monologue

Chapter 67 The Outer Room (1)
At around 11:[-] am, Shen Yue left the Criminal Police Headquarters.He put down the file in his hand and left without saying hello to Long Huamin.Long Huamin thought that he had gone to the bathroom, but he waited for a long time before he came back. After calling to ask, he found out that this guy had run away.

"There's something wrong." Shen Yue said.In fact, he did this on purpose, because he didn't want Long Huamin to treat him as a subordinate, even subconsciously.Now, Long Huamin was already too dependent on him, and it would not be a good thing if it continued like this.

Shen Yue's dream is not to assist the police in solving crimes at all, but to popularize psychological counseling and treatment of mental illness in China.In this respect, China is many years behind Western developed countries. In China, many people still regard mental and mental diseases as scourges.A normal mental and spiritual state is so important to a person, and its importance can even rise to the level of a country and a nation.The creativity displayed by a nation of healthy minds will be very powerful.

But Shen Yue had to cooperate with the police at any time, because that was his obligation as a citizen.He believes that every citizen can fulfill their obligations, which is the foundation of a strong nation.

As soon as Tan Huade saw Shen Yue, he held his hand tightly and said, "Dr. Shen, I was wrong last time. I shouldn't doubt you like that..."

Shen Yue looked very indifferent, and said: "I understand, after all, there are too many people who are boastful in this society. I know, as long as you do what I say, you will definitely change your view and attitude towards me .You are a businessman and you only care about reality, which I can totally understand."

This sentence was a little harsh, Tan Huade smiled bitterly in his heart: Yes, he said he understood, but he was actually really angry.However, he still had a smile on his face and said: "Dr. Shen is criticizing me, but I fully accept your criticism. By the way, I have already sent someone to implement your suggestion. You said that there will be more What's the next plan?"

Shen Yue replied: "Television stations, movies, outdoor large-scale advertisements, the Internet, etc., to be precise, use images and pictures to carry out deeper psychological hints on the basis of the first step of commercial promotion. This is divided into several parts. This stage, I will tell you slowly in the future, but you have to prepare funds for the later promotion plan, the commercial advertising fee of the TV station is not cheap."

Tan Huade said with a smile: "It's very simple. As long as the first stage of promotion is successful, we can use the previous profits and bank loans to complete the subsequent promotion plan. Once the brand is established, it will not be a lot of money. ?”

Shen Yue sighed and said: "Talking about the boss's business sense is really extraordinary, a person like you can't do without making money."

Tan Huade laughed: "We are each other, you and I are the most perfect cooperation. Dr. Shen, I am eager to see you today and I have other things. Can you design a set of auto parts for my company? Business promotion plan?"

Shen Yue said those ugly words just now on purpose.A businessman pursues profit like a fly chasing smell, like a mosquito bloodthirsty, Shen Yue is a scholar, he feels that he must keep a certain distance from such people, this is also a kind of instinctive self-protection, and at the same time, it is also to keep himself away as much as possible. Business, maintain academic purity.At this time, upon hearing Tanhua De's request, Shen Yue immediately refused: "No. As I said before, the commercial application of psychology must adhere to the minimum bottom line and principles. Such things cannot be discussed."

Tan Huade didn't want to give up, he said: "I can double the original promotion fee. Dr. Shen, please think about it carefully. Principles are dead, but people are alive. Besides, the auto parts we produce The quality is very good, and every appraisal by the national quality inspection department is qualified.”

Shen Yue said disapprovingly: "I am very aware of the level of domestic automobile manufacturing. Maybe I will buy domestically produced cars in the future, but I will definitely not make a promotion plan for such products. Such products are related to people's lives and safety, so we must be cautious. .”

Tan Huade didn't understand, and asked: "According to what you said, those celebrities shouldn't endorse cars? In this way, domestic cars shouldn't be produced. Dr. Shen, I think you sometimes really Too conservative."

Shen Yue shook his head and said: "No. Business and science are completely two categories and two concepts. Anyone engaged in scientific research must stick to his professional bottom line. When Madam Curie studied radium, it was definitely not for the purpose of using it. As for the manufacture of nuclear weapons, the current situation is caused by people who broke through the bottom line of science. I can't touch the bottom line I have always adhered to. This matter is not discussed. Talk about the boss, if you insist, We can stop the next stage of cooperation, and I can fully refund your advance payment to you."

"Don't..." Tan Huade became anxious immediately.

The police have never had any news about the two matters that Shen Yue requested to investigate. In the next few days, Shen Yue basically spent all his time in the Criminal Police Headquarters. , but there is still no new information and clues.

From the point of view of a person's personality and psychology, the more he is like Lu Wenhua, who is usually boring, the more things are hidden in his heart, so Shen Yue feels more and more that he is just uncovering the truth of Lu Wenhua's inner world. corner.

However, in the past few days, Shen Yue has gained a lot in other aspects.After looking through the case files for which no criminal suspects have been identified, Shen Yue found that most of the cases were not as simple as he imagined, and many cases needed to be investigated from the beginning, just like the case of Lu Wenhua in his hand. .Only now did he truly feel that a person's ability and strength are really limited, and the only and very helpless way he can do most of the time is to let go.

It is much easier to identify cases. This is the type of cases that Shen Yue often handles when he is in the United States. The suspects are ready-made. It is either to identify whether they are the murderers or to separate the real murderer from several suspects. identified among them.

What made Shen Yue most gratified was that the radiologist's case was solved.And just as he speculated, the murderer was Dong Xiaona's father.Her father voluntarily surrendered, and he confessed all the details of his crime.After Shen Yue got the news, he was complacent for a while, and then he calmed down.In fact, no one knew that his heart was in pain.After getting short-term self-satisfaction, he began to ask himself: Does this result really give you a sense of accomplishment?No, this is a kind of sadness, a kind of sadness of the imperfect legal system of the country and the indifference of citizens' legal awareness.If... In fact, all this could have been avoided.

Shen Yue is just a scholar, not a politician, so he can only express his helplessness in this situation.But he believes in one thing: the future must be beautiful, and such a beautiful needs to work hard from now on, and everyone needs to fulfill their obligations.

Three days later, only half of the pile of case files had been processed, and Shen Yue had visibly lost weight.During this time, Kang Ruxin stayed with him all the time.She and Shen Yue went through the screening process of those cases together. Whenever the case turned and became clear in an instant, she would always burst into tears.Later, she found that Shen Yue was physically and mentally exhausted, so she ran to Long Huamin and yelled: "You will exhaust him like this."

Long Huamin chuckled: "Girls are extroverted, I know you love him, but what about those cases?"

Kang Ruxin murmured: "These cases are all accumulated by you this year. His strength alone is always limited. How can he finish it? Besides, he is a very serious person. If this continues, he will really be punished." Tired."

Long Huamin thought for a while and said, "Okay, you go and call him here."

When Shen Yue walked into the office, Long Huamin was also taken aback.In front of him, Shen Yue's complexion was pale, his eyes were as red as a rabbit's, and his beard had grown quite long.Long Huamin's heart ached immediately, and he asked, "Have you not slept these days?"

Shen Yue smiled wryly and said: "I can't sleep, I always think about those cases when I lie on the bed..."

Long Huamin regretted throwing all those case files to him at the beginning, and said, "You don't need to deal with the backlog of cases, go back and have a good rest, and tomorrow I will tell you about the investigation of Lu Wenhua."

When Shen Yue heard this, his eyes widened. He suspected that Long Huamin had deliberately not told him about this matter in advance, so that he could deal with the backlog of cases with peace of mind.Although he could understand Long Huamin's actions, he was still annoyed: "How could you do this? Please tell me the situation now. Now!"

Seeing his angry look, Long Huamin knew he couldn't hold him back, so he sighed and said, "Well, a policeman from a police station has inquired about Lu Wenhua." Immediately, Long Huamin told the specific situation.After hearing this, Shen Yue nodded and said: "That's right, let me just say that Lu Wenhua's family is too poor, which is unreasonable."

Long Huamin looked at him and said, "You've worked hard these days, you must go back and have a good rest. Lu Wenhua's case doesn't seem to be simpler than Kan Stone's car accident case. You must pay attention to combining work and rest."

Shen Yue ignored his words and said, "I want to take a few files back to study, is that okay?"

Long Huamin waved his hand at him and said, "You don't need to worry about those cases, there are still many things you need to do in the future, and it will not be worth the loss if you are exhausted."

Shen Yue said: "I found that there are a few cases in those files that seem to be related to a certain extent, so I want to take them back and study them carefully."

Long Huamin raised his eyebrows and asked, "Which cases?"

Shen Yue replied: "I found that there are three cases in the file that seem to have the same modus operandi. Although these three cases occurred several months apart, the victims are not connected, and the places of death are far apart, but The victims all died from a sharp and slender weapon, and they all died immediately after being pierced into the heart. Officer Long, I also hope that you can check the cases before this year according to this feature to see if there are any similar cases."

Long Huamin said: "Maybe the case happened in different jurisdictions of the criminal police detachment below, so there is no joint investigation. This is a problem that often occurs in our work. Xiao Shen, thank you, we must pay attention to this aspect in the future The situation. All right, I’ll send someone to investigate right away, and then I’ll hand over the case files to you.”

After returning home, Shen Yue lay on the bed directly.He was really exhausted these past few days, and now that he could finally put those cases down, his tense nerves were instantly relaxed.He slept through it until the next morning.

"Let's go to that police station first." Shen Yue said to Kang Ruxin who was driving.

The policeman's introduction was similar to what Long Huamin said. Lu Wenhua raised a woman in the mountains on the outskirts of the provincial capital.The policeman said: "The strange thing is, that woman is very ugly, and she gave birth to a child for Lu Wenhua."

This is a new situation.Shen Yue asked: "Have you understood, is Lu Wenhua married to that woman?"

The policeman shook his head and said, "I checked that woman's household registration, her name is Qin Wenxiu, and she is still unmarried."

Shen Yue suddenly became curious about the woman named Qin Wenxiu, and said to the policeman, "Let's go, take us to that woman's house."

Half an hour later, the police cars began to go up the mountain along the Panshan Highway.The snow on both sides of the road has not yet melted, and there is a gloomy scene in front of me.On the way up the mountain, Shen Yue saw a return bus, and thought that Lu Wenhua might have taken this kind of transportation to go to that woman's house all these years, and wondered what kind of state of mind he would be on this journey.

After going up the mountain, the road suddenly became flat, but the snow on both sides of the road became thicker, and the police car drove for more than half an hour before finally reaching the destination.The policeman pointed to the small yard below the road and said, "This is it."

It was a small yard surrounded by bamboo forests and trees. The house was not particularly new, it should have been built a few years ago.Shen Yue looked around and found that there was another house in the distance. He asked curiously, "How did you find out that Lu Wenhua was related to this woman?"

The policeman said: "This area is under the jurisdiction of our police station. I found the driver of the bus on this road, and they recognized Lu Wenhua in the photo. Then I went to the village director here. The village director took Lu Wenhua and this woman's Relationships told me, and I found this place."

Shen Yue asked again: "What else did the village director tell you?"

The policeman replied: "The village director said that the parents of that woman named Qin Wenxiu had died a long time ago, and she was an orphan. Because she was so ugly, no one would marry her at all. Later, people in the village found out that there was a The man lived with her, and the man was very old, but he didn't think it was strange. Although Qin Wenxiu was ugly, she was young after all. Qin Wenxiu's family was very poor, and the people in the village saw that someone wanted her , and no one ever asked what was going on.”

A woman who is ugly and has a very difficult family is often ignored or even interested in her personal life.This is reality, and it is also the human heart.Shen Yue sighed secretly in his heart.

Shen Yue asked, "Did you tell her about Lu Wenhua's death?"

The policeman shook his head and said, "I can't bear to tell her."

Following a small path, the three of them soon arrived in the small yard.The small yard is very clean, without any snow, and the porch is full of firewood, neatly.The door of the house in front of me was open, and because of the light, I couldn't see the dark inside clearly.The policeman asked loudly inside, "Is Qin Wenxiu at home?"

Soon, a little boy appeared at the door, about ten years old, vaguely like Lu Wenhua.The little boy asked curiously, "Who are you?"

Immediately, another woman appeared at the door. When she saw the policeman, she hurriedly greeted him warmly: "It's Comrade Huang, come in and sit down."

Shen Yue understood the reason for this woman's ugliness at first sight.Her face was completely deformed, the corner of her mouth was tilted to one side, and one of her legs was limping.Apparently, this was caused by cerebral palsy, which occurred at birth.Fortunately the little boy is healthy.

Kang Ruxin whispered to Shen Yue, "It's really ugly."

Shen Yue then whispered to her: "So, you should thank God for making you so beautiful."

Kang Ruxin blushed a little, pushed him lightly, and said softly: "Go in, it's too cold outside."

As soon as he entered the room, there was a strong smell of bacon. Shen Yue saw a fire pit in the corner of the room, and a big dry tree root was burning vigorously.There is an iron pot hanging above the firepit, in which bacon and radish are stewed.Qin Wenxiu invited the three of them to sit down by the fire pond, and the policeman surnamed Huang introduced the identities of Kang Ruxin and Shen Yue, but his introduction to Shen Yue was rather vague.

Shen Yue stretched out his hand towards the firepit, and a feeling of warmth flooded his whole body in an instant.He asked Qin Wenxiu, "How long have you been with Lu Wenhua? How did you know each other?"

Qin Wenxiu replied: "I have known him for many years, and this child was born in the second year of our acquaintance. I met him when I went to sell vegetables in the city. When he saw that I was a disabled person, he immediately took my I bought all the vegetables. He asked me where I lived, and I told him. I thought he was just asking casually, but he said he would take me home. My house used to be dilapidated, but later he spent money to help me renovate it Yeah. That day he asked me where my family went, I said I was alone, he asked me again, 'Have you ever had a man before?' I said I'm so ugly, who wants me? He was very happy and said , 'Then I'll be your man', and he's been coming a lot since then."
