abnormal sea area

After Lei Chi got the white noise headphones that had been registered as exhibits, he put them on and listened for a while.

There is only one data access port on the headphone body, and the shape is completely different from the usual data connection port.Lei Chi listened for a while, and confirmed that Bai Xiaoyuan did not lie to himself: indeed, he could only hear very subtle sounds, like the voices of people coming and going in the market, as if they were far away from him.

"Xiao Liu, come here."

Xiao Liu ran to him, and Lei Chi handed him the headset.

"...Well, this is Tianjin dialect, the sound of selling breakfast." He frowned and listened for a few minutes, "There is also the sound of water, by the river, right? Haihe River? And... the sound of cars passing by. The noise seemed to be recorded off the street."

"Can you hear so clearly?" Lei Chi was a little surprised.

"Yes." Xiao Liu took off the earphones and looked at them over and over again. "This machine is very expensive. I want to buy the M series version that just came out last year, but I don't have enough money."

Lei Chi took the earphones back and asked casually, "Every sentinel likes different white noises, what do you like?"

"I like the sound of the wind." Xiao Liu said with a smile, "My mental body is an eagle."

"Is this related to the spiritual body?"

"Not necessarily. To be precise, it has something to do with Sentinel's spiritual world." Xiao Liu explained, "Whatever Sentinel likes and desires, he will tend to choose what kind of white noise."

Lei Chi took the earphones, turned a few corners, and came to the administrative office of the criminal investigation department.

"Xie Liang, are you free? Do me a favor." Lei Chi said to a boy in the office.

The boy had dark red eyes and wrinkled skin on his face and hands.He got up and walked over, wondering: "What's the matter?"

"Put on these headphones and listen to what sounds inside."

The hearing and vision of semi-zombified humans will be damaged due to the virus. Xie Liang listened for a few minutes, frowned and shook his head: "I can't hear clearly, there is a slight voice."

Lei Chi: "Okay, thank you. I invite you to dinner when I have time."

Xie Liang scolded with a smile: "Is it your mantra to invite dinner? I have heard you say it hundreds of times, and I have never seen you actually invite me."

"I can invite you." Lei Chi said, "Order any takeaway, anyway, I work overtime every day."

Xie Liang: "Bah, I'm a family man, I don't eat takeaway with you single dogs."

Lei Chi grabbed the earphones and left, then slipped into the evidence room to find another semi-zombified colleague.

He searched all three semi-zombified humans in the criminal investigation department, and everyone had the same answer: there was indeed sound in the earphones, but they couldn't be heard at all.

Wang Zheng said that the earphones could calm him down, and Lei Chi was very curious about what he heard through the earphones.Is it the silence that cuts off the sounds of the outside world, or these distant, noisy human voices?

Wanting to ask Wang Zheng again, Xiao Liu told him that Wang Zheng just fainted and has been sent to No. [-] Hospital.

"I haven't had a serious meal for several days." Xiao Liu said, "He can't even cook. He wants to order takeaway but has no money."

Lei Chi: "...Okay, let's stop for a while and integrate the information we have at hand. By the way, which company made this cable earphone?"

"Soli." Xiao Liu pointed to the huge H painted on the fuselage, "Its founder is named Hu Shuo, who is very famous, and now he is doing lecture tours all over the country to promote his white noise business model, What's the name...Earn [-] million? The H is his initials."

Qin Ge walked in from the door, just in time to hear this sentence: "Who wants to earn [-] million? Lei Chi you?"

Seeing him coming, Lei Chi was very happy, and almost jumped up from his chair: "If I earn [-] million, I will give you half of it. Section Chief Qin, I want to ask you something."

He dragged Qin Ge to the corridor, his expression gradually calmed down.Once Lei Chi calmed down, he seemed very serious for no reason, and even Qin Ge had no choice but to become serious.

Qin Ge asked him if he knew about the Luquan incident. Lei Chi remembered that he had asked the section chief before, so he told Qin Ge frankly: "After the Luquan incident, it was indeed handled by the field team of our criminal investigation department, but the files are not in our here."

He pointed to the top: "The section chief didn't say it clearly, but I found out that all Luquan's investigation files were transferred to the special management committee, and we didn't keep any of them here."

Qin Ge didn't have much expectations for this, so he nodded and asked the question he really wanted to ask: "Do you know which one was the field detachment that went to investigate the Luquan incident at that time?"

Lei Chi hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "It's Spike."

Qin Ge let out a "hmm", but there were not too many disturbances on his face.The two chatted for a while about what kind of wolf the spirit body of the leader of the Wolf Fang Detachment was. Lei Chi caught the gap and changed the subject: "Qing Ge, I have a story to tell you."

Qin Geqi said: "Story? Tell me."

Lei Chi told Qin Ge the story of X.

The little guide who escaped from Cai Mingyue and was taken home by his father and mother returned from the city to the mountains.Zhou Xuefeng never gave mother and son any love, and the weak mother couldn't protect him, and even died in the end, it was her own child who dug a hole and buried him.

"A few years after his mother died, Zhou Xuefeng disappeared." Lei Chi recalled what was written in the report, "Zhou Xuefeng died unexpectedly because a rock fell from the top of the mountain and hit his head. After that, X disappeared. So far, we have all Haven't found him yet."

"X? This code name is not very auspicious." Qin Ge smiled, and quickly asked seriously, "What do you want to ask?"

"Qin Ge, you study the 'sea' and spirit. What do you think X's sea will be like? Growing up in such a living environment, is it possible that X's mind and personality are normal?"

Qin Ge looked at Lei Chi: "Where is the boundary between normal and abnormal?"

Ray didn't say anything.

Qin Ge: "Do you suspect that Zhou Xuefeng's death was not an accident?"

Lei Chi quickly gave him the answer: "Yes. Do you know what case I came to the crisis office headquarters for?"

Qin Ge: "The concrete corpse case in Hubei?"

The principal culprit in that case was a young man in his twenties, without father or mother, who had been trafficked 12 times. In his short life, memories of abuse and pain occupied most of his years. "That's a particularly obvious anti-social personality, typical enough to be a happy criminal in a textbook case." Lei Chi said, "X's experience reminds me of that person. He should be very resentful towards Zhou Xuefeng."

Qin Ge thought for a long time.

"Spiritual adjusters are not omnipotent. If we want to make a judgment on a 'sea', at least the prerequisite is that we have to meet the person concerned face to face, talk and take a look. You describe it like this, and I have no way to answer you. He told Lei Chi, "If there is a dispenser who can make a judgment based on your description alone, don't believe him. He is a liar, and he is an extremely conceited liar."

Lei Chi's shoulders slumped: "Even you can't answer..."

"But I think your suspicion is very interesting." Qin Ge said in a class-like tone, "Why do you think Zhou Xuefeng was killed by X? Because X might hate his father?"

Lei Chi listened attentively: "Yes."

Qin Ge: "Because Zhou Xuefeng beat his wife and son, do you think X will resent the perpetrator?"

Lei Chi: "...Isn't it?"

Qin Ge: "You can give me too little information. I can only say that there are exceptions."

Ray regained his spirits after a while.

What Qin Ge said next was far beyond his expectations.

A child who has suffered from his father's violence since childhood, his personality and mental development process is different from that of ordinary babies.The most profound thing he learned was not comfort and love, but how strong the power shrouded in this family and parent-child relationship was.

Zhou Xuefeng is the absolute representative of power in this deformed family.He controls his wife and children, including their actions, food and clothing, and life and death.

And the child will naturally depend on the mother.When he was hurt, his mother became his instinctive choice: he would move closer to his mother and pray for her protection and love.

But X's mother didn't give him the response he wanted.In the hospital that day, she chose Zhou Xuefeng between her child and her husband. Qin Ge didn't think she would give shelter to X who had endured violence.

X had never learned to doubt and resist Zhou Xuefeng, but his mother was in the same camp as him—both of them were weak.

X dare not resent Zhou Xuefeng, but he will resent his mother for not protecting him.

"Whether it is an adult or a child, when faced with a difficult choice, they will subconsciously lean towards the easier and more acceptable option." Qin Ge told Lei Chi, "Hating mother is easy, but X can't hate his father , which would completely deviate from the controlled state he has always been in, and would make him doubt power. He is also afraid of violence and pain, so he can't even question his father. This is actually a symptom similar to Stockholm, and often Appears in children who have suffered long-term domestic violence: they will blame the weak, such as the women in the family, why she didn't resist, why she didn't leave, but implicated themselves and made themselves suffer more.

"Zhou Xuefeng let X know the beauty and pain of power, and what he learned from Zhou Xuefeng is also the beauty and pain of power. If you ask me what will happen to his personality and mind, I don't know, but what Zhou Xuefeng taught him must be true. It will have a profound impact on his life."

Speaking of this, Qin Ge was stunned for a moment: "Wait...X, come with Lu Qing..."

"It's not the same person." Lei Chi said immediately, "I've checked the medical records of birth that year, and compared it with Lu Qinglai's medical records. The blood types and ages of the two people don't match."

Qin Ge breathed a sigh of relief: "That's right, X probably won't give up his surname."

Lei Chi: "What?"

Qin Ge: "If -- what I said is if, those words just now are all conjectures -- if X really admires Zhou Xuefeng, then he will not abandon the surname 'Zhou'. It is the power that X and he first encountered He is not willing to bear the most obvious connection between the rulers."

Lei Chi leaned against the wall, unable to say a word for a long time.

The next day, Xiao Liu told Lei Chi that they had found the address of the company that produced the M-series white noise headphones. It happened that their founder, Hu Shuo, was at work at this time and could visit him.

Lei Chi: "Is Hu Shuo your idol?"

Xiao Liu was surprised: "Lei Group, how do you know?"

Lei Chi: "He seems to be very famous."

Xiao Liu chuckled: "It's very powerful. He is a sentinel himself, about our age, self-made, and he was on the Forbes rich list last year."

Lei Chi: "All self-made is chicken soup."

Xiao Liu: "I love chicken soup."

Talking about Hu Shuo, the young men Lei Chi brought really had a lot to say, and Lei Chi was dozed all the way, listening to other people's chats.It was almost noon when he arrived at Hu Shuo's company. Hu Shuo just finished the meeting, strode towards Lei Chi with a happy face, and shook hands with him warmly: "Lei team leader! I have heard your name for a long time!"

Lei Chi: "What name have you admired me for so long?"

Hu Shuo: "Lei Chi, the president of the Werewolf Association! Our company is currently making a VR game with the theme of werewolf hunting, and we still need the care of President Lei..."

Lei Chi couldn't understand, and followed Hu Shuo to his office with a sullen face.In the open office area, many young people are discussing things around a computer.Lei Chi simply told Hu Shuo that he was here to investigate the M series white noise headphones.

"M series?" Hu Shuo smiled all over his face. "That's a coincidence. This is the white noise earphone developed by another partner of our company. He happened to be here today."

Hu Shuo turned around and walked back a few steps, and greeted the office area loudly: "Zhou You!"

A young man in his thirties straightened up among the crowd, frowned and looked towards Hu Shuo and Lei Chi: "Huh?"
