There was going to be a meeting later, so Shang Yang made an appointment for lunch with the head of the criminal investigation detachment, and the other party was also happy to introduce the specific development of the local criminal investigation work to them.

When it was time for lunch, the detachment leader not only called Shang Yang and Jin Xu to eat, but also brought several other colleagues from the criminal investigation department together, and the group directly settled for lunch in the canteen of the Municipal Bureau.

Entering the cafeteria, not only Jin Xu continued to hate the rich, but even Shang Yang couldn't help being jealous of his economic level, and there was even a seafood section at the self-service counter.But because they wanted to talk about something serious, the two of them couldn't experience the luxurious self-service for the time being. Those from the criminal investigation department took them to a private room and ordered food alone, which was also convenient for talking about things.

The detachment leader introduced to Shang Yang the few people he brought, two of them came to eat and chat with him, and among the remaining three, a female police superintendent surnamed Tian was the investigation captain in charge of Qiu Li's suicide case, The other two male police officers were involved in the investigation of Qiu Li's sister's suicide.

No one expected that this matter would become a hot search, and was bumped into by a researcher from a ministry who happened to be visiting the grassroots.

"Director Shang wants to know more about the case of the two sisters. You can introduce the specifics of the case." The detachment leader also hopes to let the higher-ups understand clearly, so as not to be influenced by Internet public opinion, and misunderstand that their local police work is not in place. .

Captain Tian said: "Then let me talk about it first. Qiu Li's case is being investigated by our team. At present, the possibility of homicide and accidental falling from the building can be ruled out 100%. It can be confirmed that the deceased Qiu Li committed suicide by jumping off the building."

The female investigation team leader watched Shang Yang speak, waiting for Shang Yang to ask her questions.She is in her 40s, with sharp eyes, a calm and confident tone, and an oppressive aura.It made Shang Yang involuntarily think of his mother when she was not retired, and she was a little dazed for a while.

"We saw the police report," Jin Xu answered naturally, and said, "Director Shang also said that you are really efficient. The report about the fall from a building that happened at noon yesterday was sent out in the middle of the night."

Shang Yang came back to his senses and said, "Captain Tian and the police officers handling the case have worked hard."

Immediately afterwards, the question was raised: "We don't doubt your conclusion. That's right. The person who helped us arrange the work was Section Chief Huang Jianping of your Municipal Bureau Office. You should know this better than us. Section Chief Huang and Qiu Li knew each other well. According to him, it is impossible for Qiu Li to harass young male colleagues, and he thinks Qiu Li is definitely not that kind of person."

When Shang Yang mentioned "Huang Jianping", Jin Xu noticed a subtle change in Captain Tian's expression, and several criminal policemen next to him also subconsciously looked at Captain Tian.

"If Qiu Li hadn't done it, she would have been wronged," Shang Yang said. "Her motive for suicide is to show her ambition by death?"

Given Qiu Li's age, knowledge, and life experience, it seems that this should not be the normal reaction after being wronged.

Captain Tian replied: "The deceased has been seeing a psychiatrist for a long time. The motive for suicide is more complicated. It's not just the fact that she was wronged. But the deceased did not harass her male colleague."

Some of the contents of the Internet posts are true, and some of them are exaggerated.

One night last week, it was true that a male subordinate who had just joined the company posted several screenshots of WeChat chats in the company's large group, and shouted "a certain big sister" without naming her name. Don't send yourself strange messages late at night. information.

Colleagues saw that the WeChat avatar and nickname were clearly Qiu Li, either waiting to eat melons or defending Mingzhe, but no one spoke.

A few minutes later, Qiu Li came out to confront her male subordinate, saying that she had never sent these messages. The male subordinate is a fresh graduate, and some newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. She satirized Qiu Li for daring to act or not, but Qiu Li made it clear Those who clear themselves.

After that, Qiu Li immediately went to HR and asked to investigate this matter clearly.

"It turned out to be found out soon," Captain Tian said, "The WeChat account that sent harassment messages to male subordinates was a fake account of Qiu Li's WeChat account. The profile picture, nickname, and even the circle of friends were all directly from Qiu Li. Copy it and use it, in fact, Qiu Li herself has never added this male subordinate’s WeChat, the real intersection between the two is limited to the large group in the company, and the large group uses another group chat software developed by their company.”

Shang Yang and Jin Xu frowned at the same time.

Another policeman next to him didn't investigate the case, and it was the first time he heard about the specific situation here. He said, "Why are there such boring people? They are so full. Why are you making such a joke? It's all happening now." People die."

Jin Xu said, "I don't think it's a joke, it's probably intentional to harm someone."

Shang Yang nodded and said, "Have you found out who it is?"

Captain Tian said: "It's another senior expert at the same level as Qiu Li in this company. His team and Qiu Li's team were working together on the same project, but because their progress was slow, Qiu Li was in a hurry and pulled away. The technical team came, kicked them out, and in the end the project was a big success.”

Everyone at the scene understood in an instant that the villain was jealous, so he did this on purpose.

Among them, the expressions of the two criminal police officers who investigated Qiu Li's sister's case changed even more obviously. One said directly: "This is too similar to her sister's situation back then."

Another said: "Old Huang said that the suicide of Qiu Li's sister had a great impact on Qiu Li. Now she has a similar experience with her sister, and now she can't get out of the corner. She even chose the method of suicide. The same jumping off a building."

The "Old Huang" he mentioned must have been referring to Huang Jianping, who was handling the case together at that time.Jin Xu noticed again that Captain Tian frowned when he heard Huang Jianping.

Shang Yang heard the key information of another case, and asked, "Sister Qiu Li also had a similar experience? How should I say it?"

The two detectives who investigated the case sighed and shook their heads, and one of them said, "It's a pity to say this... It's a pity for the two sisters."

Qiu Li's elder sister is named Qiu Ling. They are twins, they look exactly the same, and they are both beautiful. Both sisters are academic masters, but the two sisters have different personalities and hobbies. Qiu Ling is introverted and quiet. After growing up, Qiu Li went overseas to study for a Ph.D. in computer science, while Qiu Ling received a Ph.D. in literature at a prestigious domestic school.

Seven years ago, Qiu Li was recharging her energy in Silicon Valley, laying the foundation for her return to China. Qiu Ling taught in the Chinese Department of a national key university in this city. She herself completed her undergraduate and Master studies.

Before the incident, 32-year-old Qiu Ling was about to leave the postdoctoral mobile station. In addition, she has performed excellently in teaching for several years, and she is very hopeful that she will be rated as an associate professor after she leaves the station.

Such a young and outstanding person... The connection has just been revealed that the experiences of the two sisters are similar. Both Shang Yang and Jin Xu can guess what kind of development it is. Shang Yang can't bear to listen, and Jin Xu looks depressed , knowing that I am about to hear something that will make people angry but helpless.

"Someone exposed an incident on the school forum," said the criminal police officer who was involved in the case at the time, "it said that when Qiu Ling was studying for a master's degree in this school a few years ago, she had a relationship with her tutor at the time, and the teacher-student relationship itself It's out of the ordinary, the tutor is still married and has a family."

Another criminal policeman added: "When we found out about the situation later, we found this male mentor. He said that he and Qiu Ling had only been ambiguous for a while, and there was no deviant behavior. They were both young at the time and were dazed by love My mind quickly cleared up, and after Qiu Ling graduated with a master's degree, the two had no contact with each other, and Qiu Ling returned to work at his alma mater after finishing his Ph.

The criminal policeman in front said: "But this kind of thing, I can't prove my innocence. It was rumored in the school at that time, and the two parties involved couldn't work normally. The wife of the male teacher heard about it and ran away." Went to the school to make trouble, slapped Qiu Ling twice in front of the students, Qiu Ling called the police, although it is wrong to be a mistress, let alone beating someone..."

"That's not the case, who is the junior?" Captain Tian was listening quietly, but suddenly interrupted and said, "Qiu Ling and that tutor may not have had any relationship at all, and it is also the male teacher's own words to say that they were ambiguous. Qiu Ling herself has always said firmly that she has never had any thoughts about that teacher beyond the teacher-student relationship."

Shang Yang looked at the female captain with awe in his heart, she was protecting the reputation of the deceased Qiu Ling.

Jin Xu said: "Understood, the male teacher said that there was an affair, and the female student said that there was no such thing at all. Whether there is any sign of a teacher-student relationship, only God knows."

He was a rational conclusion based on objective facts, and the two criminal policemen agreed.

Captain Tian insisted: "There is no evidence to prove that the teacher-student relationship happened, so there is no doubt about it."

Although no one objected, only Shang Yang seriously agreed: "Yes."

Everyone except Jin Xu: "..."

Jin Xu felt that there was no need to be entangled in this issue, unless the male teacher was suspected of committing the crime in the subsequent development of the case, but Qiu Ling committed suicide, so there should be no suspects in this case.

"It's far away, let's talk about the case itself." He didn't look like an assistant at all, and he started to control the field, and said, "Qiu Ling came to report the case after being beaten, and then what?"

The policeman said: "Qiu Ling was injured, but the result of the injury test did not constitute any harm. After mediation by the police station, the wife of the male teacher apologized to Qiu Ling."

But this couldn't quell the rumors on campus. Qiu Ling's work was greatly affected, and the associate professor's rating was also visibly ruined. She already had a boyfriend who was talking about marriage at the time, because of this incident , the man's parents were very dissatisfied with Qiu Ling, and soon after, his boyfriend also broke up with her.

Under multiple blows, Qiu Ling collapsed emotionally, and finally chose to end his life.

Captain Tian said: "Qiu Ling is emotionally unstable. My younger sister Qiu Li rushed back from abroad to accompany her sister. That night she purposely slept with Qiu Ling. She was woken up by the wind in the middle of the night and found that the window was open and there was no one around her. "

Shang Yang and Jin Xu: "..."

No wonder Huang Jianping said that the death of her sister left a psychological shadow on Qiu Li.Anyone who changes this matter has to have a shadow.

"After Qiu Ling's death, Qiu Li suffered from stress disorder. Psychiatrists in both China and the United States have seen it." Captain Tian said, "After returning to China to work, domestic Internet companies have suffered a lot. She is under a lot of pressure. We I asked her doctor, and the doctor said that it was not the first time she had the idea of ​​committing suicide, this time she was framed by her colleagues, which was very similar to her sister's incident, which may have triggered her psychological problems, and finally caused the tragedy to repeat itself."

A police officer who came to chat and eat with him said, "I've heard people say that there may be telepathy between twins."

Jin Xu said relentlessly: "The police should stop talking about metaphysics."

The police officer froze for a moment, then smiled awkwardly.

Shang Yang smoothed things over and said: "He meant that the twins are also independent individuals. It is not so much a telepathy as an imitation of suicide. Qiu Li felt very painful after losing her sister, and Qiu Ling's death provided her with a psychological hint. , suicide can eliminate pain... the Werther effect."

Suicidal behavior and psychology may be contagious. For example, workers in a well-known electronics factory committed suicide one after another, which is a kind of imitation suicide. This phenomenon is called the Werther effect, which originated from "The Sorrows of Young Werther" that caused many imitations Witte's suicide.

Jin Xu patted the leader's ass flatteringly: "The director is educated."

Shang Yang: "..."

He casually picked up a crab for Jin Xu, in order to let this guy keep his mouth shut.Jin Xu lowered his head to pick up the crab shell, eating the crab with relish.

Shang Yang asked the detectives, "Who exactly was it seven years ago that posted on the campus forum to expose Qiu Ling's teacher-student relationship?"

"It was a lecturer who was also competing for an associate professor at the time," the criminal police said. "There are only a few places for associate professors. Originally, this person was very hopeful to be selected that time, but Qiu Lingbo will take up one place when he expires later. It's none of his business, he thought of this idea, squeezed out Qiu Ling, and finally won the evaluation."

Shang Yang: "..."

Qiu Ling's experience before committing suicide seven years ago is really similar to what her sister Qiu Li experienced.

Shang Yang said in dissatisfaction: "You know this kind of villain, but you still let him be an associate professor? This school is also good enough."

The detachment leader who had been eating silently said at this time: "But this associate professor has not been a long time, and this person is gone."

Shang Yang asked suspiciously: "No more? What do you mean?"

He thought to himself, wouldn't it be the kind of "disappeared"?Although evil will be rewarded with evil, it would be refreshing, but the materialistic worldview made him unable to believe in the existence of retribution. If there was really retribution in the world, the police would have been laid off long ago.

"It's just gone," said the detachment leader. "A year or so after Qiu Ling's incident, the associate professor had a heart attack at home and died."

Shang Yang: "..."

Jin Xu immediately became suspicious, and asked, "Is there any doubt about this person's death?"

The detachment leader is also a veteran criminal policeman, so he knew what he was thinking, and said: "We were suspicious at the time, but the autopsy result was a heart attack, no trauma, no poisoning. On the day of the accident, he got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, and it took a long time to go. Seeing that he never came back, his wife got up and went to the bathroom to see that he had collapsed in the bathroom, not breathing."

"There is no sign of homicide, maybe it's retribution. Qiu Ling took him away." A criminal policeman said casually.

"If Qiu Ling is really so powerful," Jin Xu said, "the person who should take revenge on her sister, why did she take her sister away?"

Shang Yang couldn't help it: "Cough." Remind Jin Xu not to be too arrogant in other people's territory, and also to respect the deceased a little bit.

Jin Xu obviously still has some doubts, but the case was concluded six or seven years ago, so he can't continue to question it.

After lunch, the criminal police have to go to work separately. Shang Yang wants to take his assistants to the unit below to see the local public security infrastructure. The two suicide cases have a clear conclusion. The episode is over, and their research work is the real business , have to continue seriously.

The detachment leader was very enthusiastic and wanted to send them a ride. Shang Yang didn't want to cause trouble for others, so he said, "If necessary, I will call Section Chief Huang, and he will call him anytime if there is anything to do."

"That's okay." The detachment captain said.Jin-wook notices him glancing at Captain Tian.

When everyone left the cafeteria, the detachment leader and others left first one after another, and Captain Tian stayed at the end. She had something to talk to Shang Yang alone.

"I want to ask Director Shang," she said after everyone else had left, "is there anyone I know, or is there any way to help clarify the rumor about Qiu Li being spread on Hot Search."

Qiu Li is still misunderstood by many netizens as a greasy and wretched female leader who sexually harassed young male subordinates, and it is impossible to explain this for her in the police report.Defamation is a private prosecution case, and she has no chance to clarify for herself.

But when it comes to things that are popular and spread, let alone Shang Yang, an ordinary researcher, even if he really holds Shang Fang's sword, it is difficult to deal with. There are many innocence in the world that can never be proved.

He was still thinking about how to answer Captain Tian, ​​Jin Xu said: "Where is Qiu Li's husband? Why does he seem to be invisible after such a big incident?"

Captain Tian said: "Apart from the hostess in their family, Qiu Li's husband doesn't have a job and is the house cook. Qiu Li has an accident, and he has to hide it from the elderly and children. The child is too young and still goes to kindergarten, and Qiu Li's mother is in poor health." not too good."

Shang Yang didn't know what Jin Xu was still suspicious of, and he had already confirmed that he committed suicide, but he didn't interrupt, listening to Jin Xu continue to talk with Captain Tian.

Jin Xu said: "You both seem to know Qiu Li quite well."

Shang Yang: "?" Who?

Captain Tian was embarrassed for a moment, and said: "Qiu Ling's case was handled by Lao Huang. Qiu Li had approached him many times, and felt that the police were incompetent because of her sister's death. She thought that when Qiu Ling called the police for the first time, the police should protect her. Good Qiu Ling, we can all understand this. My sister is gone, and the person who spread rumors about her sister has also died of illness. She must have someone to hate, so she found Lao Huang. She is a woman, and Lao Huang has nothing to do with it. If I can communicate with her, I will get to know her after coming and going. But we don’t have any private contacts, and we meet in the criminal investigation team. Before I took over her suicide case, I reported to the bureau that we knew each other, which is in line with the regulations. Yes, let me investigate this case."

Only then did Shang Yang understand that Huang Jianping and Captain Tian are husband and wife.

"I don't understand," Jin Xu asked a question that Shang Yang also cared about, "In the case of Qiu Ling back then, the fact of suicide was quite clear, and Section Chief Huang was not a newcomer at that time, why did he put so much pressure on him? "

Captain Tian was also very resentful when he talked about this matter, and said: "To be honest, I don't really understand. He went crazy because of such a case. It's been several years. I can't eat or sleep when I mention it. Don’t be a criminal police officer if you say you have such an attitude, I drove him to the office to do odd jobs... Sometimes I think, maybe it’s because of Qiu Li that he’s like this.”

After a pause, she realized that she had said something wrong, and said, "Qiu Li's case still has some tails to deal with. I'll be leaving first. You guys are busy."

She hurried away.

Shang Yang: "..."

Jin Xu said: "Have you heard anything?"

"Captain Tian means..." Shang Yang took a bite of the melon he didn't know whether he should eat or not, and said blankly, "Section Chief Huang likes Qiu Li?"

Jin Xu thought for a while and said, "I always feel that something is wrong."

Shang Yang said: "Of course it's not right, Section Chief Huang doesn't mean anything to Qiu Li at all, I can see that."

"I'm not talking about that," but Jin Xu thought about it again. The facts of the two suicide cases were very clear, so he could only say, "Maybe I'm thinking too much."

In the next few days, the two concentrated on conducting research, and everything went smoothly.

The popularity of Qiu Li's suicide case was gradually covered by new and more explosive social news.

It was a Friday when the research was over. Shang Yang and Jin Xu discussed it. It happened to be the weekend, and they had to rest for two days before going back to work on Monday. Why not use these two days to go shopping and play in the local area anyway? Come here.

On Friday night, the two of them had dinner, and it was rare that they didn’t have to worry about work anymore. They chatted in low voices along the embankment of the lake, while walking. There were almost no other people around the lake, and they went back the same way, after eleven o’clock and deeper Lu Zhong, before returning to the room.

"It's so cold." After entering the door, Shang Yang rubbed his cold face and said, "Yesterday it was still in the [-]s, and today it's suddenly late autumn."

Jin Xu talked happily all night, "It's just right when it's cold, take a hot bath, and sleep with my husband's arms."

"..." Shang Yang glanced at him, but didn't answer.

Jin Xu said: "You are really stingy, what can you do if you just call out, it's not like you haven't called out before."

Shang Yang simply pretended to be deaf and unable to hear, turned on the kettle to boil hot water, drank hot water from a cup, walked to the full-length mirror and looked in the mirror, as if the topic just now had changed, and said: "The air here is really good , Every time I come here, I feel that my skin has become better...Look at my face, when I come to the south, I don’t even use lotion, I don’t apply anything, and it’s tender and smooth.”

"Farewell." Jin Xu leaned on the bed and looked at him, and said, "You can't be so tender and slippery, you can't even grasp it."

Shang Yang didn't understand at first, so he asked, "What are you catching?" Then he understood, his face flushed slightly, and he said, "I haven't asked you yet, where did you learn it, I didn't do this trick before."

"Dream." Jin Xu raised his chin towards him, and said in a commanding tone, "Come here."

Shang Yang was even more arrogant: "I don't."

Jin Xu stopped talking, and stared at him. He couldn't stand the stare again, so he came over by himself. As soon as he got close to him, he was hugged and laid down. After a little kiss, his horns softened. The almond eyes sparked at the person, and the chest heaved more and more urgently.

"Is your vital capacity bad?" Jin Xu put his arm around the person, touched the small box he just bought with the other hand, and said, "I haven't done anything to you yet, you're panting like this, you cheated on the police exam Bar?"

Shang Yang also felt that this feeling came too fast. Compared with him, why is the other party so calm and unfair, and said: "I just cheated, do you want to punish me?"

Jin Xu deliberately said: "Punish you to do push-ups or run laps?"

Shang Yang became anxious, and said: "Don't just talk, you can't do it."

Not being fooled by the aggressive general, Jin Xu said, "It sounds nice."

Shang Yang couldn't make a sound, so he decided to play it badly, saying: "I don't want you anymore, I will do it myself, and you will watch from the side, don't get in my way."

Jin Xu: "..."

Shang Yang: "?"

Shang Yang: "!"

Shang Yang wailed: "...What happened? So suddenly?"

Jin Xu's lung capacity is not good at this time, so he hugged Shang Yang tighter and said, "Just... think about the scene you mentioned."

Shang Yang didn't care to understand that what he said was completely different from what he thought, and he was about to cry, but in fact the tears had already burst out.

"I was wrong, I won't do it next time." Jin Xu said it countless times, but he didn't mean to correct his mistakes.

In Shang Yang's memory, it was when he was just turning around last winter that he cried himself into this virtue.At this time, there is no way to scold, there is nowhere to escape, and it is not exactly uncomfortable, sobbing a few times or bleating a few times. Slowly, it is a bit strangely comfortable. For a while, I feel that Jin Xu really deserves to die, and for a while, I feel so uncomfortable. I feel that I love him very much.

In the middle of the night, the temperature is getting lower and lower, but it is not exaggerated to turn on the air conditioner for heating.

Jin Xu was beaten all over his head, knowing that he was wrong, let alone fight back, he didn't even talk back.Shang Yang was shivering from the cold, he was reluctant to part with the human-shaped heater, and he was really angry, muttering and cursing the worst words he could utter, such as "I'll kill you bastard tomorrow", while Drilling into the bastard's arms again.

The temperature really dropped the next day, and it was so cold that Shang Yangmen didn't even want to go out. The original plan of going shopping and playing for two days was about to turn into two days of warming in bed.

"How about buying a high-speed rail ticket to go back today?" Jin Xu said.

"I'm a little uncomfortable." Shang Yang endured it for a long time, and finally said, "My stomach hurts."

Jin Xu was startled, and said, "I was wrong... I have to go to the hospital, can I go? Slow down, I'll pick you up."

"What are you thinking about?" Shang Yang pushed away his hand that was about to hold him up, and said, "Yesterday, there was a wind blowing by the lake, and I caught a little cold."

Jin Xu: "..."

As soon as he heard that he didn't do it, he criticized Shang Yang in turn: "If you don't listen to the button, you have to wear the windbreaker open, and you have to be handsome. Now it's fine."

Shang Yang didn't bother to talk to him, he just lay there and didn't speak, and the sick man unconsciously showed a childish attitude, pouting.

Jin Xu bought some medicine on the delivery platform, and seeing Shang Yang like this, he bowed his head and kissed his relatives, and said some coaxing and obedient words, and Shang Yang was also easy to coax, so he laughed after a few words.

When the stomach-warming medicine and warming stickers bought by Jin Xu arrived, Shang Yang ate them and put on two warming stickers to warm him up. He felt much better. He was away on a business trip for half a month. If you have a good foundation, if you change to someone with a poorer physique, you may have a serious illness.

"I'm fine." Shang Yang didn't feel like playing here anymore, and said, "Why don't you take the high-speed train back in the afternoon?"

Jin Xu said: "I can do whatever you want."

Shang Yang looked at the high-speed rail ticket, and there were still tickets for the afternoon and evening trains, and said: "Then you say hello to Section Chief Huang, and say that we are going back. Thanks to his help in arranging these few days, I have saved a lot of running Wrong way."

Although Huang Jianping had a drooping face all day long, he still dutifully met their needs at work.

Jin Xu and Huang Jianping got along better than Shang Yang got along with him. Jin Xu took out his mobile phone and called Huang Jianping himself.

Shang Yang wanted to book a high-speed rail ticket. He thought about the evening rush hour when he went back, and felt that the evening train would be more suitable. He wanted to discuss it with Jin Xu, so he didn't order it and waited for Jin Xu to finish the call.

"Section Chief Huang, yes, it's me." While talking on the phone, Jin Xu told Huang Jianping that they were going back, and at the same time reached out to touch the warm baby on his belly through Shang Yang's clothes to see if it had a fever the meaning of.

Shang Yang felt that this was a bit strange, and grabbed his hand to stop him from moving.

He probably thought about what Shang Yang was thinking, looked at Shang Yang with a smile, and said, "Well, okay, you are busy with your work... have a case?"

Shang Yang: "..."

When Jin Xu hung up the phone, Shang Yang preemptively said: "Don't worry about other people's cases, we have to go back to work."

Jin Xu's expression was a little subtle, and he said, "Don't you want to know what the case is?"

"I don't want to." Shang Yang said indifferently, "Don't say it, I don't care."

Jin Xu said, "It's related to Qiu Li's suicide case."

Shang Yang suddenly: "What?"

The young male employee who misunderstood that Qiu Li was sexually harassing him was found drowned in the lake this morning.
