Madness of the Heart

Wen He, 37 years old, a middle-level manager of the state-owned company Xinmin Manufacturing, studied Guzheng with Sha Chun from early July to mid-July this year. He bought a three-month course and should have learned it until October, but he was suddenly sent to Europe on a business trip halfway through and had to suspend the course.

When Sha Chun died, Wen He was not in the country. He had just returned to Dongye City one day ago, and will leave for Europe again in a week.

Wen He is not a suspect, Ming Shu 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 will not be able to stay long after this trip, so there is nothing on the table or shelf.

Ming Shu noticed the medicine next to the computer screen at a glance.

Wen He looked ordinary and was very polite. He poured tea to greet Ming Shu to sit down. When he moved the chair, he saw the medicine, so he quickly put it away and put it in the drawer.

Mingshu recognizes that kind of packaging, if I remember correctly, it should be a medicine for depression.

"Do you have depression?" Ming Shu asked directly.

"Ah..." Wen He was closing the drawer, his actions paused, without concealment, "Yeah. But I have insisted on treatment. After going abroad, my condition is much better and it doesn't affect my work. Sorry, I just came back and things are a bit messy. Let you see."

Ming Shu pondered the phrase "does not affect work", and initially judged Wen He's character in the workplace-practical, willing to work, a little inferior to himself, caring about others' evaluations, and put work first at all times.

You have to be cautious about treating depression patients, but fortunately, Wen He is not too serious. Ming Shu brewed some words and asked: "It's convenient to say, how did you suffer from depression?"

Wen He looked a little embarrassed and took a sip of tea, "Can my answer help you investigate the case?"

Ming Shu said sincerely: "Yes."

Wen He took a breath, "Okay, okay, let me prepare."

A very serious and down-to-earth workplace man——Ming Shu said in his heart.

"I divorced last year and my child 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."

Ming Shu said, "So you took the initiative to go to the doctor?"

Wen He nodded, "I'm not interested in anything. I'm not motivated. I didn't do a good job at the beginning. After psychological problems, I got more and more bad at it. I can't just wait and die."

Ming Shu asked, "Which hospital? Which doctor?"

Wen He hesitated, but finally took out a business card and handed it to Ming Shu, "This one."

Ming Shu frowned slightly when he saw the information written on the business card.

Luo Yi, Jiulin Psychological Clinic.

Jiulin Psychological Clinic belongs to Guangye Hospital, which is only one street away from Dongye Medical University.

Ming Shu asked, "What is the age of this Doctor Luo?"

Wen He said, "I'm about the same age as me. It's amazing. I'm already the director in less than forty."

He was only in his thirties, and the "university teacher" that Long Tianhao saw was in his fifties.

Ming Shu did not continue to think about it, "How long have you been treating in Jiulin?"

"Well... I went in December last year. At first I went every week, and then once a month." Wen He said, "I have to go back this time. I have an appointment with Dr. Luo the day after tomorrow."

Ming Shu said, "Do you mind showing me your medicine?"

Wen He immediately took out the medicine, "The medicine has been changed a few times. I haven't taken this medicine for long. Dr. Luo changed it to me after the degree of relief was relieved."

Ming Shu looked at it for a while and put the medicine on the table, "In addition to taking the medicine, does Dr. Luo suggest you do anything?"

This question was very specific, but Wen He obviously didn't hear it. He thought for half a minute and said, "By the way, I went to'Jianjia Bailu' to study Guzheng, which is what Dr. Luo meant."

Ming Shu's eyes were sharp, "Dr. Luo asked you to go to Sha Chun?"

Wen He was staring uncomfortably, and laughed awkwardly, and changed his words: "No no, Dr. Luo doesn't know Sha Chun. I applied to Sha Chun's class myself, and it has nothing to do with Dr. Luo."

Contradictory, Ming Shu thought about it, and then asked: "But you did say that you went to'Jianjia Bailu' to learn Guzheng because it was Dr. Luo's meaning."

"I'm not accurate, I'm sorry." Wen He explained: "Dr. Luo suggested that I cultivate a hobby outside of work, such as music, art, and playing ball, saying that it can help with treatment."

Ming Shu said, "So you chose Guzheng?"

"Actually, it was not my active choice." Wen He said: "I have no hobbies since I was a child, only learning and taking exams. When I was in school, male students liked to play football and basketball, and female students liked to listen to music. I'm not interested, I think it's a waste of time."

Ming Shu thought, another Yu Xiaocheng?

"When I first went to Jiulin, Dr. Luo reminded me to relax the rhythm of work properly and cultivate hobbies. At that time, I couldn’t listen. After taking a lot of medicine, I didn’t feel so depressed. Dr. Luo also suggested something. Back, I just started thinking about cultivating a hobby." Wen He said: "At the end of June, once I just came out of Jiulin, I met a child who issued a leaflet."

Mingshu asked: "The leaflet of'Jiajia Bailu'?"

Wen He said: "Yes. Although I have no interest in music, I usually listen to folk music on TV and I feel comfortable listening. I thought it might be a chance. After going to'Jiajia Bailu', I felt that everything was okay. Yes, I signed up."

Ming Shu asked: "It's a child who sent you the leaflet?"

"Well, kid." Wen He has never dealt with criminal police before, and he doesn't understand why Mingshu's problem is always so strange.

"How small is the kid?"

"It's just... so high." Wen He said, "Seven or eight years old. It seems that he won't be more than ten years old anyway."

Mingshu was silent for a while, and led the topic to Wen He's family.

Wen He was born in a rural area, passed the college entrance examination to Dongye City, and has since settled down.

In fact, Wen He's family has some similarities with Ran He. There are several older sisters who are from poor families.

The difference is that Ran He has relied on his wife and father-in-law over the years, while Wen He has been relying on himself, step by step, and finally rushed from a grassroots employee to a middle management position in a state-owned enterprise.

Wen He didn't have any love experience when he was studying, and he was devoted to learning. His ex-wife met on a blind date after a stable job. It can't be said that there is much love, but each other needs to get married, so they came together five years ago.

The family situation of the ex-wife is not good. The parents are dual-employees in the city, and they look down upon Wen He's background. After marriage, the couple has little friction. Most of the time, Wen He gives way to his ex-wife.

Last year, the ex-wife filed for divorce on the grounds that she did not feel passion in the marriage. The parents of the ex-wife strongly requested that the child who had just turned 3 be taken away.

Wen He manages marriage as a job, knowing that his wife has a lot of dissatisfaction with him, and before his wife decides to divorce, he is still planning to make a family investment and bring 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.

It's all because of lack of ability.

After the divorce, Wen He became lonely.

"Fortunately, I went to see a doctor." Wen He said, "I am in a much better condition than last year. Learning Guzheng and traveling on business may be helpful to me, but I didn't expect Sha Chun to have an accident. She is very kind and understanding. It's a pity that it's welcome."

"Kindness" is not the point, but "understanding" is.

Ming Shu asked: "What do you mean by'compassionate'?"

It can be seen that Wen He really feels sorry for Sha Chun. "Every time we go to class, we will chat. I tell her about my experience, and she also tells her about her experience. Dr. Luo said that I should adapt to talking to people and talk to Sha Chun. I felt that I was more relaxed when I was in."

Ming Shu said: "Because you are similar people?"

Wen He did not shy away, "Well, our experience in school is very similar, and we can feel the same as soon as we say it. After work, we are very desperate, especially want to rush up, and put a lot of pressure on myself. In fact, this is how my illness came about. . But I’m better than her. My colleagues are very tolerant to me. This time I was able to go to Europe on a business trip, and the leader took care of me, and wanted me to go there to study and relax."

For a patient with depression who is still taking medication, Wen He's condition is already very good. Maybe soon, he will get rid of the drug. It can be seen how much the environment affects a person.

Ming Shu struck the line in his heart, and then learned what Wen He’s superiors and colleagues said about Wen He—very diligent, moderately capable, and always take the lead.

But Wen He has a problem that limits his own development, that is, his vision is not broad enough.

The bottlenecks that Wen He encountered in his work last year to this year were all due to the limitations of his vision. If he was not in the management, he would be able to become a leader among ordinary employees with his hard work, but after he was promoted to the management, this weakness was slowly exposed. , Reflected in the eyes of others is a little lack of ability.

For Wen He, middle management is already the ceiling.

Criminal Investigation Bureau, Crime Squad.

"Long Tianhao's words have a certain degree of credibility." Ming Shu held a medical certificate. "The injury to his left hand prevented him from being strangled. It is impossible for him to kill Sha Chun. He said that he had been in the winter. I met a'university teacher' at Ye Medical University, and because of the persuasion of this'university teacher', he went to'Jiajia Bailu' to find Sha Chun to study guzheng. I believe it for the time being."

Xiao Yuan agreed, "In this matter, Long Tianhao really has no need to lie."

"There was no obvious conflict between Wen He's words before and after. The only detail is that when he talked about why he went to'Jianjia Bailu', he gave two explanations." Ming Shu described the situation at the time, "I think He explained it well. It's normal for ordinary people to be involved in the murder case. It's normal for them to be nervous and make verbal errors when facing the police."

Xiao Yuan smiled and said: "So you have actually sorted it out-Long Tianhao and Wen He's words can be used as important clues."

Ming Shu smacked his mouth, saw no one else, "swish" and slipped to Xiao Yuan's side, bent over and leaned over Xiao Yuan's ear, "Hey Xiao Ju."

The two of them sat and stood with one hand in the pocket of the standing one, and the shirt and trousers outlined a wonderful figure.

"Huh?" Xiao Yuan said, "What's the matter with you?"

Ming Shu suddenly got stuck in his mind, and forgot what he wanted to say when he slipped over. After standing up straight, he thought for a long time, but he didn't even think of it.

Xiao Yuan patted him on his back, "Don't think about it, you must be talking nonsense just now."

Ming Shu simply sat on the table, "I'm analyzing the case, how can I say nonsense? Before I say anything, you know I want to talk nonsense?"

"Look at your expression." Xiao Yuan said: "And you haven't remembered it until now. It can be seen that it is not an important matter. Our Ming team is an excellent and professional policeman. If what I just wanted to say is related to the case, I won’t even think of it if I interrupt."

"Hey, this is a boast..." Ming Shu smiled, "Aren't you always red?"

Xiao Yuan said slowly: "You blush."

Ming Shu's eyes widened slightly, and he quickly realized that Xiao Yuan was teasing himself, and quickly shook his head, and said steadily, "Stop it!"

Xiao Yuan smiled and said, "Well, you continue to talk about your ideas."

Ming Xiaoshu of his family is good at this. Sometimes he makes a sudden noise, but he knows how to measure and retracts freely, saying that the heart will sink immediately.

"The 10 students in Sha Chun's one-to-one course are the focus of our investigation. We ruled out Wu Zhen, and 9 of them were left. Among them, Zhou Lan could not be contacted. She was the first student to attend the'Jia Jia Bailu' class, earlier than Wu Zhen. , You can ignore her for the time being.” Ming Shu shook his legs at the table a few times, “The other 8 people, I divided them into groups-Liu Mei and He’s brothers and sisters who don’t have the qualities of diligence. There are also those two little girls who are not capable of committing crimes. These five are autonomous and randomly selected to take classes with "Jianjia Bailu". There is no external force to affect their behavior; Wen He and..."

"Wait a minute." Xiao Yuan interrupted, "Pick Liu Mei out."

"Huh?" Ming Shu asked, "Do you have any other clues?"

"There is something suspicious about Liu Mei's words and deeds. Your little apprentice can't let it go. He has reported to me and is chasing after him." Xiao Yuan said.

"Huh?" Ming Shu thought for a while. Liu Mei's problem is indeed not small. Fang Yuanhang has this idea and is strong in action, which is definitely a good thing.

Xiao Yuan went down and said, "Wen He, Long Tianhao, and Yu Xiaocheng have the qualities of diligence, so they are divided into one group?"

"At least Wen He and Long Tianhao must be grouped together." Ming Shu said: "Long Tianhao was influenced by the'university teacher' before going to'Jianjia Bailu', the purpose is very obvious. And Wen He is also pushed by one. By the time'Jianjia Bailu', the doctor at Jiulin Psychological Clinic has the ability to influence him. However, the'university teacher' Long Tianhao met was in his fifties and Luo was only in his thirties. It is unlikely that the two of them are the same. Personal. After Wen He left Jiulin, a child stuffed a leaflet. Either part-time young people or retired middle-aged and elderly people distributed the leaflets on the streets. How could there be children aged seven or eight? Here you can determine, The child was instructed by someone to show the leaflet of'Jia Jia Bailu' to Wen He."

Ming Shu went on to say: "As for filial piety, there are two possibilities. One is that he may have been guided by some kind of guidance, and he himself did not notice it-just like Wen He, and the other is that he did happen to choose'Jianjia Bailu' '. 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 time to commit the crime, which is also in line with our criminal profile. His suspicion is very large, almost OK. I think 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 Yuan said: "However, this does not fully prove that Yu Xiaocheng has no time to commit the crime."

"Yes." Ming Shu said sternly: "Brother, I think the investigative thinking has to be adjusted. We used to think that the Wu Zhen case and the Sha Chun case were the autonomous actions of the desperate people, but now it seems, This series of cases is likely to be promoted by the'university teacher' in secret. This person drove people like Wu Zhen and Sha Chun to'Jianjia Bailu' for Sha Chun to choose!"

Xiao Yuan stood up, "I thought about this possibility during the last meeting. I didn't mention it because I couldn't think of this person's intentions, and there was no evidence to support it. Now Long Tianhao directly proved this person's exist."

"I thought it was a murder, but later discovered that the essence was suicide. Now I am back on the fulcrum of murder." Ming Shu looked solemn, "Long Tianhao went to the Affiliated Hospital of Dongye Medical University to see a doctor, and Wen He went to Guangxi. The Jiulin Psychological Clinic in Ye Hospital cannot bypass Dongye Medical University anyway. This "mysterious man" has now surfaced, but I can't figure out why he did this."

"If Long Tianhao, Wen He, and Yu Xiaocheng were all led by'mysterious people' to'Jianjia Bailu'. Then the randomness of his selection is too strong, it is like sowing countless'seeds' at random, There is always one that can sprout." Xiao Yuan looked at the portrait of the "university teacher", "He is completely free from these'despairers', accumulating targets, and choosing them by themselves... In this way, Sha Chun is the one who gave Wu Zhen. One of the many'seeds' prepared."

"What about Wu Zhen's other'seeds'?" Ming Shu said: "The people who have been in contact with Wu Zhen's handwriting after the change are likely to be the'seeds' screened by the'mysterious man'? And it was Sha that was finally persuaded by Wu Zhen. Chun? There's one more clue...what about going forward?"

Xiao Yuan shook his head, "It may be this ‘mysterious man’ ahead of him."

Ming Shu's pupils tightened, "Wu Zhen hasn't killed anyone? Directly instigated by the'mysterious man', he became the first'domino' to fall? It doesn't make sense."

"Wu Zhen's case was earlier, and there is no breakthrough yet." Xiao Yuan said: "Let's go back to the Sha Chun line. Sha Chun tried to influence Yu Xiaocheng, Long Tianhao, and Wen He to make one of them become the next A piece of'domino.' Although Wen He suffers from depression, he has already been up and down in the workplace, and his mental state is relatively good. The most important thing is that Wen He has a short class time and soon went to Europe, so Sha Chun still Did not get to the point of him."

"Long Tianhao..." Ming Shu put his hands on his chest, frowning deeper with his emotional devotion, "Sha Chun may not trust him, or for some other reason, he finally gave up on him and turned to Choose Yu Xiaocheng. Then, in this way, Yu Xiaocheng is a nailed murderer. Only these three people can be affected by Sha Chun. Long and Wen can be ruled out, so who else besides Yu Xiaocheng?"

The room was quiet for a while.

A few seconds later, Ming Shu asked: "Xiao Ju?"

Xiao Yuan's eyes were extremely deep, "I'm thinking, if you take Long Tianhao, Wen He, Yu Xiaocheng, Sha Chun, and Wu Zhen as a reference, then this "mysterious man" casts a net too wide and too casually. , All the'seeds' only need to germinate. He did all this, I can only think of a similar example."

Ming Shu suddenly reacted, "He is doing an experiment?"

"Om—"

The phone rang on the table, Ming Shu picked it up, and Fang Yuanhang shouted over there: "Master! Liu Mei may be related to a missing female case!"
