That night, Xiang Wan didn't sleep well.
Human emotions, whether happiness, fear, or pain, will affect the activity of nerve cells in the brain.
It was a mess, she thought about many things, including why she had those strange perceptions...
She thinks that there are about 14 billion to 15 billion brain cells in a normal person, less than 10% of which are developed and utilized, and 95% are in a dormant state, waiting to be developed... Could it be that her brain cells are more open than others, Wider range
This thought excited her.
It was a nightmare to finally fall asleep.
An uncontrollable nightmare, tangled and tangled...
At dawn, she got up with a splitting headache, and just after breakfast, she got the definite news.
The child died.
The woman survived.
This ending is really cruel.
Those who want to die do not die, and those who do not want to die cannot live.
At present, the Lvyuan police station is still investigating the case.
Suicide is not a criminal case. If the woman dies, the case is over. But if the child is dead and she is still alive, the nature is different. Whether it is intentional homicide and whether she should be held criminally responsible depends on the results of further investigation.
The mother committed suicide, she didn't die, but killed her own child with her own hands. This is enough to become a hot topic of discussion among people in this city in their free time.
Fang Yuanyuan said on WeChat that the editorial department was talking about this matter, and everyone felt sorry for that child.
At such a young age, so well-behaved, his life ended like this.
No one gave him a chance to choose. Should he come to this cruel world, or should he stay? His mother never gave him a choice.
Children are also vulnerable groups, they have no choice about their own lives.
Xiang Wan was also very distressed.
But different from the pity of outsiders who simply watched the excitement, she had other views on this matter.
Not a simple suicide! Not just pure suicide.
She also has no evidence for this cognition. But in the few meetings she had with that woman, the woman revealed a strong sense of story, which made her feel strongly that there was a story to dig out...
"Bai Muchuan, I think there are many stories about her. I want to know why she committed suicide with her child, and want to know more details about the case?"
When Xiang Wan called Bai Muchuan, he didn't have enough confidence to say this.
Because she and that woman are just neighbors, other than that, they have no other relationship...
"Mr. Xiang, the story is not an accident. It is not a criminal case."
"I know." Xiang Wan frowned, "But I just... don't feel well. Maybe it's obsessive-compulsive disorder? I don't understand, I can't sleep well. Team Bai, can you help me?" She lowered her voice.
Xiang Wan's voice is nice.
Soft, gentle, like a warm breeze blowing through the ears, it can be said to be a big killer for straight men.
However, Bai Muchuan was obviously immune to hearing it.
"Give me a reason."
"I called the police for that child, and he called my aunt, okay?"
"This reason is not sufficient! It cannot be the reason for me to go to the Luyuan police station to interfere."
"… "This guy.
Xiang Wan slowed down, and suddenly turned serious, "If I say... I feel that her case is related to the case we are currently paying attention to?"
"Huh?" Bai Muchuan had gotten used to her "sudden sensation", and asked calmly, "Be more careful."
"During the 720 case, do you still remember the flowerpot that fell from upstairs?" Xiang Wan analyzed calmly, "I still don't know which window the flowerpot fell from. But when I looked up, I happened to see four There is a figure of a woman upstairs, which is exactly where her home is. Later, I passed by a small alley once, and I heard a woman screaming. Now that I think about it, it should be her... "
"What does this mean?"
"Don't you think these are all coincidences?" Xiang Wan was a little anxious by her calm tone, "Also, when I was kidnapped by Xu Zuming, it was her child who called the police. And at that time she The reaction is not very normal, which aroused my strong curiosity."
"You're so curious!" Bai Muchuan chuckled suddenly, "Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?"
Ah! Xiang Wan couldn't help laughing.
"What can be settled should be mine. It's not my business, and it can't be settled anyway."
"...retarded!"
Bai Muchuan was not soft-spoken when criticizing her, but he did not refuse her request.
After about an hour or so, Xiang Wan washed his hair, and before he had time to dry it, he called back.
"Xiang Wan, you guessed it right again!"
One word after another, the strong shock it brought was no less than an earthquake.
Xiang Wan gripped her phone tightly and let the water drip from her head.
"What's going on? Tell me quickly."
Bai Muchuan said coldly, "Do you want to come to the team? I won't be able to leave now. I don't have time to elaborate."
"it is good!"
…
A strong arousal factor was active in her cerebral cortex, Xiang Wan's heart seemed to be beating fast.
After drying her hair, she tied it in a ponytail casually, and went out with her bag in her hand without any hesitation.
This is completely different from her usual lazy house girl life.
She suddenly found that she had a natural sense of excitement when dealing with the case.
A little scared, a little timid, and unable to bear the attraction, I couldn't help but approach, wanting to know the truth of the matter.
After walking out of the alley, the Didi car she called arrived.
Getting in the car, she said in a deep voice, "Master, hurry up."
The driver glanced at her face from the rearview mirror, but didn't say a word.
During the recent period, Xiang Wan seemed to have become a non-staff consultant of the Hongjiang District Criminal Investigation Brigade.
No one stopped her when she entered. Some familiar people smiled and nodded to her.
"Teacher Xiang, you are really amazing!" Tang Yuanchu smiled when he looked at her, looked up and down, and clicked his tongue: "I wonder if your brain looks different from normal people."
"Shh..." Xiang Wan gestured in horror and lowered his voice, "Don't tell others, I'm actually from Mars."
"Hahaha!" Tang Yuanchu was amused by her, and pointed to the office, "The white team is inside, let's go there together."
The office door was closed.
When they knocked on the door and entered, Bai Muchuan was buried in front of the computer, not knowing what he was doing.
Seeing Xiang Wan, there was no unnecessary expression on his handsome face, nor did he speak, he just motioned for her to sit down.
The atmosphere seems a little tense
Xiang Wan sat on the chair opposite him, inexplicably feeling a little stressed.
"White team, can we talk now?"
Bai Muchuan glanced at Tang Yuanchu, his tone serious as if a storm was about to break out.
"I still have something to do, Tang Yuanchu, you tell her."
Excited by his nervous attitude, Xiang Wan's heart beat again.
"Okay, Team White." Tang Yuanchu's tone also became serious, and Xiang Wan was terrified, and subconsciously turned to look at him.
Tang Yuanchu: "That's right, Mr. Xiang. Originally, this case was classified as a suicide. Because there was no trace of homicide at the scene, Kong Xinqiong, the person involved in the incident, was an ordinary company clerk, with a child, living in a rented house, and the salary was not high. , I don’t usually interact with colleagues and neighbors very much. My child is in the first grade of Luyuan Elementary School, and I’m ten days behind on living expenses this month. Everyone thinks that she is under too much pressure in life, and she can’t think about it for a while... "
So it was a first grade kid
Xiang Wan frowned when he thought of the child calling him auntie.
"and then?"
"The white team listened to your suggestion, asked someone to investigate again, and found an unexpected discovery."
"What discovery?" Xiang Wan asked eagerly.
What she wanted to hear was the final conclusion.
However, Tang Yuanchu sated his appetite and said hesitantly: "The Lvyuan Police Station found a photo in Kong Xinqiong's personal belongings. After verification, the owner of the photo is Tan Ziyang who was in college..."
Kong Xinqiong, Tan Ziyang.
Two strange names, two people who seem to have no intersection, how can there be such a relationship
Xiang Wan suddenly thought of that woman's face.
Cold and numb, like a wandering ghost of a long-dead person floating in the world.
She narrowed her eyes slowly and asked Tang Yuanchu, "Is the child Tan Ziyang's?"
Tang Yuanchu glanced at Bai Muchuan at work, and pondered: "Because Kong Xinqiong's case is not currently on our team. Therefore, we have no way to conduct a more in-depth investigation. However, the Bai team is applying for a merged case..."
Oh
So he was busy with this
Xiang Wan also took a look at Bai Muchuan's sharp-edged face.
It is said that men who are serious about their work are the most charming. When these words fall on Bai Muchuan, the effect is doubled...
He is so handsome that everyone is angry!
Xiang Wan looked away, and asked Tang Yuanchu again: "Has Kong Xinqiong's health improved?"
Unsurprisingly, Tang Yuanchu shook his head again and sighed: "I'm still being treated in the hyperbaric oxygen chamber. The long-term lack of oxygen has caused damage to the nerve cells in her brain. The attending doctor said that there is a high possibility of sequelae..."
Xiang Wan learned something about carbon monoxide poisoning.
There are sequelae, that is to say, even if Kong Xinqiong is not dead, I am afraid that he will not be able to answer the questions they want to know.
"Then does she know that her child is dead?"
"Maybe... I don't know yet."
The death of the child made a young man like Tang Yuanchu feel a little sorry.
"Poor child!"
The strong sense of tragedy caused the office to fall into a brief silence.
Until Bai Muchuan raised his head, put down the mouse and drank water, "It's done!"
Tang Yuanchu was stunned for a moment, his eyes showed surprise, "Has the branch approved it?"
"Approved! You go through the formalities immediately and take over Kong Xinqiong's case. We will have a meeting this afternoon and we will analyze the case!"
"Okay. I'll do it right away." Tang Yuanchu had a hot-tempered personality, and when working under Bai Muchuan's command, he had a military style of prohibiting orders. Without saying a word, he turned around and left.
…
The office is fully air-conditioned.
Xiang Wan didn't bring an air-conditioning shirt when she came out today. She was physically weak, and the air-conditioning made her a little impermeable, so she wrapped her arms lightly.
"White team, is there anything else?"
"Huh?" Bai Muchuan frowned and turned his head, "What?"
"You asked me to come over, besides what Officer Tang said, is there anything else?"
"Oh." Bai Muchuan nodded with a serious expression, "I want you to have lunch together!"
"..."
that's it? Xiang Wan didn't believe it.
Seeing him take it for granted, Xiang Wan frowned.
Of course, Bai Muchuan is not the kind of person who doesn't distinguish between business and private affairs. With so many things going on, how could he ask her to come over for dinner
"It's not time for lunch." Seeing him typing on the computer, she turned her head to take a look, but he just turned around and met her eyes, and Xiang Wan asked a nonsense question in a little embarrassment, "You haven't had breakfast yet, have you?"
"When did I have breakfast?" Bai Muchuan asked quietly. Then, he glanced at her thoughtfully, got up and walked to the row of file cabinets in the office, opened one of the drawers, and put a thick file in it. He took out the bag and threw it in front of Xiang Wan.
"These things. Take a look first."
Book? Test questions
Xiang Wan looked at it inexplicably.
Since she left Zhongzheng, she hasn't done a test for many years.
What is this for? She flipped through the documents, her heart was beating wildly, and her fingers were stiff.
"For me?"
"Is there anyone else here?" Bai Muchuan sat upright on the office chair, with no hint of a joke on his handsome face, "You can take a look when you have time, you can also do these questions."
"...why would I do it?"
Criminal Minds Test!
What does it have to do with her
Xiang Wan didn't understand, so she raised her head and looked at him. In front of her, in Bai Muchuan's faint gaze, there was a deeply hidden emotion, she wanted to catch it, but he cunningly avoided it.
"Don't you want to be a consultant to the Criminal Investigation Team?"
"Yeah. So..." Xiang Wan tapped on the pile of materials in front of him, "Are you giving me a qualification test?"
"I don't count you as an exam." Bai Muchuan said softly: "This is not a formal exam. I once said that if you can do it, there is only one reason, and that is because you are capable. Profiling requires relevant criminal psychology expertise , These will definitely be used, if you don't have professional knowledge, it will be difficult for me to convince the superior."
understood.
Xiang Wan closed the file and suddenly wanted to laugh.
"White team, you know, I'm not a criminal psychology major, I'm a law student... and I haven't graduated yet."
"These are the study materials and test questions that Zhan Se gave you." Bai Muchuan didn't entangle with her on this issue, and pointed to the two books in her file bag, "This. She also prepared it for you. This is the most obvious Entry-level knowledge, if you have the talent in this area, these are not difficult for you. If you can achieve more than 80 points in these test questions, you are considered qualified."
"I… "
Xiang Wan's eyes scanned the questions like a scanner.
Completely unfamiliar knowledge is completely different from the majors she has studied.
"It's not something I know at all." She raised her eyes from the test questions and looked into Bai Muchuan's scrutinizing eyes. "The feeling I told you is just a feeling. It's like our sense of sight, hearing, smell, taste, Like the sense of touch, it is innate. For some things, I have no evidence, just a strong hunch, or a unique perception, we can say it is the sixth sense, or the seventh sense, or my brain developed Not to the same extent as others. But it’s not necessarily true, and it’s not scientifically provable. Do you understand what I’m saying?”
"I don't understand." Bai Muchuan answered very simply.
"..." Xiang Wan was a little bit crazy.
She thought about it for a long time last night, but she didn't want to understand herself, so how could she expect others to understand her
Bai Muchuan poured water for her slowly and put it in front of him, "However, we still have time, you can speak slowly so that I can understand."
"..."
Xiang Wan took a deep breath.
"Are you willing to listen?"
"I would."
He was very serious, looking at her without blinking.
Xiang Wan also looked at him.
In his eyes, there is no ridicule or ridicule, only seriousness.
Xiang Wan was silent for a while, and finally found a relatively easy-to-understand statement, "Let's put it this way, the human body is the most sophisticated instrument in the world. I believe you will not deny this. The mystery of the human body and life, even if it is With the development of science and technology today, it is impossible to fully understand it. Moreover, the human body is a powerful and sophisticated machine, and each one is not the same. Although the parts on each person's body are the same, their functions are completely different."
Bai Muchuan frowned.
She smiled, "Is it difficult to understand? For example, men and women, such as you and me, our body parts are similar in composition, but their functions are completely different. I am more emotional than you, and you are more rational than me. Our personality, The likes, the emotional sensitivities are totally different...these are born, not made."
"No!" The corners of Bai Muchuan's lips curled up, "Our parts are different."
"?" Aren't they all one nose, one mouth, two eyes, two ears, stomach, intestines, liver, spleen and kidney
"I have it, you don't. You have it, I don't. How can we be the same?"
Bai Muchuan's half-smile was not a smile, there seemed to be a glimmer of light in his twinkling black eyes, and there was a hint of narrowness, teasing...
Of course Xiang Wan understood such a hint.
God of Connotation!
She sighed helplessly and glared at him, "I'm serious."
"I'm serious too."
"Okay. Okay. You are serious. We are indeed different, otherwise why are you such a hooligan?" Xiang Wan knew that he did it on purpose, so she didn't argue with him, and then said, "Just like you and Officer Huang, you guys The parts will always be the same, but your human machinery will have completely different effects when it works... ”
"Of course I'm not like him."
"?" Different
"The models are different." Bai Muchuan was serious.
With a puff, Xiang Wan couldn't continue.
She rubbed her forehead, "Should I say you are a hooligan, or should I say you are too serious?"
"I'm very serious, Teacher Xiang." Bai Muchuan's cold and handsome face was expressionless, and he really didn't look like he was playing hooligans.
Then, seeing that Xiang Wan couldn't help laughing, he took the topic seriously instead, "I probably understand what you mean, you mean that everyone has different perceptions, abilities and sensitivities to things. And you, the human body The sixth sense leader among precision instruments can perceive some things that others cannot perceive? Right?"
"That's what it means." Xiang Wan was a little embarrassed by his question, "Then do you think my statement is scientific?"
Bai Muchuan nodded, "It's very scientific. So... as long as you can prove that your instrument is really more precise than others, I can guarantee that there will be no problem with this consultant."
How to prove this
Xiang Wan looked at him in bewilderment.
"How do you want me to prove it?"
"It's very simple!" Bai Muchuan pointed to the test questions in front of her, "You have done all the questions correctly through your sophisticated instrument, and no one dares to have an opinion... Otherwise, people will say, maybe it's just blindness. Cat meets dead mouse."
"..."
After talking about it, it came back again.
She still has to do these questions that are completely irrelevant to her major
Xiang Wan wailed, "Is it necessary?"
"It must be done."
"Then... I don't want to be a consultant anymore."
"It's too late." Bai Muchuan narrowed his eyes, "You have already participated in this game, so you can't quit halfway. Just now, I have submitted the application for hiring you as a consultant. Is it appropriate for you to cross the river and tear down the bridge like this? I I will doubt your intentions and intentions, Teacher Xiang."
"..."
Xiang Wan's heart was broken.
She shook the test that gave her a headache.
"When will this be used?"
"You learn first. After the application is approved, I will evaluate you!"
"Bai Muchuan." Xiang Wan frowned, "I seriously suspect that you are teasing me?"
"Teacher Xiang, my time is precious."
Xiang Wan tightened his strings and gouged him, "So?"
"Let's go!" Bai Muchuan stood up suddenly, "Come with me. I'm busy."
"Where are you going?" Xiang Wan's eyes followed him, and he couldn't help standing up, and then sneezed.
Bai Muchuan turned to look at her, and handed over a piece of paper, "Go to the technical team for a walk!"
ah? Technical team? Xiang Wan's spine felt a chill, and he felt the cold wind blowing through his body.
