Chapter 381 Abnormality

The facts of Wang Yong’s alcohol poisoning case are quite simple. It was nothing more than a man named Wang Yong who drank so much one day that he fell unconscious and died at home. His wife, who had returned to her parents' home, had been unable to contact him and was worried that something might happen to him. She hurriedly returned home and found that Wang Yong had already fallen cold and had died a long time ago.

It turned out that this was a case where there was nothing wrong with it. Wang Yong himself has a bad habit of drinking. Although he has curbed it recently due to the intervention of his wife, he has a criminal record after all. He initiated this drinking party himself, as the four drinking buddies can attest.

The four drinking buddies plus Wang Yong made a total of five people, and the five drank a total of five bottles of liquor. After drinking, the four of them said goodbye. Who would have thought that Wang Yong opened another bottle of wine by himself, drank a bottle of wine, and then it went cold.

Wang Yong has already been cremated at this moment. Faced with the hard facts, the family members had no choice but to accept the loss of their loved one.

What was originally such an ordinary and normal thing became extraordinary because it appeared in the dream of an unrelated person thousands of miles away.

Several members of the second operation team suspected that this was also a "trap" that was arranged in advance by someone or some force.

"Let's review this case again."

In the online conference room, even on the road, Lu Ming and He Wei were still discussing.

"First of all, Wang Yong likes to drink, and he has gotten into trouble many times because of drinking. Moreover, this person is not a good drinker. He often makes troubles when he is drunk. He once had a record of making unprovoked provocations after being drunk and was eventually detained. His wife also almost made trouble with him. It got to the point of divorce.

Under the joint pressure of his family elders and his wife, Wang Yong has restrained himself a lot in recent years. The frequency of drinking has dropped significantly, and he only drinks half a catty at most every time he drinks.

The information Hu Shan dreamed about Wang Yong was that he "died while drunk". So, to achieve this goal, there must be several prerequisites.

One, there must be a chance to drink. Fortunately, his wife recently decided to take the child back to her parents' home for two days, which created an opportunity for him.

Second, Wang Yong must have a motive for drinking. Although he likes to drink, his wife gave him a serious warning before leaving. Judging from his character, he would not be so presumptuous if he only had the opportunity to drink. Even if I drink, I only drink a little secretly, not so much. Coincidentally, Wang Yong recently negotiated an unexpected business deal - according to his colleagues, this business originally had no hope.

Because of this business, he received a bonus of 30,000 yuan. Wang Yong comes from an ordinary family and suddenly received 30,000 yuan. This is something worth celebrating. So he had the motive to drink.

Third, self-indulgence.

Even if you have the opportunity and motivation, gathering a few drinking buddies and drinking a pound of liquor each can be considered an overdose. Wang Yong must have his own indulgence to drink another bottle alone after his drinking companion left.

These are three key points. "

On the car, He Wei was driving, and Lu Ming was sitting next to him, holding a laptop in his hand, typing away at it, and mumbling something.

"If this incident is indeed planned by someone, and if the planner is me, in order to achieve the purpose of 'Wang Yong died drunkenly', after collecting the corresponding character information in the early stage, I will start from these three people to promote the development of the incident. It's very reasonable.

First, he manipulated Wang Yong's wife to make her decide to return to her parents' home, creating opportunities for Wang Yong. Secondly, he manipulated the customer so that Wang Yong would get the reward and have the motive to drink. Finally, after Wang Yong drank a bottle of liquor, Wang Yong was manipulated into making the decision to drink another bottle.

In this way, the director completes this ‘scene’. "

He Wei interjected while driving: "This is not safe enough. How can the operator be sure that Wang Yong will die after drinking two bottles? Maybe he is just fragmented and can recover on his own."

Lu Ming thought for a while and spread his hands: "If the manipulator can comprehensively collect the target person's information and manipulate the target person's behavior, then we have reason to believe that the manipulator has the ability to comprehensively assess Wang Yong's physical condition. . In other words, he knew that drinking two bottles would make Wang Yong drunk to death."

He Wei turned on the turn signal, passed the car in front of her smoothly and smoothly, returned to the original lane, and then said: "I noticed that whether it is Hu Shan's case or this Wang Yong's case, under normal circumstances, , in fact, there is no way to distinguish it from normal cases."

"Yes, indeed."

Lu Ming nodded: "No one can tell clearly whether choosing one of them and abandoning the other among a choice that can be made by one's left or right is one's own independent decision, or whether it is due to the influence of the outside world and the influence of a certain person. Manipulation by unknown entities. But under these manipulations one after another, the development of things was finally directed towards the preset goal."

Just like the Wang Yong case. His wife chose to go back to her parents' home during these few days instead of the rest of the time. From her perspective, this was a completely independent choice. Whether the customer chooses to close the business must be his own choice.

But based on the clues since the investigation of the case began, Lu Ming began to suspect that it was not their independent choice, but manipulation.

But how to distinguish between the two?

There is absolutely no way to tell the difference.

"The ability of the perpetrator behind the scenes is really terrifying." He Wei looked at the road ahead and whispered: "If your speculation is true, if the perpetrator behind the scenes really has this ability , then, I wonder if they can manipulate us?"

Lu Ming frowned, and then his whole body shook slightly.

This is indeed a possibility! If he can manipulate his victims, why can't he manipulate himself? After all, I am just an ordinary person in terms of physical structure.

"Perhaps we choose to drive at this moment instead of waiting for tomorrow's plane or train. We choose to drive on the expressway instead of the national highway. At this moment I choose to overtake instead of waiting... Is it possible that all of this is also due to the manipulation of external forces? "

Lu Ming felt a chill slowly envelope him. After a long time, he took a long breath.

"This possibility does exist. From now on, we must be more vigilant. And we must pay attention to each other. If we find anything abnormal, we must report it immediately."

"I see."

He Wei nodded seriously.

Late at night, the two arrived in another city. They randomly found a hotel to stay and rest. The next day, the two of them came to the local security bureau and received assistance from the local security bureau.

Under the leadership of the local security officer, the two retrieved all the files and related records of Wang Yong's death from alcohol poisoning. As expected, the two did not find any valuable information from the dossier.

It seems that we still have to follow the previous investigation method and start from scratch.

Among the three key figures, the person involved, Wang Yong, is dead. The client and Wang Yong's wife are still alive. The two commanded the local security officers to collect all the information that could be found at the beginning to see if any suspicious persons had approached or appeared around the two of them.

The information analysis team started investigating the information leak again.

Lu Ming originally planned to divide his troops into two groups as he did when he investigated Hu Shan. He Wei was still responsible for information collection, while He Wei investigated whether any suspicious persons were approaching these key figures during this period.

But He Wei said: "Wang Yong's matter is not complicated. I think there is no need to divide the troops into two groups. Let's investigate together and avoid omissions."

Lu Ming thought for a moment and said, "That's fine."

The first thing to do was to inquire about the surveillance records of these three key figures before Wang Yong's death. Not only did the local security officers visit around under orders, He Wei and Lu Ming were not idle either and directly joined in the investigation.

Today, just after completing the investigation of the customer's activity trajectory, Lu Ming suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach.

There was a dull pain coming from his stomach, which made him frown.

"What’s wrong with you?"

He Wei looked at him with concern.

Lu Ming rubbed his stomach gently: "It's okay, my stomach hurts a little. It should be because I haven't had a good rest or eaten properly in the past few days."

He didn't take this matter to heart. It's just an occasional stomachache that goes away after a while, so it's really not a big deal.

At night, Lu Ming stayed in the conference room and continued to look through the information obtained during the day, sorting it out and thinking about it.

The conference room door was opened, he turned around and saw He Wei walking over carrying several food boxes.

"You haven't eaten yet? I bought you some food. Eat it quickly."

Seeing the food, Lu Ming really felt a little hungry. After taking the lunch box and opening the bag, I saw a few pancakes, three light stir-fries, and two bowls of light porridge inside.

"You said you had an upset stomach during the day, so I bought something light and easy to digest."

Lu Ming felt a little moved: "Thank you. Come on, let's eat."

The two of them ate their dinner directly at the table in the conference room, and then devoted themselves to analyzing the data again.

Early the next morning, Lu Ming was still asleep when he was woken up by a phone ringing.

Lu Ming's sleep has always been irregular. Sometimes he goes to bed late at night and doesn't even wake up until nine in the morning. There is no rush for Wang Yong's investigation. Lu Ming still plans to sleep in today.

But it was just before eight o'clock when the phone call came. Lu Ming was shocked when he saw it was He Wei calling.

Something happened?

She answered the call solemnly and heard He Wei say on the phone: "Are you awake? Get up and have breakfast."

"That's it?" Lu Ming was a bit dumbfounded: "I still want to sleep a little longer."

"Don't sleep! Eating irregularly is bad for your stomach."

"Fine."

Lu Ming responded angrily. Anyway, I'm awake now and can't sleep, so I might as well get up.

After having breakfast with He Wei, the two went out together again to continue yesterday's investigation.

I don't know why, but today, Lu Ming always felt that something was wrong with He Wei, something was abnormal. Several times, Lu Ming felt He Wei looking at him from the corner of his eye. But when he turned around, he saw He Wei looking intently.

Sometimes I still feel that He Wei is a little absent-minded, as if she has something on her mind. Although it is not to the point of delaying the investigation, communication is always not so smooth.

This gradually made Lu Ming feel a little strange.

In the evening, today's investigation ended - as expected, nothing was found again. He Wei suddenly said: "Wang Yong's matter will be settled tomorrow and it will be fine. There is nothing to do in the evening. Let's try some delicious food." go?"

Lu Ming was a little funny: "In this situation, no matter how much delicious food I eat, I can't figure out where the breakthrough is."

"What are you thinking about? You just want to eat something delicious."

"You can go by yourself. I will sort out the information and sort it out tonight."

"It's so boring for me to be alone. Let's go, let's be a companion."

Lu Ming thought for a while: "That's okay."

In the evening, at the appointed time, Lu Ming walked out of his room and knocked on He Wei's door. When the door opened, Lu Ming felt his eyes dazzled, and he suddenly saw a fresh and beautiful urban beauty standing in front of him. If you look closely, it's not who He Wei is.

She was wearing casual clothes, jeans, and white shoes. She didn't look like the dashing, heroic and courageous investigator of the Second Action Team in the past, but more like an urban white-collar worker.

Lu Ming was a little frightened: "You even sprayed perfume!"

He Wei rolled her eyes at him: "What's wrong with wearing perfume? I like it! Let's go."

A huge sense of contrast and absurdity enveloped Lu Ming's body, making him a little stiff and at a loss. He Wei stepped forward and took Lu Ming's arm affectionately. Lu Ming stiffly opened his legs and walked forward together.

He Wei seemed to be in high spirits, chatting with Lu Ming in high spirits all the way. Lu Ming was a little cautious and replied stiffly.

A meal that tastes like nothing. After eating, He Wei looked at the time, then looked at the posters outside, and said happily: "Lu Ming, there is a good movie coming out! It's still early, let's go see it."

"Oh...ah? Watching a movie?"

"Yes, a science fiction movie, a blockbuster movie! Let's go, let's go."

He Wei couldn't help but pull Lu Ming towards the cinema. Lu Ming had the courage to follow. When they arrived at the cinema, He Wei bought drinks and popcorn, and sat in the theater seats with Lu Ming.

The movie is wonderful and the plot is very engaging. He Wei watched with great interest, but Lu Ming was filled with anxiety.

It's not normal, it's really too abnormal.

From the beginning of the business trip to investigate Wang Yong, He Wei was not normal.

Thinking carefully about the experiences of the past two days, Lu Ming became more and more certain of this.

Suddenly, Lu Ming recalled something.

On the way to this city, He Wei once made a guess.

"If the perpetrators hidden behind the scenes can control Hu Shan, Wang Yong and others, is it possible that those perpetrators can also control their own actions?"

Lu Ming's pupils narrowed. He subconsciously glanced at He Wei next to him, and smelled the faint scent of perfume on He Wei's body, and his heart gradually sank.
