After the competition in Zone A ended, a large number of people were eliminated, and only eight people were left to enter the semi-finals. Because there were not many people, after the semi-finals ended in the morning, the finals were held directly in the afternoon.
The content of the semi-final competition is that two psychologists were given different life scripts. The contestants drew lots and asked questions to one of the psychologists. Then the contestants judged whether he was telling the truth or a lie, and obtained the information they needed to know from the questions and the content of the conversation. The psychologists would guide and deceive the contestants.
This semi-final is a contest between the contestants and the psychological experts. The two winners from each group will enter the final to compete.
The waiting hall is already full of people waiting to watch the game. After the game starts, the entire game process will be broadcast live on the big screen on the wall.
Michelle's students also came today. Yi Wei helped Michelle push the wheelchair, and her other students followed behind. They went directly into the VIP room from the inner passage.
"Mom." Yi Wei walked up to Michelle and called out.
"Go ahead." Michelle looked at Yi Wei and said.
Yi Wei nodded, then turned and left the VIP room and walked outside the contestants' waiting room to draw lots.
Yi Wei drew Room No. 1. After he walked into Room No. 1, he saw that Qi Ran was not among the other three waiting contestants, which meant that Qi Ran was in the next room, Room No. 2. However, although the two of them are in different groups, it is not certain that they will be the only ones competing in the final. Maybe a dark horse will emerge.
The other three people looked at the "script" very seriously. Yi Wei also walked over and sat down, then opened the "script" and started reading it. The four people represent four different stories, all of which are true events, but it is not known when they happened. The "script" Yi Wei got was called "The Death of Susan", and he wanted to find out who killed Susan.
The "script" they got was not as specific and detailed as those of the two psychologists. It only had some simple introductions to the characters and the general content of the story. Of course, the two psychologists didn't know what they knew specifically. This was a psychological warfare contest.
Each contestant has thirty minutes to ask questions. After the questions are finished, they can leave the waiting room and go to the lobby.
After the three people in front of him finished, Yi Wei took a deep breath, put down the "script", stood up and walked into the interrogation room, while Qi Ran next door had also stood up and walked into another interrogation room.
"Hi, Jack." Yi Weiyi greeted as he sat down.
"Hi." Jack also raised his hand to greet Yi Wei with a very relaxed attitude.
"Are you and Susan really just friends?"
"On the surface, that's true," Jack said, "but in fact, she has been seducing me. We have had affairs several times, so we can be considered lovers."
Yi Weiyi nodded, wrote down what he said, and then continued to ask: "Have you ever had an affair at home?"
"Of course, she is our neighbor and lives so close to us. She often comes to my house and sometimes cooks dinner with my wife."
"Has your affair ever been discovered by your wife?"
"Maybe I have discovered it."
"perhaps?"
"My wife also has a lover outside. We agreed to have our own affairs. Even if she finds out, she won't tell anyone."
“Does she cook better food, or does your wife cook better food?”
Jack was stunned for a moment, then thought for a moment and said, "My wife's cooking is more to my taste."
"How is your wife's relationship with her?"
"Not bad, they get along well and sometimes go shopping together."
"So do you know what they usually talk about?"
"It's probably something to do with the child. Her child is about the same age as my son, but he went to college in another city. She lives alone and is quite lonely."
"How is your relationship with your son?"
"Very good, we often play together now."
“Is he closer to you or to your wife?”
"We are all men and are more able to communicate and interact."
"And how is your son's attitude toward Susan?"
"It's just a normal attitude, nothing special."
Yi Wei nodded and said, "Then let's go back to the previous question. It is said that Susan's cooking skills are very good. Why do you think the food cooked by your wife is more to your taste?"
"My wife is also a good cook. After all, we have lived together for so many years. It is certain that my wife understands my taste better."
"But Susan has been seducing you. When a person wants to seduce another person and wants to attract that person's attention, shouldn't he know more about that person? Susan often comes to your house and prepares dinner with your wife, but she has never prepared food that suits your taste. Isn't this strange?"
"I don't think the food Susan cooks is not to my taste, I just think my wife's cooking is more to my taste." In Jack's "script", there is no content about Susan's good cooking skills, and his character thinks that the food Susan cooks is not delicious.
"You are lying." Yi Wei looked into his eyes and said with certainty: "You were lying just now."
"I didn't lie." Jack looked back at Yi Wei and said seriously.
Yi Wei smiled and said, "Let me tell you my judgment. First of all, you said that Susan has been seducing you, so I knew you were lying. The subsequent questions confirmed my judgment. Susan is obviously a good cook, but the food she made is not to your taste. Could it be intentional? Let's assume that she did it on purpose. She deliberately made the food not to your taste. Why? Is it because she actually hates you? If she hates you, why would she often go to your house and interact with your wife so much? Could it be that... the one she likes is actually your wife?"
"So...you think it was me who discovered their affair and killed Susan in anger?" Jack continued with Yi Wei's words.
"That's possible, but it's also possible that your wife found out about your relationship with her and killed her in a rage." Yi Wei said, "It's also possible that the three of you had an argument, and one of you accidentally killed her."
"So what do you think, was it me who made the mistake, or was it my wife who made the mistake?" Jack asked Yi Wei.
"What are your wife's hobbies?" Yi Wei asked.
"She is a housewife and doesn't have a job. In her free time, she just goes shopping, gets a beauty massage, does yoga, or dates her lover."
"Did she ever bring a lover home?"
"I don't know. Anyway, I haven't seen it."
"Does your son know that each of you has a lover?"
"He should know. We didn't hide anything from him on purpose."
"Do you think he knows about the relationship between Susan and you and your wife?"
"I don't know."
"You lied." Yi Wei asked, "Why did you lie about this? Does he know or not know what the truth is behind it?"
"Okay, I did lie," Jack admitted. "I'm sure my son doesn't know about us."
"Come to think of it, your son is already in college, but he still lives at home. Why doesn't he live on campus?"
"Because the school is close, my wife let him live at home so that it would be easier to take care of him. She also agreed to buy him a house to move out after he graduated from college."
"How's your son doing in school?"
“He’s a good student.”
"You said earlier that he would play ball with you, so he's also good at sports?"
"not bad."
"Does he have a girlfriend?"
"No."
"Where's your boyfriend?"
“Neither do I.”
"are you sure?"
"I'm sure my son is heterosexual." Jack asked doubtfully, "Does what you're asking have anything to do with Susan's death?"
Yi Wei glanced at the time and said, "There are still five minutes left. Let me tell you my judgment. I could tell you lied several times when you answered my questions. You said that you and your wife both have lovers and you play with your own. Since your wife also has a lover, why does she still ask your son who is already in college to live at home so that she can take care of him? If your son goes to college to live on campus or moves out, and you go to work, won't she have more time to date her lover?"
After observing his reaction, Yi Wei continued, "You do have many lovers outside, and your wife knows about it, but she is probably numb, so she focuses all her attention on the children. You haven't divorced for so many years, it must be because you still love you in your heart. Since you love you so much that you don't want to divorce, how could you have other lovers? You deliberately led me to think that Susan likes your wife, but in fact, Susan likes your son. You said that Susan has been seducing you, but in fact, you harassed Susan, so Susan hates you. But even if she hates you, Susan still often goes to your house, in fact, to seduce your son. Your son is good at studying and sports, but he has no girlfriend or boyfriend. Susan often goes to your house to seduce him, and he didn't ask to move out, so it is very likely that he and Susan are in love."
Yi Wei paused for a moment and then said, "How would a woman whose husband has many lovers outside and who puts all his attention on his children feel when she finds out that her best friend is having an affair with her son? There is a high possibility that she would kill someone in a fit of rage, am I right?"
The rule of this competition is that you cannot remain silent. No matter what the question is, you must speak up and answer.
Jack closed his eyes, sighed and said, "You win, you are right about everything."
People who were watching the game in the hall began to talk.
"That's amazing. You really deserve to be Mrs. Michelle's student."
"Being able to tell at a glance whether the other person is lying or not, this is like a human lie detector."
"Mrs. Miller was known as the human lie detector back then, and now her students have inherited the title, which is really great."
"It looks like Ivy is definitely one of the people in Group 1 who has made it to the finals."
"That's for sure. Didn't you hear the other party say that Ivy was right about everything?"
In daily life, most people will unconsciously express their true inner emotions and thoughts through subtle expressions and movements, as well as eye contact and breathing rate. The so-called unconscious means that even they are not aware of it.
But psychologists like these are very good at hiding their emotions and thoughts. It is very difficult to see through them. The more carefully you observe, the easier it is to be deceived by details. Yi Wei actually looks at the other person's eyes more and then relies on his feelings. His feelings are so accurate, which can be said to be a strong talent.
People in the hall outside were all sighing at Yi Wei's ability, while in the judging room, Frensen, who was sitting in the judging seat, said with a mocking smile: "Michelle Miller's student is just so-so. I said before that Michelle Miller's ability must have declined significantly after not appearing for a few years. Judging from the performance of this student of hers, I was right."
The other judges looked at each other, thinking that Michelle Miller's reputation was going to decline with this student. It seemed that she was too hasty and should not recommend a student who had studied psychology for such a short time to participate in the competition.
And Frenson couldn't wait to mock Michelle in person. After so many years, he could finally vent his anger.
