Piranha Plant (2)

When Meng Siqi was sorting documents at her desk, she found Feng Shaomin walking towards her. She immediately stopped writing, not knowing whether to keep the matter she was investigating secret. She unconsciously raised her hands to cover the words below.

She remembered that this was the first time Feng Shaomin came to see her. She felt a little uneasy. Before he even came to the table, she stood up and asked him, "Master, are you looking for me?"

Feng Shaomin had a cold expression, without any emotion written on his face. He just raised his hand and waved to her, "Xiao Meng, come with me to the conference room and bring your notebook."

He turned around and headed towards the office door. Meng Siqi quickly took his notebook and followed closely.

Zhao Lei Ting guessed that his private investigation had been discovered by Feng Shaomin. He looked at Meng Siqi's thin back and bit his lip helplessly.

On the way to the meeting room, Meng Siqi's mind was full of thoughts. She also felt that Feng Shaomin must have discovered that she was investigating the Sun Beizhe kidnapping case. He might have some opinions about her private investigation, so he wanted to talk to her in private.

Although private investigations are not in compliance with regulations, she cannot think of a better solution under the current circumstances, so she will just have to deal with it as it comes.

Feng Shaomin went into the office and sat down. When he saw her come in, he said, "Close the door."

Meng Siqi quickly closed the door. This conference room was not big and was a temporary office. Director Liu usually did not hold meetings here. Emergency meetings would be arranged here, so there were equipment such as crime boards and projectors.

There was a rectangular table with about a dozen seats, and Meng Siqi sat next to Feng Shaomin with a space between them.

"Xiao Meng, can I take a look at the notes on Jin Yaming's case?"

It turned out to be the Jin Yaming case. Meng Siqi sighed, but she had written down the notes of the Jin Yaming case and the Sun Beizhe case together. She had to respond to the situation and quickly turned to the first page of the notes of the Jin Yaming case. She reminded him intentionally: "Master, I have written five pages. Please take a look."

Feng Shaomin took the notebook, held it in his palm, and read it closely. Meng Siqi discovered that he had slight presbyopia, but it was not serious.

His eyes were focused, wandering over the words in the notebook. As his rough-skinned fingers turned the pages, he soon reached the last page. Feng Shaomin's expression was calm, but his eyes were focused and there was a slight squeeze between his brows. He must be analyzing the details in the notebook.

He flicked his fingers lightly and the notebook turned to the next page. The next page recorded Sun Beizhe's name. Meng Siqi's heart sank, thinking that now there should be an explanation.

However, Feng Shaomin just turned the page, paused for a second or two without reading, then closed the notebook and handed it to her.

Meng Siqi took the notebook and felt calm as if the item had been returned to its original owner. She did not say anything, waiting for Feng Shaomin to speak. She turned to a blank page and clenched the pen.

Feng Shaomin changed his previous calmness and showed a faint smile, but compared with his previous face that always showed deep hatred and resentment, this rare smile made Meng Siqi feel a sense of friendliness.

"Xiao Meng, you have made great progress." Feng Shaomin actually gave him praise.

Meng Siqi's heart, which was still a little tense, suddenly began to boil. Since she joined the second team, Feng Shaomin had never praised her. In the beginning, he was even dissatisfied. This simple praise made Meng Siqi feel indescribably excited. She pursed her lips and took a long time to respond: "Master, thank you, thank you."

Feng Shaomin glanced at her notebook with a cold gaze. "Your notes are very detailed and well analyzed. I can see that you have been profiling the criminal suspect's criminal motives and criminal behavior. This is the quality that a qualified police officer should have."

Meng Siqi usually reads books on criminal psychology and is also slogging through books on criminal investigation. Psychological profiling of criminal suspects is an important term in criminal psychology, which aims to profile the criminal motives and behaviors of criminal suspects through various information about them.

Some powerful psychological profilers can even empathize with the psychological world of criminal suspects. Although she is far from being able to do that, she is still exploring the criminal suspects' criminal motives and behaviors through her own understanding.

Being praised by Feng Shaomin was the best reward for her hard work. She felt that her efforts were not in vain and that her efforts had paid off. She hurriedly said, "Thank you, Master. I still have a lot to learn. Master, please feel free to criticize and correct me in the future."

Feng Shaomin nodded, his mood changed a little, "Xiao Meng, there is one more thing I want to tell you."

"Master, please speak."

"Did you come up with anything different in your interrogation of Jin Yaming?"

Meng Siqi was originally very happy, but suddenly she felt a little uneasy. Feng Shaomin suddenly mentioned "discovery", which made her feel that he seemed to have discovered something as well.

Jin Yaming's interrogation was a bit strange, and the timing or reason for his confession seemed puzzling, but he finally confessed, and the case has been closed. But her doubts have always been hanging in her mind. She always thought that it was because she didn't understand it thoroughly that she had that idea. When Feng Shaomin brought it up, she had to pick up that idea again.

"Master, are you trying to say that there was something wrong with the process of Jin Yaming's confession?" Meng Siqi asked cautiously. She didn't think Jin Yaming's confession was easy, nor did she think it was too tortuous. It was just that the timing was wrong.

Feng Shaomin said: "In fact, I didn't think there was anything wrong at first. Many suspects confess because they are out of control. You did a good job that day. But I didn't think there was a problem until Jin Yaming went to the scene to identify the body."

Identification of the corpse dumping scene? Meng Siqi had been walking along the river bank that day. She didn't find anything wrong, but she couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Feng Shaomin said: "Jin Yaming removed the clothes of the deceased when he dumped the body, fearing that the body would float and be recognized. I actually had no doubts, but the wristband and the word 'Xiang' engraved on it made me a little suspicious, and there was also the ID card in the clothes..."

Later, after Hu Dingxiang's belongings were brought back to the police station, the trace examiner found an ID card in her trouser pocket, which was Hu Dingxiang's.

"I think he has done too much." Feng Shaomin's words made Meng Siqi suddenly realize. Yes, Jin Yaming obviously wanted to destroy the body, so why did he leave such an obvious loophole? This really didn't fit his logic.

Feng Shaomin's eyes lit up as he analyzed the problem. "I've dealt with similar cases before. A suspect turned himself in and confessed to the murder. He also described the whole incident fluently. The case was almost closed at the time, but the suspect left a piece of unnecessary evidence that made us suspicious. Later, we checked and found that the suspect was not the murderer. The murderer was finally determined to be the suspect's son."

He concluded: "Adding unnecessary details will inevitably reveal the truth."

Meng Siqi immediately understood Feng Shaomin's thoughts. Jin Yaming's actions were undoubtedly the same as what Feng Shaomin called "adding legs to a snake". In other words, Jin Yaming might be intentionally hiding something. Perhaps he was not the one who committed the crime and he was just a scapegoat, or maybe he was the murderer, but there were more than one murderer.

The reason why he exposed the physical evidence so obviously was simply because he hoped that the police would convict him as soon as possible in order to eliminate other suspects.

Through this interrogation, it is natural for people to wonder whether Jin Yaming's girlfriend Song Xinran was involved.

Meng Siqi said seriously: "Master, I understand everything. Do you also suspect that there is something wrong with his girlfriend Song Xinran?"

Feng Shaomin said cautiously: "Yes, but any speculation requires evidence. It would be too selfish to deny my speculation."

Meng Siqi knew that his master was a very cautious person, so he suggested: "Master, let me go investigate."

Feng Shaomin paused, as if thinking for a moment before saying, "Okay, you and Zhao Leiting will go together to further investigate the Jin Yaming case. I will tell the Han team that you must pay attention to safety during the investigation. Everything should be based on understanding. If you need to confront the suspect directly, you must tell me and the Han team in advance."

"Okay, Master, I'll remember this, don't worry."

When leaving the house, Feng Shaomin stopped again and looked back at her, his eyes revealing a subtle concern, "Xiao Meng, you must pay attention to safety. If you encounter any obstacles, come to me at any time."

"I understand, Master." Meng Siqi answered earnestly, and hoped that her master would trust her.

After returning, Meng Siqi told Zhao Leiting about this matter. Zhao Leiting said that he would first understand Song Xinran's basic situation and then formulate the direction of the investigation.

She remembered that Zhao Leiting also had a nickname "Dongchang Zhuge". Although it was a joke, after spending some time together, she had already discovered that Zhao Leiting was good at collecting information and was an insider, so she believed that he could find out some useful information.

Sure enough, in less than two days, Zhao Leiting collected a full page of information and placed it directly on her desk with a proud look. Meng Siqi gave him a standard professional smile and immediately picked up the paper to take a look.

Both of Song Xinran's parents' professions are related to medicine. Her father is a Chinese medicine practitioner and her mother is a nurse. Her family environment destined her to be associated with medicine.

Song Xinran lived up to public expectations and graduated from a very good medical college. She majored in clinical medicine, which was considered an outstanding talent in this era. Generally, after graduation, she could work in hospitals in various provinces and cities.

But Song Xinran's resume was blank. She did not look for a job after graduation. The information Zhao Leiting collected said that she was a freelancer. Four years later, that is, last year, she entered a drugstore as a pharmacist, which is her current job.

Jin Yaming is Song Xinran's college classmate. They are not in the same major. Jin Yaming majored in medical imaging, but after graduation he did not continue to practice medicine, but opened a photo studio.

In college, Song Xinran was pursued by many people, and Zhao Leiting listed all of them. She was also the vice president of the student union for a year and was considered a celebrity in the school.

After graduation, she seemed a little dull and even puzzled. She had a four-year window after graduation. What was the reason for her freelance work during these four years? It was undoubtedly an important secret. Meng Siqi pointed at this information and looked up and asked, "This has not been found out, right?"

"I actually wondered what she was doing during those four years, but I heard some rumors."

"Rumors?"

"Yes, I heard some gossip that Song Xinran seemed to have been a mistress to someone else."

"Mistress?" Meng Siqi's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Song Xinran had disappeared for the past four years and became someone's mistress?

"This person is Fu Song'an. He was an associate professor at the School of Medicine and Song Xinran's university tutor. But he disappeared last year when he went to Southeast Asia for technical exchange. There has been no news of him since then."

The more Meng Siqi listened, the more she felt that this matter was not simple. Last year, Song Xinran ended her freelance job and became a pharmacist. Also last year, her mentor Fu Songan disappeared abroad. Is there any connection between the two?

Maybe she was just a mistress until one day she was forced to end this kind of life because Fu Song'an disappeared, so she found a new job.

Jin Yaming and Song Xinran were college classmates and had a close relationship, so something must have happened between the three of them.

It is unknown whether it will be a bloody story of love and hate, pursuit and killing, but at least for now, Fu Songan is the breakthrough point of this matter.

Although he is missing, perhaps by visiting him we can restore Song Xinran's life in the past four years. Perhaps that is the unspeakable secret between her and Jin Yaming.
