Chapter 185 The context is clear! The damn truth!
After going around and around, this is the problem in the end.
Is the murderer a human or a ghost? ?
If it is a human being, but at the moment, there is no suspect who can be the murderer.
The clues found by the only Zhang Jiayu at this time also showed that the other party may have been dead long ago.
As soon as a person dies, the clues are immediately cut off and no other way can be found.
Then it can only be the root problem of the case.
Is it a human or a ghost?
"You can't, it's really a ghost"
Sun Jian paused, with a strange look on his face.
There are many strange cases that the police have encountered that cannot be explained in words.
You may never meet one in your lifetime, or you may meet a big one all at once.
Could it be that this is the current case?
"Do you think it is possible that under certain circumstances, human spirits will be bound together?"
Suddenly, Xu Hao spoke, looked at the two of them, and said something very unexpected.
Mental bondage?
Li Jianye frowned.
Can spirits still be bound together?
To be honest, the first thing is spirit. Science cannot explain this thing like "self-awareness" for the time being.
You take something that science can't explain at the moment as a basis, and then reason about another question. How can this possibly be answered?
"What do you mean by spiritual binding?"
After thinking about it, Sun Jian couldn't figure out the reason and asked.
"That's the literal meaning."
"Human consciousness and human spirit, under certain specific conditions, are bundled together, as if they have become a whole consciousness. One is prosperous and the other is damaged."
Xu Hao opened his mouth to explain.
But unfortunately, the two people in front of them still didn't understand.
no way.
Spirit, consciousness, this thing itself cannot be seen or touched, and it feels very vague to explain it.
Why?
Give an example.
Batteries and electricity, assuming that batteries can produce electricity, can we call batteries = electricity?
cannot.
Therefore, can the material structure in the brain be equated with illusory consciousness?
If not, where does the spirit exist?
Countless scientists and philosophers have tried to explain it on a material basis or in higher dimensions, but they have been unable to come up with a satisfactory conclusion for the public.
Not to mention, two cross-field detectives.
"Did you think of something?"
Li Jianye suddenly narrowed his eyes.
He doesn’t understand the problem, but he understands Xu Hao!
Problems in criminal investigation are all composed of information.
Think about it the other way around, only after you have mastered some information can you ask a question!
So, what is the basic information that Xu Hao used to construct this question?
"I thought of it, but I still need information for verification."
Xu Hao frowned and nodded without hiding it.
Li Jianye couldn't even understand the problem he was talking about, so the information was in vain.
"Drag Shen Fei to the interrogation and go directly to the detention room."
Xu Hao paused, changed his words, and at the same time moved away from the direction of his feet, turning towards the detention room.
The two people behind him looked at each other, sighed, and then followed.
It's very late now.
Judging from the current situation, I guess I will have to work overtime again.
But it's not a big problem.
If the case can be solved by working overtime, Li Jianye can move his family to the city bureau.
After a while.
The police came to the detention room of the city bureau.
The environment in the detention room is very good, and the treatment is relatively good. There are soft beds and iron doors, but the food is still not that good.
At this time, there was only one policeman on duty dozing off in the detention room.
After seeing the three figures coming at the door, the policeman immediately jumped up and stood up to greet them and say hello.
"Team Li, Consultant Xu, Officer Sun."
"Well, thank you for your hard work."
Li Jianye nodded, paused, and then asked:
"Where is Shen Fei?"
"No. 5 detention room, I will take you there."
The police officer took out the key from the table, stood up and walked inside.
There is no privacy in the detention room. The iron gate is a fence door, and the internal environment can be seen extremely clearly from the outside.
There are still people living in the remaining detention rooms, who are sleeping soundly at this time. There are also a few people who saw the police and crowded at the door as if they were having fun.
In front of detention room No. 5.
Li Jianye looked inside through the iron fence and frowned.
He didn't see anyone.
"Under the table."
Xu Hao sniffed and said to the five-sided solid table.
Li Jianye's face darkened and he immediately asked the police to open the door.
"Squeak~"
The door opened.
In the empty room, Li Jianye walked to the table, reached out his hand and fished inside.
The next second, as if squeezing a pimple, Shen Fei was pulled out of the gap.
Compared to before, Shen Fei's current condition is a bit worse.
His eyes were red, and his spirit was highly tense. His whole body seemed like an arrow on a string, ready to go.
And this arrow may break!
Even if he was pulled out, he didn't have the strength to say anything. He just shivered and slowly crawled in, then squeezed into the corner under the table, shaking constantly.
Li Jianye was helpless and frowned at the same time.
"How long has it been since he slept?"
"I don't know. At present, I conservatively estimate that I haven't slept for at least three days."
The police officer shook his head and sighed.
The police can't control sleeping, unless they give the person sleeping pills or physical sleep aids.
But unfortunately, both of them violated the rules.
However, an exception can be made for the former. If Shen Fei really can't handle it anymore, they will find a way to let the other party sleep.
If that doesn't work, an injection of anesthetic will do.
Li Jianye's heart sank.
Haven't slept in three days
To be honest, if a person has not slept for two days, he will basically start to feel hazy. He will occasionally not hear what others say, his thinking will be stiff, he will be in a daze from time to time, or even fall asleep directly!
Shen Fei remained in a highly tense state for three days, and today is the fourth day.
"Will there be any impact?"
Li Jianye asked in a low voice.
He thought of the opponent's performance in the afternoon. The interrogation could not be said to be useless, it was simply useless.
"It doesn't matter."
Xu Hao said casually.
Then, he looked at Shen Fei, paused, and suddenly said:
"Six years ago, who did Wang Wei stab with that knife!?"
Shen Fei's eyes were confused, and all he could see was endless madness.
Xu Hao ignored it and spoke again:
"Who set the fire at the fire scene?"
Shen Fei still ignored it, he kept mumbling in playful words that only he could hear.
"He's a ghost. It's my turn, it's my turn."
Xu Hao still didn't care, "Did you kill someone?"
Shen Fei was trembling, as if he hadn't heard a word. He was acting crazy, like a mentally ill person.
In a daze.
Xu Hao's tone suddenly became sharp.
"Where is Zhang Jiayu's body!?"
corpse
In a daze.
Shen Fei paused, turned his head suddenly, and stared at Xu Hao with his scarlet eyes.
Xu Hao's eyes were still dull, condescending and looking at each other.
A little bit.
"Ghost, there is a ghost. The ghost is here, he wants to kill me!"
Shen Fei suddenly screamed loudly. His eyes seemed to have seen something, and he became extremely frightened. His whole body kept shrinking back, as if he was trying to squeeze himself into the cracks of the floor tiles.
Xu Hao withdrew his eyes.
"Don't let him sleep, wait for my news."
After saying that, Xu Hao walked out. Although Li Jianye was puzzled, he still followed behind.
The police officer behind him didn't know what to do, so he simply did nothing.
A normal internment room may not even have a table, not to mention a bed
That is to say, when the superiors first came to inspect, the incoming director took out the funds and was willing to purchase it.
However, it is actually quite useful. It can be reviewed in the detention room anytime and anywhere.
"Squeak~"
The iron door closed, and the crazy Shen Fei was isolated again.
"Officer, can you please shut up that lunatic? He has been shouting all afternoon and is not allowing anyone to sleep."
The other people in the detention room started shouting, but Xu Hao ignored them.
He walked straight out.
Until I walked out of the door of the detention room, I felt a cold wind blowing in my face, cooling my skin.
The three of them wrapped themselves in cotton clothes.
"How was it?"
Li Jianye asked.
"That's almost it. Preliminary judgment shows that this case points to Zhang Jiayu."
Xu Hao exhaled a breath of white mist and said.
"Of course, the premise is that this is not deliberately pretended by the other party."
However, the other party's state cannot be deceived. It is difficult to pretend to be crazy, especially in front of Xu Hao.
He has seen as many as eighty madmen, if not a hundred.
"Really pointing to Zhang Jiayu!?"
"But Zhang Jiayu, isn't it said that he is probably dead?"
Li Jianye still couldn't understand.
"It's been six years."
"The dead person from six years ago can still appear now!?"
In six years, all that can be left is bones and hair.
Without professional anti-corrosion, how could it appear unchanged?
certainly.
There is still a way.
"Next, go to a place. If nothing else, the answer should be there."
Xu rubbed his hands, then braved the cold wind and walked towards the police car parked in the distance.
Li Jianye and Sun Jian frowned, but still followed.
"Crack!"
The three of them got into the car and closed the door to block out the cold wind and feel some warmth.
"Where are you going at night?"
“A visit may cause resentment.”
"Late?"
Xu Hao smiled and started the engine with the car key.
"The place we want to go is at this time."
"It's still morning."
The moment these words fell.
The next second, the vehicle gradually trembled, the engine roared, and it sped away into the distance.
"It's not too late at all."
People's routines are different.
You can get up at seven in the morning, or you can get up at seven in the afternoon.
When others are sleeping, it's time for you to have fun.
It's time for you to go to sleep when others wake up.
The most common thing that can show this thing apart from the time difference between domestic and foreign countries is
bar.
11pm.
The three people in casual clothes came to a dark place with flickering lights and a very stuffy interior.
You can't see your fingers here, the figures are looming, and the DJ sound is roaring next to your ears.
This is the Jade Bird Bar, a relatively well-known industry in Jiangsan City.
It is also a place where Wang Wei and four others have been!
"Tsk, what are these young people doing?"
Li Jianye looked at the people in front of him who were shaking their arms and turning their heads under the flashing lights, and several question marks came to mind.
"Just a way to vent stress."
Xu Hao explained casually.
The quality of the bars in 2004 was actually better than in the previous life.
In some places, there may be striptease performances on the stage, and the DJs are also real DJs.
The three of them looked around, looking for something among the people.
After a while, a girl suddenly approached Xu Hao for no reason.
"Handsome guy? Are you alone? Do you want to have a drink together?"
The girl dressed hotly. Even in winter, she wore black silk high boots and cool clothes on her upper body. Her whole person exuded a strong charm and she looked average to above average.
"Go aside, don't"
Li Jian waved his hand and was about to send the person away.
Xu Hao suddenly interrupted him.
"Call me your manager."
Xu Hao looked at the woman expressionlessly.
Manager?
Li Jianye paused, then frowned.
"Handsome guy is just joking. If you don't want to play, you won't play." The woman smiled coquettishly and left immediately.
Unexpectedly.
Li Jianye took a step forward, reached out and took out an ID from inside his clothes.
"From the Criminal Police Team of Jiangsan City Bureau."
"Call your manager out. There are some things that require his cooperation. If he doesn't do it."
"You bear the consequences at your own risk!"
In addition to the superficial staff, the bar also has some soft jobs.
For example, someone who persuades people to drink.
Generally speaking, both men and women work in this category, with women being more common. The target group is people who come alone and use words to lure them into buying alcohol.
Their salary is mainly based on commission, so they often choose the most expensive models.
Of course, there are also people who really have no money and just want to drink.
But there is no doubt about it.
The woman he was chatting with was a soft worker who was hiding his nature.
It is also commonly known as a wine tray.
When the other party saw the police card, his expression suddenly changed and he spoke immediately.
"Officer, follow me."
After saying that, he hurriedly led the way, feeling regretful in his heart.
I thought he was just trying to get a good guy, he was a good job, and he seemed to be quite rich. Even with his appearance, it would be a good idea to pretend to be drunk and go to bed with him
But the result was that the police were provoked
Even though my heart is going crazy.
But her face was not exposed. She led the way to the backstage and talked to someone. The person's expression suddenly changed and he quickly brought the manager.
The manager is a young man, probably a businessman, about twenty-seven years old, with pretty good looks.
"Three police officers are here."
The manager asked tentatively.
"I heard that there is a striptease here?"
Xu Hao smiled half-heartedly. He sat on the sofa nearby and looked at the surrounding environment.
"This dance is quite advanced."
Hearing this, the manager's eyes twitched and he quickly waved his hand.
"No, no, no, that's a temporary worker. He wanted to reward him, but he violated the rules. The bar is already open!"
In various performance industries these days, performances are not very serious.
For example, opera looks very high-end.
But in fact, this thing is also low-grade, because there is also a kind of opera called pink opera
Pink play can be understood as bed play.
Likewise, there is the circus.
The circus that travels around the country and earns money while traveling performs very vulgar acts.
They will set up a hidden platform, allowing only adults to enter, and children will not be able to get in even if they try their best. And on this stage, the performances are stripteases, or some extremely vulgar behaviors, even taking off all the clothes.
Not to mention the bar industry, where it is common to wear three-point underwear to play seduction.
"Tsk, I heard that you also provide prostitution services here?"
Xu Hao narrowed his eyes.
"The police officer is unjust, this is all serious business!"
The manager suddenly became anxious.
"You also know that this kind of service industry is only done by girls, and the girls have to be beautiful. You also know what the men who come here are thinking about."
"Coupled with the exaggerated atmosphere, it is easy for men and women to have something happen. As soon as they leave the bar, it is normal to make some money transactions. It has nothing to do with the bar!"
"Don't worry, don't worry."
"I just heard about it. Besides, it's not because of this that I came to you."
Xu Hao reassured.
The manager breathed a sigh of relief, but the next second, Xu Hao's voice made him freeze on the spot.
"I heard."
"Are you a peddler?"
One sentence fell.
Suddenly, the atmosphere at the scene was deadlocked, not even a sound could be heard, and the drop of a needle could be heard.
Li Jianye's eyes gradually became sharper.
"The police officer was joking. Dongguo is so strict in its management of goods. We would not dare to do such a thing even if we were too brave."
The manager was a little anxious.
Aipin will be in big trouble if he is labeled as such.
"If it really doesn't work, you took our whole bar to get a physical examination. I dare say there's not a single one!"
"Oh? Really?"
Xu Hao smiled.
"Then what if this kind of product cannot be detected through inspection?"
The product inspection cannot come out! ?
In a daze, Li Jianye thought of testing Wang Wei and Shen Fei.
The next second, he felt 100% vigilant in his heart, stretched out his hand to his waist, and looked around him warily.
What does an undetectable product mean?
If the detection method is backward due to the new type of product, then it is not bad, but if it is impossible to detect it anyway
That’s a problem!
"Well, if I guess correctly, you may have taken advantage of a legal loophole."
Xu Hao smiled, his expression was very relaxed, and he did not treat Aipin the way he should.
"Take it yourself, it will be too late when I tell you."
The manager's fingertips felt cold and he couldn't breathe. After a long time, he felt numb and walked away.
The other party obviously knows what it is, and any further quibbles will only make the other party angry.
Seeing him disappear, Li Jianye couldn't bear it anymore.
"What?"
"Team Li, given the death of Zhang Jiayu, do you think the deceased saw a person or an illusion?"
Xu Hao looked at the other party and spoke slowly.
"Nature is an illusion."
"Then why are you seeing it now?"
"It has been six years since a person died. Logically speaking, the closer to the time of death, the clearer the memory will be. The clearer the memory, the easier it will be to see hallucinations."
"Why, after six years of death, I have only seen it now?"
Xu Hao looked at the other person and spoke slowly.
"In other words, why can I see it now."
"In the first five and a half years, there were no problems and everything was stable. But half a year ago, when the other party started squandering money, this situation emerged within half a year."
"There is no doubt that the four Wang and Wei people must have touched something to cause it."
“Our initial investigation was that it was Ai, but the test report showed that it had nothing to do with Ai.”
Toadstools can also cause this effect.
However, the effect of fungi cannot be maintained for a long time.
"But some things actually have the effects and side effects of '毐', and they are undetectable."
"It's even legal!"
One sentence.
Li Jianye's body trembled and his pupils tightened.
Before he could ask clearly.
The manager who had left and returned came back.
At this time, he had something more in his hands.
Some.Metal bottle filling.
It is about the size of a thumb and about the thickness of a thumb. It is silver in color and looks like a capsule.
This thing is
"Nitrous oxide."
"A gas anesthesia with extremely wide applicability. It is commonly used for dental anesthesia. It is convenient, fast and effective."
"At the same time, nitrous oxide is an important and effective material in racing cars or rockets, and it is basically needed."
"It is even said that it is a food additive."
Xu Hao picked up a small metal bottle and raised it above his head to look at something that had appeared again after decades.
“Like foaming cream, so it is also called ‘cream bomb’.”
"But, the words have been said."
"Its applicability is very wide, so it is also effective in some fields."
"And most people know the nickname of one of its ways of use, and this thing is."
As he spoke, Xu Hao paused and uttered two words.
"Laughing gas."
Laughing gas is nitrous oxide.
This thing is not a product, but it has the same effect as a product.
It has a very high addiction rate and is also damaging to the body.
If a large amount is taken at one time, it can also cause death.
Same as Aipin, this thing.
"Long-term smoking can lead to memory loss, numbness, trance, neurological damage, unstable walking and other problems."
"The most important thing is"
"There will be hallucinations."
Xu Hao spoke slowly, and Li Jianye was immediately stunned.
Doesn’t this thing sound like Aipin? ?
But unfortunately, this thing is really not a product.
Of course, it is precisely because this thing is not Ai, so.
"Routine drug inspection procedures, blood draws, urine tests, or body debris detection, these cannot be detected in any case."
"It can only be measured using certain methods."
Previous life.
Laughing gas entered Dongguo relatively late and was detected around 15 years ago. The specific time when it first entered is unknown.
From 15 to 17 years, this thing was considered the most popular, spreading among the majority of people around the age of 18.
It was later discovered by the police. For safety reasons, police across the country conducted large-scale searches for this object.
Well, the Dongguo police suppressed it in a short period of time. At most, it only existed in special areas like bars, rather than being spread on a large scale.
The price of this thing is also very cheap, you can buy a box for ten or twenty yuan.
"Tsk, I bought it from abroad."
"No wonder you have so many repeat customers in your bar. This thing is selling well."
Xu Hao clicked his tongue slightly. He didn't expect that this world would have sold this thing in 2004.
After this case is over, I need to give the police a heads up.
There are so many different kinds of these things abroad, and it would be torture to discover them on your own without warning.
The substitutes for drugs over there can even be painkillers.
The manager's lips trembled for a moment, and he held it in for a long time, and finally...
"This is not Aipin."
The law doesn't prohibit it either.
After all, it was only in 2015 that it appeared on a large scale, and private sales were banned at that time. Dongguo still doesn’t know about it now.
It's a gray area, but it doesn't prevent you from being caught by the police.
"Haha, take it away."
Xu Hao's face changed, his expression suddenly went blank, and he became extremely cold.
Laughing gas is cheap and its legal status is not a product, but that doesn't mean it can cause fewer troubles!
Why?
Because the market users of this thing during that time were targeted at younger people.
There are many examples of these people who were murdered, who became prostitutes at a young age, or who committed suicide!
And the manager heard to be taken away.
He was a little anxious in an instant, and the security guard at the bar behind him wanted to step forward.
But when Sun Jian's nearly two-meter-tall body and ferocious face glared, the group immediately became silent.
Sun Jian directly dealt with the opponent.
The three of them led the manager out of the front door openly, and no one dared to step forward to stop them.
Xu Hao stood on the roadside and watched Sun Jian stuff people into the back seat.
After Li Jianye thought for a moment, he frowned again.
"This kind of thing...well, laughing gas, the hallucinations caused by laughing gas are all the same?"
"Of course it's different. It's all an illusion. How can it be the same?"
Xu Hao shook his head.
"What about the four Wang Wei people?" Li Jianye suddenly felt a little puzzled and frowned.
"This brings up another mental state."
Xu Hao shook his head and explained slowly.
"Collective hysteria!"
"A kind of mental illness that can be 'contagious!'"
Flu can be contagious.
Viruses can be contagious.
Can it be done mentally?
Can something as insubstantial as the spirit be infected? ?
OK!
"Give me an example."
"When a couple gives birth to a child, the child's personality will be biased towards the couple. Is this like a spiritual contagion?"
"Of course, mass hysteria is different from this."
Xu Hao started to explain.
"It is a truly contagious form of mental illness."
"When a group of people are in the same environment, one of them will show certain symptoms first and explain that it is caused by this environment."
"Then the rest of the people will gradually develop the symptoms."
Give a few examples.
In the previous life, there was the Tiannasi Middle School incident abroad. In 1998, more than a hundred students or staff at a school in Western China were poisoned and nauseated.
They said they had food poisoning and were taken to hospital for treatment.
But the hospital's tests showed that no one among the hundred people was poisoned.
But more than a hundred people showed symptoms of poisoning, and they were convinced of it.
In 2007, there was a convulsion incident at Westland Bird School.
Many students suffered from convulsions and fainting, but the hospital did not detect any negative symptoms such as food poisoning.
1979, Boston suburban school.
The 224 students collectively felt dizzy, weak, nauseated, and fatigued, but they did not actually feel any physical discomfort.
Over in Canada, in the early 1960s, the Beatles went to sing.
There was a collective emotional outburst at the concert, causing several people to faint.
"This is a spiritual contagion."
"As long as you are in the same environment as someone, then when the other person presents a certain situation due to the environment."
"You might show up too."
Xu Hao explained slowly.
Mental illness can also be contagious. It sounds unbelievable, but it is the reality.
This is a psychologically difficult question.
For example, if you feel that you are listless and very weak.
Then it won't be long before you really feel lethargic and accompanied by fatigue.
"As for the four deceased persons, Wang Wei, they were co-participants in Zhang Jiayu's issue."
"Then, after inhaling laughing gas, causing brain problems and seeing hallucinations, as long as one of them thinks that Zhang Jiayu is indeed alive, or that it is a ghost coming to claim his life."
"Then, other people will become more and more panicked in this situation, until they have hallucinations and spread the disease."
Xu Hao explained slowly.
This is a psychological suggestion.
For example, when you look at certain walls at night, the textures on them may be nothing.
But if you are under great psychological subjective suggestion, the lines on the wall may appear to be a human face.
"After that, the four of them were gradually and step by step eroded by this disease and fell into madness."
"That's the problem with the current case."
Xu Hao sighed.
Laughing gas collective hysteria.
To be honest, if someone else took over this case.
No kidding, it will definitely become another weird case!
‘Ghost murder incident! ’
Well, the people behind will most likely call the case this way.
There is no way, if it were someone else
Not to mention mass hysteria, this is a cold knowledge that even psychology and psychiatrists may not know.
Even if it was laughing gas, the professional police would not know it.
This thing has been spread abroad, and now the domestic police cannot see it at all.
Coupled with the routine process, no matter how detailed the product inspection is, it will not be detected
It can only be done through a designated test, and even this designated test must be done within a short period of time after smoking.
These two settings are so embarrassing that no police officer would be willing to take over.
"Collective hysteria, is it a contagious mental illness?"
Li Jianye was shocked. It was the first time he heard of such a thing.
Fortunately, the premise of this thing is that certain specific requirements must be the same to integrate the minds of multiple people into a whole.
In a daze.
He thought about what Xu Hao said when he was at the police station, that the spirits of many people are both prosperous and damaged
Isn't Wang Wei right now an example of this? ?
"This is not a mental illness, it is a psychological suggestion, considered a mental illness."
Xu Hao explained carefully.
Psychiatry, neurosis, and mental illness are three completely different fields and cannot be confused.
"They are almost the same." Li Jianye said.
“Not even close”
Xu Hao clicked his tongue slightly.
But he paused, then calmed his expression and looked at the manager seriously.
"Whether Zhang Jiayu is dead or alive right now, it doesn't matter to the case."
"But what is certain now is that what Wang Wei and the other four saw was definitely not Zhang Jiayu himself!"
Zhang Jiayu is a man, not a god, so there is no way for the four of them to appear in each other's eyes at the same time when they are separated.
So it can only be illusory.
Now I have the answer, but.
"What was the truth six years ago?"
In a daze, Li Jianye asked.
"Six years ago, when a fire broke out, Wang Wei faked the scene where Zhang Jiayu escaped and his wife died."
"What about Zhang Jiayu?"
"He is dead? Where is the body?"
"Did Wang Wei really kill him just for money?"
"What happened to them six years ago?"
"If Zhang Jiayu died, how did Wang Wei kill him? Why did he kill someone, and now he could be so scared just by looking at him?"
"How cruel is this method to make the perpetrators feel scared!?"
Li Jianye didn't know.
Xu Hao didn't even know that he was still in high school six years ago, thinking about how to pry open Chu Xi's mouth and take out some food.
But.
"But Shen Fei knows."
Xu Hao narrowed his eyes.
"But Shen Fei is crazy"
"No, to us he is crazy, but to Zhang Jiayu he is not crazy."
Xu Hao said with a smile.
"What do you mean?"
Li Jianye paused.
"Isn't he afraid of Zhang Jiayu?"
Xu Hao squinted his eyes and an idea came to his mind.
"Then let's give him Zhang Jiayu!"
Li Jianye was stunned, and the next second, his eyes lit up.
"Hey, you're such a bad boy!"
"But I like it!"
When the ghost of fear shines into reality
Can a person go crazy?
