"No bell?" Ran Feize was surprised. "Fang Ping doesn't look like he's lying, and because of his personality, it's not right to lie and frame others like this."
"I hypnotized him and went back to the time when he found the corpse of the owner of Fangzhuang. He had something to report, so he went to the study to find someone. There were two birds outside the study, and when the two birds were singing happily, he stood there to make fun of them. After a while, the bird said a few words to the bird. Then he knocked on the door and called the owner of Fang, but no one answered. He felt strange, so he pushed the door, the door opened, and he saw Fang at a glance. The corpse of the village master."
"and then?"
"Then Master Fu came back and yelled at me, and I woke Master Fang up." Su Xiaopei sighed, thinking that he was still a little nervous, this environment is really not suitable for hypnosis, it would be bad if she was discovered, but just now The opportunity is too rare. ,
Ran Feize frowned: "He teased the bird and knocked on the door, but no one answered. He felt strange and opened the door. So it's not that he felt strange when he heard the bell? Did someone teach him to tell a lie?"
Su Xiaopei shrugged, she didn't know what was going on. "I didn't have time to ask more."
Ran Feize turned to look in the direction Fang Ping and Fu Yan were leaving. Those two who were standing there looking at them before had walked away into the woods. Thinking of Fang Ping's reaction, he seemed to really feel that he was teaching Su Xiaopei to meditate, so he asked, "He doesn't know what you said about him?"
"I don't know, I'm careful."
Ran Feize glanced at her, Su Xiaopei frowned: "I have my way."
"Then doesn't he know that he doesn't remember a ringtone?"
"If he has doubts about his memory, if he thinks about it carefully, he may notice it."
"Girl." Ran Feize looked at Su Xiaopei and had a question: "Is the girl uncomfortable? Will you feel cold?"
"what?"
"You've been curled up today."
"Oh"
"Oh what do you mean?"
Su Xiaopei stretched out his hand and pulled him down to sit, always talking to him with his head up and his neck getting tired.
Ran Feize sat down with her strength, raised his hand and touched her forehead again.
"I'm fine." That's what she said, but she didn't dare to hold her head up to prove it. Xia Xia's clothes are thin, and Ran Feize's clothes are even thinner and thinner. Seeing that he can show his muscle lines through the clothes, Su Xiaopei feels that the two clothes on his body are not too safe, but fortunately they are wide enough for her.
"How does the girl look?"
"I didn't look at it." She quickly turned her head away with a guilty conscience, and just realized that she was staring at his chest muscles in a daze, and she didn't look at it.
"Huh?" What is she saying? Why do you look like a thief.
"Oh."
"Oh what do you mean?"
Su Xiaopei's face was a little embarrassed, "Are you asking me what I think about the hero of the other party?"
"Where else can you see?"
Cough cough, Su Xiaopei cleared his throat: "I tried it, Fang Daxia is a very easy to guide person. He may not lie, he thinks he is telling the truth."
"Guide? That means someone changed his memory? What's that?"
"It's not a big deal. In fact, everyone can, just do it naturally at the right time, and you can succeed."
"Everyone does?" Ran Feize didn't believe it, he smiled: "If someone wants to convince me that I haven't seen the girl, I don't know it, I won't succeed."
Su Xiaopei was stunned for a moment, her heart suddenly tightened, she smiled, and quickly said: "This is not a good example of what the strong man said. But the strong man must have experienced this kind of thing. Is the door locked? Sometimes, the strong man will wonder if he has locked the door, and he will be relieved to go back and check."
"Yeah." Ran Feize nodded seriously: "I have been born for so many years, and no one has come to ask me if I locked the door."
"I'm giving an example, an example." Su Xiaopei saw his smiling eyes and knew that he did it on purpose.
Ran Feize laughed, he really did it on purpose, and it was funny to see Su Xiaopei's frowning expression.
Su Xiaopei gave him a white look and added, "I can help Fang Daxia confirm his memory, but only if he trusts me and my method."
This is somewhat difficult. Ran Feize looked at the edge of the forest, where Fu Yan and Fang Ping came back, holding some firewood branches in their hands. They also glanced at Ran Feize, the expression Su Xiaopei saw in his eyes, and sighed: "Strong man, how annoying are you?" She and Ran Feize were in the same group, and the other party was wary of Ran Feize, so naturally Watch out for her.
"My ability to dislike people is as strong as my ability to please people." Ran Feize was serious and serious.
Su Xiaopei couldn't help laughing, this kind of look is disgusting, it makes people want to touch = touch = his head says don't make trouble.
In the blink of an eye, seeing Fang Ping glanced this way again, Su Xiaopei smiled and thought seriously.
"Isn't the girl still using the method just now? It's like letting the daughter-in-law find something when you were in the yamen, let Fang Ping tell you exactly what he saw at that time, so he knew that he didn't hear the sound, and then Then ask who guided him, let him feel that it is enough to hear the voice and confirm that it is Taoist Jiuling. The matter can be re-checked."
Su Xiaopei shook his head: "When I was in the yamen, that daughter-in-law trusted me wholeheartedly, and she expected the government to help her decide, so I was okay with her, and I was just looking for the lost thing, and I was convinced when I found it. If he didn't trust me, he wouldn't believe the result. He must be more willing to trust his own memory. Just now, Hero Fu called me a demon girl. If he didn't handle it properly, they would think that it was me who confuses me with sorcery. If you get Fang Daxia, it will be bad. Not only can you not solve the problem, but even if you find any clues later, the authenticity will be questioned."
Ran Feize was silent, which was indeed justified.
"Only let Hero Fang believe it himself."
Ran Feize put his legs on his legs, put his elbows on his legs, rested his chin in his hands, turned his head and looked at Su Xiaopei up and down: "What a pity."
Su Xiaopei looked at him and then at himself. The credibility score of himself and him is low enough, and now the clothes are messy and dirty, it is really not an image that people can trust. Alas, she sighed: "I really want to take a bath."
"When you get out of the mountain and come back to the house, I will burn two buckets of water for the girl. I have a lot of fragrant bath cream."
Su Xiaopei was shocked, "What kind of scent does it have?"
So the two of them started chatting about the types of bath creams, and they didn't think about how to switch from the topic of solving mystery cases to bathing in an instant.
This night, the team of Chen Xiaoshan and Xiao Qi have not returned, but from the position of the pods, they are very close to Liu Yanxiang's group, and everyone is safe. This reassured the team of Cao Hedong and Ran Feize a little. They made several more fires, and everyone sat in circles to ensure the safety of the night's rest.
After eating a bunch of barbecue again, everyone was a little lazy, and the atmosphere looked good. Su Xiaopei asked, Chen Xiaoshan's two groups would be able to return here to meet before nightfall tomorrow as soon as possible. Su Xiaopei felt that she didn't have much time left. When those people came back, her tricks would be even more difficult to use. After she left the mountain, she probably wouldn't have a chance to see Fang Ping.
Su Xiaopei looked around and started chatting with Ji Jiawen.
Ran Feize glanced at her several times, looking dissatisfied. Su Xiaopei also turned his back, talking to him was ineffective, as soon as he opened his mouth, he drew other people's eyes and stabbed with knives, or Ji Jiawen, who was obedient, he listened carefully, and would give timely responses, curiosity and surprise He also looks like a normal person, not like Ran Feize, who can't be scared of anything.
Su Xiaopei told some anecdotes about the case, and guided Ji Jiawen to also tell the anecdotes he had heard of in the arena, which aroused the participation of other people, because Ji Jiawen knew too little, and others couldn't help but help him. . Ran Feize also wanted to interrupt, but was stopped by Su Xiaopei's timely and euphemistic change of the subject. When Mr. Strong speaks, he is either cold or arguing, so keep your mouth shut and be safe.
Ran Feize touched = touched her nose and showed her aggrieved expression. Su Xiaopei smiled at him, winked to reassure him, and then turned back to everyone's topic. Ran Feize really shut up, he stretched his legs, propped his chin, and looked at her blatantly and generously.
Su Xiaopei finally got a chance to talk about it, saying that her father once taught her a game, put a stone in her hand, and she could guess which hand it was hidden in. Ji Jiawen asked curiously how to guess, and Su Xiaopei took the opportunity to say that he would know if he tried it. Everyone was hooked and curious, Ji Jiawen picked up a small stone with great interest, Su Xiaopei said to him: "You can hide it by yourself, you can do it with your left and right hands, don't let the big guys see it, all of us can guess it. ."
Everyone? Ji Jiawen looked around and felt a little unconvinced. He ran a little farther and turned his back to everyone, turning his left and right hands. Finally, he clenched his fists, looked carefully, and could not see any flaws. Then he came back happily with his hands behind his back.
Su Xiaopei whispered to everyone over there, and everyone nodded. They laughed when they saw Ji Jiawen coming back.
"Is it hidden?"
"All right."
"Which hand?"
"I won't tell you." The big guy laughed again.
"Okay, Master Ji, please straighten both hands." Su Xiaopei said with a smile.
Ji Jiawen stretched out his hands. "It's about to straighten up, be careful to hide it so that we don't see the stone." Su Xiaopei said. Ji Jiawen stretched out his hand according to the words, a little nervous.
"I seem to have seen some." Su Xiaopei said.
"I don't believe it." Ji Jiawen was very careful, his arms were stretched straight, and he held the stone well.
Su Xiaopei smiled: "It's the left hand." The others laughed too.
Ji Jiawen lost his face and shouted, "How do you know?"
Fang Ping said from the side: "As soon as Miss Su reminded you to hide it from us, you glanced at the left hand. She said she saw it. If you don't believe it, you glanced at the left hand again."
Ji Jiawen was surprised: "Do I have it?"
Everyone nodded together.
Ji Jiawen is young after all, and some children have a temperament, and the more they think about it, the more dissatisfied they become. "I'll try again. This time, I'll close my eyes." This way, I can't help but look at which hand.
"Okay." Su Xiaopei smiled. Everyone is curious again, just now she said that as long as you hint, people will not be able to control looking at the place where things are hidden. This is indeed the case, but when she closes her eyes, how can she decide
Ji Jiawen rushed to the hidden stone in the woods next to him, where his left hand was changed to his right and his right was changed to his left. Ran Feize couldn't hold back and asked, "He closed his eyes, where should we stare at him?"
"Just stare at his hand."
Just after he finished speaking, Ji Jiawen came back with a bang, he was a little excited, put his hands behind his back, and asked, "Is it still stretched out like that?"
"right."
Ji Jiawen carefully closed his eyes first, then stretched out his hands, fist to fist, flushed, and then slightly separated. Seeing him being so careful, everyone couldn't help but laugh. Ji Jiawen was a little nervous when he heard the laughter, and quickly reminded himself not to move, his head and hands were still, and his eyes could not be opened.
For a long time, the big guys didn't move, and no one spoke. Ji Jiawen couldn't help but ask: "How is it? Did you guess?"
"Master Ji, you have to concentrate."
"What?"
"Concentrate, do you feel the stone in your hand?"
"It's natural." He must have been deceived again. This time he was prepared, he wouldn't look at it, and he wouldn't move anywhere.
"Is the stone big?"
"It's not big." He picked a small one, so it was easy to hide
"Is it heavy?"
"not heavy."
"And what if it gets heavy? Think about it, can you imagine it? It gets heavier and heavier. It's like, instead of holding a stone, it becomes a big basket The stone, very heavy, very heavy, is pulling your hand down, and the more you pull down, the more you can't carry it. Can you imagine it?"
Ji Jiawen couldn't help but follow Su Xiaopei's description. Of course he could imagine that he knew what it felt like to be heavy, but what was the use of saying it? What does it have to do with guessing where the stone is in his hand? While wondering, I heard Cao Hedong's voice: "It's the left hand again."
Luo Hua also smiled and said, "Why is it the left hand again?"
Huh? Ji Jiawen suddenly opened his eyes, and he saw that his left hand was hanging lower than his right hand, the distance was not big, but it was still quite obvious, as if his hand was really pulled down. He obviously didn't move. Ji Jiawen looked at his hand in surprise.
Su Xiaopei smiled: "Most people do this. When you think about something, your..." Su Xiaopei avoided the word subconscious, "In your heart, the hidden feelings will control your body. It's like when you're happy, you deliberately want to keep your face straight, but you still can't help laughing. When you're sad, you want to pretend to be happy, but your expression will still show sadness. Some people try hard when they lie. Cover up, but it will still be seen that he has a guilty conscience."
What Su Xiaopei said was simple and simple, and everyone could understand what he said. Ran Feize quietly looked around at everyone, but Su Xiaopei seemed to ignore the others at all, as if he was quite devoted to playing with Ji Jiawen. Ji Jiawen said: "What the girl said is quite reasonable."
"That's what my father taught me. He will be able to watch his face, catch a lot of criminals, and solve the grievances of many people."
Ji Jiawen nodded, "I thought my hand didn't move, and I was still telling myself in my heart not to move and not to reveal any flaws."
Su Xiaopei laughed and said cheerfully, "I'll play another fun game with you."
"Okay." Ji Jiawen was aroused and curious about Su Xiaopei's trick. Su Xiaopei took a stone and drew a "ten" on the mud, with a "yes" on the vertical and a "no" on the horizontal. Then she drew on the "cross". a circle.
Everyone was curious and gathered around to see.
"Okay." Su Xiaopei finished painting and threw the stone away. Then she asked Ran Feize for a thin thread to thread the needle. This man is very careful and always carries a sewing kit with him, so she is lucky to be able to wear the socks and pants he changed every time. Ran Feize turned the thread for her and threaded the needle. Su Xiaopei tied the knot and let the needle hang below. She took the thread on top and handed it to Ji Jiawen.
"You hold it, without moving your hands and arms, and let the needle hang at the center point of that pattern and let it stand still."
Ji Jiawen did as he did.
Su Xiaopei added: "You can ask yourself a question, and the answer can be answered with yes or no. Keep your hands and arms still, don't let the thread and needle move, just think about that question in your mind."
"It's simple." Ji Jiawen smiled, it's easier for people who practice martial arts to keep still.
"Is it okay to ask anything?" he asked again.
"right."
"Then ask if my hometown is Hulu Village." Ji Jiawen said aloud, and everyone held their breaths and followed him to stare at the thread and needle.
The thread didn't move, the needle didn't move, Ji Jiawen waited a little anxiously, and asked again loudly: "Is my hometown Hulu Village?" Not long after the voice fell, the needle suddenly swayed, swaying back and forth, getting bigger and bigger. Along the "yes" vertical line.
Ji Jiawen opened his mouth wide and shouted, "Ah, ah, it moved by itself, my hand didn't move, I really didn't move, it moved by itself."
"It's you who moved, but you don't know it, just like you just dropped your hands and arms, you don't know it. You know the answer in your heart, so you point it out. Some things you can't remember are actually hidden in your heart. Inside, using this method can help you find clues." Su Xiaopei laughed, "Everyone is the same, has this ability, but the speed of reaction is different, so how long the hanging object can move is not necessarily.",
Ji Jiawen looked at the "ten" and circled it, and thought it was very mysterious. "This is as powerful as the Qimen formation."
Su Xiaopei nodded: "My father said that he used this method to test out some people's panic. A liar tells the truth, but he knows the truth in his heart, and his body is under the control of his heart. Move the needle and thread, and point it out. The human heart is honest."
Ji Jiawen was convinced and nodded. Su Xiaopei added: "Some people are ignorant and slander this method as witchcraft, but it's not at all. Some people use this method to deceive people, falsely claiming that they have supernatural powers, that they can calculate fate and predict things, but it's not true. The answer to yes or no is known by the person holding the needle and thread. Some answers may not be noticed or have been forgotten, but something hidden deep in your heart will control your body and let the needle and thread indicate it. As Ji Daxia said, this is as mysterious as the Qimen formation. I heard that there are still people who can't remember where they put their things, so they found it with this method."
Ran Feize laughed aside, it's really amazing, who would dare to say that this is a sorcery when he talks about this in front of everyone? And first used the guessing stone to confirm that the hand will move out of his control, and then explain the movement of the needle and thread, which is quite reasonable and convincing.
Sure enough, Ji Jiawen and several others said, "The girl is right."
"But will this be inaccurate? Can you answer correctly every time?" Cao Hedong questioned.
"Then try again." Ran Feize immediately joined in the fun, "Has brother Ji married a daughter-in-law, please answer quickly."
"No." Ji Jiawen blushed, but he carried the needle and thread very cooperatively, and soon the needle and thread began to move, swaying sideways, in the direction of "No".
"What is this circle for? What does it mean?"
"Indicates doubt and uncertainty deep within you."
"I, I'll try another one." Ji Jiawen finished speaking, and stared at the needle and thread again. After a while, the needle and thread moved, and swayed along the answer of "yes" back and forth.
"What are you asking?" Ran Feize was curious.
Ji Jiawen pursed his lips, "Don't say it."
"Yo, that's kind of a mystery. That's the answer, right?"
Ji Jiawen nodded and saluted Su Xiaopei: "Thank you for the guidance."
Su Xiaopei smiled and waved his hand quickly: "You're welcome, you're welcome."
Luo Hua came over and took the needle and thread, "I'll try it too." Everyone followed him to look at the "ten" pattern. Ran Feize smiled and looked at Fang Ping and Fu Yan casually. Stare quite seriously. Fang Ping was not only serious, but also very serious, while Fu Yan quickly raised his head and glanced at Su Xiaopei. Ran Feize lowered his eyes, feeling that Fu Yan's eyes also swept over him, and then turned away.
Everyone was very excited that night, tried a lot of questions, and played for a while before going to sleep. Su Xiaopei slept on the knife box as usual, the ground was wet and cold, and Ran Feize wouldn't let her lie down. Everyone else is back to back, or the felt cloth is spread on the ground, and they are together in twos, this is to prevent the attack of beasts or other dangers at night. Ran Feize also had felt cloth, and he slept beside the knife box with his back against the box. Sitting is faster than lying down, and jumping up is faster. He said that, Su Xiaopei let him go, but she thought it would be very hard to sit. But she didn't sleep so well. He also helped her while sitting. She felt that it was because she couldn't sleep well that she rolled around on his lap every time. go up on the ground.
Su Xiaopei fell asleep quickly, Ran Feize heard her breathing, turned around, put his arm on the box, and looked at her face. It's really dirty, a girl who loves cleanliness like her, it's been really hard for her these days. Suddenly I heard a movement in the distance, I looked up, Fang Ping stood up, and Ran Feize remained motionless, as if asleep. Fang Ping turned his head to look at everyone. Seeing that no one was paying attention, he quietly entered the woods.
Ran Feize flicked his hand a little, Su Xiaopei frowned, muttered twice, rolled over to him, moved a little, leaned against him next to the box. Ran Feize grinned quietly, it was funny when he fell asleep. Su Xiaopei didn't seem to be sleeping well, so he moved again, this time he almost rolled out of the box, Ran Feize hurriedly squeezed over to block her, pushed her in, and accidentally touched her chest, he was stunned, looked down, She blushed suddenly, and understood what was going on with her curled up all day.
Ran Feize turned his head to look at the man lying on the ground, scolded a hundred thousand words of swearing in his heart, and then quickly calculated what clothes he had and how many more clothes he should put on her. But after counting, I didn't have much. I originally brought one piece of socks for her, and two pieces were put on her body, and I still had one piece on myself. Ran Feize felt uneasy in his heart, and he had packed a large bag of clothes when he knew it.
At this time, there was movement in the distance, and Ran Feize quietly watched, it was Fu Yan. He also got up and went in the direction Fang Ping left.
Fu Yan knew that Fang Ping got up, he thought he was going to be convenient, but he didn't see him coming back after waiting for a while, so he decided to go and see. He walked into the woods and saw Fang Ping squatting, holding needles and threads in his hands, the needles were hanging and swaying from side to side.
"Uncle Fang." Fu Yan called out.
Fang Ping turned around with a solemn expression on his face.
"Uncle Fang, what happened?"
"No problem. I remember that the magic needle method that Miss Su said is interesting, so I will try it."
"Well." Fu Yan approached, saw the "ten" pattern on the mud, and asked, "What question did Uncle Fang ask?"
Fang Ping didn't speak. After he taught Su Xiaopei to meditate in the afternoon, he always felt that something was wrong. He seemed to think he didn't hear the bell when he knocked on the door, but he clearly heard it. Just now he asked about the magic needle many times, but the answer of the magic needle was no. He asked other questions, and the answers were all correct. Why was this one question wrong
"What question did Uncle Fang ask?" Fu Yan felt that Fang Ping's expression was wrong, and he asked again carefully.
"It's nothing, it's just irrelevant." Fang Ping finally replied, "Go back to rest." After he finished speaking, he led the way towards the camp.
Fu Yan looked down at the cross pattern, then turned to look at Fang Ping's back, he wiped the pattern with his feet, and went back behind Fang Ping.
The author has something to say: The contents of the guessing hand and the pendulum (needle and thread) used in this chapter are based on the book "Mind Reading" by Henrik Feixus (Sweden).
The subconscious answer is the pendulum, which magnifies subtle, imperceptible hand movements and uncontrolled muscle movements. Psychologist William B. Carpenter put forward the concept of "ideological movement" in 1952.
