Red Makeup Serial Murder Case (3)

Meng Siqi woke up early in the morning. She thought she had the nightmare because she was under too much pressure. In the morning, when Meng Siqi was working in the office of the second team, Feng Shaomin came to find her and called her to the meeting room.

In fact, ever since the White-Faced Man was arrested and Xiang Jie's case was settled, she would often pay attention to her master's mood.

Master had a habit of staring at a pen in a daze. Recently, she saw with her own eyes that Master put the pen into the pen case and tied it with a ribbon. At that moment, she understood that Master was relieved. The pen might be Xiang Jie's relic, or it might be a gift from Xiang Jie to him.

Another time, she saw Master walking back and forth at the commendation display cabinet. He would stay for a long time in the two display cabinets of 1987 and 1993 because those two display cabinets contained photos of Xiang Jie and her.

That time, she saw a smile slowly appear on Master’s face. It was a smile of relief, a smile of satisfaction, and also a smile full of hope.

Because of him, I was truly relieved. Xiang Jie must have seen Master's smile in heaven.

Meng Siqi guessed that Feng Shaomin would not mention Xiang Jie in front of her, and he might have work arrangements when he brought her to the meeting room.

After the two sat down, Meng Siqi opened the notebook, and Feng Shaomin said, "Don't write it down. Master wants to talk to you about his inner thoughts."

His tone was calm, but his eyes were filled with the satisfaction of a master, as well as the warmth of an elder.

"Master, please tell me." Recently, a major case has been closed, and there are still some minor cases ongoing. Meng Siqi knew that the master might have something to say to her.

"It's been almost a year since you came to the Municipal Bureau. You've done an excellent job, better than many criminal investigators I've seen. Master is very proud of you. Actually, I'm not qualified to be your master now..."

"Master!" Meng Siqi panicked for a moment and quickly interrupted him. To her, the meaning of master to her was eternal in spirit. Once a father, always a father. How could she be ungrateful just because she did a better job? She said firmly, "You are my eternal master. Even if you don't want me, I will follow you wholeheartedly."

At that moment, Feng Shaomin seemed to be deeply touched, and his eyes were slightly moist. "Yes, I will definitely be a good master for you... Xiao Meng, the master also has a few words to tell you."

"Master, please speak."

"Life is more than work, and more than criminal investigation. As long as human weaknesses remain, crime will not be eliminated. Police cannot eliminate all crime. Throughout our lives, we are people who uphold the dignity of the law and protect the lives and property of the people, but we are also ordinary people. Master is very happy to see you constantly break through yourself in your career, but Master also hopes that you can break through yourself in your personal feelings."

Meng Siqi was stunned for a moment, because it was the first time she heard Feng Shaomin use such "truths" to convince her to fall in love.

He had never cared much about her life before, especially her love life, but she seemed to truly understand him. It must be because Xiang Jie and Chen Jierong's relationship made him regretful until now, and he hoped to have a second apprentice, hoping that she would not lose love again.

But Meng Siqi didn't know how to respond to Feng Shaomin. If he was her father, she could just ignore him for no reason. But Feng Shaomin was obviously very serious. He was looking at her seriously at this moment, as if hoping she would give a positive answer.

She didn't know how to answer, so she could only answer him with "truths". She smiled and said, "Master, everyone has to get married, right? I will definitely consider my own marriage."

"How is Lu He?" Feng Shaomin asked in a pressing manner.

Meng Siqi swallowed. She didn't know when Feng Shaomin felt that she and Lu He had a relationship. Her ears turned red and her mouth moved dryly, but she didn't know how to answer.

"It's okay." Feng Shaomin smiled and said, "Don't rush to answer me. I just want to tell you that no matter who you are talking about marriage with, can you give me a chance to act as a matchmaker for you. If you think Lu He is good, I will act as a matchmaker for you."

Meng Siqi swallowed again. She felt that her master had really "changed" a lot today. He had become particularly "gossipy". However, in this era, matchmakers were indispensable for marriage and the role of matchmakers was extremely important. Therefore, Feng Shaomin must have felt that he was very suitable for this role.

"Lu He, there's no way you wouldn't give me face. I'll take care of everything for you."

Feng Shaomin spoke so powerfully that Meng Siqi just wanted to laugh. She comforted Feng Shaomin and said, "Master, this is not a matter of face. I promise you, as long as I have someone I like, I will ask you to be a matchmaker. Do you think it's okay?"

"Okay, then we have a deal. The master is waiting to drink at your wedding."

Meng Siqi finally smiled happily. In her opinion, perhaps today's master was the real him. Over the years, he had carried too many heavy things.

He was really relieved and was now looking forward to attending her wedding.

After get off work, Zhao Leiting drove his car and took Meng Siqi to Jinyang City Media College. After finding a place to park at the gate, Zhao Leiting complained to his sister that she had agreed to wait for him at the school gate. Meng Siqi said that as a girl, she must dress up when going out. Zhao Leiting said that he would go into the school and wait for her downstairs of her dormitory building.

The two walked into the school gate together. The School of Media didn't look big from the outside, but the scenery inside was beautiful and the green plants were lush. Zhao Leiting said that the girls' dormitory was across the library. He had brought clothes and food to his sister many times before. His parents were afraid that their daughter would be cold and hungry in school, but they were at ease with their son who had been working in the wind and rain.

"What a double standard." Zhao Leiting complained with a sweet smile on his face.

Meng Siqi couldn't help laughing as well.

The two of them walked along the green path, knowing that they were not in a hurry. After they crossed the green path, they saw the library. Meng Siqi looked up and found that there was a group of people in front of the library, who seemed to be making a commotion. In the crowd, there stood a girl with long hair blowing in the wind. She didn't understand what was going on.

"Oh my god. Isn't that my sister?" Zhao Lei Ting stepped forward in a hurry.

The long-haired girl should be Zhao Leiting's sister Zhao Yuting. Meng Siqi followed her and the booing voice reached her eardrums clearly.

"Promise him! Promise him! Promise him now!"

When Meng Siqi approached, she found that there was a boy kneeling in front of Zhao Yuting, holding flowers in one hand and an open small gift box in the other. There might be a ring inside. She had seen this kind of scene many times, a boy proposing to a girl.

Seeing Zhao Leiting was about to go up and say hello, Meng Siqi grabbed his arm and whispered, "What are you doing? Don't mess things up at this time."

What if that boy is the one Zhao Yuting likes, and if her brother rushes up to him rashly, wouldn’t that embarrass his sister?

Zhao Leiting understood and stopped walking, but frowned as he turned his head and whispered, "My mother doesn't allow her to have a relationship in college."

Meng Siqi rolled his eyes at him and said, "We're graduating soon, maybe the boy is taking advantage of the graduation season to express his feelings to you."

After hearing this, Zhao Lei Ting seemed to have found out something. He nodded and said, "That's right."

"I was just saying you, you still don't have a girlfriend at your age, it turns out your emotional intelligence is... hehe."

"Have you had any emotional experience recently? Do you want to pass on some to me?"

Meng Siqi used an attitude of admitting his mistake, as if he was shooting himself in the foot, to signal him to stop talking nonsense.

"Yuting, I like you, I really like you. I have liked you for three years. During these three years, you have appeared in my dreams every day. I can't forget you for a moment, and I can't live without you..."

When the boy confessed his love, Meng Siqi looked at Zhao Yuting. This was the first time she saw Zhao Yuting. The girl was about 20 years old, and logically speaking, she should be 20 years old when she graduates from college.

She has a sweet appearance and her face shape is somewhat similar to Zhao Leiting, especially her eyebrows and eyes. In fact, Zhao Leiting is a more handsome and sunny type.

Zhao Yuting has a very delicate face, small and exquisite features, and long black hair. Maybe because she had a dinner party in the evening, she dressed up a bit, looking more graceful. The blue dress accentuated her tall figure, and she looked like a beautiful little princess.

Such a sweet appearance made Meng Siqi realize that it was normal for her parents to be partial to her. If she had a sister like this, she would be partial to her as well.

As she watched the confession with a bystander's mind, she suddenly found something wrong. The boy was kneeling on both knees. Isn't it common to confess on one knee? What does kneeling on both knees mean? This is an unequal confession. The boy is in a weak position. He is begging the other party to accept his love.

Meng Siqi likes love that comes naturally and lasts for a long time. She doesn't like forced love, and she doesn't like an unequal relationship between two people in love, because that is doomed to unhappiness.

She had been so immersed in the happy confession that she didn't pay attention to the details. But when she noticed the boy kneeling on his knees, she felt something was wrong.

She looked at Zhao Yuting's face again and found that there was some impatience in her eyes. Perhaps considering that there were many classmates watching her, she deliberately suppressed herself and did not show it.

Zhao Leiting may not have discovered this yet, but in this situation, she feels that she must take a look. Because if Zhao Yuting doesn't like the other party, she politely refuses, then this confession will be over.

She hopes Zhao Yuting can express herself truthfully, because there are many times in life when you need to make your own choices.

The boy didn't look tall. He wore a pair of black-framed glasses and looked very thin. His facial expression showed some excitement, and his eyes were bright and sharp. He kept staring at Zhao Yuting's face, as if he was afraid that she would be unhappy. He was kneeling on the ground, so his whole face was looking up.

The boy held up the flower with one hand, as if declaring: "Yuting, I can't live without you. Let me take care of you. I will take good care of you all my life. I am willing to do anything for you every day. I will not let you suffer any grievance. I swear to the heavens..."

The crowd was filled with voices of praise, “So touching!”

"Deng Hanliang, please get up. Can you come here today? I really have something to do." Zhao Yuting interrupted the boy's confession as if aggrieved.

Although her tone sounded aggrieved, her attitude was still decisive. Meng Siqi could feel that since she was loved by her whole family, she should not be a cowardly person.

Because of Zhao Yuting's words, the scene became a little quieter, and the boy looked at her innocently.

Zhao Yuting comforted her, "I'm sorry, please get up. I have something important to do. Someone has been waiting for me. I have to leave."

"Who is it?" Deng Hanliang's face was suddenly filled with anxiety and jealousy. "Is it Huang Feixiang? What's so good about him? Isn't it just that his family has some dirty money?"

"No, don't think about it one way or the other," Zhao Yuting explained.

"Who are you going to see?" The boy was getting more and more excited. "I've liked you for three years. Three years. Isn't it just that my family conditions are a little bit worse? But I can make money. I can work like a cow or a horse to make money. I won't let you work. I will support you."

"What did you say?" Zhao Yuting's tone was impatient and embarrassed, but she still did not forcefully refuse. "What does your family's conditions have to do with me? I don't want you to support me."

Zhao Lei Ting took a step forward with an indignant look on his face. Meng Siqi grabbed his arm again and motioned him to wait. At this time, interference would only make this unequal relationship more tense, so it would be better to resolve it today.

Zhao Lei Ting said to her, "Siqi? I can't let her suffer any injustice."

"Zhao Leiting, please wait a little longer. I believe Yuting can handle it. I have high hopes for her. You must let her make the decision herself." Otherwise, boys will pester her in the future. It is better to make things clear now and be a "bad guy."

Zhao Lei Ting swallowed his anger and said nothing.

"Then tell me, why didn't you accept my flowers and my ring? Why? There's something wrong with me, I can change it." The boy began to become emotionally unstable.

Meng Siqi hoped that Zhao Yuting would tell him directly now that she didn't like him at all and stop wasting each other's time.

"I'm sorry, Deng Hanliang, I really have something to do. I'm really sorry. I have to leave." Zhao Yuting's eyes were a little red, as if she had suffered a great injustice. She turned around and walked out of the crowd.

"Yuting..." Deng Hanliang howled, and suddenly rushed over to hug her thighs, "Please, please promise me! Please! I love you, I can't live without you!"

"Let go! Let go!" At that moment, Zhao Yuting's face was filled with panic and she became at a loss, and she slapped him with her hands.

"What are you doing!" Zhao Leiting rushed forward, rushed into the crowd, and pulled off Deng Hanliang's pair of iron-clamp-like hands.

"Be careful, or I'll beat you to death if you touch her again!" Zhao Lei Ting was filled with righteous indignation and clenched his fists, but as a policeman he restrained his rage.

Meng Siqi never thought that things would develop in this direction. She was a little confused. Maybe she didn't understand emotions. She was just careless just now. If she hadn't stopped Zhao Leiting from the beginning, nothing would have happened now.

Zhao Yuting hugged Zhao Leiting's arm and sobbed, feeling very aggrieved, "Why did you come just now... wuwu..."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, baby sister, don't cry, it's okay."

Meng Siqi felt a little guilty, with tears in his eyes.

But at this moment, Deng Hanliang, who was pushed to the ground by Zhao Leiting, took a look at the ring that rolled to the ground. He suddenly glared and shouted hysterically: "Zhao Yuting, it turns out that you are two-timing. I will die today to show you. I will jump from the roof now and make you regret it for the rest of your life..."

He got up and rushed to the library door.

This library is at least five or six stories high. If you fall from the top floor, your brain will definitely explode.

Meng Siqi felt deeply uneasy. She rushed forward and pinned Deng Hanliang to the ground with a standard police shoulder throw as he ran madly. She quickly twisted his hands behind his back. Deng Hanliang struggled desperately, "Let me die, let me die!"

Meng Siqi pressed his knee hard against his back and shouted, "Deng Hanliang, calm down!"

"I want to die. I want her to regret it for the rest of her life..."

Deng Hanliang cried and shouted, and after Meng Siqi resisted fiercely once again, he seemed to give up the struggle and lay on the ground crying.

The students present were stunned by Meng Siqi's series of actions. When Deng Hanliang was crying, discussions were heard from the crowd.

"Who is this? She's so pretty and amazing. Which class is she from?"

"Do you know anyone like him? He can't be from the Sports Academy, right?"

"I really want to meet this beautiful sister, she's so cool."

When Meng Siqi felt that Deng Hanliang would not struggle anymore, he slowly relaxed his strength and retracted his knees, but he still held his hands, fearing that he would suddenly go crazy again.

"Deng Hanliang, so you have already made up your mind that if you fail to express your feelings today, you will jump off the building, right?"

Meng Siqi questioned him loudly.

"You like her, why do you treat her like this? Do you want her to remember you for the rest of her life, or your bloody appearance?"

After Meng Siqi said this, Deng Hanliang's crying finally stopped. He lay on the cold concrete floor, sobbing, and even glanced at her.

"Do you know who is next to Yuting? It's her brother, an excellent policeman. He has been fighting criminals. Not long ago, he had a fierce gun battle with the gangsters. Last year, he was awarded the third-class individual honor by the police station. He is Yuting's role model. Yuting will only like brave and excellent people like her brother, not people like you who are willing to die for a little love."

When Meng Siqi was speaking, everyone's eyes turned to Zhao Leiting. At this time, Zhao Leiting was bathing in the sunset sunshine. He was tall, handsome and resolute. Many girls couldn't help but show envy and admiration to him.

Zhao Lei Ting licked his lips, and the anger on his face suddenly seemed to disappear, and an expression of immense pride appeared on his face.

Zhao Yuting raised her head and looked at her brother bathing in the sun, and she also smiled.

Meng Siqi let go of Deng Hanliang's hand and slowly stood up.

"What about you? If you die, what will happen to your parents? They paid for your education, won't they feel bad? Just because others don't accept you, you want to jump off the building, is this your view of love? Wagging your tail and begging for a little love from others? Deng Hanliang, I hope you can become an excellent person and have a true view of love. If that day comes, you are really excellent, and many excellent girls will accept you. Only then will you be happy. That's all I want to say, you can do whatever you want."

The air became particularly quiet. Pedestrians passing by the library stood aside. Even a security guard who was about to maintain order stood aside and watched.

After a long while, Deng Hanliang finally raised his head, as if towards Zhao Yuting, and said in a crying voice: "... I'm sorry, Yuting, I just like you too much. I didn't consider your feelings. I was too impulsive today. I'm sorry... and thank you..." He glanced at Meng Siqi.

Meng Siqi sighed and turned around. She was dressed casually today, a long-sleeved white shirt tucked into blue jeans. She looked particularly fresh and beautiful. The setting sun was as golden as gold, shining on her body. She seemed to be glowing, attracting the onlookers' attention.

At this time, the security guard suddenly applauded and said, "That's very well said."

Instantly, all the students were infected and started clapping, and the applause was thunderous.

Meng Siqi felt particularly embarrassed. She lowered her head slightly and walked towards Zhao Leiting, who was smiling happily at her, and Zhao Yuting, who was looking at her with an expression of admiration.

"Sister Siqi, I finally see you." Zhao Yuting seemed to be about to cry, "I finally see you."

"I knew she was awesome," Zhao Leiting said with a smile.

Meng Siqi took her hand and said, "I've wanted to see you for a long time, Sister Yuting. Let's go and have dinner."

As the three were about to leave, a female student in the crowd asked, "Pretty sister, can I ask which college and class you are from?"

"Yes, which class are you from?" At this time, many boys and girls asked together.

"Let me introduce you to you," Zhao Leiting said. "This is an outstanding policewoman from our city police department, Officer Meng."

"Ah, you're a policeman too. You're so handsome."

"Police sister, you are really amazing."

"Officer Meng, you are the idol that I, Zhang Datian, will pursue for the rest of my life."

Zhao Leiting said: "Hey, this student, I'm afraid it won't be as you wish. The people who are chasing Officer Meng are lining up at the police station."

There was laughter at the scene.

Meng Siqi rolled his eyes at Zhao Leiting and said, "Stop talking nonsense. Let's go. Do you still want to hold a press conference?"

"Hey, okay, let's go."

As the three of them left, the security guard said, "If I had known you were police officers, I shouldn't have stopped you at the gate today and asked you to fill out your information."

Zhao Lei Ting turned around and said, "Brother, can you come and show your face next time?"

"That's a must."

After walking a few steps, Meng Siqi said, "Come on, Zhao Leiting, you want to have special privileges as a police officer, right?"

"I dare not."

Zhao Yuting smiled happily and said, "Sister Siqi, I finally know who in this world can control my brother, a local tyrant."

Zhao Lei Ting said: "Hey, today is the first time you two meet, and you're already saying bad things about your brother."

"Isn't it? You bully me a lot at home. You always occupy the TV and eat all the delicious food. If this isn't a local bully, what is it?"

Meng Siqi smiled and said, "Zhao Leiting, you can't wash yourself clean even if you jump into the Yellow River."

"While your sister Siqi is here, I'm going to make it clear to you that I will praise you to the sky in the future."
