Lam's detective story
He was the police captain of a city branch, he was in the city Bureau special patrol detachment and police station, has been on the front line.
Lam's stories are often related to the social background and the changes of The Times.
A homicide today may have been caused by another murder 20 years ago, and that tragedy 20 years ago was caused by the social prejudices of the time.
What is even more tragic is that behind the seemingly close family relationship is the relationship of mutual use. Some even turned themselves into tools.
Ibsen once said, "What you plant in youth, you reap in old age."
I think the same applies to Lam's crime.
A professor at China Public Security University summed up crimes into two categories, "dangerous personality" and "dangerous mentality."
"Dangerous personality" is easy to explain, is the congenital type of criminal personality or childhood psychological development problems.
The serial killers I write about all the time, that's the type.
As for "heart knot", it is divided into three types:
The first is the meaning of the crime, the causes of which are often unthinkable.
For example, your classmates always insult you, you prepare for a long time, while they are in the dorm, hammer them to death.
Another example is that you hit someone by driving a car, and if you think that there are so many people who are now hit by porcelain, there is a lot of pressure on follow-up medical expenses, and if you directly hit people to death, the loss of money is within the range of bearing.
This kind of crime is often accompanied by an irrational thinking, and the mind enters a dead end.
The second is knowledge, this crime is often related to cognition, because the price rises, your house downstairs from one dollar to two dollars, you feel that the boss is not rising right, you must overwhelm him through your reason, and he has a dispute.
You think he's wrong, and in order to prove your own rationality, you argue more and more violently, and finally kill him.
Such crimes often involve arguments, entanglements, and most often issues of paranoia.
The third is complex, this kind of crime is rooted in the pain of daily life, such as parents do not love you, say you can not get a wife, relatives and friends hate you, no one to communicate.
You will become more and more withdrawn inside, want to revenge society.
So you go out into the street and you take a knife and you cut people - the most terrible crime, the most difficult to prevent, but also the one we should be most aware of.
But whether it is "meaning knot", "knowledge knot" or "complex", it often originates from a dangerous idea.
If we can face up to and try to understand the social influences behind criminal behavior, we may be more rational in the "dark moment" when dangerous thoughts arise.
