As the snap of his fingers occurred, the young man seemed to receive some command, his eyes slowly opening as he gradually regained consciousness.
But he still didn't realize what had just happened, and continued to shout, "Come on, hypnotize me? Hypnotize me?"
To this!
Lin Zhengyi didn't say anything and didn't bother with the other party. He simply stood up and said to Liu Dazhao, "Liu sir, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now!"
"Inspector Lin, why don't you stay for a meal?" Liu Dazhao quickly invited.
Judging from the current effects of the hypnosis, he will inevitably cause Lin Zhengyi a lot of trouble in the future, so he should naturally treat him with the highest level of courtesy.
If we let him stay for a meal, he'll feel awkward asking us to stay later!
"No, I have something to do, I'll be going now!" Lin Zhengyi said directly.
"Take care, Inspector Lin!" Lau Tai-chiu could only say helplessly upon hearing this.
Lin Zhengyi nodded, then turned and left.
This time!
"Run away? This cop is no good either, trying to hypnotize someone? What's he hypnotizing for!" The young man looked at Lin Zhengyi leaving with a contemptuous expression and continued to shout.
To this!
"I've already sent someone to dig up the dagger from the open space next to the garbage station on Qinghe Street. We'll use it to verify your fingerprints and the victim's DNA to find out if you're the murderer!" Liu Dazhao turned to look at the young man and said calmly.
Upon hearing this, the young man's pupils suddenly contracted.
Wasn't the vacant lot next to the garbage station on Qinghe Street the place where he hid the murder weapon?
How did the cops know?
As he was wondering, he suddenly thought of Lin Zhengyi, who had just left. A flash of inspiration struck him, and an unbelievable idea immediately appeared in his mind.
"Could it be... that I was just hypnotized!?" the young man said in utter terror.
"hehe!"
Liu Dazhao sneered again, but instead of answering directly, he said in a low voice, "Normally, petty theft would be sentenced to about three years, but murder would be thirty years. But you also gamble, and you also do drugs and traffic drugs. As a result, small cases become big cases, and big cases become serious cases. You're going to spend the rest of your life in jail!"
As soon as these words came out!
The young man suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
He was absolutely certain that he had indeed been hypnotized!
Damn it, every single thing the other person mentioned was a case he had committed and a heinous crime he had done!
He also knew that these were serious cases, so they were always kept strictly confidential. Even if someone very close asked, he would just make up an excuse and never tell anyone!
But now, the other party actually knows. What does that mean?
This indicates that he was indeed hypnotized, and the information was leaked from his mouth.
Think of this!
Only one thought remained in his mind.
"We're doomed!!!"
Chapter 174 The Disadvantages of Hypnosis
Small cases become big cases, and big cases become serious cases.
Soon, the results of Lin Zhengyi's hypnosis became known to the police officers in various regions.
All of a sudden!
Many regions actively sought out Lin Zhengyi, hoping he could assist with the interrogation.
The allure of the credit that comes from turning a minor case into a major one, and a major case into a serious one, is irresistible to any police officer!
Simply!
Lin Zhengyi had already set a rule that the test could only be used once every three days; otherwise, given the sheer madness of the police officers, he would probably be interrogating dozens of cases a day, from morning till midnight.
Even so, his schedule was packed with ten hypnosis sessions from the beginning to the end of the month.
Each one is a major case, each one is a serious case.
To this!
Lin Zhengyi was happy to participate.
Just as he expected, each interrogation became part of his case-closing experience.
Although it's not much, like the initial thief, even though small cases become big cases, and big cases become serious cases, he only gets two experience points, which is an E-level rating, much lower than the normal participation in cases.
But these cases just keep happening!
These big and serious cases can each give him one to five experience points. Over time, on average, he can earn at least twenty or thirty experience points per month.
This is already quite good for Lin Zhengyi.
of course!
If he were willing to loosen the time restrictions, such as changing it to five times a day or ten times a day, his experience might be even greater.
However, he eventually gave up.
On the one hand, he didn't want to be busy all day long.
People can be busy, but if they are busy all day long, they have no time to rest or have fun. What's the point of living?
On the other hand, and most importantly.
This approach to participating in cases is not highly regarded by the system.
For those major and serious cases, I only have one to five points of experience. What about small cases?
Although he had never received such an offer, he suspected that the person offering it probably wouldn't even provide any experience.
The problem is that once he removes the time limit, there will inevitably be minor cases, after all, there aren't that many major cases every day in Hong Kong.
In fact, ten cases a month basically encompassed all the major cases in Hong Kong.
This is because many movies and TV series have incorporated this world, making it a bit more chaotic than normal Hong Kong. Otherwise, normally, a city might not have one or two major cases a month.
In the end, this back and forth won't increase your experience much, but your workload will increase exponentially.
That's totally not worth it!
and so!
After much deliberation, he decided to give up.
Also!
As he conducted more and more hypnotic interrogations, some of the drawbacks of hypnosis became apparent.
Firstly, his hypnosis may not necessarily yield results.
If the target's subconscious mind strongly resists something, then no matter how roundabout Lin Zhengyi's methods or how many conditions he sets up to deceive the target's subconscious mind, it will be useless.
No matter the method, as long as it involves something the other person subconsciously resists, the other person will become aware of it.
For example, among those interrogated this month was a murderer who had participated in the war and then smuggled himself to Hong Kong to make money.
The other party was determined and had a strong subconscious resistance. Even if Lin Zhengyi hypnotized him, the other party would show signs of waking up once it came to evidence and details of the murder, and no amount of roundabout tactics would work.
Ultimately, hypnosis yielded no results.
Fortunately, the police found evidence shortly afterward using the clues they had gathered, otherwise the other party would have escaped.
Secondly!
He can easily hypnotize people who can't afford a lawyer, but for those who do have lawyers, the lawyers will participate in the interrogation process. If Lin Zhengyi tries to hypnotize them, the other party will immediately remind the person, and the person will wake up, so hypnosis will naturally be useless.
During the interrogation of a wealthy man, Lin Zhengyi had just hypnotized him when the man's lawyer woke him up.
At last!
Statements made in hypnosis facilities cannot be used as evidence in court.
On one occasion, after the trial concluded, the police sent the criminal to court, but the opposing lawyer refuted the confession obtained under hypnosis on two points.
First, there is no substantial evidence to prove that hypnosis actually exists. Therefore, the opposing lawyer believes that the police officer may have used some kind of drug to induce the client to be in a daze and then deliberately elicit a false confession. Therefore, the confession cannot be regarded as evidence.
Secondly, even if hypnosis is real, the target is also unconscious during hypnosis, and the credibility of statements made unconsciously is questionable.
At last!
After deliberation, the judge found both reasons to be valid and ruled that the confession obtained under hypnosis was invalid.
Fortunately, the confession obtained under hypnosis was only part of the story, and the police also collected other evidence, which prevented the other party from escaping legal responsibility.
but!
Although the drawbacks of hypnosis have become increasingly apparent, and police officers have become less eager to use hypnosis to obtain confessions, there are still quite a few people who want to hire Lam Cheng-yi to hypnotize them into giving confessions.
A confession cannot be used as evidence in court, but under hypnosis, the target may reveal evidence, such as where the evidence is hidden. Then, all that's needed is to send someone to find it, which can still help solve the case!
-
In a blink of an eye!
More than a month has passed.
That day, Lin Zhengyi went to work as usual, but an unexpected person came to his door.
"Uncle, is there something you need?"
Lin Zhengyi looked at Cao Dahua sitting across from him at his desk, his face full of confusion.
You should know that Cao Dahua wouldn't contact him unless there was something going on, but if there was something, Cao Dahua would usually communicate by phone. If that wasn't possible, they would arrange a time and place by phone.
This is the first time someone has come to our door without giving us any prior notice!
"I came to the West Kowloon Police Station today to take care of some business, and I'm just dropping you off here!" Cao Dahua said with a smile.
"Send things?"
Lin Zhengyi looked at him with surprise and said, "What are you going to give me? I don't need anything!"
"Some things can't be withheld just because you don't need them!"
