Criminal Investigation Notes

At this time, Qu Ming, Qiu Yelin and five police officers had already stood in the hidden place under the tree ten meters away from the psychotherapy room.

The buildings in front of me are several white buildings connected together.

This place was once rented by an educational institution, specially decorated, and held a period of psychological counseling and family counseling classes.An Yuci was a psychological counselor who was invited to do counseling at that time. Later, due to various reasons, the study class was closed, and they hid here.

Lights were on in the three-story building closest to them, and someone was clearly inside.

Qiu Yelin asked the police officer under him: "Are you sure this is here?"

"It's confirmed. I also notified the Lu team. He is rushing over."

An impatient police officer said: "Don't wait, Team Qiu, we have seven people here, go ahead and arrest them."

When Qu Ming heard this, he hurriedly stopped him: "Team Lu is already on his way, let's discuss this matter with him when he comes."

The impatient police officer pointed to the three-story building in front of him: "It's just such a big place, a psychological counselor, and a few depressed patients. How long do you want ink stains? Arrest people early, and you can sleep well when you go back."

His words were immediately echoed by the other team members.

Qu Ming stopped him and said, "That's the serial murderer we've been chasing for more than half a month! The crime in Huadu was close to two years ago, so it's not that simple. Don't underestimate the enemy later."

Qiu Yelin came out to smooth things over: "Okay, okay, the children are also eager to make contributions. You know that you can find the murderer and your serious crime team has worked hard. Why don't you let us have a drink of soup?"

Then Qiu Yelin turned to look at Qu Ming. Qu Ming was considered to be at the same period as him. Although the salary of the two is about the same, the level difference is half a level. He patted Qu Ming on the shoulder: "I didn't mean you, sir. Qu, look at the fact that we entered the General Administration at the same time. I have been the captain for many years. This kind of place that should go up, you have to go up. If the person is caught by our team, it is also a meritorious deed. item?"

Hearing this, Qu Ming let out a heck in his heart.

The others at the scene echoed.They are all from the third team, and they are all young lads, full of vigor.

These criminal police usually arrest all kinds of vicious people with guns and knives.When facing those criminals, they showed no fear, and these patients, in their view, were a piece of cake.

Qu Ming said: "Anyway, we've surrounded the place, and the suspects can't escape. If something goes in rashly, it will be difficult if something goes wrong."

Only then did Qiu Yelin slow down his words: "Okay, okay, wait, we're waiting for your army to come over." He took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took one by himself, and handed it to Qu Ming, "No I said, your Army Corps is too young, and the number of arrests he has participated in is less than half that of yours and mine, right? Our two old partners, what else can we do?"

Qu Ming waved his hand and refused his cigarette: "Old Qiu, please smoke less."

At this moment, a woman's scream suddenly pierced the night sky.

"Help!"

At the same time, the glass on the second floor of the building was shattered with a bang, and a bloody hand stretched out from it, and the hand struggled 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 into the window.

At this moment, the few people standing downstairs were stunned.

"There are hostages! Save people!" Seeing this scene, Qiu Yelin didn't care about anything else. He threw the cigarette on the ground and stomped on it, then turned around and began to arrange, "You two, enter through the back door, and the others follow. I broke through the front door."

"Have you seen that woman clearly? Be careful, it's a trap..." Qu Ming called out, "Oh...do you want to leave someone outside to support you?"

"If you wait any longer, you may miss the rescue opportunity. When backup arrives, it will be too late." Qiu Yelin was burning with anxiety, "Old Qu, I think you are quite suitable for support. You can either follow us or wait here. Everyone else, follow 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 was about [-] square meters, empty, without a single figure.

The hall has a height of more than ten meters. From the high ceiling, there are more than a dozen white spheres hanging from the high ceiling, shining dimly, shaking gently like a pendulum.

As soon as he entered, Qu Ming smelled a very fragrant smell, like burning incense, or something like spices.

Someone broke through the back door very quickly, and seven police officers quickly searched the entire first floor.

"Qiu team, there is no one here!"

"I don't have any here, it's safe!"

That weird life-saving voice never sounded again, as if that scene was just their hallucination, the surroundings were extremely quiet, only the sound of their footsteps and breathing.

Qiu Yelin looked at the regular swaying balls in the middle, and didn't dare to be careless at all: "Everyone follow the previous team, find the stairs to go upstairs, the most important thing is to save people!"

The crowd dispersed immediately, and Qu Ming, holding a gun, followed Qiu Yelin and walked upstairs along a long staircase.He felt that this place was indescribably weird, and it was much bigger than it looked from the outside.

Suddenly, he heard a burst of soothing music. He didn't know who turned on the broadcasting speaker here. Accompanied by the melody of the music, a voice thought: "Relax, don't be so nervous, breathe in hard, and then slowly, Breathing out bit by bit..."

"Fuck, why is there a yoga teaching here?" Several police officers were very nervous at first, but now they heard this and couldn't help complaining.

"Those people don't want to influence us with such a little ability?"

"Psychiatrist, maybe they want to hypnotize us all."

"Hypnosis? That's a lie to children."

"...There are endless mysterious powers around you. With breathing, those powers enter your body. Your body starts to become lighter, and all your pressure is gone..." The man's voice continued.

"Don't listen to that recording, everyone hurry up and look for the suspects and hostages." Qiu Yelin shouted.

Hearing this, Qu Ming heaved a sigh of relief.Then he discovered something that was a little frightening to think about. He was unconsciously adjusting his breathing according to the method mentioned 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 the music off?! It's annoying!"

"What is that dangling thing, I can still see it when I close my eyes."

"Persistence of vision?"

"It's okay, if you have a firm will, if you don't cooperate with the hypnosis, you won't be able to hypnotize at all."

Among the group of people, 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 intercom.They underestimate the enemy, these people, including him, don't know much about hypnosis...

People will despise what they don't understand, but the phenomenon of hypnosis is originally more complicated and profound than what 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 said."

This one sentence resisted all their struggles.

"...it's very cold now, your body is almost frozen by ice. The weapon in your hand is very heavy. Your fingers are already connected to the gun, and your hand is very heavy...it's even up to your shoulders Can't lift it up."

Qu Ming tried his best not to listen to those words. He felt that his mind was clear and he was not under control, but then he suddenly discovered a terrible thing. His hand holding the gun was a little lower...

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 them.

It looks like a maze in front of you, surrounded by reflective mirrors, only when you look up, you can see the swaying balls outside.

"...Use your extraordinary imagination...It gets heavier and heavier...Your body is stiff, your steps are getting heavier and heavier, you can't move your feet...Your feet are connected with quicksand, every step you take Falling in, sinking deeper and deeper...you can't move..."

"Old Qiu, this place is not right, let's get out first!" Qu Ming put one hand into his ears as he spoke, trying not to be disturbed by those voices.

Qiu Yelin didn't answer him, and then Qu Ming found that Qiu Yelin, who was still in front of him just now, turned around and disappeared in the mirror.

"Put down the weapon in your hand, you are safe now, resistance is dangerous. Do not resist your consciousness."

"Your eyelids are very heavy, very heavy, and your memory is blurred..."

"Close your eyes..."

"You're surrounded by sand, it's a desert, you're stuck in the middle, and your body becomes that sand."

Qu Ming felt that his eyelids began to become heavy, and he had to work hard to open them, and he found that his footsteps began to slow down.

Why, why is this happening?

He didn't meet the other party at all, just hearing the music and words had an impact on him.

As long as he closed his eyes, he seemed to see those huge pendulums shaking non-stop.

I want to fall asleep, I'm about to lose consciousness...

He shook his head hard, trying to get rid of the illusion in his mind.

"You can't move, you're completely relaxed, you're going to sleep..."

"Now, you are alone, you are alone and helpless..."

"Stop resisting, stop struggling... relax..."

Suddenly, Qu Ming found that there was no one around him.

The police channel that had been talking fell silent.He could only hear some shallow breathing.

"Damn it, wake up!" Qu Ming growled. To him, this scene was extremely strange and terrifying.

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 darkened, and he fell into darkness.

"Three...two...one..."

Accompanied by three numbers, what answered him was silence, boundless silence... The group of people just now seemed to be swallowed by this strange building.

On the third floor of the building, footsteps sounded in the empty room. Several people walked into the radio room. They looked at An Yuci who was sitting in front of the monitor: "Doctor An, those people have been arrested."

They put the mobile phones and weapons they had taken from the officers on the table.

"Thank you. Tie them up and put them in the spa room, and you can go." An Yuci adjusted his glasses, and turned to look at the people in front of him. 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 was enough that they were willing to trust him and help him at this time.

The patients gradually left, and An Yu picked up a gun and carried it with him.

Then he walked into the spa room, opened his mobile phone with Qu Ming's fingerprint, then backed out, locked the door and threw away the key, and pressed the water flow switch.

An Yuci turned his head and saw a familiar person, it was Luo Wei.He had been hiding here since the police started reporting.

"Doctor An, I am willing to follow you." Luo Wei did not leave with the others just now.

An Yu resigned: "Then stay here. Please help me watch the entrance of the spa room upstairs, and don't let other people go in."

He raised his head and watched the water level in the spa room rise gradually, as if admiring some beautiful scenery.

An Yuci took a picture of this scene with his mobile phone, and searched through Qu Ming's address book, looking for the number in it...

In Huadu, the whole world fell into a dark night.

Su Hui frowned and looked out the car window in thought. In the darkness, there seemed to be a beast lurking behind him.

Lu Junchi's car had already reached outside the building, and he braked quickly.

The door of the white building in front of me was open, and there were soft lights inside, making it peaceful.

It has been 10 minutes since those people entered, but neither the intercom nor the mobile phone has been completely silent.

It can be predicted that the whole team is likely to have encountered an accident.

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 at all."

Lu Junchi frowned: "Could it be that An Yuci is a master hypnotist?"

Su Hui looked away from the window: "Master can't tell, but he definitely has some hypnosis skills. Sometimes group hypnosis will affect each other, which is actually easier than single-person hypnosis."

He further explained: "Hypnosis is a kind of induction, a strong suggestion, and it does not necessarily require a hypnotist to face them face to face. The environment of hypnosis is very important, a quiet environment, regular moving objects, and people hear the induction. Sounds, even some touches and caresses, may make people enter a hypnotic state."

Lu Junchi still felt a little unbelievable: "But the whole team of seven people, isn't there anyone who can resist?"

Su Hui said simply: "I don't think they lost contact because they were hypnotized, and they may have been attacked. At the first level of hypnosis, the hypnotized person does not think that he is being hypnotized, but has already entered the hypnotic state. Their muscle groups may start to be controlled by language, and they may also experience eyelid glue reaction. At this time, their reactions will become dull and they will be more easily subdued."

The more consciousness struggles, the more counterproductive it is.Unless they get out of the hypnotic environment immediately, this hypnotic state will continue to deepen, making their movements slow and getting into trouble...

When the three of them said this, Lu Junchi's cell phone rang suddenly. He looked down and saw that it was Qu Ming calling. Lu Junchi frowned and answered the phone, and An Yuci's voice came from inside: "Captain Lu, we meet again .”

Lu Junchi said: "An Yuci, what did you do to those police officers?"

An Yuci looked at him: "They are still alive, besides, they invaded my territory."

Lu Junchi: "If you broke the law, you should face punishment."

An Yuci's voice sounded gentle and gentle, harmless to humans and animals, "Captain Lu, I didn't do much to your colleagues, I just put them into a hypnotic state and put them in the hydrotherapy room. You can wait for rescue here, But whether they can last that long, I don't know."

The conversation got hung up here.

Then, with a flick of Lu Junchi's phone, a video was sent to him from Qu Ming's account.

It was a spa room made entirely of glass. Several police officers were bound by their hands and feet and sat against the glass curtain wall. At this time, water was continuously poured into it, and the depth was close to their chests.

Lu Junchi hesitated for a while, this was obviously another trap, there were only three of them here.

The door of the building was thrown wide open, as if inviting them in.

There is definitely a fraud inside, but now Lu Junchi feels that he seems to have stepped on the tightrope, and it is difficult to make a choice.

What is this person trying to do?Kill a police officer?delay?Neither seems to be the case.

Su Hui patted him on the shoulder from behind and said, "An Yuci probably wasn't lying. Saving people is the most important thing. If you want to enter, don't stare at moving objects, and don't focus on tiny things."

Qiao Ze quickly checked on the computer: "I called up the topographic map here. The main body of the spa is on the first floor, and the control room is on the second floor. There is a shortcut to go there."

After looking at the gradually rising water level, Lu Junchi made a decision: "Qiao Ze, let's save people first. Teacher Su, you stay in the car and don't get out of the car."

Lu Junchi and Qiao Ze got out of the car, he turned his head to look at Su Hui one last time, Su Hui nodded at him.

The two police officers took out their guns and held them in their hands, and walked into the white building.

The building is very empty, no one 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 all around, about ten square meters in size.It looks like a huge fish tank commonly seen in an aquarium, and it also looks like a transparent swimming pool.

This is a high-end spa room that was popular a few years ago. The purpose is to allow patients to be completely immersed in the amniotic fluid like a baby, which is closer to the natural state.

But now, An Yuci has turned this place into a water prison that can take people's lives.

In the spa room, several police officers sat crookedly, leaning against the glass wall, with their heads bowed and their hands bound.

Colorless water had already been poured in, and the water level was gradually rising, and it was already approaching the neck, but those people didn't seem to feel it at all, and were completely unconscious.

"Old Qu! Team Qiu?!" Lu Junchi yelled, but the people inside didn't respond at all.

Lu Junchi walked around the glass room. The room was sealed, and water poured in from the top like a waterfall.

Qiao Ze tried to find various exits, and he saw a keyhole above: "There is a keyhole here, but it cannot be opened without a key."

Lu Junchi pulled the trigger and fired a shot at a blank glass on the side. The glass was hard and remained unmoved.He fired another shot at the keyhole, and the bullet flew out. The device was obviously very strong.

Qiao Ze said from the side: "Captain Lu, according to the calculation of the flow rate, we still have about 5 minutes."

The sound of water in my ears was still rushing, and the water line was rising every second.

Lu Junchi 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 up 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 car glass was not completely soundproof, so his words came in.

An Yuci held a gun in his hand. He pulled the trigger, and the rear glass of the car shattered. He reached in through the broken glass and opened the door. Now, 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 on the side, and made a gesture of invitation, "However, the current situation is forcing, Teacher Su, you should sit with me for a while." Will."

Su Hui didn't say much, and followed An Yuci out of the car.

An Yuci did not go through the main entrance, but led Su Hui into the building through a side entrance, and came to a small room.

This is a white room with simple furnishings. There are only two sofas and a small coffee table. The sofa and coffee table are both white, and the lamps on the top surface reflect orange light.

The whole room looked neat and warm, and it was quiet, especially quiet.

It was as if the whole world was shut 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, nor the sound of water.

An Yuci gestured at Su Hui with the gun in his hand, and then motioned: "Teacher Su, don't look 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, nor did he carry any weapons. In other words, having a gun was of no use to his eyesight at all.

He sat on the sofa as promised, and looked at An Yuci, there was only a small round coffee table between the two of them.

An Yuci smiled and said, "Teacher 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 safe so far.

An Yuci didn't really want to kill people. If he had the intention to kill, then when they arrived, they would already be able to see the corpses all over the place, so there was no need for such trouble.

But every step An Yuci took had a purpose.

"I was a little worried that you wouldn't come, but the moment I saw you, I felt relieved." An Yuci said, took out a small hourglass, turned it upside down and put it aside, it is commonly used by psychotherapists The timing tool, such a small hourglass, is exactly 10 minutes.

The sight in front of me was like the beginning of a psychotherapy session.

An Yuci continued: "Mr. Su, I heard people say that there is a good psychological profiler in Huadu. I specially transferred to Yang Yuqing's clinic to actively receive the policemen who were diagnosed and treated. The first time I saw you in the clinic that day, I kept wondering if that person was you."

Su Hui asked, "Who did you hear that from?"

An Yuci smiled lightly and answered irrelevant questions: "That person told me that when you haven't met him, you can't confirm who he is, but when you meet him and talk to him, you will immediately know what you are looking for. It's him now. 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 had said to him when he was seriously injured. He was more and more sure that someone was contacting these serial killers.

And that person may be an old acquaintance with him, but undoubtedly, they are unwilling to disclose information about the people behind the scenes.

An Yuci looked at him and said, "I have been extremely careful when making the whole 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 together. At this time, unless it is through psychological profiling to inquire about the murderer's trajectory, it is difficult to predict all the murder patterns." He tilted his head and said, "In other words, I I feel that only you, or other profilers, can see through this puzzle."
