Chapter 240 Police Officer's Suspect
The person who came was a girl wearing a mask and looked young. She seemed to not want to be recognized, so she not only wore a mask but also a large fisherman's hat.
Wei Yunjun poured a cup of warm water, placed it next to her hand, sat beside her and smiled at her.
Wei Yunjun introduced her: "Don't be nervous, my last name is Wei, this is our captain Qiu Huo, and this is Captain Jiang, Jiang Yun."
Qiu Huo and Jiang Yun sat down, Jiang Yun sat right in front of the girl and Qiu Huo sat on the side.
This position was also arranged. If facing a criminal, Qiu Huo would sit in the center of the other party's line of sight, but this was a citizen who came to provide clues, and Qiu Huo did not want to scare him.
"Miss, thank you for coming to the Public Security Bureau to provide clues. You said you know who the murderer Xiao Xia might be. Can you tell us the details?"
Jiang Yun gives people a friendly and gentle feeling, which makes it easy for people to let down their guard.
The girl nodded and took off her mask.
It was not a disfigured face, but rather a very pretty one. She was not wearing any makeup and looked a little haggard, her eyes were a little cloudy and had some red bloodshot, as if she had not had a good rest for a long time.
"Hello, police officer. My name is Lu Qiaoqing. I saw the suspect's characteristics you posted online. They look very similar to someone I once knew. That person was my junior high school classmate. Her name was Xia Chi."
As soon as this name came out, Qiu Huo and the others were all shocked and looked at Lu Qiaoqing more attentively.
Lu Qiaoqing lowered her head and didn't notice their gazes. She continued, "We were in the same class in the first grade of junior high school. She dropped out of school in the third grade. We didn't meet again after that. But we met again because of something more than two years ago. She was about this height. She liked to call herself 'Xiao Xia', and she liked to pretend to be a man to deceive people."
Lu Qiaoqing raised her head abruptly and said emphatically: "She is a pure psychopath!"
"The clues you provided are very important. What did the other party do to make this judgment?"
Jiang Yun agreed with Lu Qiaoqing's words in an affirmative tone, guiding her to continue speaking, his eyes full of encouragement.
Her guess was confirmed, and Lu Qiaoqing relaxed a little, as if she was lost in her memories.
"My relationship with her is not very good. In my eyes, she is a very annoying person. She didn't actually do anything, but she gave people a very disgusting feeling. She was like a transparent person in the class, spying on everyone. Sometimes when I was joking with others, I would turn around and see her looking at me, or observing others. It was very annoying. It felt like a bunch of bugs gathered together, making people want to vomit."
"So I...will teach her a lesson once in a while, just as a warning."
Lu Qiaoqing lowered her head again and even lowered her voice.
She spoke faster, "But she didn't drop out of school because of me. I didn't care about her at all afterwards, and I never bothered her."
Even though Lu Qiaoqing vaguely passed over this past incident and unconsciously defended herself in her words, Qiu Huo and the others could guess what it was about. They disliked this kind of school bullying, and it was very likely that this was part of the cause of the murderer's distorted psychology. However, they just looked serious and did not criticize him at this time.
"After that, I went to high school. One day, she suddenly added me, but I didn't know it was her..." Lu Qiaoqing snapped her fingers, obviously a little uncomfortable with this past. "She was very nice to me and bought me a lot of things. One day during the holiday, she asked me to go to a hotel."
Wei Yunjun was a little confused. She felt that this direction was not good.
"When I went in, I didn't realize it was her at first. She was dressed like a boy and had very short hair, so I chatted with her... She asked me to take a shower first. When I came out of the bathroom, I found that she was taking pictures of me with her mobile phone."
"I was very angry and panicked at the time, so I went up to grab her phone. She didn't hide, but just smiled at me and told me she was Xia Chi."
The situation back then was far from as peaceful as Lu Qiaoqing described. Lu Qiaoqing still remembered the feeling of blood rushing to her head when she saw the camera. She rushed forward but was kicked away by Xia Chi. She looked down at her with contempt in her eyes.
——Lu Qiaoqing, you are such a bitch. You came out as soon as I paid you for an appointment. If you move again, my hands will shake and I will send the photos to the campus group.
——After not seeing you for so long, you don’t recognize me anymore?
Lu Qiaoqing pinched her palm and continued, "Then she threatened me, humiliated me constantly, and asked me to lick her shoes. I knew it was her revenge, but I didn't dare to resist because I was afraid she would spread the photos."
The truth is not entirely like this. Xia Chi did not threaten her with the photos. She took out a stack of money.
The pink banknotes fluttered and fell in the air like a rain of flowers.
Lu Qiaoqing knew that this was a humiliation. She wanted to leave but she didn't dare. Gradually, she was lost in the money. Under threats and temptations, she spent those days in a daze.
"She is very perverted. Sometimes she is Xia Chi, and sometimes she pretends to be a boy pursuing me. At that time, she gave me a fake name. When we were in love, I called her Xiao Xia, and she kept asking me to call her that."
When Lu Qiaoqing said this, she kept pinching her fingers to ease her emotions.
Qiu Huo saw her reaction clearly. Most people would have such a reaction when talking about traumatic past events, but judging from her entanglement with Xia Chi, she should have been angry and embarrassed when she encountered revenge from someone she once hated and bullied, but she didn't.
Compared with these emotions, Lu Qiaoqing showed more fear, a fear that subtly penetrated into her heart, which was enough to suppress all her anger. Even when she talked about being humiliated, she just felt uneasy and even a little dazed.
"She disappeared after a few days. I thought she had taken revenge, but she would still send me messages on her phone, just like before. I sometimes misunderstood whether she liked me or not, because she bought me gifts and gave me money, but I later realized that she just hadn't had enough fun. I didn't dare to ask her for money, but after I deleted her, she would come to school to find me. She was wearing women's clothes, and her appearance and dress were a little different from before."
"Later I found out she had a car accident, and then I don't remember the day, she suddenly disappeared from my life, and I haven't heard of her since, until now."
"If it's really her, I hope you can catch her quickly."
Lu Qiaoqing raised her head, her tone somewhat urgent.
If Xia Chi is really a murderer now, then she might come back to find her one day.
When she saw the suspect's characteristics on the Internet, she was distracted and did not sleep well the whole night. She was very worried that Xia Chi would disguise himself and approach her one day. She could not help but shiver at the mere thought of it.
She knew in her heart that as long as she was obedient, Xia Chi would let her go, but what if Xia Chi wanted to kill her? She didn't want to die yet.
Jiang Yun pushed the water in Lu Qiaoqing's direction: "We will definitely try our best to catch the murderer and protect the safety of the citizens. Because this is a serious case, we need to learn more about it..."
Qiu Huo and Jiang Yun exchanged glances and then stood up and left to verify the truthfulness of Lu Qiaoqing's words.
As for the announcement that Xia Chi wanted, they decided to put it on hold for the time being. After all, the murderer was more anxious in this situation. Moreover, they knew that once the announcement was released, the hostage in the murderer's hands would not be safe but would be in greater danger.
Now they can only delay as much as possible. If what Lu Qiaoqing said is true, they can submit the materials and apply for a wanted notice. Then they can force the murderer to use hostages to buy breathing space. Only then will there be a glimmer of hope to rescue the hostages.
Qiu Huo asked the police officer who had previously gone to Xia Chi School to investigate to go with him again. When they arrived at the school gate, they stopped and took a look at the breakfast shop next to it.
Even though it was just a silhouette from behind, he recognized that it was his boyfriend. However, now was not a good time to go over and say hello, so he showed his ID to the guard and walked inside, sending a message to Lin Zhi on his cell phone.
Lin Zhi was not surprised when he received the news, because 01 was already yelling in his head when Qiu Huo passed by.
[Lin Zhi]: Yes, I’m having breakfast.
Lin Zhi was awakened by a slight stomachache in the early morning. He drank some hot water and planned to go out for breakfast. Although there was a rice noodle shop near the apartment, there were more breakfast options on the street near the school. Lin Zhi was in a stable mood, so he didn't mind walking for a few minutes.
Lin Zhi took a sip of the warm soy milk and took a photo of the food.
[Lin Zhi]: Have you found any important clues?
[Qiu Huo]: Well, there is a turning point.
Although there are only related clues and no specific evidence yet, this is enough. As long as he can apply for a search, Qiu Huo believes that he will be able to find evidence.
[Lin Zhi]: Have you had breakfast?
【仇或】: Not yet.
[Lin Zhi]: Buy some for you.
[Qiu Huo]: Okay, wait for me for a while.
Lin Zhi didn't have to wait too long. About twenty minutes later, Qiu Huo and his colleagues came out of the school.
Police officer Xiao Zhang originally wanted to sit in the passenger seat, but just as he opened the door, he heard the boss say, "You go sit in the back."
Xiao Zhang nodded without knowing what was going on. Before he closed the car door, he saw a handsome guy walking towards him.
The young man put his finger on the top of the car door and smiled at him, "Thank you."
Xiao Zhang looked at the handsome guy in confusion as he bent down and sat in the passenger seat in front of him. Just as he was about to say something, he saw the handsome guy handing the thing in his hand to Captain Qiu.
“Why did you buy so much?”
"And your colleague's."
When Qiu Huo took the things, he took the opportunity to pinch Lin Zhi's fingertips and was very grateful for this kind of personal care.
The joy in the man's eyes was so obvious that Lin Zhi's lips curled up slightly.
Xiao Zhang sat in the back seat swiftly. During this time, he remembered who the young man in the passenger seat was. Wasn't he an important witness in the serial murder case they were following? He had been regarded as a suspect by them before. The boss had always asked Xiao Zheng to protect him. He was also an important witness who provided clues in a homicide case they were handling.
In fact, Xiao Zhang had only seen him twice, and they happened to meet each other twice, but this face was indeed unforgettable.
Qiu Huo quickly finished his breakfast and started the car. On the way, he briefly summarized what happened this morning with Lin Zhi.
"They were classmates. From the contact information we kept, we also verified with their former classmates that Lu Qiaoqing did bully Xia Chi at school, and Xia Chi retaliated against her after the car accident."
There is actually something puzzling about this. If Xia Chi had mental problems due to being bullied and completely exploded and took revenge after the car accident, then why is Lu Qiaoqing, the source of her tragedy, still alive?
Lin Zhi also thought of this and asked, "Lu Qiaoqing's birthday is October 13?"
There was a red light ahead, Qiu Huo stepped on the brakes and replied, "That's exactly what's strange, Lu Qiaoqing's birthday wasn't that day."
