Chapter 3045 Mercury Notes (V)

Chapter 3019 Mercury (5)

“There are some people in this world who have no vision. It’s not that they have poor vision, but that they don’t have it at all. They don’t have a standard for judging everything, and they can’t tell whether most things are good or bad, especially whether they like it or not. Like, it’s hard to hear true praise and rejection of something from their mouths.”

"Many people think that this is just because they are more reserved and do not evaluate easily. They think that they have thoughts in their hearts but are not willing to express them verbally."

"But in fact it is not. Some people have lost the ability to judge their own preferences. This is a sign of excessive interference with the self."

“Every time they build themselves up or go through life, their choices are always questioned and despised. The positive feedback of making choices and reaping results is completely suppressed by the negative feedback of criticism and questioning, which makes making choices difficult for them. Speaking itself has become a painful thing.”

"Positive feedback is gradually weakened, so that they cannot feel the joy of choosing something they like and getting a sense of security. Over time, the like no longer exists."

"Their preferences begin to rely on others or public judgment. It may become that if someone says something is good, they think they like it, or if most people say it is good, they feel it is real. good."

"And if they get this thing, they usually feel that it is really good under the influence of psychological suggestion, and if it really causes them trouble, they will first doubt themselves."

"Recovering one's own perspective is a long process. Psychiatrists need to guide patients to make continuous decisions, discover their subtle emotions about each decision, and serve as external positive feedback to help them establish their own preferences."

"What if the excavation is wrong?" Gordon asked.

"There is no right or wrong." Schiller replied: "The psychiatrist only needs you to recover. Whether you like pink or blue has no impact on the psychiatrist or yourself."

"Maybe you should have preferred pink, but under the guidance of a psychiatrist, you feel that you prefer blue, but in fact this is not important. What is important is that you dare to like blue, which makes you healthier ”

"Every time I hear you say this, I feel a little scary." Gordon said sincerely: "This seems to be able to fundamentally change a person easily."

"It's not that simple, but it can be done, so psychiatrists have very strict evaluation procedures and have to undergo regular psychotherapy. But the more pessimistic thing is that if the psychiatrist just wants to do bad things, then these evaluations can't stop him. theirs.”

"Can we only rely on morality?"

"Yes, but the premise of what I'm saying is that the other person is an extremely good psychiatrist. If he is not good enough, good or bad will be meaningless. He is just a waste who cheats money."

"Let's get back to the topic. I roughly understand what the oil barrels you said represent, but what about the flames? You said the flames represent rebirth. Is this some kind of religious meaning?"

"It can be said that your level of psychoanalysis is only higher than Bruce, Chief Gordon. There is no religious suggestion in this serial murder case."

"Okay, thank you for the compliment, let's continue."

"It's the same execution in an oil barrel. If he chose to use water, I would think that his mental condition has not improved and he is still expressing his suffocating and painful emotions. Why should I not say more."

"Yes, talking about water always makes people think of suffocation."

"The same goes for fire, but the difference is that when a person is roasted to death, he undergoes a qualitative change. This is a physical problem, and I shouldn't need to explain it."

"His act of trapping people in oil barrels shows that he is using the victim as a metaphor for himself, and infers that he is saying that he has undergone a qualitative change, and then contacting the treatment methods I mentioned shows that he is going to Expressing that through treatment, he has undergone qualitative changes and gained a new life.”

"Okay, I understand somewhat." Gordon nodded and said, "Use the oil barrel to judge the mental state, and then use the mental state to infer the meaning of the way of death."

"Yes, this is psychoanalysis. We start from the mental state, and feel the other party's mental state when committing the crime from the details at the scene, and then infer various implications from this."

"What about behavioral analysis?"

"It's completely the opposite. They will first pay attention to the way of death. For example, the person in the oil barrel was roasted to death. From this, they can guess, is the murderer venting his anger? Is it a metaphor for his past? Is it to express something about himself? kind of thought?”

"Then we eliminate each case one by one through more details in the case, and finally get the correct answer."

"They won't pay attention to the oil drums?"

"Maybe, but they are more concerned about where the oil barrel came from, and whether they can find the prisoner's movement track through the location where the oil barrel once existed. As for why the oil barrel was chosen, they will only consider the thermal conductivity of the metal that caused the death of the prisoner. Is there any time for evacuation between the time required and the time when the police can find the body?”

"I understand." Gordon felt that he really understood. He said, "Sure enough, behavioral analysis is more reliable."

Schiller was not angry, he just said: "It's just more understandable to ordinary people."

"Yes, I don't understand what mental emptiness or squeezing is, but I know that if I can find traces of the oil barrel, I might be able to deduce the murderer's trajectory."

"Okay, let's talk about the third case." Schiller picked up the photo beside him and was about to speak when the door was knocked.

Killer Croc walked over to open the door. Bruce was outside. Killer Croc immediately grinned and said, "You are finally here. You don't know how hot Gotham is this summer. If you came a few days earlier, you would have melted on the asphalt road."

"It's because I knew that I came back a few days later. Fortunately, it's not so hot recently. Here, your dried fish." Bruce handed a bag of things in his hand to Killer Croc.

Killer Croc took it happily, blinked at him and said, "Come in, your good professor is studying some murder case again. You'd better not mess with him, or he will throw you into the oil barrel."

After that, Killer Croc sat on the bed and started eating his dried fish. Bruce stuck his head in first. Schiller turned his head and saw his eight teeth, and immediately felt a headache.

"What are you doing standing outside the door?" Schiller said, "Don't disturb the nurses. Come in."

After Bruce came in, he put his things on the windowsill next to him. Schiller looked up, but then turned his eyes to the photo.

Bruce dragged a chair to sit across from the table, looked at the things on the table, and found that it was not his thesis, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Schiller looked up at him again, looked him up and down, and said, "It seems that you don't have much time to write a paper recently."

Bruce's prepared series of remarks were all choked back into his stomach. He coughed awkwardly twice and said, "I really don't have time. I can't write anything when I'm busy..."

"You didn't write anything when you were not busy. What did you bring?"

"Oh." Bruce stretched out his arm, took the things on the windowsill, and opened them and said, "The Wayne Group's newly developed thermos has dense ice in the interlayer. Whether it is hot water or cold water, the insulation effect is very good. If the lid is not opened, the temperature can be maintained for about two months."

Schiller took it and looked at it, but he didn't see any difference from other thermos. He stood up and went to the side and poured some hot water into it.

Bruce looked up at the ultraviolet light above, and then saw a glass of water in front of him, with steam rising from it.

"Let me confirm first, Professor, you don't have fangs now, right?"

Schiller rolled his eyes slightly and said, "If I wanted to poison you, would you still be alive now?"

Bruce smiled awkwardly and took a sip of the hot water. Schiller looked at him again when he sat down, and then said while drinking water, "You've lost a lot of weight. Have you given up your muscle-building plan?"

"I don't have much time to do that. Of course, I think it's good to be thinner, which can be significantly different from other Batmans."

"I'm going to talk to Commissioner Gordon about the third case. Has he shown you the photos?"

Bruce shook his head, took out a laptop from his bag, and said, "I have another task. I have to decipher the code left at the crime scene."

"Then go to that table over there and don't touch my photos."

Bruce had no choice but to hold the computer and go to the table next to him. Killer Croc also moved a stool and sat next to him, watching him study the string of letters.

Schiller reconnected and said to Gordon: "Sorry, Bruce is here. He should be deciphering the code at the crime scene."

"No hurry, let's talk about your opinion on the third case."

"He is saying goodbye to the past."

"Who?"

"The murderer, the murderer is saying goodbye to his past."

"The way to say goodbye is to pierce the person on a wooden pillar?"

"There are three meanings. Which one do you want to hear first?"

"Any one is fine. You naturally have your order."

"This is why I respect you, Chief Gordon. You are considerate and don't seem like a Gotham person."

"No, professor, you have been poisoned by that group of students for too long."

"Thank you, the culprit is sitting next to you."

The two did not discuss this topic for too long, but started talking about the third case. Schiller moved the photo in front of him with his fingers and said while looking at it.

"This must be the last case, because the murderer has adopted a structure that echoes the beginning and the end, which is exactly the first aspect I want to talk about."

"The first case is separate, scattered, irregular, and unfixed, while the third case is aggregated, concentrated, individual, and firmly nailed. This is a contrasting technique."

"But at the same time, this is also a child's game. Scrambling the building blocks and nailing the insects seem to be a way for children to explore the world, but in fact it reflects the human desire to break the rules, destroy order, and destroy life. It represents the other party's view that children are born chaotic and disorderly. This is the theme of the two cases. "

"Same and different, they can naturally achieve a perfect echo."

"Apart from the structure, the second aspect is to reflect the change of the murderer's own mental state, from torn to complete, from chaos to unity, from over-exposed flat to concentrated and confident vertical, this is a complete growth process."

"Does he feel that he has been cured?"

"In fact, he has been cured. From the last case, we can see that his mental state is quite healthy now. He has grown from a mental patient to an antisocial element."

"What kind of growth is this?"

"From a psychological point of view, he has indeed grown up."

"Okay, what about another aspect?"

"As I said before, he wants to say goodbye to the past. The body in the last case is a totem."

"Totem?"

"Yes, it is something used by humans in primitive society for sacrifice and marking positions. He wanted to commemorate his growth, so he put people vertically on wooden stakes. There is no doubt that this is a totem."

"If you want me to summarize this serial murder case, then I would think it is private. He does not want to express his views on the world, but just tell the world about himself. He does not even want anyone to understand. He just commemorates himself."

"What do you think of his performance, professor?"

"As I said before, choice is It's just a choice, there is no success or failure. He has deeply understood this, so he didn't think about how well he did it, he just wanted to finish it. "

"He prepared and started at his own pace. No matter what the result is, being able to take this step means that he has found a new self and he has recovered. "

"But he didn't expect you to understand. "

"Maybe, but he didn't expect me to be happy for him. In any case, there is one less mental patient in the world. "

"But there is one more antisocial element. "

"No, Sheriff, he won't kill again. This will be his last work. He will do something he prefers to do. "

"What is that?"

Just when he said this, Schiller heard someone knocking on the door again. This time he was closer to the door, so he walked forward to open it.

Standing outside the door was Edward Nygma.
