Chapter 161 (Two in One)
Zuo Xiangfeng couldn't accept that his girlfriend left him when he loved her the most. Even though four years have passed, he still misses her terribly, especially at this point in time.
In the winter four years ago, Shi Muyuan sent him a text message and then disappeared without a trace.
He actually mistook a completely unrelated person for her, and Zuo Xiangfeng couldn't accept himself like this.
He returned to his residence, took a bottle of wine, sat in front of the coffee table and drank it sip by sip until his consciousness was completely filled with alcohol and he fell into a deep sleep. Just like every time I thought of her in the past five years.
It was not until he woke up that he saw the message sent by Hang Jiabai and opened his mailbox.
When he saw the photo taken many years ago and recalled the statue he saw during the day, Zuo Xiangfeng sobered up immediately from the remaining drunkenness.
He was a man who planned before taking action. During the time when he did not reply to Hang Jiabai, he had already found out all the information about Liu Chongsen.
A student of Huabai Academy of Fine Arts, he was unknown in school. After graduation, he found a school and started working as an unstaffed art teacher.
Six years after graduation, that is, two years ago, he created a statue of the "Goddess of Dreams" and became an instant hit.
Two more sculptures were produced afterwards, and no more famous statues were produced in the two years since then.
As for personal relationships, the year after graduation, Liu Chongsen married a girl he met through a blind date through the introduction of his family elders, and the marriage lasted for three years. During these three years, the couple had a son who was over one year old. Later, the two divorced due to a breakdown in their relationship. The woman took her children and went abroad and has not returned since.
The main reason why Zuo Xiangfeng determined that Shi Muyuan was the "goddess of his dreams" was that the school where Liu Chongsen was an art teacher was the same school where Shi Muyuan was interning.
Shortly after Shi Muyuan disappeared, Liu Chongsen resigned from the school and left. He announced to the public that he was going to study in seclusion.
Two years later, “The Goddess of My Dreams” was released, and during the period between his resignation and the release of his “Goddess of My Dreams”, his wife divorced him and never returned home again.
As a novelist who focuses on suspense and mystery, Zuo Xiangfeng has a particularly active mind. He was not unfamiliar with the idea of hiding people inside statues. Even in his past novels, there were plots about sculptures containing Tibetan people.
Another statement that proves that Shi Muyuan is in the statue is that Shi Muyuan said in a breakup text message that he is not romantic and she likes romantic authors.
Over the years, Zuo Xiangfeng has come into contact with countless authors. He even became a member of the Writers Association, but he has basically checked out all the authors whose pen names contain the word "romantic" or whose writing style is romantic. Still no trace was found.
But now, he found a net of pollacks that only wrote modern poetry, and he understood what a romantic author was.
Xu Yu and Zhou Xuanlai are active police officers, so they cannot go with them, but they can be the first police officers to arrive after the "sculpture was smashed."
In the end, it was Lin Shuyue, Hang Jiabai, and Feng Qinqin who went with Zuo Xiangfeng. Xu Yu and Zhou Xuan came and waited outside.
Zuo Xiangfeng came prepared. He picked up an axe and chopped directly at the lock of the exhibition hall.
Although Liu Chongsen has gained considerable fame in the art world, his income has not increased at all. He held this exhibition to enhance his own reputation. Make preliminary efforts to monetize your sculptures in the future.
Because of lack of money, the exhibition venue was not good. Not only was there no night security, the venue was not even big. The equipment provided by the organizer of the exhibition was also very rubbish.
Zuo Xiangfeng swung the axe and the lock became crooked. Apart from the sound of clanging, there was no infrared alarm or anything like that.
They went straight into the exhibition hall.
Lin Shuyue raised the camera. Feng Qinqin now knew that there was most likely someone in the sculpture. With a look of defeat on her face, she turned on the lights in the exhibition hall.
Although the exhibition hall was not good, the lighting was still very bright. When the lights came on, Feng Qinqin breathed a sigh of relief, but then she remembered that there were people in the statues around her. Her face fell and she couldn't help but move closer to Lin Shuyue.
Seeing the calmness on Lin Shuyue's face and the camera in her hand that didn't shake at all, Feng Qinqin became serious and excited. No wonder Lin Shuyue was able to report so many legal news articles. This kind of courage is something she cannot possess.
Zuo Xiangfeng walked straight towards the "goddess of his dream". He stood in front of the statue for a long time without moving. The hand holding the axe loosened and tightened, tightened and then relaxed.
All the anger along the way turned into calm at this moment. His hands were also trembling slightly.
He was afraid she was in there. At this moment, he would rather believe that he followed someone. Followed the romantic author of her text messages.
There were footsteps coming down from upstairs. Lin Shuyue saw from the good and evil radar that there were two people coming, and their good and evil values were not high. They were the exhibition hall staff coming down from upstairs.
"Who are you? What do you want to do by breaking into the exhibition hall so late at night?" The person who spoke was the receptionist who was impatient with Lin Shuyue during the day, and was also the one who nodded and bowed to the police in the afternoon.
They finally reached the stairs and saw Zuo Xiangfeng holding an axe and Lin Shuyue holding a camera.
Their memories were still good, so the receptionist said directly: "Xiao Wu, go upstairs and call the police. Tell them that someone broke into the exhibition hall with a weapon and intended to kill someone."
The young man behind the front desk was also encountering such a thing for the first time. He ran upstairs quickly and soon heard loud voices calling for the police.
Zuo Xiangfeng ignored the receptionist, who was standing at the stairs and didn't dare to come over. He had already recognized Lin Shuyue and Feng Qinqin. He looked at them with angry eyes. Obviously, in his mind.
Lin Shuyue and Feng Qinqin's friend got lost in the exhibition hall, but they couldn't find it no matter how hard they looked, so they came to the exhibition hall to cause trouble.
If eyes could be knives, Lin Shuyue dared to believe that they had died countless times under the eyes of the front desk clerk.
Lin Shuyue's cell phone was always connected to Hang Jiabai. Three minutes after Xiao Wu finished calling the police and came down from upstairs with a mop, they finally arrived. Xu Yu and Zhou Xuanlai beside him had already changed into police uniforms.
Hang Jiabai came in with them.
Zhou Xuanlai acted as if he didn't know Lin Shuyue and the others. After looking around, he set his sights on Zuo Xiangfeng who was holding the axe. He took out the baton he carried with him and pointed it at him: "Put down your weapon."
Zuo Xiangfeng pretended not to hear anything. He raised the axe with both hands and smashed it at the "goddess of my dream". With a snap, the plaster used for the sculpture shattered. The broken pieces of plaster fell to the ground, but the miraculous thing was that the plaster statue did not break and still maintained its original shape.
A ball of slightly yellowed gauze appeared before their eyes.
"Ahhhhhhhhh" Zuo Xiangfeng's wailing was heard by everyone at this moment. \
Lin Shuyue was holding the camera lens, and at this moment, it shook.
Feng Qinqin had already hugged Lin Shuyue's arms, tears streaming down her face.
The receptionist and Xiao Wu didn't know what this meant. The receptionist looked at the plaster on the ground and gritted her teeth: "Are you crazy? Ah? Even if a friend is missing, there is no need to smash things in the exhibition hall, right?"
"Do you know how much this sculpture is worth? Do you know how much insurance the organizer of this exhibition has paid for these statues? You are screwed, I tell you!" the receptionist shouted angrily.
He seemed to see himself being kicked out! They started renting houses here for various exhibitions ten years ago.
These exhibitions are small-scale, and many people organize them just to satisfy their own vanity. In fact, they have no fame at all. Those works are lost and gone.
But Liu Chongsen is different. He was already famous before he opened the exhibition hall! Their boss attaches great importance to this event, and this importance is reflected in the fact that they left them on duty at the exhibition hall!
They were originally watching TV upstairs, but who could have imagined that there would be someone so bold as to directly smash the sculptures from the guild hall?
These people were even so arrogant as to smash things in front of the police! The receptionist was going crazy. He didn't dare to think about how furious his boss would be if he got to know about this. The fire in the afternoon hasn’t died down yet!
Xu Yu and the others ignored the front desk clerk's fury. He took out his cell phone and called the serious crime squad. After he said that there was a person hidden in the plaster statue, the receptionist who was still roaring angrily was like a rooster with its neck strangled, unable to utter a word.
Zuo Xiangfeng knelt on the ground dejectedly, tears falling down his face.
The Criminal Investigation Bureau in the capital city is not far from here. The leader of the Second Serious Crime Unit rushed in with a forensic doctor and others. The forensic doctor took the lead in examining the statue that had been smashed open.
After more than ten minutes of careful examination, they concluded: "This is a human body. The internal organs have been hollowed out and filled with plaster. Preliminary judgment shows that this body is a young woman between 22 and 30 years old. The time and manner of death still need further investigation."
Zuo Xiangfeng sat on the ground with his hands covering his eyes. His girlfriend Shi Muyuan was 23 years old when she disappeared. Her life had just begun, but it came to an end.
After hearing the forensic conclusion, the leader of the third team of the serious crime squad said, "Smash all these plaster statues for me."
The axe next to Zuo Xiangfeng was taken away by the criminal police, and they smashed the nearest plaster statue, which was called "Son of the Sun God".
The plaster also exploded, revealing a body wrapped in gauze.
Inside the "Mother Goddess", there are two corpses, an adult woman and a baby over one year old.
The receptionist at the exhibition organizer and Xiao Wu were so scared that they sat on the ground. After hearing the police announce that there were only four bodies, the receptionist climbed upstairs tremblingly to call the boss.
At the same time, the serious crime team drove to Liu Chongsen's home.
Liu Chongsen is from Fengshan District of the capital. Four years ago, after resigning from his job, he took out all his family’s savings, bought a piece of land on a mountain in Fengshan District, and built a house as his first studio.
In the past few years, whenever he had some time, he spent it here.
But just in case, the police have rushed to his home and rented studio in the city.
When we arrived at the house in Fengshan District, the heating in the house was still on.
The food was burning, and there was a table full of unfinished dishes.
Smoked chicken and pork head mixed with cucumber are all here, as well as a glass of high-quality Fenjiu that has not been finished.
But there was no trace of human presence inside or outside the house.
The leader of the serious crime squad listened to the team members' reports about the existence of the basement and that someone had just escaped, and looked at the high-end down jacket discarded on the kang.
He sneered and said, "Leave some people to search Liu Chongsen's residence inside and out, and don't let go of even the rat holes. There are a few grains of rice that the rats have stored in there, count them all for me."
"The rest of you, follow me into the mountains. That beast, that bastard, is not wearing a coat. It's minus 20 degrees Celsius outside, so he can't walk far."
"Let's go." Following an order from the leader of the third team of the serious crime squad, the police were divided into two groups to conduct an investigation.
In the basement, they found a large amount of plaster and a pool filled with formalin liquid.
·······
Lin Shuyue didn't know all this. After all, this was not Guangyue or Hang Jiabai's territory. Therefore, neither Lin Shuyue nor Hang Jiabai had any room to interfere in the investigation of this case.
They sat with Feng Qinqin and Zuo Xiangfeng in the hall of the Criminal Investigation Brigade, watching the criminal police busy coming in and out.
Feng Qinqin had already vomited once. She couldn't even drink water at the moment and was so weak that her whole body was shaking.
After Zuo Xiangfeng explained everything to the police, he sat on a stool with his head in his hands, not saying a word.
After a long time, someone came. Lin Shuyue and the others turned their heads to look and saw that the person was a woman in her forties. She was very beautiful and exuded a gentleness all over her body.
After she came in, she looked at Zuo Xiangfeng with her red and swollen eyes, opened her mouth but said nothing, and under the guidance of the police, went to take a blood sample.
When she came out, she was still standing in front of Zuo Xiangfeng.
Zuo Xiangfeng raised his head: "Auntie."
He hadn't spoken for so long that his voice was fragile.
"Xiang Feng, look forward, okay?" As the woman said this, tears began to fall.
Reason told Zuo Xiangfeng that he should nod, but he really couldn't do it.
Zuo Xiangfeng's parents also arrived. They and Shi Muyuan's mother have been acquainted for many years. Because of the relationship between the two children, their relationship has become as close as a family.
Later, with Shi Muyuan's departure, Zuo Xiangfeng no longer even became the most competent policeman, and the two families didn't spend much time together.
Zuo Xiangfeng's mother saw Shi Muyuan's mother. She reached out, took Shi Muyuan's mother's hand and patted it.
Shi Muyuan's mother burst into tears, and the sadness in her voice made the onlookers feel sad.
Shi Muyuan's mother would rather believe that Shi Muyuan had followed someone else and ran away than believe the news that she had been murdered.
Shi Muyuan is her first child. Her appearance combines all the advantages of her and her ex-husband. She has a gentle appearance and a gentle and soft temperament. She is worthy of her pride just by standing there.
At that time, she received a message from Shi Muyuan, in which Shi Muyuan said that she had found her true love and that she had lived with him for all these years and suffered a lot of grievances. She wanted to leave her and live her own good life.
Shi Muyuan's mother was shocked and sad at the time, and then she was in disbelief. She knew Shi Muyuan's school and heard the school leaders say that Shi Muyuan had resigned. As for where he went, no one knows.
Shi Muyuan's mother called the police and has been looking for her continuously over the years. Just last year, Shi Muyuan's half sister got married and had a child. Shi Muyuan's mother had to take care of the child, so she gave up looking for Shi Muyuan.
But Shi Muyuan's mother could never have imagined that the next time she heard from her eldest daughter, she would be asked to come to the Public Security Bureau to assist in sampling. From the moment she received the call, Shi Muyuan's mother knew that her daughter Yuanyuan was in great danger.
Just now, a policeman told her the specific information about the plaster statue suspected to be Shi Muyuan. Shi Muyuan's mother is heartbroken.
How uncomfortable, painful and aggrieved she must have been to have her internal organs removed, filled with plaster and then sculpted?
Mother Zuo also started crying when she thought of the girl whom she once thought would be her daughter-in-law.
Zuo Xiangfeng did not hide the fact that he was dating her from anyone. They were a recognized couple in high school, and Zuo's mother and husband were also very satisfied with Shi Muyuan. Because the girl is gentle, sensible and filial. They watched him grow up and know him inside and out.
Before Shi Muyuan disappeared, they were already looking for a new house for them. Who would have thought that just after they had chosen the new house, Shi Muyuan sent a text message to break up with Zuo Xiangfeng.
As satisfied as Zuo's mother and father were with Shi Muyuan at the beginning, they hated her even more after this incident, especially after Zuo Xiangfeng even quit his job as a policeman.
But as time went by, they regained their senses and began to believe their son's judgment. Shi Muyuan's disappearance might be an accident, and the text message that year might not have been sent by her.
Mother Zuo gave Zuo Xiangfeng four years to investigate. During this time, she had been forcing Zuo Xiangfeng to go on blind dates. Who would have thought that at this critical juncture, Zuo Xiangfeng would actually find Shi Muyuan?
It was found in this way. Zuo's mother knew that Zuo Xiangfeng might never get married again in his life.
She had been mentally prepared before, and now, she felt that the dust had settled.
She felt sad for that gentle and sensible girl. Why is her life so miserable?
The two mothers hugged each other and cried bitterly.
More than half an hour passed before the two calmed down, but their hands were still tightly clasped.
At one o'clock in the morning, the police who went to arrest Liu Chongsen returned.
Liu Chongsen was handcuffed and wearing a sweater, and his shoes had flown off at some point. One of the eyes on his face was also broken.
Zuo Xiangfeng saw him being escorted in, stood up, and hit him in the face.
Seeing this, Liu Chongsen laughed instead: "Zuo Xiangfeng, right? I heard Shi Muyuan mention you. She used to always say how outstanding and wonderful you are in school."
Zuo Xiangfeng had been held down by the police. When he heard Liu Chongsen saying Shi Muyuan's name, he struggled and kicked Liu Chongsen again.
Liu Chongsen's face was distorted with pain, but he still looked at Zuo Xiangfeng provocatively.
In the end, Zuo Xiangfeng was dragged and carried out of the Criminal Investigation Brigade by Zuo's mother and father.
Lin Shuyue was also at the scene. When she passed by Liu Chongsen, she received a prompt from the system: [Do you want to spend 300 points to view the life of the criminal Liu Chongsen? whether. 】
Lin Shuyue clicked yes. Liu Chongsen was escorted in, and Hang Jiabai sent Lin Shuyue and Feng Qinqin back to the hotel.
Feng Qinqin felt much more relieved at this moment. She felt that as long as Liu Chongsen was caught, He Wanqing would also be found.
The police have not reported He Wanqing's death, which means she is still alive. Feng Qinqin felt that she could finally explain to He Wanqing's parents.
After returning to the hotel, Hang Jiabai did not go back home. Instead, he booked a room downstairs to sleep. Lin Shuyue and Feng Qinqin were lying on the bed, neither of them could fall asleep.
Because Feng Qinqin knew that He Wanqing's parents were coming. Even though she knew that He Wanqing was fine now, Feng Qinqin still felt suffocated in her heart when facing He Wanqing's parents.
"Shu Yue, when Wan Qing's parents come, if they beat me up, stop them." Feng Qinqin said, and then immediately said, "Forget it, forget it, don't stop them, or you'll get hurt. Just help me call the police."
Lin Shuyue looked at Feng Qinqin's frightened expression and couldn't help asking, "Qinqin, have you ever thought about staying away from Wanqing?"
"Yes, of course." Feng Qinqin sighed and took a sip of mineral water: "Since the first time I was humiliated by Wanqing's mother, I wanted to break up with Wanqing."
"It was autumn, and it was raining heavily. I was sleeping in the middle of the night when I heard Wanqing calling. She was downstairs in my house, soaking wet. She was shivering from the cold, and her face was pale. The first thing she said to me when she saw me was, "Don't be angry. I didn't mean it."
"I softened my heart. The second time, it was snowing heavily when she came to see me. The snow was almost up to her knees, and she didn't wear many clothes. What else could I say?"
As soon as Feng Qinqin finished speaking, there was a knock on the door. Feng Qinqin immediately jumped up from the bed and stood against the wall.
The knocks on the door had turned into banging. Feng Qinqin's face turned pale. It was already past two o'clock. Lin Shuyue was afraid of disturbing the people next door who were resting, so she went to open the door.
An angry woman saw that she was not Feng Qinqin, and pulled her angrily, trying to push her aside.
But Lin Shuyue's territory was stable. She tried to move it but failed. Lin Shuyue's eyes swept over her body and the middle-aged man behind her: "Auntie, who are you? Not only did you come here to smash our door in the middle of the night, but you also want to rush in?"
"Are robbers so brazen nowadays?"
"You little bitch, keep your mouth shut. Who is the robber? I'm here to find Feng Qinqin." He Wanqing's mother was full of shit. After she finished talking to Lin Shuyue, she shouted inside: "Feng Qinqin, you little bitch, come out here. Where did you take my Wanqing?"
"I'm telling you, if you know what's best for you, hand her over right away. Otherwise, I'll make you pay." He Wanqing's mother's voice was as sharp as the one on the phone. The mouth will become dirtier.
While she was talking, Lin Shuyue saw the rolling pin sticking out from her sleeve. Her heart skipped a beat, and she pushed her away and slammed the door in her face.
"She's armed. We can't just let this go peacefully. Call the police."
Feng Qinqin didn't expect that He Wanqing's mother really wanted to hit her, so she picked up the phone and made the call tremblingly. While she was talking, Lin Shuyue's phone rang.
The caller was Hang Jiabai: "Ayue, Xu Yu just called and said that the serious crime team has finished interrogating Liu Chongsen, and he confessed to killing Shi Muyuan, his wife Wu Lili, his son Liu Xiangchao, and his brother-in-law Wu Shengzong. But he did not admit that he kidnapped He Wanqing."
Lin Shuyue frowned: "What about the police's survey results?"
"No information about He Wanqing's identity was found at any of Liu Chongsen's three residences."
"The police retrieved surveillance footage along the way and found He Wanqing at the entrance of a shopping mall 300 meters away from the exhibition hall. She changed her clothes and got into a taxi alone."
"Through inquiries to the taxi company, the driver who picked her up yesterday said that He Wanqing was going to the bus station. She was very happy in the car and chatted with the driver for a long time."
Lin Shuyue frowned: "What do you mean? Does it mean that He Wanqing left on her own?"
"We'll have to wait until we find He Wanqing to find out the details."
Lin Shuyue raised her eyes and looked at Feng Qinqin. After Feng Qinqin called the police, her eyes were already filled with tears.
