The Devil in the World (23)

In the interrogation room, the police officer in charge of guarding Yao Renjun warned him loudly: "Yao Renjun, be quiet!"

Only then did Yao Renjun slowly calm down.

After the police left, Meng Siqi officially began the interrogation, but Yao Renjun's mouth was still trembling. No one knew what he was mumbling, which was completely different from his previous self.

Meng Siqi said righteously: "Suspect Yao Renjun, now the evidence is solid, please cooperate with the police to confess the crime. Everything you say will become evidence in court!"

Yao Renjun finally calmed down. He raised his empty eyes and looked at her. The corners of his mouth were still twitching, but no sound came out.

"Yao Renjun, eight years ago, before the Dandelion Textile Factory closed down, did you and the main leaders of the factory plan the drinking incident? Did many female workers in the factory participate in the drinking incident?"

Yao Renjun looked at her with empty eyes, without saying a word, but his mouth trembled and his head shook slightly.

"Yao Renjun, don't think that we can't convict you just because you don't say anything. Gui Xiangyang has already identified you."

"You devil..." Yao Renjun suddenly smiled. That smile was particularly strange, and it was even more sad because of his old age. "How did you know I went to Seattle? How did you know?"

"Even though Ma Jinlian is dead, Gui Xiangyang won't tell the truth." He muttered again, as if he was probing her psychology.

Of course Meng Siqi would not tell him how she knew everything, but looking at his grimacing expression, she felt a sense of justice blooming.

However, Meng Siqi was very careful. When Yao Renjun said these two sentences, she discovered one thing. Why did he not tell the truth when he said Gui Xiangyang?

Gui Xiangyang has already been executed, and his confession will only be made directly to the public security comrades. Yao Renjun has no control over what he will tell the police. How does he know that Gui Xiangyang will not tell the truth, unless there is some kind of "contract" between him and Gui Xiangyang, such as Yao Renjun has something on Gui Xiangyang.

She thought about it carefully and deliberately used provocation: "Yao Renjun, how do you know that Gui Xiangyang didn't tell us? He told us everything!"

"Impossible," Yao Renjun said with a pale smile, "If he dares to say it, Jia Longhui will not let his son go."

Meng Siqi finally understood that the fact that Yao Renjun had sacrificed the "Five Golden Flowers" to the Seattle Club was not only known to Ma Jinlian, but also to Gui Xiangyang.

Maybe Gui Xiangyang was not the mastermind or participant, but he must have known about it. The reason why he concealed it was because Jia Longhui threatened Gui Xiangyang before he was arrested, and used Gui Xiangyang's six-year-old son as a bargaining chip.

Although Gui Xiangyang was executed, he could care less about anything, but he definitely cared about his six-year-old son. Therefore, Gui Xiangyang had been hiding the truth about the disappearance of the "Five Golden Flowers".

She confirmed again: "Was it you or Ma Jinlian who sent the five female workers to the Seattle club? Was there any other accomplice Gui Xiangyang involved?"

"It was Gui Xiangyang who betrayed us. If I had known, I would have asked Jia Longhui to kill him. Gui Xiangyang, that bastard, said at the time that I had done something illegal. I told him that his father also participated in the drinking incident. He thought he had something on me, but in fact he was more afraid that I would expose his father."

Yao Renjun seemed to be talking to himself. He thought that the secret of the Seattle club was told by Gui Xiangyang, so he was very angry with him.

Meng Siqi also figured out the context of the incident. Gui Xiangyang might have been the passive participant in the drinking incident, but Gui Xiangyang's father Gui Wenjin was indeed a participant. Perhaps he was old and in poor health at the time, so he did not join the drinking table. However, for such a large factory, without the permission of the factory director, deputy director Yao Renjun would not have been able to do so smoothly.

It can be seen that Gui Xiangyang does not quite agree with the idea of ​​accompanying drinking, but because his father was involved, he has always turned a blind eye to it. His act of "saving" Long Shanwen may have been out of true emotion.

A big part of the reason why he later killed Kong Qushan was because of the photos in Kong Qushan's hands. The photos could ruin the reputation of the textile factory and could also cause Long Shanwen to lose his reputation, so he took extreme actions.

In comparison, although Gui Xiangyang committed a crime, he still had some conscience compared to Yao Renjun.

Yao Renjun continued to talk to himself, as if he was confessing, but also as if he was complaining: "That rubbish Ma Jinlian actually went to do ideological work on Long Shanwen, wanting to bring Long Shanwen to Seattle. How could Gui Xiangyang not know this secret? Gui Xiangyang heard that five female workers went to Seattle and almost ruined our business there. If Jia Longhui hadn't given him some benefits..."

It turns out that there is such an inside story in this matter. Meng Siqi realized that there may be many people involved in the drinking incident, including Gui Xiangyang's father Gui Wenjin, but the incident of sending five female workers to the Seattle club was the evil deeds of Yao Renjun and Ma Jinlian.

Long Shanwen is the most beautiful girl in the textile factory, and she is the best among all the golden flowers. Ma Jinlian would definitely want to have sex with Long Shanwen, but she didn't expect that Gui Xiangyang was dating Long Shanwen privately at the time, so he naturally knew the secret. At that time, Gui Xiangyang might have gone to the Seattle club to cause trouble, but was bribed by Jia Longhui with some benefits.

Yao Renjun was undoubtedly the main planner, but Ma Jinlian was an indispensable accomplice. The female workers in the factory had a high degree of trust in Ma Jinlian. Ma Jinlian was the director of the factory's Women's Federation and usually took care of the welfare of the factory workers. She would probably also visit various representative factories to inquire about their well-being. Therefore, Ma Jinlian's words were the most trustworthy to the female workers, and Yao Renjun also had to rely on Ma Jinlian to do ideological work on the Five Golden Flowers.

Meng Siqi felt deeply saddened by this past event. It was because of the collusion and selfishness of Yao Renjun and Ma Jinlian that the lives of five young girls were lost.

She asked sharply, "So, what benefits did Jia Longhui bring to you and Ma Jinlian?"

"What do you think it is? It's just a lot of money. I've worked for a textile factory all my life, and I've never seen so much money. Isn't this enough? We have to enjoy ourselves throughout our lives." Yao Renjun smiled, and his smile was a little scary.

"So your son Yao Kunming's leap from a worker to a big boss must have been made possible by the financial support, right?"

Yao Renjun's expression turned cold, "Haha, you're trying to trick me, right?"

There was no need for Meng Siqi to trick him because the facts were too obvious. Yao Renjun's son Yao Kunming was the vested interest in this matter, so he worked hard to protect his father's image and prevent the police investigation.

Ma Jinlian's son is also very wealthy. After the police investigation, he never said anything about Ma Jinlian's past. They are now wealthy bosses and have benefited from it, but they have paid the price with the bodies and lives of young girls.

Meng Siqi felt sad and angry, but she was glad that she had persisted to the end, dug out the truth, and did something small for the families of the female workers in the textile factory.

Yao Renjun began to laugh, as if he was accusing himself, or as if he was defending himself, but his smile was still full of madness.

"I have been busy for the textile factory for half my life. Without me, where would those workers have food to eat? I single-handedly supported the textile factory. In order to rescue supplies from the heavy rain, I soaked in water all night and got rheumatism. I suffer every time it rains and blows. If I didn't have this disease, I could at least pretend to be a vegetable like Ma Jinlian..."

"Gui Wenjin is a coward. If he had listened to me earlier, the factory wouldn't have closed down so quickly. I told him long ago that if he wanted to save the factory, he had to make sacrifices. What's wrong with the children of the textile factory making some sacrifices? The factory closed down, and the children went to work in the club to have enough food and clothing. They helped out when there was illness or disaster at home. What's not glorious about that? I didn't treat them badly. You children who were raised in vases don't understand at all... I was helping them!"

After hearing what Yao Renjun said, Meng Siqi felt a tearing pain in her chest. She even heard the sound of Zhao Leiting clenching his fist. For Yao Renjun, everything he did had a legitimate reason, that is, for the factory. Even if the children in the textile compound sacrificed their bodies, it was for the factory. He didn't know that if people turned into beasts, would the factory still be a factory? Wouldn't it be a wasteland of ignorance?

She investigated the case from beginning to end for a long time, and she believed that all her inferences were correct. She wanted to tell Yao Renjun in person that his disguise was useless, his luck was ridiculous, and he had always lived under a magnifying glass.

She told him calmly: "Yao Renjun, you think Gui Xiangyang said all this, you are wrong, your disguise is very poor, in the eyes of us police, you are a poor imitator from beginning to end."

“Why do you say that?” Yao Renjun seemed to be very concerned about his late works. He imitated Alzheimer’s disease in a “brilliant” masterpiece. He retorted, “No one can expose my disguise, if it weren’t for the traitor Gui Xiangyang.”

"You are wrong, you are absolutely wrong. Do you want to hear how I know this? I will tell you now - two years ago, you went to a nursing home because you found that your son's career was thriving and your grandson had grown up. You were worried that your past would be discovered and affect their future. You were even more worried that your reputation would be ruined in your later years, so going to a nursing home was a measure you had to take. Of course, retirement was not your goal. Your goal was to imitate an Alzheimer's patient."

At that moment, Yao Renjun's empty eyes were filled with panic, as if he was seen through. He stared at her, as if he was trying to find out what kind of devil she was and why she could see through his heart.

"Ma Jinlian was hit by a car accident last year and became a vegetable. You must think that Jia Longhui hired someone to silence her, right?" Meng Siqi questioned.

She didn't need to question it at all, because that was the fact. Yao Renjun's mouth trembled and his eyes widened even more.

Meng Siqi continued, "When Long Shanwen got into trouble this year, you initially thought that it was someone sent by Jia Longhui, and the target was Gui Xiangyang, because Gui Xiangyang knew that you had sent five golden flowers to the club. So you thought that Jia Longhui would kill them one by one to silence them and cover up the secrets of the club."

"Just in the past few days, Jia Longhui found you..." Meng Siqi had confirmed with He Ling and asked her if anyone had had private contact with Yao Renjun recently, even if they had spoken a few words.

After thinking about it carefully, He Ling said that Yao Renjun received a call during a senior citizen gathering. At that time, a nursing home attendant put the phone close to his ear. The attendant said that the caller was a friend of Yao Renjun who wanted to say a few words of greeting to Mr. Yao. It is very common for friends to call Alzheimer's patients to say hello in nursing homes, and no one would care.

Meng Siqi said: "Jia Longhui asked you if you had real Alzheimer's disease. Because Jia Longhui knew that the police were investigating the truth behind the disappearance of the five golden flowers, he would definitely look for you! You were worried that Jia Longhui would silence you, so you had to take the risk and ask the police to check your disease."

"How do you know?" Yao Renjun suddenly stretched out his hand to grab her, his voice became hysterical, "How do you know that Jia Longhui is not dead?"

Although Yao Renjun was in custody, it was not difficult for him to know that Jia Longhui had jumped off the building, because Yao Renjun's son Yao Kunming had hired a lawyer the first time yesterday, and the lawyer had the right to meet with Yao Renjun. The news that Jia Longhui had jumped off the building should have been relayed by the lawyer.

Yao Renjun was threatening, but his wrists were handcuffed to the interrogation chair, so he could not move at all. However, his face showed some ferocity again. Perhaps this was Yao Renjun's true face.

He struggled to break free from the handcuffs, his eyes full of bloodshot, like a devil trapped in hell, not a frail old man. He pretended to be a criminal for two years just to accumulate strength to explode at this moment. He gritted his teeth at Meng Siqi: "You devil! Why do you know everything? Tell me! You devil!"

This was probably Lin Minjia's first time participating in an interrogation. Strictly speaking, she was still a clerical worker and seldom came into contact with criminals. At this time, she was already restless and her eyes were full of fear.

Zhao Leiting stood up suddenly and shouted, "Yao Renjun, be quiet! You are a beast in human form! The law will never let you off!"

If the five golden flowers really died in the Seattle club, Yao Renjun's crime is serious and the law will definitely punish him severely. Meng Siqi was very calm. Facing such a beastly person, there was only a righteous sneer at the corner of her lips.

However, Zhao Lei Ting was not calm. He even had mixed feelings. He looked at Meng Siqi who was sitting next to him. She usually looked gentle and reserved, but once she entered the criminal investigation work, she had extremely meticulous observation, extremely rapid thinking, and extremely strong explosive power.

In the case of the missing female worker in the textile factory, she was determined from the very beginning. She firmly believed that Yao Renjun was an impostor. She never gave up this idea. She also used careful reasoning to prove the nature of Yao Renjun's impostorship. Today, it seems that her reasoning was correct.

This is why Zhao Lei Ting is uneasy, because Meng Siqi is the colleague he is most proud of in his criminal investigation career. He remembers the moment when he tore off Yao Renjun's disguise, he almost burst into tears. He often thought, how bleak his career would be without Meng Siqi.

After the interrogation, Meng Siqi basically understood the whole truth. The remaining details might just need to be interrogated by Gui Xiangyang. If Gui Xiangyang had been cautious before because his son was threatened, he would definitely not hide it now.

At this moment, she should be in a good mood, but in fact, she felt a little tired. She wanted to take a rest when she walked out the door. However, when she saw Lin Mingjia's uneasy face, she quickly put on a smile and comforted her, "Mingjia, are you okay?"

"It's okay, Sister Siqi." Lin Mingjia seemed to be trying hard to force a relaxed smile.

"You've worked hard today." Meng Siqi held her wrist and found it was cold. She used the warmth of her palm to gently wipe away the coldness. "Go back and have a good rest."

"Okay. I'll go first." Lin Mingjia looked very tired. She said hello to Zhao Leiting before leaving.

Zhao Leiting looked at her petite back and said, "It seems I shouldn't have called her here today. She has never participated in a trial before."

Meng Siqi held his chest with the notebook and pretended to be distressed, "Yes, I feel so sorry for Sister Lin."

Zhao Leiting: “…”

The two returned to the office together. She thought that Feng Shaomin should have returned to the police station by now. She wanted to inform him of the result of the interrogation of Yao Renjun as soon as possible. He would probably be relieved.

However, just when she was not far from the door, her steps suddenly stopped.

A middle-aged man's slightly hoarse voice came from inside. The voice was not loud, but it faintly hit her eardrum.

"Old Feng, the murderer of your apprentice has been found..."
