"Criminal Psychology" 3000 words:
"Criminal Psychology" is a mystery-solving novel published in Jinjiang by the author Chang'er in 2015. It contains 5 stories in total. The first few stories were originally published in the magazine "The Most Reasonable" and the author rewritten it, and finally formed the current Danmei novel.
on the subject matter, this book is highly similar to "Silent Reading". Both describe 5 cases, how the police solved it, the stories are related to each other, and finally reaching their climax. But the difference is that "Silent Reading" prefers solid logical reasoning, and this book focuses on the multiple applications of psychology in criminal investigation.
The protagonist of the story is a very powerful psychological profiler, Lin Chen . Due to a vicious terrorist incident four years ago, Lin Chen was hated by a family of northern and southern countries. The four major families that covered the sky with one hand forced Lin Chen to live a life of silence and become a small dormitory manager in a remote countryside. Perhaps just as darkness and light followed, the opportunity accompanies the undissipated conspiracy led Lin Chen to meet the destined person.
Xing Cong Company, the captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade, seems to be an ordinary criminal policeman, with a shaved beard and likes food stalls. But his whole body was full of fantasy colors. For example, his multinational mixed race, his green eyes, the talented IT boy around him, his mansion, his surname homophones with the mysterious big family, his unusually calm mentality and extremely sensitive thinking, these disharmonious places suggest his extraordinaryness.
These factors made Lin Chen, who was born gay, have an initial favorable impression of him, but this does not mean anything. After all, in the first case "Yi Sand", Lin Chen couldn't wait to pretend to die, leaving behind the tombstones erected by Xing Conglian and the white lily flowers.
In the second case, "Two Ways", Lin Chen unexpectedly encountered a highway bus robber - a candy thief. He was arrested by the prisoner without hiding. From then on, he started a life of solving the case with his husband and his family.
As the two men's nominal subordinates, formal children, an 18-year-old genius Kexin boy, a high-end hacker, Comrade Wang Chao is the most critical figure in this book. Without him, all cases would be difficult to solve.
Therefore, the three necessary conditions met in this book’s case are: the most powerful psychological profiler, the most intelligent and action-packer, and the most awesome and kind hacker.
"Yisha" mainly tells the story of Lin Chen's encounter with Xing Conglian. The progressive murder case with white sand as a clue is filled with strange and extreme atmosphere, such as the fruit stall owner who was slashed wildly, and the dead man moved from the hospital to the next door to him; the traces of someone lying under the morgue's corpse, and the last words of the woman who committed suicide in an extremely cruel way. Behind these supernatural events is the process of inducing others to learn how to not be afraid of suicide.
"Two Ways" is my favorite story, telling the reunion of Lin Chen and Xing Conglian. The masked teenager who hijacked the bus with a gun only ransomware, but carefully kidnapped a car of children and created fake bombs. It seems that children are just playing around, just to create chaos, but in fact they are using their tiny power to shake the powerful drug dealers. Even though I knew I was hitting the stone with an egg, I still endured humiliation and carried the burden, just to bring a small corner of the sky covered by darkness so that some sunlight could penetrate. "Young people always think that life is a journey full of fantasy, but in fact, everyone's life is just a two-way trip."
"Three Tombs" is a story that describes a terrorist extremist organization. The content is extremely dark. College students were brainwashed by terrorism, and they voluntarily buried alive or jumped off a building to commit suicide. They broadcast live on the dark web to watch and reward perverts all over the world. Not only that, the organizers behind the scenes also planned a large-scale massacre, but because the dark web information cannot be tracked, the enemy is dark, and ordinary reconnaissance methods cannot identify any time, place or suspect, and can only watch the time previewed on the dark web pass by minute by minute. In this imminent but helpless situation, Lin Chen used psychological means to speculate and induce, not only to find out all the terrorists, but also successfully got them out of brainwashing."Have you ever seen an extremely evil world?"
"Four Tones" tells the story of a rape case that came into view by an attack on a singer meeting, and implicated a sodomy case 10 years ago. Singers with good family backgrounds used public opinion to force the prostitute who accused him of rape. Although they determined that the singer was a perverted rapist with performance personality disorder, Lin Chen and the others had no evidence to convict him. The singer is about to escape abroad, so Lin Chen has to find decisive evidence through gambling with the singer and let the singer commit suicide.
The once famous rock star Song Shengsheng is also a victim of the perverted sadistic singer. But after the truth was revealed, Song Shengsheng refused to meet Lin Chen, and took the reading notes at www.sanguoinfo.com and committed suicide by cutting his throat in the early morning before his comeback concert. The dark clouds that were once pushed away by the truth seem to have never dissipated. Behind Song Shengsheng's cruel suicide, he was actually carrying the lives of thousands of fans. The conspiracy of the terrorist organization made this rebellious young man who never bowed his head to fate willingly die the moment before his rebirth. "Will the once proud soul become humble and hunched? Is it true that the face of the past is beyond recognition?"
"Five Floats" is actually composed of three stories. In the early stage, after Lin Chen confessed to Xing Conglian, he was tied up to develop drugs abroad by accident. He almost died of septicemia and was rescued by Xing Conglian, who had relapsed into the world. The two were officially together. In the middle of the period, after returning to China, the same drug was released, and the infected people became extremely aggressive, similar to zombies, causing social panic. Lin Chen negotiated with the prisoners to obtain antidote information. Later, terrorist organizations released city massacre activities on the dark web, asking the people to vote to slaughter which city to slaughter, and thus attempt to prove the ugliness of human nature and the rationality of crime.
In short, this book is about the crime process of perverted people, so it is very different from ordinary mystery and detective novels.
In my personal opinion, this book does not have the basic elements of Danmei, and should not be considered a Danmei novel strictly. The full text mainly emphasizes how Lin Chen used psychology to solve cases, some personal heroism, while Xing Conglian and Wang Chao are more like game configurations to make the plot go smoothly, or top-notch. So, in my opinion, this is a typical mystery and investigation novel dressed in Danmei leather.
This deviates from my expertise, making it difficult for me to have an accurate and objective evaluation of this novel. But in terms of personal feelings, this novel is very attractive to me.
First of all, its plot is very attractive, and the principles and ideas contained behind the story are also very profound. At the beginning of the Baisha case, the author specially created a terrifying atmosphere, which made people feel bleak and couldn't help but read it down. "The Second Cheng" has a good recovery, and the image of the Candy Thieves is more relaxed and playful, and the contrast it attracts is more touching.
"Three Tombs" is a real heavy hammer, reaching the dark side of human nature, allowing you to truly feel the bloody and extremely evil world and experience that feeling of powerlessness and despair. "Four Tones" is a tragedy. It uncovers the mask of people's hypocrisy and criticizes moral kidnapping; it also praises the beauty of the soul and the beauty of human nature that has never surrendered to fate. "Five Floods" focus more on the concepts of philosophical thinking and psychological game, aiming to highlight the beauty of human nature, and conscience exists in everyone's heart.
Secondly, the author's professional knowledge is relatively comprehensive, the article is highly popular, and it is flexible to express the awkward theoretical knowledge in a simple and easy-to-understand way, which not only makes people understand it, but also arouses my great interest. Before reading this novel, I thought psychology was the most unreliable science major and basically rely on guessing. This book tells me that guessing can be accurate even by guessing. When traditional criminal investigation methods are ineffective, psychological inference can often quickly turn the tide and prevent the next tragedy from happening in time.
, especially some of the concepts mentioned by the author in the article, such as the "bystander effect" - seeking help in the crowd requires specific individuals, and we cannot say who will help me. These knowledge are also very interesting and simple.
However, the fundamental reason why I like this novel is that the author's analysis of human nature is very profound. It not only shows the inherent ugliness and darkness in human nature, but also praises the self who constantly overcomes selfish desires and always yearns for the light. As the author describes Lin Chen, "the clarity that has been tempered to the extreme by darkness."
Of course, as a Danmei book, this book has obvious shortcomings. Like romance, we hope that the plot will be very interesting while the protagonist is in love, but the plot of this book is obviously overwhelming, and the progress of the emotional line is very cliché. The high configuration of the character setting is very unrealistic, especially Xing Conglian, which looks like the routine of the domineering president falling in love with me. Lin Chen's various reactions even made me feel that if he was a deserted woman, his words and deeds and psychology would be more in line with the character's description. This should be the biggest taboo in my personal mind. However, it can also be explained that psychologists need to have good empathy skills, and if they are delicate, they are likely to appear sensitive and weak.
In addition, apart from the high-end character settings, the story is also a bit too large. It is a terrorist organization and a genocide, which feels a bit rippling, and the progress of the case is too ideal. For example, the psychological test of the public in the final case. I personally feel that the online research issues they refer to cannot be completely nested, and it should also involve the differences in the results of individual choices and group selections. Overall, the first four stories are more reasonable, but I personally think that the fourth story is too abused, the first one is too terrifying, and the second one is a little warm, but it is a little raised high and gently put down. In terms of the plot, the best written story should be the third story.
Another shortcoming is that it can be seen that the author wrote about the characters for the sake of writing the case, and in the end he did not explain the subsequent development of the characters clearly. The only heir of a family like Xing Conglian, who faced no questions after being with Lin Chen, did not mention a single word, which made people feel deeply uneasy.
In fact, compared with "Silent Reading", I prefer the kind of hairy and creepy stimulation created by this book, but the author's writing style is really not as big as P. Perhaps it is that detective novels are more about attracting the plot itself than how to tell it. My personal lack of feeling is that the feelings and character descriptions are very pale and single, and not full enough. I think what reflects the author's strength is whether he can write a good meat passage, so that it is both erotic and subtle, both provocative and innocent. The author's meat in the extra section is obviously very unqualified, but it would be nice to have meat, and I don't choose it either.
To sum up, I personally think this novel is very exciting. Although it is not suitable for appreciating as Danmei, the psychological knowledge involved is very interesting. After reading it, I feel that I am still unsatisfied. You can watch American dramas of the same name to relieve it.
