Views:

According to Shen Liufei's testimony, Captain Tao quickly pulled a head out of the mess. Sexual harassment in the workplace must be an investigation direction, and there are not many companies in Hanhai City that design the theme of secret rooms, and more will be held in the near future. It's the only one. The information of the suspicious man in the group photo quickly surfaced, and it was indeed Cong Ying's boyfriend named Li Rui.

The archives are clean and clear at a glance, without the stains and records they expected, on the contrary, they are brilliant and excellent. Thirty-three years old, a graduate of a prestigious school, an outstanding young entrepreneur in the city, an outstanding volunteer in the city, anyway, a top student who has been rooted since childhood, and a lot of information can be found online. Now, Li Rui has opened a secret room theme design company called Qoli, which is still somewhat well-known in the industry.

Tao Longyue couldn't understand Li Rui's file: he is a very good young man, why did Cong Ying's father Cong Zhiming strongly oppose his daughter's marriage to him

After getting a clue about the case, Captain Tao took Ding Li to the previous company where Cong Ying worked, thinking that Cong Ying's abrupt resignation might be related to "sexual harassment".

Ding Li is a girl with a lovable personality. She came here to get evidence last time, so she quickly found out from Cong Ying's former colleague that the biggest boss of this cultural company is surnamed Niu, whose name is Feifei. Boss Niu is in the company. In front of his wife Jin Qian, he is the grandson. The little girls in the company are all afraid of it, saying that Mrs. Niu is both violent and suspicious, and she is in charge of the east and the west on weekdays. She is afraid that some little fox will steal her husband.

The management of the company is basically married men, and the design department where Cong Ying is in the HR department is a female leader. Cong Ying's former leader is named Lang Li, over 30 years old, with a good temperament, and she looks good at talking. Ding Li was asking her about "sexual harassment". A woman with a lot of makeup came over and shouted in a loud voice, "What's the matter? Did you pay your wages to let you chat?"

This woman is Jin Qian. At the same age as Lang Li, at first glance, the facial features are still beautiful, but they can't hide the dust and oldness of the face. The company next door is being renovated, and there is a sound of decoration from time to time. Jin Qian obviously doesn't want to cooperate with the police investigation, and she suddenly has a reason for trouble. She shouted at Captain Tao: "You police don't care about disturbing the people, it's so outside. Noisy, what should we do?!"

After shouting, he walked away in three steps.

Ding Li quietly glanced at Jin Qian's feet, and shook her head at Tao Longyue. The footprint inspection has concluded that the suspect in the back garden of Cong's house has analyzed and concluded that this woman's height, body shape and the specific size of the shoes are all related to the inspection. The results do not match.

"I'm sorry, our boss lady has such a temper." Seeing the boss's wife walking away, Lang Li shook his head apologetically to Captain Tao and Ding Li, and sighed softly, "Before Xiao Cong left, we had a good relationship, but after leaving, we lost touch. But once I heard her mention that she was not only harassed, but also seemed to be stalked and intimidated by the other party's wife who didn't know anyone."

"I want the people to cooperate with our police work like you, so that they won't worry about catching criminals." She is also a woman, Jin Qian is a hot and choking pepper, but Lang Li is as sweet as a Wang Qingquan, and she is very fond of Ding Li. good feeling.

"If you want the people's police to be as beautiful as you, there are still people who want to commit crimes, and they all come to see you." The second time they met, Lang Li also seemed to have a good impression of Ding Li, so she took the initiative to leave her WeChat, saying Willing to cooperate with police investigations at any time. She expressed all regrets, "Xiao Cong is a beautiful girl, and there are many bees and butterflies around her. It's a pity to die at such a young age."

After leaving the last company where Cong Ying worked, Tao Longyue planned to go to Li Rui's secret room design company to continue the investigation. He suddenly thought of Xie Lanshan, who was locked up by Lao Tzu, so he called him a condolence call. Old-fashioned rules, aside from greetings and courtesies, when they come up, they are sarcastic and do their best.

"It's getting hot, direct traffic under the big sun, be careful the traffic police become 'focus' police, and pay attention to sun protection."

"I'm white, so I can't tan."

"Then practice more biceps. The elevated car will break down. You have to push it with the driver."

"If you don't have any serious business, I'll hang up," Xie Lanshan was too lazy to talk nonsense to this person. "I'm so busy to solve the case. Forensic doctor Ren Su is a pretty lady, don't let other gentlemen get in first."

"Don't, don't hang up." Tao Longyue finally asked him if he wanted to check Li Rui together.

"No." Even the police card was confiscated, and if he went to the door rashly, he would break into the house without permission. Xie Lanshan was reliable this time, and he refused directly on the phone, saying that he wanted to see a psychiatrist.

"No, you still give in?"

"Everyone in the world is drunk and I'm awake alone," Xie Lanshan said a little inexplicably as he took the bus to the mental rehabilitation hospital, "Then I'll be drunk with you guys."

It's not that he gave in. On the one hand, the police card has been confiscated. If he doesn't bow his head, he really can only look at the door. On the other hand, it is also because his insomnia and headache are getting worse, especially recently, every time he sees a lot of blood, it will get worse. This symptom, and sometimes even seeing the red chemical fiber carpet on the ground, he has a headache.

He is a criminal policeman, a bloody criminal policeman, just like a chef who can't eat salty, it wouldn't be laughable to say it out.

Tao Longyue heard the "di-di" sound of the passenger swiping the bus card from the phone: "You didn't drive?"

"I don't want to drive recently." Xie Lanshan held the phone between his neck and caught a glimpse of a pregnant woman clutching her stomach as she walked through the crowded passengers. Without thinking about it, she immediately got up to give her her seat.

Unexpectedly, this girl with a sticky face and a high belly is not a pregnant woman at all, she is just a "pregnant" smell from fat. The girl put down the hand that she had just unintentionally put on her belly, and her face flushed: "I... I'm not pregnant... "

The passengers in the car all slanted the girl, eyes like knives, and someone muttered contemptuously: Too fat.

"I gave up my seat because you are beautiful." Xie Lanshan responded quickly, almost without hesitation, he found a step for himself and others. He smiled white teeth at this plain-looking girl, with a focused, passionate and Looking at each other with sincere eyes, he sincerely praised, "You are so beautiful."

He had never been praised so sincerely, especially when the praiser was such a beautiful young man, and the girl's face turned even redder. She sat calmly in the eyes of the passengers around her, and straightened her chest with pride.

Tao Longyue on the other end of the phone heard it: "Don't be rude, I'm telling you something serious."

"Then it's serious." Xie Lanshan smiled warmly at the fat girl who had been staring at him, turning his head to remind Tao Longyue, "And the woman who set fire to the monitoring room."

"Ding Li and the others have gone to collect and compare the footprints of the woman left at the scene. Shen Liufei said that Cong Ying had confided to him about sexual harassment in the workplace, so we have reason to suspect that those who set fire to the surveillance room and left footprints in the back garden It's the same person, maybe the wife of the male management of a certain company." Tao Longyue said, "Cong Ying has worked for two companies successively. According to this line of thinking, she was originally looking for a needle in a haystack to search for sand in the waves, and now her goal is clear. , greatly saves time and cost. But I still don't understand, why did the murderer imitate the painting by Shen Liufei?"

Xie Lanshan said: "You will know if you ask."

Tao Longyue asked back, "Who? Shen Liufei?"

Xie Lanshan originally wanted Tao Longyue to interrogate that Li Rui, thinking about it, it is not impossible to ask Shen Liufei.

Tao Longyue, when Xie Lanshan still suspected the expert, explained: "Shen Liufei's suspicion has been ruled out. We checked and he did watch two horror movies in the cinema that night, one at 12 o'clock and another at 2 o'clock. , I went out for no more than five minutes, and I watched the second game with you. The forensic doctor said that Cong Ying's family died from 11:30 to 12:30. The neighbor who watched the first half of the Premier League witnessed Cong Ying's death. Ying is still quarreling with her boyfriend Li Rui at 11:45, and it takes about 45 minutes to drive from Jingjiang Garden to the cinema near your house, so from the perspective of the time of committing the crime, it is impossible for the murderer to be him."

Xie Lanshan let out an "um", as if he was lost in thought.

"However," Tao Longyue thought for a while, and added, "The surnamed Shen still makes me feel uncomfortable. I can't tell you. I think his eyes are too cold."

It was quite cold. But it's not a deliberate coldness and rejection, but a deep sense of alienation, which he took pains to hide behind his outstanding appearance and good upbringing.

Flowers in the fog. Xie Lanshan thought, no matter how beautiful this flower is, it is separated by a layer.

When he arrived at the station, Xie Lanshan hung up Tao Longyue and got out of the car.

The Mental Rehabilitation Hospital is just 500 meters away, so looking over, you can see a very elegant white house.

Xie Lanshan made a confirmation call to the mental hospital in advance, and learned from the front desk on the line that the psychiatrist in charge of treating her was a woman. He stopped in front of a flower shop near the hospital and planned to buy a bunch of flowers.

The little girl in the flower shop greeted Xie Lanshan very warmly, thinking that it was for her girlfriend and asked him to choose roses, saying that who doesn't like roses, between lovers, it is more appropriate to send roses.

"That's not necessarily true." Xie Lanshan blurted out, "There are some freaks who don't like roses."

"Your girlfriend doesn't like roses?" The little girl was very clever, and immediately held out another bouquet of beautifully bundled lilies, "Then give this one, the perfume lily always likes it."

"It's not a girlfriend either," Xie Lanshan suddenly thought of Shen Liufei, wandered around in his mind, but couldn't find a suitable adjective, "Just a freak."

After paying the money and leaving the flower shop with Lily in his hand, Xie Lanshan took a breath, did the last psychological construction, and went to the mental rehabilitation hospital.

Xie Lanshan guessed early in the morning that the psychiatrist would definitely talk to him about PTSD, about nightmares, insomnia, and a big change in personality. Others said, he didn't think that, anyway, these common symptoms of PTSD, he almost lived.

Although he often had headaches, he refused to admit that it was caused by psychological trauma. When his father died, when his mother was crazy, he was not traumatized. How could he be so vulnerable, just a single Mukun traumatized him? Therefore, in order to avoid too much entanglement with the psychiatrist on this issue, Xie Lanshan decided to use his attraction to the opposite sex, cut the mess as quickly as possible, and get a result to fool his superiors.

Xie Lanshan held the flower, stopped at the door of the psychological consultation room, raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Please come in." A very pleasant female voice sounded inside the room.

Xie Lanshan pushed in the door and was stunned the moment he met the female psychiatrist.

The other party was also stunned, and a particularly beautiful face showed a mixed emotion. After a long time, a professional smile appeared.

She said, Alan, long time no see.
