The Evil White Nightmare (14)

Feng Shaomin certainly heard Shen Xiangming's hidden message. In fact, his heart was the most complicated. He was Meng Siqi's master. Along the way, he found that she had too many advantages. It can be said that her criminal thinking has surpassed him in many aspects. In fact, for the identity of master and apprentice, it is already a thing of the past. They are more like comrades-in-arms now. As for his apprentice going to the provincial government, he both wishes him well and is reluctant to let him go.

Han Changlin might have the same idea. He wished her well but was reluctant to let her go. Come to think of it, Meng Siqi has added so much excitement to the second team over the past year. She should be included in the team's credit book and should also go to a bigger place to try her luck.

But Zhao Leiting didn't think so. He thought Shen Xiangming was directly challenging the Municipal Bureau. Meng Siqi was the best. Shen Xiangming wanted to be her master, but did she know if she was qualified? Take the kidnapping case five years ago. Shen Xiangming didn't find the murderer, but today, it was all Meng Siqi's credit. The difference was clear.

Different emotions were shown on everyone's face, and everyone had their own thoughts. Only one person, Lu He, had a look of sadness on his face. He didn't know why he was sad. It was as if he had suddenly lost something, and he suddenly felt empty inside.

Meng Siqi is so strong-willed. As long as she tells everyone today, in front of Shen Xiangming, that she can consider going to the provincial government, then everything will be reversed without any procedures.

Everyone looked at Meng Siqi. Shen Xiangming smiled and asked again: "Siqi, do you want to go to the provincial government? I formally invite you!"

Meng Siqi was just immersed in her thoughts about Xu Wangtu. She heard Shen Xiangming's words clearly. She didn't expect Shen Xiangming to ask for someone in front of so many people. She felt that she was not qualified to go to the provincial department. She still had a lot to learn. Here, she couldn't bear to leave her master, Zhao Leiting, Han Dui and Xiaochuan. She didn't want to leave them.

There is also an unsolved case here, the Xiang Jie case, which has always been a pain in the hearts of Master and Sister Rong.

There is also Lu He here. The serial murder case of Red Makeup is still an unsolved mystery.

She had to stay, because of them, because of these unsolved cases, she had to stay here.

Familiar and passionate eyes filled her eyes. She moved from her master and Zhao Leiting's faces to Lu He's. His brows were filled with pity and sadness, and his eyes were filled with sorrow. She said to him in her heart, Lu He, the case is not solved yet? What do you think? Is it true?

She raised her eyes again and looked over their heads. The setting sun was shining brightly, shining on the spacious courtyard and the faces of these lovely detectives. The setting sun was also chasing Xu Wangtu's shadow. His slow and elegant steps were about to reach the gate of the police station courtyard.

Suddenly at this moment, a picture suddenly appeared. The sunset and the glow in front of me seemed to be torn apart by an invisible force. In a blink of an eye, it was dark night. A bonfire was burning on the ground. Next to the fire, a man was lying on the ground. In his arms, he held an unconscious child, a little boy of about six or seven years old.

The school uniform was placed under the child. The man's hands were like insect claws, thin and sharp. He even used his body to violate the child and did many disgusting things.

Meng Siqi's chest was heaving. She saw with her own eyes that the man was not wearing a glove on his left hand, but he was wearing a glove on his right hand and was turning the pages of a book.

He then used his right hand to pick up an eraser and slid it over the child's body, smearing something, while his left hand was caressing wantonly...

At that moment, the man raised his head, and Meng Siqi saw his face clearly. His facial features were so clear in the firelight, and it was a devilish, neurotic smile.

Those images disappeared in an instant like flowing light, and the man disappeared in the pictures, but reappeared in reality, and that was Xu Wangtu.

The dizziness came again, making Meng Siqi's ears ringing and his body shaking violently.

In an instant, she seemed to be held firmly by someone.

Zhao Leiting found that Meng Siqi seemed to be staring ahead. She might be hesitant to make the decision to go to the provincial department, but suddenly, her body began to shake. At that moment, Shen Xiangming reached out to support her, but another person walked briskly, faster than Shen Xiangming, and grabbed Meng Siqi in the blink of an eye.

That person is Lu He.

When Meng Siqi saw that it was Lu He, her arms and back were already warm from Lu He's sweaty palms, and the unique woody smell on his body brought her peace in the aftershock of the scene. She slowed down, said thank you, and Lu He slowly let go of her hand.

Just as everyone was about to pay attention to Meng Siqi's health, she shouted, "Team Lu, Team Han, there's something wrong with Xu Wangtu!"

She rushed over, but Zhao Leiting was faster than her. He ran out to the courtyard and stopped Xu Wangtu at the door.

Xu Wangtu turned around tremblingly, facing Meng Siqi's serious face, and sneered: "Do you have anything else to do?"

"Xu Wangtu, you are the real murderer of the child kidnapping and murder case five years ago. You have been at large for five years. Now your granddaughter has been kidnapped and your son has taken the blame for you. Don't you feel ashamed?"

Xu Wangtu's face suddenly turned pale and dark, but the look in his eyes was very stubborn, "Why do you say I'm the murderer? Ridiculous! I can tell you that even if my son confessed, it was because you forced him to do so. You have no evidence. Did you tell him that only by confessing can Zhou Zhou be saved? You are simply inducing a confession. I will sue you."

Meng Siqi said calmly, "Six years ago, Xu Jianfei was expelled from school and faced a dark life. Your son was your greatest pride, and you could not accept this reality, so you wanted to threaten Liu Zizi's family. You kidnapped Liu Zizi. Maybe you didn't want to kill her, but you had a paranoid love for children. That time, you covered Liu Zizi's mouth and nose and suffocated her to death."

Just as Meng Siqi was deducing, Lu He also walked towards the courtyard gate. Han Changlin and Feng Shaomin all walked over at the same time, so Shen Xiangming also approached her.

"You found the landline number in Liu Zizi's test paper. You took the opportunity to call Liu Zizi's family and pretended to extort money. You set a ransom but did not make any new phone calls because Liu Zizi was already dead."

Xu Wangtu suddenly seemed to have caught her loophole and said proudly, "What nonsense are you talking about? Liu Zizi was kidnapped, and she is not dead. She is studying in a junior high school now, and she is doing well."

Meng Siqi sneered faintly: "Really? You admit that you kidnapped the wrong person, right? Because your goal at the beginning was to kidnap Liu Zizi, but you kidnapped the wrong person. Before school was over, Liu Zizi and her classmate Qian Shuyin exchanged the dolls on their backpacks, and Liu Zizi gave the teddy bear to Qian Shuyin. As fate would have it, you kidnapped the wrong person. When you were molesting Qian Shuyin, you found out that her name on the notebook was Qian Shuyin. You knew you were wrong, but you had to make the best of it, right? Xu Wangtu?"

At this moment, Xu Wangtu's face was pale, with beads of sweat oozing from his forehead, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "It's all your guesses. You women are so terrible."

Meng Siqi remained calm and composed: "Your son Xu Jianfei may have discovered the secret that you are the murderer of the kidnapping case at some point. I speculate that Qian Shuyin's evidence must have fallen somewhere and was discovered by your son Xu Jianfei, but he has not revealed it to anyone for five years. He also helped you cover up the crime. If I am not mistaken, the red scarf is missing from Qian Shuyin's belongings, because the red scarf may have been lost somewhere. In the car?"

"You must have looked for it before, but your son Xu Jianfei found it accidentally. Children like to write their names on their red scarves. Qian Shuyin was his former student. He guessed that you were the murderer of Qian Shuyin. Perhaps this red scarf has been destroyed by your son Xu Jianfei. Today, when he learned that the kidnapping of Xu Yizhou was closely related to the kidnapping case five years ago, he had to make a sacrifice. Either give out you, the real murderer, or confess himself, just to save Xu Yizhou."

Xu Wangtu was not old, but at this moment his hands, hanging by his sides, began to tremble uncontrollably, and the skin on his face began to twitch slightly, his gray cheeks were covered with cold sweat.

He no longer had the strength to refute it, but he still gritted his teeth and insisted: "You also said that Jian Fei destroyed the red scarf. Do you have any evidence? You don't!"

"I have it!" Meng Siqi said decisively.

She remembered the scene just now clearly, in which Xu Wangtu picked up the eraser with his right hand and rubbed it on the child's body, while his left hand was still caressing the child. Perhaps the eraser's packaging paper was too hard, so he tried to push open the eraser's packaging paper sheath with his thumb. At this moment, he stretched out his left hand fingers and pulled out the eraser from the packaging paper sheath.

Meng Siqi said calmly, "For the sake of excitement, you molested the child with one hand without gloves, and turned the pages of a book with the other hand wearing gloves. Afterwards, you wiped off the child's fingerprints, so the police did not find any fingerprints on the child or in the remains. But you certainly did not expect that you handled all possible fingerprints on the child, but you also left a detail behind."

"Do you like to smear the children with erasers? Because in the autopsy report, there was eraser powder left on the skin of the deceased. Four children had erasers in their schoolbags, but only one child's eraser was wrapped in paper. And this is exactly the detail we missed -"

"If I'm not mistaken, Xu Wangtu!" Meng Siqi said in a calm and powerful tone, "You once pushed away the eraser packaging paper, and your left index finger and thumb touched the eraser. Because your fingers were stained with ink, very clear fingerprints were left on the eraser! Think about it, think about it carefully!"

Xu Wangtu might really be thinking about this detail, because he was calm for a moment, but soon his pupils were filled with fear and despair, and his lips trembled a little: "All this... How do you know? Why do you know?"

He was finally defeated. His entire body felt as if all the bones had been whipped out of it. He fell limply to the ground and began to tremble on the ground.

In the eyes of everyone present, this was a gratifying scene, and the murderer was brought to justice in a smooth and seamless manner.

Chief Han Lin excitedly called on Zhao Leiting and Tang Xiaochuan to arrest the suspect and prepare to test the physical evidence.

While Zhao Leiting was handcuffing Xu Wangtu, who was lying on the ground pretending to be dead, he glanced at Shen Xiangming. Shen Xiangming was standing at the front of the crowd. His expression seemed to be frozen, and his eyes always showed an expression of disbelief.

Yes, Zhao Lei Ting couldn't believe it. Ever since he met Meng Siqi, she was always able to analyze rationally, peel off the silk and kill with one sword, as if she was peeling off a person's heart.

Maybe the interrogation of Meng Siqi in the afternoon was just a trial run, but now Shen Xiangming must believe it. If he wants to "take" Meng Siqi, he may have to think twice.

Lu He's lips curled up again, his eyes bright with appreciation. There was another team of police officers. It was not the first time that they had appreciated Meng Siqi's brilliant criminal analysis. She had once astonished everyone in the Ruan Mengying case. Now she was just replicating the surprise of that time.

After Xu Wangtu was taken away by two policemen, Feng Shaomin said, "Disciple, today's analysis is very interesting. Master is happy for you."

This was the first time Feng Shaomin called his disciple Meng Siqi in public. He never hesitated to praise her in front of outsiders. Meng Siqi felt embarrassed and said hurriedly, "Thank you, Master. It's all because of your good teaching."

Shen Xiangming heard the master and disciple's conversation at this moment. He curled his lips and said nothing.

Lu He said, "Siqi, I remember this case five years ago. The bureau made great efforts at that time, and even alarmed the provincial department experts, but unfortunately, the case was not solved at that time, and the murderer was at large for five years. You performed very well today."

When Lu He mentioned the words "provincial department expert", his tone was quite serious, and Shen Xiangming's expression was as if he was pricked by something, his brows wrinkled, and his lips were tightly pursed.

Meng Siqi didn't expect Lu He to praise her and talk to her so much. This didn't fit his calm and taciturn personality. Maybe he was really happy for her. Her face flushed slightly. "Thank you, Captain Lu. It was based on your work and Captain Shen's work that I was able to find some clues."

Shen Xiangming's Adam's apple rolled and he gave a very forced smile.

Then Luo Xiaoguo, Yan Chun and Cai Shuangxi praised her one after another. Meng Siqi felt that it would never end. She felt embarrassed and her face was hot.

Shen Xiangming, who was left out, suddenly said, "Siqi's performance is really good. She deserves to go to a bigger place to display her talent. Siqi, is there any problem with going to the provincial government?"

Meng Siqi didn't want to go to the provincial government, but she didn't want to lose face in front of so many people. Most importantly, no one dared to say anything. There was a long time in the future. Maybe Han Changlin Fengshaomin and Lu He might go to the provincial government. Then maybe she would consider going to the provincial government. Therefore, she couldn't be too direct, so she said tactfully: "Captain Shen, you asked too suddenly. Can I think about it before I reply to you?"

Han Changlin probably saw her hesitation and said hurriedly, "Let's give Xiao Meng some time to think and then we can withdraw. After all, we still have important work to do next, right, Captain Shen?"

Yes, there is still important work to do. How much does Xu Wangtu, the white-faced man, have to do with this matter? Where is Xu Yizhou? Is he still alive?

Because of Han Changlin's words, everyone's expressions became a little serious. Meng Siqi followed the large group back to the police station. On the way, she found Lu He looking at her. Although his emotions were very indifferent, she always felt that it was different from before. She deliberately walked to Lu He and asked about the search situation at Sujiang Wharf.

Lu He told her that the search at Sujiang Wharf was fruitless, but he was certain that this incident was related to the White-Faced Man.

Meng Siqi feels that now that the kidnapping case has been solved, the secret behind the Xu Yizhou case should be revealed soon.

She and Lu Heqianqian smiled at each other, then separated as the team and headed towards their respective offices.

That day, Han Changlin found the eraser and took it to the technical department for inspection. Soon, he found Xu Wangtu's fingerprints on the eraser. Because the eraser was wrapped in a cardboard cover, no one had discovered any details. This means that Xu Wangtu closed the cardboard cover after using the eraser and ignored the fingerprints. It was this cardboard cover that protected the fingerprints.

The evidence of the crime is solid, all that remains is to interrogate Xu Wangtu.

Han Changlin believed that it must be Meng Siqi's meticulous observation and reasoning that allowed him to find this important evidence. He was quite moved, but also a little regretful, because Meng Siqi might have to leave the Municipal Bureau.

However, that evening, Meng Siqi heard the news that Xu Wangtu was foaming at the mouth in the detention center and was sent to the hospital. Although his life was not in danger, he might have to wait until he was discharged from the hospital for another interrogation.

Meng Siqi was not happy at all when Xu Wangtu was executed. The tragic case five years ago had a huge impact on the four families. Although she found the murderer, she could not find their children, which was what hurt her the most.

She must bring this kidnapping case that spanned five years to a successful conclusion, arrest the White-Faced Man, and find Xu Yizhou.
