Chapter 236 Stanley’s Micro-expression Mind Reading, the King of Thieves collapsed!

Chen Shixian took the revolver, flexibly clicked his index finger, opened the magazine with one hand, and the brass bullet fell into his palm.

Five bullets glowed golden in Chen Shixian's palm.

When the sixth bullet was about to fall, Chen Shixian pushed it back into the magazine with a finger.

Next, close the magazine.

He pointed his fingertips at the wheel and flicked it lightly, causing the wheel to turn and make a clicking sound.

Chen Shixian held up a pistol and said to Zhang Shihao with a smile, "Truth or dare begins."

"Hao, have you heard of Bear Roulette?"

"Into the chamber of a revolver, place a bullet, close it, and turn it as you wish."

"Participants of the game take turns to point the gun at their heads and pull the trigger. Those who are shot will automatically quit. The one who persists to the end is the winner."

"It's all about who has better luck and who has a harder life."

Chen Shixian's fingertips gently stroked the shiny black revolver and continued, "However, this game is different. The only thing you're betting on is your life."

"Next, I will ask questions and you will answer them. You must answer them honestly."

"If I feel that you are not answering honestly, I will shoot you."

"I will randomly turn the cylinder of the revolver, and no one knows when the bullet will explode in your head."

"Is this game exciting?"

I have to say that Chen Shixian's voice and tone are very contagious, and when he tells horror stories, it is easy for people to get into the story.

Speak slowly and unhurriedly.

Having just experienced the fight between Baozhu and Li Dabing, Zhang Shihao's sense of control over the overall situation began to blur.

Under the tense atmosphere created by Chen Shixian, his face turned pale and he was a little panicked for a moment.

Damn it, this idiot is even crazier than him. He is so unsportsmanlike and uses such a dirty trick.

Looking at the black pistol in front of him, Zhang Shihao felt a chill in his heart. What kind of person is this? So perverted!

While he was worried about Chen Shixian's mother in his heart, he pretended to be calm and stood still.

From the outside, it doesn't look surprising at all.

“Da da!”

Chen Shixian fiddled with the turntable, making a crisp tapping sound, and asked casually, "You weren't called Zhang Shihao before, were you?"

"What my name is is none of your business!"

Zhang Shihao refused to cooperate at all and retorted defiantly.

“Crack!”

The black muzzle of the gun was pointed directly at Zhang Shihao's forehead. Chen Shixian's index finger gently pressed on the trigger, with a smile on his face: "Brother Hao, think about it before answering."

There was a feeling of pressure on my forehead.

Zhang Shihao's pupils suddenly shrank, staring at Chen Shixian and whispered, "You are crazy, kill me, when the time comes, Young Master He will definitely die."

"Do you have the guts to kill me?!"

Zhang Shihao bet that Chen Shixian was just bluffing and didn't dare to shoot.

“Crack!”

Chen Shixian pressed the trigger directly, and a crisp empty sound made the entire space stagnant.

It's as if the pause button was pressed.

Zhang Shihao felt the crisp sound coming from his skull and his face turned pale.

His expression changed from confident to fearful.

Crazy guy!

A complete lunatic!

Crazy!

This psychopath really dares to shoot!

People are very afraid of unknown things.

It’s like some variety shows where they put items in sealed boxes and let the guests touch them.

Although we know that the program team will not go too far and put in items that are too dangerous.

But the moment you put your hand into the box, the strange touch can make you imagine a lot and feel fear.

At this moment, even Zhang Shihao, who had committed numerous serious crimes and had a strong psychological quality, was afraid.

It was unknown when the only remaining bullet would enter its trajectory under Chen Shixian's manipulation, penetrate his skull and send him to death.

The empty sound just now was just luck.

No one can predict whether you will always be lucky.

This elusive feeling is extremely scary.

Not only Zhang Shihao was shocked, He Yuji was also sweating and his heart was in his throat.

Fortunately, he has been in the business world for a long time and has great composure.

Otherwise, he might have been unable to hold back and stepped forward to stop it.

If Zhang Shihao really failed, it would be all over, but fortunately he reacted in time.

Judging from Chen Shixian's performance just now, he wouldn't be so stupid. This might be a trap.

"This is the first time someone has made such an outrageous request, asking me to shoot him to death."

"Unfortunately, you were unlucky and it didn't go as you wished."

Chen Shixian put away his revolver and turned the wheel again, making two crisp "click" sounds. He followed the muzzle mark from before and aligned it perfectly, pressing against Zhang Shihao's head.

Then, he continued to smile and asked: "Let me ask again, what is your real name?"

"Zhuozhuo Ziqiang."

Zhang Shihao felt so aggrieved, his face looked as if he had eaten shit, and he answered with gritted teeth.

I almost couldn't hold it in and wanted to go crazy and fight with Chen Shixian!

But when he looked at the burly Baozhu, the tough-looking Li Dabing and the other bodyguards standing beside him.

The huge difference in fighting power instantly dispelled this idea.

"Tsk tsk, changing your name and surname, even ignoring your ancestors, how unfilial."

Chen Shixian teased him a bit and continued to ask, "You used to be a waiter at the herbal tea shop on Temple Street?"

“Crack!”

Without noticing, he continued to turn the wheel twice.

"yes!"

Zhang Shihao answered these irrelevant questions honestly.

"What's your father's name?"

"Zhuo Lei."

"I heard that 100 million was robbed from the Kai Tak Airport armored car robbery. Is that true?"

"I'm the president of the bank. I said that 200 million was robbed. Actually, it was only 60 million. It's just to settle the accounts. Those who understand will understand."

…

Question after question, each one is obvious and is asked despite knowing the answer.

He Yuji was a little confused.

These meaningless questions are completely meaningless.

Two hours will pass quickly.

If I continue asking questions like Chen Shixian, wouldn’t it be a waste of time?

"Mr. He was previously imprisoned by you on the 14th floor of an unfinished building near Shek Kip Mei in Kowloon Tong, right?"

“Crack!”

Chen Shixian pushed with his thumb and the wheel started to turn.

Among a host of 'security' questions, he suddenly raised a question about the kidnapping case.

Danger! ! ! !

The sudden turn of events and the question made Zhang Shihao stunned for several seconds. His eyes unconsciously looked to the upper right, and he immediately retorted: "What Mr. He, what unfinished building, it's none of my business!"

"You're lying, it's none of your business!"

"Because you are a kidnapper. You kidnapped Mr. He and used it to threaten Mr. He and demand a ransom!"

“Da da!”

"Think about this question first."

Chen Shixian's tone became serious, and he pressed on step by step, turning the wheel again to force Zhang Shihao to confess his crime.

“Nonsense!”

"I'm just short of money, so I asked Mr. He to borrow some money to spend. You want to trick me into confessing my crime."

"I won't be fooled!"

Zhang Shihao reached out and unbuttoned the two buttons on his shirt, his eyelids trembling slightly unconsciously, and he spoke loudly and confidently.

It's simply wishful thinking to expect him to confess his crime with just this little trick.

“Click, click, click, click!”

Chen Shixian slowly turned the wheel, and every turn touched Zhang Shihao's nerves.

Zhang Shihao was extremely nervous, his eyes narrowed into a line, staring closely at Chen Shixian's index finger.

Watch him with his finger on the trigger, ready to pull it at any time!

“Tick!”

A drop of cold sweat fell from Zhang Shihao's forehead, dripped onto his motionless eyelids, and rolled down from his eyelashes.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of He Yuji's expression, which was very calm and composed.

Got it!

"Ha ha!"

Suddenly, Zhang Shihao turned his gaze to Chen Shixian, a big grin appeared on his lips, his body kept shaking, and he laughed crazily.

He said smugly, "I guess there are no bullets in your gun!"

"Even if there is, if I'm not afraid of death and refuse to answer, you can't do anything to me!"

"I don't want to play anymore!"

"At worst, we'll both die together. If anything happens to me, Young Master He won't be able to escape!"

Zhang Shihao looked fierce, stared at Chen Shixian and whispered: "From now on, I will not be led by you by the nose!"

"I am the one in control of this game!"

Chen Shixian's hand holding the revolver shrank, and he turned the gun around in his hand. He pressed his fingertips, opened the magazine, and showed it openly. It was indeed empty.

He pretended to be panicked and said, "Oh no, I've been discovered. What should I do?"

"The game can't go on."

Chen Shixian buttoned the magazine and smiled slightly.

The game just now was not very clever.

This alone is not enough to control Zhang Shihao.

With Zhang Shihao's intelligence and character, he will sooner or later notice the clues and then counterattack.

Sure enough, Zhang Shihao was only frightened by the fear of death for a short while, and he quickly realized that holding Mr. He's life in his hand was the biggest bargaining chip.

As long as he is not afraid of death, is determined to break the broken jar and give it his all, Chen Shixian will not be able to control him.

However, Chen Shixian was not in a hurry. The tricks he just played were just appetizers. The main event would come next.

Once, when Chen Shixian was in Stanley, he took a class taught by Professor Li Shangzheng, a PhD student in psychology and hypnosis from MIT.

In addition to knowledge about hypnosis, it also includes psychology content, although it is not studied in depth.

But the master can only lead you to the door, but the practice depends on yourself.

After that, Chen Shixian read a lot of psychology books, constantly observed and learned in life, and mastered certain psychological knowledge.

Just now, he was actually using micro-expression psychology to see through Zhang Shihao's psychology by observing his words and expressions.

American psychologist, McRabin, stated in a paper that 7% of the influence of a message comes from text, 38% from sound, and the remaining 55% from silent body language.

People can lie, act, and disguise themselves, but micro-expressions or micro-movements on their faces can reveal information.

People's instinctive subtle reactions can betray themselves unconsciously.

Mind-reading detective Yao Xuechen is an expert in this area. He can often read the other person's hidden facts and see through the other person's true side through subtle body language.

Although, Chen Shixian has not verified what level his level is and whether he has the same accomplishments as Yao Xuechen.

However, it is enough to deal with a thief king in troubled times.

So, at the beginning, he used some psychological methods and first threw out the 'anchor of honesty'.

A ship at sea needs an anchor to stabilize its hull. In psychology, an anchor is also needed to unravel the lies and find the real facts.

At the beginning, Chen Shixian asked a few obvious questions, and then used a gun to create a crisis, asking Zhang Shihao to cooperate and answer these questions honestly.

And every time Zhang Shihao answered, he turned the cylinder of the gun twice.

This action and sound is equivalent to throwing out an anchor to stabilize the psychological construction.

Just like training a dog, every time you feed it, lift its feet. Over time, when the dog sees food, it will reach out and shake hands with you.

This is a conditioned reflex.

It's the body's instinctive reaction.

Therefore, as long as Chen Shixian turned the cylinder of the revolver and asked questions, Zhang Shihao would subconsciously associate it with answering honestly.

Even if he has a strong psychological quality, he will still hesitate and have a strange expression.

When people lie, their blood pressure rises, causing sensitive areas such as the face and neck to become itchy and hot.

Therefore, many people will make small movements, such as loosening their collar, scratching their neck, touching their nose, and wiping their forehead.

And just now, Zhang Shihao was no exception.

When he lied, his eyes avoided, he looked unconsciously to the upper right, swallowed, and unbuttoned his clothes.

These micro-expressions are the important clues for Chen Shixian to see through Zhang Shihao.

To put it more professionally, this is called micro-expression observation.

If you tell college students this, they will definitely say that this is absolute metaphysics, mind reading, and it is so magical.

At this moment, Zhang Shihao was still feeling proud that he had seen through Chen Shixian's tricks and had taken the lead again.

In fact, he didn't know that Chen Shixian had mastered his micro-expression code and obtained the key to open the door to honesty.

Next, it’s the real truth or dare.”

Chen Shixian calmly pulled the map of Hong Kong Island from the table.

On this map of Hong Kong Island, Chen Shixian drew a big circle with Kowloon Tong as the center with a marker.

Among them, from the location of Maxim's Cake Shop to the location of the unfinished building, all were marked.

Draw a range.

Previously, the purpose of deducing Mr. He’s location in the video was to narrow the scope for this moment.

At the same time, throwing out the 'anchor of doubt' caused Zhang Shihao's psychological defenses to collapse step by step.

The moment Zhang Shihao saw the map, his pupils shrank slightly, his heart beat faster, and sweat broke out from the tip of his nose.

This subtle scene was all under Chen Shixian's attention, and he took in all the subtle changes in Zhang Shihao's expression.

"It doesn't matter if you find out. We can't play Truth or Dare anymore. So let's play a new game called Guess, Guess, Guess."

Chen Shixian smiled evilly, smoothed the map with his palm, slowly touched the eighteen districts, and finally stopped in the Kowloon City District.

"I guess that after Mr. Ho finished filming the videotape at the unfinished building in Shek Kip Mei, he did not go far and is still in the Kowloon City area, right?"

“Da da!”

He gently turned the cylinder of the revolver twice, staring at Zhang Shihao's expression, observing carefully.

Zhang Shihao licked his dry lips, swallowed his saliva awkwardly, then pursed his lips tightly without uttering a word.

"It seems that I guessed right. Mr. He is still in Kowloon City."

Chen Shixian's words made Zhang Shihao's eyelashes tremble slightly, but he did not respond.

"Let me guess again, Kowloon City District includes Kowloon City, Ho Man Tin, To Kwa Wan, Hung Hom, Kai Tak New District, Kowloon Tong..."

"Where is Mr. He now?"

“Oh, still in Kowloon Tong!”

Chen Shixian tapped the map, picked up a marker, and drew a big circle in the Kowloon Tong area.

He Yuji, the housekeeper, including Baozhu, Li Dabing and others were all shocked and looked at Chen Shixian as if they had seen a ghost.

Just now, they thought that the interrogation had failed.

Why did the style of painting change suddenly?

Everyone was wondering, I didn’t blink or lose focus just now, how did I end up on the highway without noticing? !

Is this reasonable?

"Oh my god, Brother Xian, how many surprises do you have that we don't know about?"

Baozhu stared at Chen Shixian with his eyes wide open, stunned, with great shock in his heart.

If he wasn't afraid of disrupting Chen Shixian's rhythm, he would have wanted to shake Chen Shixian's shoulders violently and ask him loudly.

Zhang Shihao's expression froze, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and his face was full of confusion.

Just now, I clearly didn't say anything.

How did Chen Shixian know that the person was in Kowloon Tong?

These are just guesses. They must be random guesses.

It's just a blind cat catching a dead mouse.
