[Wine takes away the wisdom of the wise, makes the sages play, and makes the serious people smile]

This small piece of paper lay quietly on the table in the single room.

"This sentence comes from "Oside"." Wei Boyan said.

Lu Wen turned around and looked at him in surprise.

This muscular middle-aged man has already said the source of the sentence several times.

"After all, I am a graduate of a prestigious university. My grades have always been second in the department. I was also the president of the school's poetry and painting club. Don't always think that having strong muscles means you must be simple-minded." Wei Bo'an spoke casually. Showed off some muscles.

Lu Wen moved his gaze away and began to observe the house.

All the decorations in the room are old-fashioned.

There was a dusty laptop that looked like it hadn’t been turned on in a long time.

The gray curtain cloth hung limply, occasionally swaying lazily in the wind.

The sun is on the other side of the building.

Opening the closet, there were only a few other items of clothing except for gray work clothes.

"There aren't many clothes, which means he has no social needs, and he may even have no social life outside of work." Lu Wen closed the cupboard door.

Everything in this room reveals decadence and loneliness.

It seems that the owner of the room spends his daily life in a dull cycle, calmly watching the sunrise and sunset outside the window, waiting for the moment of final death.

"The deceased Wang Wei has been in this state for a long time. He has no goal to fight for. He lives day by day. Perhaps when the murderer found him, his willingness to resist was not too strong."

Lu Wen found many wine bottles under the bed.

Most of it is beer.

The rest are some low-quality liquor bottles.

"Relying on these gadgets to anesthetize yourself... If you don't have much hope for life, it is indeed a good choice."

In fact, it’s not just Wang Wei, a middle-aged man.

Many young people in Mowu are no better off.

They went to the company chasing the dream of working from 9 to 5, but found that the salary was indeed only paid from 9 to 5, and the remaining time was all voluntary overtime. If they couldn't achieve their goals, they would have to leave.

Busyness can make a person tired and numb.

"Mowu City turns a blind eye to the overtime situation of many companies. One is for economic development. Human beings will not know where their limits are unless they are squeezed harder."

Many companies in Mowu City are looking for a balance between 'extreme oppression' and 'employees jumping off buildings'.

But this balance is not so easy to find.

So jumping off buildings has become a major attraction, and Lu Wendu has encountered it several times.

"The other is to quell the increasingly violent demonstrations."

When people are exhausted from a long day's work, they no longer have the energy to participate in parades of all sizes.

The art of tired people has never disappeared for thousands of years.

The increasingly high housing prices in Mowu City are the product of this abnormal strategy. Many people live their whole lives just for a house. When they are old and about to die, they look back on their lives and find that they have had so many regrets...

Now the entire Mowu City is like a tightened string that may break at any time.

Other cities are similar.

The two cities to the west were already in chaos, with flames rising on every street along with the riots.

Although the cause is because of the androids, in the final analysis... the androids can no longer divert the public's anger.

"Why was this deceased targeted by the murderer?"

A crime punishable by death.

Judging from Wang Wei’s life experience...

"There was an explosion at the shipyard where he was engaged in quality inspection, resulting in five deaths and two injuries. The incident was ultimately judged to be improper operation by employees, and the shipyard lost a large sum of money. The report did not identify which employee was responsible for the improper operation. "

But after the explosion, Wang Wei was fired from the shipyard.

Since it was all mediated internally, the Executive Directorate did not have too many records on the explosion case.

"It seems that the only employee who was fired was because of his improper operation."

In the days that followed, Wang Wei changed many jobs, most of which were unsatisfactory.

Eventually he started working in pipe repairs, which he continues to do today.

At present... except for Du Changqing, who died second, the other three had some relationship with the Desheng Company that collapsed more than ten years ago.

"I checked the Desheng company and found that it was not established more than ten years ago, but a company that had experienced great storms more than thirty years ago," Lu Wen said.

"Really? It seems that I was wrong, but more than ten years ago it was indeed the golden age of tourism development and the most serious period of competition." Wei Boyan responded.

In the early years after Desheng Company was established, many ship capsizing accidents occurred.

Moreover, these accidents were posted on the Internet by rival companies, causing great discussion.

The public opinion of the society almost drowned the small company that had just started more than thirty years ago, but the company persisted tenaciously, implemented internal rectification and reform, standardized the system, spent a lot of money to calm the public opinion, and spent twenty years of stable development.

Then came the golden age of tourism more than a decade ago.

The company began to expand its recruitment.

Not only this company, many companies are expanding their recruitment.

As a result, twenty years of safety and peace were broken again. Perhaps because the training of a large number of new employees was not done well, the ship capsizing accident occurred again, causing a sensation.

"So development must not be rushed. This is the consequence of vicious competition." Wei Boyan said.

"Let's go find someone." Lu Wen picked up the note on the table.

"A wine seller?"

"Um."

Lu Wen asked Feng Fugui for surveillance.

As Wei Boyan said, it is indeed inconvenient to do business in other regions.

If it was in the Thirteenth District, Lu Wen himself would have the right to call for surveillance in most areas.

"Surveillance surveillance shows that the deceased often went to a small shop not far away, where he bought these drinks, and often chatted with the owner of that small shop for a long time."

The owner of the canteen is called Huang Qi.

Lu Wen checked Huang Qi's information and found something very interesting.

"This Huang Qi also worked for Desheng Company. More than ten years ago, he and the previous deceased were recruited into the expanding Desheng Company."

What happened to this company more than ten years ago? Capsized

Apart from a large number of capsizing incidents, there seemed to be nothing else going on.

It was these influential shipwreck incidents that led to the final collapse of Desheng Company.

"Could the murderer be a survivor of a boat capsizing more than ten years ago? Later he moved to District 10..." Lu Wen shook his head and denied this speculation, "Judging from the murderer's style, this should not be just a simple incident." "The revenge will definitely involve something deeper."

The canteen is very close to here.

The two went downstairs and walked for about five minutes to the entrance of the canteen.

"Is it Huang Qi?" Wei Boyan took out his ID.
