Zhao Xiangwan said the process clearly and calmly: "Meimei deliberately left the baby at the door of the fried food shop and was taken in by the shopkeeper. But they were afraid that the baby would cry, so they mixed the milk with alcohol to make her sleepy, and the alcohol poisoning was severe, and the doctor was treating it. ”

Zhou Qiaoxiu said angrily: "Zhao Xiangwan, don't tell him, he doesn't care about the baby's life or death at all!" ”

Xu Songling stood in place, not knowing how to reply for a while.

[Mei Mei did it on purpose? How is this possible? She was only ten years old and still a child. Qiaoxiu and I adopted her from the orphanage and have always loved her as if she were our own daughter, how could she? How dare she! 】

Thinking of the trust and doting he had always had for Mei Mei, Xu Songling stared at Zhou Qiaoxiu blankly: "Qiaoxiu, are you mistaken?" It's a good thing that the baby has found it, maybe, maybe it's not Meimei's intention, she's still young...... The charge is too big. ”

When the baby was not found before, although Zhou Qiaoxiu suspected that she had adopted a grateful white-eyed wolf, after all, there was no actual evidence, and there was a trace of expectation in her heart. Now the baby is really found in the fried food shop, all the information is due to the conversation between Zhao Xiangwan and Mei Mei, she has no luck, and she is sure that the baby is deliberately discarded by Mei Mei. His child was treated in the hospital because of alcohol poisoning, but his lover was still defending Meimei, so he couldn't help but be angry, and Huo Di stood up.

"You're still quibbling for her! Do you know how nervous I was when I rushed into a roast shop late at night to look for my kids? Do you know how scared I was when the doctor told me that my baby might have sequelae of alcoholism? You don't know! All you know is to protect that white-eyed wolf! ”

Her voice grew louder and louder, echoing through the quiet corridors of the hospital.

The door to the emergency room suddenly opened, and a doctor in a white coat walked out, frowning and obviously not happy: "This is the hospital, not a place for you to quarrel." ”

Zhou Qiaoxiu hurriedly shut up, ran to the doctor and asked anxiously, "How is it?" How are the kids? ”

The doctor lowered his face and said, "Why did you adults let such a young child get her drunk?" It's so irresponsible! When the child wakes up, remember to feed more water to promote alcohol excretion and metabolism, and observe in the hospital for two more days. ”

Zhou Qiaoxiu hurriedly assured that when the doctor got out of the way, she walked into the emergency room and watched the baby lying on the hospital bed on a drip shed tears.

Xu Songling was worried about her little daughter, and she also came in, standing behind Zhou Qiaoxiu and looking at the child silently.

The baby, who usually loves to cry and make trouble, is now lying quietly on the bed, with an unnatural flush on her round face, and the snow-white sheets make her weak and pitiful. This is his own flesh and blood, although he is a little pampered and delicate, not as well-behaved and sensible as Mei Mei, but he is still the child he loves.

Turning her head to see Zhou Qiaoxiu crying silently, tears quietly sliding down her haggard cheeks, Xu Songling's heart swelled up with complex emotions, including guilt, pity, and more anger towards criminals.

"Did the traffickers do it? Damn it! Did you call the police? I personally inquired into this matter, and I must bring these traffickers to justice and sentence them severely! ”

Zhou Qiaoxiu was disappointed when she heard that her lover was still unwilling to blame Meimei at this time.

[Since he protects that white-eyed wolf like this, then don't blame me for being unkind. Divorce! Let him take Mei Meishan over. The criminal police are busy with work, and I raised the two children single-handedly, so the family couldn't count on him. 】

The baby was found, Zhou Qiaoxiu and his wife were in the hospital, and Zhao Xiangwan saw that he had nothing to do, and originally planned to leave. But hearing that Zhou Qiaoxiu was planning to divorce Xu Songling in her heart, Zhao Xiangwan stopped and raised her eyes, looked at the tall and mighty back standing beside the teacher, and wanted to hear what Officer Xu thought.

[It's my fault, it's all my fault, if it weren't for the temporary notice from the city bureau that there was a task, I should have taken the three of them to the park, and I wouldn't have lost the baby and caused the child to suffer in the hospital. Qiaoxiu scolded right, I should understand her feelings, and I shouldn't argue with her in the hospital......

Damn human traffickers, tomorrow I will report to the city to rectify the abduction and trafficking of women and children, as for Mei Mei, if she really did it intentionally, she must be seriously criticized. She was abandoned by her parents since she was a child, and since we adopted her, we have to be responsible, and it is my fault that I did not educate her well. 】

As a student at the Public Security University, Zhao Xiangwan is well aware of the duties of the police and has a strong sense of empathy for them. Although Xu Songling has a stubborn personality, favoritism towards his adopted daughter, and lack of trust in his wife, he has a strong sense of responsibility, is responsible for his work, and has no prejudice against his adopted daughter.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xiangwan, who had planned to retire successfully, stopped and looked at Mei Mei who was standing barefoot in the corridor.

Chapter 5: Camouflage

◎ Crisp and neat, standard hand salute ◎

Mei Mei wore a single coat and stood barefoot on the blue-gray terrazzo floor of the hallway.

Her big eyes glistened with tears, and her voice was weak and timid: "Sister, you came with my mother, did you see my father?" ”

[Dead woman, stinky bitch! You're not a policeman, so you're so lenient when you run in front of my mom and talk nonsense. I hate you, get out of here. 】

The voice coming out of his mouth was well-behaved and weak, but the voice that came out of his heart was bitter and mean, when these two completely different voices sounded in his ears and in his head, the corners of Zhao Xiangwan's lips went down, and a trace of mockery flashed in his eyes.

- Only eleven years old, so good at disguise.

Zhao Xiangwan's eyes were sharp, and Mei Mei had a feeling that she had nothing to hide from her careful thoughts, which made her nervous.

Mei Mei clenched her fists tightly, dodged Zhao Xiangwan's eyes, and saw Xu Songling's back through the double swing doors in the emergency room, and suddenly seemed to have found the backbone of the heart, and ran quickly.

Bang bang bang, bang......

The sound of stepping barefoot on the terrazzo floor was loud in the hallway, alarming the couple who were accompanying their children in the emergency room.

Xu Songling turned around, Mei Meifei ran to his side, hugged his waist, and her voice was full of grievances: "Dad, where have you been?" Mei Mei is afraid ......"

Xu Songling saw the child stepping on the ground barefoot, and picked her up distressedly. Mei Mei snuggled in her father's arms, as if she wanted to draw energy from him.

Zhou Qiaoxiu stared coldly at this adopted daughter who she loved in the palm of her hand, trying to restrain her emotions. If it weren't for Zhao Xiangwan's help, the baby might have been killed by the couple, or taken to the countryside to suffer. But Mei Mei, the initiator, still had the face to appear in front of her, snatching Xu Songling's attention and love in a grand manner.

A faint call of "Mommy ......" broke the heavy atmosphere of the ward.

Zhou Qiaoxiu put all her love and hate behind her and threw herself to the baby's side: "Baby, are you awake?" Is it uncomfortable or not? Does it hurt to have a headache? Come, drink some water. ”

As soon as he saw his mother's face, the baby cried sobbing and cried, and raised his arm to wrap his arms around his mother's neck: "Mom, the baby is obedient, the baby doesn't run around, don't sell me." ”

The first time she heard the wayward baby say such a thing, holding the child's soft body tightly in her arms, Zhou Qiaoxiu felt like there were 10,000 ants biting in her heart, the fine and dense pain made her breathless, her throat was like a ball of cotton, and she couldn't say a word.

Mei Mei raised her head from her father's arms and looked down at the baby, her eyes full of surprise: "Baby, you're back!" It's just wonderful. ”

The baby is not responding.

Because she was too frightened and hugged her mother and didn't let go, she refused to even call Xu Songling, let alone leave her sister. She didn't accuse her sister, she just hugged her mother and begged her not to leave her.

Zhou Qiaoxiu coaxed the child softly, while keeping in mind the doctor's instructions to feed her water, and waited until the child finally fell asleep peacefully, then she turned to face Meimei.

This account must be settled now! Zhou Qiaoxiu couldn't wait for the night. Even if it's two o'clock now, 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, feeling worried because he was ignored by Zhou Qiaoxiu and the baby, and when he heard Zhou Qiaoxiu's instructions, he immediately walked to the corridor behind his wife.

Before going out, Zhou Qiaoxiu glanced at Zhao Xiangwan, and her eyes were full of apologies: "Xiangwan, I'm sorry to delay you for so long, wait until I take care of the family affairs and then send you back to school." ”

Zhao Xiangwan has always been steady, and nodded: "Okay." ”

Zhou Qiaoxiu stood in the corridor and took a deep breath: "Meimei, do you know where I found the baby?" I also have to thank you and Zhao Xiangwan for the information mentioned, the back door of the park, fried melon seeds. The back door of the park is bustling and easy to find, so you take your baby through an old neighborhood and drop her off into a small alley. There are a total of three fried food shops there, and Lao Wu fried food shop is the closest to the street. I heard from the neighbors that the couple had always wanted a daughter, and you deliberately left the baby there, so you calculated that they would hide her, right?

With such a careful mind, I really underestimated you. Obviously you deliberately took the baby to the back door of the park and threw it away, but you told us and the police that it was in the playground that the baby let go of your hand, and you don't remember anything where it went, your heart ...... It's so ruthless! ”

Zhou Qiaoxiu's voice was very calm at the moment, but under that calm, a huge storm was brewing. After more than ten years of marriage, Xu Songling saw his tolerant and generous wife 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!

Mei Mei looked at her mother in a daze, her eyes flashed with tears, and she choked up and said, "Mom, I really don't know, what the back door, the fried food shop, those are what that sister said." I'm scared if the baby gets lost, you believe me. ”

Mei Mei struggled to get down from her father's arms, stood barefoot on the ground, rushed to Zhao Xiangwan, and said with a crying voice on her little face.

"Sister, why are you hurting me? I can't understand the questions you asked me, why do you say that I deliberately got rid of my sister? I am really grateful for the day my parents adopted me from the orphanage, and thank God for sending such good parents after I was abandoned by my biological parents. I know gratitude, really, I study hard and take my sister with my heart, I will repay my parents well, how can I do such a thing as deliberately losing my sister? The baby is my mother's life, how can I be so bad! ”

However, Zhao Xiangwan heard her heart screaming wildly.

[You bad woman! If you hadn't been talkative, the baby crybaby would have left this house a long time ago. Mom will accept the reality after being sad for a while, she and Dad will only love me and always love only me! 】

Greeted Meimei's teary eyes, Zhao Xiangwan said unhurriedly: "If my sister is gone, there will be only one child in this family, and your parents will always only love you, right?" ”

Mei Mei felt that the slender and tall strange sister in front of her was too terrifying, as if she could see through her dark heart, every word she said made her feel difficult to breathe, her heart beat faster, and an unprecedented sense of crisis came to her heart, her eyes widened: "You talk nonsense!" ”

Zhao Xiangwan did not continue to entangle with Mei Mei, and looked up at Xu Songling: "Officer Xu, expression is the first nervous response of a person when encountering an effective stimulus, which precedes rational thinking, and is more real than words." I can tell if people are lying by the changes in their expressions, and I can find out the truth by setting up questions. The questions I asked Mei Mei earlier were all intentional, as evidenced by the fact that I was able to quickly find the baby in the roast shop. So...... Please trust Teacher Zhou's judgment, Meimei is by no means an innocent child. ”

As a criminal policeman who often deals with criminals, Xu Songling naturally has a set of experience in distinguishing lies, and the first time he heard that he can accurately explore the truth through facial expressions and conscious questions, he feels that it is simply a fantasy. If such a person exists, then the difficult criminals who have encountered it before will directly let Zhao Xiangwan ask if the truth will be revealed, where do you need police interrogation?

Too mysterious, Xu Songling subconsciously retorted: "Impossible." ”

Zhao Xiangwan took a step forward and got closer to Xu Songling: "Officer Xu, you couldn't take the children to the park today because of a temporary mission, why don't we guess what mission you are performing?" ”

Xu Songling's heart sounded in her head.

[Two headless female corpses were found in the suburbs of the north of the city, and now the Chengbei Police Station and the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Municipal Bureau have set up a special team, because the nature of the case is serious for fear of causing panic among the people, and it is required to keep it strictly secret. 】

"It's a vicious case, isn't it?"

Xu Songling glanced at Zhao Xiangwan up and down, and let out a soft snort from his nose.

"Kidnapping, robbery, or homicide?"

Hearing the three words of the homicide, Xu Songling's left eyebrow trembled obviously.

"It seems that the impact is very bad...... Dead without a body? Dismemberment? Beheading? Xu Songling's facial muscles began to stiffen.

"More than one victim? Men, women? One, two, three? ”

After asking this sentence, Zhao Xiangwan's eyes narrowed slightly, and her amber light eyes shone in the light: "Officer Xu, two female victims and a headless female corpse, right?" ”

Xu Songling looked at Zhao Xiangwan in disbelief: "I didn't say anything!" ”

Zhao Xiangwan's lips curled slightly: "Words can deceive people, but expressions and movements cannot." Eyebrows, eyes, mouth, nose, facial muscles, their variations combine to create a myriad of emotional expressions. Because it is too subtle, it is called micro-expressions and micro-reactions, and others may not be able to see or distinguish clearly, but ...... I can. ”

At the age of ten, he began to acquire the art of mind reading, and after knowing the truth in advance, he came to observe the other party's reactions and expressions, and Zhao Xiangwan gradually explored a unique set of skills for recognizing people. This method can hide her mind-reading skills and appear more scientific and reasonable.

"Lao Xu, Zhao Xiangwan is my student, and I know her ability, so I asked her to help overnight. We were able to find the baby so quickly, thanks to Zhao Xiangwan. Zhou Qiaoxiu is now convinced by Zhao Xiangwan, and she can't wait to announce her outstanding ability to the world.

Seeing that her parents believed Zhao Xiangwan's words, Mei Mei knew that something was wrong, so she hurriedly ran to her father's side and took his hand, biting her lip and saying pitifully: "Dad, I'm so cold." ”

Xu Songling let go of her hand, and her face turned cold: "If it's cold, go back to the hospital bed and lie down." ”

Selling miserably didn't get the response she deserved, Mei Mei panicked even more, and turned her head to look at her mother: "Mom, I'm so hungry and want to eat the egg pancakes you made, I never ate such delicious pancakes when I was in the orphanage." ”

This sentence successfully hit Zhou Qiaoxiu's heart.

Thinking of the first time I saw Mei Mei in the orphanage, she was thin and small, with a pair of surprisingly large eyes, and timidly pulled the corners of her clothes: "Mom, are you my mother?" I'm so hungry. ”

The kind-hearted Zhou Qiaoxiu couldn't see the child suffering, so she immediately picked her up and went through the adoption procedures, and the first meal she took home and cooked for her was egg pancakes. Unexpectedly, this kid has been remembered until now.

Zhou Qiaoxiu's eyes softened obviously, but Xu Songling hardened his heart: "Three-year-old looks big, seven-year-old looks old, only eleven-year-old has such a vicious mind, causing the baby to have alcohol poisoning." Xu Zhenmei, a daughter like you, our family can't afford to raise it! Wait for the police station tomorrow morning to interrogate the two abductors, and everything will be dealt with according to law. ”

Mei Mei's face turned pale and she stood on the ground in a daze, her tears forgetting to flow, and she felt that she was abandoned by the whole world.

Late at night, the cold floor, the little girl standing barefoot, the face full of tears, the picture is very miserable.

Zhao Xiangwan did not have a trace of turmoil in his heart. A girl who deliberately abandons her sister in order to monopolize the love of her parents is not worth defending, let alone being forgiven.

A tall figure in front of him covered the light emitted by the fluorescent tube, and in the shadows, Zhao Xiangwan saw the serious Xu Songling walking in front of him, his face solemn and resolute: "Zhao Xiangwan, thank you for your help, thank you!" ”

After that, Xu Songling's right hand put the five fingers together, stretched out the palm, raised to the right eyebrow, and then put it down. The police simply and neatly raised their hands to express respect and recognition, which made Zhao Xiangwan's heart swell with pride and pride.

The mind-reading skills she acquired by accident had made her childhood confusing and painful, but now, she was able to use her abilities to help teachers and the police.

Zhao Xiangwan raised his hand with the same standard salute and puffed up his chest: "It should be." ”

Her voice was clear, with a hint of girlish immaturity, like a clear stream flowing through a secluded valley, beating the bluestone of the mountain stream, and making a loud noise.

Xu Songling and Zhou Qiaoxiu glanced at each other, and at this moment both of them had a feeling: calm, calm, not arrogant, not boring, and extremely capable, the future of this girl in front of them is limitless!
