Murder in a locked room bed and breakfast (16)

Although she explained her idea and got Feng Shaomin's support, Feng Shaomin still ordered her to finish the noodles first.

Meng Siqi ate very quickly because she wanted to confirm her guess quickly. As a result, the noodles choked her when she was eating. She desperately covered her mouth with her hands and coughed a few times.

"I told you to eat slowly. The evidence won't disappear." Zhao Leiting took a napkin and handed it to her.

Meng Siqi patted his chest and drank half of the remaining noodle soup.

After wiping his mouth, Zhao Leiting got into the car first and started the car. At about 4 pm, Xu Liang would be released, and the next summons to Xu Liang must not be less than 12 hours, but Meng Siqi did not want to wait any longer, she wanted to bring Xu Liang to justice this afternoon.

After collecting physical evidence at the B&B, it was urgently sent to the technical department for inspection. Feng Shaomin specifically reminded Wang Wei that this was the most important task, and Wang Wei readily agreed.

In a blink of an eye, it was three o'clock, and there was only one hour left. Meng Siqi kept staring at the clock, waiting for Wang Wei's reply.

Zhao Leiting returned to the office again and came to comfort her: "Don't worry, Wang Wei said it will be done soon. He is more cautious and wants to have complete evidence, right?"

Meng Siqi smiled and nodded. In the morning, Tang Xiaochuan visited Xu Liang's roommate Hao Chunlai again, but did not get any particularly useful information from Hao Chunlai. She copied all of Hao Chunlai's confession into her notebook to facilitate the interrogation of Xu Liang later.

As time passed, Meng Siqi's heart beat faster and faster. She saw Feng Shaomin go to the tea room to change the water many times. He must have been nervous too.

This is not only because Xu Liang's detention time is about to end. Even if it ends and evidence is found, Xu Liang can still be brought to justice. She is worried that her guess will eventually fail, and then Xu Liang will escape the law.

Tick, tick... There was only half an hour left. Meng Siqi stroked her forehead with her hand, feeling a sense of uneasiness gripping her heart.

Time passed, twenty-seven, twenty-six, twenty-five... In order to save time, Feng Shaomin asked Tang Xiaochuan to bring Xu Liang to the interrogation room in advance and wait for the results from the technical department.

Tang Xiaochuan opened the door of the interrogation room and turned on the light. He took Xu Liang to his seat. This was a closed space with the words "Leniency to those who confess, severity to those who resist" written on the wall. However, Xu Liang in front of him had a calm expression on his face. He seemed to have realized that in more than 20 minutes, he would be able to walk out of the interrogation room safely.

Tang Xiaochuan looked at his watch. It was already three forty, with only twenty minutes left. If Meng Siqi and the others didn't come, the interrogation would probably end before it even started.

According to the procedures, they could not forcibly detain Xu Liang here.

"What's wrong, officer?" Xu Liang smiled, "Are you a little impatient?"

His expression was particularly naughty. Tang Xiaochuan, who was originally a calm person, was also irritated by him, "Behave yourself! It's not the last minute yet, what are you so proud of!"

"Okay, I'll wait until the last minute. I want to see what kind of people you are."

Tang Xiaochuan bit his back teeth and really wanted to rush forward and punch him, but as a police officer, he had to endure it and maintain an impartial attitude.

As Xu Liang's sly smile was on his face and he was furious, he heard hurried footsteps at the door. Tang Xiaochuan's heart skipped a beat. They were finally here, but at this point, Tang Xiaochuan was worried. They did not have enough evidence and were just making a last attempt. If it was just an attempt, with Xu Liang's attitude, he would not plead guilty easily. He estimated that he would make a few sarcastic remarks when he left the interrogation room.

Zhao Leiting walked in front and entered the door first. He and Tang Xiaochuan made eye contact.

Meng Siqi was walking in the middle. As soon as she entered the door, her eyes met Xu Liang's.

Xu Liang is thin, with very short hair and tight facial features that seem to have not fully grown. His skin is rough and dark yellow, probably due to work pressure and malnutrition. There are wrinkles between his brows, which does not look like what he should have at his age.

She found that Xu Liang's expression was completely different from when she asked at the B&B that day. At the B&B that day, Feng Shaomin asked Hao Chunlai and Xu Liang one after another. At that time, Xu Liang was just like Hao Chunlai, very shy, and spoke softly. In Hao Chunlai's eyes, he was also such a gentle person.

But at this moment, Xu Liang was sitting with a crooked posture, his face full of disdain, and even a sarcastic smile on the corner of his mouth.

She understood Xu Liang. He had a roller coaster childhood. Before the age of ten, he might be a simple and kind-hearted child, just like the impression he gave people. But after the age of ten, he began to change slowly. It might be forced, but he did become very complicated. His attitude and methods towards his stepfather showed that his psychology was distorted.

Sitting upright opposite Xu Liang, Meng Siqi opened the notebook. Next to her, three people sat down next to each other. The door of the interrogation room was closed tightly. The enclosed space instantly became stagnant and the atmosphere became solemn.

Xu Liang, however, still maintained a cynical attitude.

Meng Siqi only has fifteen minutes, and she must make Xu Liang confess within fifteen minutes.

So she asked without much preparation: "Xu Liang, your real name is Kong Yang, Yang means sunshine, and you are the son of Kong Qushan. Kong Qushan was an outstanding worker at the once glorious Dandelion Textile Factory."

"Hmph," Xu Liang said with disdain in his nasal voice, "It's been several days and you just found out about this information. Tell me quickly, I can't wait." He spread out one hand and told the other party with a look of vain expectation that he couldn't wait to hear what came next.

Meng Siqi had her own thoughts, and she would never be misled by Xu Liang's words. She said calmly, "Eight years ago, your father Kong Qushan ostensibly went to collect wages for the factory workers, but in fact he took away more than 200,000 yuan that the factory had prepared for the workers. He fled to Hong Kong with the money, and there has been no news of him for so many years. Do you miss him?"

Xu Liang's eccentric expression gradually calmed down, covered with a layer of heaviness brought by that tragic year. His expression was very complicated. He seemed to be cynical and immersed in grief. However, he seemed to comfort himself and smiled lightly. "So, this is the result of your investigation? Do you think this is the truth of that year?"

"The truth is no longer important."

"Not important?" Xu Liang suddenly stood up, with a hint of anger and sarcasm on his face, "This is how you handle cases. Is this what people's police are like?"

The truth must be important. Meng Siqi was just "correcting" the atmosphere of the interrogation. If Xu Liang had not cooperated, the interrogation would have been delayed. It is obvious that her strategy worked.

She was calm and serious, her tone was like a swordsman drawing a sword: "So, you know the truth? If you know the truth, why don't you say it out loud? Are you a coward? For so many years, you watched your father being called a despicable person by others, you watched your mother being chased by debt collectors and unable to breathe, you watched Xu Mengkun bully your mother into a punching bag, what about you? What did you do?"

"Shut up! Shut up!" Xu Liang was suddenly emotional, his eyes turned terribly red, he pounded the table violently, pounding it hard, like a madman, making the table make a dull sound.

His originally wrinkled brows became even more twisted and even a little bit ferocious because of his abnormal emotions. Meng Siqi could imagine that his adoptive father Xu Mengkun must have had the same expression when he broke his thigh.

"Calm down!" Feng Shaomin stood up suddenly, his voice stern.

This scene filled the entire hot interrogation room with a layer of frost. Zhao Leiting and Tang Xiaochuan held their breath for a moment, not even taking a breath.

Xu Liang finally calmed down. He stopped pounding the table and roaring, but his whole body was shaking irregularly as he sat in the chair.

Feng Shaomin received Meng Siqi's proposal in advance. She wanted to use this method to quickly bring Xu Liang into the emotional scene. Her approach was right. As long as Xu Liang's emotional "trap" was triggered, Xu Liang would definitely confess when faced with evidence.

Meng Siqi did not expect Xu Liang to be so emotional. This was in line with her expectations, but also not in line with them. She thought Xu Liang had designed the secret room case, and he should be extremely calm, but it was obvious that he was a "slave" to his emotions at this moment.

Therefore, she thinks Xu Liang should have two personalities, one is the stagnant water hidden underground, and the other is the fire of a volcanic eruption. Many people have two personalities, and it depends on whether you turn on this switch.

Now, Xu Liang has turned on the "switch", so Meng Siqi feels that the time is almost right and it is time to present evidence.

When Xu Liang was shaking all over, she said very calmly: "Xu Liang, you have always been brooding over your father Kong Qushan's 'leaving without saying goodbye'. You think this matter has a lot to do with Long Shanwen and Gui Xiangyang. If I am not mistaken, Long Shanwen and Gui Xiangyang should have been dating at the time. You think your father did not run away with the money, but was framed by the two of them. You wanted to restore the truth of your father's injustice, so you set up a puzzle. In the early morning of February 24, you killed Long Shanwen, but used her blood to draw a symbol on the ground, which is the logo of the Dandelion Textile Factory..."

At this point, Xu Liang's cheeks gradually tightened, and his eyes were filled with surprise and excitement.

Meng Siqi was wondering why he had such an expression?

He was surprised that the mystery he had set was solved. He just wanted to guide others to investigate the truth of eight years ago. The symbol he drew with Long Shanwen's finger was also deciphered, and it was accurate.

But he was excited. His father might be vindicated. As long as the truth was revealed, he would have completed his plan. He was probably looking forward to the day when his father would be vindicated.

Meng Siqi was right. Xu Liang, who had a tense expression on his face, smiled again: "Great, beautiful police officer, I underestimated you. I beg you, tell me what I did that day, how I killed Long Shanwen? You won't tell me, these are all your guesses, right?"

Xu Liang's face showed a shabby look again, so much so that Tang Xiaochuan clenched his fists and really wanted to go up and beat him up, but the time on his watch told him that there might only be five minutes left.

There could be no more delay. He and Zhao Lei Ting looked at Meng Siqi almost at the same time. What was coming next was the key to this interrogation. Meng Siqi must provide fatal evidence. They were worried about Meng Siqi.

Although Feng Shaomin knows that evidence has been obtained, he cannot convict Xu Liang with certainty. He thinks that Xu Liang was able to design such a sophisticated closed-room murder case, and he is also capable of facing the interrogation with meticulousness. However, he still hopes that Meng Siqi will give the most deadly counterattack.

"So you want to know the evidence?" Meng Siqi acted calmer than ever.

She looked at Xu Liang coldly, as if she had seen through everything he was thinking. Even though Xu Liang was still like a stubborn stone and responded to her with disdainful eyes, this stubborn stone was like transparent glass in Meng Siqi's eyes.

Whether it is glaze or impurities, you can see it clearly!

"I'm sorry, if I'm not mistaken, it should have been more than 20 minutes since I entered the interrogation room."

Xu Liang smiled and said, "You have no evidence, so I will leave first. I hope you can investigate my father's case carefully, okay, beautiful police officer?"

"There are still five minutes left, why are you in such a hurry!" Feng Shaomin gave the order coldly.

"Okay, five minutes, thank you, thank you for the reminder! I'm so looking forward to confessing!"

Meng Siqi said: "Xu Liang, I will tell you one by one now..."

The five-minute countdown officially begins!
