Family murder mystery (15)
Wen Huizhi was saved. The hospital said that she was too frightened and had no serious injuries. She would be fine after resting for a while. But the scars from the knife wounds on her body might accompany her for the rest of her life.
After Wen Huizhi got better, Meng Siqi went to the ward as requested to record her statement.
Wen Huizhi, lying on the hospital bed, could not stop crying whenever she recalled the scene of that day, so she did not give a statement that day.
The next day, Meng Siqi received a message from Wen Huizhi asking her to meet. After she returned to the ward, Wen Huizhi was much calmer this time. She half-lay down, trying to hold back, and told her what happened that day. Finally, she burst into tears: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's my fault, I'm sorry for them."
Wen Huizhi spoke in a discontinuous manner, often choking with sobs, but Meng Siqi basically remembered everything. After Wen Huizhi calmed down, she stood up and said, "Reporter Wen, take a rest."
"Officer Meng..." Wen Huizhi's voice was weak, and her fragile and sharp eyes looked at her. However, her pale lips moved, as if she was about to speak but stopped.
"Anything else?"
"...Thank you!" Wen Huizhi seemed to be trying hard to smile, but this time, her smile was very sincere.
Meng Siqi nodded his head and said soothingly, "You're welcome. Have a good rest first."
Wen Huizhi pursed her lips tightly, as if trying hard not to cry. She also nodded heavily, "Yes!"
At the door, Zhao Leiting leaned against the door frame with his hands in his pockets and looked at them. Meng Siqi said to him as he walked out of the door, "Let's go, door god."
The two went downstairs, and Zhao Leiting said, "Why do I feel like Wen Huizhi will not be a reporter in the future?"
Meng Siqi tilted his head slightly, "Why do you think so?"
"This incident must have caused her a lot of harm. She must be suffering from psychological trauma."
Meng Siqi thought for a moment and said, "She can also become an entertainment reporter. Of course, if she continues to do documentary reporting, she should be able to do better."
"I hope so." Zhao Leiting walked down the stairs in one swift step, walked forward and opened the door of the exit very gentlemanly, "Please, Officer Meng!"
Meng Siqi smiled and rolled his eyes at him.
In fact, she was emotionally unstable when she met Wen Huizhi. To her, Wen Huizhi should be punished in this matter, but the criminal law could not convict her.
As a criminal police, she must save her. It is a responsibility she cannot shirk. Just like sometimes in life, you have to face choices, and this choice can only be single. This is the weight of the police badge.
As they walked toward the parking lot, Zhao Leiting said, "Hand in your formal employment application form, please."
"I paid it in as soon as possible. I'm still waiting for a salary increase."
"Then you have to buy me some snacks."
"Okay, okay, Mr. Zhao."
Two days later, everyone gathered in front of the crime board. Han Changlin leaned on the edge of the table with his arms folded, listening to the final analysis of the case.
Meng Siqi held a notebook and stood among the group, listening carefully to Tang Xiaochuan's summary.
After Xin Tianfei was executed, Team Two verified the entire chain of evidence and has basically concluded that Xin Tianfei committed three crimes and killed several victims.
Xin Tianfei also has a room, which was left by Xin Shu's grandparents. In that room, the second team found evidence of Xin Tianfei's crime.
Xin Tianfei arranged the evidence of his murder of Wei Xingmin's family, Zhu Gongyou's family, Qi Xiaowei and Ning Xiangjuan in the room. On the blackboard hanging on the wall, Xin Tianfei drew geometric figures of different shapes with chalk, but the letters such as "xyz" that should have appeared in the figures were replaced with the names of the victims.
According to Xin Tianfei's colleagues, he was once an excellent teacher at Jinyang Second High School. He had a natural obsession with mathematics. The turning point happened after his daughter got into trouble. There was suspicion in the school, and it was not until the news spread around the school that the suspicion became reality, and Xin was subject to all kinds of rumors.
During that time, Xin Shu went to school only a few times and had submitted depression certificates to the school many times. Xin Tianfei may have resigned on his own initiative to take care of her. Later, the school also heard the news that Xin Shu had jumped off the building, but the story about Xin Shu did not stop and continued to spread in a small area.
After Xin Shu's death, Xin Tian informally began a revenge plan. His first plan was to kill photographer Wei Xingmin. All the details came from the investigation results of Qindong Public Security.
Xin Tianfei lived in Qindong City for a while and got to know Wei Xingmin's wife. One night, he committed a crime under the pretext of delivering fruit. Wei Xingmin was punished with the scissors hell after his death, but his wife did not receive "punishment" after her death. Perhaps Xin Tianfei felt that his wife had done nothing wrong.
During the crime, Xin Tianfei was very cautious. When entering the other party's home, he would put on shoe covers and gloves at the door, making the other party mistakenly believe that he respected the other party's home cleanliness.
After Xin Tianfei returned to Jinyang City, he met You Meihua when she bought seafood, and claimed that he had a source of fresh seafood. Later, the two got to know each other. That time, Xin Tianfei also entered Zhu Gongyou and You Meihua's homes safely on the pretext of delivering fruits and committed the crime.
After killing Zhu Gongyou and You Meihua, he sentenced them to the punishment of being hanged on an iron tree and having their tongues pulled out. After killing their daughter Zhu Xinting, he may not have given them any punishment, but perhaps Zhu Gongyou and his wife's words about his daughter's "tattoo" hurt him, so he used a sharp knife to carve the same pattern on Zhu Xinting's thigh, a pattern of a butterfly with wings spread and a scorpion with its tail wagging.
He even took pictures of Zhu Xinting's body repeatedly, as if he was enjoying the pleasure of revenge. After doing all this, he naturally felt that this picture would allow people to recognize his identity, so he cut off the entire piece of skin tissue with a knife and fried it in a pan.
But revenge never ends. Not satisfied with just having a tattoo, he once again copied Wen Huizhi's report about his daughter and sent her a photo of Zhu Xinting, asking her to report it.
It is worth mentioning that when the body was being fried, Zhu may not have died yet. He should have been clearly aware of what the murderer was doing. He crawled on the ground several times, heading towards the kitchen, leaving a short blood trail on the ground. In the end, he was nailed with an iron nail in the top of his skull by Xin Tianfei.
After doing all this, he reached out to his next victim, Qi Xiaowei. Maybe he had intended to get to know Qi Xiaowei before, but Qi Xiaowei's eccentric and introverted personality probably led to his failure. So this time he had to climb in through the window and killed the two people who were making love.
The final plan was naturally Wen Huizhi. He might have thought about killing her entire family, but felt that such a punishment was too simple, so he targeted Wen Huizhi.
In fact, judging from the timeline, Xin Tianfei knew Wen Huizhi earlier, which means that he originally wanted to kill Wen Huizhi at the beginning, but perhaps he still wanted to use her, so he chose to do it at the last moment.
On the morning when the group of people who had once looked on coldly as his daughter Xin Shu was raped, perhaps Xin Tianfei saw many people who he believed had "molested" his daughter. Perhaps if he had not been brought to justice this time, he might have continued to commit crimes.
However, he himself said that some kind-hearted people called an ambulance for his daughter.
There is always good and evil in this world, but after being bullied by evil, Xin Tianfei chose to become a real devil and became the chief of evil!
All the stories have come to an end, and the tragic case that once made the people of Jinyang City panic has finally come to an end.
Han Changlin sighed, "Okay, I can finally give you an explanation."
The instructions given by the Korean team might be to Director Liu, but Meng Siqi believed that he was speaking to the people of Jinyang City.
Han Changlin clapped his hands and said, "The case is closed. Everyone has made great contributions this time. Thank you for working with me to complete this difficult task."
Zhao Leiting quickly said: "Korean team, this is what we should do."
Tang Xiaochuan echoed: "Yes, the Korean team."
Meng Siqi smiled, and although Feng Shaomin didn't say anything, he nodded.
"But this time I want to give special praise to two people." Han Changlin smiled and spoke in a rather encouraging tone.
In fact, everyone guessed who it was, but Zhao Leiting immediately said: "The Korean team, I can't be on it."
"Why, why can't you be included? We have discovered an important clue this time, so I have to commend you first!"
Zhao Lei Ting responded shyly: "Thank you, Korean team."
"You see, he is still not happy." Feng Shaomin teased.
"Brother Feng, I'm just excited." Zhao Leiting explained, "I'm really excited. Team Korea, you rarely praise me."
"Very little? I don't remember."
Zhao Leiting smiled and scratched the back of his head.
Everyone laughed.
In fact, Zhao Leiting always felt that something was wrong. He thought that Meng Siqi seemed to have led him to discover the clue about Xin Tianfei. Perhaps because he was too excited that day, he was completely unaware of it.
He once asked Meng Siqi privately, but he replied seriously: "I don't have it. You discovered it all."
He was not stupid, so he thought from the bottom of his heart that as long as Meng Siqi said a word in the future, he would go through fire and water for her.
"Of course, another person who wants to be praised is..." Han Changlin deliberately kept the secret.
In fact, Meng Siqi is very nervous at the moment. During this case, she always "drags her feet" sometimes, and she feels that she has not done well.
"Meng Siqi!" Han Changlin directly said her name.
Meng Siqi never thought that she would be recognized by the second team. She thought it was the Korean team's encouragement to her and quickly said, "Thank you for the encouragement, Korean team."
Han Changlin nodded: "You are all very good and very young. You will have many opportunities to achieve better results in the future." His words were filled with some emotion.
"Who else wants to say something? Old Feng, your apprentice performed so well, you have to say something." Han Changlin looked at Feng Shaomin again.
"I won't say anything." Feng Shaomin raised his eyes and glanced at Meng Siqi, this time his eyes were full of affirmation.
Meng Siqi was very moved and she felt that this was her home.
However, Zhao Leiting suddenly said, "Who said we would treat everyone to seafood?"
Tang Xiaochuan replied with a smile: "It must be our Korean team."
Zhao Lei Ting continued to urge: "The case has been solved, Meng Siqi has also been promoted, so I may eat more!"
"You mean I can't afford it, right?" Han Changlin also got excited, "Tomorrow, you all have to eat enough food. If anyone doesn't eat well, I'll beat him up!"
"Okay!" Everyone laughed happily.
After solving the case, the whole team was in a particularly good mood. Meng Siqi also finally got two days off. However, during these two days, Meng Siqi had her own plans. She wanted to finalize her rental.
So far, she has saved enough money. After being converted to a regular employee, her salary will be stable, and she can pay for rent every month. She went to the area near the police station, but found that the rent there was quite high.
This is not the city center, but it is also an important transportation hub. Most importantly, there are hospitals and some important public welfare units here, so the housing prices are not lower than those in the urban area.
She hesitated for a moment, planning to go back and recount the money. At night, when she was rummaging through the drawer and preparing to count the money again, a letter and a photo fell into her eyes again.
It was an unsent letter from the original owner. The photo was of her and her adoptive parents who had raised her in the countryside. The old couple had grey skin and half-white hair, but kind faces and shy yet happy smiles. She could see the love on their faces.
The original owner of this letter has not yet sent it out. She used to send back a letter every two months or so, but she has received very few letters, probably because her adoptive parents are illiterate.
In the letter, the original owner said that she had already started working and would be able to repay her parents in the future. But Meng Siqi had been here for a while, and because of work, she put this matter on hold.
One must know how to repay a favor, and she stuffed the money she had saved over the past few months into the envelope without hesitation.
The next day she sent the letter back to the village that had raised her for more than ten years. She thought that she would stick to this matter in the future.
In addition, she had checked out the company dormitories, and found out that there were no vacant rooms at the moment, so she might have to wait for a while; the process of allocating housing through company welfare benefits was even longer, and required a certain level of working experience, so if she wanted to get it quickly, she had to get married.
As for renting a house, she also figured out why she should leave the Meng family. She is the biological daughter of the Meng family and this is where she should live.
After she sent the letter, she returned home and happened to meet her brother Meng Tingzhe who had also returned home. Her mother Ye Xiuhui repeatedly urged her to have a good meal with her brother today.
She didn't refuse because Aunt Chang said she had cooked delicious meals for her. She seldom ate formal meals at home, so she felt embarrassed to refuse when she heard that the dishes were ready.
She planned to just have the meal without saying anything.
However, before she could enjoy the delicious food for a few bites, Meng Tingzhe started to question her.
"I heard that your sister got a permanent job, that's great, how's your work going lately?"
Meng Siqi ate the food and said, "It's OK."
"You guys solved a big case, you know that?"
"Huh?" Meng Siqi thought that Lu He and his team had solved a case.
"The tragic case of the math teacher who murdered his entire family has been solved, and you didn't even know about it even though you were in the police station?"
No, Meng Siqi really wanted to throw a bowl of rice at him. Wasn't that what she broke?
"What could she know?" Ye Xiuhui took a sip of soup. "She just does odd jobs at work, helping others and serving tea. Do you think she can solve the case? The murderer must be very strong. I heard that he has a face full of flesh and can scare people to death with just one look..."
Meng Siqi: “…”
Ye Xiuhui continued, "If you expect a girl like her to solve a case, she will be scared to death."
"That's true!" Meng Tingzhe said with a smile, "Sister, while you are still young and beautiful, you should think more about your life. As your brother, I still hope that you will be happy!"
"By the way, how are you and that Jiang..." Ye Xiuhui stopped talking halfway and immediately withdrew her gaze as if she noticed something.
Meng Tingzhe pursed his lips and smiled, "Jiang Sheng, Mom, you forgot about it in just a few days." He stared at Meng Siqi, as if waiting for her reply.
Meng Siqi's mentality has really improved a lot recently. Perhaps the tense case has raised her psychological threshold. She finished eating the delicious food that Aunt Chang made for her. When she was full, she wiped her greasy mouth and said, "Were you talking to me just now?"
Ye Xiuhui: “…”
Meng Tingzhe: “…”
Aunt Chang smiled and said, "Yes, I'm asking you something, Siqi, you should eat more of this."
"Thank you, Aunt Chang. I'm a little full. I'll go out for a walk first." She stood up and slowly looked at Meng Tingzhe and said, "Brother, you are almost thirty years old and have never had a girlfriend. You are so handsome. I doubt whether you like men. Jiang Sheng is so rich. Do you want to marry him and save some dowry money to buy me a house?"
Meng Tingzhe's face was indeed small, and his facial features were even a bit feminine, but at this moment his whole face drooped, as if he had been slapped in the face.
Seeing her turn around and leave, Ye Xiuhui put down her chopsticks and said, "What are you saying? You have no manners!"
"Mom, I'm done eating." Meng Tingzhe stood up suddenly with a gloomy face, "I'm leaving first."
"Hey Tingzhe, you finally get to go home and have a meal."
"Remember to take the supplements I bought for you on time." Meng Tingzhe walked out the door without looking back.
After the vacation, Meng Siqi officially returned to work and entered the working state as a full-time employee.
A female police officer walked into the office holding a file and asked as she read the words on it: "Excuse me, who is Comrade Meng Siqi?"
"It's me." Meng Siqi raised his hand and stood up.
"Starting tomorrow, we will participate in a week-long live-fire shooting training!"
"Okay!" Meng Siqi responded excitedly.
