Chapter 68 Memory Fragments, Reciting

"But, look at these -"

Mu Yang said, showing some words she intercepted from Xia Jing's transcript.

"Before Xia Jing joined Jin Kaihao's proofreading team, she had heard rumors about Su Ting. From the information I compiled, it can be seen that the rumors and official statements about Su Ting are

The gap is huge. Xia Jing is not willing to give up the opportunity to gain exposure to publishing experience. There is no problem in choosing to join the proofreading group. Firstly, it has been a long time. Secondly, besides Xia Jing, there are three girls in the group.

Individuals in a crowd are more likely to feel safe than alone."

Xu Yang understood what Mu Yang meant, "It's like going to a haunted house. You don't dare to play alone, but you dare to play with friends. Is that what you mean?"

Mu Yang smiled at Xu Yang, "That's what it means. We can use the analogy of playing in a secret room and a haunted house. The sense of security brought by the group allows us to dare to enter the secret room. However, because of the environment of the haunted house, we have to wait for the whole process.

Or will we maintain a high degree of concentration and precautions, for example, before pushing into the next room, will we be very cautious and very slow, because we need to confirm whether there is an NPC hiding behind the door?"

Everyone was brought into her hypothetical secret room environment by Mu Yang and nodded subconsciously.

Lao Huang and Lao Du are old, especially Lao Huang, and they don't even know what an escape room is. Fortunately, Mu Yang explained it in a simple and detailed way. Although they didn't have a sense of empathy, they could understand it.

Mu Yang continued, "Similarly, for Xia Jing, Jin Kaihao is a secret haunted house. It's not surprising that she dared to walk in. What's strange is that she knew that Jin Kaihao might have inappropriate behavior towards female students.

, and also had abnormal trust in Jin Kaihao, such as asking Jin Kaihao to help him rent a house."

Some things, mixed in a bunch of clues, were not eye-catching, but after Mu Yang picked them out alone, everyone also discovered something strange——

Lin Che was the first to speak, "Xia Jing could imagine that it would be unsafe for a little girl to sign a rental contract with a male landlord alone, but she asked Jin Kaihao to accompany her to sign the contract; the group work ended late, and she did not choose to go with other girls, but let her

Jin Kaihao sent her back to Jincai's apartment alone; there was a problem with the water pipes and circuits at home, but she did not contact the real estate agent, but contacted Jin Kaihao."

Mu Yang nodded and looked at Lin Che with bright eyes, as if no matter what he said, he would always be the first to understand.

"Xia Jing, who has bags and jewelry, won't say anything until she admits it. Now even primary school students know what 520 and 1314 represent. After Xia Jing received a red envelope with such a sensitive amount, she actually believed it when Jin Kaihao explained it casually,

And he didn’t confirm it with other team members, which is also problematic.”

"Yeah!"

Xu Yang followed Li Li's words, "The most exaggerated thing is that two people live in the same room. Even if this hotel has no vacancies, don't you know how to change to another hotel? Xia Jing is willing to change the hotel even though she knows the rumors between Jin Kaihao and Su Ting.

It’s okay to go on a business trip with Jin Kaihao, it’s work after all. But if you are still willing to live in the same room, isn’t it clear that you are providing opportunities to others?”

Xia Jie added another point, "It's also a bit strange that she went to Jin Kaihao's house to submit her thesis alone. "Death in the Wild" was written by Jin Kaihao and Xia Jing had already analyzed it in her thesis.

Even though this is a story about a man seducing a woman into having sex, how could he still not notice anything wrong with Jin Kaihao, yet still go to submit his paper alone and stay for dinner?"

"Yes, that's what it means."

Everyone's participation made the entire analysis atmosphere very good. After everyone had finished speaking, Mu Yang gave a summary——

"If Xia Jing was an ignorant, unprepared, innocent little girl, then there would be nothing wrong with what she said and did. But judging from the fact that she reported the case decisively, knew how to retain evidence, and was clear about these things during interrogation, she

Those previous behaviors are abnormal."

Everyone nodded in unison. Obviously, Mu Yang's analysis is easy to understand even without the use of complicated models and statistics and just ordinary people's thinking.

In addition, Mu Yang also discovered other problems.

"Let's take a look at Xia Jing's memories of the rape process during the three interrogations——"

Li Li volunteered and read this part of the three transcripts.

"Did everyone find anything?" Mu Yang asked.

Everyone else shook their heads in confusion. Only Lin Che frowned slightly as she looked at the three transcripts that were compared together on the screen. He felt something was wrong, but he couldn't explain it.

"The problem is that Xia Jing's statement is too uniform. It's almost exactly the same three times."

Mu Yang spoke, and others became even more confused. Wouldn't it prove that Xia Jing was not lying if they were exactly the same?

Because the things involved are relatively professional, Mu Yang was afraid that it would be difficult for everyone to understand, so he also used analogies to explain.

"The human brain's memory of an event is very complex. We use the five senses, hearing, vision, smell, touch, and taste to remember an event in multiple dimensions. These memories are stored in the brain like pieces of a puzzle.

When we need to recall this event, what the brain will do is put these puzzle pieces together to form a complete picture."

"But because there are so many puzzle pieces, apart from the core part of the matter, some other things may be misspelled, which is what academic circles call memory fragmentation distortion."

"To give a simple example, you and a classmate met in the supermarket. You talked about another classmate at the class reunion last month. In your memory, that classmate was wearing a red skirt, but the other person remembered that it was a blue skirt.

Colorful. The skirt that the classmate wore on the day of the party must have only one color, and one of them must have remembered it wrong."

"Let's assume that the classmate was wearing a blue skirt. What is the reason that caused you to remember it wrong? The first type is that there was another classmate wearing a red skirt at the class reunion, and you misremembered the two.

, this is an error in spatial memory; secondly, if you have seen this classmate wearing a red skirt on other occasions, it is an error in time memory. Both cases are pieces of the memory puzzle.

wrong."

Originally, when Mu Yang talked about human brain memory and puzzle pieces, everyone thought it would be very obscure and difficult to understand, but they didn't expect that it would be easy to understand when she gave an example.

Zhou Yun said thoughtfully, "Now that I have said that, I remember that I always remember that I have a kid who owes me a meal, but he insists on saying that it doesn't happen. Is this situation just a memory?"

Are the pieces spelled wrong?”

Mu Yang nodded, "It's possible."

"Then I have to think carefully about who owes me a meal!"

Zhou Yun's words made everyone laugh, but their attention quickly returned to Mu Yang.

"Back to Xia Jing's case. Rape itself is a thing that will have a strong psychological impact. In the case of resistance, panic, and struggle, the human brain's memory of this incident is prone to loss and deviation.

Or it's confusion, which is why many rape victims have inconsistent accounts of what happened."

"Xia Jing's situation is even more special. According to her description, her consciousness was unclear when she was raped by Jin Kaihao, which would lead to a greater gap between her memory and the actual situation. In other words, her puzzle pieces

process, the error rate will be higher.”

"But in her three transcripts, her recollections of the incident, even the details, are almost exactly the same. This shows that Xia Jing is not recollecting, but reciting!"
