Film and Television: My Cheat Code is AI

Wang Ye, female, 27 years old, graduated from Harvard University in the United States with a doctoral degree in psychology.

Her resume is legendary in the Beijing Criminal Investigation Corps. She was admitted to the Department of Psychology at Peking University at the age of sixteen, completed her undergraduate studies in three years, and published her graduation thesis in the "Acta Psychologica Sinica". Her advisor said in front of the entire department, "I can't teach this student."

She went to the United States at the age of nineteen and pursued a combined master's and doctoral degree in the Department of Psychology at Harvard University, where she studied under Professor Richard Cole, a leading scholar in the field of trauma psychology. Among Professor Cole's students, she was the third to obtain independent laboratory access in her first year of doctoral studies.

My doctoral dissertation, "Early Identification and Intervention Pathways for Adolescent Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder," was published in the *American Journal of Psychiatry* and was recognized as a Breakthrough Study at the APA Annual Meeting. During my studies, I also served as a counselor at the Boston Area Youth Mental Health Crisis Intervention Center, where I treated over 400 cases of traumatic minors. After graduation, I completed postdoctoral research at McLean Hospital, affiliated with Harvard Medical School, specializing in the interdisciplinary field of criminal psychology and post-traumatic stress disorder.

He was specially recruited into the police force by the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security last year. The special recruitment document only had one line of approval reason - "This comrade has outstanding professional ability and is of great significance to improving the psychological profiling and crisis intervention level of the criminal investigation team." After six months of training at the police academy, he passed all subjects of law, physical fitness, shooting and combat, and his shooting score ranked third in the squadron.

After graduation, she was assigned to the Beijing Criminal Investigation Corps, where her job was psychological analysis and victim crisis intervention. The senior members of the corps initially thought that this girl was just an office worker doing research, until she used seven interjections in the suspect's confession recording to pinpoint the motive in the dismemberment case in the northern suburbs, drew a psychological profile in two days, and solved the case without any confession.

When Zhang Yang first arrived at the Criminal Investigation Department, he had heard of this amazing person. She had completed her bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees in just a few years, all in psychology, and with a full scholarship from Harvard. It wasn't just a place to get a degree; she genuinely earned an academic achievement award. When people in the department talked about her, their tone carried something indescribable, as if they were talking about someone who didn't belong to this world.

Zhang Yang called Qin Liguo early in the morning.

When the call connected, Zhang Yang didn't exchange pleasantries. He concisely described Jiajia's condition in the ward, each point like a case report: what symptoms she had, how long they lasted, the shape of the ligature mark on the back of her neck, whether her eyes had moved after she entered the ward, and whether she had uttered a single word. His report was clear, full of practical information, without even adding his own judgment.

After listening, Qin Liguo remained silent for a short time before speaking, his tone decisive and leaving no room for negotiation.

It's not "I'll think about it" or "I'll coordinate with the headquarters," it's simply that if they need this person, they'll provide him.

"I'll send Wang Ye there."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yang returned to the ward and said to Ji Jie, "Sister Ji, the person will be here soon."

Ji Jie breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then let's wait for a bit."

Tian Rui walked in carrying steamed buns, soy milk, and fried dough sticks, and said, "Wow, business is really good at the hospital entrance. We've been waiting in line for more than ten minutes."

Zhang Yang picked up his soy milk, ate a steamed bun, and said, "I've heard that there's a 'people-benefiting steamed bun' place near this hospital that's incredibly delicious."

Tian Rui said, "Well, we've got another foodie in our group."

Zhang Yang said with a smile, "I don't know about other things, but when it comes to food, I know it like the back of my hand."

Ji Jie laughed too. Jiajia was still lying there, not eating or drinking, staring at the ceiling, until she was tired and sleepy and fell asleep.

That can't be considered sleep; it's more like the body's defense mechanism put her to sleep.

At 10:30 a.m., Wang Ye was dressed in a women's suit, with black stockings, red-soled high heels, and gold-rimmed glasses.

He came in and said, "Zhang Yang?"

Zhang Yang stood up and said, "Hello, I am Zhang Yang."

Wang Ye took the initiative to shake hands and said, "I am Wang Ye. Team Leader Qin sent me here."

Zhang Yang pointed to Jiajia on the bed and said, "It's all because of this girl."

Wang Ye nodded and said, "I understand. Could you please go outside first? I need to talk to her."

Ji Jie said, "Okay, no problem."

Ji Jie pulled Tian Rui outside, with Zhang Yang following closely behind. As soon as they stepped outside, Tian Rui said, "This...this outfit is for police officers too?"

Ji Jie quickly shushed her, saying, "What nonsense are you talking about? She's a returnee from overseas, and this pair of companions looks great."

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "This kind of outfit is rarely seen in China. Teacher Wang came back from overseas, so maybe she just likes to be fashionable."

[Target: Female, approximately 27 years old, 173cm tall, weighing approximately 53kg. Gait analysis: Foot placement is straight, vertical displacement of the center of gravity is minimal, and arm swing is controlled, consistent with characteristics of someone who has received professional police training—not from a domestic police academy system, likely the result of short-term intensive training after joining the force.]

[Outfit Analysis: Women's suit skirt, a new seasonal style, with a fitted waist and single-breasted design. The fabric is a blend of wool and silk. High heels, with red leather soles, approximately 8cm high, providing superior ankle stability. Stockings are black seamless knit, with a brand label at the waist. Glasses, with gold-rimmed frames, brand engraving on the inside of the temples, and lenses with blue light blocking coating. Handbag, the leather texture and hardware plating match the brand's characteristics; market price approximately NT$120,000 to NT$150,000.]

Zhang Yang whispered, "Did you guys see her handbag?"

Tian Rui nodded and said, "It seems to be a new seasonal item from Hermès?"

Ji Jie was taken aback and said, "You know that?"

Tian Rui raised her head and said, "Sister Ji, have you forgotten the luxury goods theft case we solved last year? We worked hard for a month and a half to finally find the thief. That thief sold genuine products as fakes. I spent a whole month and a half researching luxury goods, and now I occasionally read magazines."

"And don't forget, I graduated from a fashion design college and then transferred to a police academy for a bachelor's degree."

(I don't know if this is true or not, but Tian Rui said in the original drama that she became a police officer after graduating from a fashion college. Here's a fan-made interpretation.)

Ji Jie said, "How expensive could it be?"

Tian Rui said, "Sister Ji, that one bag of hers is worth many years of my salary."

Ji Jie looked at Tian Rui in surprise, and Zhang Yang nodded and said, "I guess this Teacher Wang really likes being a policeman, otherwise why would someone with so much money be a policeman?"

Ji Jie nodded as well.

Wang Ye walked out of the ward, gently closed the door, and only spoke after the door was completely shut.

"Acute stress disorder, with obvious dissociative features." Her voice was not loud, and her speech was steady. "In the hour she was inside, she only said one sentence to me, 'Don't touch me.' Her eyes were evasive, and her body was curled up, a typical defensive posture, which is directly related to the traumatic memory of her mother's murder. She now identifies everyone who approaches her as a threat."

She pushed her gold-rimmed glasses up a little and continued speaking.

"The core symptoms of the avoidance period have all appeared: emotional numbness, loss of interest, and slow response to external stimuli. When you talk to her, her pupils reflex to light normally, but she completely lacks attention to tracking. Simply put, her consciousness is protecting her and actively blocking out things that she cannot bear."

"I'll be coming over every day for the next three days." She looked at Zhang Yang and Ji Jie. "There's only one principle: safety first. Don't talk to her, don't touch her, don't mention her mother in front of her, and don't do it on the day the proposal is issued. If she wants to cry, shout, or throw things, let her vent, as long as she doesn't hurt herself. Traumatic memory reconstruction requires a stable environment; any forced emotional arousal could cause her psychological defenses to completely collapse."

She paused, her tone softening slightly.

"Three days later, if the stabilization period goes smoothly, I can try to use cognitive interviewing techniques to guide her in a low-stress retelling of the traumatic event, at which point a composite sketch might be produced. But I must explain in advance that the credibility of this sketch will not be very high. At the time of the incident, she was in a state of high perceptual narrowing, with her attention focused on the core features of the threat source, and almost no peripheral information was encoded. In the process of post-traumatic memory consolidation, imagination and reality may become confused. What she draws may include both the facial features of the perpetrator and details that she has added herself in countless nightmares."

She looked around at everyone present.

"Therefore, a portrait can only be used as a reference clue for cross-referencing, not as direct evidence for identification. Do you understand?"

Zhang Yang said, "Understood, then thank you for your hard work, Teacher Wang. We'll be waiting for you to come over these three days."

Wang Ye nodded and said to Zhang Yang, "I took a taxi here this morning. If you have a car, could you give me a ride back to the team?"

Ji Jie nudged Tian Rui, who immediately said, "Yes, yes, here are the car keys."

Ji Jie said with a smile, "Here are the car keys. Make sure you get Teacher Wang back to the headquarters safely."

Zhang Yang was taken aback, then smiled awkwardly while holding the car keys and said, "Teacher Wang, this way please."
