Piranha Plant (5)

She once suspected that Song Xinran might have been forced and controlled by Fu Songan and forced to work here for four years; or the two had already developed feelings for each other while in school and therefore met here.

This table arrangement at least dispelled the first idea, which is that it is difficult for Fu Song'an to control Song Xinran. His sight is not on Song Xinran, which means that he cannot control Song Xinran. Song Xinran should have worked here for four years completely voluntarily.

The arrangement of the table made Meng Siqi realize that Song Xinran might have always been paying attention to Fu Songan, and she might be deeply in love with him. As for whether Fu Songan accepted this love, it was unknown.

Zhao Lei Ting didn't seem to notice anything. He muttered, "They are all professional books."

Meng Siqi stood up from her chair and wanted to check Fu Song'an's workbench together. She had just taken two steps when she suddenly felt dizzy. The picture in front of her eyes changed. Where Zhao Leiting was standing bent over, a young man in a white uniform appeared. It was like an old film reel, and the young man was holding a pen and writing something.

However, the next second, a white shadow passed through her body. It was the figure of a young woman. Her long black hair reflected the halo of the light, and she was wearing the same white uniform as the man.

The woman walked behind the man and suddenly raised her hand. A silver light flashed and Meng Siqi saw clearly that it was a scalpel.

In an instant, the knife penetrated the man's back very deeply and went straight through his chest.

The man slowly turned his head, his face showing pain, shock and disbelief.

The picture suddenly stopped. Meng Siqi didn't see the man's face clearly, it was a little blurry. There was only the back of the woman, so it was even more impossible to see her face clearly.

But her first thought was that this woman was Song Xinran and this man was Fu Songan.

This scene brought strong aftershocks, and Meng Siqi instinctively held his forehead with his fist to prevent dizziness.

Although he had experienced the scene again and again, Meng Siqi still felt a little scared when facing the crime scene of the murder.

"Siqi, what's wrong with you?"

Zhao Lei Ting asked, obviously noticing that it was a little unusual for Meng Siqi to be standing there.

"It's nothing. Maybe I just got too excited." Meng Siqi smiled slightly, which also relieved his panic.

"I've been too tired lately, investigating one thing after another. Do you think there's anything else you want to see? I'll treat you to dinner tonight."

"Okay." Meng Siqi smiled, "I haven't had a good meal for a long time."

"Eat as much as you want today. You can order any beef or mutton you want."

Meng Siqi was about to answer when his eyes accidentally touched the cold organ specimens. He suddenly felt a chill. How could they talk about food? It was totally inappropriate for this kind of occasion.

In the evening, Zhao Leiting treated everyone to a meal. They didn't order any beef or mutton. It was a very simple noodle restaurant. Meng Siqi kept thinking about that scene. She didn't have any evidence in her hand, and it was impossible for her to tell Zhao Leiting all this. Her mind was not on the meal at all. She said she had to go home and rest. She finished her meal in a hurry and made an appointment to treat everyone next time.

When they parted, Zhao Leiting suggested that he go back and report to the bureau whether Fu Songan's private studio had any problems with its nature or illegality. Meng Siqi also had this idea, and she nodded happily.

On the bus on the way home, Meng Si looked at the neon lights outside the window and thought about the affairs of Song Xinran and Fu Songan. Fu Songan was clearly murdered, so why did he end up missing abroad? The information was so different. Could it be that Song Xinran also had the ability to reverse space?

Moreover, she clearly noticed that Song Xinran loved Fu Songan deeply, so why did she kill him? What was the relationship between them? Why did Song Xinran suffer for four years and end up like this?

There were too many mysteries to solve, and Meng Siqi intuitively felt that his already scarce brain cells were constantly being consumed and exploding.

However, she also had a new understanding of what she saw today. In the past, she could sense images from corpses, and she thought it was guided by magnetic fields. Later, she could sense images from the murderer, and she thought she had captured his memory. Now, she can directly sense crime scenes that happened a long time ago. This seems to indicate that her abilities are diverse, and perhaps she will be able to sense more in the future.

The next afternoon, as she was organizing her notes, Zhao Leiting suddenly walked to her desk and lowered his voice: "Siqi, are you free to go to the karaoke bar where Sun Beizhe disappeared?"

Meng Siqi then remembered that they were investigating two cases at the same time. Song Xinran was another suspect in the Hu Dingxiang case, and it was Feng Shaomin and Team Han who asked them to investigate him; while the Sun Beizhe case was investigated secretly by the two of them, so it was usually not made public.

"Okay, let's go there after work." Meng Siqi felt that going to a place like a karaoke bar during the day would easily arouse suspicion of one's identity, and he estimated that they wouldn't be able to find out anything, so going at dusk was just the right time.

In the evening, neon lights begin to rise. Jinyang City is a prefecture-level city. Although it is not rich, it has a population of millions. Once night falls, the downtown area is bustling with traffic and red lights flashing, as lively as a dragon dance. However, the address of Jinyang City Public Security Bureau is not in the city center, but between the city center and the suburbs, which is also convenient for police response.

The karaoke bar where Sun Beizhe disappeared was in the city. Zhao Leiting and Meng Siqi took a taxi. The traffic was extremely congested along the way, and it was already seven or eight o'clock when they arrived there.

This karaoke bar is located on a busy street. Meng Siqi looked around from the door and found that the storefront decoration was quite high-end in that era.

"You have to open your collar one button." Zhao Leiting whispered.

Meng Siqi understood what he meant. This place was not frequented by serious people, so they certainly couldn't dress as conservatively as she did. She smiled and said, "Come on, you know everything, don't you?"

Zhao Leiting just smiled and didn't mention it again.

There was a reception when we entered. The lights inside were dim, and the loud music and voices intertwined together, coming from deep inside, stimulating our eardrums.

After walking through a dark corridor, Meng Siqi secretly unbuttoned the top button of his shirt. In a blink of an eye, the flashing light pollution suddenly invaded. This was a closed space, a large space, and people were moving.

In the middle is a large dance floor. Colorful light balls emit colorful lights, illuminating the dance floor. Men and women in the dance floor are releasing their fatigue and wildness, shaking their bodies desperately.

Around the dance floor, there are small tables and sofa suites, and waiters are constantly serving drinks.

In addition to the noise, light pollution, alcohol, and love and sex, Meng Siqi really can't find a better adjective, and the word that can more easily summarize this place is the nightclub of the early years.

The lighting in the nightclub was dim and colored lights were flashing constantly, so it was very difficult to see a person's face clearly. It was also very noisy here and no one would pay special attention to other people's whereabouts.

That night Sun Beizhe came to the "nightclub". Meng Siqi guessed that his purpose was to have fun, and then he took a fancy to a mysterious woman sitting alone at a table. That woman must have a kind of charm that attracted Sun Beizhe. After he chatted with her, he may have revealed his identity and even boasted that he was a rich kid, which made the mysterious woman want to kidnap him.

This was what Meng Siqi thought of when she saw all this. The noise was too loud, and she was interrupted by a waiter's gesture. He seemed to say, "Sit inside, would you like something to drink?"

Zhao Leiting seemed familiar with these places, perhaps he had handled similar cases before. He joined in the conversation and found a seat for two to sit down.

Zhao Leiting ordered a simple cocktail and a drink for Meng Siqi. Soon, the wine and drink were served. He said loudly: "If you come here, it's not good if you don't drink something!"

Even though they speak so loudly, they don't have to worry about being heard by others. Compared with the noisy environment, their voices are too soft. Moreover, in such an environment, they naturally lose the sense of concealment. It seems that this place gives people a sense of freedom and openness.

Meng Siqi shouted back: "Who are you going to ask?"

She really couldn't imagine what she could find out here. Even the waiters here might not be fixed.

"Did you see it?" Zhao Lei Ting pointed.

When he turned around, he seemed to have discovered something. His gaze lingered for a second on the small piece of collarbone exposed by Meng Siqi's unbuttoned shirt, then he looked away as if to talk about something else and took a sip of his cocktail.

Meng Siqi looked up and saw a place called an island at the innermost part of the nightclub. It was the bartender's counter.

Meng Siqi realized that professional jobs like bartenders are not easy to replace, and it is very likely that this bartender has met the mysterious woman before. However, she was not confident that the bartender would remember a strange woman from a year ago.

Noticing Zhao Leiting lowering his head, Meng Siqi shouted, "Do you think it's okay?"

"Try it! She must be outstanding." Zhao Leiting raised his eyes and shouted.

Yes, Meng Siqi also felt that the fact that Sun Beizhe was attracted to her that day showed that this woman must have a beautiful appearance and a temperament that would make people addicted at first sight.

Because she had read the interrogation notes of Sun Beizhe's classmates, Sun Beizhe was very handsome and had many female students pursuing him in school, so his vision must be quite picky.

The two reached an agreement and walked to the bar together. The bartender was busy mixing drinks. When a customer came over, he would smile and ask, "What would you like?"

"I want to ask you about someone?" Zhao Lei Ting asked straight to the point.

The bartender was a young man who was busy mixing cocktails. He glanced at him but did not respond.

Zhao Lei Ting asked again, but the bartender didn't respond at all.

It seemed that it would not work to strike up a conversation with someone in this capacity, so Meng Siqi decided to take an unconventional approach. She took out a photo from her pocket. It was a photo she asked Zhao Leiting to take, and it was one of the portraits in the Sun Beizhe case file.

Only the eyes were photographed in the photo, because Meng Siqi always felt that the eyes looked familiar, and they were also the most beautiful eyes in all the portraits. She was so beautiful, and her eyes would naturally attract people at first sight.

She held the photo out to the bar, "Have you seen these eyes?"

The bartender had always been aloof, but Meng Siqi clearly noticed that his eyes froze at this moment, as if he had seen someone he knew, and there was a moment of hesitation.

Meng Siqi was certain that he had met this woman before, so she asked hurriedly, "Do you know who she is?"

The bartender finally spoke, in an unwelcome tone, "What kind of drinks would you like? Don't bother me while I'm working if you have nothing else to do."

It seems that they cannot obtain any useful information with this identity, but before finding any useful information, it is not convenient for them to just take out their police IDs. There are many uncooperative people in this world, not to mention just asking for a vague piece of information.

Zhao Lei Ting made a helpless gesture, intending to leave with her, go back to have a drink, and then think of a solution.

He was a little disappointed. Walking in front, the two of them were thinking about things, and were instantly separated by the crowd, one in front and one behind.

A short, fat, middle-aged man suddenly staggered up and grabbed Meng Siqi's wrist, his mouth full of alcohol. "My God, such a pure and beautiful girl! Come and have a drink with me!"

"Let go!" Meng Siqi warned without immediately shaking off his hand.

"Let go? I gave you a lot of tips, and I paid for all your tuition and fees."

The man was quite strong and smelled pungent of alcohol. He stretched his face towards her impatiently, making Meng Siqi feel like vomiting for a moment.

Meng Siqi still had some basic fighting skills. She was about to kick him in the crotch when the short and fat man's claws suddenly loosened. He let out a loud cry and fell to his knees on the ground.

Meng Siqi suddenly thought that it was Zhao Leiting who came back, but when he raised his eyes, he saw a handsome and resolute face in the ambiguous light.

He is not suitable for this kind of scene and is a complete destruction to this environment of luxury and decadence. He is born to represent justice.

She never thought that Lu He would appear in such a place.

When the short and fat man was kneeling and begging for mercy, Lu He grabbed Meng Siqi's arm and pulled her behind a pillar to avoid the noise.

Although he soon loosened his hand, the warmth from his palm holding her clothes was still faintly there, as if an invisible force was holding her arm, and her skin seemed to be rebounding, so that this feeling was magical and could not be shaken off.

Even in this environment filled with alcohol and human scent, the unique woody scent on his body was still easily detectable.

His expression was very cold and calm, with a bright light in his pupils. His voice was deep and powerful, "Investigating the case?"

Meng Siqi looked away from his beautiful eyes and nodded, "Yes."

"This place is not suitable for a person to come." His meaning was very clear, it was not suitable for a girl to come.

"I have colleagues." She explained and looked behind him. She wanted to curse him. Zhao Leiting really liked to hold her back.

Lu He followed her gaze and nodded, "Okay then, be careful, remember?"

His voice was powerful and when he said "remember", it reminded her of the instructions given to her by the Korean team and her master. However, it was different. He was not her leader, nor was he her elder. This instruction sounded more like his concern for her.

"Thank you, Lu..." Realizing that he was handling a case outside, Meng Siqi managed to stop using the word "team", "Lu... He, He..."

Lu He's eyes flickered for a moment, and then he pursed his thin lips with a relaxed shape, as if giving her a relaxed response.

"I still have things to do. You should gather up with your colleagues as soon as possible." Lu He reminded her again, glanced at her, turned around and disappeared into the crowd.

It looked like Lu He was working on a case. His attire was a bit more casual than usual. He seemed to have a pair of sunglasses in his chest pocket. Meng Siqi thought to himself that this look might attract the attention of the girls here.

While thinking about some irrelevant things, she walked back to look for Zhao Leiting. Suddenly, she found a pair of eyes looking at her not far away. Under the dim light, the expression in those eyes had a natural resemblance to the eyes in the portrait in the Sun Beizhe case file.
