I am immortal with scientific thinking

Chapter 852

Snapped!
In the dark room, the sudden bright light instantly stimulated Lin Chen's eyes, causing him to squint subconsciously.

This is a common tactic used in interrogating criminal suspects.

In the dark room, a light is shone directly into the interrogator's eyes.

This behavior is mainly to put psychological pressure on the suspect, because people's vision will quickly become tired after being against the light for a long time, but the police will not allow rest or sleep in order to achieve the purpose of breaking down the suspect's psychological defenses.

Of course, the lights are turned on to make it easier for the police to observe the suspect's subtle movements and expressions.

The light that suddenly lit up in the darkness made Lin Chen's mind dazed for a moment. After all, his body was too weak.

As mortals with flesh and blood, any change in the environment will cause the rise and fall of hormones, thus causing emotional instability and ultimately leading to restlessness. This is why many people with strong and outstanding minds believe that this body is an obstacle that binds their great souls.

Just when Lin Chen was in a trance, a loud shout suddenly rang out in the originally silent room:
"Lin Chen, you are so brave to kill the top student of Donghai University! Tell me, what weapon did you use to kill him?!"

"First, I don't know what you mean by the top students of Shahai Donghai University. I have no idea about it." Even though he had been sitting in the dark for an unknown period of time and the sudden light and sound made him lose consciousness, Lin Chen still reacted in an instant and said slowly, "If I remember the law correctly, there is a provision that no one can be forced to prove his guilt. There is also a provision that when encountering threatening, enticing, and deceptive words, as a civilized citizen, I have the right to remain silent, not admit, and not acknowledge."

"You're still quibbling. Your fingerprints have been found at the scene, and the surveillance camera has also detected your whereabouts. And you still say that you didn't kill the person?!" Behind the lights, a young criminal detective roared, slammed the table and glared at him.

If it were an ordinary person, staying in a dark and closed environment for more than an hour and being interrogated in advance, or this kind of oppressive environment, it would be enough to make an ordinary criminal collapse and spit out all the information he knew.

Even a person with good psychological quality will reveal a flaw in such a situation. Once they answer the questions of this young criminal detective, they will most likely be exposed.

Because the question the other party asked itself contains a trap, because if the person really was not killed by you, then you should not have any information about the deceased.

For example, the identity of the deceased, the place of death, whether you were there at that time, whether it is normal for fingerprints to be left in that place...

For example, in this case, if Lin Chen said that it was normal to find his fingerprints in the dormitory, or that he was not at the scene at that time and the surveillance was enough to prove this, then he would have fallen into the trap in the rhetoric.

Therefore, many times, verbal confrontations often cannot follow the other party's meaning and fall into the other party's rhythm. Otherwise, those human elites who have experienced many battles and have insight into people's hearts can easily conquer your heart, manipulate your emotions, and ultimately control you as a whole.

Don't think this is alarmist. Just as you can't imagine the IQ of humanity's top scientists, you also can't imagine how terrifying those people with top eloquence can be. At least in Lin Chen's previous life, the second season of the world was caused by the young man who did a talk show in the beer hall. This is enough to illustrate the horror.

If he were to face such a person, Lin Chen might not be able to guarantee that he would not be affected. After all, people learn things at different times and everyone has their own specialties. Even though he almost touched upon the power close to that of immortals and gods, he would not underestimate the wise men who stood out among these mortals.

But the young criminal detective in front of him was not one of them. At least he had never competed with him for the control and rhythm of speech.

Therefore, Lin Chen was not nervous at all, but said calmly:
"First of all, I don't know what your so-called murder is. Secondly, even if there was a murder, there must be evidence, and I have the corresponding right to know, instead of arresting me and interrogating me directly like you did. Finally..."

At this point, Lin Chen's smile faded. He stared at the young detective in front of him and asked word by word:
"Without clear evidence, who gave you the right to bring top students from the top universities in human civilization here for interrogation without any reason?!"

"Are you really planning to confuse right and wrong, black and white, and force people to confess?!!"

"you……!"

Even in the dark and under house arrest, that extremely sharp look made the young criminal detective's heart tremble suddenly, and he subconsciously took a step back.

Snapped!
The lights in the room were completely lit up at this moment.

The originally extremely tense atmosphere was suddenly diluted a lot when the lights came on.

The old detective sitting next to the young detective scolded him at this moment:
"What are you doing? We just asked them to come over to investigate the case. How can you have such an attitude?!"

Then, the old detective turned to Lin Chen and said with an apologetic smile:
"I'm sorry, classmate. We called you up this time just to investigate something. I hope you can cooperate."

One plays the good cop and the other plays the bad cop?
Lin Chen understood what he meant instantly, but he had no intention of cooperating, so he said calmly:
"Until the truth of the matter is clear and the evidence is conclusive, I have the right to remain silent."

"You are refusing to cooperate. You should think carefully about the price!" Hearing this, the young detective glared at him, "Don't forget, leniency to those who confess, severity to those who resist!"

The old detective's brows also frowned slightly at this moment.

I am not afraid of the suspect talking too much, I am afraid of him not talking.

Especially for those who have first-class IQ and talent, who can remain calm even in such situations, and have very strong psychological qualities, it will be a very difficult process to break through their inner defenses.

"Student Lin, you have to know that at the crime scene, there are surveillance cameras and fingerprints of you entering and leaving. This is very disadvantageous to you."

The old detective spoke earnestly, as if he was really thinking about Lin Chen.
"You are also a top student at Donghai University. I'm sure you don't want your future to be affected by this incident. Explain everything clearly. If you are really not a suspect, then find the real murderer as soon as possible. This will be good for everyone."

If I agree, I will also fall into the other party's rhythm of words. If I don't agree, it means that I have something to hide. After all, which top student would allow himself to be linked to a murder case and thus tarnish his future? In this way, the other party will be sure that the direction of his investigation is not wrong...

Whether the answer is yes or no, it will allow the other person to find the answer.

Could it be that he is an experienced old detective? He doesn't have the aggressiveness of young detectives. But when it comes to interrogation, all I can say is that you shouldn't use your hobby to challenge other people's expertise.

I can’t answer, but I can’t not answer either…

After a moment of silence, Lin Chen said:
"Since I'm not sure of the truth of the matter, and I don't know if someone framed me, but I can tell you for sure that I didn't kill anyone."

Yes, the person he killed... was not a human.

The old detective did not speak at this moment, but looked at Lin Chen's expression without saying a word.

The atmosphere in the field fell into silence, and an inexplicable sense of oppression became more and more dignified. The old detective stared at Lin Chen solemnly, with an unspeakable oppression, but the latter looked at him calmly, without a trace of guilty look on his face.

After a while, the old detective said:
"Since Lin doesn't want to talk, we can't force him. But this case is serious, so I hope Lin can stay here for a while and cooperate with the investigation."

"It's natural."

Lin Chen nodded.

boom!
As the door opened and closed, Lin Chen was the only one left in the interrogation room. However, he knew that the test was not over yet. After all, there were definitely cameras installed here to observe his every move.

Behind him are a series of human elites including specialized psychologists, micro-expression experts, profilers, etc. who analyze his psychology. The game has just begun.

However, Lin Chen did not complain, because he came in voluntarily to cooperate with the actions of the mentor behind him.

After all, after reincarnation, he is just an ordinary person in this modern society. If he wants to climb up, there must be an exchange of interests.

And this fake person is a good opportunity.

If he had chosen to go directly into the laboratory building to seek shelter just now, given Fang Changqing's status, it would not have been difficult for him to be protected.

But the fake person lurking behind the scenes will stop there, and maybe even replace the dead body, and then put a case of murder on him. Even if he is safe in the end, his way to move up will be almost cut off.

Therefore, he had to pretend that he had fallen into a trap, lure out the hidden fake person, and give his mentor a crucial blow. This would be a great achievement and the capital for climbing up.

But this matter also has risks. If the fake person stops here, even if he can get away, he will still be in trouble.

However, Lin Chen still has a backup plan. The traces he left on the corpse are enough for a forensic doctor to perform an autopsy. Then the truth of the matter may come to light, and he may be able to avoid going to jail.

But this is just a possibility.

After all, sometimes having evidence does not necessarily mean that you will get fairness and justice. If no one speaks for you, a crime of murder is enough to ruin your life.

Moreover, even if there is someone talking to Lin Chen, it cannot necessarily guarantee that he will be completely safe.

After all, if this monster were to be exposed to the world, he who is related to it would definitely be monitored and controlled, and absorbed into the organization. If he enters with this identity, he would only be able to do hard, tiring, and even dangerous work in this team, and die without hope in the end.

This is not what Lin Chen wants, so he has to take a gamble.

Not only does he need to have connections with higher-ups, he also needs to join the organization after making great contributions, so that he can climb to a truly high position.

This is just like the officials in ancient times. Clerks are there to do things, and officials are there to make people do things. But if you don't have connections with your superiors, or if you don't have any merits or achievements when you enter the position, then all your life you can only be a clerk who does things, and you can never be an official who manages people.

The identity he has been reborn as now is just an ordinary citizen in the Federation of Human Civilization, and he has no connection with the higher-ups.

Therefore, the best way right now is to get in touch with their university mentor, or even the Academy of Human Civilization behind him.

But relationships are not so easy to build. It is not enough to just give gifts. There are three necessary points.

First, you already have a relationship with the other party and can meet from time to time. Second, you are valuable and worthy of investment. Third, and most importantly, you must have a vested interest in this mentor.

For example, the monster corpse in front of us has great value in itself.

Whether it is dissecting to explore its habits, or dispatching violent agencies to kill it, this itself contains enormous power, not to mention if some related technology is successfully researched later, it is unknown how much benefit value will be generated.

If this matter is entirely handled by violent organizations or related supernatural research departments, then the scientific research institution represented by his mentor will naturally have no chance to intervene.

But now it’s different. Lin Chen himself is the student of this tutor, and this matter is closely related to him. That means the scientific research team behind the tutor has the channels to intervene in this matter.

Once involved, Lin Chen himself will have interests in exchange with his mentor. No matter whether he is using or being used, this means that he has the opportunity to be independent and to make choices, rather than just being ordered around. Especially in a team, this opportunity is particularly important and can determine whether you can get promoted.

So the so-called social etiquette is not as simple as giving gifts. It must be related to interests, whether you owe something to your superior or others have done you a favor. Only in this way can you have the opportunity to go further.

"It's still easier to just fight and kill. If you don't know a person's feelings when calculating these human relationships, all your efforts will go to waste..."

Lin Chen sighed slightly in his heart.

I didn't expect that after traveling through time and getting used to fighting and killing, there would still be a day when people would calculate their relationships.

Not to mention that this plan puts him in a weak position. Even if all aspects are taken into consideration, it is still unclear whether it can succeed.

But if he fails, he will be different from ordinary people. Others only gamble the rest of their lives, but they can still have food and clothing without worries. But he will lose the opportunity, and his future may be completely cut off.

But what can be done?

How is it possible to climb up without paying a price and taking risks?

Everything in the world has its price, but some prices are borne by you, and some prices are borne by your loved ones.

Thinking of this, for some reason, Lin Chen felt a little disappointed, because he thought of his past life.
In fact, whether in novels or in reality, these ordinary people with no background want to climb up, whether they are fighting desperately or struggling for popularity, don’t they all enter the game just to win a little over fate?
If you succeed, you will soar to the top; if you fail, you will have to study hard for decades and waste your whole life. The price you pay is almost daunting, and you may even feel that it is not worth it.

But if God really gives you a chance to change your destiny, are you willing to take the plunge and take a gamble?
