The Headless Dismembered Body Case at the Flower Museum (15) Although Meng Siqi was exhausted, she still wanted to participate in Li Muxiao’s interrogation.

Feng Shaomin just walked over, and Cai Shuangxi asked Feng Shaomin again: "Brother Feng, are you guys going to participate in Li Muxiao's interrogation?"

Feng Shaomin said, "Let's send one person. The interrogation room isn't very big. Xiao Meng, do you want to go?"

"Master, I want to go and take a look. I will take notes and show them to you later."

"Okay, let's arrange it this way."

Meng Siqi took the notebook and followed Cai Shuangxi to the interrogation room. As soon as Cai Shuangxi opened the door, the atmosphere of "battle of wits and courage" in the interrogation room immediately spread over him. Meng Siqi's originally tired body suddenly seemed to be rejuvenated and filled with energy again.

Li Muxiao was already sitting opposite the interrogation table. His expression was not as flustered as imagined, but rather calm.

Others who participated in the interrogation included Lu He, Luo Xiaoguo, and Yan Chun. Cai Shuangxi should have been taking notes.

Luo Xiaoguo was sitting in the middle seat. He turned his head and glanced at the door. "Hey, Xiao Meng is here. You should come to this trial."

Luo Xiaoguo moved a seat. Meng Siqi was not prepared at all. She swallowed her throat and said, "Deputy Luo, you should come. I will just participate. I will raise any questions."

"That's fine." Luo Xiaoguo sat back in the main seat.

Meng Siqi walked to Luo Xiaoguo's side. Lu He was sitting on the chair next to him. Their eyes naturally met. The light in Lu He's eyes was quite dim, without any emotion. Maybe he was very tired after running all day.

Meng Siqi sat down. As the door closed, the interrogation room became a closed and dull place again. Luo Xiaoguo faced Li Muxiao with a serious tone: "Li Muxiao, you are really good at it. You fooled us police officers around. You think you can escape the law with your little IQ. I warn you, the law is strict and you can't escape. Tell me the whole process of killing Ruan Mengying and dismembering her body. Every word you say will be used as evidence in court!"

Li Muxiao smiled and said, "Where's the evidence? You should at least show me the evidence, right? You can't say that I killed someone just because I have a dolphin pendant and the same pigment as Xiao Chou."

"You're still trying too hard, aren't you? There's a pair of men's slippers in the room that match your size, proving you've been there. Going there would leave traces. There's your fingerprint on the refrigerator, and the test results will be out immediately. You can't deny it even if you want to."

"Imagination again?"

Luo Xiaoguo stood up suddenly, pointed at him, and said sternly: "Wait for the fingerprints, then you can tell me. I don't have such a good attitude."

"What if I didn't leave any fingerprints?" Li Muxiao's mouth curled up again.

"You!" Luo Xiaoguo suddenly became silent.

In the past, the smile on Li Muxiao's lips might not have attracted anyone's attention, but when Meng Siqi knew that he was the murderer who killed and dismembered people, this smile made people feel very neurotic.

Although he was unkempt, his appearance was not ordinary. If he had some grooming, he would not be so inconspicuous. It was precisely this appearance that did not disgust people or attract girls that made her think that he might be hiding a perverted psychology that was in stark contrast to his appearance.

Perhaps Ruan Mengying was deceived by him and never knew his true face until her death.

"Lao Luo, wait for the fingerprints." Lu He ordered.

Meng Siqi knew very well that if Li Muxiao's fingerprints could not be detected in the house, it might be difficult to convict him. Meng Siqi had thought of this a long time ago, but she believed what she saw, that Li Muxiao was not wearing gloves at the time.

But the picture was fleeting, and she hesitated again. What if he cleaned up everything and there were no fingerprints of his on the refrigerator or in the house? How should she convict Li Muxiao?

Due to Lu He's order, the interrogation room suddenly became quiet, but it did not mean that the interrogation was over, and the atmosphere was still tense.

Meng Siqi suddenly remembered that today's arrest was an emergency operation, and she might not even have a bite to eat. After she returned to the office, Zhao Leiting gave her a few biscuits. She turned her head slightly and glanced at Lu He who was sitting in the chair on the right.

At this time, the incandescent light in the interrogation room was not very dazzling, or rather, the dazzling light was all on the person being interrogated. Outside the interrogation room, Lu He's body appeared in semi-light and semi-dark shadows, with the bright parts being particularly bright and the dark parts being particularly dark.

Just like Lu He himself, she may have only seen his bright side, but not his true other side.

Lu He was looking at the words in his notebook with his eyes slightly lowered. He would also carry a notebook with him during interrogations and occasionally write down key information.

He stretched one foot forward and pressed the other foot backward, with his upper body straight. This posture made the man's leg muscles reveal tight and strong lines. He maintained this posture, holding a notebook as if he was thinking.

But he soon noticed Meng Siqi's gaze, and their eyes met immediately. Burned by Lu He's gaze, Meng Siqi instinctively turned his head away.

"Knock, knock, knock..." There was a knock on the door, and Lu He said, "Come in."

Wang Wei opened the door and reported, "Team Lu, the fingerprints have been detected."

Everyone's expression instantly changed from calm to nervous. Yan Chun stood up and took the report. Luo Xiaoguo couldn't wait to ask: "Xiao Wang, there are fingerprints on the refrigerator, right?"

Wang Wei said, "It's not on the refrigerator. Deputy Luo, please read the report."

Wang Wei closed the door, and Luo Xiaoguo sneered: "Why does this kid only speak half of his words?"

Meng Siqi felt uneasy. How could there be no fingerprints on the refrigerator? She had clearly seen with her own eyes that Li Muxiao had opened the refrigerator without wearing gloves.

Could it be that Li Muxiao really erased the fingerprints afterwards? Meng Siqi couldn't help but look at Li Muxiao again. His expression was still very calm. It was obvious that he was confident and knew that it was impossible to detect fingerprints on the refrigerator.

If Li Muxiao's fingerprints cannot be detected, how can Li Muxiao be convicted?

Yan Chun opened the report, and in the silent interrogation room, only the rustling of papers remained. Meng Siqi could see that Yan Chun's face was also tense.

Everyone's eyes were on his fingers and the important content on those fingertips.

Luo Xiaoguo couldn't wait any longer, "What are you writing? Why are you so slow?"

Meng Siqi had never been so nervous before, just like the moment when the college entrance examination scores were announced, the moment that decided his fate.

Yan Chun stared at the page with a serious expression, "Captain Lu, Deputy Luo, there are no Li Muxiao's fingerprints on the refrigerator!"

Luo Xiaoguo frowned, tilted his head and read along, complaining, "Turn it over again and read the conclusion."

Yan Chun turned the page and looked from top to bottom. His eyes suddenly sparkled and he quickened his voice: "We found traces of blood in the bathroom. We speculated that they were from dismemberment. The dismemberment took place in the bathroom. We found a fingerprint on the edge of the bed in the bedroom and another fingerprint on the knife rack in the kitchen. They were both confirmed to be Li Muxiao's."

Yan Chun was handing the report to Luo Xiaoguo, who had already picked up the notebook on the table and started typing. He seemed to have caught the pleasure of prey. "Li Muxiao, what else do you want to say? You dare to provoke the police station. You deserve to be punished. You are short of life! Tell me, tell me now!"

The conclusion of the test report was pushed into Li Muxiao's eyes. Meng Siqi found that Li Muxiao's expression had not changed much, but a new emotion was stained in his eyes, like sadness and despair.

His world seemed to have stopped, and his expression was still.

Luo Xiaoguo patted the notebook again, and a dull and rapid sound came from the interrogation room, but Li Muxiao remained motionless, only the black part of his eyes turned towards Luo Xiaoguo.

At this moment, the "irritable and hyperactive" Luo Xiaoguo seemed like a "little clown" in Li Muxiao's eyes. He seemed to have actively closed his eardrums, silencing the world. He could not hear the sound of the other party slamming the table and roaring. Instead, he felt that Luo Xiaoguo's exaggerated actions were very strange.

His eyes seemed to convey this message calmly.

A minute later, Li Muxiao finally spoke: "Let me tell you a story."

Luo Xiaoguo said impatiently: "Just tell us what happened during the murder."

"Wait a minute." Lu He said, "Let him speak first."

Luo Xiaoguo immediately said, "Did you hear that, Li Muxiao? I'm giving you a chance to tell a story, but you'd better not say anything that has nothing to do with this case."

Li Muxiao looked forward, but it seemed as if he was not looking at anything. His eyes were vague and empty, and he seemed to be recalling the story.

"Two years ago, when I was selling balloons at the entrance of Carrefour Supermarket, I met a girl named Ruan Mengying..."

Li Muxiao was wearing a clown costume that time. He did not get into a good school and dropped out of high school to work. His life became very confused during that time, and being a clown was not a job he liked.

It was just because his roommate who once shared an apartment with him wore a clown to sell things on the street, and left a set of clowns and makeup for him when he went to another city.

That time, Li Muxiao just wanted to try to sell the balloons and a bag of cheap dolls in his hand. He followed his roommate's example and painted a little ugly makeup on his face. His roommate had taught him before. He painted it quickly, but it didn't look good.

At the entrance of Carrefour supermarket, he was very nervous, wondering whether his "little ugly boy" would be liked by others and whether he could sell the balloons in his hand.

At first, a few children did pester their parents to buy balloons and dolls, but when they saw his face, they backed away in fear.

He knew that his little ugly makeup was a failure. He stood at the door that day like a door god, with balloons flying in his hands. He stood still, people flowed in front of him, and those who looked at him seemed to be mocking.

Li Muxiao felt very depressed. He began to doubt whether he was useless and couldn't even do such a simple thing.

He thought his little scandal was over that day, but at this moment, a girl stopped in front of him.

Her smile was beautiful. Li Muxiao was attracted by her smile the first time he saw her. She stood in front of him, her pale red lips curved, her beautiful eyes curved. She glanced at the puppet in the transparent bag beside him and said to him, "Give me a...dolphin!"

Li Muxiao raised his head. The girl's voice was so sweet that he almost forgot that he was a little ugly.

The girl seemed to see his facial makeup clearly, but she was not afraid or disgusted, she just smiled brightly.

Li Muxiao quickly pulled the dolphin doll out of the big bag and handed it to her. The girl took it and was about to pay for it when Li Muxiao said, "No need. You are the first person to buy something from me. I will give it to you for free."

But the girl insisted on giving him the money. She said it was expensive, but she still stuffed the money into his hand.

She hugged the dolphin doll, said thank you, turned around and left his sight.

He looked at the surging crowd from afar, hoping to see her light blue skirt again from the crowd.

Li Muxiao only sold a doll that day. According to his temperament, he would never do this kind of work again. However, when he was lying on the bed, the girl's face appeared in his mind again and again, and he laughed unconsciously.

The next day, he put on makeup again, but this time he was much more careful. His former roommate had left behind an ugly photo of himself, and he put on makeup carefully based on that photo.

That was the most careful he had ever been in his life. Although his makeup wasn't very good, it was much better than yesterday. At least when he smiled, he looked funny.

He hoped to meet her again today, see her smile, and smile at her in his ugly way.

Returning to Carrefour again, he stood in the same place, eagerly waiting for her to appear, but he never saw her from beginning to end. However, on that day, he sold a small portion of the balloons and dolls in his hands.

The third day, the fourth day, and a week passed, and he still didn't see her, but the sales of balloons and dolls were getting better and better.

It was a month later. When he was playing with the children who were surrounding him, a familiar face suddenly appeared in front of him. He stood there frozen. Maybe he was just a passing stranger to her, but she was eternity in his life.

That day the girl didn't even look at him, but walked away from him. He threw away the balloon and the doll and chased after her. He never thought about where such courage came from.

"Hello, hello, please stay..."

The girl was stopped by his voice. She stood in the crowd and turned around. At that moment, she did not smile, but a beam of sunset light shone on her face. Her face was bathed in a golden halo, and her facial features were delicate and beautiful, just like a gorgeous princess in the most expensive European oil painting, with a magnificent background.

Li Muxiao knew that he fell in love with her.

He swallowed. "Do you remember me? A month ago you bought me my first stuffed animal, a dolphin. Since then, good luck has come to me..."

"Really?" The girl smiled, as if she remembered him.

"I want to get to know you. My name is Li Muxiao. Can I ask your name?"

"My name is Ruan Mengying. It means Sakura, which means cherry blossom."

Ruan Mengying? Li Muxiao remembered it deeply. He mustered up the courage to ask, "Will I be able to see you again in the future?"

"I live not far away."

"Well, Ruan Mengying, I will be selling balloons and dolls here in the future. If you pass by, you must look at me. I am Xiao Chou, the happiest Xiao Chou in the world. I will definitely pass on my happiness to you."

The girl, with red lips and white teeth, smiled and said, "Okay, I will. I'll be leaving now. See you next time."

"See you next time."

Looking at her pretty figure, Li Muxiao's ugly face revealed a funny and beautiful smile, and even the passers-by were attracted by his smile.

Li Muxiao felt that he had succeeded in the first step. As long as he persisted, Ruan Mengying would definitely become friends with him. Perhaps in the near future, he would be able to pursue her seriously.

Although Ruan Mengying rarely appeared afterwards, Li Muxiao seized almost every opportunity. Although he only said a few words, Li Muxiao was very content.

Until one day, when Ruan Mengying came to the supermarket, it started to rain heavily. Li Muxiao brought an umbrella that day and waited for her at the door. She finally showed up, looking at the endless rain curtain with a face full of worry.

Li Muxiao held up his umbrella and said, "Let me take you back."

Ruan Mengying seemed to hesitate for a while, but she nodded.

Li Muxiao walked beside her and held an umbrella for her. Although the umbrella was big enough to cover two people, Li Muxiao moved the center of the umbrella to Ruan Mengying's head.

The supermarket was not far from her home, but the road was difficult to walk in the rain. During this period, Ruan Mengying almost fell down, and Li Muxiao pulled her up. When he touched her arm, he felt his heart beating violently for the first time. Even in that short time, the girl's body temperature remained on his fingertips forever.

Finally reaching the eaves of her building, Li Muxiao put away his umbrella. Ruan Mengying was about to thank him, but she saw that the ugly makeup on his face was already full of holes due to the rain.

The makeup of the little girl was flowing down his chin and neck, making his face colorful.

Ruan Mengying smiled a smile that she couldn't help but laugh, but also showed a bit of heartache and sadness.

She hesitated to speak, but finally said to him, "Go to my room and wash up."

Li Muxiao also hesitated. He didn't know whether to go in, but he still agreed.

He was nervous with every step he took as he walked up the stairs with her. It was not until he entered her house that he was sure that this was not a dream.

This is a very old house, and the interior is very simple, with ordinary furniture. There is a sofa with a dolphin doll on it, which is the one I bought from him.

He naturally thought of a question: "Do you like dolphins?"

"Well, I like dolphins, I like the sea of ​​flowers, and I dream of one day wandering carefree in the sea of ​​flowers like a dolphin." Ruan Mengying said as she found an old T-shirt, "Hurry up and go to the bathroom to wipe it off."

Li Muxiao took the T-shirt and felt a strong warmth in his hands. The T-shirt seemed to have her temperature and scent. He walked into the bathroom and wiped it slowly, but at the end, he stopped.

He realized that the paint-stained T-shirt was ruined, so he folded it up and walked back to the living room.

Ruan Mengying poured him some hot water and said, "Drink some hot water quickly and don't catch a cold."

When Li Muxiao raised his head, Ruan Mengying was a little curious, "Why don't you wipe it clean?"

Li Muxiao smiled shyly, because the paint around his eyes was not washed off. He was just worried that his original appearance would disappoint her, so he deliberately did not wipe it clean.

He explained: "I am Xiao Chou, you can call me Xiao Chou from now on."

Ruan Mengying smiled slightly and handed him the cup of water.

Li Muxiao took the cup and asked, "Can I take the T-shirt with me? Oh, don't get me wrong, because the T-shirt is already damaged, I want to take it with me so I can wipe it off when I remove my makeup. I will buy you a new piece of clothing."

"Don't worry, I was planning to get rid of this T-shirt anyway."

That day, Li Muxiao drank some hot water and left Ruan Mengying's residence.

Things also developed on this day. Li Muxiao spent more time with her, and he occasionally bought good food and cooked for her at her house. But every time he would put on a little makeup around his eyes, he wanted to make her happy forever.

That was the happiest time for Li Muxiao and Ruan Mengying. Although they had not yet had physical contact, Li Muxiao knew that Ruan Mengying would soon become the love of his life.

A month later, their relationship had reached the point where they could talk about anything. During a meal at her house, Ruan Mengying asked him to borrow some money for a friend who needed it urgently. Li Muxiao handed him his savings without saying a word. Ruan Mengying offered to write an IOU, but Li Muxiao refused. Ruan Mengying promised to pay him back soon.

That money was almost all of Li Muxiao's savings, but he thought that it would belong to her sooner or later.

This money is like a doorstep to precious love. Ruan Mengying trusts him, and he also hopes to give her a better material life through hard work. His relationship with Ruan Mengying must go a step further.

For the first time, he didn't put on any makeup, retaining his natural appearance. He prepared flowers and an engagement ring, and walked towards Ruan Mengying's residence with great excitement.

He found that Ruan Mengying was not at home. He knew that Ruan Mengying worked in a bank and might be working overtime. However, that day, he waited all night but did not see Ruan Mengying.

Li Muxiao didn't see her for several days after that. He went to the bank where she worked to confirm, but the bank told him that Ruan Mengying had already resigned.

Ruan Mengying disappeared, disappeared from his world.
