5 camouflage, crisp and neat, standard hand salute
Meimei was wearing a single coat and standing barefoot on the blue-gray terrazzo floor in the corridor.
Her big eyes were shining with tears, and her voice was weak and timid: "Sister, you came with my mother, right? Have you seen my father?"
[Damn woman, stinky bitch! You are not a policeman. You are so lenient when you come to my mother and talk nonsense. I hate you, get away from me.]
The voice coming out of his mouth was sweet and soft, but the voice coming out of his heart was bitter and mean. When these two completely different voices sounded in his ears and in his mind, the corners of Zhao Xiangwan's lips turned down, and a trace of ridicule flashed in his eyes.
——You are only eleven years old, but you are so good at pretending.
Zhao Xiangwan's eyes were sharp, and under his gaze, Mei Mei felt that her little thoughts were invisible, which made her nervous.
Meimei clenched her fists tightly and avoided Zhao Xiangwan's eyes. When she saw Xu Songling's back through the double swing doors of the emergency room, she immediately seemed to have found her backbone and ran quickly.
Pat pat pat, pat pat pat...
The sound of his bare feet on the terrazzo floor was very loud in the corridor, alarming the couple who were accompanying their child in the emergency room.
Xu Songling turned around, and Mei Mei ran to him like flying, hugged his waist, her voice full of grievance: "Dad, where have you been? Meimei is afraid..."
Seeing the child's bare feet on the ground, Xu Songling picked her up distressedly. Meimei snuggled into her father's arms, as if she wanted to draw energy from him.
Zhou Qiaoxiu stared coldly at the adopted daughter she held in her hands and loved, trying to control her emotions. Without Zhao Xiangwan's help, the baby might have been killed by the couple, or taken to the countryside to suffer. But.
Meimei, the instigator, had the nerve to appear in front of her and openly snatch Xu Songling's attention and love.
"Mom..." A weak call broke the heavy atmosphere in the ward.
Zhou Qiaoxiu threw all love and hate behind her and rushed to the baby: "Baby, are you awake? Do you feel uncomfortable? Do you have a headache? Come on, drink some water."
As soon as he saw his mother's face, the baby burst into tears and raised his arms around his mother's neck: "Mom, the baby is obedient and doesn't run around. Don't sell me."
It was the first time she heard the wayward baby say such words. She hugged the baby's limp body tightly in her arms. Zhou Qiaoxiu felt like there were ten thousand ants biting her heart. The thin pain made it difficult for her to breathe, and her throat felt like
It was stuffed with a ball of cotton and I couldn't say a word.
Meimei raised her head from her father's arms and looked down at the baby, her eyes full of surprise: "Baby, you are back! It's so good."
The baby didn't respond.
She was so frightened that she hugged her mother and refused to let go. She even refused to scream at Xu Songling, let alone leave her sister. She did not accuse her sister, but just hugged her mother and begged her not to leave her.
Zhou Qiaoxiu coaxed the child softly and kept in mind the doctor's instructions to give her water. When the child finally fell asleep peacefully, she turned around and faced Meimei.
This account must be settled now! Zhou Qiaoxiu cannot wait until the night. Even if it is already two o'clock, even if Meimei is pitifully barefoot, even if this is a hospital.
"Come out with me."
Xu Songling stood aside with Meimei in his arms, worried about being ignored by Zhou Qiaoxiu and the baby. After hearing Zhou Qiaoxiu's instructions, he immediately walked to the corridor behind his wife.
Before going out, Zhou Qiaoxiu glanced at Zhao Xiangwan, her eyes full of apology: "Xiangwan, I'm sorry to have delayed you for so long. I'll take you back to school after I've taken care of the housework."
Zhao Xiangwan, who has always been steady, nodded: "Okay."
Zhou Qiaoxiu stood in the corridor and took a deep breath: "Meimei, do you know where I found the baby? I have to thank you and Zhao Xiangwan for the information you mentioned, the back door of the park, fried melon seeds. There are people coming and going at the back door of the park.
It's easy to be found out, so you take your baby through an old community and send her to a small alley. There are three roasted seed shops there, and Lao Wu's roasted seed shop is closest to the street. I heard from neighbors that this couple
You have always wanted a daughter, so you deliberately left the baby there, knowing that they would hide her, right?
I really underestimated you for being so considerate. It was obvious that you deliberately took the baby to the back gate of the park and threw it away, but you told us and the police that the baby let go of your hand at the playground and that you had nothing to do wherever he went.
Remember, your heart... is so cruel!"
Zhou Qiaoxiu's voice was very calm at the moment, but underneath that calmness was brewing a huge storm. After more than ten years of marriage, Xu Songling saw his tolerant and generous wife like this for the first time, and his face suddenly became ugly.
If what Zhou Qiaoxiu said is true, then the eleven-year-old child in his arms is a devil!
Meimei stared at her mother blankly, with tears in her eyes, and said with a choked voice: "Mom, I really don't know, what about the back door, roasted seeds and nuts shop, those are what the sister said. My baby got lost.
I’m scared too, please believe me.”
Meimei struggled to get down from her father's arms, stood barefoot on the ground, rushed to Zhao Xiangwan, raised her little face and said with a cry.
"Sister, why did you want to harm me? I couldn't understand the questions you asked me. Why did you say that I deliberately killed my sister? The day my parents adopted me from the orphanage, I was really grateful.
Thank God for sending me such good parents after I was abandoned by my biological parents. I know how to be grateful. Really, I study hard and take care of my sister. I will repay my parents well. How could I deliberately abandon my sister?
What's wrong? The baby is my mother's life, how could I be so bad!"
However, Zhao Xiangwan heard her heart screaming crazily.
[You bad woman! If you hadn't been so talkative, this crybaby would have left this home long ago. After my mother is sad for a while, she will accept the reality. She and her father will only love me, and they will only love me forever!]
Facing Meimei's tearful eyes, Zhao Xiangwan said calmly: "If my sister is gone, you will be the only child in this family. Your parents will always love you, right?"
Meimei felt that the slender and tall strange sister in front of her was so scary, as if she could see through her dark heart. Every word she spoke made her feel breathless and her heart beat faster. An unprecedented sense of crisis came to her heart, and she widened her eyes.
eyes closed: "You are talking nonsense!"
Zhao Xiangwan did not continue to quarrel with Meimei and looked up at Xu Songling: "Officer Xu, expressions are the first neurological reaction when people encounter effective stimuli. They occur before rational thinking and are more real than words. I can tell through people's expressions
Changes can be used to judge whether he is lying, and the truth can also be found out by setting questions. The questions I asked Meimei before were all intentional, as evidenced by the fact that I was able to quickly find the baby in the roasted nuts shop. So... please trust Teacher Zhou's judgment.
,Meimei is by no means an innocent child."
As a criminal police officer who often deals with criminals, Xu Songling naturally has a set of experience in identifying lies. It was the first time he heard that the truth could be accurately discovered through facial expressions and conscious questions. He thought it was simply a fantasy. If there were
If such a person existed, then if the criminals who had encountered difficulties in the past were directly asked by Zhao Xiangwan to reveal the truth, why would they need police interrogation?
It was too fantasy, Xu Songling subconsciously retorted: "It's impossible."
Zhao Xiangwan took a step forward and got closer to Xu Songling: "Officer Xu, today you were unable to take the children to the park because of a temporary mission. How about we guess what mission you were on?"
Xu Songling's heartfelt voice sounded in her mind.
[Two headless female corpses were found in the northern suburbs of the city. Now the Chengbei Police Station and the Municipal Bureau’s Criminal Investigation Detachment have set up a special task force. Because the nature of the case is serious and they are afraid of causing panic among the public, they are required to keep it secret. At present, no one except those involved in the case knows about it. I don’t believe it.
This little girl can guess it.]
"It's a vicious case, isn't it?"
Xu Songling looked Zhao Xiangwan up and down and snorted softly from his nose.
"Kidnapping, robbery, or homicide?"
Hearing the words "homicide", Xu Songling's left eyebrow trembled visibly.
"There was a human life, and strict confidentiality was required. It seems that the impact was very bad...the death was not complete? The body was dismembered? The head was decapitated?" Xu Songling's facial muscles began to become stiff.
"More than one victim? Man, woman? One, two, three?"
After asking this question, Zhao Xiangwan narrowed his eyes slightly, his amber eyes shining brightly under the light: "Officer Xu, two female victims, headless female body, right?"
Xu Songling looked at Zhao Xiangwan in disbelief: "I didn't say anything!"
Zhao Xiangwan's lips curved slightly: "Words can deceive, but expressions and movements cannot. The changes in eyebrows, eyes, mouth, nose, and facial muscles combine to express countless emotions. Because they are too subtle, they are called
Because of the micro-expressions and micro-reactions, others may not be able to see or distinguish them clearly, but... I can."
She began to acquire the ability to read minds at the age of ten. After knowing the truth in advance and then observing the other person's reaction and expression, Zhao Xiangwan gradually developed a unique method of recognizing people. This method can hide her mind-reading ability, making it appear more scientific.
Reasonable.
"Lao Xu, Zhao Xiangwan is my student. I know her abilities, so I asked her to help overnight. We can find the baby so quickly, thanks to Zhao Xiangwan." Zhou Qiaoxiu is now convinced by Zhao Xiangwan.
Taken orally, she can't wait to tell the world about her outstanding abilities.
Seeing that her parents believed Zhao Xiangwan's words, Meimei knew something was wrong. She quickly ran to her father and held his hand. She bit her lip and said pitifully: "Dad, I'm so cold."
Xu Songling let go of her hand and his expression turned cold: "Just go back to the hospital bed and lie down."
She didn't get the response she deserved. Meimei became even more panicked and turned to look at her mother: "Mom, I'm so hungry. I want to eat the egg pancakes you made. I never had such delicious food when I was in the orphanage.
Pancakes.”
This sentence successfully touched Zhou Qiaoxiu's heart.
I think of the first time I met Meimei in the orphanage. She was thin and small, with a pair of surprisingly big eyes. She timidly pulled at the corner of her clothes: "Mom, are you my mother? I'm so hungry."
."
The kind-hearted Zhou Qiaoxiu couldn't bear to see her child suffer. He immediately picked her up and went through the adoption procedures. The first meal he took home and cooked for her was egg pancakes. Unexpectedly, the child still remembers her until now.
Zhou Qiaoxiu's eyes softened obviously, but Xu Songling hardened her heart: "You are older when you are three years old, and you are older when you are seven years old. When you are only eleven years old, your mind is so vicious that your baby gets alcohol poisoning. Xu Zhenmei, our family cannot raise a daughter like you.
Get up! Wait for the two kidnappers to be interrogated by the police station tomorrow morning, and everything will be handled in accordance with the law. Just do what you want."
Meimei's face turned pale and she stood on the ground blankly. She forgot to shed tears and felt that she had been abandoned by the whole world.
Late at night, the cold floor, the little girl standing barefoot, and her tear-stained face made the scene very miserable.
However, Zhao Xiangwan felt no emotion in his heart. A girl who deliberately abandoned her sister in order to monopolize the love of her parents was not worth defending, let alone being forgiven.
A tall figure in front of him blocked the light from the fluorescent tube. In the shadow, Zhao Xiangwan saw the serious Xu Songling walking in front of him, with a solemn and resolute face: "Classmate Zhao Xiangwan, thank you for your help, thank you!"
After saying that, Xu Songling put the five fingers of his right hand together, stretched his palm flat, raised it to his right eyebrow, and then put it down. The police officer raised his hand neatly and standardly, expressing respect and recognition, which made Zhao Xiangwan feel deep pride and pride in his heart.
The mind-reading ability she acquired by accident once made her childhood confused and painful, but now, she can use her ability to help teachers and the police.
Zhao Xiangwan responded with the same standard raised hand salute and puffed up his chest: "It should be."
Her voice was clear and clear, with a hint of girlish tenderness, like a clear stream flowing through a quiet valley, beating against the blue stones of the mountain stream, making a cool sound.
Xu Songling and Zhou Qiaoxiu looked at each other. At this moment, both of them had a feeling: calm, calm, neither arrogant nor arrogant, and extremely capable. The girl in front of them has an unlimited future!
