The Devil in the World (6)

Feng Shaomin asked: "Xiao Meng, why do you think Yao Renjun is pretending?"

Meng Siqi had thought about it before, but her idea was not mature. However, she felt that she had to bring it up.

She said: "Today, when Yao Renjun's nurse He Ling was introducing the past events at the textile factory, Yao Renjun suddenly had an abnormal reaction. I always felt that his reaction was too strong."

Others who saw this situation today included Feng Shaomin and Zhao Leiting. Han Changlin did not see it, so he asked, "Old Feng, what do you think?"

"I actually had doubts," Feng Shaomin replied, "but I once thought that it was Yao Renjun's stress disorder. There are many stressors for stress disorders, such as serious traffic accidents and attacks by criminals in the physical sense, as well as the sudden death of a loved one or child, the breakup of a marriage, etc. Yao Renjun's stressor was the sudden bankruptcy of the textile factory. As long as someone mentioned the textile factory, he might stimulate the central nervous system and produce a strong physiological reaction."

Tang Xiaochuan said: "I can relate to this. I had a high school classmate who experienced an earthquake when he was a child. His mother died in the earthquake. After that, for more than ten years, whenever he encountered a shaking or vibrating environment, he would become anxious and restless. These depression symptoms were like a string that he could not control at all."

"This should be the psychological barrier after the earthquake," Zhao Leiting said. "Even if you leave that environment, the scene of the disaster will unconsciously reappear in your mind. This is actually called post-traumatic stress disorder."

Feng Shaomin nodded and said, "Zhao Leiting is right. There are usually three types of emergency disorders: post-traumatic stress disorder, acute stress disorder, and adaptive disorder. Judging from Yao Renjun's symptoms, he should be closer to post-traumatic emergency disorder."

"Okay." Han Changlin said, "Everyone has their own opinions, very good, Xiao Meng, what do you think? Do you think it is an emergency obstacle?"

While everyone was discussing this, Meng Siqi's brain was working at high speed. She was not very familiar with the term stress disorder before, but after they explained it to her, she seemed to realize that Yao Renjun might have this disease.

But there was one thing she couldn't explain, which made her feel deeply conflicted. She said, "Captain Han, Master, if it's a stress disorder, does that mean this is a very important matter to Yao Renjun?"

Everyone was listening to her story, and it was obvious that the stressor must be unusual. It might have come from an important moment in his life that was most unforgettable, or it might have been an event in the past that made him sad or regretful. In short, this event would cause him to have a huge spiritual defect.

Meng Siqi said: "But I don't think the fate of the textile factory is a source of stress for Yao Renjun."

Today, nurse He Ling mentioned that passage, which happened to be the change in the fate of the textile factory. Perhaps someone who has invested a lot of affection in the textile factory will resonate with it, but will Yao Renjun?

Meng Siqi said: "I remember the last time Han and Lao Tang went to Guangdong to interrogate Jin Weirong, he said that the textile factory was already corrupt, corrupt from the root, and the person who had the main contact with Jin Weirong at that time was Yao Renjun. If what Jin Weirong said is true, does it mean that Yao Renjun does not have that kind of pure feeling for the textile factory at all? Maybe he just wants to make a profit when the textile factory finally collapses. So can this kind of feeling really bring him stress disorder? Or is it just a fake!"

Meng Siqi's tone quickened at the end. His words were so inspiring that Zhao Leiting was rooted in place, as if he had been enlightened.

Feng Shaomin felt that Meng Siqi's thinking was very mature. This viewpoint must be combined with careful observation and a deep understanding of the matter. When she brought it up, Feng Shaomin almost determined in his heart that Yao Renjun had a problem. He said without hesitation: "Xiao Meng, I support your idea. Yao Renjun is definitely not simple!"

"Okay." Han Changlin was full of admiration. "Xiao Meng, this discovery is extremely valuable. If Yao Renjun is a fake, then it means he has many secrets. Maybe the five missing girls are closely related to him."

Zhao Lei Ting immediately gave a thumbs up, "Siqi, that's great!"

Tang Xiaochuan smiled and said, "Our Siqi is just so excellent."

Meng Siqi felt a little embarrassed by everyone's praise. After all, she didn't think so much about it at first. She came up with it when they were brainstorming together. This was actually everyone's credit.

Han Changlin said: "If Yao Renjun is a fake, where do you think we should start?"

Disguise means that Yao Renjun has reinforced a strong fortress for himself. Without a very strong force, it is impossible to pry open this fortress. It is estimated that even Yao Renjun's family and nurses may not know whether he is real or fake. If he is really disguising, such people are often very scary, especially Yao Renjun, who was once the deputy director of a large factory with thousands of employees and survived among the elite, will definitely not take off his armor easily.

Feng Shaomin said: "Let's start with the people closest to him. According to today's investigation, Yao Renjun was admitted to a nursing home two years ago, and according to the nurses, his condition at the time was probably not that serious."

Zhao Leiting suggested: "His son has a big problem. He has been uncooperative today. I think we can find the root of the problem by starting with him."

"Master, I actually think He Ling is a very good breakthrough point," said Meng Siqi.

"Um?"

"Master just mentioned that when Yao Renjun first came to the nursing home, his condition was fine. Why has the situation changed so much in the past two years? Did something happen? He Ling is his personal nurse, she must know something."

Feng Shaomin nodded, and Han Changlin immediately said, "Old Feng, since your disciple has such insight, let's start with He Ling. Summon He Ling back tomorrow for questioning."

Feng Shaomin nodded, "No problem."

"It's the same old plan. Xiaochuan and I will go to the dance hall tomorrow. The three of you will try to find some breakthroughs from He Ling. I hope we can make progress on this case as soon as possible."

"Okay, Korean team." Everyone answered in unison.

*

The next morning, Lu He, Liang Yunfeng and Lin Tao came to a development bank. In the bank's reception room, the three met Zeng Haoqiang, who was once Ruan Mengying's boss and the bank's customer manager.

Ruan Mengying resigned from the bank a year and a half ago and has not been heard from since. Her experience at the bank, especially her experience when she resigned, may be able to answer some questions.

Zeng Haoqiang made tea for the three of them and closed the door of the reception room. There was a round glass table in the reception room, which was just enough for four people to sit. Lu He sat next to Zeng Haoqiang, and Liang Yunfeng sat opposite him, who was mainly responsible for the inquiries today.

Zeng Haoqiang is about thirty-five or thirty-six years old, not tall, with slightly curly hair, probably natural, and a round face. He wears a pair of round glasses, which makes him look "rounder".

He was wearing a black suit, a dark blue shirt, a red tie with golden patterns, and a bank ID card on his chest. He was very friendly and smiled at everyone he met. After sitting down, he still reminded them: "Leaders, have some tea. This is all the good tea I brought back from my hometown. You may not be able to tell, but I am from Fujian. Tieguanyin is produced in abundance in our area. Tieguanyin is known as 'red buds with crooked tails'. Look, in the clear glass, the purple-red buds are falling, the leaves are connected, the mist is gone, and it is so unique and magnificent."

Unexpectedly, Zeng Haoqiang would recite a few poems so enthusiastically before asking. Lu He didn't know much about poetry, and Liang Yunfeng and Lin Tao were also people who didn't talk much. If Luo Xiaoguo were here, he would definitely be able to chat for a few words. Therefore, at this moment, Zeng Haoqiang seemed a bit lonely, but he still maintained a standard smile. Perhaps for professional reasons, he seemed to quickly figure out the personalities of the three of them, and asked tentatively: "Boss, do you smoke?"

He made a gesture of touching a cigarette box, "Let's have a cigarette first to get familiar with each other."

Lu He interrupted him and said, "Mr. Zeng, let's get started. I hope you can cooperate with us."

Zeng Haoqiang suppressed his smile and said, "Don't worry, we will tell you everything. We know how hard you work."

Liang Yunfeng pushed the teacup to the middle, picked up the pen and asked, "Zeng Haoqiang, Ruan Mengying was originally a bank employee and your subordinate. What is your impression of her?"

"Impression," Zeng Haoqiang raised his head and looked out the window, a green landscape flashing through the lens, "Ruan Mengying is very pretty, young, and very serious about her work in our bank. To be honest, as her manager, I have a very high opinion of her work. She is never late or absent from work, and has a good attitude towards customers. If she works under me for a few years, she can be promoted to manager in the future."

"Does she have particularly good connections in the bank, or particularly bad connections? Tell me about her relationships."

"I've mentioned this before. Ruan Mengying has a good personality and there are no colleagues that she doesn't get along with. We all have stable jobs in the bank and are usually very busy, so we all take care of each other."

"Do you remember anything unusual happening to her before she left?"

Zeng Haoqiang seemed to think for a moment, not looking directly at Liang Yunfeng or anyone else, but slowly answered, "Is it abnormal? I remember that she is not from here, her family background is not very good, her parents divorced early, she sometimes looks a little cold, but sometimes looks a little cute, I don't really understand her true personality, so when she resigned that time and I asked her the reason, she said she was going back to her hometown, I didn't pay much attention to it, I think she might want to go back to her hometown to stay with her parents, after all, she has a younger brother, the relationship between siblings is very different."

Liang Yunfeng's next question was about the reason for her resignation, but Zeng Haoqiang had already answered it, so he skipped over it and asked, "Do you think she has financial difficulties or disputes?"

Zeng Haoqiang's expression froze for a moment, but Lu He was very careful. He felt that someone who was good at controlling facial expressions like Zeng Haoqiang shouldn't have such a hesitant expression. However, he didn't immediately try to find out his reaction. Zeng Haoqiang shook his head and said, "Not really. Mengying has no plans to buy a house or get married. She has always been single. She probably doesn't have any special need for money."

Liang Yunfeng asked a few more questions, and Zeng Haoqiang answered them all. Liang Yunfeng finally asked, "Does Ruan Mengying have any good colleagues? Let's do some research."

"Yes, she happened to be here today. She is just an ordinary colleague. They usually have meals together."

Liang Yunfeng finished asking questions and glanced at Lu He.

Lu He's eyes stayed on Zeng Haoqiang's face. He placed one of his slender hands on the glass, and his fingers pressed against the table. After tapping rhythmically with his index finger, he asked in a low, magnetic voice, "Zeng Haoqiang, can you describe Ruan Mengying's appearance in your own way?"

Not only was Zeng Haoqiang stunned for a moment, Liang Yunfeng and Lin Tao also looked puzzled.

"My way?" Zeng Haoqiang asked in confusion, "Is this important to you?"

“I guess so.”

Zeng Haoqiang forced a smile at the corner of his mouth. "Okay," he thought for a moment and said, "I remembered a little poem that I gave to the most beautiful girl in my class when I was filling out the yearbook after graduating from high school. 'A light silk fan with white orchid flowers, a slender waist and jade belt dancing in the sky'. I think it is particularly suitable for her."

"Okay, thank you for your cooperation." Lu He stood up. "If you remember anything about Ruan Mengying, I hope you can contact us in time."

"Don't worry." Zeng Haoqiang nodded. "Officer, I want to ask, can Meng Ying's case be solved? I see the murderer has changed his confession."

When he said this, Zeng Haoqiang seemed to have changed his previous professional smile and replaced it with a hint of worry.

Lu He replied: "Yes, you have to trust us police."

"Thank you." Zeng Haoqiang changed back to a professional face, "Officer, have some tea. You've worked so hard, but you haven't even had a sip of tea."

"Okay." Lu He said, "Can you call Ruan Mengying's colleague?"

"Okay, I'll call right away."

After Zeng Haoqiang left, Lu He took a sip of tea and it was indeed very good. Although he did not know how to taste tea, he could still easily feel its fragrance and mellowness.

While waiting for the new interviewer, Liang Yunfeng asked curiously, "Captain Lu, why did you ask him about Ruan Mengying's appearance just now?"

Lu He said calmly as he sipped his tea: "I just want to understand his true attitude towards Ruan Mengying."

Liang Yunfeng seemed to understand, because Zeng Haoqiang was indeed wearing too thick a mask today. Maybe Team Lu felt that he was not real enough, so he added a question. However, he did not see any problem with Zeng Haoqiang's answer. He seemed to be eloquent and understood poetry. It seemed that he was a refined person in life.

Next, the three of them asked Ruan Mengying's former female colleague. This female colleague didn't know Ruan Mengying as well as Zeng Haoqiang. They just had lunch together on weekdays. She knew nothing about where Ruan Mengying lived or what her family conditions were like. So after asking a few questions, the three of them called it a day.

Lu He walked out of the bank and did not go to the police car. He put his hands in the pockets of his leather jacket and stood quietly on the busy road.

Liang Yunfeng and Lin Tao stood aside. They felt that Captain Lu might be thinking about something. After all, he used to think regardless of the occasion, and every time he did so, he would just stare in silence.

The sun was shining brightly outside, and a few rays of sunshine fell on the wings of Lu He's nose. The shade of his beautiful facial features was reflected by the eaves opposite. His eyes were bathed in the sunlight, and the black part looked particularly bright.

Liang Yunfeng suddenly heard Lu He say: "Zeng Haoqiang knows Ruan Mengying very well..."

In Liang Yunfeng's opinion, Zeng Haoqiang did understand Ruan Mengying better. For example, Ruan Mengying's divorced family background was something that normal colleagues would not deliberately learn about. He also heard Lu He say, "He said that Ruan Mengying cares a lot about the relationship between siblings..."

Liang Yunfeng has been to Ruan Mengying's hometown. Ruan Mengying's younger brother was born to her stepmother, and Ruan Mengying has no blood relationship with him. Is this kind of sister-brother relationship really that good?

"Why did Li Muxiao go to Qingshui City?" Lu He seemed to be asking him and Lin Tao, but also seemed to be asking himself.

"Xiao Liang, Lin Tao, let's go to Qingshui City right away." Lu He suddenly gave the order.

Liang Yunfeng and Lin Tao looked at each other, followed Lu He to the police car, and when he opened the door, he asked anxiously: "Captain Lu, what did you find?"

Lu He said, "Li Muxiao lied. He definitely didn't go to Qingshui City just to get the ring. Lin Tao, find a phone and call the police station right away to find out if Ruan Mengying has a brother. Liang Yunfeng, confirm this information with Zeng Haoqiang."

The two of them tensed up and said in unison: "Okay, let's get going right away."
