Teaching Building Female Corpse Case (7)
There was a bloody scratch on Meng Siqi's neck caused by her fingernails. As soon as the Korean team arrived, they arranged for her to go to a nearby hospital for examination.
She refused at first, but the Korean team member said to her: "Why, you want a forensic examination."
There is no infirmary in the bureau, so it is actually okay to let Chen Jierong check it out. There are also professional forensic doctors in the bureau to identify the injuries. Perhaps Han Changlin would prefer her to go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination. Meng Siqi decided to obey the order.
The hospital is just 500 kilometers away from the police station, so it can be considered a neighboring unit. Meng Siqi walked there just to relax.
After the examination, she was confirmed to be fine and just applied some anti-inflammatory ointment. She also brought back the examination form written by the doctor, fearing that the Korean team would not believe it.
When she was walking in the corridor back to the bureau, she met a tall figure head-on. It was Han Changlin.
Han is one of the taller players on the second team. He usually likes to wear a black jacket. He is about 36 or 37 years old and looks a little thin, but his face is particularly strong, and the short moustache on his mouth is strong and powerful. At first glance, he is the type who always rushes forward.
At this moment, his hair was a little messy, but his face was relaxed and showed a happy expression.
Although the 24-hour time limit for solving the case was overturned, it is undoubtedly more gratifying that the real murderer was caught.
After saying hello, Meng Siqi picked up the checklist in his hand and said, "Captain Han, everything is normal after the check."
Han Changlin nodded and praised her on the spot: "Xiao Meng, you did a great job in finding the real culprit this time."
It was the first time that Meng Siqi heard the Korean team’s praise. It was also the most direct praise the Korean team gave her since she joined the second team. Her heart was instantly filled with excitement.
"But next time," he changed the subject and became more serious, "you must pay attention to the methods and ensure your own safety. Remember?"
Meng Siqi said seriously: "I've remembered it. Thank you, Team Han. By the way, has Zhao Guanghui been recruited?" She had been thinking about Zhao Guanghui all the time when she was in the hospital.
"The red marks on the deceased's neck were made by his ring. The technical department has simulated it and it is basically consistent."
At this point, Han Changlin's tone was a little sad: "Although he pleaded guilty, he was unwilling to say anything about the reason for killing his wife. However, we found that he had been taking antidepressants, and he might have serious mental problems. Maybe the divorce agreement was the last straw that stimulated him..."
Meng Siqi nodded. Although she could not empathize with Zhao Guanghui's psychological world, he must be a very inferior person. Zhou Jie Li's divorce might really be destroying his world. So that day he thought that if he did that, the world he had built would be left behind!
Meng Siqi was not in a very good mood these two days. Originally, catching Mu Zhiquan was a good thing for her, but the appearance of Zhao Guanghui undoubtedly made her feel very sad. Zhou Jie Li must be very hard. She lived a hard life, but she could not get rid of it.
Everything is finally over. As for how Mu Zhiquan and Zhao Guanghui will be sentenced, Meng Siqi doesn't really care. In her eyes, they are both murderers. Although Mu Zhiquan attempted murder, they will both be severely punished by the law.
Although Mu Zhiquan's rape attempt seemed to have failed, he had forced sexual intercourse against the woman's will, which was already enough to constitute rape. She believed that the court would give a fair judgment.
In the past few days, Meng Siqi has sorted out the case from beginning to end. This is her habit, which she has kept since school. She likes to summarize her experience. This is her first case, and she wants to learn from it when handling every case in the future.
As she bit the tip of her pen and thought about something, the phone rang. She looked up and found that she and Feng Shaomin were the only ones in the office. There was only one landline in the office, which was usually for business. She picked up the phone and found that it was for her. It was a man's voice on the other end, "Meng Siqi?"
"Who are you?"
"Didn't you recognize my voice?" He paused before saying, "Your brother."
Meng Siqi never thought that Meng Tingzhe would call the police station. Could something have happened at home?
Meng Tingzhe directly stated his purpose: "I passed by your police station. There is a tea restaurant nearby. Can you please have a cup of tea with me?"
"Is there anything that can't be discussed at home?" During working hours, Meng Siqi did feel that something was wrong.
"I want to discuss this important matter with you face to face. Would you mind taking an hour off? I'll wait for you!"
Meng Siqi wanted to refuse, but the man on the other side said, "I hope my sister will give me some favor."
Meng Siqi was still hesitating, and the other party seemed to think that she had acquiesced. With a busy tone, the phone was hung up.
This was the first time Meng Tingzhe had come to talk to her about something, and to be honest, she was very curious. The Han team was not in the office, only Feng Shaomin was there, and it seemed that she could only ask her master for leave.
She didn't like talking to Feng Shaomin, so she had to bite the bullet and ask for leave: "Master, I have something to do. I want to take an hour off."
She originally thought that Feng Shaomin would ignore her as before, or even reject her, but this time, Feng Shaomin immediately put down the pen in his hand and looked up at her. Although his eyes were not on her, he quickly responded: "Okay, go ahead."
Meng Siqi was quite surprised, even a little happy, because she could sense that Feng Shaomin's attitude towards her had changed a little.
She quickly said thank you and went back to her seat to change into an ordinary coat.
There was only one tea restaurant nearby, and Meng Siqi found it quickly. After pushing open the door, he found Meng Tingzhe in a corner by the window. At this time, there were not many people in the tea restaurant and it was very quiet.
"Sit down!" Meng Tingzhe said with a smile, "What would you like to drink?"
"Please tell me what you want to say." Meng Siqi sat down and put his bag on the table.
"Waiter, bring me a cup of coffee," Meng Tingzhe called out, then he took out a bank card and placed it in front of Meng Siqi. "Five thousand yuan, the password is your birthday. Go buy some clothes and some cosmetics when you have time to dress up."
"Um?"
Five thousand yuan was a considerable sum of money in that era. Meng Siqi was very puzzled by Meng Tingzhe's abnormal behavior. You know, he had never supported her with a penny before.
"Brother's care for his sister." Meng Tingzhe looked confident, even a little conceited, in his high-end suit. He observed the changes on her face and adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses out of habit. His eyes sparkled in the bright lenses.
Maybe he thought she would be grateful.
Meng Siqi smiled faintly, then stood up and picked up the bag. "Thank you, but I won't take the money. Since there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
"Wait a minute," Meng Tingzhe's confident face finally showed a trace of anxiety, "Why are you in such a hurry? I have something to talk to you about."
Just as the waiter brought the coffee, Meng Siqi glanced at Meng Tingzhe, still curious about what he was going to say, so he sat down again, gently picked up the spoon, and shook the coffee.
"How does my sister feel about Jiang Jianlong?"
Meng Siqi stopped shaking the spoon. Wasn't this Jiang Jianlong the man introduced to her by her mother Ye Xiuhui? She didn't expect that this was Meng Tingzhe's idea.
Her mood suddenly became cold, "Nothing."
"He is a wealthy businessman, a single nobleman. He happened to be discussing cooperation with our family recently. He saw your photo in my office last time and admired you very much, so he wanted to get to know you."
"What does he see in me?" Meng Siqi took a sip of coffee and asked as calmly as possible.
"She is naturally beautiful, a civil servant, and comes from a well-off family. She is good in every way."
"What good will it do to the business if I get to know him?"
"We are just business partners. My brother thinks he is a good person, so he introduced you to each other. Of course, this matter is not forced by the family. If you have any concerns, I do have a suggestion. Buy him some fashionable clothes and go shopping with him some time so that you can get to know each other better."
"Hmph." Meng Siqi uttered a light nasal sound, which was ridiculed, helpless and disdainful. She even felt that she didn't know whether some of Meng Tingzhe's words were true or false.
"What do you mean?" Meng Tingzhe asked her again in an urging tone.
"Why, if I don't know him, I can't survive in the mall? Am I so important suddenly?" Meng Siqi emphasized this sentence. In her memory, the Meng family had almost no family affection for the original owner, and this adopted brother was just playing around with her. She really felt sorry for the original owner.
"You are not sensible. Brother is doing this for your own good. Just imagine, how many men in their twenties or thirties are not working hard? Would you be able to endure that kind of hardship? And someone like Jiang Jianlong is just the right age, has a successful career, and can take care of others. You will only have no worries about food and clothing in your life. Isn't it good to be a rich wife?"
Meng Siqi sneered: "In fact, I suggest that with your appearance, it would be better for you to find a rich woman in her forties!"
"You!" Meng Tingzhe's face suddenly darkened. After a while, he slowly said, "Siqi, this is also what my parents want. They hope you will be happy and are very optimistic about this marriage. It is not easy for your parents to support you to study. You will not completely ignore it and decide to go against your family, right?"
Meng Siqi took out ten yuan from her bag and put it on the table. "Coffee money!" Her internship salary was very low, and she couldn't afford coffee on weekdays, so this was considered an expense. She quickly stood up, said something and left. "I'm sorry, I only took half an hour off. The office is very busy. Goodbye."
"Siqi, can we have a good talk..."
Watching Meng Siqi walk out of the cafe without looking back, veins popped up on the back of Meng Tingzhe's hand holding the coffee cup. His fingers were naturally slender, but at this moment, they looked ugly. He clenched his teeth and looked at the creaking glass door with a gloomy look in his eyes.
Because of this incident, Meng Siqi would try to stay overnight in the office whenever the office was busy, and would try to avoid Meng Tingzhe when he returned home.
During this period, the second team did not have any particularly difficult cases to handle, so they did not need to work overtime. Zhao Leiting was also a little puzzled: "Siqi, why don't you go home to live recently?"
"Oh, the commute is too long, so I'm saving the money to rent a house nearby."
Zhao Leiting curled his lips and said, "I can report your situation to the bureau."
"No need." Meng Siqi waved his hand and said, "It's better not to bother the bureau with such a small matter as mine."
"How can you call this a troublesome bureau? Take the efficient case solving this time for example. This is the first time for our second team. Didn't you see how happy the Korean team is?"
"It was just a stroke of luck." Meng Siqi replied modestly.
"What do you mean by just calling me?" Zhao Leiting said with a smile, "There are no urgent cases recently. I am applying for a team dinner. By the way, I want to give the Korean team a chance to praise you in front of everyone!"
