Bypassing the European-style white carved screen, you will see the light tilting like flowing water. A large area is furnished like a warm and elegant home space. Only in the center was a small white round table, and a delicately dressed woman sat behind the table.

Jian Yao followed Bo Jinyan over.

I have to say that Yin Ziqi is a very temperamental woman. Wearing a red off-the-shoulder long skirt and elegant manners, even when Jian Yao saw this woman, she had to praise her generosity ~ sense. But when his eyes wandered, there was a cold aura. Seems less approachable.

However, this kind of coldness, when Bo Jinyan walked in front of her, turned into a feminine resentment. She glanced at him, "Finally willing to eat with me?" ”

Bo Jinyan didn't pay attention, pulled out a chair and sat down, and glanced at Jian Yao: "Sit." ”

Yin Ziqi stood up, shook hands with Jian Yao with a light smile: "Hello." ”

Jian Yao was neither humble nor arrogant, and smiled shallowly: "Hello, chairman, I am Jian Yao." ”

The three of them were seated.

Yin Ziqi looked at Bo Jinyan sideways: "I thought that the assistant would be like you, an arrogant and withdrawn weirdo." ”

She said it so directly, Jian Yao had a good impression of her, and replied with a smile: "Of course I'm not." ”

Bo Jinyan raised his eyes and glanced at Yin Ziqi at this time, and his tone was sarcastic: "You evaluate me like that? ”

Yin Ziqi bit her lower lip, looked at him with a smile in her eyes, and was about to speak, but Bo Jinyan suddenly remembered something, turned her head to look at Jian Yao, and there was a faint coldness in her eyes: "You think so too?" ”

Jian Yao ignored his coldness and replied softly and quickly: "Who transferred me without making a sound?" ”

Yin Ziqi watched the two of them come and go, a little surprised, and said with a slight smile: "Miss Jane, I asked Jin Yan to come to the company to investigate." He insisted that you take over when you arrived, so he had to transfer your job. ”

Insist that she take over when she arrives?

Jian Yao was a little pleased in her heart, glanced at Bo Jinyan, and replied with a smile: "It's okay, I'm willing to participate." ”

Yin Ziqi said again: "But I thought you both had a good deal." I didn't expect him to still say hello like this, and he did his own thing......"

Bo Jinyan interrupted her: "We have already talked about it. Just now. Let's get down to business. ”

Yin Ziqi smiled silently and looked at Jian Yao: "Officially introduced, I am Jin Yan's sister." ”

Jian Yao probably guessed that they were relatives, but she didn't expect them to be sisters—because she hadn't heard Bo Jinyan mention it at all. As if sensing her doubts, Yin Ziqi smiled lightly and said: "Half-brother, Jin Yan's father and my mother both remarried, and not many people know about it. We grew up together in the United States. ”

——

Before serving, Yin Ziqi talked about the case.

"Wang Wanwei's death has been confirmed by the police as a suicide. There are two things I want you to look into:

1. In her suicide note, she mentioned that she was overwhelmed by the pressure and chose to end her life. I don't know if this pressure has anything to do with the working environment of the 3rd Department of Major Accounts. If it's because of the inhumane management style in the department, I have to find out. So, I want to know the specific reason why she committed suicide;

Second, the cause of her death was not announced by the police, which is what I requested. Because she died of an overdose. I have heard that in some companies in mainland China, many white-collar workers use and even sell drugs. Wang Wanwei looks like a very weak girl, so big customer 3, or even the entire company, are there other people who take drugs? Is there a drug network that I don't know about? None of this is known, but I will never allow such a cancer to exist in my company. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Jian Yao fell into deep thought. She didn't expect that the seemingly glamorous and calm departments and companies would have such a filthy possibility. Of course, she felt that some people in the department were a little delicate today, but before she thought, which department is not delicate?

Bo Jinyan was obviously not moved by Yin Ziqi's words, because he said with great ridicule: "Oh, investigating the cause of the suicide and investigating whether the company has a drug network - it sounds like an introductory exercise question for a first-year criminology freshman, so exciting." ”

Yin Ziqi feigned anger: "Jin Yan! This company is the brainchild of Uncle Bo and my mother, and you also have shares. I can't get the police to investigate openly, but you have to fix this. ”

Bo Jinyan looked at Jian Yao: "It's okay, we have Jian Yao." This difficulty is just right for her, so it's time for her to practice. ”

Yin Ziqi was stunned.

Jian Yao completely ignored his nonsense, and said to Yin Ziqi seriously: "We will do our best." ”

Yin Ziqi nodded at this time, and said with a smile: "You go back and read the information slowly, eat first, and don't talk about work." Looking at Jian Yao: "I made the decision and ordered, don't you mind?" ”

Jian Yao: "I don't mind. ”

Yin Ziqi glanced at Bo Jin Yan again: "Of course you don't mind." Then he instructed the waiter to serve the food.

——

The appetizer was some vegetable salad, the main dish Yin Ziqi ordered steak for herself and Jian Yao, and Bo Jinyan for pan-fried cod and lemon honey salmon steak. Yin Ziqi pointed to vegetables, fish and soup, and said to Bo Jinyan: "You must eat them all, not just fish." ”

Bo Jinyan said lightly: "It's eventful." "But I still ate it slowly.

Jian Yao looked at the relationship between the two and thought to herself, this sister still has a lot of say in front of Bo Jinyan.

Jian Yao was already full after eating the steak, and the vegetable salad barely moved. was sitting quietly, and suddenly a pair of hands stretched out in front of him - Bo Jinyan brought her salad in front of him and ate it very naturally.

Jian Yao's heart was ironed. Looking at his handsome and indifferent side face, it seems to be pleasing to the eye, but in front of outsiders, it is also a little embarrassed.

When I looked up, I saw Yin Ziqi looking at herself, her eyes pale and pale. But she quickly looked away and looked at Bo Jinyan, as if she wanted to say something, but she still didn't speak.

So Jian Yao naturally noticed that most of her salad was left, but Bo Jinyan didn't eat it.

Well, she's a little bored and inexplicable, how can she care about such a thing? Keep your head down and continue to drink tea.

——

Soon Bo Jinyan also finished eating, wiped his mouth with a napkin elegantly, and looked at Yin Ziqi with a dull gaze. Both Jian Yao and Yin Ziqi thought that he was going to talk about something serious, such as his attitude or strategy towards this investigation.

Who knew that he said unhurriedly: "After the investigation is over, please make sure that Jian Yao can still be her little assistant in obscurity." I know that you are the best at controlling public opinion and covering up the facts, so don't let others think that Jian Yao is an inexplicable person such as a small detective in the workplace, a double-faced female white-collar worker, and a female spy in the Ministry of Public Security. ”

——

By the time I drove home, it was already past eight o'clock at night. The night is dark and the weather is cool. Jian Yao sat in the passenger seat, and when she thought of what he had just said, her mood became ...... Very good.

The car was quiet, and Jian Yao began to have nothing to say: "You have a good relationship with your sister." ”

Bo Jinyan drove the car, his eyes looking straight ahead: "I'm sorry, the person concerned didn't feel it." ”

Jian Yao held her chin and looked at him - this kind of thing is also awkward? If it weren't for his sister, how could he take on a novice entry-level investigation?

As if guessing what she was thinking, an indifferent smile rose in Bo Jinyan's eyes: "Rare and strange." If you commit suicide today, I will find out to the end. ”

Jian Yao: "...... Should I say thank you? ”

She won't kill herself, okay? How can anyone use such a metaphor to express the importance of people?

——

After the last case, the two finally had some tacit understanding. As soon as I returned to his house, I sat in the living room and read the materials together.

Wang Wanwei, a native of Luochuan County, H Province, studied at university in City B, and is single and unmarried. The resume is ordinary, and the only thing special is that her parents divorced and her mother raised her alone. My mother ran a tailor shop by herself, and the family's economic environment was not good.

Last month, the company's key account center (including more than a dozen departments) held an annual meeting at a tourist attraction resort, Wang Wanwei committed suicide by overdosing on drugs at her residence, and her body was found by colleagues the next morning. The police also found traces of previous drug injections on her body, as well as a suicide note, which was ruled suicide.

There are also photos of the scene in the kit: the villa where she lived at the time, the body lying quietly on the bed, her personal belongings such as boxes, clothes, earrings, accessories, etc., and the environment outside the villa at that time - several villas were clustered together, and according to police confessions, the people who lived around were other colleagues from the 3rd Department of the major customer.

Jian Yao picked up the photocopy of the suicide note, the suicide note was not long, but the handwriting was delicate and upright, but the last few lines were a little sloppy. She wrote to her mother:

"Mom:

When you read this letter, I was no longer in this world. I'm sorry, but I can't support you in your old age. I am cowardly, and I have never been able to satisfy you and bring you the life you want. Now that I choose to leave, please believe that this is the best path for me, and you must not feel sorry for me. Life is long and short, in fact, death is only a momentary thing, there is no difference, right?

I used to think that the future was bright. Although my conditions are very average, as long as I work hard, I can get my own small place in this society. But I was wrong, Mom, it turns out that some things are not so beautiful. There are some things that I can't do no matter how hard I try, no one else is smart, no one else can speak well, and I don't know how to read words and feelings. In the fiercely contested position of marketing and sales, I didn't do well at all. I was like a grizzled defeat, and I could only pretend to smile every day, hiding in my little shell, and shrinking back little by little until I was in a bottomless pit.

I don't even know when my life has become so gloomy and hopeless...... Every day when I get up, I look at the person in the mirror, is she me? Why is it like a dead shell, stuck in the quagmire, unable to extricate itself? I don't even dare to go home, I don't dare this year, I'm afraid to see you. It's not that I'm afraid you'll beat me and scold me, I'm afraid you'll be sad.

Mom, I've done a lot of things wrong, one wrong step, one wrong step. I can't go back. So I don't look back, I choose to end.

Mom, I still have 20,000 yuan in my bank passbook, and the password is the year of birth of you, Dad, and I. Not much money, sorry mom.

Mom, don't be sad. Making this decision was a relief for me. I can't change my fate, I can't resist fate, but I can at least choose to end, and my life will end in my own hands.

Goodbye, Mom. Don't be sad, tomorrow is a new beginning.

The unfilial daughter Wanwei respected.

XX YEAR X MONTH X DAY

Jian Yao put down the suicide note, her eyes moistened, and she was silent.

After a while, he noticed two sharp gazes fall on his face. cleared his throat and looked at Bo Jinyan: "I've finished reading the information." ”

Bo Jinyan leaned on the sofa, his hands pillowed behind his head, his long legs folded, and his posture stretched. His mood didn't seem affected in the slightest.

"To be my assistant, the last thing I need is sentimentality. Is it possible to go back to normal mode? ”

Jian Yao replied: "Women are sentimental, unless you go to find a man." And this man must also be able to fish, decorate your home, take care of Silence, and not dislike your many picks! ”

Bo Jinyan glanced at her, but did not speak this time.

Jian Yao quickly calmed down.

I have experienced the "Killing Machine Case" and seen the corpses of those innocent teenagers. Looking at Wang Wanwei again, she is indeed pitiful, and may have suffered blows and hardships. But...... No matter how difficult it is, you have to live to be responsible for life and the people around you.

She thinks that solving the case, like other work, must not be affected by the assumptions and conclusions of the predecessors, for example, Wang Wanwei must have committed suicide. So she asked: "Is it because this suicide note is sincere, so the police sentenced her to suicide?" That's fine, right? ”

Bo Jinyan: "Emotions are the most scientifically impossible to quantify and judge. If this alone is judged to be a suicide, then it is all too easy for him to disguise his murder as a suicide - the murderer only needs to pretend that he is dying and then write a paragraph. ”

Jian Yao thought that what he said was the same, so she looked at him and waited for his professional analysis.

Bo Jinyan met her concerned and faintly curious gaze, was silent for a moment, and raised his hand to hold his forehead: "I hate freshman admission questions. Simple to boring. ”

"Speak quickly!"

Bo Jinyan closed his eyes and spoke in a low and fluent voice:

This is indeed a suicide note prepared by her for suicide.

First of all, when she wrote her suicide note, she was not coerced. Because of the fluency of handwriting, many consecutive strokes, all in one go, except for the last few lines of scribbled handwriting - because the writing is already very emotional at the end. If it is coerced, there will be pauses or clerical errors in the handwriting;

In addition to this, there are quite a lot of corroborations: for example, she used a lot of abstract metaphors in her suicide note, such as defeat, shell, bottomless pit, and abyss; There are also many repetitive phrases, such as 'Mom, don't be sad,' and some words that have no beginning or end, such as 'My life has become gray and dirty...... How do people who know forged letters write? Or is it someone who coerces her? None of the above, they will ask her to write as clearly, concisely, to the point, and logically as possible, so as not to appear to be flawed. And this suicide note, it seems that there are small problems and habits in the writing everywhere, this is a real suicide note.

Therefore, the liar will try to lie as much as possible, and the truth-teller will not care so much. ”

Jian Yao nodded, and Bo Jinyan said: "In addition, there are also distinct personal characteristics in the sentence structure: she is used to using the analogy sentence 'no...... There is no ......', 'then...... Then ......'; I like to use subject-verb structure, and I don't like to use verb-object structure; Of course, the sincerity of what you said is barely a little bit, because her writing still reveals the sadness of a literary and artistic youth. ”

Jian Yao read the suicide note again, and sure enough, every point was as he said. After sighing, he raised his head again: "You analyzed it thoroughly. ”

A smile flashed in Bo Jinyan's eyes.

Jian Yao asked again: "Then what do we do now?" ”

Bo Jinyan replied: "Let's start by investigating the cause of the suicide. Find out everything about her, and if there is a drug network, it will naturally surface. ”

"How do I get started?"

Bo Jinyan was silent for a moment and asked her, "What are the reasons for a woman's suicide?" ”

Jian Yao thought for a while and replied: "Work pressure, emotional problems, financial pressure, physical illness, ......"

Bo Jinyan's face was a little stinky.

"Great." "I'm not interested in any of that," he said. You decide. ”

For a criminal psychologist who loves serial killers, all of the above is a far cry from the above. Jian Yao didn't bother to spur him on, anyway, if he really worked, he would naturally become serious, indifferent, serious and domineering again.

"Let's start with the deceased's background check." Jian Yao said.

These words made Bo Jinyan raise his eyes to look at her, a shallow smile floated in his eyes like starlight, and his tone was a little meaningful: "You read a book on criminal psychology. ”

Jian Yao was slightly stunned, but her tone was calm: "What are women in the workplace doing...... You're welcome. ”
