Enchanted By His Charm

She glanced at his eyes, and it also seemed that she was looking elsewhere and looking worried. "If the murderer is just a servant, then it indicated that he must bear a deep grudge against William for many years. As far as I am concerned, the Lake family barely hires new people. Those servants have been working here for more than three years. But the murderer decided to take action now, which means that he has lived in hatred for a long time and must keep finding the chance to kill William. People would have different logical thinking when they tried to commit a crime. From the incident of William, I can tell that the murderer is hot-headed now since he poisoned two people twice in such a short time, though he had borne the grudge for many years. He is eager to achieve his goal and wants to take revenge as soon as possible. He is usually sober, but his psychological thinking is fragile and radical."

Talking about that, she stared at Joseph's eyes and continued, "But you reminded me just now. I have a method to find out the murderer. Even though I can't find out who he is immediately, I think I can get some clues from that."

"What kind of method?" Joseph asked.

"I will use a simple method to find out some people who are suspicious." Irish blinked while saying.

"Tell me the details." Joseph was interested in it.

"When I had my criminal psychology courses before, the professor told us that we can find out the criminal through his behaviors, eyes and even his logical thinking because his psychology must be different from the ordinary people." Irish stared at him and explained, "When we are faced with a case of mental illness, we will adopt the method of testing, using some simple questions to measure the mental state of the patient and then analyze the answer to get a conclusion. We will use different questions when facing various symptoms. So don't look down upon this test because a man with mental problems will definitely answer differently from ordinary people."

Joseph glanced at her and waited for her to continue.

"Well, I will give you two popular questions now." Irish sat up and tightened her nightgown. "These two questions are about criminal psychology and criminal BT psychology. I used them for case analysis when I was in school, but now they have become jokes among netizens."

"Okay." Joseph nodded, and he was willing to accept the test.

"You are sleepless one night, enjoying the beautiful scenery on the balcony, but you happened to witness a murder. When you are about to call the police, the murderer suddenly discovers you and looks at you directly. But soon you find that he points in the direction where you are, then please tell me why." Irish asked him the first question.

"He is trying to tell me that he has remembered me," Joseph replied after thinking for a while.

Irish smiled after hearing his answer.

"Is that the right answer?" He was curious.

"It is an answer of ordinary logical thinking. But don't forget that it is actually a test for the consciousness of the criminals." Irish looked at him and then said, "The correct answer is that he is counting the floors you are standing on."

"Well, here comes the second question." Irish cleared her throat and continued, "Let's assume that you are a thief and you sneak into a rich man's house to steal, but you are discovered by the owner who goes to the toilet at midnight, and he runs to a cupboard without a lock. You have a knife in your hand, and what will you do next?"

Joseph kept silent for nearly a minute and then answered, "I will wait for him to go out and kill him with the knife."

It was a chilling answer while Joseph was speechless.

Irish was startled by his answer, looking at him like a stranger.

Seeing that, Joseph smiled and said, "I am afraid it is close to the correct answer, right?"

Irish nodded.

"Well, what kind of conclusion you have drawn through the answer." Joseph smiled and added, "After getting the logic from the first question, it is easier for me to answer the second question.

"The questions seem with the same logic, but I can infer your mental state from your answer based on the two identity assumptions on you." Irish smiled, and it looked reluctant.

Joseph also perceived her vigilance from her eyes and said helplessly, "You are too sensitive. You can't judge people's mental state in this way."

'You are wrong. In fact, the questions don't matter at all, and there is no standard answer for this kind of question. We focus on the respondent's logical direction to answer the question. Yes, we can't decide the mental state completely through the questions, but we can have an overall understanding of the psychology of the respondent."

Joseph thought for a while and replied with a smile, "Well, then you can analyze my psychology through these two questions."

Irish took a deep breath and pulled his hands, crossing with his slender fingers, "You are the passive part in the first question, and through your answer, I can tell that you will be vigilant if you are passive. But in the second question, you are the attacker, and I learned that you are good at scheming, and you are sober but cruel."

"Huh?" He raised his eyebrows slightly.

"It could also be used to analyze your commercial means." Irish stared at his fingers and said quietly, "You are a man who is good at plundering. You are ferocious when attacking others or pillaging the profit from others. You are intolerable to others' betrayal or unreasonableness. Once defended by others, you will be composed outwardly, but in fact, you will torture the person who offended you in a calm and patient way. And if you suffer a setback, you won't trust anyone as a hedgehog and wait for an opportunity to kill the other. You always advance gradually and entrench yourself at every step. Your opponents who don't know you well will have a bad result in the end, just like the trip to South Africa. I take it as a bloodless killing business trip."
