Five o'clock in the afternoon.
"Professor Li!" Bai Song was so surprised when he saw the person invited by Team Lou that he almost jumped up!
…
In Wang Shichun's case, Bai Song was considered to be experienced. He quickly discovered his problem and was ready to find professionals.
I guess in all detective novels, the protagonist kills all the experts in seconds, but this is really unrealistic. Bai Song's level of psychology is already very high, but facing a master like Y, he is still afraid of messing up, so he told Team Lou and asked them to report to the higher-ups and invite experts.
Bai Song knew about the Criminal Investigation Bureau. There were not many experts in this field, and some of them worked in colleges and universities. So he handed the task over to the Lou Detachment. Unexpectedly, the Lou Detachment acted very quickly and found the leaders of the Municipal Bureau and pointed out the circumstances of the case.
The city leaders were also very direct. They contacted the Police College, found Professor Li, and invited him over. This only took three or four hours. It just so happened that Professor Li was free today and was interested in this case, so he came over directly.
When Bai Song returned to his alma mater for the first time shortly after graduation, he went to Professor Li’s open class with Xinqiao. It has been six years now, and he really didn’t expect that six years later he would have the opportunity to work on a case with Professor Li.
"Hello, are you Bai Song?" Professor Li's hair was gray, but her eyes were still as gentle as a teenager. She extended her hand to Bai Song, who was somewhat flattered. He immediately shook her hand with both hands, and said with some surprise in his voice, "Do you know me?"
"You are a celebrity in the school," Professor Li said, then looked around and saw Liu Shuyuan. Liu Shuyuan was also excited, but Professor Li ignored him directly. After looking around, he found that he only knew Bai Song.
Bai Song returned to his alma mater to give lectures. Bai Song himself did not think this was a big deal, but he was actually the youngest person in the history of the Police Academy to return to the school to give lectures! Many people in the school know him and have seen his photos.
"After I graduated, I went back to school to listen to your lectures!" Bai Song is still in the process of chasing stars.
"Is it an open course for undergraduates?" Professor Li had no recollection of this. "Which part?"
"Perpetrators of serious violent crimes often have some special experiences when they were young," Bai Song said. "This class also helped me solve a murder case."
"That's good." Professor Li raised his head slightly, smiled, and nodded gently. "So, I gradually realized that criminal psychology can't save people who have already formed a criminal character. So in recent years, I have focused my main energy on parenting, hoping that parents will have the right parenting perspective and make their children's worldviews healthier. This matter that you asked me to do this time is actually not my main research direction, but you can take a look. It shouldn't make things worse."
"You are also a person with aspirations!" Bai Song expressed his understanding.
Professor Li is actually quite successful. He has a high status in the school and is also well-known in society. Logically, she only needed to keep going down the path of criminal psychology, writing books, and as her abilities and qualifications improved, she would become a true expert. However, she did not do that. When she reached retirement age, she started to develop new projects and do what she wanted to do, which received mixed reviews online.
"People always have to do something," Professor Li looked at Bai Song, "what they think is right."
"Yeah!" Bai Song nodded immediately.
After chatting for a few minutes, they began to discuss the case.
Bai Song was relatively familiar with this case and he explained everything very quickly. Professor Li listened very carefully.
"Do you lack a systematic understanding of Wang Shichun? His experiences from childhood to adulthood, the people he has come into contact with, the women he has been close to, the losses he has suffered, his financial situation, etc.?" Professor Li asked, "Do you have this information?"
Bai Song and Liu Shuyuan looked at each other. These were not easy to check, but they were also possible to check.
"No," Bai Song said, "I haven't thought this through."
"This needs to be investigated," Professor Li said without blaming him. "From the current situation, Wang Shichun's financial situation in recent years is still relatively good, but a lot of his money is probably kickbacks and intermediary fees. It can't be said to be illegal income, but it's not hard labor money either. He is also good at cheating and deceiving people. It's difficult to give him psychological hints. The fact that he can do this shows that Y knows Wang Shichun better than you do. This also means that Y has analyzed the situation around Wang Shichun through some means, which is also one of their specialties."
After Professor Li finished speaking, he wanted to test Bai Song and asked, "What is your personal financial situation?"
"Me?" Bai Song was stunned for a moment: "Uh... I was always poor before, but recently it's been good, I don't have to worry about food anymore."
"Do you personally think that the change in your economic situation has created any obstacles in your handling of cases?" Professor Li continued to ask.
"Ah?" Bai Song was a little puzzled: "I don't feel anything."
"Yes," Professor Li thought for a moment, "Well, let me give you an example. I recently found that many companies have started to promote short videos, and they are very popular. A while ago, one of my students showed me one of the short videos. It was about a poor man who took a taxi and asked to swipe his card, but two or three cards had no money. In the end, he finally collected enough money for the taxi fare. Do you know what the problem is?"
"This... is financially difficult?" Bai Song didn't understand what he meant.
"The person who filmed the video probably thought so too, but they don't know that, first, it is almost impossible for poor people to take a taxi, and second, rich people may really forget how much money they have, but poor people remember it very clearly. They can even remember the amount of money in their cards down to the single digit. And how do poor people think about rich people? Poor people think that if they have money, they can just go shopping and swipe their cards to buy anything they want. Is that really the case? Most of the time, it's not. In fact, the most important thing in this case is money." Professor Li said, "Money paves the way, which is very useful in most cases. If you are a police officer who spends money like water, you will never understand the motive of a suspect who kills for three dollars."
Professor Li continued, "I need to know more about Wang Shichun. I need you to give me some answers as soon as possible."
"No problem!" Bai Song agreed to this matter, but he was also shocked. He hadn't had this feeling for a long time, but today he realized that his mentality had really changed.
When he first started working, although he was not destitute, his life was still very difficult. He was very happy when he received a salary of several thousand yuan, and he would be excited for a long time when he bought a new mobile phone.
Later, since he became financially independent after selling Bitcoin, he still had two to three million in cash for financial management. He no longer cared about his salary and was no longer so sensitive about whether new electronic products cost 6,000 or 8,000. This actually really changed his mindset.
In this case, he thought the main motive for the crime was brainwashing, hypnosis and psychological suggestion, but he forgot the most crucial thing, money.
Moreover, Wang Shichun finally came to his senses and escaped because he learned from his friends that the black market price of this organ was wrong.
The key here is money.
It's terrifying that Bai Song didn't think about such a simple and basic concept. He now began to understand why many people's mentality changes drastically after winning the lottery, and a few years later their lives are worse than before they won the lottery. Simply put, it is because of the wrong mentality change.
After discovering this problem, Bai Song kept it in mind. He planned to review all the things he had experienced recently to see if there were any obvious loopholes caused by his arrogance.
…
The problems that Professor Li talked about can still be solved. There are a lot of things, such as hotel booking information, information about co-residents, information about ex-wife, etc., which are all available in the system. It only took half an hour to retrieve all the information.
After looking through the materials carefully, Professor Li knew that this was far from enough, but this was the only way for the time being. So, she changed into plain clothes, asked for a quilt for Wang Shichun, and interrogated Wang Shichun for the second time.
Bai Song and Liu Shuyuan were also there, both in plain clothes. Bai Song would be the main person in charge of the interrogation this time, and Professor Li would intervene when necessary.
In the middle of winter, the room would be very cold if the door was slightly opened. When the temperature in the room was only about ten degrees Celsius, the supervisor turned off the heating pipe and locked the door.
It was very cold in the room. Bai Song and the other two were wearing thick clothes, but Wang Shichun didn't have many clothes, so he covered himself tightly with the quilt. The quilt made him feel much more at ease.
Wang Shichun had only been in the cell for a few hours. When he saw Bai Song again, he didn't recognize him. It was obvious that there was something wrong with his subconscious mind and he was somewhat afraid of the police.
This might be why he was questioned and caught by the police in Shanghai. Police usually pay special attention to people with strange eyes, so it is normal for someone like Wang Shichun to be caught easily.
Covering himself with the quilt, Wang Shichun felt much better. But when he looked at Bai Song and the other two, he felt a little confused.
"Why did you call me here?" Wang Shichun asked.
"Let me show you something," Professor Li took out a foreign currency and placed it in front of Wang Shichun.
In general interrogation rooms, the interrogator and the interrogated are isolated, but this one is special in that several people are facing each other directly, similar to the case handling area.
Wang Shichun was a little surprised. He had come into contact with foreign currencies, such as US dollars and Australian dollars. There is a big difference between real cash and printed paper. This one feels very smooth and has a good texture, just like currency.
The money he got felt like real money, but the amount on it was too...
"One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, one hundred thousand, one million..." Wang Shichun wanted to count how much money was on it, but found that he had a headache.
"This is one hundred trillion," Professor Li said, taking out the Zimbabwean currency that he had prepared in advance. "This is a fortune that you cannot imagine. Look at it, stare at it, and don't let it out of your sight."
Bai Song's expression was startled. He knew that Professor Li's reverse hypnosis had begun!
When Bai Song saw the 100,000 Vietnamese dong note before, he knew that the currencies of many countries are very worthless. For example, this Zimbabwe dollar is not even as valuable as a 100-dollar bill, but the 14 zeros on it are real. People who are not good at math really don’t know how to read it.
"Look at this money, put your hands on your knees, yes, okay, this belongs to you forever, yes..." Professor Li knew that this hypnosis would be easy, Wang Shichun was already in a trance: "Look at it, with money, with endless money, everything you want, the woman you want, yes, are all yours. Okay, very good, don't try to open your eyes anymore, close your eyes, enjoy what you want, think about the person you want. You need to close your eyes, you need to rest, you are warm and comfortable, you have got what you wanted, rest."
Before coming in, Professor Li had reminded her that she was not in the main seat, so as not to let Wang Shichun see her as soon as he came in, thus forming a superficial resistance to her at the first sight. Moreover, the room must be very quiet. There must not be any sound of running water from the heater. Clocks must be removed and the quilts must be very comfortable, so that Wang Shichun can be in a very safe and comfortable state.
After this series of operations, Wang Shichun really fell asleep.
But this is only the first step. There are many levels of hypnosis. The most superficial hypnosis can only make the hypnotized person feel his eyelids fighting each other and feel very relaxed. A slightly deeper hypnosis can control the muscle movements and some memory behaviors of the hypnotized person, and can even make the hypnotized person temporarily lose the sense of pain. The deepest levels of hypnosis can cause people to hallucinate, see things that don’t actually exist, sleepwalk, etc., which is theoretically similar to being the walking dead.
Wang Shichun's previous state was that he was stimulated by Y to a slightly deeper state, while what Professor Li is currently doing is still the most basic. Whether a person can enter the second level requires suggestion by the hypnotist. This step is also difficult for Professor Li to achieve. However, in the current state, there is still hope to drag Wang Shichun, who was originally in a suggested state, back.
Hypnosis requires the cooperation of the hypnotized person, and not everyone can be hypnotized to a good state, and some people cannot be hypnotized at all. So it doesn't mean that finding a hypnotist can completely solve this problem. In addition to these, Professor Li also has very professional experience in other areas, which can be said to be very suitable for today's task.
“You already have money, so you don’t have to worry about it. You don’t have to do things you don’t want to do. You become very safe, very, very safe. No one will hurt you, and no one will refuse to agree to your request.” Professor Li began to give further psychological hints, and at this stage, Wang Shichun began to “not be afraid”.
This was truly a sign of no fear, as Wang Shichun actually took the initiative to speak Northeastern dialect.
