High-IQ crime has always attracted the attention of the public, and shooting high-IQ crime movies is also one of the enduring themes of the film industry. Today we take stock of a few cases of well-known high-IQ crimes at home and abroad, and look at the imprints left by these smart people who do not take the usual path in the history of crime.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="9" > the first serial killer to provoke the police</h1>
Start with a highly intelligent criminal abroad, not because he is
Foreigner, but because his criminal journey is too typical.
Ted Bondy is the prototype of the famous thriller film Silent Lambs in the man-eating Hannibal. This high-IQ serial killer who dares to provide psychological portraits of criminals to the local police is the most typical high-IQ killer--- he is the only doctor among serial killers, he is handsome in appearance, extraordinary temperament, he has a good social status, he is also a successful person who is invincible in the love field, he has very good anti-reconnaissance ability, he is the murderer of at least 36 serial murders. The only fact that everyone is not mistaken is that his victims are almost all women.
Tracing the childhood of this charming-looking killer, experts generally believe that his perversion and killing are related to his chaotic life--- he was born without knowing who his father was, so he was thrown into an orphanage by his birth mother. A few months later, his maternal grandfather decided to adopt him, and legally, Ted's maternal grandfather became his father, and his mother became his legal sister.
Aside from a bit of confusion in the ethical relationship, Ted's other childhood experiences seem normal and warm, but no one knows how he grew into a demon--- contracted the habit of petty theft in junior high school, began to fall in love and broke up after high school, in order to heal the love wounds, he began to steal habitually, but this did not prevent him from continuing to study. Ted earned a bachelor's degree in psychology and even reached the pinnacle of his life--- he entered law school.
Ted's method of killing is very violent, shockingly his two-faced life inside and outside the mask--- daytime, he is a highly qualified student of law, holding important positions in the government department, sought after and loved by female colleagues, everyone envies his eloquence and rich knowledge, as well as the disguise before the killing process--- at least 36 murders caused panic and police reminders, have not been able to identify his danger of the victim women. Still blinded by his rhetoric, they believed him, followed him, and for various reasons, walked into his pre-set death cave.
The police painted a portrait of the serial killer, but mistakenly targeted the people who looked abnormal--- had a history of mental illness or a history of sexual crimes. The police could not believe that people who looked personable, well-educated and professional would be killers.
This portrait made Ted one of the most famous high-IQ killers--- misleading the judgment of the professional police.
Next, another classic bridge section was staged---- Ted deliberately drove the car, actively exposing himself to the police's interrogation line of sight. The police conducted a routine inspection and found handcuffs, masks, ropes and other items used in the crime from his car.
Mortals like me couldn't understand the same operation as such a psychotic episode, so Ted was charged with murder, then put in jail, and then he escaped several times and succeeded. After the first escape, he stole a car, ran to another city, and was caught; the second time he succeeded again, put on makeup and went to the airport, flew to other states with a forged identification, and continued to commit the crime, and how many people were killed before and after, he himself can not remember. Finally, in the statistics of the police, there were 36 victims who could be identified and confirmed.
The confrontation with the police seems that Ted has the upper hand, but when the police investigate other cases, he still exposes the crime, and this time, Ted does not escape from prison, he arrogantly goes to court, and begins to defend himself. He has deep legal skills, and he is too difficult for the police and judges to be a serial killer. Fortunately, justice is in the hearts of the people, and fortunately, the state that tried him has the death penalty, no matter how he will exploit the loopholes in the law, the facts are all there, and the devil is still in the law after all.
To this day, Ted's motives for killing and his provocative behavior against the police are still mysterious, after all, he has too many places that do not meet the definition of serial killers by criminologists--- no childhood of sexual abuse, no love history of being insulted and spurned by women, and no psychological trauma that is not accepted by society. It can only be said that demons are born.
Guess what, Ted's killing genes may be related to his biological father, whom he has never found.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="10" > second genius teenager who killed his mother</h1>
Compared with Ted Bundy, who killed at least 36 people and probably countless victims who have not found the body, Wu Xieyu, who killed only one woman and became one of China's most famous high-IQ crimes, is much more "kind".
But this only woman is enough to make Wu Xieyu a typical example in the history of crime--- this woman is his biological mother who depends on him.
Wu Xieyu's family does not have any ethical problems, he is the only son of his parents, and grew up under the care of a combination of a serious mother and a lively father. What is completely different from Ted is that before the incident, Wu Xieyu did not have any illegal records, and even under the strict requirements of his mother as a teacher, he had a series of proud labels--- a famous student bully, a genius admitted to the Department of Economics of Peking University, a top score in the world for studying abroad examinations, good interpersonal relations, and his hard power can ensure that he will not waste his efforts to enter law school.
Similar to Ted, after Wu Xieyu killed his mother, for nearly a year, no one found out that Xie Tianqin had died, if Wu Xieyu did not take the initiative to send that text message to his uncle, no one knew how long it would take for everyone to find out that this genius teenager had made such a shocking choice. Maybe this is also a common feature of high-IQ criminals--- they all want to challenge the police.
The strange uncle called the police, the police came to Xie Tianqin's residence, pried the door into the house to see a terrifying scene--- no living breath in the house, the curtains were tightly closed, even the wallpaper gap was carefully pasted, the ground was scattered with wires, the camera and the alarm were facing the living room door and the master bedroom, when the police arrived, they looked up, facing the camera.
No one dared to think about the mentality of the people on the other end of the camera who looked at this scene.
The police pushed open the bedroom door, and the foul smell filled the room in an instant. Like a scene from a horror movie in a bedroom, the black tape renders the whole room a hell, not a trace of sunlight can penetrate, and a corpse lies on the bed, thickly wrapped in plastic film layer after layer, and each layer is still placed in the middle of activated charcoal. The corpse's face was no longer recognizable.
Years later, the scene when Xie Tianqin was discovered was repeatedly rendered in media reports. Because people can't figure out how Wu Xieyu's motivation was to use the knowledge he had learned over the years to kill his mother and set up such a scene--- if it was to monitor the situation in the house, why did he take the initiative to send a message to his uncle more than a year later, which led to the crime?
On the way to escape, like Ted, Wu Xieyu also purchased forged identity documents, and also hid in bars as a male model, playing a game of cat and mouse with the police. Of course, the mouse will definitely be caught by the cat, but it is only the evil act of killing the mother, and the motive has not yet been solved. The relevant personnel exhausted their theories and could not fully explain Wu Xieyu's behavior. Many people have speculated that Wu Xieyu's murder must also have a delicate relationship with his father--- although Wu's father had already died of liver cancer.
Presumably, with Wu Xieyu's high IQ, although he was not a law student, he must have known that in China, no law could save him.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="11" > third place, killing invisible N2</h1>
In recent years, due to multiple suicides of paraquat, the public has come to understand a word called pulmonary fibrosis, and has learned that once non-transplantable organ fibrosis, people will undoubtedly die. Paraquat is therefore innocently banned because there is no cure for this thing if it is used for poisoning.
So what can cause liver fibrosis? I am afraid that only highly intelligent medical students can answer this.
Fudan poisoning case, followed by the Tsinghua University thallium poisoning case that has not yet been conclusively resolved, was exposed, and the murderer is also a high-IQ criminal in the eyes of ordinary people---- Lin Senhao, a graduate student of Fudan University School of Medicine in Shanghai, with a score of 780 points in the college entrance examination, who has won the Fudan Graduate Student National Scholarship and published 13 papers in core academic journals, of which 5 are the first authors.
It is also reasonable--- even if ordinary people want to poison, how many people know how to obtain this poison and its toxic rationality? I'm afraid it's not poisonous to others, so I poison myself first.
When Lin Senhao was pointed to by conclusive evidence and taken away by the police for repeated interrogation, he finally admitted what he had done and confessed his thoughts before poisoning: thinking that the Zhu Ling case at Tsinghua University had not been solved, he felt that he would not be convicted. The implication is that the police don't understand poison and can't solve the case.
Whether it is thallium or N2, it is not a poison that ordinary people can access, nor is it a poison that ordinary hospitals can quickly locate accurately, and the inability to accurately locate often means delaying the precious treatment time, and patients are often unfortunate. Because of this, after Lin Senhao put poison into the water dispenser in the dormitory, the victim in the same bedroom, Huang Yang, quickly became unwell after drinking water, but it was not until he died after 13 days of painful torture in the hospital that the hospital finally determined the cause of death--- was poisoning. Before this, Huang Yang's symptoms have been treated as ordinary gastroenteritis, and the poisoner Lin Senhao is sitting on the edge of the hospital bed at this time, watching the tortured roommate without saying a word--- According to Lin Senhao himself, he and Huang Yang are not bad on weekdays, the two do not have any deep hatred, and the cause of poisoning is just April Fool's Day to deceive the roommate.
If Lin Senhao had stood up at this time and told the doctor or the police what poison he had cast, it would have been obvious that the final result would have been different. Even if Huang Yang was still untreated in the end, this act could at least save Lin Senhao's life. Tracing the childhood of this high-IQ murderer, it is also a quiet and waveless life, without any outstanding features. It is hard to say that there are some places worth mentioning, probably that Lin Senhao's family is not in a good economic situation, the family has five children, the father runs a grocery store, the mother does not have any job, and has heart disease, Lin Senhao is introverted, does not like to joke, and has a dull personality. Unlike Huang Yang, who lives with him, Huang Yang is very eloquent, generous and outgoing, likes to joke, and occasionally there will be jokes to stimulate Lin Senhao. But before the incident, all this seemed so normal, Dr. Huang Yangkao got good results, Lin Senhao also went smoothly, and both of them had an incomparably bright future.
The media also paid attention to Lin Senhao's father, after all, Lin's father was a figure who had been active in the public eye during Lin Senhao's detention and trial. Unfortunately, the media mostly commented negatively on Lin's father's behavior, and even attributed Lin Senhao's crime to family education. For example, Father Lin refused to apologize to Huang Yang's family during the trial, insisted on defending his innocence, asked for an apology and was rejected in order to change the verdict in the second instance, and even used the pressure of public opinion to hope that the court would change the verdict, until finally he still believed that his son's fault was that he should not admit guilt, rather than poisoning.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="1" > conclusion</h1>
With the improvement of the overall level of education in society, high-IQ crime has become more and more common. Among them, the extremely vicious criminal offenses are particularly eye-catching. Behind these cases are often the epitome of social problems of one kind or another, reflecting many modern social diseases. How should every individual in society love himself and others? This is the problem we have to face.
