Paranormal incident investigation notes

While investigating a total of 54 suicide cases, Zhang Dingshan also contacted Lu Qingliang and asked him to mobilize a team with expertise in suicide psychology to help with the analysis.

From the moment a person is stimulated by the environment and finally has suicidal thoughts, to making the decision to commit suicide, and then finally committing suicide, each step involves complex and profound psychological changes. Studying these things can help suicide victims get out of trouble and start a new life again.

This is what the psychology of suicide studies.

When the person from the suicide psychology research team arrived, Lu Ming saw that this person actually knew Feng Guozhu.

She was a well-maintained middle-aged woman in her forties. She wears glasses and has a very intellectual and elegant air.

"Director Feng, we meet again."

The woman shook hands with Feng Guozhu, and Feng Guozhu's face was full of emotion.

"It's been ten years, hey."

After chatting with Feng Guozhu for a moment, she looked at Zhang Dingshan and the others.

"Introduce yourself. My name is Yang Liu, and I am currently doing research on suicide psychology. Well... almost ten years ago, I visited Blue Lake City. At that time, Bureau Feng invited me to come here to do a study on suicide probability. .”

Lu Ming recalled that he had seen in the files of this case that Feng Guozhu had been paying attention to these abnormal suicide cases for a long time.

Unfortunately, even after ten years, the final reason why those people inexplicably chose to commit suicide has still not been determined.

"Hello, Professor Yang."

"I'm glad to see the investigation of this case restarted. Please rest assured, Chief Zhang, that I will do my best to cooperate with your work. Over the years, when I think of the faces of the deceased who committed suicide for no apparent reason, I feel like I'm feeling depressed. It's like a stone. Now that you are here, there is finally hope..."

Professor Yang Liu’s words were full of heaviness.

Zhang Dingshan was full of solemnity.

"We will do our best."

After exchanging pleasantries, everyone immediately got into work mode.

There are a total of 54 suicide cases, which are fully unfolded around the social relationships of the deceased, such as colleagues, friends, relatives, lovers, and social-level records, such as online shopping, Internet browsing, travel, finance, medical treatment, bulk consumption, etc. Screening.

The security officers, under the leadership of several members of the second operation team, collected and verified the information. The team led by Professor Yang Liu was responsible for analyzing the psychological changes of the deceased from the information and determining the suicide caused by these things. Unreasonable or not.

If you analyze it in detail, this work is actually very tedious. After all, these are not direct evidence, but indirect evidence. Besides, after such a long time, the memory of the deceased person’s social relationships is likely to be biased.

But this work must be done. This is the only way to verify "whether placing a Bagua mirror is effective in preventing unreasonable suicide."

If it is verified that placing the Bagua Mirror is useless, then the line of Zhoujia Archway on Nanlin Street can be temporarily put down. But it would be interesting if the results were opposite, and it turned out that placing Bagua mirrors was effective.

Now, let’s do it step by step and just check it out.

After more than a week of busy work, the verification of these 54 suicide cases was finally completed.

"After investigation, 51 of these cases have sufficient evidence to prove that the suicide of the suicide is reasonable. In addition, there are two cases that cannot be judged due to lack of key evidence. Only one case, No. 36, Shi Ruiwu's suicide case , it can be confirmed that there is unreasonableness.”

Shi Ruiwu committed suicide three years ago.

He is a native of Blue Lake City, and his family background can only be described as average. He himself has no academic qualifications and cannot find a good job. He usually relies on odd jobs to make a living. My family has an old house on the outskirts of the city, where I live with my parents.

Later, he finally got married and planned to buy a new house and live separately from his parents. After all, this old house is too small to fit in, and it is inconvenient. If you give birth to a child in the future, it will be even more crowded.

Based on this goal, Shi Ruiwu changed jobs and found a job delivering canned natural gas to Nanlin Street Hotel.

Here on Nanlin Street, some stores are connected to household natural gas pipelines. However, the pressure of domestic natural gas pipelines is insufficient and can only meet daily household cooking needs. However, restaurant cooking requires strong fire, which ordinary household natural gas pipelines cannot meet.

From this, a need was born, that is, to purchase canned natural gas from the outside world.

Shi Ruiwu's job is to pour natural gas into large cylinders, deliver them to the hotel, then collect the large cylinders that have used up the natural gas, and bring them back to the store for re-canning.

It should be pointed out that the store that delivers canned natural gas where Shi Ruiwu works is also on Nanlin Street. But it's in an alley, relatively remote, and doesn't have as much commercial value as a street store.

As a result, Shi Ruiwu became one of the "permanent and working population" of approximately 40,000 people in Nanlin Street.

The work is hard, but the money earned is much more than before. Shi Ruiwu is a hard-working person and has plans to buy a house in the future, so he is busy all day long.

As time went by, he and his wife had conflicts. Because they lived together, the wife and her parents-in-law also had conflicts. Later, the wife became pregnant and gave birth to a child, and even greater misfortune came.

The child suffers from a certain congenital disease, and treatment requires a lot of money.

Shi Ruiwu seemed to be crushed by this misfortune. Six months after the child was born and eight days after the child was diagnosed with the disease, he cut his own throat with a dagger and committed suicide in a wasteland in the suburbs after drinking several bottles of beer.

At first, Lu Ming thought Shi Ruiwu's suicide was very reasonable.

Put yourself in another place and think about it. If you are in his situation, you will be under pressure from your wife, pressure from your parents, pressure from reality, and most importantly, pressure from your children, under pressure from many aspects. , I might also collapse, choose to die, and be done with it.

What's more, the forensic doctor at the exploration site at that time found multiple probing wounds on Shi Ruiwu's body.

Probe wounds are typical scars found on people who commit suicide. After all, suicide is an extremely important act that requires great courage. Ordinary people usually test it a few times before finally committing it, such as cutting a few times on the wrist and pricking a few times on the leg.

After most people are tempted, they will eventually be overcome by fear and give up committing suicide. But there are also a small number of ruthless people who eventually carry out their suicide plans.

There were probing wounds and a realistic situation. The security guards at the time judged that there was nothing wrong with Shi Ruiwu's suicide.

However, Professor Yang Liu expressed a different opinion.

"I agree that Shi Ruiwu died of suicide, but I don't think his motive for committing suicide was sufficient. On the contrary, I think that under the circumstances at the time and with the character Shi Ruiwu showed, it was just impossible for him to commit suicide.

Based on the existing information, I did a psychological profile on him, and I found that he is a typical ordinary person with great ability to withstand stress. He is even similar to those farmers in ancient times who endured heavy oppression but still survived as tenaciously as weeds.

This kind of person will live tenaciously as long as he can survive, and it is impossible for him to commit suicide.

And, based on his character analysis, I think that on the premise of knowing the consequences of suicide - what are the consequences of his suicide? Any ordinary person can tell that if he commits suicide, the result will inevitably be that his child will die due to lack of treatment, his wife will leave home and remarry, and his parents will die tragically without support. How could he commit suicide?

With his tenacious and tenacious character, he will just work hard. In fact, I think that if he must die, it would be most reasonable for him to die suddenly at work because of working for many days. At least it's more reasonable than him choosing to commit suicide. "

Lu Ming had to consider the professional opinions from professionals.

In the end, this case was dug out and became the only suicide case confirmed to be unreasonable among the 54 suicide cases.

This work is now concluded. The investigation team temporarily announced its disbandment, and Professor Yang Liu also left Blue Lake City with his team.

Before getting on the bus, Professor Yang Liu turned around and came back to shake hands with Zhang Dingshan, Lu Ming and He Wei again.

She seemed to want to say something, but in the end nothing came out. Lu Ming judged the thoughts in her heart from the strength with which she tightened her hands.

She wanted to ask a few of her people to find out the truth of the matter, but she felt that it was inappropriate to say these things in her own capacity, or because of other concerns, she finally said nothing.

Lu Ming looked at her and nodded slightly but vigorously.

I know what you are thinking. Not only you, I also know Bureau Feng, and I also know the common thoughts of everyone who has participated in or knows about this case.

Find out the truth, comfort the deceased, and comfort those who have fallen into the abyss because of the death of the deceased.

Ten years ago, Zhang Lu died. Her parents' hair turned gray within half a month. Three years ago, Shi Ruiwu died. His child died, his wife divorced, and his parents were left homeless.

There are too many such people in Blue Lake City.

Farewell to Professor Yangliu, the three returned to the internal conference room again. Lu Qingliang's figure also appeared on the computer screen and participated in the subsequent discussion.

At this moment, all four of them realized that these data were abnormal.

"Let me tell you."

Zhang Dingshan broke the silence.

"Among the permanent residents and working population of Nanlin Street, after screening, there are only two abnormal suicide cases, Wu Biao and Shi Ruiwu. The number is too small. Even if we add those two unidentified cases, there are only four in total. , still too few. Abnormally few."

Lu Ming, He Wei, and Lu Qingliang on the computer screen nodded at the same time.

It's really not normal.

"According to previous statistics, the more times people from outside Nanlin Street come to Nanlin Street, the higher the probability of abnormal suicide. Based on this statistical result, a reasonable situation should be that those who stay in Nanlin Street for a long time will The probability of abnormal suicide among the permanent residents and working population of Lin Street should be higher. Why is it lower?"

After all, they are the ones who have stayed in Nanlin Street the longest and come to Nanlin Street the most.

So, how to explain this phenomenon?

Lu Ming said with some seriousness: "Although it feels ridiculous,...it seems that the only explanation is the Bagua Mirror."

Shops on Nanlin Street have the custom of placing Bagua mirrors to ward off misfortune.

The more times one visits Nanlin Street, the higher the probability of abnormal suicide.

The probability of abnormal suicide among local residents of Nanlin Street is extremely low.

Combining the three, we can only deduce such a conclusion.

Placing Bagua mirrors reduces the incidence of abnormal suicide cases.

This is ridiculous, but it is the reality faced by the four members of the second team.

Combined with the origin of the custom of placing Bagua mirrors in shops on Nanlin Street, that is, "the evil ghosts and evil spirits were suppressed under the Zhou family archway, and the demolition of the Zhou family archway released them, and they want to cause trouble and possess people and harm others." The logic of the whole thing becomes clearer.

Because all the shops on Nanlin Street have Bagua mirrors, those evil ghosts and evil spirits cannot possess them and harm the local residents of Nanlin Street. Either they have a very low probability of success, or they can only harm people when the Bagua mirror is damaged. In short, evil evil spirits can harm people. Very few local residents of Nanlin Street died.

But outsiders are not protected by the Bagua Mirror, so the more times they come, the higher the chance of being targeted and killed by evil spirits. This resulted in the current situation.

The four of them realized at the same time that this inference must not be spread outside until it was finally confirmed. Even Feng Guozhu couldn't tell.

Because once this speculation spreads, even if it spreads only as a rumor, it will cause a devastating blow to the business ecology of Nanlin Street. This will involve the livelihoods of countless thousands of people, and even affect the overall development of Blue Lake City.

Even if we find out the truth in the end and prove that it has nothing to do with Nanlin Street, Nanlin Street will never be able to recover.

It is always more difficult to refute rumors than to make them.

This kind of thing must be done with caution.

After a moment of silence, Lu Ming said slowly: "I personally don't believe in the existence of evil ghosts. Maybe there is another mechanism, a mechanism that is logical and consistent with scientific thinking that causes this phenomenon. But in any case, reality The data all show that placing Bagua mirrors has some impact on this mechanism. So now, it is important to figure out what this impact is."

Even if it is really evil ghosts and evil spirits causing trouble, why can placing a Bagua Mirror eliminate this harm? There has to be a reason for this, right?

Of course Lu Ming didn't believe that this was the truth, but he also knew that even if it wasn't the truth, it would still be enlightening for finding the truth.

The truth is often hidden beneath the bizarre and eccentric appearances.

Placing the Bagua mirror can prevent the evil spirits from being harmed by the evil spirits who broke through the seal because the Zhou family archway was demolished. This idea was put forward by the original master.

Since he said this, and reality has proven that doing so does have some effect, then he should know why.

Zhang Dingshan made a final decision: "Find that master."

Happy May Day to everyone.

It's holiday, has everyone gone out to play? Poor author, you are still struggling to type.
