When Wenjie returned home, he had just cooked a pot of porridge.

After seeing the system's message about task failure, I lost my appetite for that pot of porridge.

He quickly searched the news of the past two days on his mobile phone. Unexpectedly, the headline on the M City News Network app was about the report of committing suicide by jumping into the lake.

An ordinary woman jumping into a river would definitely not make the headlines, let alone the news portal of M city.

It seems that this woman has some background. Wenjie quickly browsed the report at a glance, thinking about it in his heart.

At 19:35 on June 21, 2019, a suicide by jumping into the lake occurred in the artificial lake of Canal Wetland Park in our city.

It is reported that the identity of the woman who committed suicide by jumping into the river has been identified. She is Ms. Qin Fen, the current deputy minister of education in our city. Due to the darkness, rescue was not done in time. Ms. Qin Fen unfortunately drowned and died. She is now 38 years old. (M City News Network)

In fact, from the woman's excellent temperament and charm, plus the fact that she and Wang Ju had dinner together that day, and looked like equals... Wenjie guessed most of it.

The truth still shocked Wenjie: she turned out to be the deputy minister of education in M ​​city.

No wonder she had a calm look on her body. Even though she was extremely weak after drowning, she still had the composure to control the situation.

That is the confidence that comes from being familiar with the art of reading people and knowing how to deal with the world.

Thinking of this, Wenjie slammed the lid of the rice cooker and murmured: How could such a talented and beautiful woman commit suicide?

Or choose to commit suicide by jumping into the lake?

You must know that people who die from drowning have their hair stuck to their heads and their faces are pale. If the recovery of the body does not go smoothly...

Ugh...just thinking about it makes me sick to my stomach.

Does a naturally beautiful person like her have no worries about her appearance?

What makes Wenjie puzzled is that this deputy minister must jump into the artificial lake of the Canal Wetland Park.

Wenjie saved her once in the afternoon, and she sent Wenjie away, then ran to the artificial lake and jumped into the lake to commit suicide.

If you must commit suicide, there are many ways to commit suicide. Taking sleeping pills will look better than jumping into a lake to die.

Wenjie opened Baidu Maps and searched for the distance between the hospital and the artificial lake: eight kilometers.

It's not that close. There are two or three parks next to the hospital that are closer than this. Two of them have artificial lakes.

How much easier would it be to jump closer?

Wenjie began to search for news reports about Qin Fen on the Internet, and soon had a general understanding of her basic situation and career advancement.

Her lover is Liang Bin, a professor at M University. The two have been married for 15 years and have a pair of children, a 14-year-old daughter and a 10-year-old son.

There are also reports on the Internet that the two of them participated in overseas training together. It seems that the two of them have matching looks and equal talents. Their children are also smart and well-behaved. The family should be very happy.

M University Professor Liang Bin? Wenjie recalled that he had never taken Professor Liang’s class, but he seemed to have attended one of Professor Liang Bin’s sharing sessions.

At that time, Professor Liang Bin went to Beijing to attend the National People's Congress on behalf of City M. After the meeting, he returned to City M. The school organized a special sharing session for Professor Liang to share his experience in attending the National People's Congress.

Wenjie was only a freshman at that time. It had been three or four years since then, and he didn't have much of an impression of Professor Liang. Looking back, I just thought he was an elegant bachelor, a bit like an old scholar, rigorous in his studies, and with a pragmatic style of study.

There are also reports that Professor Liang Bin was deeply saddened by the news of his wife's death, and even wrote a long article "My Wife, a Lifelong Friend" to bid farewell to his wife with tears.

It doesn't seem like a suicide caused by a broken relationship. Could it be a career issue?

Wenjie also searched Qin Fen's deeds in the education system over the years and found that after graduating from normal school, Qin Fen was assigned to teach at the No. 6 Middle School in M ​​City. One year later, she was promoted to grade leader, and three years later, she was promoted to director of the teaching department.

Five years later, I became the principal and was transferred by the Ministry of Education. I also had a smooth career in the Ministry of Education. In my seventh year of serving in the Ministry of Education, I was nominated as the Deputy Minister of Education at the end of last year.

Wow! How can someone be so good even if they eat white rice every day?

I also increasingly don’t understand why such an outstanding and promising strong woman would choose to commit suicide when she was in the spotlight.

Stress from work?

It's impossible, and it's not like you're entering the education system on your first day. To be able to reach the position of Deputy Ministry of Education, you must be a person who has both ability and means, is versatile, and has both sides.

A phone ringing interrupted Wenjie's thoughts.

The call came from Officer Cao of the Eastern District Police Station. He informed Wenjie that his lost laptop was found at a second-hand computer purchase point near his home community.

If he is free, ask him to go to the police station with his ID card to get it.

After hanging up the phone, Wenjie touched the back of his head, which was still swollen.

The people under the old tree are really ruthless.

He vaguely felt that the person who stole the computer was inextricably linked to the soul patch system.

He glanced at his phone: half past seven. He calculated in his mind that if he took a taxi, he would arrive at the Eastern District Police Station in twenty minutes, which would be less than eight o'clock.

Half an hour later, the Eastern District Police Station.

Wenjie met Officer Cao as soon as he arrived at the police hall.

Officer Cao didn't expect Wenjie to arrive right after he hung up the phone. He was a little surprised: "Mr. Wen, you are really fast. Actually, you don't have to come here to get it at night. You can come back any time you are free."

"Officer Cao, can you tell me how you found the computer?" Wenjie ignored Officer Cao's polite words and went straight to the point.

"Oh, our colleagues from another team were working on a case, and happened to see this one while searching for the murderer's computer.

We compared it and found that it was exactly the same as the lost laptop you described, so we turned it on and verified that it was indeed your computer."

"Huh? How do you know for sure? Don't all the second-hand computers you collect have to be reinstalled, refurbished and then sold through channels?" Wenjie was a little confused.

"This is normal, but the store owner said that this machine was no longer worth modifying, so he just had to wait for the parts to be dismantled. As a result, after leaving it in the store for two days, no similar model was reported for repair, so he just left it untouched."

After Officer Cao finished speaking, he smiled at Wenjie, which made Wenjie feel a little embarrassed.

It’s no wonder that electronic products are updated so fast. People now use new models from brands such as Apple and Huawei.

There are people who use old laptops, but if they get worn out, they don’t necessarily have to spend money to repair them, and they might just be discarded.

My notebook won't come in handy if I leave it for two days, it probably won't come in handy if I leave it for a month.

Wenjie went through the collection procedures with Officer Cao and got the notebook smoothly.

He held the laptop with one hand and touched the sticker on the lower right corner of the laptop with the other hand.

Yes, that was the computer he lost.

That post was a spoof of college roommates. Among the four people in the dormitory, three of them except him had girlfriends.

Seeing that he was always holding the computer every day, the dormitory manager casually put a sticker of a celebrity in a swimsuit on it.

Several other people followed suit: "The notebook is your girlfriend."

"Yeah, there are a lot of videos in there! High-definition and uncensored."

"Ha ha"

After a few years, the stickers have long since fallen off, leaving only the yellowed offset.

Wenjie stared at the sticker mark and was in a daze for a moment. He looked at Officer Cao in front of him and said quickly:

"Thank you, Officer Cao, for your hard work and helping me find the notebook so quickly."

After a slight pause, he asked, "Do you know who stole the notebook now? Is it the middle-aged uncle who blew up the phone?"

"I'm not sure about this yet. I asked the store owner who sold the computers in his store, and he said he didn't know."

"have no idea?"

"Yes, that's what happened. Yesterday morning, that is, June 21, the notebook was in the store.

He and his son took turns looking at the store. On the night of June 20, it was his son who took care of the store. He thought it was his son who took the goods.

But when my son asked him when he was changing shifts at noon, he found out that his son had not taken the computer yesterday."

"It's equivalent to saying that someone put this computer in his store for monitoring purposes? Are there any valuable clues?"

"No, it's the Lianhua Department Store on the basement floor. That market is about to be demolished, and the surveillance system has been broken for a long time and no one has repaired it." Officer Cao shrugged after finishing speaking, with a helpless expression.

Wenjie couldn't help but nodded when he heard this, but he was thinking: If it was a murder case, the criminal investigation team wouldn't have such a casual attitude!

It's no wonder that the police didn't need to use police force on a worthless laptop. It is estimated that if this computer was not accidentally found while investigating another case, it would not be possible to find it again.

"Okay, no matter what, I have to thank Officer Cao!" Wenjie thanked him politely, then turned and left the Eastern District Police Station.

By the time Wenjie returned home with his notebook, it was already past eight-thirty. On his way back, he bought two dishes from the convenience bee downstairs, spicy hotpot and sweet and sour pork.

After a trip to the police station and an hour of fussing around, when he got home he felt like his chest was pressed against his back and he was extremely hungry.

When I got home, the porridge that had been kept warm in the rice cooker became soft, sticky and smelled delicious.

He filled a large bowl and devoured the spicy hotpot and sweet and sour pork.

Among supermarket chains, he likes convenience bee and venel eleven the most, stores that sell hot food.

As soon as you enter the door, the aroma of food is wafting, and the strong smell of fireworks is much more attractive than those cold plastic-wrapped foods.

The convenience bee downstairs makes delicious sauced pork buns, spicy cuttlefish balls, and oden. The various set meals in the store, which are changed every day, are even more suitable for Wenjie's appetite.

Isn't that right? In no time, both dishes were finished. He stared at the empty lunch box, feeling unsatisfied.

After eating, he remembered the computer he had just brought back, plugged in the power cord and turned it on.

Seeing the familiar computer desktop reappear in front of me, I felt a long-lost sense of intimacy.

After I went to M University to attend college, I could only go home during the winter and summer vacations to spend time with my mother. It turned out that I spent the longest time with my mother, but since I started college, this computer has spent the longest time with me.

This computer is more like an old buddy. During countless long lonely nights, this old buddy read with me.

He clicked on the information on drive D, drive E, and drive F, and there were no shortage of adult movies, which made him feel at ease.

After turning off the disk and looking at the desktop again, he suddenly discovered that there was an extra file on the desktop.
