"It doesn't affect your discussion, right? Feng Xiao, Officer Tong, let me introduce you to a friend." Zhong Feng said to us with a smile.
Tong Yao and I stood up in a hurry.
"This is Feng Xiao, the deputy mayor of Shangjiang City. My good friend. This is Police Officer Tong, a good friend of Mayor Feng." Zhong Feng immediately introduced Tong Yao and me to this middle-aged man.
Tong Yao said hurriedly: "I used to be a policeman, but not now."[
"This is my friend. He is a famous writer in our province. His real name is Luneng and his pen name is Xia Zhi. This restaurant is his idea." Zhong Feng immediately introduced the middle-aged man to us.
At the beginning, I noticed that there was a kind of unruly look in this middle-aged man’s eyes, and he never looked at me seriously at all. I clearly felt that his eyes were at a 45-degree angle above my face. However,
When Zhong Feng finished introducing his personal situation, he immediately asked Tong Yao: "You are not a police officer now? Why? There is no way for police officers to change careers."
Zhong Feng said hurriedly: "There are so many police officers who have switched to other jobs. Is it any wonder?"
But Tong Yao said openly: "Manager Zhong, you don't have to worry about me being embarrassed. Writer Lu, right? I actually made a mistake, so I was fired."
Zhong Feng immediately blamed her writer friend and said, "Look, I told you not to ask, but you just don't listen!"
The writer said: "I am a writer and I am very sensitive to such things. I think there must be wonderful stories to be discovered here. Miss Tong, if you have a chance, can you tell me your story?"
Tong Yao smiled and said: "Comrade writer, I may disappoint you. My story is very simple, not tortuous at all. It is that I acted privately without asking my superiors for instructions, which resulted in the sacrifice of a comrade. Comrade writer
"There is a big difference between reality and the plots in novels. Things in reality are often much simpler, but they are more cruel than those in novels."
Luneng's eyes widened immediately, "Miss Tong, your words are very philosophical. I will write them down and will definitely include them in my works."
Zhong Feng immediately glared at him, "Are you as good at picking up girls as you are? Are you too old-fashioned? Officer Tong has a boyfriend, so you have no chance."
Luneng immediately said sarcastically: "Am I that kind of person?"
I found that although this man was arrogant, he seemed to be a little afraid of Zhong Feng. Did he have such thoughts about Zhong Feng? Is this why he looked at me like that just now? Because when Zhong Feng introduced me to him
He did not use my job title, so he felt that I had a different relationship with Zhong Feng? Seeing this, I was worried that our atmosphere would be affected, so I hurriedly said: "Please sit down. Comrade writer, come,
Let me toast you. To be honest, being a writer is a dream for many people, but how many people can actually realize this dream? So I envy you and admire you very much."
He sat down, and then we all sat down.
The writer was still looking at me with that squinting look, but now there was a smile on his face. He said: "They say that you officials like to flatter people and are good at flattering people. Today I
But I saw it. But I like your flattery, because you are telling the truth."
Zhong Feng blamed him again: "Hey! How do you speak? Feng Xiao is my friend, why do you speak so unpleasantly?"
I said nonchalantly: "Zhong Feng, it's nothing. Writers, their thinking must be different, and I think his words get to the essence of the problem. Writers see problems differently from us ordinary people, otherwise what would happen?
Can you write a work of depth?"
Luneng looked at me in surprise, and this time he looked squarely at me, "Do you really think so?"
I smiled and said: "Of course. Each of us has our own code of conduct, that is to say, each of us has free thoughts, and others should not interfere with others' freedom of thought. Comrade writer,
Your profession is a writer, so you must be free to think about problems. The more unrestricted you are, the more you can let your thoughts run wild, the better. This is the freedom you need. I am a politician, and I must follow the rules of a politician.
Some principles and philosophies of doing things, including flattering people, flattering, etc., are also necessary skills for our profession, or it can be said to be a kind of freedom we need. Therefore, the meaning of freedom should be very broad, and it applies to everyone
The standards are also different. But mutual respect for each other's freedom is the most important thing. Comrade writer, do you think so?"
He immediately picked up the wine glass and said, "Mayor Feng, you are so right. Now it seems that it is indeed my fault. We literati have such a temper. We often look down on others and think we are great. Mayor Feng,
There aren’t many leaders like you nowadays. You are so open-minded and can understand freedom from this perspective. That’s great. I’d like to propose a toast to you on Summer Solstice.”
I immediately felt that this person was very cute. In fact, it is true that the writers may sometimes have a weird temper, but many of them should be very pure in heart. I immediately picked up the wine glass and touched it with him, and then
Drink.[
Zhong Feng suddenly looked very happy, but she said with a smile: "You also said that others like flattery, wasn't what you just said just flattery?"
Luneng, no, I felt it. He liked his pen name more than his real name. Xia Zhi immediately said seriously: "I'm not flattering, it's the truth."
I smiled and said: "So it's still the same question. Everything is relative. Sometimes flattery is actually the truth, but because the people who listen to those words are different, the understanding is different. For example, in my case
In my work, sometimes it is the leader who does something very well, so I will praise him a few words in front of him, but if the people hear it, they will definitely think that it is me.
Flattering the leader in a disgusting manner. In fact, it is not necessarily the leader who is like this, but most of us like to listen to flattery from others. This is not surprising. Because flattery represents a kind of recognition by others, and thus also
It satisfies a person's inner sense of satisfaction, and from a psychological point of view, this is also a very normal thing."
Xia Zhi seemed to be even happier. He raised his glass to me again, "Mayor Feng, what you said is so good. I didn't expect you to have such a level at such a young age. To be honest, I just saw you for the first time.
When I was there, I was thinking: I don’t know which official’s son this person is. Now it seems that you are a person with real talents and learning. Come on, I’ll toast you again. I hope I can have the opportunity to talk to you more in the future.
, this may also be helpful to my writing.”
I smiled slightly at him, "Okay. But it's not that I can help you, but that we can both learn from each other. Maybe I can provide you with some writing materials, but you may be able to help me learn not to
There are few things that are wise. So, if there is a chance, let’s learn from each other.”
He was immediately overjoyed and said, "I also like to hear what you said."
I thought he was getting cuter and cuter, and I couldn't help but laugh. Then I asked him, "I heard that you were in college before? What happened next? You resigned?"
He replied: "I used to be a teacher at Jiangnan Agricultural University. At the beginning, I published some short stories or poems in newspapers and magazines, and gradually became famous. Later I found that I really didn't like it.
The major I teach, I feel that spending so much time on my major is really a waste of time, and then I start to consider resigning. But my wife objects to it, what should I do? So I have to be patient and stay in the university.
But no one could understand my pain... Hey! Later I thought that it was unrealistic to resign and devote myself to writing, so I thought of making money. But I didn't make any money.
What should I do with my money skills? Then I thought of a way: use all the money at home to speculate in stocks. Of course, I did it behind my wife’s back. But in the end, I failed miserably, and I wasted the little savings I had at home.
How much was left? My wife also divorced me in a rage. At that time, I was also confused, so I simply resigned. My idea at the time was very simple: anyway, I have nothing now, so what else can I do?
I might as well just calm down and write my own novel. Not to mention, my first book was published soon, and the sales were pretty good. Later, I became a member of our Jiangnan Province Writers Association. Later, my works
It was made into a movie and TV series. Once, the leader of the Writers Association invited me to have dinner at Nanyuan Restaurant. That was the day I met Xiao Zhong. I didn’t know where we started chatting at that time. Anyway, we ended up talking about the restaurant.
A unique thing. It happened that I wrote about the most beautiful restaurant scene in my heart in a previous work, so I discussed this matter with her. Haha! This is how this restaurant came into being."
I couldn't help but admire him and said: "You are amazing. It is really not easy for a person to quit his job to do something he likes and be successful. Many people can only think about it at most, but if you really want to
But it’s not easy to do that.”
He said proudly: "Of course. When my wife and I divorced, many people in the school looked at me with sympathy or contempt. Later, when I resigned, they felt that I was at the end of my rope.
In fact, they didn't know that although I had no choice but to resign, the joyful feeling I felt after resigning was difficult for ordinary people to feel. That feeling...how should I put it? Yes, that's right.
A feeling of freedom from soul to body. It was precisely because I had that feeling that my passion for creation was inspired, and a wonderful and profound novel was born. Haha! Mayor Feng, you
I don’t know, when I went back to read my first book recently, I couldn’t believe that I wrote it myself! It was so well written!”
I immediately laughed again.
While Xia Zhi and I were talking just now, Zhong Feng and Tong Yao were listening with great interest. At this time, they both laughed together with me.
Zhong Feng smiled and said, "Is there anyone as narcissistic as you?"
I smiled and said: "This is a kind of self-confidence. Today I was talking to Tong Yao about self-confidence. Confidence is the fundamental reason for a person's success."
Tong Yao started coughing immediately. I looked at her and immediately felt that she seemed to be stopping me from continuing to talk about this topic, so I hurriedly shut up.
But Xia Zhi was aroused by me to talk, and he immediately said: "Mayor Feng is so right. I am..."
At this time, Zhong Feng interrupted him immediately, "Okay, stop talking. They are talking about things here, let's avoid it."
Xia Zhi glanced at me, and I hurriedly said: "It's okay. It won't affect you."
Zhong Feng went to grab Xia Zhi and said, "Let's go, he will come often from now on. By the way, Feng Xiao, let's talk about what I told you on the phone today later. You are busy today."
I was stunned for a moment: What did she say to me on the phone? But I suddenly realized: she was talking about our going to the hotel to book a room tonight.
She must have misunderstood my relationship with Tong Yao. This was obvious. But I couldn't say anything more, and Xia Zhi had already been pulled up by her and was about to leave.
Xia Zhi said politely to me and Tong Yao: "Then, you two, eat slowly. Come here often. Call me anytime when you come. I have my number." [
I hurriedly stood up and smiled at him and said, "Okay. I will definitely call you when I come here from now on."
But Zhong Feng went to give him a hand again, "Let's go, where did all this nonsense come from?!"
They left immediately. Tong Yao looked at me, "Feng Xiao, this boss Zhong seems to be jealous of me."
I hurriedly said: "How is that possible? It seems to me that this writer really likes her. You see, he is such an arrogant person, but he is so obedient to Zhong Feng."
In fact, Tong Yao didn't know that I felt sour when I said this.
Tong Yao nodded and smiled: "It seems true."
I suddenly remembered something, and then asked her: "Actually, you don't want them to be here, right?"
My theory is very simple, because just now she didn't say that she wanted Zhong Feng and Xia Zhi to stay. She didn't even say a polite word of condolence. Perhaps it was because of this that Zhong Feng suddenly realized that she and Xia Zhi had to leave, and at the same time, she also
I misunderstood my relationship with Tong Yao.
Tong Yao's face suddenly turned red, "I mainly want to discuss the case with you today, and I don't want to be disturbed by others."
I sighed in my heart: She was too purposeful. In fact, in a place like this and on a night like this, it wouldn't be bad for the four of us to have a casual chat together.
But I understand her feelings. Now that she has no job, she is always thinking about that case. In any case, Tong Yangxi's death is inevitably related to her original arrangement, so in her heart
The guilt and uneasiness inside were understandable. I said to her softly: "That's okay. Let's study it slowly while eating."
She raised her glass to me and said, "Feng Xiao, come on, let me toast you a glass. I hope that after you have a few drinks, it will inspire you."
After that, we stopped talking, because my thoughts had gone back to the past, to that night. But Tong Yao didn't want to disturb my thoughts, so we immediately started eating and drinking together in conversation.
I remember what happened that night clearly.
At that time, Sun Lulu was working in my company. She was in charge of the old city renovation project in the city where Lin Yu once served as the municipal party secretary, and Tong Yangxi happened to be the manager of Lin Yi's cement factory there. The two of them
From meeting each other, falling in love, and then getting married.
That day, I went to Sun Lulu's place to check the company's operation, and then invited her and Tong Yangxi to have dinner together. I remember that there were other people attending the dinner. After dinner, I drove back to the provincial capital, and Sun Lulu said that she
She wanted to give her a ride back with me. Then I sent her to her mother, and then I went home. And then... But what happened next is what I heard. It was said to be Sun Lulu
Suddenly she saw a piece of clothing falling from upstairs at her mother's place, and then she suddenly remembered that there were clothes to be washed in the washing machine at home, so she hurried back home.
After she finished washing her clothes and went to bed, Tong Yangxi went home.
We later guessed the reason why Tong Yangxi returned home. We estimated that Tong Yangxi knew about my previous relationship with Sun Lulu, so he felt a little uneasy when he saw me and Sun Lulu returning to the provincial capital that day, so he went home in the middle of the night.
It's time to return home.
Then the tragedy happened.
My mind flashed to the terrifying scene where Sun Lulu woke up in the middle of the night and suddenly saw a stranger in front of her. She was terrified, then resisted, and then used a kitchen knife. What does this mean? It means that she clearly felt herself at that time.
life was threatened.
"Stranger..." I murmured.
Then I heard Tong Yao asking me: "What stranger?"
I thought about it and said: "Tong Yao, do you think about this possibility? In fact, the person who entered Sun Lulu's room was not Tong Yangxi at all, but someone else. No... this is not
No. Sun Lulu accidentally hurt someone and immediately found out that it was Tong Yangxi. Then, there can only be one situation. Tong Yangxi wanted to make a joke with Sun Lulu, but Sun Lulu accidentally hurt him. As you said
In this case, the matter is very simple, and there may not be any conspiracy or murder. This is a friendly fire."
She shook her head slightly.
I looked at her and said, "Tong Yao, I understand how you feel, because you have never been able to accept such a result in your heart, so you always think this is a murder."
She was still shaking her head, "Feng Xiao, things are not as simple as you think. You know that when I asked Tong Yangxi to join the Jiangnan Group, I wanted him to investigate the case many years ago, but he ended up like that.
He's dead. Do you think this matter was so coincidental and simple?" Then she said sadly: "If you want to blame me, I can only blame myself for being too capable, because I can't find out the truth of the case and avenge him.
.Why......"
I comforted her and said: "Tong Yao, the police profession is inherently a high-risk profession. I recently read a report that about four hundred police officers die in the line of duty in our country every year. Of course, the main ones are anti-narcotics police and criminal police. Tong Yao,
In fact, it doesn’t matter if you are not a police officer now, I hope you can be safe, this is the best thing."
She sighed softly and said: "Feng Xiao, you are right. The police is not only a profession, but also a responsibility and mission. In fact, the police is the most special profession: except for soldiers during the war,
The police are the group that most avoid the dangers they face. Combating criminal crimes and maintaining social order are the eternal responsibilities of the police. The police are not only high-risk, but also "high-pressure". This high-pressure first comes from the high-risk profession itself
, comes from high-intensity work. At present, the ratio of urban police force to urban population in our country is one to three hundred in Western countries on average, while in some places in our country it is one to one thousand and two. Due to the serious shortage of police force, they work overtime and are overloaded.
, is the norm in police work. Secondly, it comes from a high sense of responsibility for social security. In addition, the psychological pressure cannot be ignored. The police are more exposed to the dark side of society. Psychological research shows that among all emergency occupations, the police bear the most
The mental stress index of
People carry a lifetime. They take it easy when in danger, and remain calm in the face of danger. They may not have any rhetoric, but their responsibilities have turned into silent dedication in their daily duties. "Ordinary yet great" is a true portrayal of this industry. Behind the private dedication of each public security police officer
, is a family of self-sacrifice. The family members of the public security police, especially the many police wives, have to bear too heavy a burden, and they have to make too many sacrifices. Therefore, being a wife or husband of a police officer
It takes courage, especially for the family members of anti-drug police officers and criminal police officers. Every time a major case occurs, they spend their time in uneasiness and extreme worry. Feng Xiao, you don’t have this personal experience. In fact,
You cannot truly understand many of the real conditions in this industry. Anyone who has not personally experienced this profession will never be able to truly feel the hardship and pain of this profession. In fact, this is not the degeneration of some police officers.
What's the reason? The police are also human beings. They pay so much and get so little. It's weird to be mentally balanced. Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore. Anyway, I am no longer a policeman. Hey, it's really strange.
To this day, I still can’t let go of my former career.”
I looked at the wine and food on the table, "Tong Yao, do you need to order more food and wine? We'll add more if necessary."
She shook her head, "No, let's go for a walk. By the way, Feng Xiao, you said before that Sun Lulu might have been hypnotized. I've been thinking about it. Maybe your idea is the only way to explain this case.
Maybe. But you should know that hypnosis requires environment and time, and hypnosis requires the cooperation of the person being hypnotized. Sun Lulu is an adult, how could she be willing to be hypnotized?"
I said: "That's not necessarily true. A person is most easily hypnotized in a state of light sleep. For example, when we dream...dreaming can only occur in a state of light sleep.
Because the cerebral cortex is still active in a state of light sleep, dreams will appear at this time. When we are dreaming, if our subjective consciousness knows that we are dreaming, we can use our own psychological suggestions to make it happen.
Dreams develop towards the plot that we want. For example, we sometimes have a beautiful dream. When we wake up, we feel that it is a pity that the dream has not been completed, and then continue to sleep. At the same time, just before falling asleep, we say to ourselves, I hope this dream will be beautiful.
Continue. Then, this beautiful dream may really continue. Unless you enter deep sleep all of a sudden, because dreams will not occur in deep sleep."
She shook her head and said, "I don't quite understand what you're talking about. You're too professional. Feng Xiao, you mean to say that people are most easily hypnotized in a state of light sleep, right?"
I nodded and said with some embarrassment: "Sorry, Tong Yao, I made the problem too complicated. Let me give you another example. For example, when a person is talking in his sleep, if someone picks him up, then he will
Answer. But after he woke up, he didn't remember the incident at all. This is actually a kind of hypnosis."
She nodded, "I understand when you put it this way. Feng Xiao, so your idea is feasible. Let's order more food and drinks, and let's study the case again. But, why do we call this place a waiter?"
I smiled slightly and said, "Didn't you notice there is a call button under the table? Zhong Feng used this mechanism just now."
She immediately asked me: "Where?"
I turned sideways to look at the seat in front of Zhong Feng, and then pressed the button. Not long after, a beautiful girl floated over.
I asked her to bring us some more snacks and a bottle of wine.
The girl smiled and nodded before drifting away.
Tong Yao looked at me and smiled, "Boss Zhong is a little confused today. Feng Xiao, do you think so?"
I looked at her in shock, "Why do you say that?"
She pursed her lips and smiled, "Otherwise, why didn't she tell us that there is this institution here? As long as the guests come here, they will definitely be informed, right? She received us in person today, and she actually forgot about it. Feng Xiao, you
You are really a hot potato, it turns out there are so many women who like you."
I smiled bitterly in my heart, but said in a sullen voice: "Then, who am I? Diamond King Lao Wu!"
She laughed immediately, her whole body shaking with laughter, "Are you as narcissistic as you? But Feng Xiao, you actually have many advantages. You care about women very much, and you care from the heart. This is
Your biggest advantage. Also, I find that you are really different now than before. You are much calmer than before, and your speech is also very good."
Now I felt embarrassed, "Don't praise me, I will be proud."
In fact, I know that the main reason why we won't talk about the case for the time being is that we are waiting for the waiter to bring the food and drinks, because discussing such a case requires strict logic, and once the train of thought is interrupted midway, it will be difficult to continue.
Already.
The food and drinks came very quickly, and a team of beauties in ancient costumes brought them all at once, so Tong Yao and I didn't spend long chatting and joking.
Then we continued discussing the case
Tong Yao first brought the topic back to the case. She said to me: "Feng Xiao, now that the conditions for Sun Lulu to be hypnotized are met, what kind of process do you think will happen next?"
I waved my hand to her and said: "I have been thinking about this problem just now. Just wait, I will continue to think about it. Come, eat food and drink."
After a while, I felt that my thinking became clearer, and then I said: "Maybe it's like this... After Sun Lulu fell asleep, someone hypnotized her. This person told her through hypnosis that you will have a baby at home soon.
A thief comes, and you fight him, and the thief is beaten away by you..."
Before I finished speaking, I was immediately interrupted by Tong Yao. She asked me: "Why didn't this person tell Sun Lulu that she killed someone?"
I shook my head and said, "That is absolutely not allowed. Psychological suggestion must not break through a person's minimum bottom line. Things like killing people will have a huge stimulation on the hypnotized person and will make the hypnotized person wake up immediately."
She nodded and said, "That's right. Then you can continue talking."
I said: "Actually, the process of being hypnotized is not important. What is important is that we need to imagine how the other party designed this case. Of course, this must be when murder is established. Judging from the current situation,
I still don’t think this case is a murder, because I think many situations cannot be explained by murder, because if this case is really a murder, then there will be too many coincidences. Tong Yao, I don’t really believe in coincidences
Yes, everything happens for a reason, or a logical relationship. An accident without a logical relationship shows that it is unlikely to be man-made. First, that day, Sun Lulu temporarily remembered that she wanted to go back to the provincial capital with me.
Secondly, she also accidentally remembered that the clothes at home had not been washed, so she decided to go home at the last minute. Therefore, it is unlikely that this was a case that was designed and then implemented. According to our current assumptions
Look, this case was obviously implemented after careful planning in advance. This is a very big contradiction."
She said: "What you said is indeed very reasonable. This is also the fundamental reason why the case was closed like that at that time. In fact, I often think about this issue myself? But Feng Xiao, I noticed what you just said is that it is not possible.
Big, but you didn't say it's completely impossible. Then, we can think about it this way: If the designer of this case is a person with a high IQ, in this case, would those accidental things be possible?
Has it become inevitable?"
I smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not a highly intelligent person, so I can't explain your problem."
She immediately laughed, "I think you have a very high IQ. Feng Xiao, let's put aside these accidents for the time being, and let's first analyze the circumstances of the case under inevitable circumstances. Because I think only by analyzing the inside
Only after understanding the situation can we find possible hidden doubts and find some clues. As long as the clues are established, other questions can be answered. What do you think?"
I nodded, "That's a very good idea... Wait a minute, I'll think about it again."
After a while, I said: "Well, let's assume that this is a murder case. The murderer first hypnotized Sun Lulu. Well, the murderer only needs to slowly make Sun Lulu accept during the hypnosis process that she accidentally injured the thief who entered the house.
Fact. As I said before, it was impossible for him to tell Sun Lulu so directly about her murder at the beginning. There must be a process of guidance. I am not a professional psychologist, although I do it myself
It's not up to this point, but I believe that a professional psychiatrist can do it. And then... yes, that's it. In fact, the purpose of hypnotizing Sun Lulu is not to make Sun Lulu actually do it, but to make her subconscious
Such a process is implanted in it, that is to say, all we need is to let Sun Lulu have such a dream..."
Tong Yao immediately said: "You mean, Tong Yangxi was actually killed by Biran, and then that process was implanted in Sun Lulu's subconscious?"
I nodded, "Only this can explain everything."
She said: "This is impossible? Sun Lulu was sleeping, but the situation at that time was that she accidentally injured Tong Yangxi and then suddenly realized that she had killed her husband. How to explain this?"
I smiled slightly and said, "It's not difficult to do this. You just need to tell Sun Lulu to get up immediately during hypnosis, and then guide her to the kitchen. This is equivalent to nocturnal disorder. Moreover, the murderer also
You can put the kitchen knife in Sun Lulu's hand and hold it...Ah, by the way, there is a key issue here. Tong Yao, it is not difficult to verify this matter. If we can verify one thing
, then it can prove that the hypothesis we just made is valid!”
She looked at me with a kind of surprise in her eyes, "Feng Xiao, tell me quickly."
I thought about it again, and still felt that my analysis made sense, and then I said to her: "Hypnosis can be divided into several stages. As I said before, the process is not important, and it is not difficult to achieve that.
All it takes is a professional psychologist. And do you know what the key to this matter is?"
She immediately asked me: "Where? Please tell me quickly and stop being so pretentious, okay? I'm worried to death."
I said: "The key is how to wake her up from hypnosis. This is the most critical thing."
