Chapter 108 Murphy's Law (3)
Vice President Lu trusted his driver very much. Although the things recorded in that notebook were only a small part of his corruption, it was enough to ruin his reputation.Jiang Renjie was very careful in his work. He was afraid of missing anything from his boss on weekdays, so he developed a good habit of recording everything, but he never thought that he would expose his boss because of this.

But who killed the driver?It doesn't seem logical if it's just because of the notebook, which doesn't need to be murdered to get it.Or, the murderer didn't kill for the notebook at all, and the discovery of the notebook was just an accident?
This world is always full of unknowns, and it is not uncommon for small-probability events to lead to big events. This is the case when the "Sarajevo Incident" triggered the First World War.After a lot of investigation, the police had to overturn the speculation that the notebook was directly related to the driver's death, but who killed him?What is the motive for the murder?

Jiang Renjie gave the impression that he was honest and responsible. He and his wife had a daughter. Except when he was with Vice President Lu, he almost stayed at home at other times, and the possibility of enmity with others was very small.This seems to be a murder case without a motive, but if there is no motive, how can the murder be established?
Shen Yue has repeatedly studied this case, and he also finds it incredible.However, he soon discovered that whether it was Sun Hongyan's death or Jiang Renjie's death, it was an unexpected situation that gave the murderer the opportunity to attack without anyone noticing.Perhaps the murderer had been waiting for such an opportunity.However, there is another contradiction here: if the murder of Jiang Renjie was an opportunity that the murderer finally found after several follow-ups, then how to explain the murder of Sun Hongyan?You know, at that time, Sun Hongyan was probably called out because she received a call from the murderer. The murderer did not know in advance that the bus on which the deceased was riding would encounter an accident on the way. The collision at the traffic light was completely accidental.So, how did the murderer arrange it in the process of formulating the plan?

Shen Yue believes that it is still necessary to investigate the situation of the deceased. There is always a reason behind any murder case. In the absence of clues, starting from the inner world of the deceased is the only way to solve the case.The deceased had the habit of keeping a diary, and he may have left many other useful things.Unlike the way the police handle cases, they need to look for evidence on the surface, but Shen Yue always tries to find useful clues from the inner world of the deceased.

Shen Yue and Kang Ruxin found Jiang Renjie's wife. Jiang Renjie's wife was very polite. She didn't expect that the police were still investigating her husband's death two years later.When Kang Ruxin directly explained her purpose of coming, she quickly took out a stack of diaries from the back room, and said to the two of them: "A few of them were taken away by the police, and these are leftovers. Something special. He liked to keep a diary when he was alive, and he taught our children to do the same."

Kang Ruxin was silent for a moment, she found that Shen Yue was also smiling wryly.What good did Jiang Renjie's habit bring him?Why do children have to be like him?After a while, Shen Yue said to Jiang Renjie's wife, "Can we take these diaries home and read them slowly?"

Jiang Renjie's wife said: "Yes. But you must return it to me after you read it. This is what he left. I will leave these things to my children in the future."

Shen Yue asked: "Is it true that your husband never had any feud with anyone before his death?"

Jiang Renjie's wife said: "I don't think there should be any. He is used to writing everything in his diary. You can see it after reading it."

Shen Yue asked again: "Then what kind of person do you think your husband is?"

Jiang Renjie's wife replied: "He is a good husband and a good father. Although he is only a driver, he has never been inferior, and he loves his job very much."

Shen Yue looked at the house in front of him again, and asked: "He is just a driver, will his income be high? I think your house is well decorated, and you spent a lot of money, right?"

Jiang Renjie's wife's complexion suddenly became ugly, and she said, "He is the driver of the vice president of the group company. Someone wants to know his boss through him. Isn't this against the law?"

Shen Yue shrugged and said: "We don't care about such issues. Well, let's take these diaries home first, and send them back to you after reading them. Sorry to bother you."

There was faint music floating in the teahouse, it was beautiful, but Shen Yue and Kang Ruxin had no time to appreciate it, they were burying their heads in the big stack of diaries.After watching for a while, they both started yawning.Kang Ruxin said: "What kind of person is this? The diary is full of trifles."

Shen Yue said: "To be honest, this person's inner world is actually very rich. Listen to this poem written by him." Looking for youth.'”

Kang Ruxin took the diary from him, read the poem once, and said with a smile: "The poem is written so-so, but it is true that he is dissatisfied with his current situation. It seems that his wife said that he likes himself The credibility of the profession is probably going to be compromised."

Shen Yue nodded and said: "Maybe his wife doesn't understand his heart. This man joined the army because he didn't go to university, and then he learned driving skills in the army. After changing jobs, he became Lu Chengtuan's driver. According to ordinary people's thinking, it should be very satisfying to be able to find such a job after changing jobs, but he still feels that his ambitions are not fulfilled. There is such a sigh of underappreciated talent."

Kang Ruxin said: "But, what can this explain?"

Shen Yue said: "It's not completely clear yet, let's continue to read it slowly and then talk about it."

After a while, Kang Ruxin suddenly said: "This place is interesting, listen to it." I went to see Gu Gu today, and he is actually my child, but I can't get too close to him. Things started to regret. 'Who is this bulging?"

Shen Yue hurriedly took out the copy of the case file, looked at a place carefully, nodded and said: "I just remember that the child of the deceased's wife's sister is named Zhonggu. It's strange, how could his aunt's child be him? What? The wife of the deceased said that she had read these diaries, but she felt as if she still had deep feelings for her husband! How did she evaluate her husband at that time? Well, she said, 'He is a good husband, He is also a good father.' Looking at the profile of this aunt-in-law, huh? It is even more strange that he is a policeman."

The two immediately became interested, and immediately immersed themselves in carefully reading the second half of the contents of these diaries, trying to find more useful information from them.

Night fell gradually, but the two didn't realize it.After a while, Shen Yue suddenly put down the diary in his hand, and said, "I've read all the diaries here, how about you? Did you find anything?"

Kang Ruxin said: "I've almost finished reading it, it seems nothing special. What time is it? Why do you feel so hungry?"

Shen Yue said, "You really didn't find anything special in these diaries?"

Kang Ruxin asked in surprise, "What?"

Shen Yue said: "In these diaries, his boss was mentioned many times, that is, Vice President Lu. I feel that Vice President Lu has a lot of power in the company, doesn't he?"

Kang Ruxin said: "These in my hand are his diaries from several years ago. They are full of trifles and do not contain the content you mentioned. But what you said is not surprising, after all, he is the vice president of the group company. In short, the strength of this company is second only to Stone Group, so it is normal for it to have great power."

Shen Yue shook his head and said: "I don't think so. A vice president is actually in charge of the company's raw material procurement, product sales, and even a lot of personnel power. What other powers does a company have besides these? He is responsible for everything. Well, how is the power of the boss manifested?"

Kang Ruxin was stunned for a moment, and asked, "What does this have to do with Jiang Renjie's death?"

Shen Yue said: "I don't know either. Let's go, I'm hungry too."

The child named Gu Gu mentioned in Jiang Renjie's diary, whose father was a policeman, made Shen Yue directly suspect: Could it be that Jiang Renjie's death was a murder of love?Moreover, if the case was really committed by the policeman, everything seemed to be explained, including the death of the "Miss".

Kang Ruxin said: "I remember a French movie that tells the story of the police using violent means to wipe out the dregs of society, and the police's methods of committing crimes must be much better than ordinary people..."

Shen Yue waved her hand and said, "Don't jump to any conclusions. How about it, let's go ask Jiang Renjie's wife and ask her what's going on."

However, what they didn't expect at all was that Jiang Renjie's wife actually laughed when faced with this question, and said: "You guys think too much. The situation is like this, my brother-in-law is not fertile, but the relationship between him and my sister It was very deep, and they wanted a baby, so they did IVF with my man's sperm. We are a family, and there is nothing wrong with such a thing."

Shen Yue and Kang Ruxin looked at each other in blank dismay, not only because this situation was beyond their expectations, but also because this incident felt too unbelievable.After coming out of this house, the two couldn't help laughing at the same time, Shen Yue said: "This is really a field where the fat and water don't flow to outsiders."

Kang Ru couldn't help laughing, and said: "This world is so wonderful, everything will happen." Then, she immediately frowned and said: "But, what shall we do next?"

Shen Yue said: "There is no other way but to continue the investigation."

Zhong Zilai is the deputy director of a police station under the Chengnan District Public Security Bureau. Although he has heard of Shen Yue's name for a long time, this is the first time he has met him.Seeing the nervousness of the deputy director in front of him, Shen Yue said with a smile, "I should be afraid of your police. Why is Director Zhong so reserved?"

Zhong Zilai said in embarrassment: "Dr. Shen is a Sherlock Holmes-like figure, he is famous..."

Shen Yue immediately interrupted him and said, "I'm not Sherlock Holmes, and I hate fame. Director Zhong, I'm here for Jiang Renjie's case, let's start right away."

Zhong Zilai was startled, and said, "His case has been dragging on for two years, Dr. Shen has new clues?"

Shen Yue shook his head and said, "Not yet. Director Zhong, you and him are considered a family, so you should know him better. Tell me, what kind of person is he?"

Zhong Zilai was stunned again, and said: "He came back from the army. He has a military personality and is very self-disciplined. For example, he can drink a lot, but he usually forces himself not to drink because he is a driver. He has a good character. , very responsible for the family, and especially likes to help. To be honest, I can't believe that someone would murder him."

Like to help... When hearing this sentence, Shen Yue couldn't help secretly feeling a little funny.He asked again: "What about the shortcomings? It's impossible for him to have no shortcomings?"

Zhong Zilai said: "There is no one in this world without shortcomings. His shortcoming is that sometimes he has a bad temper and is particularly good-looking. In fact, this is understandable. Back then, he was only a few points short of the college entrance examination, so he had to join the army. , but he is a very ideal person, and the profession of a driver makes him feel a little aggrieved."

Shen Yue nodded and said: "That's true. But since he thinks he is very capable, why does he have to be the driver all the time?"

Zhong Zilai said: "The reason is very simple, because this company pays well, and it also drives for the vice president, so there is a lot of oil and water. In fact, many of us are like this. When we have no money, we hope that our income can be higher. When life is worry-free, you will have more thoughts. I think this is also normal."

Shen Yue smiled and said, "I can feel that you have a good relationship with him, right?"

Zhong Zilai nodded and said, "Of course, we are a family."

At this time, Shen Yue suddenly asked the most critical question: "Your child is actually Jiang Renjie's. Doesn't this affect the relationship between you and him at all?" Zhong Zilai was stunned, and then the stunned expression instantly turned into embarrassment.Shen Yue immediately explained: "This is what we learned from Jiang Renjie's diary."

Only then did Zhong Zilai understand, and he sighed and said, "Oh, I didn't know that he likes to write a diary... Yes, my child actually belongs to him. Dr. Shen, although this matter is related to our two families No one else knows, but I know you are here for the case, so I don't need to deny it in front of you. It doesn't matter who the child is, what matters is that the child has made my wife and I feel stronger , The child was raised by us, and we are the parents of the child. Moreover, Jiang Renjie also paid great attention to minimizing contact with the child during his lifetime, so this matter does not affect our friendship."

Shen Yue asked: "Why does it have to be him? Sorry, I have to ask you this question."

Zhong Zilai's expression became calm, and he replied: "At the beginning, I wanted to adopt a child in an orphanage, but my wife said she still wanted her own child. Besides, my wife is an obstetrician and gynecologist. I have a good understanding of IVF technology. Jiang Renjie is in good health, and his own child is also very cute. More importantly, we are a family, and we will not have conflicts over the child's custody in the future. Maybe you all understand my situation. In that case it was my best option."

Although Shen Yue could understand what he said, he still felt a little weird in his heart, not because of anything else, but because he felt that the delicate relationship between the two families was too peculiar.He nodded and said, "Don't worry, we will keep this matter a secret. By the way, just now you said that Jiang Renjie's temper is not very good. What is the specific manifestation?"

Zhong Zilai said: "It's just that sometimes I get angry for no reason."

Shen Yue raised his eyebrows and asked, "Oh? Then will he beat his children and wife when he gets angry?"

Zhong Zilai shook his head and said: "That's not true, but he sometimes behaves aggressively outside. Once when I was drinking with him outside, a person at the next table bumped into him because he didn't I apologized to him, but he overturned the table in one fell swoop. If I hadn't revealed my identity as a policeman, maybe there would have been a fight. Another time, someone touched his car, and that person's temper It's not very good. I probably encountered it by accident, so I didn't figure out the situation, so I scolded Jiang Renjie, and in the end, he drove a car towards that person in a rage. Of course, he didn't really want to I wanted to hit that person, just to scare him, and after accelerating, I slammed on the brakes and stopped in front of that person. I was also in his car at the time, and I criticized him."

Shen Yue looked at him and asked, "Actually, you understand him. His violent temper is due to his frustration. Right?"

Zhong Zilai nodded and said: "Yes. I know he is depressed, so he can't help losing his temper from time to time. I also often persuade him, and even encourage him to take the civil service exam. He has worked hard, but he failed the written exam. But generally speaking, he is still very good, after all, his income is high. His house was bought with full money, and he is not too bad among his peers."

Shen Yue has been watching the other person's expression, and found that what he said is the truth, and then asked: "You are a policeman, what do you personally think his death might be related to?"
