Chapter 21 "O" conjecture

April 27, 2004 Section Chief He stared at the two circles on the eyebrows of the report, puzzled for a long time, and handed the report to Deputy Section Chief Ren: "What does this mean?" Deputy Section Chief Ren looked at it and said, "I agree. This is Director Huo's habit. If you draw a circle, you agree." Chief He said: "I know that. I mean, why did he draw two circles?" "Hey, I didn't pay attention to this." Deputy Section Chief Ren said, "Did Director Huo read it twice and draw a circle to emphasize it?" Section Chief He thought for a moment and said, "Why do you have to read it twice? Could it be that you have some opinions on our report? You see, the first circle is very random, obviously drawn by hand. What about the second circle?" , it seems blunt, and the writing is slow and heavy. This shows that Director Huo's views on the report are inconsistent."

Deputy Section Chief Ren said: "Impossible, right? The opinions are inconsistent, why did Director Huo draw a circle to agree?" The two guessed all morning, but still had no solution.Back home at noon, Chief He asked his son for advice.The son is a criminal policeman, proficient in graphology. He looked at it with a magnifying glass for a while, and said: "The second circle has signs of abnormal pen movement. The writer first drew a right semicircle from top to bottom. There is a pause here, and then from bottom to top. Draw a left semicircle." Chief He asked in surprise: "Right semicircle? Could it be a question mark?"

The son said: "It's hard to say, I can only ask Director Huo himself." Chief He reprimanded: "Can I ask? The leader hates the people below who can't understand his every move." However, his son's words reminded him that when he went to work in the afternoon, he went to ask Director Huo's secretary, Xiao Nie. Xiao Nie took the report and looked at it, then said with a smile, "This circle was drawn by Chief Huo's grandson for fun." November 13, 1989
