Flower Museum Headless Dismemberment Case (8)

Meng Siqi's heart instantly rose to her throat. She quickly handed the underlined information to Zhao Leiting. After reading it, he was filled with joy and said slowly, "It can't be him, right?"

In order to enter the museum so efficiently, the most likely person was an insider, and this information was so consistent that it was hard to believe.

If there is any discrepancy, it is that Li Muxiao's handwriting on this document is different from the handwriting on the letter sent to the police station to provoke Lu He. However, this does not explain the problem. Meng Siqi remembers that Jin Yaming can write in many different handwritings.

The truth behind many serious crimes is not complicated. Once you make it too complicated and get stuck in a dead end, you will not be able to solve the case. Moreover, the clues all point to obvious ones, so you have to investigate it anyway.

Meng Siqi remembered something and immediately pulled out Xiao Chou's photo from her notebook. It was her habit to carry photos of suspects with her. Compared with the ID photos in the file, both were thin and had slightly long faces. Although Xiao Chou's makeup was too heavy, their skeletons were similar. At first glance, they were indeed the same person.

Zhao Leiting smiled and said, "If he is really a suspect, Siqi, you have done a great job. You have given our second captain face."

Zhao Leiting's words made Meng Siqi realize that this important clue was indeed discovered by her, and Lu He also discovered it. She took the lead in investigating the clue, and her contribution was indeed the greatest.

Somehow, Lu He seemed to have arranged all of this on purpose.

But she thought again, Lu He gave her the most important clues, he must trust her the most. At this time, she couldn't take credit for it. If she still wanted credit at this time, and divided into Team One and Team Two, wouldn't she be unworthy of Lu He's trust? She calmed down and said, "Zhao Lei Ting, let's go back and report to Lu He immediately. Wait for his instructions."

Zhao Lei Ting said excitedly: "Now the clues are clear, we are fully qualified to arrest Li Muxiao, take him to the police station and report to Lu He, it won't be too late, then Luo Xiaoguo and Yan Chun will be slapped in the face by us."

If what happened in the morning had not happened, Meng Siqi would definitely think that he was inconsiderate, but at this moment she knew that Zhao Leiting was standing up for her.

She couldn't ignore him, but in the face of collective principles, she had to make a choice. She said calmly: "Zhao Leiting, if Li Muxiao is really the murderer, he might have taken precautions long ago. He must be in danger now. There may be something you don't know. Xiao Chou sent a letter to the police this morning to provoke Lu He and the police."

"What did you say?" Zhao Leiting was stunned.

There is nothing to hide about this matter in the police station. Meng Siqi has been busy and forgot to tell him. She tells him now because she wants to say that Xiao Chou may be very dangerous and an action needs to be organized. Moreover, Lu He is at the forefront of this matter and he must be in charge of the unified command.

Zhao Lei Ting quickly understood and nodded, "Siqi, I understand what you mean, then hurry back to the bureau and report to Lu He."

The two returned to the police station quickly. Lu He, Cai Shuangxi, Liang Yunfeng and Lin Tao had also just returned to the police station. After explaining the situation, Lu He made a prompt decision and immediately decided to detain them.

He ordered Cai Shuangxi to apply for an arrest warrant immediately. Zhao Leiting said, "Captain Lu, let's go together."

Lu He said, "You two go take a break, and you two will join me in the interrogation later. How about Siqi, you can preside over the interrogation?"

Zhao Lei Ting said hurriedly: "Captain Lu, let's just do it. Our Siqi interrogation is very powerful."

Meng Siqi felt a little embarrassed. She had indeed participated in some interrogations before, but that didn't mean she did a good job this time.

"Okay." Meng Siqi still agreed. She couldn't let Lu He down.

Lu He looked at his watch and said, "Meet in an hour. I'll go and get him back."

The two nodded and watched Lu He's hurried back as he left. Zhao Leiting's gaze extended for a while, then slowly retracted, with a feeling that something was not yet finished.

Meng Siqi immediately understood his feelings and comforted him, "What are you thinking about? Lu He must be afraid that we are in danger. Let's go back." She turned and walked towards the second team's office.

Zhao Lei Ting followed and whispered in her ear: "Yeah, I also think he was worried that you were in danger. From the moment he hugged you on the train, I felt that Lu He treated you differently." Zhao Lei Ting's tone carried a sense of "sadness".

"No?" Meng Siqi felt very embarrassed for a moment. She couldn't help getting angry. What did Zhao Leiting say? Lu He and she were just ordinary colleagues. She couldn't help but glare at him. "Don't talk nonsense, or I'll kill you."

Zhao Lei Ting raised his hands, "Please spare my life, lady. We are just telling the truth. You are so good-looking. Which single young man in this game doesn't like you? Lu He is also a flesh-and-blood person. By the way, I want to tell you something in secret..."

Meng Siqi wanted to scold him for his inappropriate words, but he suddenly lowered his voice, and he couldn't help but become curious: "What did you say?"

Zhao Lei Ting leaned over and whispered, "I'm not lying to you. After you made great contributions in your unit last year, many single men inquired about your personal situation in the early spring of this year."

Meng Siqi frowned. She had never paid attention to the situation in this game, especially the personal situation, but Zhao Lei Ting was very active and well-informed every day. Maybe he knew something about big and small things. What he said should be true, and there was no need for him to lie to her.

But now she didn't consider the personal situation, so she said calmly: "So, you rejected them all for me."

"Of course I don't have that power. There are leaders here. If someone asks me, I will just tell the truth."

"Tell me the truth?"

"I said, you have someone you like, so tell them not to worry about it."

Meng Siqi was about to refute her that she had no crush on someone, but then she changed her mind and thought that Zhao Leiting's method was very thoughtful. Otherwise, how could she reject others? They were all colleagues, and they would meet each other sooner or later.

She smiled and said, "I am quite satisfied with this answer."

"Isn't it? I'm just thinking about you. But now, I suggest you also consider your personal situation. What if you don't make any movement for a year or so? They will come to ask you again and think I'm lying."

"So you're saying that I should hurry up and find someone to fall in love with?"

"I didn't say that. Of course, if you have this idea, that's great. There are still many excellent people in this game, such as me."

"Come on, Zhao Leiting," Meng Siqi almost wanted to hit him, "Do you have any shame to brag about yourself?"

Zhao Lei Ting made a face and said with a smile: "You really have to hurry up. Recently, a very good girl is planning to pursue me. I am considering it. If you don't seize the opportunity..."

"Okay, please, find a girlfriend to take care of you, or you'll be damned."

"Siqi, seriously, you should consider your personal situation carefully. What I mean is, if you don't consider me, you can also consider Lu He."

Zhao Lei Ting had already walked into the door of the second team's office. At the door, Meng Siqi paused. She had never thought about personal love before, and she dared not imagine Lu He becoming the object of her love. Suddenly, when Zhao Lei Ting said this, many scenes of her and Lu He emerged in her mind.

She remembered that he hugged her twice, although he had no choice, but she remembered his warmth and unique smell deeply.

Lu He and she had had many conversations between the two of them. If they were just colleagues, it was not the case. If they were closer friends, it did not seem like that. Thinking of this, not only did her face get hot, but her heart also felt particularly uncomfortable, as if something was wrong.

After drinking a cup of fruit tea, she calmed herself down and took a long time to calm down and prepare to devote herself to the next interrogation. After all, the interrogation of Li Muxiao might be the key to this case.

She had to quickly sort out her thoughts and make sure the conversation didn't become awkward.

More than half an hour passed, and Zhao Lei Ting walked over cautiously: "Ms. Meng, how are you preparing? The interrogation over there is about to begin."

"It's almost time. Let's go there early."

Meng Siqi packed up her paper and pen and went to the interrogation room. When she opened the door, a young man's face suddenly entered her eyes. She had a preliminary impression of him because of his work photos. When she saw him in person, she became more and more convinced that this man was Xiao Chou.

Just like his ID photo, his cheekbones are slightly protruding and his face is long and thin. Perhaps due to stress or lifestyle habits, his hair is messy and his facial skin is rough.

However, his face is more three-dimensional than in his ID photo. Meng Siqi even sees some sword-like eyebrows and sharp eyes on his face. Such appearance is actually not ordinary, and it is impossible to tell at first glance that he is a villain who kills and dismembers people to create social panic. However, Meng Siqi has a long experience in handling cases and understands that the murderer's appearance is not actually related to the real person.

Just as she was about to step into the middle of the interrogation seat, she found Luo Xiaoguo and Yan Chun sitting there. There was no doubt that Luo Xiaoguo would preside over this interrogation.

Cai Shuangxi was sitting in the recording position. When he saw the two people coming in, he smiled and said, "Xiao Meng, you are here. Team Lu just came back and was called by Director Liu."

"Don't waste time, everyone sit down," Luo Xiaoguo said, "The interrogation will begin immediately."

Zhao Leiting was standing behind Meng Siqi. He suddenly rushed in from beside her. When he was about to speak, Meng Siqi grabbed his collar. She winked at him, meaning him not to get excited.

Zhao Leiting gritted his teeth and slowly lowered his clenched fist.

Meng Siqi slowly walked to Luo Xiaoguo's side, deliberately separating Zhao Leiting from the outside.

She opened the notebook, looked at the pages of prepared questions, quietly turned a page, and turned to a blank new page.

In fact, before working on a case together with the team, Meng Siqi had intentionally or unintentionally gotten to know the members of the team. After all, they were all colleagues in the bureau, and they would see each other every day. It would be very embarrassing if someone greeted you when you met them in normal times and you didn't know them.

She remembered that there were seven people in the team last year. One police officer was transferred at the beginning of this year. The police officer should have been placed in the team by the provincial department or other units for grassroots training.

Luo Xiaoguo is the deputy captain, in his thirties, with a strong personality and good at socializing. Yan Chun is less than thirty years old, has thick hair, parted in the middle, and has a bit of Hong Kong style. He usually pays attention to his image and has a good relationship with Luo Xiaoguo.

Lin Tao is very tall, about the same age as Lu He, about 27 or 28 years old, with a steady look. Although we don't know him well, it's easy to think of him as Tang Xiaochuan. In fact, this type of person is very common in life. They are down-to-earth and steady in their work. It's hard to find any obvious characteristics in them, so they are easily overlooked.

Cai Shuangxi and Liang Yunfeng were the ones she was more familiar with. Cai Shuangxi, who was about the same age as Lin Tao, was often funny and friendly. Liang Yunfeng was a college student who came with Meng Siqi. Although they didn't communicate much, they still had a tacit understanding.

Meng Siqi actually didn't know much about Team One. It was just a superficial impression. Team One also didn't know much about her, especially Luo Xiaoguo. Luo Xiaoguo's impression of her might just be that there was a new female police officer in Team Two who won a third-class merit at the end of last year.

Therefore, when Team One and Team Two were originally "incompatible", Meng Siqi felt that Luo Xiaoguo's targeting of her was in line with "tradition". However, everyone was working on the case, and solving the case was the most important thing. Meng Siqi did not want to confront each other over these trivial matters.

"Hey, why don't you close the door? Xiao Cai, close it." Luo Xiaoguo gave the order, and Cai Shuangxi immediately stood up and closed the door.

The interrogation room suddenly fell silent. Luo Xiaoguo raised his voice and asked, "Name?"

Li Muxiao raised his head, his eyes flashing with stubbornness, and looked at him unconvinced.

Luo Xiaoguo picked up the notebook and slammed the table, saying in a stern voice: "Why, you don't know your own name?"

"Li Muxiao."

"gender?"

"You can't tell."

Luo Xiaoguo slapped the notebook again, "Behave yourself, Li Muxiao, do you think the police dare not take action?"

"You can try."

Luo Xiaoguo stood up suddenly, but was quickly stopped by Yan Chun, "Deputy Luo, Deputy Luo."

Luo Xiaoguo sat down slowly and warned the person on the other side: "I'm warning you, Li Muxiao, just because I'm in a good mood today doesn't mean you'll be comfortable."

Li Muxiao remained silent, but his posture while sitting in the chair was not straight, with his chin slightly raised, revealing an expression of unwillingness to cooperate and disdain.

"Where did you go yesterday morning?" Luo Xiaoguo asked, "Tell me every detail clearly."

"I took a day off yesterday. I was not feeling well. I am taking a rest."

"Rest? You asked for two days off, the two most critical days. Didn't you know that your company was going to hold an exhibition during these two days? You asked for leave during such an important period? Even if you were lying, you had to find a reasonable excuse."

"Officer, what kind of activities are going on at the company? That has nothing to do with me. I'm not feeling well, so I can do whatever I want."

"You're still making sense. Fine, tell us everything you did from the morning of the day before yesterday to yesterday afternoon. Remember, lies have loopholes. Don't blame me for not reminding you."

Meng Siqi had already calmed down. Zhao Leiting suddenly came over and whispered in her ear, "I'm afraid you won't get anything out of this question."

Meng Siqi turned her head slightly, pursed her lips and smiled faintly, but did not respond to him.

In fact, she did not question Luo Xiaoguo's interrogation method. Everyone has a different interrogation method. Interrogation is sometimes a confrontation of momentum. The interrogator's emotions do not represent his own emotions. Luo Xiaoguo's behavior was obviously because Li Muxiao was highly uncooperative, so he wanted to suppress him in momentum.

Of course, even if she was not the one conducting the interrogation, she still had to pay close attention. After all, the suspect's every expression and attitude in answering questions could be a signal. The suspect might lie, but she could always find loopholes in his emotions, movements, and the logic of his confession.

Li Muxiao smiled, his face revealing extreme calmness: "Let me think about it, and try not to miss any details."

A minute later, Luo Xiaoguo patted his notebook and said in a stern voice: "Want to delay? Let me tell you, this case is very serious. You and the suspect have a high degree of information overlap. You can't get out within 24 hours... Just tell me, I'll give you one day to tell me. There's no point in delaying!"

Li Muxiao slowly spoke, "I had a slight fever the day before yesterday, so I took a day off this morning. I went to the pharmacy to buy some medicine and slept for a whole day. I slept all the way until the next day, but my head still hurt, so I took another day off."

"Li Muxiao, do you think you have an alibi like this?" Luo Xiaoguo said sternly.

Li Muxiao said: "Go ask the pharmacy where I bought the medicine."

The air was silent for a while, and Meng Siqi tore off a piece of white paper. A crisp sound came from the silent space. Meng Siqi pushed the paper and pen to Li Muxiao and said, "Write down the name of the pharmacy, the name of the medicine, the dosage, and who sold you the medicine at the time. We will check it out."

Li Muxiao picked up a pen and paper and wrote as he spoke: "It was a female doctor in her forties. I don't know her."

Luo Xiaoguo glanced at Meng Siqi without saying anything. When he saw that the words on the paper had been written, he added, "Shuangxi, go back and take Xiao Meng and the others to check it out together."

"Okay, Deputy Luo."

He looked at Li Muxiao again and said sternly, "How do I know if you did anything else after buying the medicine?"

Li Muxiao said: "You went to my house, did you find anything? The head you mentioned? I don't know anything at all."

Luo Xiaoguo sneered: "This doesn't mean you didn't kill anyone. I haven't even asked you where you threw the head. I warn you, you keep provoking the police and the image of this city. You think I don't know your behavior. You are a typical antisocial personality. You blame this and that for the slightest dissatisfaction in life. I can tell at a glance where you live. You are a otaku, a otaku full of fantasies and inferiority. You are dissatisfied with society because of the unsatisfactory life and want to retaliate against society."

Li Muxiao's lips curled slightly: "Officer, you can't always rely on your imagination to solve cases."

"Evidence, huh? You thought we had no evidence, Lao Yan, show him the evidence."

Yan Chun immediately took something out from the bag under the seat. Meng Siqi turned around and took a look. It was a set of clothes, a mainly red-colored set.

Yan Chun stood up and opened his clothes, revealing an ugly suit on the table. However, this ugly suit was a little different from the ugly suit in the museum. Although the ugly suits in the museum came in many colors, blue was the main color, while this one was more red, and the style and pattern of the clothes were also different.

Luo Xiaoguo sneered: "Li Muxiao, what do you want to say when you see this dress?"

"I don't have anything to say. I think a lot of people have this kind of clothes."

"Many people have it? Who has nothing better to buy ugly clothes to wear?" Luo Xiaoguo slammed his notebook on the table. "You have this kind of clothes, and you are an employee of the Kekexili Tourism Company. Your height and face shape are the same as the suspect. You took a leave of absence two days after the incident. All the evidence points to you. You said that many people have this kind of clothes? How do you explain it?"

Li Muxiao did not show any sign of panic. "I am short of money. After get off work, I usually wear this kind of clothes to sell balloon candied haws outside the mall. I don't know what's wrong with what I do. Could it be that you regard me as the murderer because of some coincidence?"

Luo Xiaoguo stood up suddenly and pointed at him, "You still want to make excuses, right?"

"Even if you torture me, I will still say this. You have no evidence, so I am right."

Unexpectedly, the suspect was extremely calm. After Luo Xiaoguo stood up, his hands stopped in mid-air, not knowing whether to raise them or put them down. Most importantly, the other party mentioned "torture and forced confession", which made Luo Xiaoguo not know how to deal with him for a while.

The interrogation room suddenly became very dull, and even awkward. Meng Siqi had been collecting information about the suspect. She had written quite a bit and had many questions, but it would be inappropriate to make a scene in this situation. Perhaps she could raise them during the next interrogation.

At this moment, the door of the silent interrogation room was pushed open by a sound, and light shone in, making the incandescent light environment in the interrogation room a little brighter.

Everyone looked back, and Meng Siqi found Lu He standing at the door. He was holding the door handle with one hand, his posture was dignified, and his sharp eyes were looking into the room.

Soon, he and Meng Siqi's eyes met from a distance. In his eyes, the sharp light was restrained a little.

He walked in, closed the door, took a chair and sat on the outermost side. He asked in a low and calm voice, "How was the review?"

Luo Xiaoguo said: "Team Lu, I won't recruit you, even if I die."

Lu He said, "Meng Siqi, please continue the trial."

Luo Xiaoguo turned his head and looked at Lu He's cold profile, revealing an expression of unwillingness to believe. Yan Chun was stunned for a second, then gently patted Luo Xiaoguo's sleeve and winked at him, meaning that Team Lu might not know who was the referee, so don't make it public yet.

Luo Xiaoguo turned his head and looked at the suspect who had a negative attitude and was uncooperative. He couldn't help but sigh. What could she find out?
