The Evil White Nightmare (21)
"Captain Han, Brother Feng, I'm at the post office now," Tang Xiaochuan called the office from the post office. "Meng Siqi's bike is parked at the door, but I don't know where he went."
"Xiaochuan," Han Changlin replied, "Look around first. What if she goes to buy something nearby?"
At this time, in the office of Team 2, Han Changlin and Feng Shaomin were both worried, because at 11 o'clock in the morning, Meng Siqi and Feng Shaomin asked for half an hour's leave, but at two o'clock in the afternoon, they had not returned, so Tang Xiaochuan drove to the post office to confirm the situation.
Feng Shaomin shook his head and said, "There are no shops near the post office. It is very likely that she encountered some kind of situation!"
Han Changlin saw Feng Shaomin's tense expression and knew that he was very worried about his disciple. However, Meng Siqi had only been out of contact for three hours, so he couldn't completely confirm that she was in danger. Besides, she was so smart that she wouldn't encounter any situation that she couldn't handle.
"I know Xiao Meng," Feng Shaomin said. "She is very obedient. If she has something to do, she will definitely call me. At least she won't make me worry."
At the door, Zhao Lei Ting rushed in breathlessly, "Captain Han, Brother Feng, Meng Siqi has not returned to her residence. I just went to the archives and library, Siqi's favorite places, to look for her, but no one said she was there."
"Will she go home? There is a shopping mall in her house, so she might have gone to the mall?" Han Changlin asked.
Zhao Leiting replied: "I called her home and the mall, and Aunt Chang and Manager Ma answered the phone. They both said they had never seen Siqi. I didn't let them tell anyone about this because they were afraid her parents would worry."
Feng Shaomin said with certainty: "Xiao Meng is not a child. Even if there is an emergency at home, she will definitely notify the bureau first."
"Is it related to the case?" Han Changlin asked. In fact, this was what Han Changlin was most worried about.
At this moment, Feng Shaomin's face had lost color. Zhao Leiting asked, "Captain Han, are you saying it's related to the kidnapping case?"
Han Changlin said, "Yes, don't you remember that Xu Wangtu was threatened by the white-faced man? What if the white-faced man threatened Xiao Meng in the same way? In that case, she would have no other choice."
At that moment, Zhao Leiting's face turned pale, and he stammered, "The white-faced man has nothing to do with Siqi, what is he going to do?"
"He must be provoking the police!" said Han Changlin. "We destroyed the Seattle club, and he must be resentful."
Zhao Lei Ting's forehead was covered with cold sweat and he stood there in a daze.
Han Changlin felt that maybe Feng Shaomin had already realized the situation, but he was still unwilling to believe it, because he could not allow anything to happen to his second disciple again, he could not afford it in his lifetime.
After he said this, Feng Shaomin's eyes were already red. He didn't move, but just pursed his lips tightly, his face ashen.
Han Changlin was anxious, but he had seen many storms before, so he couldn't lose his composure at this moment. He immediately said, "Zhao Leiting, go find Lu He right away. Isn't he investigating the white-faced man? Tell him about this right away. Old Feng and I will think of other ways. Xiao Meng is so smart that he must have left some clues."
"Okay, I'll go right away." Zhao Leiting ran out the door.
After Zhao Lei Ting arrived at the team's office, he rushed in hurriedly. At this time, Lu He was discussing something with Luo Xiaoguo and others in front of the crime board.
Seeing Zhao Leiting coming in, Luo Xiaoguo's first reaction was to frown and say, "Zhao Leiting, why are you so anxious?"
"Team Lu, Meng Siqi is missing!" Zhao Leiting shouted.
Luo Xiaoguo was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened. Yan Chun and Liang Yunfeng turned around, horrified.
The chalk that Lu He was writing on suddenly fell to the ground. He turned around, frowning, and his voice seemed to be stuck in his throat: "What did you say?"
"Zhao Leiting, please tell me slowly what happened?" Luo Xiaoguo said anxiously.
Zhao Lei Ting ran up to them and panted, "Siqi went to the post office to mail something at 11 o'clock, and there has been no news for three hours. We have looked everywhere for her, but there is no sign of her. The Korean team analyzed that she was probably threatened by the white-faced man like Xu Wangtu!"
"Damn, another white-faced guy?" Luo Xiaoguo glanced at Lu He, "How dare this bastard kidnap a policeman!"
"Where is Lao Cao? Why haven't you given me the list yet?"
Lu He punched the crime board hard, and the crime board fell down immediately, hitting the ground with a loud bang. Lu He suddenly became furious, making everyone present silent. Zhao Leiting had never seen Lu He like this before.
Luo Xiaoguo was the first to react, "Liang Yunfeng, hurry up and urge Lao Cao."
Liang Yunfeng immediately ran to the door and almost bumped into a figure at the door. Liang Yunfeng made an emergency move to avoid the figure and almost fell down. The person was Lin Mingjia from the Information Department. She was still in shock, patted her chest, ran to Lu He, handed him a piece of paper, and said breathlessly: "Sorry, I just finished the statistics, Lu team..."
Holding the Lu He in his hand, Zhao Leiting found that his fingers were shaking occasionally, but he still read ten lines at a glance.
Lin Mingjia panted and said, "I found that there are 200 to 300 families with purchase records of this brand of white imported motorcycles, all of whom are wealthy families. There are at least 150 families that produced motorcycles in the year of the White Helmet, and I have marked them all."
"One hundred and fifty?" Luo Xiaoguo said bitterly, "How long will it take to find out all the one hundred and fifty? By the time we find out, it will be a long time."
Zhao Lei Ting then realized that the sweat on his forehead had already dripped onto his clothes. His eyes were soaked with sweat, but the beating of his heart was numb.
But Lu He was still able to read these hundreds of messages carefully. Not only him, but everyone's eyes were now on Lu He.
Lu He finished reading the three pages and gave them to Luo Xiaoguo, who immediately said, "Yan Chun, you guys, lift the board."
Yan Chun, Lin Tao and Cai Shuangxi lifted up the crime board, and Luo Xiaoguo pasted three pieces of paper on the edge of the crime board.
Lu He turned around and looked at the crime board again. He knew that now only calmness, extreme calmness, could save Meng Siqi.
He folded his arms, put one fist under his chin, and looked at the information on the crime board with a sharp gaze.
He tried to enter a meditative state, but Meng Siqi's face appeared in his mind again, and he suddenly felt uneasy.
At this time, Luo Xiaoguo noticed that Lu He lowered his head and pinched his eyebrows with his fingers, as if he was a little uneasy.
Lu He was under too much pressure now. Luo Xiaoguo knew that no one could bear this kind of pressure, but no one could help him now. He knew that if Lu He couldn't break the situation, then there would be no one else in the entire police station who could. Maybe Meng Siqi could help him, but that was undoubtedly a pipe dream now.
Not only him, everyone was in a state of anxiety. Everyone's face was pale and their foreheads were covered with sweat. Even Lin Mingjia was biting her lips, which were very pale. Luo Xiaoguo waved at her, meaning to go back first.
Lin Mingjia nodded and slowly left the tense and anxious atmosphere.
"Lu He, do you really care about me?"
"I hope you will remember what you said now in every action you take in the future...If you die, I will consider the pursuit of others. I mean what I say."
Lu He suddenly remembered what she said, and that voice circled in his mind over and over again.
He wondered why she said that, because she cared about him too? No, Lu He had always thought that it was not the case. Was this her hidden message?
Does she care if he's okay?
Lu He shook his head, but then affirmed that Shen Xiangming said that he didn't understand feelings at all, but he understood the meaning of Meng Siqi's words, and that was enough.
This was really enough. Lu He's blood was boiling infinitely, as if Meng Siqi had given him powerful strength.
He shook his head slowly and looked at the crime board. He became calmer and calmer, gradually entering a meditative state.
Twenty-four years ago, if the white-faced man was really connected with Xu Wangtu, then there was only this possibility.
Xu Wangtu's wife was teaching at Hope Primary School at the time. Judging from his repeated profiles, the white-faced man should be very young. At that time, he must have been a student at Hope Primary School. Perhaps for some reason, he knew Xu Wangtu.
Lu He's attention returned to the crime board. He had investigated Xiwang Primary School in the past two days and brought back group photos of teachers and students. Xu Wangtu's wife Xie Wenjuan had taught at Xiwang Primary School for three years and there were two group photos in total.
One of them is a group photo of teachers and students, and another is a classroom photo. These are all black and white photos. The group photos are all standing photos. Every child has a smile on their face. Xie Wenjuan is sitting in the middle of the first row.
The group photo in the classroom was a panoramic shot taken from the direction of the classroom door. Xie Wenjuan stood at the back. Almost every child's face was shown. They put their arms together on the table, stood straight, looked at the blackboard with smiles on their faces, and some children even showed their gapped front teeth.
He read over each face, and he even matched the faces in the two photos.
But these faces didn't mean anything at all. After twenty-four years, they should have changed, and the changes must have been significant. He turned over the photos and pasted them back on the crime board. The name of each child was recorded on the back of the photos.
He looked again at the list compiled by the Information Department and checked quickly. Strangely enough, none of the names in the photo matched the names on the list.
The information department clearly put labels on every family member who bought the imported motorcycle. So there shouldn't be any missing ones. Could it be that the white-faced man used someone else's motorcycle?
No, Lu He felt that he had made a misunderstanding. A name does not mean anything. A person’s name in elementary school is not the same as his or her name when he or she grows up.
He turned to the front of the photo again and carefully observed the details in the photo. Suddenly, he saw something different in the classroom photo: the little boy sitting in the fourth row by the aisle had his ballpoint pen and eraser on the left side of his desk, while the other students had theirs on the right side.
This means that the child is left-handed. The boy has a bright smile, short hair and a gap in his teeth.
Lu He suddenly woke up. He quickly picked up the list of motorcycles, slid his finger down quickly, and finally found the name.
He remembered that he had met him. At the end of last year, someone reported that the Hong Kong Hotel was suspected of organizing prostitution and keeping sex slaves. He went to the Dragon City Enterprise Building to investigate Dragon City Enterprise's Prince Jiang Sheng.
He still remembered that when he entered the building that day, he saw Meng Siqi. At that time, Jiang Sheng touched Meng Siqi's shoulder, with a frivolous attitude and no respect for her. Later he learned that Meng Siqi only went to Longcheng Enterprise to investigate the case, but Jiang Sheng's behavior was disgusting.
He stretched out his right hand. "Lao Luo, the letter reporting the Hong Kong Hotel from the end of last year. Also, Ruan Mengying's notes!"
Luo Xiaoguo immediately said, "Quick, find it quickly."
A few minutes later, the report letter from last year and a notebook left by Ruan Mengying fell into Lu He's hands.
Yan Chun and Liang Yunfeng have already opened the letter and notebook.
Lu He took a closer look and found that the handwriting was at least 80% similar. It must be the report letter written by Ruan Mengying, but she deliberately distorted the handwriting. She definitely didn't want anyone to recognize her handwriting. But Lu He knew that even if a person's handwriting changed, it still couldn't change her habits.
This letter is undoubtedly an anonymous report from Ruan Mengying, but the white-faced man may know that she reported it. Perhaps it was because Lu He arrived at Longcheng Enterprise to investigate that made the white-faced man believe that Ruan Mengying reported him.
So the white-faced man arranged for people to go to Qingshui City and beat Ruan Mengying's younger brother Sun Mengshu, and then sent the horrific photos to Ruan Mengying as a warning to her.
Yes, this is what happened to Ruan Mengying in the past. Her past is inextricably linked to the Hong Kong Hotel and Longcheng Enterprise.
Xiangjiang Hotel is a subsidiary of Longcheng Enterprise and is directly managed by Jiang Sheng.
The most important thing is that Jiang Sheng is left-handed.
The same little boy as he was twenty-four years ago. Their ages match.
During the investigation, he found that Jiang Sheng had always used his right hand to do things, but when he took a cigarette or did something else that required instinct, he used his left hand. This shows that Jiang Sheng intentionally concealed his left-handed habit, but people will not change their most fundamental habits, so he retained the habit of using his left hand and would occasionally show it.
Lu He was almost certain that the white-faced man was Jiang Sheng. Judging from Jiang Sheng's attitude towards Meng Siqi, he could see at the gate of Longcheng Enterprise Building that day that Jiang Sheng was very "close" to Meng Siqi, which showed that he had been plotting against Meng Siqi for a long time.
He slowly turned over the photo, and the name corresponding to the child on the front of the photo was: He Tiansheng!
The old chairman of Longcheng Enterprise was named Jiang Tian, and the name was not a coincidence. Lu He turned around and said firmly: "Immediately check with Longcheng Enterprise's prince Jiang Sheng, today's schedule, I want to know in ten minutes!"
Luo Xiaoguo was stunned for a few seconds before he reacted. He knew that Lu He had found the answer to the white-faced man. He was Jiang Sheng, the prince of Longcheng Enterprise.
He immediately shouted: "Quick, contact Longcheng Enterprise, contact Jiang Sheng's secretary and assistant! Everyone he knows, quick!"
Zhao Leiting was stunned and sweating. Jiang Sheng, he knew him. He never thought that this white-faced man was Jiang Sheng. He had enough wealth to rival a country. He didn't seem to need to do these things, but he used this wealth to build a devil's den, the Seattle Club. He was a demon who couldn't vent his anger even if he was cut into pieces!
While everyone was urgently investigating, Lu He placed his fists on the table, hunched over like a fully drawn bow, and stared at the entire office.
Zhao Leiting, whose heart was beating violently, saw the firmness and decisiveness in Lu He's eyes, but the tense office atmosphere made him unable to calm down.
The call was also made to the Information Department. Now the entire police station is contacting people Jiang Sheng knows as quickly as possible to look for his whereabouts.
Ten minutes later, both the office and the information department gave Lu He an answer and Zhao Lei Ting a desperate answer. No one knew where Jiang Sheng was now.
"Bang!" There was a thunderous noise in the office. Zhao Leiting's nervous heart was startled by the loud noise. It was the sound of Lu He hitting the table with his fist.
He shouted loudly: "Keep looking. If you can't find it, search the whole city! We must find it even if we have to dig three feet deep!"
Zhao Lei Ting completely overturned his perception of Lu He today. He was not furious, but he was definitely not calm either. He was always so calm, but today he was like a violent storm.
Lu He quickly walked to the crime board and drew an "X" on it with a heavy piece of chalk, breaking the word "Jiang Sheng" into pieces.
He quickly drew an "X" on the name of "White-Faced Man", and the crime board suddenly looked like a sinful black and white fishing net.
"I must kill you!" He gritted his teeth, his eyes red as blood.
There was dead silence.
Zhao Leiting clenched his fists tightly and pressed them against his closed eyes. His wrists trembled slightly. He faced a wall and tried hard not to cry.
