Flower Museum Headless Dismemberment Case (7)

Da Cheng had a slightly anxious look on his face. Everyone who knew Da Cheng knew that he was a nice person, but he was impatient. The morning meeting was coming to an end. Because Da Cheng suddenly appeared, everyone was worried about what happened to the case. Lu He asked, "Is there something wrong with Da Cheng?"

"Captain Lu, I'm looking for Xiao Meng." Da Cheng hurriedly finished the story. "Xiao Meng, the pervert who molested female students refused to admit the accusation of the victim. You should go and record your statement."

Meng Siqi raised her head, and she immediately came out of her slightly depressed mood. She understood that the victim's testimony was far from enough, and she was needed to give additional testimony.

She nodded quickly and said, "Brother Cheng, I'll come over after the meeting."

"Okay," Da Cheng said, "I'll go back and wait for you."

After Da Cheng left, Zhao Leiting, who had been folding his arms with a tense expression, asked her curiously: "What kind of pervert? Did you meet him on the bus this morning? Because of this? You're late."

Meng Siqi nodded, "Yes."

"Awesome." Zhao Leiting let go of his arm and smiled. "I caught a pervert last shift. That's pretty cool."

Everyone knew that Zhao Lei Ting had something else in his words. Luo Xiaoguo and Yan Chun felt particularly uncomfortable after hearing it. The smiles on their faces disappeared when Da Cheng spoke. When Da Cheng said this, everyone could tell why Meng Siqi was late in the morning.

Instead, the two of them were at loggerheads with each other. If this got out, they wouldn't know where to put their faces. Zhao Lei Ting would make a big fuss about it, and Luo Xiaoguo and Yan Chun would be even more embarrassed. Their faces turned slightly pale, and embarrassment started from their necks. However, both of them were veteran criminal police officers and did not show all their emotions.

Because of Zhao Leiting's words, everyone's admiring eyes unconsciously turned to Meng Siqi. Cai Shuangxi even happily gave Meng Siqi a thumbs up, "Xiao Meng, great, you remind me of Maldini, he is the soul of the Rossoneri, a great left back, a great center back, and also on the pitch..."

"Meeting adjourned!" Lu He suddenly shouted.

Cai Shuangxi licked his lips, not yet finished describing. But he saw Meng Siqi smiling at him, a smile he thought was beautiful, even more beautiful than the "inverted golden hook" and "crescent moon" in football.

"Meng Siqi, please stay for a moment." When everyone dispersed, Lu He's deep voice rang out again.

Zhao Leiting walked to the door and looked back at Meng Siqi who was staying in the conference room. He said to Feng Shaomin, "Brother Feng, you go back first. I'll wait for her."

"Okay." Feng Shaomin nodded, looking very relaxed, with a hint of admiration for Zhao Leiting in his expression.

Zhao Leiting looked into the conference room, at Meng Siqi's tall and slender back, and Lu He's calm and gentle face. Lu He was nearly a head taller than Meng Siqi, and when the two stood together, their heights were quite matched.

In the conference room, Meng Siqi felt a little uneasy. Although she had her reasons for what happened in the morning, it was also the duty of a police officer to catch the rapist. If she was not a police officer, she would be a good citizen who was brave enough to do what was right. For the police, there was no such thing as being brave enough to do what was right. It was her duty to punish the evildoers. She could not tell Lu He that she was right to be late just because she was "brave enough to do what was right".

However, in front of her, Lu He's eyes were gentle, as if he had intentionally restrained the light.

He was no longer as sharp as when they first met, and he no longer had the eyes that scrutinized and judged others. He seemed to hide that penetrating power in front of her and deliberately blunted his attitude towards her.

His thin lips were slightly pursed, forming a nice arc. In Meng Siqi's eyes, this was a friendly gesture and also a comfort from a superior to his subordinates. There was another kind of arc that she had seen under the street lights when he sent her home at night. It was an unintentional expression when he watched her go home and watched her back.

"Siqi, do you know why I kept you here?"

"Captain Lu, just speak your mind. I will remember it."

Lu He's tone was powerful and magnetic: "I want to tell you that the police force has rules, but the rules are dead. When it comes to saving lives and punishing crimes, the rules sometimes have to give way. I hope you will continue to make just choices and let the flowers of justice bloom! So, you are not late to me."

Meng Siqi was very moved at this moment. She was moved that Lu He understood her emotions and filled the gap in her heart. All this was enough to make her persist in making more just choices on the road of criminal police.

"Okay, go back first if you have something to say." Lu He pursed his thin lips and curved them slightly again.

"Thank you, team leader. I will do it and abide by the police rules. I'll be leaving first." For some reason, she suddenly relaxed and gave a smile from the bottom of her heart.

Just as she was about to walk out the door, Lu He called her again: "Siqi."

She turned around, and Lu He slowly spoke: "Remember, safety comes first in every action."

"Remember that." Meng Siqi said these words with extra force, and added, "You are also on the road team."

She also wanted to tell him to remember to be safe and to make it to the end! To stay alive! To make it through the next thirty years!

At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps of leather shoes came from the door.

Zhao Leiting, who was waiting outside the door, saw a girl jogging towards him from a distance.

He knew the girl. Her name was Lin Mingjia. She was from the Information Department and had come to the police station two years ago. She graduated with a degree in computer science. Not many people knew how to use computers in this era, especially when the Internet was just emerging. Cyber ​​criminal investigation began to become an important way to solve cases. Lin Mingjia also won the third-class merit last year for her skills.

Although Zhao Leiting also won the third-class merit at that celebration party, he felt very lucky. If it weren't for Meng Siqi, he might not have won the award at all. He still thinks that the third-class merit is very remarkable, so he also paid special attention to Lin Mingjia.

Lin Minjia is also very tall, a little shorter than Meng Siqi. Zhao Leiting paid special attention to her last award photo. She has a delicate appearance, her hair is not very long, tied in two short ponytails, and she has a little baby fat, so she looks a little cute.

Zhao Leiting watched her trotting over and couldn't help but watch for a while longer. However, when he got closer, he found that Lin Mingjia's face was full of anxiety. She must have something urgent to do. He hurriedly asked, "Are you looking for the road team?"

"Brother Lei Ting, is Team Lu in the meeting room?"

"Yes, the meeting just ended."

Lin Mingjia said thank you and met Meng Siqi as soon as she entered the door. They both knew each other.

Meng Siqi saw that she was anxious, and there must be something urgent. Lin Mingjia was holding a letter in her hand, and she raised it, "Captain Lu, there is a special letter, you must take a look."

Lu He reached out to take the letter. Since they were all colleagues, Lin Mingjia did not hide it and said directly: "I got the letter this morning. Brother Cao said it was very important and asked me to deliver it to you immediately. This should be the letter that the suspect left in the public mailbox of the police station."

Meng Siqi stood there and suddenly became nervous. The suspect should be Xiao Chou in the museum dismemberment case. She took a special look and saw that there was no text on the envelope in Lu He's hand, but there was a simplified picture of Xiao Chou.

This kind of ugly pattern is particularly common on poker cards. It has an ugly hat, a red nose, and a half-length portrait drawn in pencil. It is a very conspicuous logo.

The letter from Xiao Chou, what does it mean?

Is it a provocation to the police? Or is it a provocation to society? This gave her a chilling feeling.

Lu He glanced at the letter. Although his expression was calm, there was a hint of annoyance in his eyes.

He handed the letter to Meng Siqi, who picked it up and saw only one simple sentence on it: "Did you find me? Officer Lu!"

These words were like a needle piercing Meng Siqi's heart. This letter contained a lot of information. The suspect knew Lu He, and the suspect's criminal behavior was not just simple murder. The suspect had a more terrifying purpose than murder itself.

Lu He's tone was still calm: "Lin Mingjia, leave this letter with me first. You should contact the major newspapers as soon as possible to find out whether the suspect has sent them similar letters. If so, I hope they will cooperate and not publish it."

Lin Mingjia said hurriedly, "I know the route, I will report back immediately."

After Lin Mingjia left, Lu He said to Meng Siqi, "Siqi, go back first. I'll send the letter to the technical department for inspection."

"Okay." Meng Siqi walked out of the conference room. She saw Zhao Leiting standing not far away with his hands in his pockets, leaning against the wall.

She pretended to be relaxed and said, "Door God, why are you still here?"

"Wait a minute. I have to praise you in person for your heroic deeds this morning."

"Haha, forget it. I still have a lot of things to do." As she spoke, she walked towards the stairs with him. On the way, she was thinking that maybe the suspect wanted to create a more serious social incident, so provoking the police station was not his main purpose. Maybe his purpose was to let the whole city know through the newspaper, so Lu He had to stop this from happening now.

After recording her statement with Dacheng, she gave Dacheng another suggestion. There were many witnesses on the bus at that time, and she would find relevant witnesses to record their statements. Dacheng told her to go to the case first and leave it to him. He would definitely convict the molester.

After thanking Dacheng, Meng Siqi and Zhao Leiting rushed to the Hoh Xil Travel Company. Yesterday, the company reported that they were still sorting out the information they wanted, but had not provided it yet. The two decided to go there in person today.

After meeting the company's manager, the manager said that he had been pressing for processing because something had suddenly happened and the company's system had problems. The two waited for an hour and finally got the staff list and attendance sheets for the most recent period.

However, the manager also said that he has been busy with the development of the museum recently and has neglected many internal management matters, so this list may not be comprehensive.

Meng Siqi expressed her gratitude and returned to the car. She immediately checked the staff list and attendance sheet one by one, and Zhao Leiting also checked them together.

Considering that they had to visit the flower shop in the afternoon, they did not plan to return to the office. They were busy until noon. Zhao Leiting drove the car to a restaurant street. He got out of the car, bought a box lunch, and added hot water to her thermos.

When he came back, he opened the car door and said, "Siqi, take a break and come out to eat something."

Meng Siqi made a lot of marks with a ballpoint pen and looked at her watch. It was already 1:30 in the afternoon. She was really hungry, so she packed up the materials and got off the co-pilot seat. She suddenly felt a little sore in her waist. She rubbed her waist and took the lunch box from Zhao Leiting. Zhao Leiting tore off the plastic film of the disposable chopsticks and handed them to her.

Meng Siqi looked at the chicken legs, potatoes, vegetables, and half a boiled egg in the lunch box and felt that this fast food was not cheap.

Zhao Lei Ting was probably very hungry, just like her colleagues, so he squatted on the curb and started eating.

The chicken leg was not big, how could a big boy eat it? Before Meng Siqi even started eating, he picked up the chicken leg and put it into Zhao Leiting's lunch box. Zhao Leiting stopped eating rice and raised his head. "I bought it for you."

"I don't want to eat."

“Don’t eat chicken legs?”

"I'm not that hungry today, so you can eat it."

Zhao Leiting smiled and was about to stand up, "You are quite picky. Then I will buy you something else."

"No, I have to get back to work after eating."

Zhao Leiting licked his greasy lips and said, "Okay. Thank you."

"I have to thank you."

"Why are you thanking me? This meal is so cheap. You can just buy it tonight."

Meng Siqi smiled, squatted beside him, imitated his movements, picked up the lunch box, and ate the food. She was not thanking him for the meal, because they often went out on police missions together, and they always treated each other and never cared about these things.

It's just because, after recording my statement with Da Cheng today, Da Cheng said that when you were not there in the morning, there was a quarrel in the conference room. Luo Xiaoguo and Zhao Leiting were arguing fiercely because of your late arrival.

Da Cheng said that Zhao Leiting stood up for you and he was like your loyal guardian, regardless of everything.

This police station is very small, so if something happened, the news would spread throughout the entire police station. At the time, the door of the conference room was open, and if the noise was loud, colleagues passing by the conference room would definitely hear it clearly, and it would only take a few minutes for the news to reach Dacheng's ears.

Although Da Cheng was impatient, he also knew that if this matter was not clarified, Meng Siqi would suffer, so he rushed to the conference room and explained everything in disguise.

This is what happened this morning. Meng Siqi was grateful in her heart for their silent help. While she was eating fast food, her eyes were slightly moist.

Because she works hard to do what she wants to do, flowers are slowly blooming wherever she walks.

After dinner, Zhao Leiting collected her lunch box and put it in the trash. Meng Siqi returned to her busy work.

Time passed slowly, and her pen tip overlapped on a name: Li Muxiao, an employee of the Kekexili Tourism Company, with one year of work experience, 25 years old, male, unmarried, 1.75 meters tall, and fond of anime and sports.

He took two days off. On March 25, the day before the crime, when the forensic doctor determined the victim's death time, he took one day off.

Yesterday, March 26th, the day the incident occurred, the day the museum opened, I took another day off.

His main job is flower care and transportation, so the information in all aspects is really consistent.
