Red Makeup Serial Murder Case (11)

The next morning, Meng Siqi got on the bus. She was actually a little nervous because Meng Hui would never meet her unless it was important. She was worried that Meng Hui had some health problems. However, she couldn't just think about these things. She decided to wait until they met. After changing buses, she got off the bus smoothly in front of the Shangyin Shopping Mall.

This time, Manager Ma from the logistics department was already waiting for her on the first floor of the mall. When he saw her, he greeted her with a smile and said, "Officer Meng, you're here. I've been waiting for you for a while."

Meng Siqi smiled and said, "Manager Ma, please call me Xiao Meng."

"I don't deserve it."

"Do you know what my father wants to talk to me about?"

"I don't know. I just received a call asking me to pick you up."

Manager Ma led her up to the second floor while talking to her. Meng Siqi was thinking on the way that Meng Hui did not ask Meng Tingzhe to pick her up, probably because Meng Tingzhe was not in the mall today.

Soon, she followed Manager Ma to the door of an office with the words "Chairman's Office" written on it. In fact, Meng Siqi had been to the mall more than once to investigate Hu Dingxiang's case last time, but this was her first time in her father's office.

After knocking on the door, Meng Hui's voice could be heard from inside: "Come in."

Manager Ma said he would not disturb her, and Meng Siqi pushed the door open and walked into the office. As soon as he entered the office, he felt a clean and bright window, a faint fragrance, and a few high-end landscape paintings hanging on the wall. Meng Hui was in the business world and had the ability to win by using strange strategies, but he also had elegant taste.

Meng Siqi called out "Dad" and closed the door. What came into view was Meng Hui sitting on the sofa and a man in his thirties. The man was dressed in a neat blue suit and looked handsome. When he saw her, he stood up, extended a polite handshake gesture, and said with a smile: "Hello, Miss Meng! I'm Guo Zhaohong, nice to meet you."

When Meng Siqi saw the smile on Meng Hui's face, she felt vaguely uneasy. This couldn't be an arranged blind date, could it be that Lu He had guessed it right? What he said was really what came true. Now that her father and the blind date were here, could she just refuse directly in this situation?

While Meng Siqi was thinking, she gave a very calm smile: "Hello, Mr. Guo." She extended her hand to shake hands. The other party was very polite, just touching her fingers lightly and inviting her to sit down.

Meng Siqi naturally sat down next to her father, and Meng Hui greeted her with a smile: "You must have had a hard time on the road."

"It's not hard." Meng Siqi said with a smile.

"Let me pour my daughter a glass of water first." Meng Hui stood up.

Meng Siqi stroked his arm and said, "Dad, don't bother. I'm not thirsty. If I'm thirsty, I can just pour myself some water."

Meng Hui was very satisfied with her sudden touch on his arm, and patted the back of Siqi's hand, "My daughter is right, please do as you please at home."

"Yes, Dad."

Perhaps because of the deep affection between father and daughter, Guo Zhaohong also smiled happily.

While talking, Meng Siqi also took a quick look around the entire office. The office was very spacious, with floor-to-ceiling windows facing the busy traffic. The night view here should be good. The room was decorated in Chinese style, with large mahogany furniture and several elegant flower pots placed in different places, embellishing the room.

They were sitting on a circle of sofas, with Guo Zhaohong sitting opposite them. In the middle of the sofas was a mahogany coffee table with many documents placed on it. In front of Guo Zhaohong were pens, ink, and even a fingerprint box.

Meng Siqi felt that this was not a blind date, and she began to be curious. Meng Hui smiled and introduced: "Daughter, let me formally introduce you to Guo Zhaohong, a famous lawyer who works at Jinzheng Law Firm. His father is also a very good comrade of mine. I invited nephew Zhaohong to come here this time because I have something to discuss with you."

Guo Zhaohong kept smiling throughout the whole process. Meng Siqi was also listening carefully. She didn't know what her father wanted to say, but the profession of lawyer gave her some information.

Meng Hui smiled and said, "Daughter, Dad is old and not in good health, so I want to talk to you and nephew Zhao Hongxian about everything while I am still conscious."

Meng Siqi immediately understood what Meng Hui meant. He might want to make a will. She remembered that when she met Meng Hui a year ago, he was still full of rosy complexion. Now his complexion was indeed much worse. She didn't know if he was hiding some illness from her. She was more concerned about Meng Hui's health and immediately said, "Dad, what's wrong with your health? We have to go check it out. No matter what, health is the most important thing."

Seeing her anxious, Meng Hui's eyes became slightly moist. He looked at Guo Zhaohong and smiled, "You see, a biological daughter treats her father differently."

"Dad, I'm telling you the truth."

"Dad is fine, don't worry." Meng Hui patted the back of her hand. "Dad is old, and he always thinks about what will happen a hundred years later. So I asked you to come here today because I want to tell you that I will make a will and transfer the shares of the mall to your name. Of course, this contract will not take effect until a hundred years after I die, and Guo Zhaohong will be the witness. If Dad is really gone, my daughter, remember to find Brother Zhaohong, he will help Dad fulfill the will."

Meng Siqi was really touched, but she knew her own limitations. If the shopping mall shares were handed over to her, it would be tantamount to letting her "lose everything".

This kind of inheritance has great hidden dangers. She can inherit the ownership of shares, but what about the company's management rights and property rights? The inheritance of company shares is not equivalent to the inheritance of management rights, because Meng Tingzhe is still involved in the current company management.

Of course, Meng Siqi understood that her father should have considered carefully whether to bring in a professional manager to help her run the company. She was not in a position to ask. She was touched by her father's love, but she was also worried: "Dad, if you give me the shares of the mall, aren't you afraid that I will lose everything?"

"If you have that ability, then Dad will be happy too." Meng Hui seemed to be joking, but then he said with a serious look, "Of course I will also consider your mother and your brother in detail, you don't have to worry. Anyway, Dad hopes that you will be happy in your life. The most important thing is to find a good husband as soon as possible."

Meng Siqi had expected Meng Hui to say this, and she smiled shyly. Guo Zhaohong took over and said, "Ms. Meng, in fact, according to our relationship, I have to call you sister. Don't worry, I will handle Uncle Meng's commission fairly. I ask you to believe me, I will complete this matter as my own business."

"Thank you, Brother Zhaohong." Meng Siqi smiled.

"Let's have lunch together at noon," Meng Hui said with a smile, "It's not easy for my daughter to come over, so I'll have a good chat with her."

"Okay, Dad." Meng Siqi smiled very happily.

At noon, the three of them had lunch in a hotel. Meng Siqi didn't drink, but Meng Hui and Guo Zhaohong drank a few glasses. At the table, Meng Siqi advised Meng Hui to drink a few glasses, but Meng Hui said he was happy and wanted to drink. He kept using the public chopsticks to pick up food for Meng Siqi, and asked her if it tasted better than the food in the cafeteria in the bureau.

After lunch, Meng Hui returned to the mall and arranged a high-end rest room for Meng Siqi so that she could take a nap.

Meng Siqi fell into a daze and fell asleep. She felt very happy. It was not only because of her father's share inheritance. In fact, after becoming a police officer, she would not care about material life. What she cared about was her father's love for her. She was the biological daughter of the Meng family, and she deserved it. She would also fulfill her responsibilities as a daughter. She was Meng Hui's little cotton-padded jacket. The care of a biological daughter was a little cotton-padded jacket, a particularly warm little cotton-padded jacket.

After waking up, Meng Siqi washed up and prepared to say goodbye to Meng Hui. She planned to go back to the police station in the afternoon. After all, it was not good to delay Meng Hui's work here. When she was here, Meng Hui would always care about this and that.

She tidied up the room and went out to the direction of the "Chairman's Office" in her memory. This was the inner side of the second floor of the shopping mall, which was all office areas. Walking in the dark corridor, Meng Siqi's eyes suddenly froze. At the foot of the door of a room, there was a red lipstick lying.

Meng Siqi has recently become particularly sensitive to red lipstick, especially when a man has lipstick in his hand.

Her eyes had already landed on the sign on the door, which read "General Manager's Office". General Manager? There couldn't be a female general manager in this mall. The only general manager was her brother Meng Tingzhe.

Was it his own lipstick or a lipstick dropped by a woman? All this made Meng Siqi very curious. She couldn't help but turn the doorknob, but unexpectedly the door opened.

She remembered that Meng Tingzhe was not in the mall today, but the door of the office was easily opened. She walked in nervously. Even though she knew she was eliminating suspicion as a police officer, this was her father's mall and she didn't want to cause any trouble.

She closed the door gently again. The decoration inside was completely different from her father's office. The decoration style inside the room was extremely low-key black. If it weren't for the sunlight coming in through the window, this office would make Meng Siqi feel very depressing.

The room was very simple and the furniture was neatly arranged, giving the impression that the owner of the office had some kind of cleanliness obsession, but perhaps that was the work of the mall hygienic lady, because my father's office was also very tidy.

There was another door in the office. She pushed it open gently, and inside was a study. It was also in black tones, but it looked warm because there were many books. She then realized that Meng Tingzhe was a person who loved learning, especially the many large financial books, which made her think that Meng Tingzhe should be very concerned about his business career.

Although she knew that Meng Tingzhe was making things difficult for her, if he was really doing it for the good of her father, she might not do anything to him.

She browsed for a while and found a problem. The study was extremely tidy and every book was neatly arranged. If Meng Tingzhe liked reading, he should have flipped through the books frequently, unless he just treated them as decorations. Of course, there was another possibility: Meng Tingzhe had a cleanliness obsession, and it was a serious one.

As she was thinking, she suddenly felt that there was something particularly wrong with a bookcase. It seemed to have been moved, and the legs of the cabinet did not match up with the other bookcases. If he was a person with a serious mysophobia, he should be very concerned about this mismatch, unless this bookcase could not match up. She quickly remembered what Zhao Leiting said, that the Seattle club had set up many secret doors to hide filth.

Could this be a secret door?

Meng Siqi looked at the books in the bookcase again. One of the books was different from the others. It was a very ordinary book, but it seemed to have been taken countless times and had turned a little dark yellow. She quickly pulled out the book. Sure enough, there was a small silver button inside. She reached out and pressed it, and the bookcase moved.

The bookcase moved aside and a door opened. Meng Siqi became more and more curious and stepped directly into the door, pressing the light switch on the wall. When the light came on, her eyes were stunned, and everything inside shocked her.

There are no windows inside, it's a large bedroom and a bathroom, but this bedroom looks like a woman's chamber. The room is dark in color, but it is filled with women's clothes, such as dresses, high heels, and women's underwear. There are also mirrors and camera equipment in the bedroom.

What kind of special hobby does Meng Tingzhe have, such as taking photos of women? Given his conditions, it is not difficult to ask girls back to the office, so he will date them here.

No, Meng Siqi didn't think so. Meng Tingzhe absolutely respected Meng Hui, both on the surface and in his heart. It was impossible for him to bring a girl back to the mall. So what was going on here?

She walked around the room and found dozens of pairs of high heels in the shoe cabinet. Due to her job, she seldom wore high heels, but even if she liked wearing high heels, this many pairs were considered a lot.

There are a lot of dresses in different closets, different styles of women's clothing, and different styles of women's underwear, some of which are beautifully designed, or can be exhibited in a model show.

After walking around for a while, Meng Siqi saw a dressing table with a large number of cosmetics and various lipsticks on it.

Looking in the mirror on the dressing table, she felt that her face looked a little strange in the dim light and background.

There was a drawer on the dressing table. She gently opened it. There were only two photo albums neatly arranged inside. She picked up one of the albums and opened it.

The photo album shows a woman wearing a skirt, with black curly hair and heavy makeup. No, this is not a woman at all, but a man, Meng Tingzhe.

Meng Siqi felt nauseous. She and Meng Tingzhe had known each other for many years, and she was still shocked to suddenly discover that he had this habit.

Meng Tingzhe usually wears glasses and a suit, but his face is generally thin and his facial features are not big, which makes him look small and delicate, or feminine. However, when he dresses up as a woman, he is very charming.

He is at least 1.78 meters tall, but he looks smaller in a skirt.

Meng Siqi flipped through a few pages, but couldn't read any further because there were a large number of photos of her wearing women's underwear at the back.

She put down the album and picked up another one. When she opened it, she almost dropped it. In the album were intimate photos of two naked men, and one of them was Meng Tingzhe, who was wearing female makeup.

She quickly flipped through a few pages and found that they were basically photos of naked men being intimate with each other. The scale of the photos was very large, and the men in the photos were not always the same as those taken by Meng Tingzhe. In other words, Meng Tingzhe liked to take such photos with different men.

The men in the photos are strong and handsome, and Meng Tingzhe is almost always wearing different styles of women's clothes. He has absolute initiative, and the shooting angles are mostly from overhead. The men are more likely to kneel humbly in front of him and make very indecent movements.

Meng Siqi closed the photo album, put it back where it was, and patted his chest hard to suppress his panic.

In fact, as a person who traveled back in time thirty years later, she did not criticize other people's special hobbies, especially a hobby like Meng Tingzhe's, but as someone around her, she still couldn't accept it for a while.

If this was Meng Tingzhe's privacy, Meng Siqi would not reveal it. As for whether to tell the Meng family, she would also be cautious.

But everything in front of her made her think of a series of red-makeup murders. The murderer was cautious and had a special cleanliness fetish. He had certain makeup skills and should be quite strong. He had a natural hostility and attachment to women. She couldn't understand all this, but if he was a man who liked to dress up as a woman and had a transvestite hobby, and he regarded makeup on women as an extension of his fetish, then Meng Tingzhe was undoubtedly close to these characteristics.

Because of his transvestite fetish, Meng Siqi quickly thought of the notorious "high-heeled shoe killer" abroad. The murderer liked to wear women's underwear and high-heeled shoes, and had a special fetish for collecting women's high-heeled shoes. Before he was arrested, he committed several brutal murders of young women and liked to saw off women's feet as collections.

Combined with Zhao Yuting’s testimony, she met a man wearing glasses and a raincoat that day. Did she think that man might be Meng Tingzhe?

In addition to transvestite, does he have a fetish for putting makeup on women or collecting women's fingernails?

Moreover, because of his sexual orientation, he would not commit any sexual assault or indecent assault on the female victims?

Meng Siqi searched the bedroom again, looking for any evidence of the crime that might have been left by the victim's fingernails.

After searching in vain, she was considering what to do next when she heard the sound of a bolt being turned outside the door, followed by a series of rapid gasps of "Ah ha a ha".

Meng Siqi was shocked. Meng Tingzhe is back?
