The Evil White Nightmare (11)

At night, when Meng Siqi was studying under the stage light, Shen Xiangming's voice rang out from outside the window: "Siqi, is Siqi here? Do you have any extra hangers?"

Meng Siqi poked her head out of the window. Shen Xiangming was sticking his head out of the window. When he noticed her poking her head out, he smiled and said, "Are you still awake?"

"How many do you want? How can I give them to you?"

"Three, just throw them down."

Meng Siqi went back to the bedroom and got three hangers. She tied them together with a rope, reminded him to "catch them", and threw them down. Shen Xiangming had long arms and wide hands, so he caught them just right. She smiled and said, "Thank you. Go to bed early and don't stay up late at night."

"Snap!" A loud bang was heard from the third floor, as if someone had shut the window with force. Shen Xiangming looked down silently and said to her, "Good night!"

Meng Siqi said nothing more and looked away.

The next day at noon, Meng Siqi was investigating outside when he suddenly received a shocking piece of news that the ground in the basement of the Seattle club had been dug up and corpses were hidden underneath. It was said that there were more than a dozen bodies, wrapped in concrete, and it was impossible to identify the complete skeletons.

This is the inside information Zhao Leiting got from the bureau. It is still in a highly blocked stage. It is said that Liu Maoping went to the scene in person. Lu He and Shen Xiangming are both in charge of the Jia Longhui case, so they must have been there.

Meng Siqi found it hard to imagine what Lu He felt when he saw those corpses. It must have been a shocking and outrageous scene. Lu He must have been filled with grief and anger towards those evil demons who killed people.

The forensic doctor who originally monitored Xu Jianfei and Zhou Yingjun's family, Chen Jierong and her colleague Tong Qingqing were also urgently transferred back to the bureau, and the bureau required the autopsy to be completed as soon as possible.

Han Changlin had to make temporary arrangements and arrange new medical staff to monitor Xu Jianfei's home.

At this moment, Feng Shaomin received a hurried voice from Tang Xiaochuan on the intercom: "I am Tang Xiaochuan, Brother Feng, Xu Jianfei is out. He disguised himself and left with the ransom money. I am on my way to track him down."

Feng Shaomin's face suddenly tensed up, "Xiaochuan, please inform the Korean team where you are and we will come over right away."

"The Korean team just contacted him, he should be leaving now."

At that moment, Meng Siqi's heart instantly rose to his throat. Xu Jianfei went out with the money, which meant that the kidnappers were active. This was the most favorable news at the moment. Otherwise, if he missed this opportunity, perhaps the kidnapping case would never be solved, and Xu Yizhou would never come back.

She ran over to drive the car, and Feng Shaomin asked her to sit in the passenger seat, but Meng Siqi had already started the car, so Feng Shaomin had to acquiesce. The car set off at almost the fastest speed, heading to the area where Tang Xiaochuan was.

Tang Xiaochuan's voice came through the intercom again: "Xu Jianfei rode his motorcycle to Shanghai Road. The license plate number ends with 320. There are many forks on this road, so we may lose him at any time."

Han Changlin's voice soon came: "I am Han Changlin, Team Two, listen up, I have contacted the nearby traffic police team, keep a close eye on the whereabouts of the motorcycle, we must hurry to Shanghai Road as soon as possible, and we must find the location where Xu Jianfei is in contact with the criminals."

Meng Siqi had driving experience, but it was a bit difficult for her to stop the car manually. Fortunately, after the car's "click, click, click" sounded for a while, she finally got the rhythm under control, and the car sped towards Shanghai Road with the sirens blaring.

The car was shaking violently just now, and Feng Shaomin held the roof handle to balance it. Now seeing that the car was stable, he raised his eyes slightly.

Even in the tense pursuit, Feng Shaomin seemed to be trying to ease her tension, "When will you learn to drive?"

"Oh, Master," Meng Siqi hadn't driven for a long time, so her hands were unfamiliar. She was very nervous and didn't pay attention to the conversation. She just replied, "It's been a long time. I didn't drive it automatically."

"Automatic?"

Cars of this era almost never have automatic transmissions. Meng Siqi suddenly realized that she had said the wrong thing. She got nervous and the car made two "click" sounds. She had changed the gear wrong again.

"Xiao Meng, don't be anxious. You are a good driver. Stay calm, find the right gear, and step on the clutch accurately."

"Okay, Master." With Feng Shaomin's guidance, Meng Siqi calmed down a lot. She adjusted the gears and clutch more naturally, and soon became proficient in it, moving freely in the city lanes.

Tang Xiaochuan called again in a hurry: "I'm Tang Xiaochuan. Xu Jianfei lost his car. I don't know where he is. His ransom money may have been released. Han team?" Han Changlin replied: "Xiaochuan, continue to investigate the situation on Shanghai Road. Xu Jianfei may have put the ransom money in a trash can, waiting for the kidnappers to take it away. Pay close attention to the trash cans on that road."

"Okay, Korean team."

A few minutes later, Feng Shaomin said, "Xiao Meng, go straight ahead and turn right to reach Shanghai Road. Follow the Korean team's instructions and turn off the sirens. We will stay hidden and keep a close eye on any suspicious persons approaching the trash cans."

"Master, I know." Meng Siqi turned off the siren and sped up the car. After a few kilometers, he slowed down and prepared to turn right onto Shanghai Road.

"The kidnappers have appeared!" Meng Siqi's heart almost jumped out of his chest when Tang Xiaochuan shouted.

Tang Xiaochuan was shocked: "It was the white helmet? He took away Xu Jianfei's bag."

White helmet? Almost at the same time, Meng Siqi and Feng Shaomin were stunned.

"The white helmets are on Yingjiang Road!"

Han Changlin said: "Chase!"

The sirens sounded again. Tang Xiaochuan was driving the backup car and had a siren horn on the roof. Three cars caught up with Yingjiang Road from different intersections.

Meng Siqi sped up the car, and she could see the Han team and Tang Xiaochuan's car from a distance, with red and blue lights on, which was very dazzling. Yingjiang Road is a flat road that leads to the riverside.

"The Koreans," Tang Xiaochuan shouted, "the white helmets have entered Huijiang Road!"

"The white helmet is likely to take the money to the riverside dock. He wants to leave by boat. Everyone should follow him."

Meng Siqi stepped on the accelerator again and soon caught up with the rear of Han's team. After turning to Huijiang Road, two police cars flew into a fork in the road. Then, Lu He's voice rang out in the intercom: "Old Han, this is Lu He. The two teams have merged. The arrest operation must be successful."

"Lao Lu, you are quite fast. You got here in just over half an hour."

"Remember, the white helmets are in our hands! Everybody cheer up and make a concerted effort. I will celebrate your success later!" A man's hoarse voice came from the intercom.

Meng Siqi didn't sound like Lu He at all, and his style of speaking was never full of himself. She suddenly remembered that this was the voice of Shen Xiangming, the captain of the provincial department's criminal police. It turned out that Captain Shen had also joined the action.

However, Meng Siqi felt a little uneasy. Lu He said that the White Helmet might be related to the Hongzhuang serial murder case, but now the whole team is arresting him, so he should be fine. This may be the best ending.

Meng Siqi accelerated again, and soon the car was following them. Now there were five cars chasing them, and the suspect had no way of escaping.

From a distance, Meng Siqi spotted the figure of the man in the white helmet. The motorcycle was emitting thick smoke. The shape and color of the motorcycle were the same as the motorcycle that escaped from the Seattle club. Although the arrest process was tense, Meng Siqi still had doubts. The man in the white helmet was obviously a sensitive figure now, so why did he take the risk and expose himself?

Besides, is the ransom of NT$200,000 really important to him? Is he at the end of his rope and has to rely on the ransom money to save himself?

The speed of the police car has reached the limit, but the motorcycle of the man in the white helmet must be an excellent imported car, and the speed is too fast. It seems that the man in the white helmet is trying his best to escape from the police pursuit.

It can also be seen that he has excellent skills. He can turn and drift easily, and even has beautiful arcs. He can be called a motorcycle master. His movements are consistent with the ones when he broke out of the window on the third floor of the Seattle club.

Soon the motorcycle turned into another lane, and five police cars quickly followed from a distance.

"In a dozen kilometers, we will reach the Sujiang Pier. There are too many people there and we're afraid something might happen. Lu He, do you have any ideas?" Han Changlin's voice rang through the intercom.

"Old Han, what's the hurry?" Shen Xiangming's calm voice came from the intercom, but Lu He did not answer.

After five kilometers, Meng Siqi could see the dock of Sujiang Wharf in the distance, and there were piles of containers. There were a large number of transport vehicles, transport workers, pedestrians and tourists at Sujiang Wharf. Han Changlin's reminder made Meng Siqi nervous. Once entering Sujiang Wharf, if the suspect had a gun and took hostages, it would be a tough fight.

Just as she was getting anxiously worried, in her tense vision, a white motorcycle crashed into a group of people, who seemed to be police officers. However, the motorcycle was going too fast and there was no sign of stopping. The police suddenly rushed to both sides and the motorcycle jumped through the gap in the crowd, and in an instant it stumbled on the ground.

Although the man in the white helmet tried to start the motorcycle again, it had obviously lost power.

Five police cars quickly surrounded the area, and Meng Siqi also saw the cause of the emergency scene that had just happened. There was a roadblock on the ground, a roadblock with spikes, and the motorcycle tire was probably punctured by the roadblock.

Meng Siqi saw Shen Xiangming among the police. It seemed that this route was specially set up by Shen Xiangming in order to get rid of the suspect.

Meng Siqi unbuckled his seatbelt and quickly got out of the car, already holding a pistol. Feng Shaomin reminded him, "Xiao Meng, the suspect has a gun, follow me."

"Yes, Master."

All the police officers got out of their cars, took cover under the police cars, and pointed their pistols at the white helmets.

The white motorcycle has fallen to the ground, and the man in the white helmet slowly climbed up from the ground. He was fully armed with a motorcycle uniform and wearing a white helmet. The colorful sunlight was shining on the mirror of the helmet. He was looking at the police who surrounded him.

Meng Siqi leaned against the rearview mirror outside the car and observed the movements of the man in the white helmet. She believed that even if he was carrying a pistol, it would be impossible for him to draw his gun and fight back when surrounded by so many armed forces, let alone escape from the law.

Shen Xiangming raised the loudspeaker: "White helmets, raise your hands, or we will shoot!"

Meng Siqi held her breath and concentrated. She knew that as long as the White Helmet raised his hand, this "game" would be over. When he took off his helmet, his true face would be revealed.

This is the culprit who has framed countless boys and girls, and the devil who has made the night sky of the entire Jinyang City no longer peaceful. He must be brought to justice and must accept severe punishment from the law.

From her angle, she could just see Lu He's profile. His profile was as cold as an ice sculpture on a snowy mountain, and in the river breeze, it showed knife-like lines. His eyes were as sharp as a sword, and the gun in his hand was like a bow and arrow. He only had to wait for the white helmet to move. He would be able to use the most accurate shooting method to hit the suspect's palm when he took out the gun to fight back.

Perhaps Lu He will cross the track of fate in this world, and he will definitely be able to live through the next thirty years.

At this time, the white helmet finally moved his right hand, and Meng Siqi nervously pointed his pistol at his arm. The white helmet stretched out his hands and raised them slowly, and Meng Siqi's frown relaxed a little.

Halfway through, he tried to remove his helmet.

After a while, the white helmet was slowly removed from his head, and Meng Siqi's nervous heart stopped beating as she waited for his true face. But the next second, she was suddenly stunned, and she knew that the Korean team and her master were all stunned by the face under the white helmet.

The face under the white helmet turned out to be...Xu Wangtu!

She simply couldn't believe it. It was Xu Wangtu, Xu Jianfei's father.

The fact that the man wearing the white helmet belonged to Xu Wangtu made Meng Siqi break out in cold sweats in his palms.

"What's going on? Xu Yizhou's grandfather? Xu Wangtu?" Han Changlin shouted questioningly.

Xu Wangtu dropped his helmet and knelt on the ground. Under Jiang Feng's harsh encouragement, he began to cry out, "Why, why are you holding me back?"

"Why? Are you the culprits of Zhou Zhou's crime? Are you the culprits?"

Amid Xu Wangtu's sobbing, Lu He put down his gun and asked, "Captain Han, what's going on?" "How should I know?" Commander Han Lin shook his head.

Shen Xiangming ordered loudly: "Everyone listen to me, arrest the suspect and send him back for trial!"

Everyone looked at Shen Xiangming, as if they were a little confused about his joining. After Shen Xiangming glanced at Lu He, Lu He said, "Captain Han, you know Captain Shen. He is also in charge of the Jia Longhui case this time. You will all participate in the interrogation later. We will know soon whether he is the real White Helmet or not."

Several criminal police officers came forward and arrested Xu Wangtu. Xu Wangtu shouted, "Something must have happened to Zhou Zhou. Something is going to happen to her. I will not let you off!"

Meng Siqi felt vaguely uneasy. Xu Wangtu was definitely not the real White Helmet. There must be some secret here. She looked at the busy Sujiang Wharf in the distance and suddenly felt a chill on her back. The real White Helmet might be looking at them from afar in those cold steel and concrete buildings. He was the real controller, a devil who played everyone at his will!

He likes the feeling of being in control. He planned all of this. He is not old. He is a young man full of vigor. He has a simple understanding of the structure of the world: gods and ants! He fantasizes that he is a god!

Seeing Xu Wangtu in such agitated and painful mood, Han Changlin stopped the criminal police escorting him and asked, "Xu Wangtu, tell me why you are wearing a white helmet?"

"Where did the car come from?" Lu He asked.

This motorcycle was imported. Lu He had paid special attention to it last time. It was not cheap. There were only a hundred of them in Jinyang City. Last time he checked, the motorcycle had a fake license plate. The license plate lying on the ground was exactly the same fake one. It was obvious that the real white-helmeted or white-faced man was performing a shocking drama.

Xu Wangtu's face was filled with anger. He gritted his teeth and tried to break free, but because his arms were restrained, he couldn't break free. He said sadly: "Something must have happened to Zhou Zhou. Something must have happened."

Han Changlin said angrily: "You keep saying that your granddaughter is in trouble. What's the reason?"

"I was held hostage at gunpoint by two strangers," Xu Wangtu said. "They played Zhou Zhou's phone call to me and told me to put on motorcycle clothes, a hat and ride their car. I had to pick up the money at a designated location and deliver it to the Sujiang Wharf, where someone would meet me. They only gave me half an hour, and if I failed to complete the task, Zhou Zhou would die..."

Xu Wangtu is over 50 years old and works in a driving school. He has been engaged in driving teaching. He is in good health and not old. Meng Si, who is in the criminal police team, looks at this distraught middle-aged man with sympathy and doubt.

She remembered that when Zhao Leiting investigated Xu Jianfei, he also investigated Xu Wangtu. He was a motorcycle enthusiast and had been a coach in a club for a period of time. Today, thrilling car racing was undoubtedly his strong point.

In other words, the suspect, White-Faced Man, knew him very well, and Meng Siqi even suspected that the kidnapping was planned by White-Faced Man.

Why did the white-faced man do this? What was his real purpose? All this made Meng Siqi very confused.

Han Changlin asked Xu Wangtu: "Do you remember the appearance of the stranger who kidnapped you, and what were the characteristics of the person who picked you up at Sujiang Wharf?"

“He was wearing sunglasses, a mask and a black suit, so his face couldn’t be seen. The person who met me just said that he would exchange my granddaughter’s watch with me. After the money was exchanged, Zhou Zhou naturally appeared at the dock.”

"What watch?" Han Changlin asked.

"A red plastic watch that I bought her before."

Lu He and Han Changlin exchanged glances almost at the same time, and Lu He said, "Take Xu Wangtu in the car."

Meng Siqi remembered Xu Yizhou's red plastic watch. She had seen it in the photo at her house that time. It seemed that Xu Wangtu was probably not lying.

After the two detectives took Xu Wangtu away, Lu He glanced at Meng Siqi and said to Han Changlin, "Captain Han, send two people to take Xu Wangtu back for interrogation, and the others go to Sujiang Wharf to search now. If Xu Yizhou is at Sujiang Wharf, we must not neglect it."

The Korean team said, "Okay, that's it."

Feng Shaomin immediately looked at Meng Siqi and said, "Captain Han, let's go with Xiao Meng. Xu Wangtu's interrogation is very important. I suggest that Captain Han also bring Xu Jianfei back to the police station. Xiao Meng, you can interrogate him at the same time."

Meng Siqi was a little hesitant because the suspect had a gun and Feng Shaomin must have wanted to protect her safety and not let her join the search.

She really wanted to join the search, but she also understood Feng Shaomin's other intention. Although finding Xu Yizhou was a top priority, there was another important matter, which was the child kidnapping case five years ago, in which four children were killed one after another.

It was she who deduced that Xu Jianfei was a major suspect. Now both Xu Wangtu and Xu Jianfei might be related to the incident, so Feng Shaomin asked her to go back and interrogate them simultaneously.

At this time, Shen Xiangming said loudly: "Let me say this. Lu He and Lao Han will be in charge of the dock search. Siqi and I will go back to interrogate. Five years ago, I was in charge of the kidnapping case. I have a lot of experience in this case. I will guide Siqi. I believe there will be a result soon."

A gust of river breeze blew on Han Changlin's face. He didn't quite understand Shen Xiangming's thoughts.

Seeing no one respond, Feng Shaomin paused for a few seconds at the silent faces of Han Changlin and Lu He, and then said, "Captain Shen will interrogate Xiao Meng, so we can search with confidence."

"Okay, let's do it this way." Shen Xiang said loudly, "Let's get started."

Everyone got on the bus together. Before getting on, Meng Siqi stood outside the door and shouted, "Master, Korean team, and road team, you all be careful!"

Everyone greeted him back, and Lu He turned his head slightly and looked at Meng Siqi.

The wind blowing from the river was blowing, and Lu He's face was cut by wind blades... Meng Siqi found that Lu He's eyes were a little different from usual, with a hint of loneliness. At Shen Xiangming's urging, she got in the car, but found Lu He standing there, motionless.

"Road team," Luo Xiaoguo shouted from inside the car, "Aren't we leaving?"

Zhao Leiting and Han Changlin got in the same car. After the car started, Zhao Leiting could hardly hide his dissatisfaction, "Captain Han, please don't scold me for telling you something private."

"Do you have any ideas in your mind?" Han Changlin glanced at him.

"Shen Xiangming has just met Siqi, but he acts like he has known her for half his life. I won't say anything about that. He said something like 'take Siqi along'. I really don't know who he thinks he is. Why would Siqi want him to take care of her?"

Han Changlin could hear the complaint in Zhao Leiting's tone. After all, Shen Xiangming was an "outsider" and people didn't know him well, and Han Changlin didn't know him well either. Five years ago, Shen Xiangming came to the Municipal Bureau as an expert to assist. It was this kidnapping case at that time. Shen Xiangming did show many excellent abilities, but the case was not solved, which made some people in the Municipal Bureau have a not very good impression of Shen Xiangming.

Han Changlin knew Shen Xiangming. He was Lu He's schoolmate. When they were in the same police academy, Lu He and Shen Xiangming were known as the "twin jades of the police academy". Lu He's ability was obvious to all, which meant that Shen Xiangming must be no bad at all. Moreover, Shen Xiangming became the captain of the provincial department's criminal police at such a young age, which showed that he had special abilities.

However, recently, Meng Siqi quickly found clues to the kidnapping case, and he had to admit that Meng Siqi's potential was amazing. He believed that in the near future she would definitely become a better criminal police than Shen Xiangming.

Han Changlin understands Shen Xiangming's personality. Shen Xiangming gives people a feeling of "arrogance" when he speaks and does things. Perhaps this is a natural confidence in his abilities, so many times, what he says makes people feel uncomfortable, but it must be said that he has excellent assets and a unique personality.

He was just worried that Meng Siqi would be "humiliated" during today's interrogation, and Shen Xiangming would definitely say something that would make Meng Siqi feel uncomfortable. But he believed that Meng Siqi should be able to handle it.

After thinking about it, Han Chang Lin Kuan comforted Zhao Leiting and said, "Don't think too much, Zhao Leiting, take care of yourself. It's not our turn to judge what kind of person Shen Xiangming is."

Zhao Leiting said aggrievedly: "Team Korea, I am just standing up for Siqi. But I believe that in today's trial, Meng Siqi will definitely slap him in the face, and it will be very crisp."

Han Changlin looked out the window and smiled faintly.

The troops were divided into two groups. Meng Siqi and Shen Xiangming took a car, together with two criminal police officers, to take Xu Wangtu back.

As Shen Xiangming drove, he tilted his head slightly, and a faint smile appeared at the corners of his narrow eyes. He comforted Meng Siqi who was sitting in the passenger seat: "Siqi, don't worry. I'm here today, and the interrogation will go smoothly."

"Okay, Captain Shen."

More than an hour later, they returned to the police station. Shen Xiangming asked her to go back and rest and get ready to go to the interrogation room. She would be the presiding judge of the interrogation today and he would help her throughout the process.

Meng Siqi returned to the office, drank some water, and quickly sorted out her thoughts. She knew that Shen Xiangming had already arranged for someone to arrest Xu Jianfei.

Are these father and son related to the child kidnapping case five years ago? She wants to meet them in person!
