Shen Yijin was surprised: "He actually said that? If he hadn't taken the initiative to ask me for fortune-telling, I wouldn't even know who he is."
Xu Tingyin didn't believe it: "If you didn't know Xia Nanke before, how did you know Xia Nanke's address? And you even called 120 in advance."
"Of course I calculated it. I accepted his fortune-telling fee, so it's reasonable for me to kindly call an ambulance for him." Chen Yijin answered truthfully without any panic.
Meng Ping couldn't bear it any longer. He raised his hand to stop Xu Tingyin and planned to take the fight himself: "Chen Yijin, I advise you to tell the truth. Live fortune-telling is not your protection. On the contrary, if you insist on spreading feudal superstitions online, you will be convicted as well."
Chen Yijin looked at Meng Ping innocently: "Uncle police, I am telling the truth. I am really telling people's fortunes, I am not lying."
Xu Tingyin had been observing Chen Yijin. She couldn't help but lean over to Meng Ping's ear and whisper, "Captain, Chen Yijin looks really innocent. Did we misunderstand her?"
Meng Ping glared at her and whispered back, "Even if it has nothing to do with Xia Nanke's case, it's true that she spread feudal superstition. Don't be fooled by her appearance. Remember, we police officers only rely on evidence and facts. We never make judgments based on our feelings."
Xu Tingyin knew that she had said something wrong, so she shut her mouth and stopped talking.
Shen Yijin was a cultivator, and she could hear the conversation between Xu Tingyin and Meng Ping clearly.
Knowing that they were investigating Shanan Ke, she didn't mind providing some clues.
"Xia Nanke choked on his own saliva and suffocated. No matter how you look at it, it was all carelessness on his part and had nothing to do with me or anyone else. But there's evidence online that he acted as a keyboard warrior and incited public opinion to cause his girlfriend's suicide. Aren't you more likely to be looking for evidence online to convict him than someone like me who's innocent?"
Meng Ping didn't expect Shen Yijin to say this. He put on a professional smile and said, "Miss Shen, you don't need to worry about this. Just cooperate with our investigation."
Shen Yijin nodded obediently: "I have been actively cooperating with the investigation."
Meng Ping was so angry that he almost couldn't control his expression. He fell silent and the person asking questions returned to Xu Tingyin.
Xu Tingyin knew she couldn't get any more information about Xia Nanke, so she changed the subject. "The livestreaming platform reported you to the police for illegally withdrawing 1,000 yuan from the platform. They suspect you've hacked into their system and stolen money before. What did you do after your livestream was shut down? How did you withdraw that 1,000 yuan?"
Chen Yijin was confused: "I just ordered a withdrawal from the backstage. Is it illegal to earn money through live streaming? As for what I did, it was four in the morning. Of course I went to sleep. Didn't you see me sleeping?"
If the police came to her because of Xia Nanke's matter, Shen Yijin could understand it, but the charge of hacking into the live broadcast platform system was really unfair to her.
Meng Ping felt that Shen Yijin was very good at acting and could fool any problem with just a few words.
He slammed the table hard, calling Chen Yijin's attention to himself. "Still trying to quibble! The live streaming platform doesn't have any data on your live streaming earnings, only a withdrawal record. Furthermore, the money was transferred directly to your account without any audit or tax deduction. You must have done something wrong."
"Your Majesty, I'm more wronged than Dou E!" Chen Yijin felt she couldn't explain herself to the police. "There are consequences for fortune-telling. The lack of tax deductions is probably because Heaven is afraid that the beneficiaries of the livestreaming platform will have to bear the consequences, so they exempted me. But don't worry, I'll make up for it later with donations."
Meng Ping didn't believe a single word Shen Yijin said. Shen Yijin was extremely helpless: "There should be some special department in our country, right? Why don't you ask the higher-ups? What I said is true. Any cultivator can understand these things."
Meng Ping felt that Chen Yijin was mocking him in disguise for not understanding what people were saying. He snorted coldly, "Chen Yijin, don't play tricks in front of the police. Tell us everything quickly. This will be good for both you and me."
Chen Yijin sighed: "Everything I said is true, but you just don't believe it. How about this, I will tell you a fortune. If I tell you right, it proves that I am not a liar. Don't worry, you are not allowed to ask for money."
Meng Ping laughed out of anger. It would have been fine if Chen Yijin had honestly confessed his crimes, but he actually wanted to tell his fortune and even tried to cheat the police out of their money. Wasn't this just walking into trouble?
It has been made clear to this extent. Shen Yijin has to admit the crime of spreading feudal superstition today even if he doesn't want to.
Meng Ping felt that there was no need to continue the interrogation. What Shen Yijin had just said was enough to convict her.
He planned to leave and interrogate Xia Nanke again.
As soon as she stood up, Shen Yijin began to talk about the hexagram she had calculated for Meng Ping.
"Ten minutes later, you will receive a call from your wife. Your son has disappeared from school, and the teacher has searched the entire school but can't find him. Your wife wants you to help find your son. But your son is not missing. He has been locked up in an abandoned warehouse."
Xu Tingyin was stunned: "Didn't Captain Meng get divorced a long time ago? How come he still has a wife and son?"
Meng Ping sat down again with a complicated expression.
He was usually too busy with work and it was common for him to only go home once every few days. His wife couldn't stand it and divorced him more than ten years ago.
Although they are divorced, in his heart, she is still his wife.
Not long after the divorce, his wife found out that she was pregnant, but she didn't tell him and gave birth to the child alone.
By the time he found out his wife had given birth to a child, his son was already in elementary school.
Since his wife didn't want to get back together with him, he quietly took care of her and her child, and secretly bought them some daily necessities.
Few people knew about this, and he hadn't told anyone except his parents on both sides.
Meng Ping shouldn't have believed Shen Yijin, but she even knew that she had a son. If his son got into trouble at school...
Meng Ping didn't dare to gamble with his son. He had already felt sorry for the mother and daughter. If something happened to his son again, he would regret it for the rest of his life.
"Where is the abandoned warehouse? Who locked him up?" Although he had not yet received a call from his wife, Meng Ping had already assumed that what Shen Yijin said was true.
Xu Tingyin covered her mouth in surprise: "Captain Meng, do you really have a son?"
Meng Ping ignored Xu Tingyin, his eyes fixed on Shen Yijin, waiting for her answer.
Chen Yijin didn't keep the secret. "The third room on the east side of the school playground is always locked, so teachers won't go looking for it specifically. The warehouse was a simple shed built with iron sheets, and it was very stuffy inside. Your son suffered a heat stroke and passed out. Your deskmate is an accomplice, and the key to the warehouse is in his hands now."
As soon as Shen Yijin finished speaking, Meng Ping's phone rang.
When Meng Ping saw that the caller was his "wife", the last bit of hope in his heart was shattered.
"Old Meng, it's bad, Kaikai is missing! I can't find him anywhere, you..."
Something really happened to his son.
