Criminal Psychology

The dome mountain is in the southwest of Hongjing. It is nearly kilometers above sea level, surrounded by clouds and mist all year round.

When the weather changes from sunny to rain, the scenery here is the best. Wet water vapor condenses on the rock wall, rubs over the moss, and finally merges into a creek stream along the fine cracks.

The creek between the valleys is the campsite of the Dome Mountain Scenic Area. From a distance, the whole camp is colorful. There are countless camping tents and countless people who are building tents.

More importantly, among those people, there are many children.

Cao Qianzhi is an ordinary elementary school teacher at Fengjing School. Today is the day of the collective spring trip for the first-year students of Fengjing School. The location will be located in the dome mountain southwest of Hongjing.

He stood by the camp and watched the staff posing as mountain people bring a goat for the children. The children seemed to have seen the moving goats and stabbed around the goats, looking very excited.

Cao Qianzhi's eyes moved from the goat to the water, and some children watched the fish by the stream. They squeezed together and seemed to be discussing how to fish. As a teacher, he didn't walk over to stop because the stream was very Shallow, it was an artificial landscape created intentionally. He also believed that his children would not wet their shoes and socks in the still cold early spring. .

So everything looks peaceful and harmonious.

But the anxiety in Cao Qian's heart grew heavier.

There was a rushing footstep in the distance, and Cao Qianzhi hurriedly looked around.

The teaching director and another teacher who was with him were running towards him, both of them looked dignified and shook his head at him.

"Not yet connected?" Although he knew the answer, he asked subconsciously.

"No, Master Xu couldn't get through to the phone, and Mr. An's phone turned off. The car should have arrived half an hour ago!" The director said in a low voice.

Cao Qianzhi looked at his watch. It was a long time before the scheduled meeting time.

Today the school spring tour, the school leased 6 buses to send the children to the sky. They gathered at the gate of the school early in the morning. It took about three hours to drive from the school to the dome. When they arrived, they spent a lot of time because of high-speed traffic jams, and because of the traffic jams, the order of the vehicles was completely disrupted. Therefore, several cars were separated by ten minutes before they reached the meeting place of Qiongshan Mountain.

If this is the case, it is only a small matter of delaying the trip, but after 5 buses reached the meeting point, the last bus number 3 did not arrive. On the bus, there were 26 students in the third class of the school and two leading teachers.

They always thought that the third car was left behind because of a traffic jam. They had previously tried to contact the driver and the two teachers, but the mobile phone could not be connected.

At first they thought that this was because of a bad signal in the mountainous area, but just now, the instructor and another teacher went to the scenic area management center to try to call the teacher's mobile phone. The phone was still a mechanical and cold female voice, and they realized It is likely that something happened to No. 3 car.

"Just calculate the accident, and the phone won't fail!" The female teacher on the side worried.

"Then you called the expressway?" Cao Qianzhi continued to ask.

"Hit, they said they were investigating, but haven't found it yet."

"Let's call the police." Cao Qianzhi said a moment of silence.

———

In the chairman's office of Hongjing Expressway, three telephones rang almost simultaneously.

Xun Lian stepped back half a step at his desk and took out his mobile phone; the chairman breathed a sigh of relief and picked up the landline impatiently; Liu Xing heard the assistant office phone rang and ran out.

After a while, Xun looked at Lin Chen from the company; the chairman looked stiff; Liu Xing rushed back to the room.

On the other end of the phone is the worst news.

"The Municipal Bureau just received the alarm, and a tourist bus at Fengjing School disappeared on the highway." Xing Conglian held the microphone and said to Lin Chen.

"How could it be missing? There are monitoring on the high-speed exit!" Yang Dianfeng exclaimed before grabbing Lin Chen.

Lin Chen's thin lips fluttered, and she sat on the sofa in an upright position without opening her mouth.

Xing Conglian was still answering the phone. He didn't have time to answer Yang Dianfeng's question. After a while, he suddenly looked up, held the phone with one hand, pointed the other phone with his finger, and ticked the dynasty.

The dynasty quickly responded. He took out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket and handed it to Xing Conglian. Xing Conglian motioned to give Lin Chen the cell phone.

"The school teacher will call in right away, you can pick it up," he said, telling the phone number on the other end.

Soon, the dynasty cell phone rang.

Dome Mountain Scenic Area, campsite.

Cao Qianzhi's palms were sweating, and the female teacher accompanying her had already cried, and various horror pictures constantly appeared in his mind, making him even more flustered.

The moment the call was connected, he couldn't help but shouted at the person who answered the phone: "Haven't you found the car yet? It won't really happen, what can I do!"

After he spoke, the phone was quiet for about three seconds before a voice came.

It was a calm and peaceful male voice, like the flowing water of a brook or the breeze in the mountains, slowly pouring into his ears.

"Hello, I understand your anxiety now, but that requires you to calm down, take a deep breath with me, and then answer the next question."

Of course Cao Qianzhi knows what it is to take a deep breath, but things are so urgent, there is no time to take deep breaths! He thought so, but the body could not help but follow the calm instructions on the other end of the phone, started to inhale deeply, and then exhaled.

"What time does the bus leave from school?"

"6:30."

"Well, I now need to remember carefully, when was the last time you saw that school bus."

The voice was still calm and mellow, but this question caused Cao Qianzhi to panic again: "I don't remember!" He was confused, and then subconsciously blurted out, "Every car is the same, I can't tell!

At the other end of the phone, the young man holding the cell phone seemed to have expected this. He put down his pen, turned the blank paper in front of him, and turned towards the person opposite.

Opposite him was a young man wearing a peaked cap. The young man glanced at the white paper with the words "car, recent photo, call out" on the paper. He nodded and started typing on the keyboard.

The voice on the other side of the phone disappeared for a few seconds. Cao Qianzhi even felt that the wind in the mountain was getting cold. He fed the phone two times, and the voice on the other side came up.

"Hello, I'm here."

The water-like words flowed out again, Cao Qianzhi relaxed a little, and then he heard the man say, "Maybe you do n’t know, but in fact human memory will not completely fade away with the passage of time. Human beings have another A set of implicit memory system, so what you forget or do not remember, in fact, our brains have been saved in another form, so I need you to calm down and remember something, at the same time I need you to remember It ’s very important that we do our best to help us determine the time cutoff point. "

At the same time, hundreds of kilometers away from the chairman's office of the highway transportation management office.

The dynasty quickly connected to the Tianyan system and called up a photo of the spring tour team gathering at the gate of Fengjing School around 6:20.

The six buses are lined up on the road in sequence, the body is pure white, the color cloud pattern is printed on it, and the words "Hongjing Foreign Affairs Vehicle Management Co., Ltd." can be discerned.

It didn't make any difference to see from the outside of several buses. The dynasty looked up anxiously, but the person on the other side disappeared. When he looked to the right, Lin Chen had no idea when he was standing beside him.

On the screen, there were white and delicate fingers passing and stayed on the third bus body.

"amplification."

According to the dynasty, when the picture was enlarged, the words "foreign affairs" on the body were getting bigger and bigger, and the other words became more blurred.

"Here."

Finger clicked a spot above the rear wheel, then quickly pulled away.

The dynasty took a closer look. At the back of the body, the place where the huge blue colorful clouds were supposed to be painted seemed to be missing a piece and looked very incomplete. It is very likely that the third car just came out of the repair shop, and the missing piece was just repaired, so the inkjet printing was eliminated.

He looked at Lin Chen subconsciously. Lin Chen had already reached the window and slowed down again: "A blue cloud is over the rear wheel of the third car, but that cloud is half missing, although you won't notice This, but your brain will surely record it. So I now need you to close your eyes and start to remember ... "

"It's on a busy high speed. There are a lot of cars around and there are children laughing in the car. Because it's a bit noisy and because you get up early, you will feel sleepy. When you walk, you will look out the window, the scenery outside the window It ’s beautiful. There are sky-reeds from there. You see cars from time to time. Suddenly, you see a car. The car is strange. The pattern on the wheels behind him seems to be missing one piece. You may only have more. I watched it for 0.1 second, but it was really weird, so you remember that picture ... "

Following the soft voice, Cao Qianzhi really returned to the noisy bus. He looked out the window, and there was just a bus passing by.

"I remember!" He raised the volume sharply. "There is such a car, but I don't know when it is!"

"Please try to see if there are any landmarks in that picture, or a green road sign, which will stand on the side of the road, very conspicuous ..."

"No, no, there are reeds all around." Cao Qian's brows frowned, as if desperately trying to grab the image that was about to fade away. "Wait a minute, I remember!" A child told me to go to the toilet, and then The driver said that he was going to the Meicun rest stop immediately! Cao Qian opened his eyes sharply.

Lin Chen quickly returned to the desk, picked up the pen, and wrote the word "Mei Cun" on the paper.

"You or the teacher by your side, do you remember what time is it to the Meicun rest stop?"

"Wait a minute, I ask."

In front of the computer, the dynasty has already called out the full map of Hongjing Expressway. While looking at the map, he calculated on the paper: "Meicun Service Station is about 130 kilometers from Hongjing to Qiongshan. The traffic jam occurred after 7:00. If you leave at 6:30, the traffic jam will be counted as a variable. When you arrive at Meicun Service Station, it will be around 8:30. "

Wang Chaogang just dropped his pen, and an urgent male voice came from the phone: "Our director said that the rest station in Meimei Village should be 8:30! I really can't remember anything else!"

The male teacher there was very guilty.

"It's fine already, thank you very much for your great help."

Seeing Lin Chen hang up, Wang Chao was relieved, and felt strange in his heart: "How do you know that the third car will be different!"

"I don't know." Lin Chen picked up the calculation paper of the technical house and said, "But at that time, I can only hope for luck."

"What if you're out of luck?"

"Unlucky, just keep trying."
