Saruto Uhei really thought about killing Ariso Mantaro seriously. Araki is a sixty-two-year-old old man.Killing him is a simple matter, just like killing a cockroach.The question is how to prevent the police from catching the case afterwards.This is what needs to be carefully designed.He didn't want to be sentenced to death or life indefinitely if he failed, under the same value as himself. Before that, he had read some novels or true stories, and he knew how painstaking and anxious the criminals were in order to cover up their crimes.Some put the corpses in the furnace and burned them so that people could not find them; The body was embedded in the wall.In fact, this technique was implemented in residential areas of London more than ten years ago.Also, in order to make people believe that they were not at the scene of the murder, how painstakingly the perpetrator forged the alibi.

Needless to say, in the real world, there are many unsolved murders.Even in the cases where the bodies were found, there are still many cases that cannot be solved by being trapped in the maze.This kind of crime can be called "complete crime". However, not all schemes aimed at outright crime are successful.On the contrary, there are many murderers who were easily arrested.Most of the stories written in the book use this kind of incident as the subject matter. Saruto Uhei thought about this so-called complete crime.Every one seems to be successful, but on the other hand, it is always accompanied by great danger.Maybe his doubts come from his lack of courage, cowardice, hesitation, and hesitation.It is indeed easy to commit a crime, but it is very difficult to escape punishment.Thinking about it this way, another passage of Dostoevsky's "Crime and Punishment" came to mind.

The college student Raskolnikov who killed the old woman was finally arrested by the police and had a confrontation with prosecutor Porfiry.This paragraph is the finale of the novel, and it is also a stimulating psychological struggle scene between the prosecutor and the defendant. He seemed to remember one of the crimes that Porfiry had mentioned.That's the crime of the mentally ill.As the murderer is mentally ill, he was acquitted. Saruto Uhei thought of this, and immediately ran to the second-hand bookstore, and took out a dirty copy of "Crime and Punishment" from the bookshelf.After flipping through five or six pages, I quickly found that place.

"'Yes, among the cases we have dealt with, there is a psychological case like this one. It is a morbid incident.' Porfiry said hurriedly: 'It is a man who forced the murder on himself. Plus, and that kind of delusion is very powerful. I state what I saw in the hallucination as a fact, and the scene happened so well that everyone is in a fog. Then what do you think! That man is completely Accidentally, subconsciously, some amount became the reason for the murder, but it was really only a small amount. Unexpectedly, since he knew that he had created the incentive to kill, he suddenly became timid, his mind also changed, and delusions were everywhere. As if going crazy, he finally decided that he was the murderer, but the court finally found out the ins and outs of the trial clearly, proved the poor man's innocence, and released him under surveillance conditions. This is all thanks to the court!  … ...'"

"That's it." Saruto Uohei thought.Yes, being a mental patient.The judge will definitely acquit him unconditionally. Crimes are exposed only because they want to plan something outright criminal.The more intricate the criminal plan, the easier it is to have flaws. This is what mystery novels and true stories throughout the ages have told people.And as long as he is a lunatic, he can boldly commit murder in public.There is no need to make any elaborate plans, or sneak into the deserted residence in the middle of the night.Conceal the body, prove the alibi, and avoid all these troubles.From then on, Yuandu Maoping made up his mind to become a mental patient.

Needless to say, he also naturally ran into a question: Can he keep pretending to be crazy?The court will order a specialist to monitor his mental health.The specialist examines, experiments, observes, and then distinguishes between real and fake psychopaths.Maoping had a new anxiety, so he decided to study whether the fake lunatic could not be seen through. Of course, you can't ask others for advice on this kind of thing.If he had asked about such matters before committing the crime, the plan would have been ruined.He intends to find a special book on the matter. It is also dangerous to buy such books from bookstores.Because if people find out that he bought this kind of book to read before committing a crime, it will be like asking others for advice, and his intentions will be seen through immediately.Then all that's left is the library.However, running to the same library in a row is also extremely dangerous.In order to avoid being recognized by the librarian, it is better to find a few more.I only read that kind of specialized book once. After the incident happened, the administrator probably wouldn't remember it.Needless to say, in every library, you should use a different pseudonym when you borrow books.

In downtown Tokyo, there are large libraries such as the Ueno Library and the Diet Library, as well as municipal libraries established in each district.There are 23 wards in total in Tokyo, and it should be enough to go to about ten of them. First of all, in order to confirm that the mentally abnormal can not be held criminally responsible, he wandered into a bookstore and read the complete book of the Six Laws. Article 29 of the Criminal Law reads: "The deeds of those who have lost their minds will not be punished, and the actions of those whose minds are exhausted will be mitigated." What is the difference between those who have lost their minds and those whose minds have been depleted?Although he didn't quite understand it, he thought: a mentally ill person must be a person who has lost his mind.Even if the sentence is reduced, you still have to be sentenced, so that's boring, you still have to be a complete psychopath.

He ran to libraries all over the country, borrowing books on psychiatry and criminal pathology and reading desperately.He knew that the so-called mental illness had a wide range of cases, and he was deeply surprised by it. There was a book about fake sickness, which he read and reread carefully. "Criminals, especially recidivists, occasionally pretend to be mentally ill in order to avoid criminal responsibility. Especially among those who have some knowledge of mental illness, such as doctors, caregivers, or people who have had contact with mental illness. Actors There are also clever pretenders. However, fake illnesses are not as common as people in the world imagine, because faking mental illness is not as easy as imagined. What's more, people who have no knowledge and experience of mental illness want to fool around in front of professional doctors. Possibly. According to the experience of psychiatry, most of the false illnesses are originally people with certain mental abnormalities. In other words, in this case, the false illness can be regarded as a symptom. Especially among hysterical or abnormal people, false illness It’s not uncommon. And such fake lunatics often become symptoms of real madness.”

Mao Ping has also dabbled in similar specialized books, all pointing out that it is really difficult for Chen to pretend to be a mental patient.No matter how you pretend to be crazy, you can't escape the eyes of specialized doctors.In addition, physical symptoms, such as those from reflex movements, pulse, etc., can also unmask its disguise. Also, if you continue to pretend to be in a state of confusion, you will definitely be exhausted and cannot last for a long time. It is like peeking at the eyes and ears of surveillance, stopping the state of excitement, and wanting to rest, the tail will be exposed; pretending to be in a state of depression, then the accompanying sadness and depression , and the mental feeling of falling off, etc., cannot be faked.Furthermore, if you pretend to be in a state of dementia or a coma, then it is not easy to pretend for a long time with emotional embarrassment, facial expressions, and behavior.There is also such a record: In that state, there is no reaction to external stimuli, but the external dynamics are still clear during the disguise, and there is no choice but to respond to external stimuli.

After reading these books, you know how difficult it is to pretend to be crazy.That's almost impossible.But... Maoping thought: Facing the death penalty, as long as you work hard, you should be able to overcome the difficulties.The problem is how to find the difficulty. There are various symptoms of mental illness, but he thinks that the most suitable for disguising seems to be schizophrenia.Because in the records, mental illness is diagnosed on the basis of mental and physical symptoms, and the physical basis of schizophrenia is still completely unknown. "This is a state similar to a disease unit limited only by mental symptoms. It is conceivable that there may be a certain reason, or that the body process has become a gene. Kreppelin thought it was caused by a certain disorder in metabolism. However, there is not only one kind of body process, but several types, which may have a certain quality, cause schizophrenia due to various physical pathological processes, or cause symptoms due to damage to a specific part of the brain. In short , is defined from a psychological standpoint." ("An Introduction to Criminal Psychosis")

According to this account, schizophrenia can be diagnosed from a psychological standpoint even when no physical symptoms are apparent.This is not bad, Mao Ping thought. In addition, such as alcoholism, heredity, epilepsy, concussion, brain tumor, uremia, infectious disease, poisoning, etc., Maoping has no experience, so he cannot fake such physical symptoms.
