Chapter 40 Crime Originates from the Human Heart
Wang Zheng received a call from Huamei early in the morning. Hearing her anxious tone, he quickly put on his clothes and rushed to the designated location.
This was the first time since the task force had gone their separate ways several times, so he had to be cautious and dressed very carefully, as if he was attending a special dinner.
"I really don't understand. I just asked you to help me look at the scene. Why do you act like you are going to a fashion show?" Huamei looked at Wang Zheng's clothes, her expression a little speechless.
She really didn't expect that Wang Zheng would dress so formally.
Of course there is nothing wrong with being formal, but it is not suitable for the special occasion before the two of them, because it seems like a murder scene.
"I just returned to the clinic this morning and I smelled a bloody smell." Huamei had a headache: "After I entered the door, I saw that the office was turned upside down. There were also a lot of bloodstains in several places. I suspect someone was killed here."
"Have you called the police?" Wang Zheng asked casually, looking at the messy scene.
The situation at the scene was similar to what Huamei described. In addition to a few bloodstains on the ground, there were also documents scattered everywhere, and the sofa placed by the window was deliberately overturned.
However, he just glanced over these scenes. His eyes were basically always on the desk, where there was an artistic photo of Huamei. With her gorgeous attire and cold expression, she looked like a noble princess.
"We are the police." Huamei looked a little unhappy, and reached out to press the photo with his name on it on the table. "What do you think is going on?"
"Okay." Wang Zheng shrugged reluctantly and said, "You said that the door lock had no signs of being damaged when you entered, right?"
Huamei nodded and asked in confusion: "Is this important?"
"Of course it is important." Wang Zheng said thoughtfully, "Since your door lock has not been damaged, there are not many people who can get in. Besides, your psychological clinic is unlikely to be robbed. It means someone has found a way to get in. How many keys do you have for this door?"
"Just one." Huamei took out the key from her pocket and recalled, "This came with the door when I bought it, and my clinic is full of private files of my clients, so I can't leave the key to anyone."
"Then the answer is obvious." Wang Zheng said with a smile, "Since you didn't give the key to anyone, and there's nothing valuable in the house, why would someone come to your place to kill someone? Could it be that they want to frame a psychologist? So whoever is hiding, come out."
"What are you talking about? I don't understand what you mean." Huamei shook her head with a cold face, as if she did not admit what Wang Zheng said.
"I'll give you three seconds. If you don't come out, I'll enter empathy and burn this clinic down." Wang Zheng turned around and said to the bookcase beside him: "1..., 2..."
Crunch!
Just when Wang Zheng was about to count to three, a hole suddenly appeared in the bookcase behind Huamei. Soon, the seemingly closed bookcase was pushed open from the inside, and the figure soon became clear.
Wang Zheng's expression suddenly showed some surprise. The person hiding in the bookcase turned out to be Gao Feng.
" I hate you..." Gao Feng looked at Wang Zheng resentfully, then turned and looked at Huamei.
"I've already told you that he will definitely see through your stupid method." Huamei spread her hands and said helplessly: "Also, you'd better clean up the blood when you leave, otherwise I will definitely drug you."
"You two are really my good colleagues." Wang Zheng knew that all this was a conspiracy between the two after listening to their conversation. He immediately shook his head and said helplessly, "The task force has no cases now. Why don't you go back to your base and come to the southwest?"
"I have changed my job." Gao Feng's expression became even more aggrieved, and he looked at Wang Zheng like a wronged young wife.
"What the hell does it have to do with me?" Wang Zheng shrugged and said, "Also, please use your brain next time you do something like this. If you don't have enough brains, at least ask Professor Gu to help you."
"Are you sure?" Gao Feng suddenly looked at Wang Zheng in surprise, then he suppressed a smile and said, "Are you sure you want me to find Professor Gu?"
"Nonsense, Professor Gu has been in the industry for decades and has rich experience in handling cases. If he were to set up the scene, it would be more realistic. Besides, Bai Ling in our group could fool me by just throwing out a few bones." Wang Zheng said.
"So that's how it is." Gao Feng shouted in a hoarse voice: "Professor Gu, please come out and help me find out what went wrong with the scene we set up. Why can't we fool anyone?"
Wang Zheng looked at Gao Feng in shock, then quickly rubbed his eyes and stared at the bookcase. When he saw Gu Xia, who looked unhappy, coming out of the same place, the expression on his face suddenly became awkward.
"You..., good boy." Gu Xia looked at Wang Zheng with a dark face.
"Oh, I remember, there's still soup in the soup pot in my dormitory. I'll go back and take a look. Let's find a time to get together some other day."
"Come back." Gu Xia looked at Wang Zheng who was about to sneak away, and suddenly became furious. He said with a dark face: "Forget about that damn farce just now. Now change your clothes for me, we are going to leave the scene soon."
Wang Zheng couldn't help but stop when he heard Gu Xia's words, but he didn't turn around. He just stood there in a daze for a long time before he said, "I'm afraid I can't go to the scene again. Before the problem of my loss of control is solved, I am not suitable to follow up any case."
"Really?" Gu Xia looked at Wang Zheng's back and said, "What if I tell you that this case is more serious than you thought?"
"What do you mean?" Wang Zheng turned his head in confusion.
"Let's talk while we walk." Gu Xia walked up and patted Wang Zheng on the shoulder. Suddenly he stopped, turned around and looked at Gao Feng and said, "You can only go after you clean up the clinic. This is an order!"
"Why am I always the one who gets hurt?" Gao Feng cried out as he watched the two people leaving, wanting to cry but without tears.
Huamei looked at Gao Feng with a cold face, then threw a rag and hit Gao Feng's face squarely, then said: "Because you are cheap."
…
"What kind of case is this? Why does a special task force need to be dispatched?" In the high-speed train, Wang Zheng looked at Gu Xia in confusion and asked.
"What kind of cases has our task force been handling all along?" Gu Xia asked.
Wang Zheng thought about it carefully. Starting from the first case he received, almost every case was a case that the police could not solve, but they were all cases with traces. After thinking for a while, he said, "Murder case."
"That's right, but in fact this is not the reason why the organization asked us to set up a special task force." Gu Xia paused and said, "The previous case was indeed a homicide case, but if you ask me, every case is a mystery case."
"Strange case?" After Wang Zheng repeated the word silently in his mind, a puzzled look appeared on his face.
Gu Xia seemed to understand Wang Zheng's confusion. After a long silence, he said, "Wang Zheng, there are too many things in this world that we cannot explain. I am not referring to those supernatural abilities. No one can make a definitive conclusion about those things now. I am talking about the human heart."
After saying this, he pointed to the position of his heart and looked at Wang Zheng seriously.
"I still don't quite understand what you mean." Wang Zheng said silently.
"The human heart is the most difficult thing to guess in this world. It changes all the time." Gu Xia said softly, "Why do people commit crimes? Instinct? Desire? I think these guesses are all wrong. What really drives people to commit crimes is the heart. Once a person's psychology is distorted, any small thing will make them commit a crime, and they may even enjoy the process of committing a crime."
"This is also the reason why society needs you." Wang Zheng said with a smile. He knew that Gu Xia was a psychology expert, and if he took off this title, he would also be a well-known psychologist in China and abroad.
"No." Gu Xia looked at Wang Zheng seriously and said, "This is also the reason why I asked you to join the task force, because you can hear the psychological characteristics of the murderer, so we need you."
Wang Zheng was stunned, and suddenly felt a little helpless at this moment. He suddenly didn't know how to answer Gu Xia's words.
"Here is the case file. If you think you can get out of the shadow of losing control, I welcome you to come." Gu Xia stood up, took his handbag from the luggage rack, pulled out a file and held it in his hand. "Of course, if you think you can't do it, you can get off at the next station. I won't force you. You will still be my student, the best student."
"I……"
Wang Zheng bit his lips tightly, as if he was in some kind of struggle. After a long time, he finally stretched out his hand and grabbed the file in Gu Xia's hand.
But at that moment he suddenly felt his body become heavy. It was not until much later that he realized that the weight was called responsibility.
