Chapter 38 Disappearing Gum
Human instinct is not to swallow a foreign object like chewing gum into the stomach.Why did everyone swallow the gum unconsciously?

Chen Xingyang began to tease Yu Fan: "Old Yu. Did you play tricks on us again while we weren't paying attention?"

Yu Fan chuckled: "I didn't take advantage of your inattention, but your attention was diverted."

Everyone is surprised?What's the meaning?
Yu Fan swallowed his saliva, took a half-deep breath, and said, "The ingredients of chewing gum are mainly sugar, spices, and a substance called ester gum. Because ester gum is insoluble in water, in fact, every time we eat chewing gum At that time, the thing chewed in your mouth is actually ester gum. Potato chips contain oil, because of the principle of similar compatibility, oil can dissolve ester gum, so the chewing gum in your mouth is not actually swallowed, but It was quietly dissolved by the potato chips I gave you later."

After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized.Chen Jiayang opened his mouth to ask a question.

Yu Fan interrupted Chen Xingyang's question, and said, "Do you want to ask if this has anything to do with what we're talking about today? Of course, the missing chewing gum is actually the missing suspect."

Yu Fan grabbed another piece of chewing gum and squeezed it in his hand, and said to everyone seriously and solemnly: "But we didn't discuss the case, don't you think it's strange that I let you eat chewing gum and potato chips out of thin air? But in this During the trick, whenever I handed you food, I was directing your attention to the case, so you didn't notice anything was wrong. To use this trick, there must be two elements."

Guo Na was very curious: "These two elements?"

Yu Fan: "First, you must be able to concentrate your attention. Second, divert your attention to another point of focus. This feeling is like the original scattering of light. The caster only needs to gather the light into a beam of light first, and then Then move the light beam away from yourself, isn’t this scene a bit like the scene where the police use spotlights to hunt fugitives on TV? This technique is a high-level hypnosis technique in psychology—induction!”

Chen Frameyang hesitated: "You, you mean, we have all been induced?"

Yu Fan said firmly: "That's right, the criminal suspect should have discovered your stalking a long time ago. The reason why he should do what he should do in a leisurely manner is to induce you to shorten your 'beam' until he returns home." , You thought you could catch the turtle in the urn, so you aimed the spotlight at the only exit. This is his first step in the plan. The second step is to induce you to get used to his behavior of ordering takeaway. For three days in a row, you all think that ordering takeaway is normal When he was in the middle of the night, he successfully shifted your spotlight, so he can play a game of disappearing under the nose with his accomplices."

Chen Xingyang held his chin: "Why is this suspect so cunning, how did he know that we would take the bait?"

Yu Fan gently put the chewing gum in his hand on the table, and said: "If a person wants everything, he will get nothing. He took advantage of your urgent desire, so he induced success. He can Mastering the induction technique and being able to use it so well is by no means an ordinary person, Old Chen, our opponent may not be a simple pyramid scheme."

Chen Xingyang: "I also have this hunch, so how can we prevent being fooled again?"

Yu Fan: "If you don't want to be strong, sometimes too much concentration is not a good thing. To see people in a playground, you don't need a spotlight, you just need a diffused light. Although compared with the spotlight, its light is weak, but But it can cover the entire playground, we don't need to see everyone's face clearly, we only need to see the figure, and then we can catch these guys."

Everyone nodded thoughtfully.

Yu Fan went on to say: "Don't worry about the previous gains and losses, think about what to do next, and then try to find out the signal source of the remote control light, and then jump out of your mind to see if there are any missing details? "

Guo Na clapped his hands suddenly, and said, "I forgot to mention another important thing. I was just talking about the suspect who disappeared."

Chen Xingyang patted Guo Na on the head: "Then hurry up and say it."

Guo Na stuck out her tongue, a little embarrassed: "That's right, we saw a few big numbers on the guest table in the suspect's room later, we took pictures, you can see."

Guo Na took out his camera and saw several large numbers burned with cigarette butts on the table in the photo: "16, 5" these two numbers occupied the entire table.In the lower right corner there is a signature "Dmitry Ivanovich Mendeleev".

Everyone was surprised, what does this mean?What is this suspect trying to tell us?
Yu Fan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter.

Chen Xingyang looked blank, and said: "Old Yu? What's wrong? Do you understand?"

Yu Fanle said: "It's so rare. To meet an opponent who understands both chemistry and psychology. Could it be that this is the legendary law of attraction? Birds of a feather flock together."

Guo Na blinked and asked, "Teacher Yu, what do you mean?"

Yu Fan restrained his smile slightly, and said, "Dmitry Ivanovich Mendeleev is the author of the periodic table of elements. Dr. Guo, let me ask you, what is element No. 16?"

Guo Na: "Sulphur."

Yu Fan: "Where is number five?"

Guo Na: "Boron."

Yu Fan: "What are their element symbols?"

Guo Na: "Sulfur is S, boron is B. Does this code mean? SB? Stupid?"

Chen Jiayang was so angry that he almost jumped up from the table: "Fuck, you're too deceitful! Check it out for me! Dig them all out for me!"

Yu Fan patted Chen Xingyang: "Old Chen, calm down. If you get angry, you're following their path. The initiative is still in our hands. I want to talk to the fire dragon master you caught last time. Let's see if we can get some clues?"

Chen Xingyang: "Yes, I also have the same intention. With you here, I feel more at ease."

Yu Fan nodded: "Okay, I'll go to the bathroom first, see you later." Yu Fan walked out the door.

Guo Na quietly moved to Chen Xiangyang's side.He muttered softly: "The psychochemist you speak of really deserves its reputation. You have known each other for so long, how did Brother Yu become so powerful?"

Chen Jianyang picked up the piece of chewing gum that Yu Fan put on the table, flicked it into his mouth smartly, and recalled: "When we met, he was already very good, an excellent chemist, and at the same time an excellent chemist. An excellent psychologist, an excellent businessman, an excellent scholar, maybe in the future, he will be an excellent writer."

Chen Frameyang grabbed a few more potato chips and chewed them together with the gum, with an expectant smile on his face.
