60s: I have a store

Chapter 249 Psychological Profile
Zhou Yimin and his colleagues followed Director Zhang and others back to the police station. The case still needed further investigation.

Director Zhang told Zhou Yimin that the more than 700 yuan could not be taken back for the time being and could only be taken away after the case was closed. He hoped that Zhou Yimin and Chow Tai Fook would wait patiently.

Chow Tai Fook naturally had no objection.

As long as the money is still there, he can bear it. If he can't get it back, that would be fatal. Not only will he lose his job, but he will also be in debt.

Hundreds of them! How much prey would he have to hunt in the mountains to earn back the money?
As for earning work points by farming in the village, that is even less likely. Although Zhoujiazhuang now has other income-generating projects, such as growing vegetables, raising chickens, and growing mushrooms, the amount distributed to everyone is still small.

"Young comrade, be careful next time." Director Zhang reminded Zhou Dafu.

You still have to be careful when buying and selling jobs. Recently, many people in other districts have been cheated. I heard that they specifically target outsiders and run away or hide for a while after cheating one or two people.

"I will definitely pay attention next time," Chow Tai Fook said repeatedly.

After this experience, how could he dare to do it again?

Speaking of this, Zhou Yimin became extremely angry.

What is this guy doing?
Talented people! Even this can be deceived.

You know, I almost got fooled before, and it was him who warned me. Unexpectedly, I still fell into the trap.

What's even more speechless is that he clearly has the channels and connections to get a job, but he chooses not to use them and relies on himself. Damn it! Is there something wrong with his brain?

If you have the money, why don’t you come to me?
Otherwise, he could just quietly pick a job in the subdistrict office and work in any factory. It wouldn't be that bad, right? Zhou Yimin heard that Huang, the officer, gave him several options.

He has to go into the steel mill. I admire him.

What's so good about working in a steel mill? If you are accidentally assigned to work in a workshop, swinging a sledgehammer, or moving goods in a warehouse, it is extremely hard work and most people cannot do that kind of work.

There were several roads in front of him, but he still took the risk to jump over them.

Zhou Yimin scolded him a few words and told him to go back to the courtyard and deal with Zhou Dazhong for the night.

Director Zhang chatted with Zhou Yimin for a while, saying that he was familiar with Director Li and so on, and told Zhou Yimin that he could come to him if he had any problems in the future and that he should not be polite.

Zhou Yimin would naturally not refuse the goodwill that came to his door.

As they chatted, the relationship between the two sides became closer.

In this regard, Zhou Yimin even gave some practical advice and talked about a criminal investigation method - psychological profiling.

That is an indispensable part of criminal investigation, and it probably doesn't exist at the moment.

This thing first appeared in the 16s, just a few years ago, in New York, there was a bomb madman who called himself FP who placed bombs in the city one after another, causing many serious injuries. At the same time, he kept writing provocative letters to the police and newspapers for a period of years. Traditional criminal investigation methods were powerless to deal with this.

So the police enlisted the help of a criminal psychiatrist.

Based on the information he had, he conducted a psychological analysis of the bomber and came to eleven conclusions. He suggested that the police publish these analyses through newspapers, radio and television, and even boldly predicted what the bomber would be wearing when he was arrested.

It was based on those analyses that the police finally captured the criminal, and surprisingly he met every analysis of the criminal psychiatrist, even down to his clothing.

That was the first great triumph of criminal psychology.

Since then, this discipline of using the criminal's behavior to portray his psychological characteristics to assist in detection and interrogation has become an indispensable part of modern criminal investigation.

Director Zhang was stunned when he heard this.

The police officer not far away couldn't help but say, "It's not that mysterious, is it?"

Zhou Yimin smiled and said, "It should be of some use."

Profilers are very famous in later generations, especially in some TV dramas, where they are portrayed as omnipotent and able to predict what the criminal is going to do next.

In fact, profilers are not that magical. They just observe and think more than ordinary people. There is no need to deify them. "We have a case here, and it has been..." Someone spoke quickly.

The person next to him coughed twice to remind him: "Ahem!"

The man quickly shut his mouth.

Director Zhang smiled and said, "There's no need to keep this case secret. Many people know about it. Let Yimin analyze it."

He gave Zhou Yimin a lot of face.

OK! The director said so, so the man no longer hesitated and told Zhou Yimin about the case, asking him to profile the criminal and see what the criminal's next move would be.

After listening to the information, Zhou Yimin combined the clues and information given by the police station and analyzed the criminal's potential psychology, thereby gradually narrowing down the information. In a cross-cutting and analogical way, he told where the criminal might go and what he would most likely do next.

"No!" Zhou Yimin quickly denied his previous inference.

"What's wrong?"

"I missed a piece of information, but now I understand it. He is an enemy spy. If nothing unexpected happens, he will take action tonight, most likely to Dongzhimen. Note that he is likely to carry a gun." Zhou Yimin said.

Dongzhimen is a city gate located in the capital, on the north side of the east wall of the city. It mainly includes Dongzhimen Tower, Dongzhimen Arrow Tower, Dongzhimen Gate Tower and Wengcheng.

Donghefang is a main street outside Dongzhimen. The street is not long, only about 100 meters. After exiting Dongzhimen and crossing the moat, it is a "five-way street". The road to the south is called Donghefang.

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing whether to believe it or not.

In the end, it was Director Zhang who gave face.

In fact, he was just trying his luck. Enemy spies, that's a walking achievement! As long as you catch them and dig out some information, it will be a great achievement.

Although Director Zhang doesn't really believe in psychological profiling, what if?
"Come on, grab your weapons and follow me to Dongzhimen," Chief Zhang shouted.

Seeing that Director Zhang and his men were about to take action, Zhou Yimin stopped disturbing them.

He returned to the courtyard and scolded Chow Tai Fook again.

"Just wait and see! I'll keep an eye on it for you in the next few days and find out more." Zhou Yimin said.

After all, he is a section chief and has good relationships with people, so it is easy for him to get some information like this.

"Thank you, Uncle Sixteen." Chow Tai Fook said dejectedly.

If this matter were to get back to Zhoujiazhuang, he would be laughed at for a long time.

Three or four hours later, when Zhou Yimin was about to go to bed, Director Zhang sent someone to thank him. The person told him that the man had been captured and it turned out to be an enemy spy, with a gun and a top-secret document on him.

At this moment, the people in the police station admired Zhou Yimin very much.

Who could have thought of that?

By analyzing the clues and information, he was able to accurately predict the criminal's next move and even tell the trajectory of his actions.

Simply amazing.

"Our director wants to ask if you have time tomorrow. If you are free, please come to our police station."

Zhou Yimin smiled and shook his head, "I won't go tomorrow."

There's no need to steal the spotlight.
