Chapter 5 Hatred
Xia Mufan had just been thinking about a question: How should one interrogate a deaf person?
Because communication is not smooth, language must be concise and to the point.
So, what is the most vulnerable point in Huang Zhiqiang's heart that can be broken at the slightest touch?
Behind hatred is often the result of not getting what you want.
The more you desire, the more you hate.
Huang Zhiqiang killed his mother, so it is impossible for him to remain calm.
The reason why he pretended to be dumb in front of the police was just to cover up the fear, worry, guilt and pain in his heart after killing his mother.
It only takes two words to break this disguise.
--Mother.
It was the first time that Xia Mufan faced the murderer and felt unsure, so he looked at Yue Yuan for his opinion. Yue Yuan did not stop her, which meant that her actions were allowed.
This gave Xia Mufan confidence. Facing Huang Zhiqiang's anger, she did not retreat a single step. She pointed at herself with one hand, then at the other person, and made a gesture: Follow me.
Opening his mouth once again, Xia Mufan shouted out the two words hidden deep in his heart: "Mom...Mom!"
Mother.
Where are you?
These two words also brought back countless memories in Xia Mufan's heart.
Xia Mufan's mother is named Xu Shumei, and she is as virtuous and beautiful as her name suggests.
Xu Shumei attended junior high school and was considered an educated person in the countryside. She has a gentle personality, loves reading, and has many stories in her mind.
Xia Mufan still remembers that when they were enjoying the cool in the summer evenings, her mother would hold her in her arms and point to the stars in the sky to coax her: "See? That's the Milky Way. There is a bright star on each side of the Milky Way. One is the Cowherd and the other is the Weaver Girl. There are two small stars on both sides of the Altair. They are their children. After the family was forcibly separated by the Queen Mother using the Milky Way, magpies would build a bridge every August 15th for the two families to meet."
Growing up listening to his mother's stories, Xia Mufan felt that he was the happiest child in the village.
However, such happy times came to an abrupt end on March 11, 1980.
My father worked in a brick factory in town, and my mother would bring him lunch every day at noon. That day, Xia Mufan sat on the doorstep waiting for his mother to come back. He waited until the sun set and until his father came home from get off work, but he didn't see her.
Xia Mufan cried all the way from home to the village entrance, hugging the big locust tree and crying all night. He ignored anyone who tried to comfort him, and only knew to shout to the crows on the tree: "Give my mother back! Give my mother back!"
No one knows where Xu Shumei went.
The police from the local police station came twice and finally concluded that the person was missing.
Some people suspected that she was abducted by human traffickers while delivering meals; some people suspected that she eloped with a village scoundrel; and some people suspected that she could not stand the hardship of life in the countryside and abandoned her husband and children to run away to the city to enjoy a good life.
Xia Mufan would never believe that her mother would leave her alone.
Someone must have harmed her.
Or, someone deceived and trafficked her.
Fifteen years have passed.
The father remarried, had more children, and forgot about the mother. The name Xu Shumei has been crossed out in the household registration book.
The villagers have also forgotten that there was once a woman named Xu Shumei who married into the third group of Xinzhang Brigade in Hui County.
Time passes.
Hui County became Hui City, Xinzhang Brigade became Xinzhang Village, and Group 3 became Sanwuchang.
However, Xia Mufan's longing never changes.
Everyone has forgotten her, but Xia Mufan always remembers her.
My mother's name is Xu Shumei.
If she were still alive, she would be exactly 43 years old this year.
She is slightly plump and feels chubby when held in the arms.
Her clothes were always washed clean and smelled like sunshine.
The deceased was a woman in her forties.
She is Huang Zhiqiang's mother.
She was killed by her son.
——Whenever he thought of this, Xia Mufan couldn't stop trembling.
We must force Huang Zhiqiang to confess and we must catch this cruel murderer! There was a blazing flame in Xia Mufan's sparkling eyes, melting all of Huang Zhiqiang's disguise.
"Mother!"
"Mother!"
"Mother……"
Xia Mushige repeated these two words.
When babies learn to speak, the first syllable they utter is "ma ma".
Open and close your lips naturally, keep your tongue flat, and let air flow out from between your lips to make the sound "mom".
Languages around the world have their own characteristics, but the word "mother" is similar.
These two words were like a heavy hammer, constantly hitting Huang Zhiqiang's heart.
Finally, the heart wrapped in a hard shell began to crack.
This hard shell is called hatred.
Tears slid down Huang Zhiqiang's cheeks.
His face turned pale and his teeth began to chatter.
Chuckling…
The trembling was like ripples on the water, gradually spreading throughout the body.
First the lips, then the cheeks, then the shoulders, hands, feet...
Huang Zhiqiang stared blankly at Xia Mufan's lips opening and closing, and his whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.
In the end, his spirit was almost collapsed, his eyes were fierce, his hands were like eagle claws, and he went straight to Xia Mufan's neck. He uttered chaotic syllables from his mouth, as ferocious as a wild wolf.
"Xia-Xia!"
"not good--"
"Catch him!"
Yu Jing was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, and he and Sun Xianbing rushed forward on the left and right.
Before Xia Mufan angered Huang Zhiqiang, he was already prepared to take action.
Isn't it just a fight? She is not afraid.
When he was six years old, his mother disappeared. Many people in the village talked about her behind her back, saying that she ran away with a strange man. The angry Xia Mufan would rush up to fight whenever he heard someone saying bad things about his mother.
She has been strong and agile since she was young, and can hear the voices of animals. She can command the cats and dogs in the village to help. Although she is young, she is very lethal. From the age of six to twelve, her family beat her countless times, but Xia Mufan just gritted her teeth and refused to admit her mistakes.
Later, no child in the village dared to provoke her anymore, and adults did not dare to talk about her mother in front of her. This long history of fighting finally came to an end.
However, the wildness in her bones took root.
This wildness makes her stand out among her peers.
From elementary school, junior high school, high school, all the way to college, she was always the most undisciplined one in the class.
Even at the China Police University, she still couldn't change her temper, and was therefore labeled a "thorn in the flesh."
Huang Zhiqiang’s claws were already in front of him. A light flashed in Xia Mufan’s eyes, and his whole body was like a sharp blade, unsheathed in an instant!
Lower your head and give way.
Lift your elbows, hook your feet and trip!
With a small grappling move, Huang Zhiqiang was thrown to the ground.
Yu Jing and Sun Xianbing arrived just in time and quickly subdued the angry and roaring Huang Zhiqiang.
Yue Yuan frowned and shouted, "Dare to attack the police? Take him away!"
Huang Zhiqiang was taken back to the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Municipal Bureau.
Xia Mufan and the other three also followed the car.
The Criminal Investigation Brigade office building is a three-story white building, hidden among green trees and flowers. In the open parking lot, there are three patrol police cars, two military jeeps, and a row of police motorcycles, which looks very impressive.
Xia Mufan, Sun Xianbing and Yu Jing walked into the office building of the Criminal Investigation Brigade side by side. Looking at the spacious police hall, the policemen in neat uniforms, and the bright and tidy offices, the three of them looked at each other and felt a sense of pride in their hearts.
——One day, we can also come here and become a criminal police.
Yue Yuan still had a lot of things to do, so he didn't have time to show Xia Mufan and the other two around. He simply said, "Follow me, just look, don't talk."
After saying this, Yue Yuan called his men to arrange the follow-up work.
First, the application and issuance of a search warrant for Huang Zhiqiang's residence;
Second, conduct a DNA test on Huang Zhiqiang to verify the identity of the deceased;
Third, investigate Huang Zhiqiang’s social relations to find out when his mother came to Hui City and how she contacted him.
…
Each and every one of them is trivial and detailed.
Xia Mufan was dazzled as he watched from the side.
She benefited a lot from putting the theoretical knowledge in the textbooks into practice.
After arranging everything, Yue Yuan finally had some free time. He turned around and looked at Xia Mufan: "Why do you suspect Huang Zhiqiang of murdering his mother?"
Of course, Xia Mufan couldn't say that he knew this from listening to the birds' discussion: "Among the middle-aged women in their forties, the only one Huang Zhiqiang could get in touch with and develop hatred for was his mother."
Yue Yuan raised his eyebrows and looked at the tall policewoman in front of him.
Just entering the industry, he dared to face the suspects directly and interrogate them directly. He made the other party collapse with just the word "mom". This courage, frankness and intelligence moved him, a veteran.
To be honest, Yue Yuan wanted to poach some people.
Facing Yue Yuan's gaze, Xia Mufan blinked. Her slender and curved eyes, as she looked around, made her even more beautiful. She combed her hair back into a simple ponytail, with the fluffy hair flying across her broad, beautiful forehead. She had an indescribable appeal.
Outside the office door, a few figures would occasionally walk by in the corridor, their eyes wandering into the room, obviously attracted by Xia Muchan, the strange and beautiful policewoman.
The light in Yue Yuan's eyes dimmed a little.
After all, he is still a child.
A beautiful girl.
The serious crime squad faces cruel and horrific cases every day and deals with all kinds of cunning criminals. Women... always suffer the most in the end.
Even though he knew that the policewoman in front of him was not a flower that had never experienced the wind and rain, but a strong grass that stood tall in the wind, Yue Yuan was still a little hesitant: female criminal police had no advantages in career development.
Maybe she should have a relaxed working environment, a sweet and beautiful love, and a stable and happy family. Why should she be like me, going through wind and rain, working hard, and fighting wits and courage in a sea of blood and corpses?
Thinking of this, Yue Yuan gave up the idea of transferring Xia Muchan to the serious crime team.
Yue Yuan spoke very quickly, with a falling tone at the end of each word, which sounded decisive and forceful. However, when facing Xia Mufan, his attitude softened: "Xiao Xia, you did a good job today."
Looking at Sun Xianbing and Yu Jing again, Yue Yuan said: "Thank you for your support. You have worked hard today. I will let Xiao Gong take you back to the police station."
Yu Jing said a few polite words, then left with Xia Mufan and Sun Xianbing.
Xia Mufan walked to the door and turned to look at Yue Yuan: "Team Leader Yue, the head of the deceased has not been found, right? Perhaps... we can look for Huang Zhiqiang's residence."
Yue Yuan smiled.
Yue Yuan seldom smiles.
Because when he smiled, two deep dimples appeared on his cheeks, and the whole person became lively all of a sudden, without any dignity and could not control the situation.
Yue Yuan raised his hand, clenched his fist and put it to his lips. He coughed and tried to suppress the smile on his face: "Okay, don't worry about this. We know it."
The serious crime squad has always done things in accordance with rules and regulations. A search warrant has been applied for, and the head is also an important clue they have been looking for. Since Xia Mufan has forced Huang Zhiqiang to reveal his true colors, he will naturally not miss these actions. Why does he need her to remind him?
The newcomer is really cute.
