1024: Chapter 958 Wilted Seed 1024: Chapter 958 Wilted Seed Xiao Zhou is 26 this year, practically a young middle-aged man.
He works in a factory, doesn’t earn much, has little ti to spare, and is a true blue-collar worker—almost what you’d call a poor mber of the middle class.
With such a background, Liu Wenkai is all too familiar—people who like to commit a certain type of cri almost always share a similar background.
It’s not that people of other backgrounds don’t commit such cris, but proportionally speaking, there’s always a demographic that is in the majority.
To describe this phenonon with a fancy term, you could call it “big data demographic profiling,” or even “FBI-style criminal profiling.”
Like robbers, who are typically strong and in need of money.
There are exceptions, of course, but to Wen Kai, a detective like him wouldn’t be surprised by a suspect who fits this profile—it’s all routine.
If, on the other hand, a suspect with a physical disability, lacking self-confidence in their own strength and not short on cash appears, that would be a topic of conversation for the next five years.
After only a few words with Zhou Shetao, Wen Kai was fairly certain that this was a suspect with an introverted personality.
Put in trendy terms, you could call him an I-person; in old-fashioned terms, a layabout.
Compared to outgoing boys, introverted n like Zhou Shetao are more likely to fall into sexual frustration during their adolescence, especially if they’re not particularly handso, don’t have much money, don’t excel in studies, aren’t thoroughly bad, lack friends, aren’t good at sports, lack courage, and feel oppressed by their environnt.
“You should know why we ca to find you today, right?” Liu Wenkai began to ramp up the pressure after determining Zhou Shetao’s personality.
The heart of an I-person is sensitive and fragile.
If it’s a friend, they should be treated with tender care, but if it’s an enemy, you just need to use the sharpest words and body language to break them.
There’s no place for pity or chivalry here; interrogation often involves exerting pressure, and because police have experience and criminals don’t, many break under moderate pressure.
So criminals, after spending several years in prison, might never recover; others tremble at the sight of soone in uniform, and even after release, they still avoid police and any public officials.
Liu Wenkai was eager for results.
He had to visit hundreds of people throughout Yue Province, and although Xiao Zhou had a strong suspicion about him, to Wen Kai, it was rely a hunch at this point—like feeling sothing about an antique porcelain before seeing the base and bottom, you can’t go all-in without checking it thoroughly first.
Zhou Shetao frowned deeply: “You ca to , how should I know?”
Liu Wenkai spoke harshly: “Be serious.
You don’t know?
What are you pretending for?”
Zhou Shetao: “Where would I know that from.”
Liu Wenkai: “Let tell you, Zhou Shetao, we didn’t drive for tens of hours just because we have nothing better to do.
We won’t just return because you claim ignorance.
Let’s be clear, whether you confess or not today, you’re going with us back to Shannan Province.
If you’re not confessing here, you’ll do it in the interrogation room at the Chang Le City Bureau.”
Zhou Shetao startled: “Why should I, I won’t go back!”
“You don’t have a choice!” Liu Wenkai intended to make Zhou Shetao uncomfortable.
Anyone would instinctively feel bad at the thought of being escorted over a long distance.
Zhou Shetao suddenly stood up with a swoosh.
The two detectives beside him grabbed him and pushed him back into the chair.
Seizing the chance, Liu Wenkai snapped: “Trying to escape?
Cuff him to the chair.”
The detectives imdiately complied, cuffing Zhou Shetao’s hands behind him onto the chair, making his posture more complicated and suggesting that the situation had also beco more complex.
Introverts, when facing the complex world outside, sotis just want to hastily surrender just to get it over with.
There are tis when they would agree to anything as long as it could bring so peace to their imdiate world, even knowing they would be at a loss.
As the detectives held Zhou Shetao, Liu Wenkai asked, “Rember anything now?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.
At least tell why I’m being arrested,” Zhou Shetao struggled a bit before giving up, but his expression showed he was enduring.
But to Liu Wenkai, his body language and expressions did not match.
Zhou Shetao seed too adept, not only failing to show guilt which is normal, but also fearlessly facing the escalating pressure from the detectives which is not characteristic of an ordinary introvert.
At this mont, neither Liu Wenkai nor the detectives beside him showed any pleasant expressions.
On the contrary, Liu Wenkai was deliberately cultivating the image of a bad, even corrupt, cop.
To the average person, the intimidation of such a cop is maxed out.
It’s not just ordinary people; even those regularly involved in sex work, upon seeing Liu Wenkai’s current expressions and actions, would start questioning themselves, and most tis would prefer to admit to the offense of prostitution and accept the administrative penalty.
If Zhou Shetao was normal, he should start talking now, at least show so sign of yielding.
Defiant resistance, especially the resolute, unafraid kind, to Liu Wenkai suggests the behavior of soone with a major case in the background.
Considering Zhou Shetao’s personality and experiences, Liu Wenkai suspected he might have been trained.
