Wen He, 37 years old this year, is a middle-level manager of Xinmin Manufacturing, a state-owned enterprise. From early to mid-July this year, he followed Sha Chun to learn the guzheng at "Jianjia Bailu". What he bought was a three-month course, and he was supposed to study in October, but he was suddenly sent to Europe on a business trip halfway through, so he had to suspend the course.
When Sha Chun died, Wen He was not in the country. He had just returned to Dongye City a day earlier, and he was going to go to Europe in a week.
Wen He was not a suspect, so Mingshu did not invite him to the Criminal Investigation Bureau, but went to Xinmin to make it himself.
As a middle management, Wen He has a separate office. The office is not big, probably because Wen He won't be here for long this time, so there is nothing on the table or shelf.
Mingshu noticed the medicine beside the computer screen at a glance.
Wen He looked ordinary and was very polite. He poured tea and greeted Ming Shu to sit down. When he moved the chair, he saw the medicine and quickly put it away in the drawer.
Mingshu recognizes the packaging, and if I remember correctly, it should be a drug for depression.
"Do you have depression?" Mingshu asked directly.
"Ah..." Wen He was closing the drawer, paused, and didn't hide, "Well. But I have been insisting on treatment. After going abroad, the situation is much better, and it will not affect my work. I'm sorry, I just came back, things are a bit messy, let me you saw it."
Mingshu pondered the phrase "does not affect work", and initially judged Wen He's personality in the workplace—steadfast, willing to work, a little inferior to himself, caring about others' evaluations, and putting work first at all times.
Treat patients with depression with caution, but fortunately, Wen He's degree is not serious. Mingshu pondered the language and asked, "It's convenient, how did you get depression?"
Wen He looked slightly embarrassed and took a sip of tea, "Can my answer help you investigate the case?"
Mingshu said sincerely: "Yes."
Wen He took a breath, "Okay, okay, let me prepare."
A very serious and down-to-earth man in the workplace - Mingshu commented in his heart.
"I got divorced last year and my children followed my mother. This incident hit me hard. In addition, I also encountered some setbacks at work during that time, and I was very depressed." Wen He said: "I can't get out. I didn’t want to tell my friends, so I checked it online and found that I might have a psychological problem.”
Mingshu said, "So you took the initiative to see a doctor?"
Wen He nodded, "I'm not interested in anything, I'm not motivated, I haven't done a good job in the first place, and after a psychological problem, I can't do it well. I can't sit still."
Mingshu asked, "Which hospital? Which doctor?"
Wen He hesitated, but finally took out a business card and handed it to Mingshu, "This one."
Mingshu frowned slightly when he saw the information written on the business card.
Luo Yi, Jiulin Psychological Clinic.
Jiulin Psychological Clinic belongs to Guangye Hospital and is just across the street from Dongye Medical University.
Mingshu asked, "What is the age of this Doctor Luo?"
Wen He said, "I'm about the same age as me, and I'm pretty good. I'm already the director when I'm less than forty."
He was only in his thirties, but the "university teacher" Long Tianhao saw was in his fifties.
Mingshu did not continue to think about it, "How long have you been treated in Jiulin?"
"Well... I went in December last year. I went every week at first, and then once a month." Wen He said, "I have to go back this time. I made an appointment with Dr. Luo the day after tomorrow."
Mingshu said, "Do you mind showing me your medicine?"
Wen He immediately took out the medicine, "I have changed the medicine several times. I didn't take this medicine for a long time. It was changed by Dr. Luo after the severity of the medicine was relieved."
Mingshu watched for a while and put the medicine on the table, "Apart from taking the medicine, did Dr. Luo suggest you do anything?"
The question was very targeted, but Wen He obviously didn't catch it. After thinking for half a minute, he said, "By the way, I'm going to 'Jianjia Bailu' to learn the guzheng, which is what Dr. Luo meant."
Mingshu's eyes were sharp, "Dr. Luo asked you to find Sha Chun?"
Wen He was staring at him uncomfortably, he laughed awkwardly, and changed his words: "No, no, Dr. Luo doesn't know Sha Chun. I signed up for Sha Chun's class myself, and it has nothing to do with Dr. Luo."
There was a contradiction, Mingshu thought about it in his heart, and asked again: "But you really said just now that you went to 'Jianjia Bailu' to learn the guzheng, which is what Dr. Luo meant."
"I'm not accurate, I'm sorry." Wen He explained: "Doctor Luo suggested me to develop a hobby in my spare time, such as music, art, playing ball, and said it could help with treatment."
Mingshu said, "So you chose the guzheng?"
"Actually, I didn't choose it." Wen He said, "I have no hobbies since I was a child, only learning and taking exams. When I was studying, male students liked to play football and basketball, and female students liked to listen to songs. I'm not interested, I think it's a waste of time."
Mingshu thought, another Yu Xiaocheng
"When I first went to Jiulin, Dr. Luo reminded me to relax the pace of work properly and cultivate hobbies, but I couldn't listen to it at that time. After taking a lot of medicine, I was not so depressed. Dr. Luo suggested a few more. Back, I just started thinking about what hobby to cultivate." Wen He said, "At the end of June, once I came out of Jiulin, I met a child who was handing out leaflets."
Mingshu asked, "A flyer for 'Jianjia Bailu'?"
Wen He said: "That's right. Although I have no interest in music, I usually listen to folk music on TV, and I feel comfortable listening to it. I thought maybe it was a chance. After watching 'Jianjia Bailu', I felt that everything was okay. Well, I signed up."
Mingshu asked: "Is it a child who sent you the leaflet?"
"Well, kid." Wen He had never dealt with a criminal police officer before, so he didn't understand why Mingshu's question was always so strange.
"How small a child?"
"It's... so tall." Wen He compared his height, "Seven or eight years old, it looks like it won't be more than ten years old anyway."
Ming Shu was silent for a while, and led the topic to Wen He's family.
Wen He was born in a rural area. He passed the college entrance examination in Dongye City, and has since settled down.
In fact, Wen He's family is somewhat similar to Ran He's. They both have several sisters, all from poor families.
The difference is that Ran He has relied on his wife and father-in-law all these years, while Wen He has been relying on himself, and has moved up step by step, and finally rushed from a grass-roots employee to a middle-level management position in a state-owned enterprise.
Wen He didn't have any love experience when he was studying, and he was dedicated to learning. His ex-wife met on a blind date after a stable job. I can't say how much they love each other, but they both have marriage needs, so they came together five years ago.
The family situation of the ex-wife can't be said to be good. Her parents are urban dual workers, and they look down on Wen He's background. After the marriage, the couple had constant small frictions. Most of the time, Wen He let his ex-wife.
Last year, the ex-wife filed for divorce on the grounds that she could not feel the passion in the marriage, and the ex-wife's parents strongly demanded that the child who just turned three years old be taken away.
Wen He manages marriage as a job. Knowing that his wife has many dissatisfaction with him, before his wife decides to divorce, he is still planning to make a family investment and take himself and his wife's parents on a family trip.
For Wen He, the failure of marriage is not much different from the failure at work.
All because of lack of ability.
After the divorce, Wen He became alone.
"Fortunately, I went to the doctor." Wen He said, "I'm in a much better state now than last year. Learning the guzheng and going on business trips may have helped me, but I didn't expect anything to happen to Sha Chun. She is very kind and understanding. It's really a pity."
"Kindness" is not the point, but "empathy" is.
Mingshu asked, "What do you mean by 'empathetic'?"
It can be seen that Wen He really feels sorry for Sha Chun, "We will chat every time in class, I will tell her about my experience, and she will tell her about hers. Dr. Luo said that I should adapt to talk to others and talk to Sha Chun. I felt more relaxed when I was there.”
Mingshu said, "Because you are similar people?"
Wen He didn't shy away, "Well, our experiences when we were studying are very similar, and we can feel the same when we talk about it. After work, I also work very hard, especially wanting to rush up, which puts a lot of pressure on myself. That's how my illness came about. But I have one thing better than her, my colleagues are very tolerant to me. This time I can go to Europe for business trip, and it is also the leader who takes care of me, and wants me to go there to study and relax. "
For a depressed patient who is still taking medication, Wen He's condition is already very good. Maybe in the near future, he will be off the drug. It can be seen how much the environment affects a person.
Mingshu stroked the line in his heart, and then learned about Wen He's superiors and colleagues' evaluation of Wen He—very diligent, above-average ability, and always leading the way.
But Wen He has a problem that limits his own development, that is, his vision is not broad enough.
Wen He's bottlenecks at work from last year to this year were all due to the limitations of his vision. If he was not in management, he would have been able to become the best among ordinary employees with his hard work, but after he was promoted to management, this weakness was gradually exposed. , reflected in the eyes of others is a lack of ability.
For Wen He, middle management is already the ceiling.
Criminal Investigation Bureau, Serious Cases Unit.
"Long Tianhao's words have a certain credibility." Mingshu held a medical certificate, "The injury to his left hand made him unable to execute the strangulation, and the murderer of Sha Chun could not be him. He said that he had been in the winter. Ye Medical University met a 'university teacher', because of the 'university teacher' persuasion, he went to 'Jianjiabailu' to find Sha Chun to learn the guzheng, I believe for now."
Xiao Yuan agreed, "In this matter, Long Tianhao really has no need to lie."
"There is no obvious conflict before and after Wen He's words. The only detail is that when he talked about why he went to 'Jianjia Bailu', he gave two explanations." Mingshu described the situation at that time, "I think He explained it well, ordinary people are suddenly involved in murder cases, and it is normal to be nervous and make slips of the tongue when facing the police."
Xiao Yu'an smiled and said, "So you've actually sorted it out - the words of Long Tianhao and Wen He can be used as important clues."
Mingshu smacking his lips, seeing no one else, "whoosh" slipped to Xiao Yu'an's side, bent over and leaned into Xiao Yu'an's ear, "Hey Xiao Bureau."
The two sat and stood one at a time, the one standing with one hand in his trousers pocket, the shirt and trousers outlined a wonderful figure.
"Huh?" Xiao Yu'an said, "What are you doing?"
Mingshu's mind suddenly got stuck, and he forgot what he wanted to say when he slipped over. After standing up straight and thinking for a long time, he couldn't remember.
Xiao Yuan patted him on the lower back, "Don't think about it, you must have wanted to talk nonsense just now."
Mingshu simply sat on the table, "I'm analyzing the case, how can I talk nonsense? You know I'm going to talk nonsense before I say it?"
"You can tell by the look on your face." Xiao Yu'an said: "And you haven't thought about it until now, so it's not an important thing. Our Ming team is an excellent and professional police officer. If what you just wanted to say is related to the case, There's absolutely no way I can't remember it if I'm interrupted."
"Hey, that's such a compliment..." Mingshu smiled, "Aren't you blushing?"
Xiao Yuan said slowly, "You are blushing."
Mingshu's eyes widened slightly, and he quickly realized that Xiao Yu'an was teasing himself, so he quickly shook his head and said steadily, "Stop it!"
Xiao Yuan smiled and said, "Well, you continue to talk about your ideas."
His family Ming Xiaoshu is good at this. Sometimes he will make trouble suddenly, but he knows the proportions very well, and he can put it in and out freely.
"The 10 students in Sha Chun's one-on-one course are the focus of our investigation. After excluding Wu Zhen, there are 9 people left, of which Zhou Lan has never been contacted. She was the first student to attend 'Jianjia Bailu', earlier than Wu Zhen. , you can ignore her for the time being." Mingshu folded his legs and shook a few times by the table, "I divided the other 8 people into a group—Liu Mei and the He family brothers and sisters who are not diligent, and also There are those two little girls who are incapable of committing crimes. These five people are independent and randomly selected to attend the class at 'Jianjia Bailu', and there is no external force to affect their behavior; Wen He and…”
"Wait a minute." Xiao Yuan interrupted, "Pick Liu Mei out."
"Huh?" Mingshu asked, "Do you have any other clues?"
"Liu Mei's words and deeds are suspicious. Your little apprentice can't let go. He reported to me and is chasing after him." Xiao Yuan said.
"Huh?" Mingshu thought about it, Liu Mei's problem is indeed not small, Fang Yuanhang has this idea, and he has strong action, which is definitely a good thing.
Xiao Yuan went down and said, "Wen He, Long Tianhao, and Yu Xiaocheng have the characteristics of diligence, so they are divided into a group?"
"At least Wen He and Long Tianhao must be grouped together." Mingshu said, "Long Tianhao went to 'Jianjia Bailu' under the influence of 'university teachers', and the purpose is very obvious. And Wen He was also pushed by a force. When it came to 'Jianjia Bailu', the doctor at Jiulin Psychological Clinic had the ability to influence him. However, the 'university teacher' whom Long Tianhao met was in his fifties and Luo Yi was only in his thirties. It is unlikely that the two were the same. Personally. After Wen He left Jiulin, the children were stuffed with leaflets. The people who distributed the leaflets on the street were either part-time young people or retired middle-aged and elderly people. How could there be seven or eight-year-old children? The child was instructed by someone to bring the 'Jianjia Bailu' leaflet to Wen He."
Mingshu went on to say: "As for Xiaocheng, there are two possibilities, one is that he may have also been guided by some kind of guidance, and he himself did not notice it - just like Wen He, the other is that he did choose 'Jianjia Bailu' by accident. The difference between Yu Xiaocheng and Wen He and Long Tianhao is that most of the evidence now points to Yu Xiaocheng. Yu Xiaocheng has the time to commit the crime, which is also in line with our criminal profile. He is very suspicious and can almost be identified as He is the murderer. His words may not be believed."
"In the current evidence, the only thing that is beneficial to Xiaocheng is the monitoring of Internet cafes." Xiao Yu'an said: "But this does not completely prove that Yu Xiaocheng did not have the time to commit the crime."
"Yes." Mingshu said sternly: "Brother, I think the investigation thinking needs to be adjusted. We used to think that the Wu Zhen case and the Sha Chun case were the voluntary actions of the 'desperate', but now it seems that It is very likely that this series of cases was secretly promoted by the 'university teacher'. This person rushed people like Wu Zhen and Sha Chun to 'Jianjia Bailu' for Sha Chun to choose!"
Xiao Yuan stood up and said, "I thought about this possibility during the last meeting, but I didn't bring it up because I couldn't think of this person's intentions, and there was no evidence to support it at the time. Now Long Tianhao has directly proved this person's intentions. exist."
"I thought it was murder, but later found out that it was actually suicide, and now it's back to the fulcrum of murder." Mingshu looked solemn, "Long Tianhao went to the Affiliated Hospital of Dongye Medical University to see a doctor, while Wen He went to Guang The Jiulin Psychological Clinic in Ye Hospital can't get around Dong Ye Medical University. This 'mysterious man' has now surfaced, but I can't understand why he did this."
"If Long Tianhao, Wen He, and Yu Xiaocheng were all led by the 'mysterious man' to 'Jianjiabailu', then the randomness of his selection was too strong, as if he sowed countless 'seeds' at will, There will always be one that can sprout." Xiao Yuan looked at the portrait of the "university teacher", "He is completely free from these 'desperate people', accumulating targets and letting them choose... In this way, Sha Chun is the one he prepared for Wu Zhen. One of the many 'seeds'."
"What about Wu Zhen's other 'seeds'?" Mingshu said, "The people who Wu Zhen came into contact with after his handwriting changed may all be the 'seeds' selected by the 'mysterious man'? And the one who was finally persuaded by Wu Zhen was Sha Chun? There is one more clue for the investigation... Then how about moving forward?"
Xiao Yu'an shook his head, "Going forward may be this 'mysterious man' himself."
Mingshu's pupils tightened, "Wu Zhen has never killed anyone? He was directly instigated by a 'mysterious man' and became the first 'domino' to fall? It doesn't make sense."
"Wu Zhen's case is earlier, and there is no breakthrough yet." Xiao Yu'an said: "Let's go back to Sha Chun's line. Sha Chun tried to influence Yu Xiaocheng, Long Tianhao, and Wen He, and let one of them become the next. A 'domino'. Although Wen He suffers from depression, he has long been up and down in the workplace, and his mental state is relatively good. The most important thing is that Wen He's class time is short, and he soon went to Europe, so Sha Chun still Didn't cut to the chase with him."
"Long Tianhao..." Mingshu put his hands on his chest, frowning deeper as he became emotionally invested, "Sha Chun may have distrusted him, or some other reason, and finally gave up on him and chose instead to choose Yu Xiaocheng. Then, in this way, Yu Xiaocheng is the sure-fire murderer. Sha Chun can only influence these three people. Long and Wen can be ruled out, so who else can be except Yu Xiaocheng?"
The room fell silent for a while.
A few seconds later, Mingshu asked, "Xiao Bureau?"
Xiao Yu'an's eyes were very deep, "I was thinking, if we use the five people Long Tianhao, Wen He, Yu Xiaocheng, Sha Chun, and Wu Zhen as a reference, then the scope of this 'mysterious man' is too wide and too random. , all 'seeds' only have one sprouted. He does all this, and I can only think of one similar example."
Mingshu suddenly reacted, "He's doing an experiment?"
"Om-"
The phone vibrated on the table, Mingshu picked it up, Fang Yuanhang shouted over there, "Master! Liu Mei may be related to a case of missing women!"
