Speaking about self-protection mechanisms!
What are self-protection mechanisms?
Literally speaking, a person's genes are a complex code, which edits how the subconscious should protect itself when facing various dangers.
For example:
If you feel very uncomfortable at work, you might have thoughts of quitting.
To be more transparent, take school bullying as an example.
The vast majority of those bullied, after being bullied a few times, will develop an aversion to school within them.
This emotion will make you avoid school.
But ultimately it's not the school you hate, it's being bullied!
If at this time, they are given a normal school without bullying, or if they drop out, as long as they stay away from school, at least half of the early psychological symptoms can be alleviated!
But...
"As long as parents exist, 90% of students have no possibility of not going to school, and as long as they go, the emotions will continue to escalate."
"Students from the same school often don't live far from each other, so even if they transfer, or suspend their studies, nearby bullies can go near the victim's residence to harm them."
"Academic and residential conditions, conditions that are unshakable, will bind the self-protection mechanism making it immobile."
Xu Liang's face still carried a smile as if he were treating God.
People will flee when facing danger.
Even SM won't like these things and will run away immediately.
Especially with long-term emotional escalation, there are countless opportunities to escape!
But...
Why are there still countless examples of emotions escalating to extremes?
The reason is what Xu Liang mentioned.
There's no escape.
The binding conditions are unshakable!
The protection mechanism is forcibly severed...
"In other words."
"Everyone whose emotions escalate to extremes has a condition that forces them into long-term association with the deceased that is unshakable!"
"The police only need to investigate where the deceased spent the most time in their past, and then conduct screenings within that range."
After thinking for a while.
Xu Liang thoughtfully said:
"The deceased is very young, and visually they don't seem older than twenty-three years old."
"The police only need to divide the deceased's life into three parts."
"The first part doesn't need investigation, that is from one to ten years old, and the other two parts are 'ten~fifteen years old' and 'fifteen~twenty-three years old'"
It's hard to investigate under ten, and it's also difficult to form grievances.
The latter two are almost a watershed between two kinds of lives, investigating them separately will be very clear.
After speaking, Xu Liang reached out and knocked on the table.
At the same time, the clock on the wall rang.
"Dong Dong~"
An hour had passed!
Wang Chao and Chen Changchun woke as if from a dream and quickly stood up.
Chen Changchun did not hesitate, decisively took out two hundred yuan and thumped it on the table, then stood up with a serious expression.
"Alright, I will verify it as soon as possible."
After speaking, he was about to walk out.
The other party had explained it clearly; all the inferences are supported by clues.
To push further requires new clues, there's no time to waste here, need to quickly arrange personnel, even if these inferences are wrong, verifying quickly can save some time.
Xu Liang looked at the two hundred left on the table.
He suddenly spoke again:
"Oh, by the way, let me give you a reminder."
"The killer hated the deceased to the point of being able to kill, and even desecrate the body!"
"According to the theory just discussed, this means that the conflict itself is very intense, far beyond mere verbal disputes... it might not just be long-term emotional escalation."
"I advise you... you'd better investigate the deceased himself, to see if he was a law-abiding person."
Upon hearing this.
Wang Chao scratched his head.
Law-abiding? The deceased was twenty-three years old, according to the files, he had no criminal record.
In that case, he's naturally law-abiding.
But...
Chen Changchun suddenly paused, his face instantly solemn.
"Alright, I will verify this as soon as possible!"
After speaking, he rushed out in a hurry.
He understood what the other party meant, it merely represented two things.
First, the greater the emotion, the more intense the conflict, likewise, the more intense the conflict, the easier it is to investigate, just need to look at the two life stages Xu Liang outlined from a macro perspective and focus on major turning points, there might be significant findings.
As for the second...
The killer might have mistakenly killed with hatred and desecrated the body, from their emotions, this level of conflict....might involve other lives!!!
Two lives?
This could be a rare major case, even the entire Hanhai City Bureau sees few of those!
Thinking of this.
Chen Changchun quickened his pace outwards, but although his heart was anxious, he paused when he reached the door.
"Lawyer Xu, this is my phone number."
Chen Changchun smiled, wrote down his number, and handed it to Xu Liang, then pulled Wang Chao away hurriedly.
Instantly, only the half-finished scribbling of Wang Chao's phone number and his yelling were left at the spot.
"I-I-I! I haven't finished leaving mine!"
"Wait, I haven't finished writing..."
The voice gradually faded.
The figure disappeared at the door, Xu Liang exhaled, looking at the two hundred, filled with contentment.
In Eastern Country of 2004, two hundred yuan had significant purchasing power, equating to about five or six days' wages for an average household!
Not to mention, earning this money didn't affect meeting other clients!
"Sigh, I don't even know what kind of nutcases I haven't encountered yet..."
Thinking of this, Xu Liang couldn't help but feel a headache, at the same time remembering the first time the cowhide book worked in twenty years.
There was a bitter feeling in his heart.
"A fifty thousand yuan case..."
"Just gone like that, if I hadn't slept in, and left two hours earlier..."
"Forget it, yesterday is gone, best to see the client first."
Thinking of this, Xu Liang put away his emotions, grabbed his briefcase, and hurried out.
...
...
Three o'clock in the afternoon
Not far from the law firm, at the crime scene, in the alley where the killer drew the knife and killed the deceased.
The alley is very narrow, blocked by tall buildings on both sides, even though it's bright outside, the alley is extremely dark.
The ground is covered with visible plastic trash, the uneven road underfoot, and the humming sound of flies buzzing by the ears.
On both sides, sewer water flows with bubbling stinky water.
This is a trash alley.
Residents usually only come here to throw garbage, the trash bins are already overflowing onto the ground, leaking a brownish-yellow foul-smelling liquid.
Also, this is where the deceased Chen Wei was murdered!
Now, both sides of the alley are blocked by the police, officers in uniforms searching inside.
Chen Changchun walked out of the law firm and stood for a long time, suddenly speaking:
"Squadron Leader Zhao, come over for a moment."
Within the crowd, Intelligence Team Leader Zhao Huo stood up, scanned around, and came to Chen Changchun at the edge.
Zhao Huo removed his mask, taking a deep breath of fresh air.
"Boss, what's up?"
"Any new leads?" Chen Changchun went straight to the point.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Huo paused, frowned, and replied:
"The trash bins around the crime scene show signs of being rummaged through, judging from the scattered trash on the ground, it should be the killer's doing."
The killer rummaged through the trash bins before the killing?
The police have some speculations but no information to support it, leaning more towards Xu Liang's suggestion of a sudden accident and a crime of passion.
But...
"Previously, you were asked to look into the deceased himself, Chen Wei's life experience, how's that going now?"
Chen Changchun looked up, steering the conversation in another direction.
Hours ago, he had the other party rally the internal team for a thorough search on the deceased.
"It's done."
Zhao Huo nodded, walked to the police car nearby, pulled out a file from the front seat, and returned.
Upon returning, he immediately frowned, handed it over, and spoke:
"According to what you said, I divided the life from ten years old to now into two stages."
"I thought it would be a bit tricky, but after dividing it I found..."
"It's completely two entirely different lives!"
"No need for detailed investigation at all, just a rough scan is enough to find what you mentioned!"
Just a rough scan is enough to find clues?
What happened to Chen Wei?
Chen Changchun was surprised, his brows furrowed tightly, reaching out for the report.
Seeing this, Zhao Huo frowned, asking:
"Boss, what did that lawyer tell you?"
"Why is the police even starting to investigate Chen Wei!?"
"Did this guy...commit some crime?"
