Chapter 36
The family of Captain Kyle Schulman arrived at the investigation headquarters on time at 8 o'clock the next morning.
When Lina told Fucheng that the captain's family had been waiting for him in the conference room, Fucheng was stunned at first. He looked up at the clock on the wall. "At 8:02, so on time?"
Lina smiled and said, "In fact, they entered the door at 8 o'clock, and it was no shortage of minutes."
Fucheng nodded thoughtfully, took the recorder and the information book and came to the conference room.
In response to the inquiry of the family of the captain who died, Fu Cheng was mainly responsible for the responsibility, and Su Fei assisted the situation. After the two opened the recorder, Fu Cheng was straight to the point: "Please feel sorry for me. My name is Evan Fu, and I am a member of the UAAG air crash investigation team, and I am mainly responsible for the investigation of the American Airlines 4012 accident. We have seen it last night. Is you here today to ask about Captain Kyle. Is this the son of Captain Kyle?"
Fucheng turned his head and looked at the big boy sitting next to Mrs. Shulman.
When he arrived at the hotel last night, he only met Mrs. Schulman, but not her son. This is the first time he met.
This is a big boy who looks like sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a small brown-red suit and a brown bow tie around his neck. Fucheng suddenly asked him, and he was stunned and did not answer immediately, but looked at his mother, as if seeking her advice. Mrs. Shulman looked pale, and her hands tightly clamped the hem of her clothes, opened her mouth uneasy, and helped her son answer: "Yes, he is my son David."
Looking at the interaction between the mother and son, Fucheng pondered for a while and smiled and said, "Hello, David, you can call me Evan."
David lowered his head and said nothing.
Su Fei glanced at the mother and son, and even if it was him, he felt that these two people seemed to be strange.
Fucheng continued: "Then let's learn about Captain Kyle's daily life first. I read the information that he is very healthy and has regular physical examinations every year. It seems that he will go to the gym every week to exercise?"
Throughout the morning, Fucheng and Su Fei conducted detailed interviews and inquiries with the captain Kyle's family.
David Schulman hardly spoke much. He always lowered his head and answered everything by his mother. Mrs. Schulman also looked cautious. She listened to Fucheng's every question very carefully and tried her best to solve his doubts. Both of them were wearing bright and beautiful and formal outfits, but their cautious appearance seemed to be two suspects being interrogated.
Fucheng personally sent Shulman and his son to leave the investigation headquarters.
After the two left, Su Fei turned off the recorder and said in confusion: "If I hadn't known, we were investigating an air crash, not investigating a murder. With their guilty look, I really suspect that the mother and son are the murderers, at least they know who the murderer is." Su Fei looked at Fucheng in shock, "Damn it, I'm right? Captain Kyle has a tendency to commit suicide. His family knows this, so he is so scared and help him hide it?"
Fucheng: "..."
"Have you watched too many American TV series?"
"It's all written on TV. Otherwise, Brother Fu, tell me why Shulman and his son are so nervous. There is no evidence yet to prove that it was the captain's fault, and the pilot on the flight that day was not Captain Kyle, but the deputy captain Tim. If it was finally found out that it was a human reason, the more likely party at fault should be Tim, not Kyle. Why are they so afraid?"
“…”
"You can't say it, either."
Lina passed by, looking at Su Fei's proud expression and Fu Cheng's speechless look, she smiled and said, "What's wrong? The interview went wrong? Can you tell me?"
Fucheng suddenly remembered that Lina said that she had a master's degree in psychology from Yale University. Unlike Su Fei's guess, in Fucheng's opinion, Shulman and his son's performance was not like a ghost in their hearts, but seemed to have some special psychological disorders.
Thinking of this, Fucheng looked at Lina with a solemn expression: "There is indeed something I want to ask you. The specific situation is like this..."
Fucheng told Lina all the stories of interviewing Shulman and his son in the morning.
Lina's expression became more and more serious.
"Fu, maybe I should interview Shulman and his son with you." Lina received other jobs temporarily in the morning, so she asked Su Fei to take over her and receive Shulman and his son with Fucheng. She said: "From my experience, you guessed that Shulman and his son are not because they think Captain Kyle Shulman may be the person in charge, and they feel guilty. But because they have no backbone to give them choices."
Lina explained: "In 1967, American psychologist Seligman proposed the 'acquisitive helplessness' effect when conducting an experiment on a dog. He locked the dog in a cage and turned on the beephone. As soon as the beephone sounded, he would electric shock the dog. The dog was locked in a cage and could not escape and could only be forced to be electrocuted. After several experiments, he opened the beephone again and opened the cage door at the same time. But not only did the dog not run, but it would fall to the ground and groan when the electric shock was not turned on. Because it had lost the ability to ask for help and grasp hope, it was actively waiting for the arrival of the electric shock. This was the learned helplessness effect."
"If a family is too strong, there will often be two changes for children. The first is excessive rebellion, and the second is learned helplessness. If you don't know how to resist, you won't resist, or you won't resist, even if you are old enough to resist your parents, but because you are bound by an invisible cage and shocked by electric shock from childhood, they have lost the ability to escape, so they will not get rid of this difficult state."
"Of course, David Schulman has not reached the point of "actively waiting for electric shocks", but it is obvious that he is a long-term oppressed child. When you speak to him on your own initiative, he does not answer you at the first time, but seeks his mother's opinion. This shows that in his subconscious, he does not have the right to actively communicate with the outside world."
Fucheng frowned and said, "But in my opinion, Mrs. Shulman is not like a very strong person."
"Where is Kyle Schulman?"
Fucheng's heart tightened, and he looked up at Lina.
Lina: "A family may not need two fascists. As long as there is a strong enough father, he will be able to control his wife and son. Now the master of the family has suddenly passed away, and his wife and son have lost their backbone at once. So they don't know how to choose."
"After the plane's wreckage was discovered, they didn't come to Boston as soon as possible because no one told them to come, so they were waiting at home."
"When UAAG asked them to come to Boston for an interview and inquiry, they set off. Because they received the 'order', they numbly accepted the order and came to the city."
"You told Mrs. Schulman last night that you would wait for them at the survey headquarters the next morning at 8 o'clock, so they showed up at 8 o'clock, no matter what time it was."
Lina sighed: "Little Shulman is only sixteen years old, but Mrs. Shulman has been 'educated' for many years. Perhaps in this family where the father is too strong, the one who is really affected by the greatest influence is not his son, but his wife. She no longer has the ability to take the initiative to escape from the cage. Of course, all this is just my analysis. I have not directly talked to the mother and son, and the specific situation cannot be clearly distinguished."
Fucheng was silent for a long time, and he turned around and said to Su Fei: "Kyle Shulman, his personality is extremely strong."
Su Fei was already stunned. After a while, he nodded: "Okay, I'll write it down."
Lina: "Fu, let me receive the interviewees with you next."
Fucheng nodded gently.
Psychology is a mysterious and important science. When asking the respondents, Lina can better judge the other party’s true intentions from the other party’s tone, words, and even expressions. This is also the reason why Zhuo Huan asked Fucheng and Lina to be responsible for the investigation of relevant personnel together.
In the afternoon, the two met with American Airlines and the airport staff again.
I made an inference about Captain Kyle's character in advance, and when Fucheng asked the question again, he had a directionality.
Fucheng: "You have ever flew with Captain Kyle? What was the situation when you were on duty together?"
The pilot interviewed was stunned and replied: "Captain Schulman is a serious pilot. He is very good. The time we flew together was the flight of the plane, and I was responsible for radio communication and instrument inspection. His driving skills were excellent, and there was no bump in the whole journey. He was a very respectable and excellent pilot."
Lina: "When you fly together, is there anything that impressed you?"
He thought for a while: "Yes. Once when the flight attendant came to deliver the meal, I ate a meal B, and Captain Shulman ate a meal A. But he didn't like the taste of a meal A, so I asked to change the meal with him. But he refused harshly. It was only an hour later that he ate a meal B that the flight attendant brought to him."
Fucheng: "Okay, we know. By the way, I'll ask you one last question. The information shows that you have already flew together five times, but you have always called Captain Schulman, not Captain Kyle... Why?"
The pilot blurted out without thinking: "I feel that this is the name, and I respect Captain Schulman more. He doesn't seem to be a joke."
Fucheng and Lina looked at each other.
After the pilot left, Fucheng wrote in the information book: "Serious, old-fashioned, not easy to get close to."
Lina: "Because he doesn't like meal A, he insists on eating meal B, which reflects the stubborn but unflexible side of his personality. When the deputy captain proposed to exchange meals, rejecting the other party was a manifestation of a strong personality and an authoritative personality. And paying attention to the words of the pilot was a strict rejection. In his subconscious, he might not even realize that he still remembers this. So he did not notice it subjectively, but subconsciously believed that Kyle Schulman was very strict and he had a hint of fear."
Fucheng: "..."
"The planes you removed were all bought by Mai Fei?"
He said lazyly: "Yeah."
Fucheng: "..."
It turns out he is a fake rich man!
Fucheng had no expression on his face: "Then I'll call Lovens back."
Zhuo Huan couldn't help laughing: "Well, I've removed the Airbus A390."
Fucheng looked at him strangely, and his eyes signaled: You just said that Mai Fei didn't buy you another plane.
Mr. Zhuo asked back: "If Mai Fei doesn't buy it, I can't buy it myself?"
