Ju Xiaoxing is now in a vegetative state where her brain has stopped thinking. Her vision has basically no effect. If the only hearing that can receive hypnotic instructions is blocked again, doesn't it mean that she will fall into a deep sleep forever and cannot wake up?
Li Mengnan put Ju Xiaoxing's hand back under the quilt, broke off a banana from the fruit basket on the table, and asked while peeling it: "Officer Wu, has anyone been here recently?"
Wu Ansu was stunned for a moment and said truthfully: "According to Ju Xiaoxing's parents, only some classmates from their department have visited her recently..."
"Is there a list?"
"Who would remember that thing? But if necessary, we should be able to find out...what happened?" Wu Ansu had a vague feeling that Li Mengnan might have discovered something.
Li Mengnan's cheeks were bulging, like a greedy hamster, and he said vaguely: "If I guess correctly, the murderer is among the people who visited Ju Xiaoxing recently."
"How can you be so sure?" Wu Ansu asked in surprise.
Li Mengnan had obviously poured cold water on her just now, but she had new clues so quickly.
"Ju Xiaoxing told me." Li Mengnan's eyes lingered on the girl on the hospital bed for a moment, then he stood up and said: "Obviously, the murderer must have learned from some channels that Ju Xiaoxing's condition was stable... If he wanted to control this
For this kind of condition, only a hypnotist can do it.
The murderer obviously had little confidence in his hypnosis, or maybe he didn't know the limitations of hypnosis at all. He was worried that the hypnotist who treated Ju Xiaoxing would recover the real memory hidden deep in his subconscious, so he decided to take a desperate risk and...
Set a logic bomb in her mind to destroy all her memories, and then seal off her hearing so that she can no longer hear the outside world, thereby completely eliminating the hidden danger."
Li Mengnan's speculation is reasonable. Now that Ju Xiaoxing has begun to recover, the murderer hiding in the dark does have the motive to kill and silence him.
However, Wu Ansu still didn't understand something and asked: "Then how can you be sure that the murderer is among the people who came to visit her recently? Maybe the logic bomb was planted by the murderer a long time ago in order to be prepared.
What about a day like this?"
"You think so because you don't understand the hypnosis technique of logic bomb." Li Mengnan shook his finger, "Logic bombs have very strict format requirements for detonating keywords - for example, if the keyword set by the hypnotist is '
If you have three words "I'm sorry", then these three words can only be connected together completely. Synonyms like "Sorry, sorry, SORRY" will not have the detonating effect.
Because of this characteristic, hypnotists must face two choices when using logic bombs - either set unique keywords for precise detonation, or set a wide range of keywords for fuzzy detonation.
If you choose the first option, since the keyword is unique, if you want to detonate the logic bomb, it must be executed by the hypnotist personally, or the keyword must be transferred to others in the form of sound and text for indirect execution. The time is precise, but it is easy to leave clues.
.
If you choose the second option, you can certainly preset a wide range of keywords in advance so that you can detonate the logic bomb without the hypnotist personally executing it. However, because the keyword range is too large or the frequency of occurrence in daily life is too high,
This can easily lead to uncertainty in the detonation time.
It's like sawing off the legs of a chair. Although you know it will fall if someone sits on it, the problem is that you can't be sure when someone will sit on it.
Now do you understand why I can be sure that the murderer is among the people who came to visit Ju Xiaoxing?"
Although Li Mengnan did not directly explain this matter, Wu Ansu understood it.
The detonation method used to set up the logic bomb is not the key. The key to the problem lies in the time difference.
Obviously, the murderer became determined to kill and silence Ju Xiaoxing after learning about his recovery. Therefore, whether it was a logic bomb that had been set up in advance or a logic bomb that was temporarily planted, he had to do it himself.
achieve this purpose.
This also means that the criminal who knows how to use hypnosis must be hidden among the people who have visited Ju Xiaoxing in the past few days.
Although the number of people is still more than a dozen, the scope this time has been shrunk enough. The results are obviously about to be revealed. If they can't find out anymore, Wu Ansu feels that he no longer needs to be a policeman, so he should stay honest.
Get married and have children.
It seems that catching the murderer is only a matter of time now, but Wu Ansu is still more concerned about Ju Xiaoxing's condition in the hospital bed.
"Then Ju Xiaoxing...can you do anything?"
Wu Ansu felt a bit pushy when he said this. Li Mengnan had repeatedly stated that he was not a professional hypnotherapist. What's more, the only channel through which Ju Xiaoxing could receive hypnotic information had been maliciously blocked. It was impossible no matter how he thought about it.
Any way.
"You've asked the right person." Li Mengnan proudly took out a cigarette, suddenly remembered that this was a hospital ward, put the cigarette back, took out a piece of chewing gum and put it into his mouth, and said with a slight smile: "If it were something else,
Hypnotists, if you encounter this situation, they will definitely tell you to prepare for the funeral directly! Not to mention that the hearing is blocked, even if it is an ordinary vegetative state, they will still be blind..."
What Li Mengnan said was just to discuss the matter, and he did not mean to look down on the hypnotist.
The difference between ancient illusionists and modern hypnotists is actually a bit like the difference between internal martial arts and external martial arts.
They are all playing tricks on the human brain. The hypnotist's technique is from the outside in, using the human consciousness to influence the human subconscious.
The biggest feature of this technique is that it is simple and easy to learn. As long as you have decent talent, you can basically master it quickly in two or three years.
However, this outside-in approach also has its limitations. This hypnosis method relies too much on the human conscious mind. Once the conscious mind cannot accept or process information, all instructions given by the hypnotist will completely lose their meaning.
.
Vegetative people just fall into this situation.
Illusionists are just the opposite. Although they often use images and sounds to guide consciousness like hypnotists, their hypnosis of the brain does bypass the conscious mind and directly act on the subconscious mind.
In other words, even if the conscious mind like Ju Xiaoxing is no longer able to process any information, as long as the subconscious mind is still active, the illusionist can mobilize her subconscious mind to repair her conscious mind.
Of course, Ju Xiaoxing's hearing is blocked, which is indeed a minor trouble.
If you don't have hearing, you can't receive hypnotic information, and if you can't receive information, you can't release auditory blockage. It seems to be an endless loop.
But for Li Mengnan, this is just a bit of trouble - there is no guarantee that there are no deaf people in the audience watching the magic. Is it possible that tricks involving illusions are not performed anymore?
"So you can cure it?" Wu Ansu was pleasantly surprised.
The most troublesome thing about a vegetative state is that she has no self-awareness at all. Even if Li Mengnan cannot restore Ju Xiaoxing to normal, as long as she can make her respond to external stimuli, the subsequent treatment will be much easier.
"It can be cured, but..." Li Mengnan seemed a little hesitant, stared at Wu Ansu and said cautiously: "My treatment method may be a bit special, you must ensure that no matter what I do, you can't hit me..."
