At this time, Qu Ming and Qiu Yelin, with five police officers, were already standing in the shelter under the tree ten meters away from the psychotherapy room.
The building in front of you is a few white buildings connected together.
This place was rented by an educational institution, specially renovated, and held psychological counseling and family counseling classes for a period of time. At that time, An Yuci was a psychologist who was invited to do counseling. Later, due to various reasons, the class was closed, and they hid here.
The lights were on in the three-story building closest to them, apparently someone was inside.
Qiu Yelin asked his subordinate police officer, "Are you sure this is the place?"
"It's confirmed, and I also notified the army team that he is rushing over."
An impatient police officer said, "Don't wait, Team Qiu, there are seven of us here, let's go and arrest them first."
When Qu Ming heard it, he hurriedly stopped: "The army team is already on the way, let's wait for him to come and discuss this matter together."
The impatient police officer pointed to the three-story building in front of him: "It's just such a big place, a psychologist, a few depressed patients, how long does it take to get ink blots? If you arrest someone early, you can sleep well when you go back."
His words were immediately echoed by the other players.
Qu Ming stopped him and said, "That's the serial killer we've been chasing for more than half a month! It's been nearly two years since we committed a crime in China. It's not that simple. Don't underestimate the enemy."
Qiu Yelin came out to smooth things out: "Okay, okay, the children are also eager to make contributions. Knowing that you can find the murderer and your serious crime team worked hard, can't we let the criminal investigators have a drink of soup?"
Then Qiu Yelin turned his head to look at Qu Ming. Qu Ming was considered to be his same period. Now, although the salary of the two is about the same, the level is half a grade. He patted Qu Ming on the shoulder: "I'm not talking about you, old man. Qu, look we entered the general bureau at the same time. I have been the captain for many years. Where it should be rushed, it must be rushed. If the person is caught by our team, this is not a merit. piece?"
Hearing this, Qu Ming sighed in his heart.
The others at the scene responded in unison. They are all three teams, and they are all young guys with strong blood.
These criminal police officers usually arrest all kinds of men with guns and knives. When facing those murderers, they were not afraid. These patients, in their opinion, were a piece of cake.
Qu Ming said: "Anyway, we have surrounded this place, and the suspects can't escape. If you go in rashly and make mistakes, it will be difficult to handle."
Qiu Yelin then slowed down his words: "Okay, wait, we are waiting for your army to come." He took a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took one himself, and handed it to Qu Ming, "No I said, your army team is too young, and the arrest operations he participated in are more than half of you and me, right? Our two old partners, what else could be wrong?"
Qu Ming waved his hand and refused his cigarette: "Lao Qiu, you should smoke less."
At this moment, a woman's scream suddenly cut through the night sky.
"Help!"
At the same time, the glass on the second floor of the building was shattered with a clatter, and a bloody hand stretched out from it, which wriggled twice.
"Help, help me..." The woman's voice was still shouting, and it sounded very clear.
Then the hand seemed to be pulled by someone and disappeared from the window.
This time, the few people standing downstairs were stunned.
"There are hostages! Save the people!" Qiu Yelin saw this scene, and he didn't care about anything else, he threw the cigarette on the ground and stepped on it, turned his head and started to arrange, "You two, enter through the back door, the others, follow I broke through the front door."
"Have you seen that woman? Be careful it's a trap..." Qu Ming exclaimed, "Alas... Did you leave someone outside to support you?"
"If you wait any longer, you may miss the opportunity for rescue. When the backup arrives, it will be too late." Qiu Yelin was furious, "Old Qu, I think you are quite suitable to support, you can either follow us, or just wait here, Others, come with me."
This sentence put Qu Ming on the grill, so he could only draw the gun in his hand. He sent a message to Lu Junchi, and then hurriedly followed.
With a bang, the front door was kicked open, and several people walked into the building, which was very empty.
The hall in front of everyone is about 400 square meters, empty, and there is no one person.
The hall has a height of more than ten meters. From the top of the high ceiling, there are more than a dozen white spheres hanging, shimmering with light, shaking gently like a pendulum.
As soon as he entered, Qu Ming smelled a very fragrant smell, like burning incense, or some kind of spice.
Someone broke into the back door soon, and seven police officers quickly searched the entire first floor.
"Team Qiu, there's no one here!"
"I'm not here either, be safe!"
Then the strange life-saving sound never sounded again, as if that scene was just their hallucination, and the surroundings were extremely quiet, with only their footsteps and breathing.
Qiu Yelin looked at the balls in the middle that were shaking regularly, and didn't dare to be careless: "Everyone, follow the previous team, find the stairs and go upstairs, it's important to save people!"
The crowd dispersed immediately, Qu Ming holding the gun, followed Qiu Yelin, and walked upstairs along a long staircase. He thought the place was indescribably weird, and much bigger than it looked from the outside.
Suddenly, he heard a burst of soothing music. He didn't know who turned on the radio horn here. Accompanied by the melody of the music, a voice remembered: "Relax, everyone don't need to be so nervous, inhale hard, and then slowly, Exhale little by little..."
"Fuck, why does yoga teaching sound here?" Several police officers were originally very nervous, but when they heard this, they couldn't help but complain.
"Those people wouldn't be so capable, would they want to influence us?"
"Psychiatrist, maybe he wants to hypnotize us all."
"Hypnosis? That's deceiving children."
"...There are endless mysterious powers around you, and with your breathing, those powers enter your body. Your body begins to lighten, and all your stress is gone..." The man's voice continued.
"Don't listen to that recording, everyone quickly find the suspects and hostages." Qiu Yelin shouted.
Hearing this, Qu Ming let out a long breath. Then he found something that was a little terrifying. He was unconsciously adjusting his breathing according to the method stated in the recording.
"Breathe... Put your eyes on the pendulum on the top floor..." The person standing on the stairs raised his head unconsciously, and the pendulum-like ball hanging from the high top was still swinging.
"Damn, who can turn off the music?! It's annoying!"
"What is that dangling thing, I can still see it with my eyes closed."
"Persistence of vision?"
"It's okay, firm will, if you don't cooperate with hypnosis, you won't be able to hypnotize at all."
Among the group, only Qu Ming realized that something was wrong: "This is not a recording! This is group hypnosis! Don't look at those things, don't listen to his guidance!" He spoke quickly on the walkie-talkie. They underestimate the enemy, these people, including him, don't know much about hypnosis...
People despise things they don't understand, but the phenomenon of hypnosis is more complicated and profound than they know.
The voice continued: "...All the outside voices, all kinds of will resistance, will only make you more and more focused on what I say."
This sentence resisted all their struggles.
"...it's cold now, your body is almost frozen. The weapon in your hand is heavy. Your fingers are attached to the gun, and your hand is so heavy...so heavy that you can't lift your shoulders stand up."
Qu Ming has tried his best not to listen to those words. He felt that he was sane and uncontrolled, but then he suddenly discovered a terrible thing, and his hand holding the gun lowered a little...
The source of the sound must be found as soon as possible!
They walked forward in the sound, and a corridor full of mirrors appeared in front of everyone.
It was like a labyrinth in front of me, surrounded by reflective mirrors, and only when I looked up, I could see the swaying spheres outside.
"... use your extraordinary imagination... it gets more and more sinking... your body is stiff, your steps are getting heavier and heavier, you can't move your feet... your feet are connected to quicksand, and every step you take, you sink in, sink into It's getting deeper and deeper... you can't move..."
"Old Qiu, this place is not right, let's get out first!" Qu Ming covered his ears with one hand as he spoke, trying not to be disturbed by those voices.
Qiu Yelin didn't answer him, and then Qu Ming discovered that Qiu Yelin, who was in front of him just now, turned a corner and disappeared into the mirror.
"Put down the weapon in your hand, you are safe now, resistance is the danger. Don't rebel against your consciousness."
"Your eyelids are very heavy, very heavy, your memory is blurred..."
"Close your eyes..."
"There's sand all around you, it's a desert, and you get caught in the middle, and your body becomes that sand."
Qu Ming felt that his eyelids began to sink, and he had to work hard to open them, and he found that his steps began to slow down.
Why, why is this happening
He didn't meet each other at all, just hearing those music and words had an impact on him.
As long as he closed his eyes, he seemed to see those huge pendulums constantly shaking.
I want to fall asleep, I'm about to lose consciousness...
He shook his head, trying to drive the illusion out of his mind.
"You can't move at all, you're totally relaxed, you're going to fall asleep..."
"Now, you are alone, and you are alone..."
"Don't fight, don't struggle... Relax..."
Suddenly, Qu Ming realized that there was no one around him.
The police channel, which had been talking, fell silent. He could only hear some shallow breathing.
"Fuck, wake up!" Qu Ming roared, this scene sounded extremely strange and terrifying to him.
A mirror in front of him suddenly turned around, and a black shadow rushed behind him, hitting the back of his head with a wooden stick in his hand with a bang.
Qu Ming's eyes turned black and fell into darkness.
"Three...two...one..."
Accompanied by three numbers, the answer to him was silence, boundless silence... The group of people just now seemed to be engulfed by this strange building.
On the third floor of the building, footsteps sounded in the empty room. Several people walked into the broadcasting room. They looked at An Yuci, who was sitting in front of the surveillance camera: "Doctor An, those people have been caught."
They placed the cellphones and weapons they had taken from the officers on the table.
"Thank you. Tie them up and put them in the spa room, and then you can go." An Yuci adjusted her glasses and turned to look at the few people in front of them. There were men and women among them.
Some of these people were not involved in the serial murders, just his patients, so the police haven't found them yet.
It is enough that they are willing to believe in him and help him at such a time.
The patients gradually left, and An Yuci took a gun and carried it with him.
Then he walked into the spa room, opened his phone with Qu Ming's fingerprint, then exited, locked the door, threw away the key, and pressed the key to open the water flow.
An Yuci turned around and saw a familiar person, Luo Wei. He had been hiding here when the police started calling.
"Doctor An, I'm willing to follow you." Luo Wei didn't leave with the others just now.
An Yu said: "Then stay. You help me to look after the entrance of the spa room upstairs, and don't let other people in."
He raised his head and watched the water level in the spa gradually rise, as if he was enjoying some gorgeous scenery.
An Yuci filmed this scene with his mobile phone, and then rummaged through Qu Ming's address book to find the number inside...
Huadu, the whole world fell into a dark night.
Su Hui frowned thoughtfully and looked out of the car window, there seemed to be beasts dormant in the darkness.
Lu Junchi's car had already reached the outside of the building, and he quickly braked.
The white building door in front of him was open, and there was soft light inside, and it was quiet.
It has been ten minutes since those people entered, but both the intercom and the mobile phone have been completely silent.
It can be predicted that the entire team is likely to have encountered accidents.
Lu Junchi gave up contact and sent a request for support. But no matter how fast the supporters are, it will take a certain amount of time.
Qiao Ze also heard Qu Ming's message just now and said, "They underestimate the enemy. These people don't understand what hypnosis is."
Lu Junchi frowned, "Could it be that An Yuci is a hypnotist?"
Su Hui retracted his gaze from the window: "Master can't say, but he definitely mastered some hypnosis skills. Sometimes group hypnosis will affect each other, but it is easier than single hypnosis."
He further explained: "Hypnosis is a kind of induction, a strong suggestion, it does not necessarily require the hypnotist to meet them face to face, the environment in which the hypnosis is placed is very important, a quiet environment, objects that move regularly, people hear the induction The voice, even some touch and caress, may make people fall into a hypnotic state."
Lu Junchi still felt a little incredible: "But there are seven people in the whole team, is there not one who can resist?"
Su Hui said simply: "I don't think they lost contact because they were hypnotized, and they may have been attacked. During the first stage of hypnosis, the hypnotized person didn't think he was being hypnotized, but he had already entered a hypnotic state. Their muscle groups may begin to be controlled by speech, and there may be an eyelid gluing reaction. At this time, their responses will become sluggish and they are more easily subdued."
The more consciousness struggles, the more counterproductive it becomes. Unless the hypnotic environment is immediately removed, this hypnotic state will continue to deepen, making them sluggish and trapped...
When the three of them said this, Lu Junchi's cell phone suddenly rang, he looked down to see that it was Qu Ming, Lu Junchi frowned and answered the phone, An Yuci's voice came from inside: "Captain Lu, we meet again. ."
Lu Jun said lately, "An Yuci, what did you do to those police officers?"
An Yuci looked at him: "They are still alive now. Besides, they invaded my territory."
Lu Junchi: "If you broke the law, you should face punishment."
An Yuci's voice sounded gentle, harmless to humans and animals, "Maroon, I didn't do much to your colleagues, I just put them into a hypnotic state and locked them in the spa room. You can wait for rescue here, But whether they can last that long, I don't know."
The conversation got hung up here.
Afterwards, Lu Junchi's mobile phone moved, and a video was sent to him from Qu Ming's account.
It was a spa room full of glass. Several police officers were bound by their hands and feet and sat beside the glass curtain wall. At this time, water was continuously poured into it, and the depth was close to their chests.
Lu Jun hesitated for a while, this was obviously another trap, there were only three of them here.
The door to the building was wide open, as if to invite them in.
There is definitely deceit in it, but now Lu Junchi feels that he has reached the tightrope, and it is difficult to make a choice.
What is this person trying to do? Kill a cop? procrastinating? It doesn't seem to be the case.
Su Hui patted him on the shoulder behind him and said, "An Yuci shouldn't lie, it's important to save people. If you want to enter, don't stare at moving objects, and don't focus on small things."
Qiao Ze quickly inquired on the computer: "I called up the topographic map here. The main body of the spa room is on the first floor, and the control room is on the second floor. There is a shortcut to get there."
Looking at the gradually rising water level, Lu Jun made a late decision: "Qiao Ze, let's go save people first. Mr. Su, stay in the car and don't get out of the car."
Lu Junchi and Qiao Ze got out of the car. He finally looked back at Su Hui, who nodded at him.
The two police officers took out their guns and walked into the white building.
The building is very empty, not a single person can be seen, and the sound of rushing water can be heard from a distance.
Qiao Ze led the way and soon came to the entrance of the spa room, and a huge spa room appeared in front of them.
It was a square glass room, sealed around it, about ten square meters in size. It looks like a huge fish tank commonly found in aquariums, and it looks like a transparent swimming pool.
This is a high-end spa that has been popular for a while in the past few years. The purpose is to allow patients to be completely immersed in the amniotic fluid like a baby, closer to the natural state.
But now, An Yuci has turned this place into a water prison that can kill people.
Several police officers were sitting slantingly in the spa room, leaning against the glass wall, their heads bowed, and their hands bound.
The colorless water had already started pouring in, the water level was gradually rising, and it was already close to the neck, but those few people seemed to have no sense of it at all, and were completely unconscious.
"Old song! Team Qiu?!" Lu Jun called out late, but the people inside didn't respond at all.
Lu Junchi walked around the glass room, the room was sealed, and the water poured in like a waterfall from the top.
Qiao Ze tried to find various exits, and he saw a keyhole above: "There is a keyhole here, but it can't be opened without a key."
Lu Junchi pulled the trigger and shot at a blank glass beside him. The glass was hard and unmoved. He shot another shot at the keyhole, and the bullet flew out. The device was obviously very strong.
Qiao Ze said on the side: "Army, according to the flow rate, we still have about five minutes."
The sound of water in my ears was still clattering, and the water line was rising every second.
Lu Jun took a deep breath and looked at the glass house in front of him...
Outside the psychotherapy center, in the dark parking lot, a figure walked to the parked police car.
Su Hui raised his head from the car, as if he was not surprised by An Yuci's appearance.
"Now, the troublesome people are gone." An Yuci said with a smile, the glass of the car was not completely soundproof, so he passed his words in.
An Yuci held a gun in his hand. He pulled the trigger, and the rear glass of the car shattered. He reached out from the broken glass and opened the door. This time, the sound was much clearer.
"Captain Lu should have told you not to go out." An Yuci smiled and looked at Su Hui, who was sitting beside him, and made a gesture of "please," "However, now the situation forces you, Mr. Su, you should go to my place and sit for a while. I will."
Su Hui didn't say much, and followed An Yu's resignation and got out of the car.
An Yuci did not go through the main entrance, but led Su Hui into the building through a side door and came to a small room.
This is a white room with simple furnishings, only two sofas and a small coffee table. Both the sofa and the coffee table are white, and the lamps on the top reflect orange-yellow lights.
The whole room looked clean and warm, and it was quiet, especially quiet.
It was as if the whole world was cut off by walls and doors.
This is a perfect psychotherapy room. Su Hui didn't know what material the walls were made of. He couldn't even hear the sound of Lu Junchi and Qiao Ze, or the sound of water.
An Yuci gestured at Su Hui with the gun in his hand, and then motioned: "Mr. Su, don't see outside, sit down." The smile on his face made him look like a hospitable host.
Su Hui looked at An Yuci in front of him. He didn't have a gun, and he didn't carry any weapons. In other words, a gun was useless for his vision at all.
He sat on the sofa according to the words and looked at An Yuci, there was only a small round coffee table between the two.
An Yuci smiled and said, "Mr. Su is very calm now."
Su replied: "Your purpose is not to kill me. And according to my profile, you are not a person who kills innocent people indiscriminately."
Su Hui knew very well in his heart that he was still very safe.
An Yuci didn't really want to kill people. If he had the intention to kill, then when they came, they would already be able to see corpses all over the place, so there was no need for such trouble.
But every step An Yuci takes has a purpose.
"I was a little worried that you would not come, but when I saw you, I felt relieved." An Yuci said, took out a small hourglass, turned it upside down and put it aside, which is commonly used by psychotherapists The timing tool, such a small hourglass, is exactly ten minutes.
The sight before me was like the beginning of a psychotherapy.
An Yuci continued: "Mr. Su, I heard people say that Huadu has a very good psychological profiler. I was specially transferred to Yang Yuqing's clinic to actively receive the police officers who were diagnosed and treated. The first time I saw you at the clinic that day, I kept wondering if that person was you."
Su Hui asked, "Who did you listen to?"
An Yuci replied with a light smile: "That person told me that when you haven't met him, you can't confirm who he is, but when you see him and talk to him, you'll immediately be sure that what you want to find. It's him. Should I call you Consultant Su, or should I call you a poet?"
An Yuci's attitude at this time reminded Su of what Tan Yongchen said to him when he was seriously injured, and he became more and more sure that someone was contacting these serial killers.
And that person may be old acquaintances with him, but undoubtedly, they are reluctant to reveal the information to him behind the scenes.
An Yuci looked at him and said, "I have always been extremely careful when making the entire layout. The clues in it are broken in the logical reasoning of ordinary people, and there is no substantive evidence. Even if the police have clues , I feel that the case is suspicious, and it is difficult to connect it. At this time, unless the trajectory of the murderer is inquired through the psychological profile, it is difficult to predict all the murder patterns." He turned his head and said, "In other words, I I think only you, or another profiler, can figure out this puzzle."
