Feng Bujue was sitting behind the desk, flipping through the booklet that Officer Mark used to record the confession. Detective Scofield was sitting on a chair next to the desk.
The two of them "commanded" this room and prepared to conduct individual interviews with the suspects one by one.
"Based on the confirmed criminal evidence and relevant information in this case, we can try to make a logical description and judgment of the criminal psychology of the perpetrator. These three steps are the basic steps from collecting information, to inductive analysis, to inferring the results.
.Specifically, it is the use of deduction..." Feng Bujue was telling (showing off) the theory of criminal psychological analysis to Schofield with great interest.
"Oh! Deduction! I've heard of it before." Scofield finally heard a clear word, and he continued, "Is it a concept in the "Sherlock Holmes" novel?"
"No, 'deductive method' is just a way of saying it. This word can have many meanings." Feng Bujue shook his head, "In this case, what we need to use more is not Holmes's deductive method, but the so-called deductive method.
Deductive methods in 'criminal profiling'."
"Uh...what is that..." Schofield asked.
"Infer the psychological characteristics of the criminal, and then outline some of his/her physical characteristics, personality characteristics, daily habits, etc., thereby reducing the number of suspects and delineating the scope of suspects." Feng Bujue explained: "
This is not a science in the strict sense, but it is indeed a quite advanced detection concept." He licked his lips, "The deductive method in criminal psychological profiling is divided into two steps. The first step is through
Communicate with the suspect to obtain the main evidence. These evidences can be behavioral factors or criminal psychological trace elements. The second step is to associate criminal behavior or criminal psychology based on general principles such as criminal psychology, physical evidence technology, and investigative science.
The relationship between the traces and the specific suspect, and draw conclusions about the portrait.
Of course, the specific steps of profiling include five steps and more than a dozen key points. I won’t go into details. I can’t finish them in a short time. Anyway... I guess... these courses will be moved to the police academy in ten years.
Tutorial... From now on, the world will be dominated by academics, and those who can write reports will be promoted faster."
Dong Dong——
Just as Feng Bujue was taking the topic further and further, there was a knock on the door, and Constable Dumpdy said outside the door, "Mrs. Carol has been brought here, sir."
Scofield and Brother Jue looked at each other, and the latter quickly nodded. Then, the detective turned his face and shouted outside: "Invite her in."
The door opened and Mrs. Carol walked in. Her eyes were red and swollen, tears were not dry, and most of the expensive cosmetics on her face had been wiped off with a handkerchief. Her face, which was not even beautiful, looked even more haggard at this moment.
Unbearable.
"I'm sorry to bother you again and again at this time." When Feng Bujue spoke, Dumpdy had already closed the door behind Carol from outside the study.
Carol replied: "It doesn't matter...you have responsibilities too." Her voice when she replied was low and slightly hoarse, which was also the sequelae of crying for a long time.
"Well... please sit down first." Feng Bujue reached out and gestured to the seat opposite him.
Scofield stepped forward at the right time, helped the lady hold the chair, and asked her to sit down.
"Thank you." Carol said softly to the detective and sat down opposite Feng Bujue.
"I'll get straight to the point." Feng Bujue said as soon as the other party sat down, "The murderer is someone in this villa, right among us."
Carol was also mentally prepared for this. No matter how sad she was, she would not be unable to figure out such an obvious thing.
"Who is it?" Carol asked tremblingly.
"I did think of some hypotheses." Feng Bujue said, "But before I am completely sure, I want to hear your opinion first."
"Me?" Carol asked doubtfully.
"Yes." Feng Bujue asked, "I would like to ask you to tell me who you think the murderer is?"
Carol's eyes flickered and looked uncertain. She was obviously thinking about something in her heart, but she still replied: "I...I don't know...Why are you asking me?"
"Haha..." Feng Bujue smiled, "Since you don't want to say it, let me explain my reasoning." He leaned back in his chair and said in a relaxed tone, "I think... kill
The person who killed Dennis Lovecraft is you, Ms. Carol."
"What!" Carol was shocked and angry, her voice rising unconsciously, "How dare you say that! How much I love my husband! My heart was almost broken when he died, and you actually accused me
I am a murderer!"
"According to your testimony..." Feng Bujue was not affected by the other party's excited attitude at all and continued on his own, "Before you opened the door, the door was locked. But after you opened the door and saw the body,
He didn't even enter the room, he was so scared that he collapsed in the corridor." He shrugged, "But when we rushed to the scene, all the windows in the room were locked from the inside, and there was no other exit. The murderer only had the key.
Who else could you... be?" He deliberately said nonsense, "I think... you killed the person first, then locked the room, went out, disposed of the murder weapon and washed off the blood on your hands, and then came back.
, pretending to be the discoverer of the body to clear away suspicion."
"You...you are talking nonsense!" Carol was so angry that she couldn't speak smoothly. "Why should I kill my husband?"
"What's the motive...I think it's love that leads to hatred..." Feng Bujue raised the pamphlet in his hand and waved it gently, "According to what Officer Mark asked...you and Dennis don't have a child.
,Yeah?"
"Yes! So what! Is that illegal?" Carol asked.
"A couple in their forties, the man's family is well-off, and the woman's family is even more prominent. Without any pressure in life, if the couple loves each other, why don't they have children..." Feng Bujue muttered, "
It’s not illegal… but it’s very strange, don’t you think?”
"This is our private matter!" Carol said angrily.
"Private matter... ha..." Feng Bujue continued as if nothing happened, "Then I, an outsider, can't help but make wild guesses... Does your husband also... love you as much as you love him?
What? Does he have any other purpose in marrying you? You also know that although the Lovecraft family is considered rich in the eyes of ordinary people, compared with your family..."
