Chapter 5 Being Invited for Tea
Shen Yijin was surprised: "He actually said that? If he hadn't asked me to tell his fortune, I wouldn't even know who he was."
Xu Tingyin didn't believe it: "If you didn't know Xia Nanke before, how did you know Xia Nanke's address? And you called 120 in advance."
"Of course it was calculated. I took his money for fortune-telling, so it's reasonable for me to kindly call an ambulance for him." Chen Yijin answered truthfully without any panic.
Meng Ping couldn't listen any longer, he raised his hand to stop Xu Tingyin, and planned to go into battle himself: "Chen Yijin, I advise you to tell the truth. Live fortune-telling is not your umbrella. On the contrary, if you insist on spreading feudal superstitions on the Internet, you will be convicted."
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, and couldn't help but whisper in Meng Ping's ear: "Captain, Chen Yijin seems to be 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 is a fact that she spread feudal superstition. Don't be fooled by her appearance. Remember, we police only rely on evidence and facts, and we never judge cases based on feelings."
Xu Tingyin realized 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 his own carelessness. It had nothing to do with me or anyone else. But he was a keyboard warrior and instigated public opinion to cause his girlfriend to commit suicide. There is evidence on the Internet. Aren't you more likely to find evidence online to convict him than an innocent person like me?"
Meng Ping didn’t expect Shen Yijin to say this, he put on a professional smile on his face: “Miss Shen, you don’t have 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 the question changed back to Xu Tingyin.
Xu Tingyin knew that she couldn't get any more information about Xia Nanke, so she could only change the topic and continue asking: "The live broadcast platform reported that you used improper means to withdraw 1,000 yuan from the platform. They suspected that you had hacked into their system and had stolen money before. What did you do after the live broadcast room was blocked? How did you withdraw the 1,000 yuan?"
Chen Yijin was confused: "I just ordered the withdrawal from the backstage. Is it illegal to earn money through live streaming? As for what I did, it was four o'clock 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 still 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, asking Shen Yijin to focus on him: "You are still quibbling! The live broadcast platform does not have relevant data on your live broadcast income, only a withdrawal record, and the money was directly transferred to your account without review or tax deduction. You must have done something."
"My Lord, I am more wronged than Dou E!" Chen Yijin felt that she couldn't explain it to the police. "You have to bear the consequences of fortune-telling for others. The reason why they didn't deduct taxes may be that they are afraid that the beneficiaries of the live broadcast platform will have to bear the consequences, so they exempted me from it. But don't worry, I will make up for it in the form of donations later."
Meng Ping didn't believe a word of what Shen Yijin said. Shen Yijin was 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'll tell you a fortune. If I'm right, it proves that I'm not a liar. Don't worry, you can't 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 interrogate her further, as 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 couldn'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 divorce a long time ago? How come he still has a wife and son?"
Meng Ping sat down again with a complicated expression.
He was 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.
Meng Ping shouldn't have believed Shen Yijin, but she even knew that she had a son, so what happened to his son at school...
Meng Ping didn't dare to gamble with his own 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 and stared at Shen Yijin, waiting for her answer.
Chen Yijin didn't keep the secret: "The third room on the east side of the school playground, this warehouse is always locked, and the teacher won't go there on purpose. The warehouse was a simple house built with iron sheets, and it was very stuffy inside. Your son had heatstroke and fell into a coma. The deskmate is an accomplice, and the key to the warehouse is in his hand 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.
"Meng, it's bad. Kaikai is missing! I can't find him anywhere. You..."
Something really happened to his son.
