The Evil White Nightmare (12)

Half an hour later, Meng Siqi returned to the interrogation room. Shen Xiangming was already waiting for her there. When he saw her come in, he lifted the chair with his muscular arms and moved it away, meaning that he wanted her to sit in the main interrogation seat.

In addition to Shen Xiangming, there was another young policeman taking notes in the interrogation room. Xu Wangtu was already sitting opposite the interrogation table with a hint of resentment and despair in his eyes. He must have been afraid that something had happened to Xu Yizhou, so he resented the police.

However, Xu Wangtu is a suspect in this case. He took away the ransom money and staged a car chase with the police car. Just because he said that someone threatened him, it is not necessarily true. In kidnapping cases, kidnappings between relatives are not uncommon, and it is not ruled out that Xu Wangtu may be a disguised person.

However, according to Meng Siqi's intuition, the possibility of Xu Wangtu being in disguise is extremely low, but the fact that he wears a white helmet is too strange. Why did the white-faced man choose Xu Wangtu? Did his son Xu Jianfei participate in the child kidnapping case five years ago? Did Xu Wangtu know about it? She must find out all this.

After being asked for basic information, Xu Wangtu still showed an uncooperative attitude. His eyes were sad and his expression was gloomy. Perhaps only when his granddaughter Xu Yizhou came back would he be able to escape from this state, but now he had to race against time. Without understanding the secret, Xu Yizhou might never come back.

Meng Siqi wanted to get straight to the point: "Xu Wangtu, six years ago, your son Xu Jianfei was expelled from Jinxiao..."

As soon as she said this, Xu Wangtu reacted greatly. He lowered his head, which had been uncooperative and even arrogant, and the sorrow in his eyes was replaced by vigilance.

Meng Siqi has had a lot of interrogation experience, and now she is more confident in capturing expressions. She guessed that Xu Wangtu would have this reaction, but she didn't expect Xu Wangtu's reaction to be greater than she expected. Maybe Xu Wangtu didn't even think that he would be asked about things that happened six years ago when he entered the interrogation room today. It is difficult to conceal a person's inner reaction in milliseconds.

However, after a moment of vigilance, Xu Wangtu's expression returned to its previous state, with a hint of resentment in his eyes.

Meng Siqi observed his expression and asked, "Do you still remember why your son Xu Jianfei was expelled?"

Xu Wangtu said coldly: "What does this have to do with my granddaughter's affairs?"

"Yes, I suspect your son Xu Jianfei may be a suspect in four child kidnapping cases five years ago."

"..." Xu Wangtu's expression suddenly froze, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time, with cloudy eyes.

After a while, he seemed to react. His eyes widened with anger, and his whole body straightened up from its bent state. He gritted his teeth and said, "What evidence do you have? Zhou Zhou is in trouble, and Jian Fei is the saddest. Instead of investigating the murderer, you are talking nonsense here..."

"Xu Wangtu, you are a very good driver!" Shen Xiangming laughed coldly, his momentum was like a knife, "This is an interrogation room, do you think it is your driving school? The person in front of you is Officer Meng, not your trainee. Take a closer look."

Xu Wangtu was indeed suppressed by Shen Xiangming's "momentum". He closed his lips tightly and said nothing. Shen Xiangming's tone suddenly turned gentle, "Siqi, continue."

Meng Siqi pursed her lips and gave Shen Xiangming a faint smile. She felt that Shen Xiangming's "sarcasm" approach was more effective than direct emotional suppression. This also showed that Shen Xiangming had known about Xu Wangtu in advance. As Lu He's schoolmate and the captain of the provincial department's criminal police, Shen Xiangming must be extremely capable.

Next, she planned to tell Xu Wangtu all the clues from her recent investigation and her own speculations.

"Six years ago, Xu Jianfei was a math teacher at Jinyang Primary School. He had a stable job, and you were proud of him, because you raised Xu Jianfei alone, and you had a deep affection for him. He had excellent academic performance since he was a child. After graduating from the Normal College, his teaching level was enough to become a high school teacher, but he liked children, so he entered the city's excellent primary school, Jinyang Primary School. For Xu Jianfei, his wish came true, and for you, you were deeply proud of your son."

Xu Wangtu seemed to be trying to find loopholes in her words. He became much calmer. Finally, he seemed to give her a summary and sneered, "So, he has always loved the child. Why would he harm the child? He has enough food and clothes, so why would he kidnap her?"

"You are right. Xu Jianfei does have everything. You have given him excellent living conditions. However, Xu Jianfei's love for children is different from what ordinary people understand. His love is a deformed love. His love for children is caused by ugly sexual desire."

This sentence made Shen Xiangming's expression change. Love for children is ugly sexual desire. Shen Xiangming participated in a child kidnapping case five years ago, and he had also speculated that the murderer molested the child.

Xu Wangtu must have understood it. The corners of his mouth twitched, as if a muscle had spasmed, and he seemed to be smiling.

Meng Siqi knew that Xu Wangtu must understand what she meant. Six years ago, during the lunch break, a seven-year-old female student named Liu Zizi was called to Xu Jianfei's office to explain her homework. Liu Zizi was a top student in the second grade. However, a major incident occurred at noon that day. Someone discovered that Xu Jianfei had molested Liu Zizi. Later, Liu Zizi admitted it to her parents. As a result, the incident became known to the whole school and Xu Jianfei was expelled from the school.

In the following year, Xu Jianfei's father Xu Wangtu told the school and Liu Zizi's father at least three times that his son did not do such a thing, but he did not get the forgiveness of the school and Liu Zizi's parents.

That year Xu Jianfei had just had a daughter, Xu Yizhou. Because of this incident, he was regarded as a little loser by his mother-in-law's family and was ridiculed by relatives and friends. His wife Zhou Yingjun also filed for a divorce agreement. It was not until a year after the incident that Xu Jianfei was hired as a temporary teacher at a private Olympiad training class.

Xu Jianfei's fate changed because of his excellent teaching, so he has lived a very low-key life in recent years. He even changed the name of the training class to English, "John", so the students' parents do not know that it is Xu Jianfei who "molested" female students, but John, the gold medalist teacher of the Mathematical Olympiad.

After Meng Siqi succinctly recounted this story, he asked Xu Wangtu, "When Xu Jianfei went to the Mathematical Olympiad training class, you spent a lot of money, right? Because the Mathematical Olympiad training class didn't want him at all. If you hadn't spent the money, he might not have been able to get in. Maybe it was a coincidence that after he changed his name, he actually became the gold medal Mathematical Olympiad teacher of the training class."

Faced with her question, Xu Wangtu remained silent, as if he was thinking about something.

After entering the interrogation room, Meng Siqi kept observing Xu Wangtu. She found that Xu Wangtu's lips were chapped, but he never drank water. There was a cup of water on the table, and he occasionally made a move to take the cup, but took it back in time. Moreover, Xu Wangtu always kept his hands in front of him and never touched the table and chairs with his skin. Meng Siqi guessed that Xu Wangtu loved cleanliness and he might have a certain obsession with cleanliness.

Xu Wangtu licked his cracked lips and sneered, "Yes, I spent the money, but what does that prove? The story of Jianfei molesting students is totally false. I know my son very well. He has been interested in mathematics since he was a child. His world is not full of colorful things. He likes children. It is his kind nature. Although Liu Zizi was only seven years old at the time, she is definitely a green tea whore. And Sun Songdian, who claimed that Jianfei molested children, was competing with Jianfei for the position of deputy director of the school. He framed Jianfei. It was a frame-up."

Meng Siqi believes that there is indeed a false illusion in this world that rumors can make a person appear guilty. She found out during this visit with her master that people who knew Xu Jianfei said that he was a sleazy man, and that his behavior seemed to be within their scope of cognition. Liu Zizi was a victim. During this visit, she refused to communicate because she had been hurt. Xu Wangtu called the seven-year-old child a "green tea bitch", which shocked her.

Meng Siqi continued, "Xu Jianfei was depressed for a while. He lost the classroom he loved so much. He liked those children, but he could never go back to the classroom. Five years ago, the first child to be kidnapped was from Jinxiao. I once wondered why it was not Liu Zizi. Later, I figured it out. If he kidnapped Liu Zizi, his identity would be easily exposed, so he adopted a roundabout strategy. He kidnapped Liu Zizi's classmate and killed her. Maybe he felt that he had vented his anger and shocked Liu Zizi's family. But within a year, he couldn't stop his evil claws and committed crimes again and again."

Xu Wangtu sneered: "Women's sensibility is terrible!"

"Xu Wangtu, you probably know a lot about Xu Jianfei," Meng Siqi said in a stern voice, "Five years ago, Xu Jianfei didn't have a car, but you had one, so he had the tools to commit the crime. Five years ago, your car was repaired, because in the third kidnapping case, your car had an accident, and the accident site was the same road that passed by the accident site. These are not coincidences. Have you never thought about why Xu Yizhou was kidnapped? Because there is a cause for every effect, someone knew the facts of Xu Jianfei's crime, and he wanted to set up a new situation, so Xu Yizhou was kidnapped..."

Meng Siqi placed the photo that he had prepared in front of Xu Wangtu, showing a frail girl dragged by a golden lotus leaf. Xu Wangtu's eyes stayed on the photo for a long time. He should have seen it in the newspaper, but the newspaper was a black and white photo. He might not realize that the granddaughter was a continuation of the kidnapping case five years ago, but this color photo might be different.

Xu Wangtu's previous arrogance and pride seemed to be shattered at this moment, and there was even a hint of coldness in his eyes.

Meng Siqi said in a low voice: "Someone knows the facts of Xu Jianfei's crime, and he wants to set up a new situation. Back then, Xu Jianfei used four abstract concepts to set up the four elements of the kidnapping case, gold, wood, water, fire and earth. Today, Xu Yizhou was kidnapped, which is the fifth element, gold."

"I don't know!" Xu Wangtu shook his head, as if talking to himself, "I don't know about the kidnapping. He didn't commit any crime. This is just a coincidence!"

Shen Xiangming turned his head and looked at Meng Siqi. He felt more and more that Meng Siqi was different from many of his female colleagues in the provincial department. She was very calm during the interrogation and inadvertently peeled off the suspect's psychological defenses. He admired this point very much.

"Coincidence?" Meng Siqi said in a strong voice, "Xu Wangtu, do you think this is a coincidence? Why did the criminals kidnap Xu Yizhou and set up a relay for you and Xu Jianfei to trade the ransom money and stage a car chase? Do you think this is a coincidence?"

Xu Wangtu bit his lip, as if he couldn't believe it. At this moment, he looked a little old. He didn't look like a middle-aged man in his fifties, but a weathered old man.

Meng Siqi said: "I hope you will think carefully about what your son Xu Jianfei did five years ago?"

Xu Wangtu suddenly raised his head. His nearly defeated face seemed to be repaired. The corners of his mouth twitched again, and he smiled convulsively: "What do you want me to tell you? Do you think I will believe you? What can you do to save Zhou Zhou?"

Meng Siqi was stunned for a moment. Indeed, she had no plan to save Xu Yizhou now, but she knew that the kidnapping case five years ago must be related to Xu Yizhou. Maybe if Xu Jianfei pleaded guilty, the criminals would let Xu Yizhou go. Otherwise, she couldn't explain why they kidnapped Xu Yizhou? And let the father and son stage a ransom "relay race"?

Meng Siqi said in a stern voice: "If you have committed a crime, you cannot escape the punishment of the law... You should not be complacent. Covering up will only bring this matter to a deadlock and eventually lead to a tragedy that cannot be resolved."

The tragedy is that Xu Yizhou was murdered and died in this conspiracy.

The corners of Xu Wangtu's mouth twitched again, but he had no intention of opening his mouth and just maintained a stiff smile.

At this time, there was a knock on the door. Meng Siqi expected that the search of Sujiang Wharf would not be so quick. After Shen Xiangming said "enter", a young policeman pushed the door open and walked in. "Captain Shen, interrogation room No. 2, Xu Jianfei has been brought in."

Meng Siqi no longer stood straight. She slowly leaned back in her chair and smiled confidently: "Xu Wangtu, you can say nothing, but as for Xu Jianfei, I will definitely make him speak."

Xu Wangtu did not respond and still had that fake smile on his face.

Meng Siqi stood up and said, "Captain Shen, let's go interrogate Xu Jianfei."

In the corridor, Meng Siqi stood quietly for a while. In fact, she did not have that absolute confidence. She felt that both the father and the son had problems in this kidnapping case, and the white-faced man might have chosen this family.

Many people knew about the kidnapping that happened five years ago, and the White-Faced Man must have known about it. Although the White-Faced Man is extremely evil, is there a possibility that his relatives or acquaintances are the families of the four victimized children, and the White-Faced Man wants to take revenge in this way?

The White-Faced Man was in the dark, he planned all this, what did he want to do? Meng Siqi remembered that the White-Faced Man's identity was too complicated. He was the culprit in the Ruan Mengying case, the real controller of the Seattle Club, the mastermind behind the kidnapping of Xu Yizhou, and Lu He also said that he was the murderer of the Hongzhuang serial murder case?

What is his real identity? What is his real purpose? Meng Siqi felt like his head was exploding.

Shen Xiangming had just returned from the restroom and saw Meng Siqi standing in the corridor. She was in a state of stillness, her eyes were clear and bright. Shen Xiangming felt that he needed to get to know her again. She was no longer the Meng Siqi who stayed in the window and won personal awards. These personal awards were child's play in the provincial department, but Meng Siqi always managed to give him surprises.

Take this interrogation for example. Although Xu Wangtu was extremely uncooperative, she had him under her control throughout the entire process. Unlike other interrogations, she often did not need to suppress the other party with strong emotions, but instead had reason and evidence, like a scalpel, peeling off the other party's mask one by one.

However, he also knew that Meng Siqi was still a newcomer. Although she did a good job, it would be too difficult to make Xu Wangtu surrender. He had seen too many interrogations. It would be impossible to pry open the mouth of someone like Xu Wangtu unless he had decades of experience as an interrogation expert.

Of course, he thinks that more opportunities should be given to newcomers, especially such outstanding newcomers, to hone their abilities, which is also a responsibility for the future of the police force.

He asked, "Siqi, did you go drink some water?"

"No, I'm not thirsty."

"No, you need to moisten your throat so that you can interrogate better. I'll ask someone to get you a bottle of water."

"We really don't need Captain Shen." Meng Siqi said with a smile, "Just start the interrogation directly."

"Okay then." Shen Xiangming said with a smile, "Today is your home court, don't be anxious, especially you newcomers, don't be afraid of failure, not to mention I'll back you up today."

"Thank you, Captain Shen. I will do my best."

Entering another interrogation room, Meng Siqi saw Xu Jianfei sitting upright. Xu Jianfei was a little different from when they first met. She remembered that when they met before, Xu Jianfei looked very honest, with a pure feeling in his eyes, but today, his emotions seemed very complicated, even a little flustered.

Xu Jianfei delivered the ransom to the kidnappers today, which might be instructed by his wife, but he had called the police before, which was a decision he made despite the opposition of his wife and father. From his visits to their home, Meng Siqi felt that Xu Jianfei's position in the family was passive and receptive. In short, he listened to his wife and father very much, but why did he call the police without telling his wife and father?

All of this must be done by Xu Jianfei himself.
