The Japanese investigation team has arrived.

The leader of the team was Military Attaché Kumaguchi Mata, the plenipotentiary representative of the Japanese Consul General in Shanghai Okamoto Yoshimasa.

Following him were four other Japanese.

Among them, a Japanese man standing next to Kumaguchi Mata aroused Meng Shaoyuan's curiosity.

The man seems to be smiling.

Yes, there was always a smile on his lips.

Some people are born with a happy face, and some people always have a smile on their lips and eyebrows no matter which angle they look at.

There is nothing strange about these.

But the problem is, Meng Shaoyuan can be sure that this smile was deliberately revealed.

From a psychological point of view, if a person deliberately smiles all day long, he must be hiding his true feelings there.

Many people think that smile is the easiest thing to recognize.

Wry smile, ridicule, superficial smile but no real smile...

But in fact, if a person maintains the same smile for many years, he can hide most of his inner world's emotional expressions.

Meng Shaoyuan used to be most afraid of meeting this kind of person who always maintains an unchanging smile and talks to you no matter what the circumstances.

His anxiety, anger, and nervousness were all expressed from that "smile."

Who is this Japanese?

"Mr. Xiongguchi, you arrived earlier than the agreed time." Ji Zhangjian greeted him.

Kumaguchi Mata glanced at him coldly and said: "What happened is a result that neither China nor Japan wants to see. Isamu Oyama, Saito and Zangzang went out after drinking privately, which embarrassed Japan. So.

We must investigate the cause of their death as soon as possible and report to the consulate and the navy, hoping to quell this incident as much as possible."

Just as the two sides began to negotiate, the Japanese with a smile walked up to Meng Shaoyuan: "Are you Mr. Meng Shaoyuan?"

He actually recognized Meng Shaoyuan at a glance, and he was able to speak Chinese that although not fluently, was understandable.

"Yes, have we met before?" Meng Shaoyuan asked calmly.

"Ah, no." The Japanese said calmly: "But, I have some information about you. Such a serious incident happened this time. I think the Chinese intelligence agencies will definitely be involved. You are so young.

, based on the information in my hand, I can tell you that it is Mr. Meng Shaoyuan who is highly regarded by the Director."

Meng Shaoyuan's expression was not surprised at all, even though the other party's judgment was so keen: "I think this is unfair. You know my name, but I don't know yours."

"You are such an interesting person." The Japanese smiled and said, "I just came to Shanghai from Tianjin. My name is Kawamoto Kojiro."

Kojiro Kawamoto?

"They tortured me for several days, and I didn't say a word. Later, they asked another person to interrogate me. That person's name was Kawamoto Kojiro. As soon as he saw me, he told me that he had studied in the United States for several years.

, so I know some tricks of interrogation.”

Everything Tiger said to him that day came to Meng Shaoyuan's mind.

When Meng Shaoyuan listened to Tiger's words, he immediately knew that he was about to meet an opponent:

Kojiro Kawamoto!

He doesn't know the torture methods he has mastered, nor does he know micro-expressions, but he knows human weaknesses and even understands psychology.

And now, this person is standing in front of him.

"My Chinese is not good, I'm really sorry." Kawamoto Kojiro said with a hint of apology in his tone: "I have just learned Chinese for two months."

Meng Shaoyuan suddenly also laughed.

Two months? This person has only learned Chinese for two months, and he can already speak it so well?

Kawamoto Kojiro suddenly became interested in Meng Shaoyuan: "I studied in the United States, and I once specialized in psychology, because my father is a doctor and is also interested in psychology. Of course, Japan does not have such good teachers. In the United States, I

The instructor was John Bruders Watson."

Speaking of this, he suddenly paused.

Meng Shaoyuan continued to smile.

He knew that for just a few tenths of a second, Kawamoto Kojiro was observing his reaction when he heard the name John Bruders Watson.

How could he not know this person?

President of the American Psychological Association, a well-known psychology master, the founder of behaviorist psychology, and an advertising master!

It was he who first proposed that psychological research methods must abandon the "introspection method" and replace it with experimental methods and observation methods commonly used in natural sciences.

In other words, the object of psychological research is not consciousness but behavior.

In a sense, this is the prototype of later micro-expressions.

Although people in this era are still completely unaware of what microexpressions are, it would take more than thirty years for the real microexpressions to be discovered and studied by American psychologist Paul Ekman.

Kawamoto Kojiro used his smile to cover himself up, while Meng Shaoyuan used his own medicine to treat others and kept smiling.

Just two smiles, not pleasant at all, but rather scary.

Kojiro Kawamoto did not gain anything from Meng Shaoyuan's face: "My teacher told me that when a person is talking, the other person suddenly smiles. One way is that he thinks what you said is funny, and the other way is that he is deliberately hiding something.

.However, I don’t think there’s anything funny about what I just said.”

"What do you mean, what am I hiding?" Meng Shaoyuan smiled frankly: "Look, let's get straight to the point. Mr. Kumaguchi Asada is the head of the secret service of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan. You are probably also a spy next to him.

Right? And what about me? Needless to say, everyone knows that I am a spy. Since I am a spy, I will always hide my inner feelings."

"You are really a person who is willing to tell the truth." Kawamoto Kojiro nodded: "Yes, I am also a spy. I was transferred to Shanghai to assist Mr. Xiongguchi in his work. I have studied psychology and have done a lot of work.

After a lot of hard work, I thought I could see through whether you were lying to me..."

Are you provoking me?

Meng Shaoyuan smiled.

Don't lie to me.

Are you challenging me, who is the unique and absolute authority in this industry in this era?

Did you really decide to do this?

John Bruders Watson once proposed a theory that when a psychologist commits a crime and another psychologist is responsible for interrogation and observation, the interrogating party must have the absolute upper hand and suppress the other party.

Psychologists have extremely strong psychological qualities, but once their psychological defenses are breached, all the cases of past patients will emerge, and their collapse will be more complete and faster than ordinary people.

"I have read some of your cases, but they are not particularly comprehensive. After all, we do not have such huge channels to obtain all the information." Kawamoto Kojiro said slowly: "Some people say that you always seem to be able to see through what the other person is thinking. It seems that you have

Magic, but I know it's not magic, it's just simple psychology.

You were laughing just now, you were hiding your emotions, look, Mr. Xiongguchi was having a heated discussion with Mr. Yoshizhang Jane, but you never looked there from the beginning to the end, because you didn't care, you knew the whole incident

, the most critical person in China is you, what are you doing here? You are here to help them cover up their crimes."

Very good, it is quite good to have such a standard.

"Observe very carefully." Meng Shaoyuan smiled even brighter: "You are a soldier, but in your heart you identify yourself more as a scholar, a scholar who is very obsessed with psychology. But I'm afraid you have gone astray, your psychology

It is relatively dark and likes to torture your research subjects for the greatest pleasure...

You do not belong to the secret service of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and you do not respect Kumaguchi Mata very much, so in the investigation of this incident, you are the protagonist of the Japanese side. Well, you were always scolded by your father when you were a child, and you were very afraid of your

Father, the reason for your dark heart probably started from your father's time. By the way, you need to treat your severe athlete's foot."

Kawamoto Kojiro is still laughing.

However, no matter how he concealed it, his fear could no longer be hidden from Meng Shaoyuan.

How on earth does this Chinese know this?

What he said was absolutely correct, without any deviation.

This isn't exactly psychology anymore.

This is... only the devil can do it!

Are you afraid?

Meng Shaoyuan smiled happily.

When you mention the name "John Bruders Watson", you will always emphasize it intentionally or unintentionally, which shows that you respect him and admire him.

And when you said the word "father", your tone was a little low, and there was even a slight stutter. Your father cast a great shadow on you in your childhood.

As for when you said "transferred to Shanghai to assist Mr. Kumaguchi in his work", it was obviously a bit careless, because you didn't take Mata Kumaguchi seriously at all.

It's easy to understand your status as a soldier. Tiger once told the young master about you.

beriberi?

You probably didn't even notice that your right foot was moving quietly while you were talking. Considering the sultry weather in Shanghai in August and you wearing leather shoes, your toes are itchy now, right?

However, these things that were easily observed by Meng Shaoyuan were simply a miracle for Kawamoto Kojiro.

What pained him the most was that he had no idea how Meng Shaoyuan could observe these things.

Some psychologists take it as their greatest pride to see through others, but now, when they seem to be stripped naked and appear in front of their opponents, what will they feel like?

Despair, helplessness, collapse.

The previous feeling of arrogance and being in control of the overall situation has suddenly disappeared without a trace.

"Don't lie to me." This time it was Meng Shaoyuan's turn to say this: "I have never met Mr. John Bruders Watson, let alone received his guidance, but this does not mean that I cannot
