Meng Ke was woken up by a knock on the door, she sat up irritably, and then remembered that she slept directly in the dormitory of the police station because of overtime last night.

The knocking continued, she picked up her phone and looked at it, the screen showed the time: 04:49, a faint anger lingered in her chest, but finally she took a deep breath, calmed down, stood up and opened the door.

A trainee policeman in a duty uniform looked at Meng Ke slightly shyly at the door: "Team Leader Meng, I just received a report that there was a suicide case in Changhua Community, I just called your mobile phone, and no one answered, so ......"

Hearing that it was a suicide case, Meng Ke was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "If I'm not mistaken, I will hand over the shift at 6 o'clock last night, are you looking for the wrong person?" ”

"Ah, I know this, but Team Leader Cui said that he was a little unwell, and it just so happened that he knew that you were still in the dormitory, so he asked you to replace him......"

The team leader Cui in the mouth of the trainee police officer is Cui Xiang, a criminal policeman who was just transferred last week, and it is said that he has a very hard political background, and he came here to use the aura of the serious crime team of the General Administration as a springboard to continue to rise.

Cui Xiang is very arrogant, he always likes to command others to do things for him, and he generally knows his background and doesn't dare to offend him, let alone a small trainee police officer. Compared with offending Cui Xiang, it is more cost-effective to offend her, the cordial team leader Meng.

Meng Ke also knew very well that Cui Xiang was unwell, and Bacheng didn't wake up, but finally said: "I know, then let Team Leader Cui have a good rest." You go and get ready, and I'll change my clothes and come down." ”

Closing the door, the trainee policeman breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't expect Team Leader Meng to be so easy to speak.

Meng Ke changed into a coat, made a phone call, and walked downstairs.

The process of handling the suicide case is not very difficult, the deceased is a 30-year-old unmarried woman, suffering from severe depression, and has attempted suicide many times before, but no one thought that she succeeded today, in a way, Meng Ke felt that she should congratulate her on the fulfillment of her wish, and finally liberated the world.

Because there is no nature of murder, the process of closing the case is left to the trainee police officer. Meng Ke was about to simply pack up her things and go home, but as soon as she walked into the office with her front foot, she saw Cui Xiang walking towards her angrily with her back foot: "Meng Ke! Is there something wrong with you?! ”

Meng Ke smiled unhurriedly at Cui Xiang: "What's the matter, Team Leader Cui, the fire is so strong in the early morning?" ”

"Isn't it just for you to help with the police? I don't want to go out of the house, what ambulance did you call me?! If he wasn't still at the police station, he would have done it to Meng Ke a long time ago.

Meng Ke replied calmly: "I'm doing it for your good, Team Leader Cui, I heard that you are not feeling well, and you can't even get out of the police, I guess you must be very seriously ill, and there is no one to take care of you in the police station, in case one is not careful, it will not be good to die in the line of duty." That's why I kindly called an ambulance for you. ”

In the end, it was Meng Ke who was lazy and saw through it, Cui Xiang's momentum suddenly weakened by half: "It's just a small cold, is it necessary to make such a fuss?" You didn't mean to embarrass me, did you? ”

Meng Ke smiled: "You can't say that, if you let the inspector know that Team Leader Cui is just because you have a little cold and you can't serve the people, I'm afraid you have no hope for this year's promotion." ”

said Cui Xiang's sore spot in one sentence: "Okay, you Meng Ke, I will remember this account for you!" After saying that, he turned around and left angrily.

Meng Ke still kept a smile: "It's just a little help, Team Leader Cui doesn't have to take it to heart." After speaking, he sneered and prepared to pack his things and go home.

Lu Jun, who had been hiding in his seat and eavesdropping, came over when he saw Cui Xiang walking away: "Sister Meng, didn't you see Cui Xiang's angry appearance when the ambulance came just now, I almost thought he would beat you just now!" ”

"If he doesn't want to be promoted, I believe he will. Okay, I'm going home, you can go back and rest early. Meng Ke picked up the bag and said to Lu Jun.

"Sister Meng, let's go!" Lu Jun handsomely saluted Meng Ke's back by the way.

Seeing Meng Ke walking away, the trainee policeman who was sorting out the documents on the side slowly came over: "Officer Lu, I think Team Leader Meng is very kind, maybe she is really afraid of what will happen to Team Leader Cui~" After all, when he went to call Meng Ke to the police in the morning, Meng Ke's cordial appearance left a deep impression in his heart.

Lu Jun glanced at him: "You didn't understand it just now, our kind and lovely Team Leader Meng, actually...... It's a female demon~ If it weren't for her brother's recent accident, she would have done even more excessive things. ”

"What happened to Team Leader Meng's brother?" The trainee police officer recalled that the last few times he saw Meng Ke, he was all smiling, not like something had happened at home.

"Not long ago, I committed suicide by burning charcoal at home."

Meng Ke and Meng Ran are brother and sister, the two grew up in an orphanage, fortunately, they are both smart children, and when they grow up, Meng Ran becomes a writer, and Meng Ke becomes a policeman.

The personalities of the two siblings are completely different, the elder brother Meng Ran has been a whimsical and emotional little boy since he was a child, while Meng Ke is the opposite, she is very indifferent to everything, and her world does not seem to have a trace of emotional waves, and even makes people feel that she is very ruthless.

Of course, she still has a deep affection for her own brother, otherwise she wouldn't be living under the same roof until now.

But not long ago, Meng Ran, who has always been cheerful and optimistic, committed suicide by burning charcoal at home, without even leaving a suicide note. At first, Meng Ke insisted that his brother was killed, but after many investigations, Meng Ran did die of burning charcoal to commit suicide, and all Meng Ke could do was accept reality.

After holding his brother's funeral, Meng Ke still worked and lived as usual, and many people speculated that maybe Meng Ke and his brother did not have a very deep relationship. But only she knew how painful her heart was, and how calm it was now pretended.

As soon as I entered the house, the landline rang. The caller was Zhan Wen, editor of Meng Ran Novel Publishing House: "Thank God, you finally answered the phone. He sounded excited.

"I've already said that I really don't know if my brother's novel has been finished or not. So don't call again. ”

At Meng Ran's funeral before, the editor had asked her about Meng Ran's novel, and it wasn't until then that she knew that her brother had a novel in his hand that was not finished when he died.

Meng Ran's death has made his novel receive more attention than before, especially the unfinished Xianxia novel, if the ending can be found at this time and published, Zhan Wen and Meng Ke promise that the novel will definitely be a big hit. But Meng Ke refused on the spot, because she was unwilling to use her brother's death to make money.

"I'll ask you, Miss Meng, you can go to Meng Ran's computer to find out, maybe he wrote it in advance? I believe that Meng Ran must not want his novels to be such 'eunuchs'. When Zhan Wen said this, Meng Ke felt irritable for a while, and hung up the phone after saying "It's none of my business".

The empty room made Meng Ke fall into memories:

[Meng Ran was babbling while cooking in the kitchen: "I'm going to try to write a Xianxia type novel this time. ”

"Really? That's nice. Meng Ke responded perfunctorily to Meng Ran while reading the documents in the living room.

"That's right, although Zhan Wen doesn't want that guy to look reluctant, after all, he didn't agree with the ancient style I transcribed from suspense last time, but fortunately, the response was very good in the end, which shows that as long as I want to write about the genre, there is nothing bad to write. After all, you know, I've always used the same protagonist character, and I can only spark in different stories. Meng Ran carefully plated the seafood in the pot and brought it to the table. looked at Meng Ke and continued: "Don't always worry about work, come over for dinner." It's rare for you to go home for dinner, so I've prepared your favorite seafood for you. ”

"Okay, here." Meng Ke picked up the document in his hand and walked to the dining table and sat down, picked up the chopsticks with one hand and continued to read the information in his hand with the other. Suddenly, the top of her head hurt, and she frowned and looked up at Meng Ran suspiciously.

"How many times have you said, don't bite the chopsticks. You, oh, have had this bad habit since you were a child, and you like to put things in your mouth and bite when you think about things! Have you had a tough case lately? ”

"It's fine." Meng Ke put down the document in his hand, and when Meng Ran was about to continue to say something, Meng Ke's mobile phone rang: "It's me, okay, are you sure it's that person?" You continue to squat, and I will go now. After speaking, he stood up and picked up a coat: "I'm going out now, you can eat first." ”

"Then what's the matter, you don't want to eat on time!" Meng Ran said and was about to go to the kitchen to get the lunch box: "You can bring some soup to the office, it's good to warm your stomach." ”

"No need." With that, he walked towards the door. 】

Meng Ke couldn't remember what Meng Ran's expression was at that time, and she couldn't remember the last time she had a good chat with Meng Ran, she didn't know anything about Meng Ran's joys, sorrows, and sorrows, and she felt that the reason why Meng Ran didn't even leave a suicide note was probably because she didn't think she cared.

Since Meng Ran's death, this was the first time Meng Ke walked into his brother's study, everything around Meng Ke felt strange and familiar, and tears couldn't help but linger in his eyes, but in the end they didn't flow.

She walked over to the computer and sat down, and suddenly a shadow flashed in front of the computer screen. Meng Ke looked back vigilantly, the desk was against the window, she stood up and looked out the window, this is the 18th floor, there should be no one hiding outside the window.

Maybe it's a bird, Meng Ke thought about it like this, and this time she was sure that there was a person watching her inside the computer with a black screen, and before she could see who it was, a white light flashed, and Meng Ke lost consciousness.

When he opened his eyes again, Meng Ke only saw that there was nothing around him, and then a mechanical female voice suddenly came: "Welcome to the protagonist's self-rescue system, and now a primary task will be distributed, please choose, A. accept the task B. be forced to accept the task." ”

Meng Ke didn't know where he was now, and what the other party meant by what he said, he just thought he was dreaming. But then I heard again: "Warm reminder, you are not in a dream at the moment, please hurry up and choose whether to accept the task of the system." ”

Meng Ke didn't like to be urged, and frowned: "What system task?" Who are you? ”
