The King of the City

When the young man saw Lin Chen pointing at him, he was a little flustered, pointed his finger at his nose, and asked suspiciously, "Me?...Me?"

"Yes."

Lin Chen nodded: "It's you."

The young man wearing glasses looked at his colleagues beside him, took a few steps forward, and came to the front of the crowd.

The third deceased died in the dormitory on the 4th floor. The deceased was the leader of a workshop team. Two days before the incident, the deceased had scolded three people in the workshop.

The first is a woman in her thirties, the second is this young man with glasses, and the third is a man with a sturdy physique and sharp eyes.

"You... why did you call me?" The young man with glasses looked at Lin Chen and said nervously.

Seeing this, Gao Yuxiu's face became a little unnatural.

Lin Chen did not respond to the words of the young man with glasses. He looked at the person in the same workshop as the young man with glasses and asked, "For this colleague who wears glasses, tell me what his character and behavior are."

This workshop is the workshop where the third deceased worked. Lin Chen was in the workshop before and chatted with them for a long time.

After several workers in the workshop looked at each other, an aunt said, "He is a gentle person, and he doesn't like to talk. When talking to him, he sometimes ignores people."

"Tin is an introverted young man. Since he entered the factory, he has always been taciturn. Not only does he not like to talk, but he also does not like to laugh," said a female worker.

The man with sharp eyes in the workshop looked at the young man with glasses and said, "This kid is fast wood, not humorous at all. Last time I saw a joke and told it to everyone, and everyone in the workshop was very impressed. He laughed, but he didn't laugh..."

"I asked him why he didn't laugh. He lowered his head and ignored me, so I tickled him, but he wasn't ticklish."

Several other colleagues also spoke up, talking about the young man with glasses.

"Is there any problem with this worker's character?" Miao Yunfei asked.

Lin Chen glanced at Miao Yunfei and said, "After I contacted the smiling corpse case and saw the smiling face that was cut by a knife on the deceased's face, I began to analyze the murderer's psychology."

"The murderer kills, there are vendettas, there are psychopaths, and they kill people at will. This murderer, after killing people, uses that sharp boning knife to draw a smile on the face of every deceased."

"What was the murderer's purpose in doing this? Why did he cut out a smiling face?"

"I speculate based on psychology that the murderer's psychology is abnormal first, and secondly, he has an obsession or stubbornness with smiling faces."

"After killing someone, cut a smiley face on the deceased's face. The murderer wanted the deceased to smile at himself. This shows that the deceased did not smile or had a very unfriendly attitude towards the murderer before he died."

Lin Chen glanced at the group of workers, and continued: "Why does the murderer care so much about smiling? Maybe the murderer is very depressed, maybe he has experienced very bleak things, and maybe the people he cares about never smile at him."

"A psychopathic person with a depressed heart. In life, he is generally taciturn, does not like to talk, does not like to communicate with others, and is immersed in his lonely world."

Just after Lin Chen finished speaking, the young man with glasses suddenly raised his head, stared at Lin Chen with a pair of eyes, and asked, "You said this... You mean I don't like to laugh or talk, I... ... am I the murderer?"

The workers who heard this glanced at each other and discussed in a low voice.

Lin Chen shook his head and said, "This is just my inference about the character of the murderer based on the murderer's modus operandi. The inference cannot be used as a basis for conviction. Listen to me and continue."

"Okay, you say." The young man with glasses stretched out his hand and pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, looking not panic at all.

Lin Chen looked at the young man with glasses and said, "Based on my inference about the murderer's character, and according to the fact that the deceased had a holiday with the murderer before his death, the murderer wanted to see the deceased smile at himself, so my attention was locked on you at that time. on the body."

"Your team leader is grumpy and likes to scold people. Two days before he was killed, you and two other people were reprimanded by the team leader."

"Among the three of you, only you are taciturn, keep your head down, and don't like to talk. When I was talking to you, you smiled at me, a real smile. When you smile, the denominations on both sides will rise. , the skin under the eyes will wrinkle, there will even be crow's feet, and the sides of the face will be wider, but you don't, your smile is fake."

"."I don't like to laugh, I think your words are not funny, but out of politeness, I smiled on purpose, what's wrong?" The young man with glasses responded.

"Lin Chen, I also know the person wearing glasses. The third deceased scolded him before he died, but the deceased just scolded him twice. Could this constitute a motive for murder?" Ma Zhiyu retorted.

He refuted this point, and many people present had the same question.

It is normal for employees to be scolded by the team leader, the director, and the boss for doing something wrong. It is also a bit unreasonable to kill someone if they are scolded for a few words.

Lin Chen glanced back at Ma Zhiyu and said, "Ordinary people will only feel unhappy and unhappy when they are scolded, but..."

When it came to but, (Qian Zhao) Lin Chen looked at the young man with glasses again and said, "But you are not a normal person."

"You're not a normal person, who are you scolding." The young man with glasses said angrily.

"Zhuo Xingdi, you suffer from neurasthenia, right?" Lin Chen asked, Zhuo Xingdi was the name of a young man with glasses.

Zhuo Xingdi was slightly stunned, and then said: "Yes, I suffer from neurasthenia, this is my personal physical reason, what's wrong?"

"Tell me why you suffer from neurasthenia." Lin Chen said.

Zhuo Xingdi said: "I have neurasthenia. It was a thing in the past. It is much better now. I have neurasthenia. Does it have anything to do with this case?"

Lin Chen said slowly: "The occurrence of a case is intricately related. If you don't want to say how you got neurasthenia, I can tell you."

Hearing this, Zhuo Xingdi frowned. After hesitating for a few seconds, he said, "Okay, you say."

Lin Chen looked at him and said, "You told me that your hometown is in Mingu County, and I drove to the county where you were last night. After my investigation, I learned that you studied in high school. The grades are very good, you are in the top class, and your grades have always been far ahead."

"The teachers and principals at the time felt that if you maintain that level, when you take the college entrance examination, it is very likely that you will be admitted to Kyoto University. Kyoto University is a dream of Huaxia students. As far as rural families are concerned, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are honoring their ancestors.”

"But just a few months before the college entrance examination, in a mock exam, you performed abnormally, from the first in the whole year to the 15th in the whole year."

"15th in the whole year, this result is already very good, but for you, this is a very big mistake. This mistake makes you feel annoyed and regretful, why did you play abnormally?"

"After that exam, your mentality changed. In the second mock exam, your grades fell again, from 15th grade to 37th grade."

"Since you failed the 227 exam for the first time, you were immersed in frustration, anxiety and irritability. You forced yourself to study more and memorize more, but the more anxious and impatient, the more counterproductive it was."
