Chapter 167: Search
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After Zhou Ping left the interview room, Yin Tao asked Feng Jing, “Should we search Meng Heng’s aesthetics hospital? I think Zhang Rui’s matter must be related to him.’
“Let’s confirm Meng Heng’s exact whereabouts on the day Zhang Rui disappeared.” Feng Jing waved at Ji Yu and said, ‘Who’s watching Meng Heng today?”
“Captain Feng, it’sXiaochen and Xiaoxia from division two.” Ji Yu also realized the seriousness of the matter. It made sense now for Captain Feng to ask for Meng Heng to be tailed.
“Contact them immediately and confirm Meng Heng’s location. Then organize
Meng Heng’s location and activity trajectory for the entire day yesterday and send it to me.”
After Feng Jing gave Ji Yu the instructions, he looked at Yin Tao and asked,
“Xiaotao, do you want to go with us for the search later?’
“Brother Feng, bring me along.” Yin Tao was really worried about Zhang Rui.
She didn’t want to be left alone at the police station waiting for updates.
Feng Jing had no intention of rejecting Yin Tao. He could tell that she was very concerned about Zhang Rui, so he brought her out of the interview room.
“Boss, Xiaoxia said that Meng Heng didn’t go out for the entire day. It seems like he has been staying at home.” Ji Yu had just confirmed Meng Heng’s situation with Xia Jin and the others before hurriedly reporting to Feng Jing.
Feng Jing was silent for a moment before ordering Ji Yu, ‘Gather the police officers and search Meng Heng’s house now.”
Yin Tao understood what Feng Jing meant. He would rather make a wasted trip than have a fourth victim appear.
Sitting in Feng Jing’s car, Yin Tao felt a little uneasy. This was the first time she had gone out with the police. She was much more nervous than when she went to the crime scene.
“Xiaotao, try to stay away from Meng Heng later. If he’s really the murderer, then he must be a dangerous character.” Feng Jing saw Yin Tao’s nervousness and somewhat regretted bringing her along.
“Put on your mask. You’ve seen Meng Heng once in the aesthetics hospital. Try not to interact with him again.” Feng Jing handed an unopened disposable mask to Yin Tao. He wasn’t worried that Meng Heng would recognize him, but it was different for Yin Tao.
The victims of this vicious case were all beautiful young girls. Feng Jing was worried that Yin Tao would attract Meng Heng’s attention.
Yin Tao obediently put on her mask and the car quickly arrived near Meng Heng’s villa.
Feng Jing had exchanged information with the police officers who had been watching Meng Heng’s house. After confirming that Meng Heng had been at home, he planned to search the house.
Yin Tao silently followed behind Feng Jing with several young police officers beside her. Everyone seemed to be surrounding Yin Tao to protect her, in case she got frightened or hurt.
Feng Jing gestured for everyone to stand in the blind spot of the peephole. One of them pressed the doorbell.
After about three minutes, Meng Heng, who was wearing loose pajamas, slowly opened the door of the villa.
“Hello, who are you looking for?’ Meng Heng’s expression was very calm, and his tone was very polite, as if he was not nervous at all.
“Hello, Mr. Meng,” Feng Jing said to Meng Heng as he showed him his identification. “We’re police officers from the Cheng Ping branch. Considering that you might be related to a case, this is a search warrant. I hope you can cooperate with the police.”
When Meng Heng heard that the person standing in front of him was a police officer, he looked at Feng Jing carefully. When he saw the other police officers not far behind Feng Jing, he asked in surprise, “Is it related to a case? Me?”
‘Yes, Mr. Meng. I hope you can cooperate with us.” Feng Jing’s tone was very serious, but he was still patiently asking for Meng Heng’s permission.
“Alright, the search is fine.” Meng Heng smiled awkwardly. He had a gentlemanly temperament and seemed to have a good personality. “However, can I trouble you to wear shoe covers? I’m a little OCD and am obsessed with cleanliness. I hope you can accommodate me.”
Feng Jing skillfully took out disposable shoe covers from his pocket. Police officers always have these things on hand. Not only would they be used during a search, but they would also be used when they went to crime scenes.
Seeing that the police officers had all skillfully put on their shoe covers, Meng Heng casually opened the door so that everyone could enter.
“How should I address you, police officer?’ Meng Heng looked at Feng Jing standing beside him, as if he had seen him somewhere before.
“My surname is Feng.”
“So it’s Officer Feng.” Meng Heng gently propped up the thin-framed glasses on the bridge of his nose and said in a relaxed tone, “This surname is not common, it’s quite nice..”
