Chapter 5 Part V-1

Nine and six intuition Yang Hua's relationship repair project has not been completed yet, so when I told him Zhang Jinlong's name, the time of execution, and Tilanqiao Prison, and asked him to help, he said "try to get it done."The word "best effort" was added, which shows that it is not very sure. Liang Yingwu and I talked on the phone and told him that although he was still investigating, it might not be hereditary.He said that inheritance may be separated from generation to generation, and the absence of signs in the previous generation does not mean anything.

This statement is true, but also very annoying.If it is three or five generations apart, how can I find out? He suggested that I get some You Fang's blood, or have her hair tested.This kind of task really makes people scratch their heads, let alone the blood, where can I find the hair, and ask her directly? She will definitely ask the cause and effect of this strange request, and tell her that Liu Er has actually changed into a hairy person. If Liang Yingwu had said earlier that when I met You Fang for a drink, I could sneak a few of them out. Now that my identity is clear, of course I can no longer go to find her to accompany me for a drink.

"Why don't you go once?" I tentatively asked Liu Er. Six Ears shook his head like a rattle: "No." "Oh, you..." I was rolling my eyes and trying to persuade Liu Er, but he interrupted me and said: "I really can't go, don't say anything else, do you think I can do it like this?" "Why not? After you shave cleanly... Uh, it seems to be impossible." I just thought about what my mother thinks of her son. It is very different from passers-by. The extra pores on the six ears can be hidden from the past. ? "Or, hehe..."

"Why are you laughing like this?" Liu Er looked at me suspiciously. "Then I'll go. Although it's a bit early, some stores have already started selling Mid-Autumn mooncakes." "When is it now, the end of July, there is still more than a month. You don't want to send mooncakes and lie that I bought them?" I knocked him on the head, and now our relationship seems to be back to the casualness it was when we first met. "Shouldn't you give it away? Mid-Autumn Festival, don't ask me to give it away yourself. With such a good friend as me, you really deserve to burn incense."

So, I bought mooncakes the next day, delivered them before she went to work at night, and pulled a few hairs on the comb when she was using the bathroom to go to the toilet, and the task was completed. It looks easy, but it's actually quite hard work.This time You Fang looked like a mother who wanted to kill her son.Although Liu Er refused to give it to me and asked me to give it to him, it showed that he still had a grudge in his heart, but buying mooncakes showed that his son still thought of her at last, which made her happier than anything else. You Fang asked me a lot of questions about Liu Er, and I thought about answering them carefully. Many times I had to make up a perfect lie, which took a lot of thought.

If she knew that I bought the mooncakes, she would be very disappointed.But looking at Liu Er's appearance, maybe I did something he was too embarrassed to bring up. When I left, You Fang asked me to play often.I knew in my heart that she just wanted me to tell her about Liu Er's situation.She wanted to get closer to her son through me as an intermediary. There was news from Yang Hua. He introduced me to someone. He used to be a psychological consultant of the Criminal Police Brigade, but now he is retired at home.At that time, he also assisted in the case analysis of this big case.

This person is Wang Maoyuan. When Yang Hua used to write large manuscripts, he often asked him about the psychological problems of criminals, and he was quite familiar with him.Yang Hua told me that Wang Maoyuan was very respected in the Municipal Bureau and had a lot of contacts. Let me go to him first to understand the situation. If I need to read the files at that time, it would be convenient for Wang Maoyuan to come forward. On the night Yang Hua told me, Liu Er and I visited Wang Maoyuan's house. He lives on Yangshupu Road, on the second floor of an old house, very close to Tilan Bridge. I don't know if it is a residence assigned by the Public Security Bureau.

Wang Maoyuan is in his early sixties and looks about 1.75 meters tall. At his age, he is quite burly.His wife enthusiastically served tea and snacks, then closed the door for us and went to the next room to watch TV.She was used to people coming to the house to talk to Lao Wang about business. This reception room is actually Wang Maoyuan's study room. Not only are the bookcases full of books, but in several places, the books are piled up on the ground in crooked piles. Before I could speak, Six Ears poked me first, motioning me to look in a certain direction. There's just a bunch of books there, nothing special.

I didn't think it was very polite, so I signaled him with my eyes. "That pile of books..." Liu Er said. Wang Maoyuan followed our eyes and turned his head to look over. At this time, the book suddenly collapsed and scattered on the ground. "...It's about to fall." Almost at the same time, Liu Er said the last three words. "Oh, I'm sorry." Wang Maoyuan said, and hurriedly stood up and ran over to tidy up. Of course, Liu Er and I couldn't just watch the master busy, so we also went over to help.When this pile of books fell over, more than half of the two piles next to it were knocked over, and I messed around for a while.

"How do you know it's time to fall?" I took the time to ask Liu Er softly. "Feeling." Six ears looked mysterious. After the books are piled up, the host and guest sit down again. Wang Maoyuan wiped the fine sweat from his forehead, and said with a smile, "I'm really sorry, I asked you to help with things as soon as the guests came." "Such a small matter, it should be." After working so hard for a while, the distance between us suddenly narrowed a lot. "You want to know about the '4.23' rape group?" Wang Maoyuan said.

"'4·23' rape group?" "Hehe, it's just a name. Because the earliest case happened on April 23, 1981, that's how it was called." Wang Maoyuan showed a look of reminiscence, and for a while his eyes didn't know where to look. to where.Both Liu Er and I wisely didn't bother him. "Oh," Wang Maoyuan sighed heavily, "after so many years, someone brought up that case again. I was engaged in psychological research, originally engaged in social psychology, was transferred to the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and then began to engage in criminal psychology. Over the past few decades, I have come into contact with various criminals, but the one that puzzles me the most is the case of the '4·23' rape group. "It's a syndicate, but in fact the criminals have nothing to do with each other. Since 1980, the incidence of rape cases in Shanghai began to rise. By the turn of spring and summer in 1981, the number of rape cases reported by the bureau was even more dramatic. Rise. On April 23 of that year, a female college student committed suicide by jumping off a building after being raped. The city bureau decided to crack down on rape cases by hooligans. There was no intention of hiding from the limelight at all. Until 1982, the momentum began to decline, and we arrested nearly a hundred rapers.” "So much!" I couldn't help but be speechless when I heard this. "Yeah, you can imagine the pressure on the public security organs during such a long period of time. For most of the rapists, it is not very difficult to catch. The problem is that after one is caught, two come out. It is hard to catch. Caught. Therefore, the method of increasing the severity of the sentence was quickly introduced, hoping to deter the criminals, but with little effect. We conducted a large number of interrogations on the arrested criminals. We thought that such a large-scale crime should be related to each other. ..." Speaking of this, Wang Maoyuan took a look at both of us: "Things have passed for so long, some things were not clear to the common people at the time, but now they say it doesn't matter anymore. At that time, almost at the same time, eight provinces and one municipality directly under the central government had large-scale Rape broke out. It may sound weird to you when I say this, like an epidemic, but that's what happened at the time. Every province caught a large number of rapists, but the rapes continued to happen. It's even weirder Yes, when the number of rape cases in Shanghai began to decrease in June and July of 1982, these provinces also decreased at the same time. You must know that the intensity of the crackdown and the circumstances of the crimes are different in different places. This synchronization in time is Very strange." I heard it straight away, this is really a strange case, I didn't expect such a thing to happen in Shanghai. "So, at the beginning we determined that there was a connection between each other. Because the scale is too large, too many places are involved, and it is a province in the south, so the higher-ups even suspected that the sabotage was from the other side, and there were deeper political intentions in it. However, as more and more criminals were caught, a very in-depth investigation was conducted on each criminal, but no connection between them could be found at all.” "No connection at all?" I asked, frowning. Hearing what Wang Maoyuan said, everyone would think that there must be a connection. A wry smile appeared on the corner of Wang Maoyuan's mouth: "Our criminal investigators just don't believe it and don't contact them. The first trial and the second trial make psychological breakthroughs from various angles. But in the end, there is nothing for you to break through. Naturally, you get nothing. From occupation, family background to people you may contact, There is basically no intersection. Not to mention that they are ordinary people who have not received anti-criminal training, even spies who have undergone strict training, even if they die and refuse to confess, it is impossible not to show doubts. Moreover, not one or two, only Shanghai Hundreds, all places add up to four figures. It is impossible to organize so many people without flaws, it is not something that humans can do. In the end, I can only admit that everything is just a coincidence.” "Coincidence?" I didn't think so, but Liu Er said what I thought directly: "Many things are concluded by coincidence, just because the hidden connection has not been found yet." Although I agree with Liu Er's words in my heart, it is too disrespectful for the master to say so.I glared at him and said, "Don't talk nonsense, it's probably a coincidence that professional criminal investigators have no clues. There are many coincidences in this world." Wang Maoyuan said with a smile: "If I had no doubts, I wouldn't have worried about it for so many years. At that time, although the results of the investigation came out, many people couldn't believe it. That's why I was assigned as a special investigator for psychological analysis. Join the task force to conduct research on the criminal's psychology, hoping to find a breakthrough in this regard." "Have you made a breakthrough in your research?" I asked, but I didn't have any hope. Wang Maoyuan said that he still hasn't found the answer to the doubts about this matter. Sure enough, Wang Maoyuan shook his head and said: "I didn't find the answer, but I have more and more doubts. Like Zhang Jinlong, who you are looking for, he is a repeat offender, and I have also conducted research on him. Before you came, I also found out the notes from that year. .” He took out a very ordinary yellow leather workbook, and the paper was slightly yellowed. One page of the book was folded with a small corner, Wang Maoyuan turned to this page and handed it over. Liu Er took the notebook, I turned my head, it was densely written on it—— Zhang Jinlong was born in 1958, and he performed very well in school.It can be said that he is excellent in character and learning, and his middle school teacher was very impressed with him.By the standards of the time.His thinking is very strong. In 1977, Zhang Jinlong entered the third year of senior high school, caught up with the resumption of the college entrance examination, and was admitted to the Department of Architecture of a prestigious university in Shanghai.During college, he began to fall in love with Wang Mou, a high school classmate who was studying in the history department of a certain university in Beijing. The two parties corresponded regularly, and the relationship developed steadily.Unexpectedly, at the end of May 1981, just before his graduation, he suddenly went berserk, raped two students named Guo and You on the university campus, and then fled.He was arrested a month later, during which time he committed seventeen more rapes and three attempted rapes. Liu Er, who was struggling to read the handwriting on the notes, suddenly raised his head to look at Wang Maoyuan, and asked: "What's the name of that raped female student, You Mou?" "Well, even though it has been so many years, according to regulations, the specific name of the victim cannot be disclosed." "Is it called You Fang?" "Old Wang, the mother of my friend is probably the victim of Zhang Jinlong's rape case, and her name is You Fang." I added. "Oh... I can't remember, but I can go to the bureau to check later. All I can remember is that the two girls who were raped soon dropped out of school." Wang Maoyuan glanced at Liu Er and sighed, "It's a crime. But this Zhang Jinlong couldn’t figure out his motive for committing the crime. Not long before committing the crime, he even contacted his girlfriend who had been dating for four years with his work unit in Shanghai. The two were reunited. The two people he raped, one A first grader and a second grader, they didn't know each other before, let alone have a dispute. From any point of view, he has no reason to do this. Moreover, so many crimes were committed on the way to escape, which is indescribable by madness , and his performance for so many years before. And Zhang Jinlong is just one of the many criminals, and most of the other criminals have no reason to commit crimes. In the book you are reading now, there are some conversation records between Zhang Jinlong and me. It’s sorted out and relatively complete.” I turned my gaze back to the notebook.The content of this conversation recorded more than twenty years ago seems very strange. "I don't know what's wrong with me, it's like being possessed by a demon. I actually did such a thing. Now I dare not think about my parents, let alone her." "What did you think when you committed the crime for the first time? Do you have anything to vent? Are you unhappy?" "I didn't think much about it. It was like a demon in my body. About a year ago, my desire began to become strong. I restrained it for a long time, but then I couldn't bear it anymore. When I saw that girl, the first time I dizzy, just..." "What kind of desire?" "That's right, I feel uncomfortable and want a woman." "Want to commit violence to a woman you've never met? Have you ever had adolescent agitation before?" What is that evil fire? How did it come from? When it comes to animal nature, everyone has some more or less, but as a normal person, living in a civilized society, the living environment and education will suppress people animality.And what Zhang Jinlong said is that the desire to destroy the long embankment of reason is very rare, especially judging from Zhang Jinlong's past experience, his reason embankment should be very strong. " Wang Maoyuan gave us the workbook that Liu Er handed him: "This should be a very isolated case, but it happened in large numbers. Most of the arrested rapists mentioned that there was such an uncontrollable desire. You know, most of them are people like Zhang Jinlong who have a clean background and no motive for committing crimes." "Can it be understood as sexual distortion?" I asked. "It can be said to be a sexual distortion, but it is a sexual distortion for which no reason can be found. This kind of distortion seems to appear overnight, and it expands rapidly in a short period of time. But during this period, there is no external cause." "So you've still found a connection between these cases, haven't you?" I said. "It's true to say that, but it's actually useless at all. From the perspective of psychoanalysis, I can't explain how such a large-scale strong sexual impulse is produced. I believe there must be a reason, but I haven't found it for so many years, and No matter before or since, there have been no similar cases. There are still many old criminal investigators who have the same doubts about the '4'23' rape gang case as I do, but they can only give up in the end. The criminal was caught, but from some kind of To some extent, this is an unsolved case." For some reason, listening to Wang Maoyuan speak slowly, I felt a creepy feeling.This was a case more than 20 years ago, and it was not a vicious murder case. Perhaps it was too bizarre, which gave me goosebumps.This case does not only affect thousands of criminals. Just think about how many cases these four-figure rapists have committed, how many girls’ lives have been ruined, and how many families have been affected. The lives of 100,000 people have been completely changed because of this, but the cause of everything is still a mystery. The criminals in this case were originally people like me who had never had criminal thoughts. What inspired their animal nature? For a while, Liu Er and I didn't speak, silently digesting the shock brought about by this huge unsolved case. "Don't say it's you guys. Now that I'm talking about this past again, I still have a very weird feeling in my heart. This is one of the two strange things that impressed me the most." Wang Maoyuan said. ''What's the other thing?" I asked. After asking, I felt a little presumptuous, but that had nothing to do with our purpose of coming here today. "That one..." Wang Maoyuan's expression became a little weird, "It's okay to tell you. This happened almost at the same time as the '4.23' case. Its nature is similar to that of the '4.23' case. The case is just the opposite." "On the contrary?" Wang Maoyuan's words aroused my great interest. "I have a friend who is a gynecologist and studies female sexual psychology. She told me this. In 1981 and 1982, a considerable number of women came to see a doctor because of sudden coldness. She thought it was Psychological problems, but I can’t find the reason. Some women originally liked intercourse, but for some reason they suddenly became disgusted. What’s even more outrageous is that a small number of women even have atrophy of the reproductive system, which is completely indiscernible from pathology. For no reason, it was as if nature had shrunk." "Ok……" Wang Maoyuan glanced at me and said, "Listen to me, don't you think there is no '4.23' rape case?" I nodded, but Wang Maoyuan asked, there must be something left unsaid. Sure enough, Wang Maoyuan said: "But if I tell you, apart from some women in Shanghai, there are other provinces where this happens?" When Wang Maoyuan was talking, I was already stunned. When he finished talking about a string of province names, my mouth had already opened into a zero shape. Seeing my expression, Wang Maoyuan smiled with satisfaction and said, "The place where the disease occurred completely coincides with the '4.23' case." Liu Er was also shocked and said, "There is such a thing?!" "This matter can only be said as a coincidence. After 1982, the number of people suffering from this disease has decreased a lot. When my friend told me about this, he and I were in the same place, and both of them were shocked. But the relationship between the two is really irreconcilable, so I have to be bored in my heart. Okay, the story is over, I don’t know if you want to read the file again? I think I have explained it in detail, because I I experienced it personally, and some things may not be on the file.” I glanced at Liu Er, I can't decide this matter for him. "Then there's no need, thank you. But please help me find out, that college student surnamed You. If her name is not You Fang, let's see if there is anyone with that name among the victims of Zhang Jinlong's rape." Six ears said. Wang Maoyuan nodded. He suddenly thought of something, raised his gray eyebrows, and said, "By the way, after this case was closed, I still kept some souvenirs. You two wait a minute. I'll see if there are any relics of Zhang Jinlong. If there are any." I'll leave it to you." Liu Er and I looked at each other, which was an unexpected gain. Wang Maoyuan walked out of the study, and after a while, he brought in a large wooden box. He opened the wooden box and put the contents one by one on the table. There are all kinds of sundries, such as pens, pencils, pens, bowls, notebooks and so on. "These are things used by serious criminals in prison. After they were shot, I kept them as a commemoration of this unsolved case. I marked all these things. Let me see if there are Zhang Jinlong's." A piece of adhesive plaster was pasted on each object crystal, and the name was written on it with a ballpoint pen.Now the handwriting on it has been blurred and faded, and it looks a bit strenuous. "Every time I encounter a major case, I will keep some things. I always think that it will be a kind of memory when I get old. But now that I am old, I don't take it out much. The messy things in the house are piled up more and more. My wife said that I have been there many times, and I am reluctant to throw it away." Wang Maoyuan said while looking for it. "Oh, yes, this is it. Zhang Jinlong, Zhang Jinlong's prison uniform." Wang Maoyuan stared at the adhesive plaster on a coat for a long time, and finally said with a smile. Liu Er took the dress, his movements were a little stiff.I think he must have mixed feelings in his heart at this time.This is a blue denim vest.The fabric is very strong, but it has been worn a lot, especially on the front, many places are visibly fluffed and thinned, and there are some holes. Liu Er held the clothes in his hands and stared at them. This very ordinary vest seemed to have a magic power that could firmly attract him. Looking at Liu Er's appearance, I'm afraid he won't be able to recover for a while.I picked up the other items and looked at them. They are all very common daily necessities. I don’t have Wang Maoyuan’s experience. Of course, I don’t feel too much when I look at these things. I just think that there are such a group of people who use these things, and I feel a little uncomfortable when I look at them. When I picked up a pen to read, my mouth involuntarily let out a "huh". This is a self-made ballpoint pen. The body of the pen is a thin steel pipe that connects to the end. I don’t know what it was originally used for. Now, I inserted a plastic ballpoint refill into it, wrapped it with adhesive plaster and fixed it, and I can write. Of course, what I am surprised is not the simplicity of this pen, but the steel pipe as the body of the pen. "What's wrong?" Wang Maoyuan asked. Liu Er also turned his head around. I wondered if it was a bit of an overkill, and pointed out my findings to them: "I wonder how it's so worn down here." At the end of the pen, which is the end of the steel pipe seal, it seems that someone has worked hard to polish it. The round edges have been smoothed, and it looks smaller at first glance.Due to the large amount of material removed, a small hole was even broken in one place, and the refill inside could be seen faintly. "This is, this is..." Wang Maoyuan muttered, snatched the pen away, and looked over and over again. "It's like that person doesn't write with the tip of the pen, but always writes with the end of the pen. Most of the time, he just takes it and grinds it somewhere when he has nothing to do." I said. As soon as this sentence was finished, Liu Er and Wang Maoyuan looked up at me together. "What are you doing?" I was a little puzzled. Bang! Wang Maoyuan thumped the table heavily: "I actually missed such an important clue!" So, what might the owner of this pen have silently inscribed in prison? Wang Maoyuan looked at me and said, "I'm really ashamed. I'm a criminal investigator, but I can't match your eyesight." I shook my head quickly: "Where, didn't you say that you don't look at this box much, because you have made detailed conversation records, so this box has no practical value for you, so you accidentally ignored it." Wang Maoyuan touched the sticking plaster on it, sighed and said, "Wu Yuzhu, Wu Yuzhu. Why didn't I pay attention when I put this label on? If I found out back then, the situation might be different." "Actually, this may not be a clue, and what the man drew may not necessarily be related to this case." Wang Maoyuan shook his head with a brooding expression on his face.Suddenly remembered something, slapped his thigh, and said: "Well, during the period when they were locked up, the cell was just emptied and ready to be remodeled, maybe it's still too late." Wang Maoyuan did it when he thought of it, picked up the phone and dialed a number, asked about the progress of the renovation project, was very happy, and immediately agreed to go in and have a look tomorrow morning. "Can we go and have a look?" Wang Maoyuan asked Liu Er as soon as he hung up the phone. "Okay." Wang Maoyuan agreed, "Anyway, it's under construction and there are no prisoners. It's okay for me to take two people to have a look." "Honestly speaking, when you first arrived at Wang's house, how did you know that the pile of books was going to be dumped?" On the way back, I remembered this incident again and asked Liu Er. "Told you already, gut." "Cut!" I disdain, but find that Liu Er's expression is quite serious. "Really, it's just a feeling. Or more clearly than normal intuition. When I saw that pile of books, I knew it was going to fall soon. I even knew the direction in which it would fall. Believe it or not, it is so." "Is there such a thing?" I looked at him suspiciously. "Do you still remember that day after I came out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, I suddenly let out a cry of surprise?" Liu Er said. "Well, I just saw a child squatting and crying." "The child was hit on the head by a fallen branch, and I had a vague premonition a few seconds before. It was the first time I had such a feeling, so I saw that my intuition had become In fact, I was also surprised." I try to remember, it seems that there were some branches next to the child that day. "Actually, since you reminded me at the Civil Affairs Bureau that I can read things much faster than you, I have started to pay attention. Indeed, my memory and observation skills have greatly improved than before. At the funeral parlor, I I didn't pay attention to the records of Zhang Jinlong's incineration before and after, but when Lao Lu asked me, I naturally remembered it. Also, do you think I'm always distracted, so ask me what I'm hiding from you?" "Are you willing to speak now?" "I found that as long as I focus on something, it is possible to intuit the state of this thing after a certain period of time, so I continue to train myself. In your opinion, I am always wandering When I entered Wang Maoyuan's study room, I glanced at the pile of books and felt that something was wrong, and then I saw that the books were about to fall. I was going to tell you about me, but I was afraid that you would not believe me, so I remind you to pay attention. as verification." "Then you have become a prophet now?" I asked him in surprise. "Not yet. I just can predict some unstable things in advance, such as a flowerpot that is about to fall, a bicycle that is about to hit a pedestrian, etc. And, it is not every shot, but the prediction success rate is always there More than ninety percent." "A long time ago, I had a guess about the so-called human intuition, do you want to hear it?" I remembered a hypothesis of my own.As someone who is infinitely curious about the world, I have made many such assumptions. "Of course, this must have something to do with my current state?" "Intuition is actually just a judgment made by the human subconscious." "Subconscious judgment? How to say?" "Human eyes, ears, skin, and other sensory organs receive far more information than a person realizes. However, these information cannot be directly transmitted to the brain for judgment. In that case, the information will explode, and you will Can't do anything. So, all the information that is too weak or judged to be unimportant is automatically filtered, and your conscious mind has no idea that you have seen or heard those things. But a lot of information that is filtered out It doesn't disappear out of thin air, but enters the subconscious of people." Liu Er nodded and said: "I heard that some witnesses could not remember the scene of the crime, but with the help of a hypnotist, they completely restored the scene at that time, just like a movie replay. Does this mean that at that time A lot of things that the witnesses saw were filtered out as invalid information, and I couldn’t remember them, but they existed in my subconscious?” "That's right. Scientists have different opinions on how much potential the human brain still has to be discovered, but there is definitely a huge space. There is a lot of information that is ignored in the subconscious mind. Perhaps intuition is the result of the subconscious mind integrating these information. It's just that the human brain is not a computer after all, and the information is not comprehensive, so intuition is sometimes accurate and sometimes inaccurate. If you use this as a theoretical basis to describe your situation..." I took out the key to open the door, and stopped on purpose Come down, I want to hang my appetite. "Because my senses are much sharper than ordinary people, and the judgment ability of the subconscious mind has improved for no reason. Taking Lao Wang's books as an example, the subconscious mind automatically analyzes the stacking angle of each book, and even takes into account subtle factors such as indoor air flow. , judged that this pile of books would collapse in a few seconds. The result of such a judgment was transmitted to my conscious mind in an intuitive way." Liu Er continued my words. "That's it. You are indeed much sharper than before, both in feeling and thinking. But when it comes to unknown reasons, do you really think it is unknown reasons?" I turned on the air conditioner and asked Liu Er while sitting on the sofa. Liu Er touched the thin black hairs that had started to grow on his arms, and said, "This may be a new ability to replace them. After all, I am still different from ordinary people." 10. Goodbye Three Rabbits When Wang Maoyuan was downstairs, I couldn't help but yawned. Today is really an early morning, and I got up before 6:30.Because the waiting time agreed with Wang Maoyuan was seven twenty.Counting the days of getting up so early in these years, I can count them on one hand. "Young man, it's rare to get up so early, right? My old man can't sleep, so happy." We walked with Wang Maoyuan, and he noticed my sleepiness not long after. I smiled embarrassedly: "It will be fine in a while." On the other hand, Liu Er is very energetic. It was the first time for Liu Er and I to go back to Tilanqiao Prison. The thick walls suppressed the emotions of everyone passing by, and my drowsiness disappeared immediately. There are still many prisoners in the whole prison, but the area we are going to is now emptied, and the renovation project has just begun.Liu Er and I showed our ID cards, filled out the visitor form, checked our belongings, and then pinned our visitor ID on our chests, and followed Wang Maoyuan into the high wall. During the inspection, I saw that Liu Er actually carried the prison uniform that Wang Maoyuan gave him yesterday in his bag, and felt strange.After letting go, I asked him in a low voice: "How did you bring this dress here?" Liu Er smiled: "It might be useful later." What kind of medicine is he selling in the gourd? I muttered to myself, I am getting more and more unable to guess what this kid is thinking. The wide courtyard between the outer and inner walls of the prison in Hong Kong movies does not exist in Tilanqiao Prison, and the tall watchtowers and searchlights with gun sentries are hidden somewhere.However, there is no doubt about the safety of this prison. The "Hui"-shaped building complex built by the British at the beginning of the last century was known as "the largest prison in the Far East" at that time. After entering the big iron gate, there is a four-story prison building, and we are going to Area C.Walking in the narrow corridor, passing through one iron door after another.Most of the people behind these iron gates are empty now, and the prisoners all go to work in the factory in the podium after breakfast. There are some construction materials piled up in the aisle of Area C. Wang Maoyuan told us as he walked that the British building structure is very strong, so this time it is only a surface renovation.Tilanqiao Prison has now become a window of Shanghai’s judiciary to the outside world, and people often visit it. It should not be too dilapidated, and it is being rebuilt step by step in a planned way. The iron doors in Area C were all ajar, and the rooms in the first section had already begun to be painted.Wang Maoyuan stopped in front of Cell No. 5. "At that time, from Room 3 in District C to Room 27, all the perpetrators of the '4.23' case were imprisoned. Wu Yuzhu, the owner of the pen, was locked in Room 5, and Zhang Jinlong was locked in Room 13. "Speaking, he pushed open the iron door and walked in. Room 5 is a relatively large cell, about ten square meters.There is only a small window on the iron door in this room, and it is not very good to open the iron door for daylight now, so one can imagine how dark it would be if it was closed inside. Having said that, those who were imprisoned there were probably not in the mood to complain about the lighting problem. The ground is terrazzo. If Wu Yuzhu's steel pipe pen was worn in the cell, the traces left can only be on the terrazzo floor. I bent down to look at the ground carefully, and Wang Maoyuan and Liu Er did the same thing.I was stunned after just a few glances, and couldn't help but sighed. It's not that no traces can be found, but that there are too many traces left on the ground. This prison has been built for nearly a hundred years.Hundreds of prisoners have been imprisoned in this cell C5. When they are bored, they have already turned the hard terrazzo floor into a big face. Although it is not full of messy scratches, there are at least three deep scratches in the two square meters around me. There are at least a dozen in the entire cell. How can I know which one is the most serious? Was it drawn by Wu Yuzhu? I straightened up in disappointment, only to see Wang Maoyuan and Liu Er were still bending over to examine carefully. I am a little strange.As far as I can think, these two people are beyond ideal. After a while, Wang Maoyuan also sighed, straightened his waist and said: "I really can't identify it. I have seen three traces that may be made by steel pipe pens. There may be six or seven traces in the whole room. I want to gain something, after all these years, I can't find the traces of that year.- I thought to myself that Wang Maoyuan tried his best to distinguish all kinds of scratches, and the fine scratches can be eliminated, but it is a pity that there are too many similar scratches in this room. But Liu Er was still moving with his hairy waist, still refusing to give up. "Do you have any way to tell?" I asked Liu Er. He made a "wait a minute" gesture to me.Wang Maoyuan looked at him, then at me, with a puzzled expression on his face, and bent down to observe the ground again.He must be wondering what Liu Er is making a judgment on. I followed Liu Er's line of sight, but couldn't see anything. "Found it." Liu Er said suddenly. Wang Maoyuan and I immediately got together. There's a scratch the size of two palms in there. "How did you know it was this?" I asked. "Don't worry, take a look at what this looks like first," Liu Er said. I followed Wang Maoyuan and squatted down, squinting my eyes for a closer look. This is definitely not a Chinese character, it should be a pattern. The scratches are deep and the edges are rather blurred.This blurring appears to be the result of over-drawing. Wang Maoyuan stood up, took a few steps back to look here, and said, "This seems to be the place where Wu Yuzhu slept back then." He walked over again, made comparisons, and said, "If he slept with his head facing this way, his right hand would be almost here. Well, it's very possible that he might be holding a pen while sleeping at night. Rifu One day, unfortunately this trace is quite difficult to identify." "Well, don't you think this pattern looks familiar?" Liu Er said to me. "Familiar?" After he said this, I felt a little familiar. "Look, there's a circle in the middle of the scratch, what's in the circle?" It is indeed a circle, in which... The traces are really a bit fuzzy, and the more I look at them, the more familiar they look, but I just can't remember them. 六耳也蹲了下来，以手当笔，画了个圆圈，又在里面画个一串连在一起的图案。 王茂元还没看出这是什么，我却立刻被点破迷雾。 “三兔图，是三兔图!” 六耳画的，就是三兔图最核心的圆圈图案——三只耳朵相连的兔子图。 再比对吴玉柱留下的划痕，没错，是三兔图。那圆圈外面原本难以辨认的曲线，依稀就是三兔图核心圆圈外如云气缠绕的一个个弧型。 “什么三兔图?”王茂元却不明白。 “是……是……”我想解释，却不知从何说起。 “就是一种耳朵相连的兔子图，就像这样——”六耳摸出纸笔，很快画了出来， “就是这样。”六耳把图递给王茂元。 “你居然能完全画出来?”我惊讶地问六耳。 三只耳朵相连的兔子图留心一下就可以画出，可四周那一个个不规则的圆弧云气十分复杂，要画出就很不容易了。六耳不是只在双圣庙里见过一次吗?那时候他可还没有过目不忘的能力呀。 王茂元接过图一看就叫了声： “是这图!” “您也看过那则新闻?”我问。 “什么新闻?”没想到王茂元反问道。 我简单地说了一下，王茂元说： “没想到还有这样的来历，不过我是在一个叫郭超的犯人的日记本上见到的，他也是'4·23'案的案犯，有时会写些日记，在本子上偶尔会见到这样的图。我当时问过他，他只说是随手画的，我就没在意。” 王茂元拿着图对比地上的图形，慢慢点头说： “没错，看起来地上画的也是这个图。” 他抬起头有些不解地问六耳：“你根据这么模糊的痕迹就能复原出这幅图?” “我这方面能力比较强。”六耳笑笑。他这么解释我倒是释然了。根据我的直觉理论，他看见这痕迹是能快速还原出原本模样的。 “而且我也见过清晰的原图嘛。”六耳又说。 他说完，却蹲在王茂元身边，取出包里的那件囚服，正面朝上铺在吴玉柱画的三兔图旁。 “昨天我还不敢确定，现在看起来我的猜想没错。”他说。 我也蹲了下来，三个人蹲在一起，头冲内屁股向外，这姿势被别人看见想必有点可笑。 “你们看这件衣服上磨损的痕迹，这痕迹比吴玉柱的要难认得多，但是，中央这个圆形的磨损带应该还是看得出的。” 六耳说得没错，中间真是有一圈圆形的磨损痕迹。 “你的意思是这件衣服上也有三兔图?但圆形内部的磨损已经完全混成一片了，外部也是，看不出和三兔图外部类似的花纹。”我说。 “你说得没错，但你看圆圈外部磨损带的走向，依稀可以看出是往八个方向的，就和三兔图一样。” “你的观察力真是不简单!”王茂元再次对六耳刮目相看，“这样看来，是三兔图的可能性相当大。” 我用手指摸着囚衣，皱眉道： “这上面的痕迹是用什么弄出来的?” “我想，就像你现在所做的。”王茂元看着我的手， “是手指画的。日积月累，画了千百次以后造成的磨损痕迹。” “只是不明白，他们为什么要不断地画着这个图。我好像感觉到什么，但就是说不出来，这个图一定是有意义的。”六耳说。 “但是他们是从哪里见到这幅图的呢?在那则新闻报道前，没有人关注三兔图的，就算是现在，知道三兔图的也只有极少数人啊。王老，您以前见过这图吗?除了在那个郭超的日记里?” “应该……没有吧。”不知为什么，王茂元的否认显得不太确定。 “这就怪了。现在可以肯定，至少有三个'4·23'案的犯人对三兔图有着严重的情结，如果大胆推广到所有案犯的话，这就是继王老您说的'不可克制的欲望'之后，另一个共同点了。”我说。 我们蹲在一起说了一会儿，很快就感觉脚有些麻，一个个站起来。 这样的讨论是没结果的，我们也明白这点，跟着王茂元再次到C13房看了眼。这间曾关着六耳生父的牢房要小些，约六平方米，我们又在地上找了一小会儿，未果，就离开了。 和王茂元分手的时候，我们再三感谢了他的帮助。 “最迟明天，游芳的事情我就能查出来。”王茂元对六耳说。 “谢谢您了，估计您还会查一查'4·23'案的事吧，要是有进展能不能告诉我一声?”六耳说。 “这都被你看出来了?我是准备一个个牢房看过来，瞧瞧是不是还有人在地上画过这三兔图。” “我看这事情没解。”路上我对六耳说。 "how?" “'4·23'案的新突破口，是建立在所有的案犯都熟悉三兔图这个大胆推测的基础上。可是那么些省数以千计的案犯，他们是通过什么渠道看见三兔图的?看见了又为什么留下如此深刻的印象，以至于关进了牢里，有事没事都要画这个图?听听都够荒诞的，事情过去二十多年，怎么查?” “那时候就看见三兔图，现在想起来只有双圣庙了。”六耳说。 “倒不只是双圣庙，记得那篇新闻报道上说，英国专家组主要是去敦煌，也许别处还有。可一般人看见三兔图不会在意的，而吴玉柱他们对三兔图的态度，简直就像是邪教崇拜的图腾……”我突然住嘴，六耳也转头看着我。 我这么随口说出的东西，倒真是有相当大的可能性。 宗教狂热是很可怕的，如果说有什么能让数千人都对某些事情绝口不提，哪怕面对死亡，宗教绝对是最有可能的力量之一。 而疯狂的强奸行为，是否是某个邪教的教义? 既然三兔图能被世界上最大的三个宗教同时采用，为什么不能有其他的小教派采用它? “这个案子会有水落石出的一天。”六耳说，他指了指自己的脑袋．“直觉，我的直觉这样告诉我。” 第二天上午九点半到十点，我连着接了两个电话，让我被迫放弃了继续睡下去的打算。 第一个电话是王茂元打来的，六耳留给他的是我家的电话。 他说了两件事。首先，我们的猜想得到证实，张金龙在大学强奸的两名女学生之中，游某就是游芳。其次，昨天下午到晚上，王茂元发动了几个年轻的刑侦队员，把C3一C27所有没重修的牢房都地毯式搜索了一遍，除了吴玉柱的划痕，另外确定了两处三兔图划痕，还有三处疑似。核对当年的关押资料，王茂元推测，留下划痕的可能都是重犯。 五分钟后的电话是梁应物打来的，昨天晚上我拜托他查一下三兔图的事。网上只有英国专家来华的新闻，却没有后续报道说他们得出了怎样的结论。 关于有无邪教以三兔图为图腾一事，梁应物还在托人查，英国专家的结论已经知道了。 其实英国专家并没得出实打实的结论，他们原本期望在考古方面能得出确切的答案，可是走了小半个中国，只证明了在古老的东方也有许多地方留有三兔图的痕迹，这些痕迹并不局限于佛教，也不局限于隋代，在元代也发现了。我想在元代的发现就是指双圣庙了。 英国专家有一个推测性质的结论，研究发现，长时间看三兔图会有使人平心静气的效果，一个英国的心理研究机构更表示，长期处在随处可见三兔图的环境中，能让人清心寡欲。而清心寡欲是所有宗教希望教徒做到的，所以这些宗教不约而同地把这样的图案采用到类似教堂的场所中。 回想起第一次在双圣庙里看见三兔图时的感觉，好像是有那么点让我平心静气的作用。但这就很难解释穷凶极恶的强奸犯们为啥也对三兔图这么热衷了。 这两通电话的效果是让我更加疑惑了，我在床上发了会儿呆，起来洗漱。而后我走进卧室。 六耳正在看窗外。现在他已经可以大大方方地把窗帘拉开了。 “王茂元来过电话了。”我说。 六耳转头看我： “他怎么说?” “是游芳。” “哦……”他缓声应着，转回头去，“我猜到了。” “一切都是有原因的。所以你该考虑一下，重新对待你母亲。” “一切都是有原因的，可是，我为什么来到这个世界上的原因，还没有找到。”六耳回避了我的问题。 “你确信'4·23'案并不是那么简单的强奸案?”我问。 “你也这么想，不是吗?” “好了，出来吃早饭吧。” 坐在餐桌上对啃面包的时候，我把王茂元的新发现和三兔图的事告诉六耳。 六耳努力往嘴里塞着面包，在我说的时候一言不发。 我一边说的时候，心里忽然想到，原本我是追查六耳身体变异原因的，怎么现在变成追查张金龙强奸案了?目标焦点的转移居然现在才意识到，看来是“4·23”案的离奇性对我好奇心的诱惑力太大了。 可是不管“4·23”案是怎么回事，应该和六耳的变异没有关系，否则，当年这些案犯欠下的孽债肯定不止六耳这一宗，变异人不是早该出现百十个了? “4·23”案和六耳有密切关系，他显然想查下去，同时为了满足好奇心，我当然也不会不管。至于六耳的基因变异，等游芳毛发的化验结果出来再说，没准儿是女方的遗传基因问题呢。 我说完两通电话的详情，六耳也把面包都吃完了，抹了抹嘴，说：“那多，你有没有想过，没准儿我们拜访一下王茂元的朋友，会有点收获?” “王茂元的朋友?你是说当年和他一起查'4·23'案的同事?怎么。你觉得他的话有所保留吗?”我皱着眉说。 “不不，我指的是另一个人——那个研究女性性心理学的。” 我想起来了，原来六耳指的是那位告诉王茂元八省一市大量女性性冷淡的妇科医生。 “你怀疑两者有关?”我问。 “时间和地点都类似，总让我觉得有点怪。” “让你觉得?怎么觉得?”我听出点意思，忙问他。 “说不清楚，只是隐约地猜想，并不像其他直觉那么明确，所以我也不确定。可是你想，万一有关系的话， '4·23'案的重犯都死了，那些性冷淡或严重到生殖系统萎缩的人可还活着啊。我想让她们看看三兔图，不知会有何反应。” “对了，你这么一说，我想到'4·23'案的轻犯不是没判死刑吗，这上面也可以着手的啊。” “这方面不用你去管，你以为王茂元查了牢房就会结束吗?特别是他又查到几处三兔图划痕，他一定会去找还活着的当事人。”六耳说。 “这倒也是。”我想了想，说，“那我就再去给王茂元打电话吧。” “算了，还是我打吧。”六耳看了看我还剩下的半块面包说。 “王茂元对我们的联想能力深表佩服。”六耳打完电话对我说。 “是你的联想能力吧，确切地说是你的直觉。怎么样，他把那个人的电话给你了吗?” 六耳扬了扬手里的纸： “张无垠，比老王年轻点，也退休了。听他说还是有点名气的女性性心理学者，出过几部专著。老王会先帮我们打个电话约一下。” “那个你问了没有，关于'4·23'案还在世的犯人?” “他这两天就找去。” 到报社还未坐定，就听见王柳那里大呼小叫： “哪位兄弟拿了我最新一期的《新发现》，哪位兄弟?”他一边叫着，一边在办公室里来回地巡视。 “完了完了完了。”他经过我座位的时候嘴里嘟嚷着， “刚寄给我要写稿的啊，难道我是跑出版的就活该被人拿书吗?每次不小心放在桌上第二天准没。” “出来混，总是要还的。”这是鬼子唐在安慰他。 “做人要厚道，要厚道啊。”王柳捶胸顿足，“那我今天的稿子怎么办啊?” “十三太饱!”一个低低的声音响起。 王柳抬眼望去，就见一个人背对着他负手而立。 “十三太饱冷面一碗。”八个字说得抑扬顿挫，那个人慢慢转过身来。如果他穿的是件赌神风衣一定很拽，可惜他只穿了件小背心，十分有碍观瞻。 王柳已经站在这里，这般贱法的，放眼全报社只剩下了一个人。当然是苏世勋。 王柳一个箭步冲上去，死命掐他脖子。 “是你小子拿的，还敢讹我的面，找死啊你?给不给，给不给?” “不是我拿的，不是我拿的!”苏世勋脑袋被摇得七歪八晃，声嘶力竭地分辩。 王柳松开手： “说，在什么地方?” “十三太饱，今天中午。”苏世勋一脸的宁死不屈，和三秒钟前判若两人。在我的引荐下，神秘冷面馆现在已经红透晨星报社的半边天。 “真不是你拿的?”王柳的小眼睛里满是不信。 "certainly!" “好好，你快说，我赶着写稿呢。” “早上上厕所的时候，倒是在厕所里见过这么一本。”苏世勋咳嗽一声，又道，“而且，这本现在的完好率至少在百分之九十五以上。” 王柳一拍脑袋： “原来是昨天上完厕所忘记拿出来。人哪，干什么事情都不能得意忘形。”他往厕所方向跑了两步，又停下来，满脸警惕地问，“什么叫百分之九十五的完好率?” “我纸不够，就随便扯了两张。放心，是广告面，上面香车美女，正合适用来擦屁股。” 片刻之后，王柳拿着小杂志喜气洋洋地跑回来。 “这是第几期的《新发现》?”我问。 “第三期。” “前几期有没?借我看看。”这是法国著名科学杂志的中文版，刚引进中国，我听人说过好几凹了，一直想翻翻。 “我找找。”壬柳说。过了会儿他扔了本过来，是第二期。 翻了下目录，看见两个让我念念不忘的字—— “基因”。 从标题看或许对我没什么帮助，不过我还是翻到了第112页。这篇文章的标题是《爱抚会影响基因》。 一个来自魁北克的研究组发表_r他们的研究结果：母亲的拥抱会在基因层面上改变孩子面对压力时的反应。进一步说，新生儿会因为和母亲发生接触而改变他们的DNA。根据这个结果，研究组认为后天环境会对幼年期人类的基因产生影响。而在此前，基因被认为是先天性的。
