Chapter 870: Chapter 844: Meiqiang Duo Reunited
Surrounded by layers of onlookers, a police cordon was set up, with officers maintaining order to prevent the curious from rushing inside, while the rescue personnel were using a loudspeaker to try to stabilize the criminal’s emotions.
"His car has been modified, and he’s hiding inside, which makes it difficult for our snipers to rescue the hostages. Mr. Chen, do you think you can lure him out of the car? If he comes out, our people will be able to handle him! Even if you can’t lure him out, if you can directly attract his attention so our people can approach from behind, that would work too!"
The hostage situation in the car brought huge difficulties to the rescue.
Unlike hostage rescue in a room, the car provides a wide view; once the criminal spots a rescue attempt, he could harm the hostages!
Qian nodded, she was quickly filtering through possible mental disorders the criminal might have, wondering what could cause such behavior...
An old-looking van stopped in the middle of the road, with a ten-meter radius completely sealed off, standing isolated in the middle of the road.
The rescue personnel continued attempting negotiations with the criminal using a loudspeaker, and songs could be heard coming from inside the van.
"I see the mountains... ah ah ah~"
The off-key, high-pitched voice came from the car.
"Mr. Lin, you’re here!" The district leader was sweating, but seeing Lin Ze Guang brought joy to his face.
"This is psychology expert Mr. Chen, I invited her to assist with our operation." Lin Ze Guang briefly introduced Qian.
Everyone looked at Qian with eyes full of doubt.
Such a young psychology expert?
No other profession demands such strict clinical experience requirements as the psychology expert field.
To be recognized as a psychology expert requires not only high academic qualifications but also rich clinical experience; can such a young girl manage?
Qian has always been indifferent to the voices questioning her, she likes to prove everything with her abilities.
"Please give me the loudspeaker." Qian took the loudspeaker and spoke in a standard Hong Kong accent.
"Listen up, I’m here to have a chat with you!"
"Wow! Hong Kong compatriot?" Someone beside whispered, Lin Ze Guang glanced at him, knowing the tactic!
Yu Minglang’s wife is truly impressive; she can mimic a Hong Kong movie accent as soon as she speaks, the soft and sweet feeling is completely different from her usual tone.
Sure enough, upon hearing this voice similar to those on TV, the unpleasant singing from the car stopped.
"Are you a negotiation expert?"
"Yes, would you like to chat with me? You see, the weather is so hot right now, staying in the car must be hard, right?"
"Haha! Sure enough, you are a negotiation expert, haha, I attracted a negotiation expert, la la la, I’m a little expert in selling newspapers!"
The person inside excitedly started singing.
Rambling, with jumping thoughts, somewhat like symptoms of schizophrenia, Qian was ready to keep drawing him out when suddenly an old man broke through the cordon and knelt down before Qian.
"Please don’t hurt my son, he wasn’t like this before!"
Qian turned off the loudspeaker and quietly asked.
"Tell me about the recent events with your son."
"He started a small factory but it went bankrupt because of poor financial turnover, his wife also ran away with someone else, and he hasn’t been acting right for days, I didn’t keep an eye on him and he ran out..."
"What abnormalities does he have regularly, and how long have these abnormalities persisted?"
"It started in the past couple of days, he’s been extremely excited, at times saying he’s Peter Pan, at times saying he’s Spiderman."
"Does your family have a history of mental illness? Did anything stimulate him before he fell ill?"
"We don’t have a history of mental illness, before the illness... oh, I remember now, his ex-wife made his daughter call him, possibly to have the child insult him for being useless and indebted, burdening his wife and daughter!"
It’s not schizophrenia.
Qian hearing this almost has a full picture of the situation.
If her diagnosis is correct, the individual is likely experiencing a psychotic state of hysteria.
Hysteria manifests in many states, the psychotic state being most similar to schizophrenia, differing mainly in the content of hallucinations and delusions being less fixed; a previous patient Qian encountered with erotomania belonged to schizophrenia, with very fixed delusions.
Knowing the situation makes it simpler to handle.
"Negotiation expert, why aren’t you talking anymore, come on, persuade me, I’m a little expert in selling newspapers~"
"Is it hot?" Qian asked.
"Yes, I’m sweating."
"Do you feel the temperature around you rising higher and higher?" Qian began psychological suggestion.
"I do feel a bit of that."
As Qian guided the patient’s emotions, suddenly a shout came from the crowd.
"My daughter, my daughter!"
This shout reignited the criminal’s emotions, which had been slightly calmed by Qian’s suggestions.
"I am Peter Pan saving the world, I want to eliminate all pests!"
Oh, come on!
Qian internally cursed and quickly gestured to Lin Ze Guang, who immediately led his team toward the agitated middle-aged man.
This middle-aged man is a relative of the young girl inside, and lost emotional control upon learning of the hostage incident, nearly ruining Qian’s effort.
"From now on, keep all noise to a minimum, otherwise it will delay the operation!" Qian ordered Lin Ze Guang, who promptly removed the relative.
Meanwhile, a luxury business vehicle drove up, with Yu Minglang inside heading to a business occasion, hearing his wife’s voice through a microphone from afar.
"Listen up inside, why not come out to enjoy the breeze on such a hot day."
Huh... his wife should be preparing for a competition, why is she here?
Yu Minglang spotted his anxious mother waiting outside the crowd, he went over to pat her shoulder, startling Mrs. Yu, who was focused on her daughter-in-law’s tense situation.
"Ah!"
Totally unprepared.
"It’s me, why is Qian here?" Yu Minglang asked.
Mrs. Yu briefly explained the situation, and Lin Ze Guang, who had moved the involved family members away, noticed Yu Minglang’s presence as well.
"Yu, what are you doing here?"
"Coincidentally passing by! How’s it going, can you handle it?" Yu Minglang asked, nervously breaking a sweat for his wife.
"Didn’t notice the external support yet? Of course, we can manage it." Lin Ze Guang laughed bitterly with Yu Minglang, having no other choice.
Avoided Qiang but couldn’t dodge Qiang’s wife.
"Yeah, my wife is capable, she’ll handle it." Yu Minglang said confidently, looking toward Qian.
His words extinguished Lin Ze Guang’s fears; truly, life is endlessly filled with public displays of affection, these two are set on proving their love to everyone.
At the moment, Qian continued her interactions with the criminal, persistently using suggestive tones emphasizing the heat, playing unorthodox yet never asking about his difficulties, only noting the heat without mentioning anything else.
