one was willing to ask the next question.

However, at that moment, they all forgot that the dynasty was here, and the vigorous young people were not as sensitive to these ugly and dark things as they were.

"Damn, dun, do the residents of Xiaolin Lane just want to die instead of saving them? This is too cruel, why!"

Lin Chen raised his hand and wanted to rub the top of the young man's hair, but in the end he didn't press it because Xing Conglian took his hand.

Surrounded by police officers coming and going, but when Xing Conglian wanted to do something, of course, he couldn't care about the eyes of his surroundings.

So, Xing Conglian took his hand like this, and answered Dynasty's question for him: "Because, all the residents of Xiaolin Lane are murderers."

Xing Conglian's voice was low and hoarse, full of compassion.

"Yeah, of course they're all murderers!" Wang Chao yelled, but he stopped abruptly on the last syllable.

Xing Conglian patted the young man's head with his other hand: "Just now you found so many files about Xiaolin Lane that you didn't read. There are many complaints about that old tramp. Old tramp, He likes to sing in the middle of the night and yell into the air. The simple house he lives in often emits a foul smell, and he often scares passing children. He even has a bad history of smashing the windows of residents with bricks when he is emotional. Just imagine, if we How would you feel with such a person living near your house that even the police can't deal with?"

Although the sunshine is still the same, with Xing Conglian's narration, Lin Chen only feels that the surroundings are gradually getting colder.The clammy vibe of a southern winter night resurfaced.

That day, Shen Lian was driven back to the house, no matter what the little girl said before, these adults would not believe it.

One is a neighbor with a good reputation and helpfulness, and the other is an old homeless man with mental problems. When these two people have a dispute, all neighbors know how to stand in line.Except for the parties involved, no one knows what happened at that time, but there is only one possibility that everyone can agree on the confession, and these people have become a community of destiny.Perhaps it was Chen Jianguo who overthrew the old homeless man, or Li Wanru overthrew him, or maybe even the elderly and nosy old lady next door who became the murderer. No one knew who really did it. When he was overwhelmed, the old man had already fallen in a pool of blood.

The water in the river smelled fishy and was as black as ink.

People will start to blame each other and pass the buck to each other, but no matter how they debate, no one can tell who is really doing it.

These people began to be silent, and at this time, those who have the most right to speak will express their views.

He would say: Since everyone hates this old man so much, and now it is unclear who did it, then let's break up.I will call the police tomorrow morning, and everyone insists that the old man fell by himself, we are all sleeping, and it is good that we don't know what happened.

This is just a proposal. With a proposal, there must be a choice, and the next choice is too tortured human nature.

But countless psychological studies have proved that people will only choose to follow the crowd under huge social pressure.

Someone agrees to the choice of letting everyone leave the relationship, and therefore, no one makes the choice to continue living for this annoying and mentally troubled old tramp.

Wang Chao grabbed Xing Conglian's trouser legs, his face was very ugly, and he even seemed to cry: "But I won't let such a grandfather die gradually in the cold rain just because I hate him!"

"Even if you accidentally pushed him down, you must bear legal responsibility and high medical expenses." Lin Chen interrupted the conversation between Wang Dynasty and Xing Conglian.

"Yes!" Dynasty said firmly.

The shadow of the tree falls on the young man's face, so those bright spots are like tears.

"So." Lin Chen wiped what might not be tears under the boy's eyes, and said to him, "You are a very good boy, there are still many people like you, don't be too sad."
