Detective Files II

Chapter 152 The Stockholm Effect

Tian Mi walked all the way without looking back.

In fact, even if she didn't look back, she knew that Lu Xiangdong was not far behind her. Several times, she was so angry that she wanted to stop and turn around to scold him, telling him not to follow her anymore, but after thinking about it, she held back , if that freak throws out the sentence "Whoever stipulates to follow this path is to follow you", then she will really cheat her lungs.

What's the matter!

When I arrested Xing Junting in the morning, I was really afraid that Lu Xiangdong, a teacher who talked all day long, would encounter some danger because of being a hero, so I hurried up to rescue him, but it was just a kind of professional instinct, or it was because of my personality. She, Tian Mi, has never been the kind of person who repays favors, not to mention, she doesn't feel that Lu Xiangdong really owes herself much.

Just like what the freak himself said, if he hadn't thought carefully and found out the side door of the reception hall in advance, and blocked there early, maybe Xing Junting has not been caught until now.

The matter is obviously so simple, she saved Lu Xiangdong, and Lu Xiangdong also helped her, but Lu Xiangdong acted as if he would use the excuse of helping him to make money in the future, and do such egregious things, so he couldn't wait want to draw a line.

Is he that unbearable in his mind?Tian Mi thought bitterly.

In fact, she didn't understand why she was so angry because of Lu Xiangdong's words this time. Maybe it was because she didn't like being seen all over her personality!
This was the best reason she could find for herself.

After walking a long distance, Tian Mi saw a bus stop. She went to look around and was lucky to find a bus that could go to the police station. After waiting for a while, the bus arrived. There were not many passengers on the bus, Tian Mi got on the bus and found a seat to sit down, and saw Lu Xiangdong also got on the bus.

Since it was a bus, it was a public area, of course she had no right not to allow Lu Xiangdong to take the same bus as her, so she could only ignore him with a stinky face.

After wandering in the car for more than 40 minutes, when Tian Mi was almost falling asleep, she finally arrived at the stop.

Lu Xiangdong also got off the bus at the same stop, Tian Mi still ignored him and let him follow from a distance, when he turned into the gate of the Public Security Bureau, Tian Mi took a peek behind him and found that Lu Xiangdong had disappeared at some point .

What about people?Where did it go?Tian Mi wondered, then raised her hand and knocked herself on the head.

Where has he gone has nothing to do with you!Angrily, she scolded herself in her heart for eating the radish first and not worrying, it would be better to leave, so as not to be an eyesore.

It was almost midnight. The reason why Tian Mi went back to the bureau was to go back and look at the previous investigation results and listen to what the forensic doctor said. I spent half the night in the bureau, and after dawn I had to find out the identity of the deceased.

After returning to the police station, the first news I received was a bit depressing. There were no fingerprints of the murderer on the deceased, and the fingerprints of the deceased could not be found in the system of the Public Security Bureau. It seemed that he was a person with a relatively clean history.

Fortunately, Wang Chun came right after, bringing with him some identification conclusions just drawn.

When he opened the door and saw Tian Mi was there, Wang Chun smiled: "I was still wondering if there would be someone on your side, but it turned out that everyone in your group is a workaholic!"

"Wang Fayi, have you just finished your work?" Tian Mi heard someone pushing the door and came in, she quickly looked up, and when she saw Wang Chun coming in, she greeted her warmly and told her to come and sit down, ignoring the pain in her heart. A moment of disappointment: "Any new discoveries?"

"Look at you, as soon as I said you were a workaholic, you couldn't wait to prove me right!" Wang Chun smiled and handed the report to Tian Mi, saying, "The deceased died of suffocation. It was caused by someone covering his mouth and nose and choking his neck. There were lacerations on his lower body due to being raped, but no bodily fluids were found. Several bruises appeared on his body. Judging from the location of the distribution, the deceased was being raped. Sometimes I struggled, but it was not severe, which may have something to do with the fact that my hands were tied."

While listening to Wang Chun's description, Tian Mi flipped through the forensic report at hand: "But even if your hands are tied, you still have your legs. If you really want to struggle, you shouldn't give up easily just because your hands are tied. ?”

"Well, I can't say it. I can only find the answer from the dead body. I can't figure out the psychological activities when I was alive!" Wang Chunai spread his hands helplessly.

While speaking, the door of the serious crime team was pushed open again, and the two girls cast their gazes over at the same time. The person who came was Lu Xiangdong who had just disappeared outside the gate of the Public Security Bureau.

He was still carrying two plastic bags in his hand, and as soon as he entered the door, a faint fragrance wafted in with the wind.

"Ms. Lu, it's so late and you haven't gone back to rest yet!" Wang Chun saw Lu Xiangdong and stood up politely.

Lu Xiangdong's attitude towards her was still very alienated, he nodded coldly, walked over and put a plastic bag in front of Tian Mi.

Tian Mi looked at the wontons in the plastic lunch box in front of her, her face was expressionless, and she didn't say a word.

Wang Chun is a discerning person, of course he sensed the low air pressure in the office after Lu Xiangdong entered the door, and could see Tian Mi's face cooling down.

"Are you so busy that you haven't eaten yet?" She quickly asked Tian Mi: "Look at you, you can't start not paying attention to taking care of your body at a young age. It would be bad if your body broke down!"

Hearing what she said, Tian Mi suddenly asked: "Sister Wang Chun, have you been busy with the autopsy since you came back from the crime scene?"

Wang Chun nodded.

"Have you been so busy that you haven't eaten yet?"

"Not yet, I plan to go back and make some noodles later." Wang Chun replied.

"That's just right, this bowl of wontons is for you to eat!" Tian Mi immediately pushed the lunch box in front of Wang Chun when she heard this.

Wang Chun looked at Tian Mi with a troubled face, and then at Lu Xiangdong who was silent beside him: "This is not good, did you not have dinner? Teacher Lu bought it for you, right?"

"I'm very full, you can eat it, or you'll be wasting food if you put it in the cold and throw it away." Tian Mi replied resolutely.

Wang Chun glanced at Lu Xiangdong again, seeing that he didn't respond, Tian Mi was very persistent, so he picked up the plastic bag and said to Tian Mi and Lu Xiangdong: "It's getting late, I'll go back first."

After walking a few steps, she turned around and smiled at Lu Xiangdong and said, "Ms. Lu, thank you for the wontons!"

As soon as Wang Chun left, Tian Mi's stomach made a loud grunt, and she hurriedly cleared her throat in embarrassment, trying to hide the growling of her stomach's hunger.

"Aren't you very full?" Lu Xiangdong sat down at the table opposite Tian Mi with a faint smile on his face.

It is indeed very full, but it is just very full.Tian Mi answered quietly in her heart.

Lu Xiangdong didn't expect to hear her answer, so he took out the lunch box from another plastic bag and opened the lid. Immediately, the smell of wontons wafted out. Tian Mi sniffled, feeling even hungrier.

"Eat." Lu Xiangdong pushed the lunch box in front of Tian Mi.

Tian Mi ignored her, got up and took a bowl of instant noodles from her cabinet, quickly tore off the packaging, soaked them in hot water, and brought them to the table.

The moment Lu Xiangdong put down the noodle bowl, he quickly picked it up and moved it in front of him.

"What are you doing?!" Tian Mi stared at him angrily, and asked loudly.

"Don't worry, your life-saving grace is so great, I won't try to buy it out with a bowl of wonton." Lu Xiangdong looked at her guarded expression and said with a smile.

Tian Mi was stunned, but she still didn't trust her: "What do you mean?"

"It means, take back what I said tonight."

"Then you're not afraid that I'll blackmail you with the excuse that I saved you?" Tian Mi asked angrily.

"I guess with your IQ, it would be difficult to realize it," Lu Xiangdong put the wonton in front of Tian Mi again, and helped her break off the chopsticks: "So I have nothing to worry about."

Tian Mi glanced at him, took the lunch box bluntly, and took a big mouthful of soup. The fragrant hot soup flowed into her stomach, which made her feel very comfortable, and even her mood improved a lot.

"You disappeared for a long time after getting off the car just now, just to buy two bowls of wontons?" Tian Mi asked while eating.

"It's too late, I only found this for hot meals." Lu Xiangdong obviously got it wrong.

After hearing this, Tian Mi didn't know what to say.

Fortunately, Lu Xiangdong had something to say, he asked Tian Mi: "The forensic doctor came here just now to give you a report?"

"That's right!" When the case was brought up, Tian Mi's chatterbox opened up again, and she regained her radiance, as if the angry girl she had never existed before.

After hearing Tian Mi's question about the deceased who struggled slightly before being killed, Lu Xiangdong didn't think it was an incomprehensible question.

"It's very simple," he said: "The Stockholm effect, when many victims are victimized by crimes, they will develop feelings of dependence or sympathy for the offender."

"I've heard about this case of the Stockholm Effect, where a bank employee falls in love with a robber. What do you mean...?" Tian Mi finds this statement a bit unbelievable.

Lu Xiangdong shook his head: "A psychological phenomenon will not only be projected into a single reaction. You said that is just a manifestation of the Stockholm effect. There is also a reaction to trust the criminal."

"You mean, the victim believed that the murderer's so-called obedient cooperation and non-resistance would not hurt her?"

"Yes, that's what I mean," Lu Xiangdong nodded, "Because he was afraid of being hurt, he chose to believe the murderer's lies, but in the end he still couldn't avoid the result of death."

"If that's the case, then it would be interesting." Tian Mi frowned and murmured.
