Madness of the Heart

Wen He, 37 years old this year, is a middle-level manager of the state-owned enterprise Xinmin Manufacturing. From early to mid-July this year, he learned guzheng from Sha Chun 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 ago, and would be leaving for Europe in a week.

Wen He was not a suspect, Mingshu did not invite him to the Criminal Investigation Bureau, but went to Xinmin to make it himself.

As middle management, Wen He has a separate office.The office is not big, probably because Wen He won't be here for long, so there is nothing on the table or shelf.

Mingshu noticed the medicine next to the computer screen at a glance.

Wen He had an ordinary appearance and was very polite. He poured tea and asked 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 recognized the packaging, if not mistaken, it should be medicine for depression.

"Do you have depression?" Mingshu asked directly.

"Ah..." Wen He was closing the drawer, and he paused without hiding anything, "Well. But I have been insisting on treatment, and the situation has improved a lot after going abroad, and it will not affect my work. I'm sorry, I just came back, things are a bit messy, Let you see."

Mingshu thought about the phrase "does not affect work", and initially judged Wen He's personality in the workplace - down-to-earth, hardworking, a little inferior to himself, caring about other people's evaluation, and putting work first at all times.

One must be cautious when dealing with patients with depression, but fortunately Wen He's degree is not serious.Mingshu mulled over his words and asked, "It's convenient to tell me, how did you suffer from depression?"

Wen He looked slightly embarrassed, and took a sip of tea, "Will 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——Ming Shu commented so in his heart.

"I was 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 searched 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 I have a psychological problem, I can't do it better. I can't just sit and wait."

Mingshu asked: "Which hospital? Which doctor?"

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

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

Luo Yi, Jiulin Psychological Clinic.

Jiulin Psychological Clinic belongs to Guangye Hospital, just across the street from Dongye Medical University.

Mingshu asked: "What is the age of this Dr. Luo?"

Wen He said: "It's about the same age as me, and it's quite powerful. It's already a director when it's less than forty."

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

Mingshu didn't continue to think about it, "How long have you been treated in Jiulin?"

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

Mingshu said, "Would you mind letting me see your medicine?"

Wen He immediately took out the medicine, "How many times have I changed the medicine, I haven't taken this medicine for a long time, it was changed for me by Dr. Luo after the degree lessened."

Mingshu looked at it for a while, then put the medicine on the table, "Did Dr. Luo advise you to do anything besides taking the medicine?"

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

Mingshu's eyes sharpened immediately, "Dr. Luo asked you to go to Sha Chun?"

Wen He was uncomfortable being stared at, 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, and Mingshu thought about it, and asked again: "But you really said just now that it was Dr. Luo's intention that you go to 'Jianjia Bailu' to learn the guzheng."

"My expression was inaccurate, I'm sorry." Wen He explained: "Dr. Luo suggested that I develop a hobby after work, such as music, art, and playing ball, saying that it can help treatment."

Mingshu said, "So you chose Guzheng?"

"Actually, I didn't choose it on my own initiative." Wen He said: "I haven't had any hobbies since I was a child. I only know about studying and taking exams. When I was studying, the male students liked to play football and basketball, and the female students liked to listen to music. 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 rhythm of work and develop hobbies. I couldn't listen to it at that time. After taking a lot of medicine, I didn't feel so depressed. Dr. Luo suggested a few more things. I just started to think about what kind of hobby I want to cultivate." Wen He said, "At the end of June, when I just came out of Jiulin, I met a child handing out leaflets."

Mingshu asked: "A flyer for 'Jianjia Bailu'?"

Wen He said: "That's right. Although I'm not interested in music, I usually listen to folk music on TV and feel comfortable listening to it. I thought it might be a chance. After watching 'Jianjia Bailu', I felt that everything was still there. Not bad, just signed up."

Mingshu asked: "Is it a child who sent you the leaflet?"

"Well, kid." Wen He had never dealt with criminal police before, so he didn't understand why Mingshu's questions were always so strange.

"How small is the child?"

"It's... so tall." Wen He compared his height, "Seven or eight years old, it looks like he won't be more than ten years old anyway."

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

Wen He was born in the countryside, 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 older sisters, all of whom are 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 relied 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 dedicated to learning. His ex-wife met on a blind date after his job became stable. It can't be said how much love they have, but they both have a need for marriage, so they got together five years ago.

The family situation of the ex-wife is not good. Her parents are both urban workers, and she looks down on Wen He's background.

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 demanded that the child who had just turned 3 years old be taken away.

Wen He manages marriage as a job, and knows that his wife has a lot of 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.

To 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 a loner.

"Fortunately, I went to see a doctor." Wen He said: "My condition is much better now than last year. Learning Guzheng and business trips may help me, but I didn't expect Sha Chun to have an accident. She is very kind and understanding. It’s a pity, really.”

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

Mingshu asked: "What do you mean by 'understanding'?"

It can be seen that Wen He really feels sorry for Sha Chun, "We chat every time in class, and I tell her about my experience, and she also tells about her experience. Dr. Luo said that I should get used to talking to others and talking to Sha Chun I feel like I’m more relaxed.”

Mingshu said, "Because you are similar people?"

Wen He did not shy away, "Well, our experiences in school are very similar, and we can empathize with each other when we talk about it. After work, I also work very hard. I really want to rush forward and put a lot of pressure on myself. This is actually how my illness came about. But I am better than her in one thing, my colleagues are very tolerant to me. This time I can 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 depressed patient who is still taking medicine, Wen He's condition is already considered very good.Maybe it won't be long before he's off the drugs.It can be seen how much the environment affects a person.

Mingshu scratched the line in his heart, and then learned about Wen He's superiors and colleagues' evaluation of Wen He—very hardworking, above average ability, and always taking the lead.

But Wenhe has a problem that limits its own development, that is, its vision is not wide enough.

The bottlenecks that Wen He encountered in his work from last year to this year were all due to his limited vision. If he was not in the management team, he would have been able to become a leader among ordinary employees with his hard work. But after he was promoted to the management team, this weakness was gradually exposed. , reflected in the eyes of others is a little lack of ability.

For Wen He, the middle management is already the ceiling.

Criminal Investigation Bureau, Crime Squad.

"Long Tianhao's words have a certain degree of credibility." Mingshu held a medical certificate, "His left hand injury prevented him from strangling, and the murderer of Sha Chun could not be him. He said that he had Ye Medical University met a 'university teacher', and because of the 'university teacher''s persuasion, he went to 'Jianjia Bailu' to learn Guzheng from Sha Chun, I believe it for the time being."

Xiao Yu'an agreed, "In this matter, there is really no need for Long Tianhao to lie."

"There is no obvious conflict between 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 can explain it well, ordinary people are suddenly involved in a murder case, it is normal for them 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."

Ming Shu smacked his lips, seeing that there was no one else, "whoosh" slipped to Xiao Yu'an's side, bent down and leaned into Xiao Yu'an's ear, "Hey Ju Xiao."

The two sat and stood, the standing one had one hand in his trouser pocket, and the shirt and trousers outlined an excellent figure.

"Huh?" Xiao Yu'an said, "Do you have something to do?"

Mingshu's mind suddenly got stuck, he forgot what he wanted to say when he slipped over, stood up straight and thought for a long time, but he just couldn't think of it.

Xiao Yuan patted him on the 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? Before I say anything, you know I'm going to talk nonsense?"

"I can tell by your expression." Xiao Yu'an said: "And you haven't thought about it until now, so it's not important. Our Ming team is an excellent and professional policeman. If what you want to say just now is related to the case, Absolutely won’t make a mistake and forget it.”

"Hey, that's such a compliment..." Mingshu smiled, "Aren't you always blushing?"

Xiao Yu'an said slowly, "You are blushing."

Ming Shu's eyes widened slightly, and he quickly realized that Xiao Yu'an was teasing himself, he quickly shook his head, and said calmly, "Stop, stop!"

Xiao Yu'an smiled and said, "Well, you continue to talk about your thinking."

His family, Ming Xiaoshu, is good at this. Sometimes he will make a fuss suddenly, but he knows how to measure it, and he can take it in and out freely.

"The 10 students in Shachun's one-to-one course are the focus of our investigation. After excluding Wu Zhen, there are still 9 people left. Among them, Zhou Lan has never been contacted. She was the first student to attend the class at 'Jianjia Bailu', earlier than Wu Zhen. , you can ignore her for the time being." Ming Shu folded his legs weakly, and shook the table a few times, "The other 8 people, I divided into a group—Liu Mei and the He family brothers and sisters who are not diligent, There are also those two little girls who have no ability to commit crimes. These 5 people are independent and randomly selected to attend classes at 'Jianjia Bailu', and no external force has any influence on 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 it to me and is chasing her." Xiao Yu'an said.

"Huh?" Mingshu thought for a while, Liu Mei's problem is indeed not small, it is definitely a good thing that Fang Yuanhang has such an idea and is strong in action.

Xiao Yu'an continued: "Wen He, Long Tianhao, and Yu Xiaocheng are diligent, so they are divided into a group?"

"At least Wen He and Long Tianhao must be in a group." Ming Shu said: "Long Tianhao was influenced by the 'university teacher' before going to 'Jianjia Bailu', the purpose is very obvious. Wen He was also pushed In "Jianjia Bailu", the doctor from Jiulin Psychological Clinic has the ability to influence him. However, the "university teacher" Long Tianhao met was in his 50s, and Luo Yi was only in his 30s, so it is unlikely that they are the same person. Wen He was stuffed with leaflets by children after he left Jiulin. Those who distributed the leaflets on the street were either part-time young people or retired middle-aged and elderly people. How could there be children of seven or eight years old? It can be concluded here that the children are Instigated by someone, give Wen He the flyer of 'Jianjia Bailu'."

Mingshu went on to say: "As for Yu Xiaocheng, there are two possibilities. One is that he may have been guided by some kind of guidance, but he didn't realize it—just like Wen He, and the other is that he really chose "Jianjia Bailu" by chance. '. 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 also fits our criminal profile. He is very suspicious, almost It is determined that he is the murderer. His words may not be believed."

"Among 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 has no time to commit crimes."

"Yes." Ming Shu said seriously: "Brother, I think some adjustments have to be made in the way of investigation. 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 This series of cases is likely to be promoted secretly by that 'university teacher'. This person drives people like Wu Zhen and Sha Chun to 'Jianjia Bailu' for Sha Chun to choose!"

Xiao Yu'an stood up, "During the last meeting, I thought about this possibility, 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."

"At first I thought it was murder, but later I found out that it was actually suicide, and now it's back to the fulcrum of murder." Ming Shu said solemnly, "Long Tianhao went to see a doctor at the Affiliated Hospital of Dongye Medical University, and Wen He went to Guang The Jiulin Psychological Clinic in Ye Hospital cannot avoid Dongye Medical University anyway. This 'mysterious man' has surfaced now, but I can't figure out why he did this."

"If Long Tianhao, Wen He, and Yu Xiaocheng were all led to "Jianjia Bailu" by the 'mysterious person', then the randomness of his selection is too strong, like sowing countless 'seeds' randomly, There is always one that can germinate." Xiao Yu'an looked at the portrait of the "university teacher", "He is completely separated from these 'desperate', he accumulates goals, and they choose by themselves... In this way, Sha Chun is the one he gave to Wu Zhen. One of the many 'seeds' prepared."

"What about Wu Zhen's other 'seeds'?" Ming Shu said: "The people who have come into contact with Wu Zhen's handwriting after the handwriting change, may all be the 'seeds' selected by the 'mysterious person'? And the one who was finally persuaded by Wu Zhen was Sha Chun? There is one more clue for investigation...how about going further?"

Xiao Yu'an shook his head, "The future may be this 'mysterious man' himself."

Mingshu's pupils tightened, "Wu Zhen has never killed anyone? He was directly instigated by the 'mysterious man' and became the first 'domino' to fall? It doesn't make sense."

"Wu Zhen's case was earlier, and there is no breakthrough yet." Xiao Yu'an said, "Let's go back to Sha Chun. Sha Chun tried to influence Yu Xiaocheng, Long Tianhao, and Wen He to make one of them a subordinate." A piece of 'dominos'. Although Wenhe suffers from depression, he has already been ups and downs in the workplace, and his mental state is relatively good. Didn't cut to the chase with him."

"Long Tianhao..." Mingshu clasped his hands on his chest, and his brows furrowed deeper as he became emotionally involved, "Sha Chun may not trust him, or for some other reason, finally gave up on him and turned to Choose Yu Xiaocheng. Then, in this way, Yu Xiaocheng is a certain murderer, Sha Chun can only influence these three people, Long and Wen can be ruled out, so who else but Yu Xiaocheng?"

The room fell silent for a while.

A few seconds later, Mingshu asked, "Ju Xiao?"

Xiao Yu'an's eyes were deep, "I'm thinking, if Long Tianhao, Wen He, Yu Xiaocheng, Sha Chun, and Wu Zhen are used as a reference, then the scope of this 'mysterious man' casting his net is too wide and too random. , all the 'seeds' had only one to germinate. I can only think of one similar instance of him doing it all."

Mingshu suddenly realized, "Is he doing an experiment?"

"Om-"

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