Chapter 168: Study
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Yin Tao followed behind Feng Jing and Meng Heng. Meng Heng didn’t seem nervous at all. He seemed to enjoy chatting with Feng Jing. Meng Heng didn ‘t seem to mind at all when the police officers were carrying out the search. He would only occasionally take a look to see if his things were messed up.
It was because of Meng Heng’s overly calm reaction that Yin Tao felt that he was very strange. When a normal person suddenly receives a police search warrant, even if he cooperated with the police, he would definitely be a little nervous. Even if he was innocent, it was impossible for him to be so calm like Meng Heng.
Meng Heng’s calmness reflected that he was not surprised by the police’s visit. Yin Tao felt that he was indeed very suspicious. However, the fact that he could stand calmly beside Feng Jing also proved that it was unlikely anyone could find any concrete evidence in his home.
“Officer Feng, may I ask what case you think I’m related to?” Meng Heng had a smile on his face. He seemed very friendly, just like when they met him at the aesthetics hospital. ‘You can tell me, for all you know, I may be able to provide the police with some clues?”
“A murder case, do you have any clues?’ Feng Jing’s tone was very cold. He stared at Meng Heng as if he wanted to read his mind.
“Then I’m afraid I can’t help you.” Meng Heng raised his eyebrows aggrievedly and explained to Feng Jing, “I’m just an ordinary citizen. How can I have anything to do with a murder?”
Yin Tao had been observing Meng Heng’s micro expressions, but he seemed to be able to control his emotions very well. She didn’t know if it was related to his profession as a doctor, but Yin Tao felt that Meng Heng seemed to have studied psychology and was very good at it.
“Then please cooperate with the search, Mr. Meng.” Feng Jing turned as if he was making his way up the stairs, but he noticed that Meng Heng went ahead of him.
“I’ll take you to search every room in case you miss anything.” Meng Heng’s explanation seemed logical, but Yin Tao felt resistance on his face, for the first time.
Intuition told Yin Tao that Meng Heng’s problem must be hidden upstairs. Feng Jing seemed to have noticed the change in Meng Heng’s emotions and his expression became much more solemn.
Under Meng Heng’s lead, Feng Jing and the other police officers started searching the first room. Yin Tao followed behind them.
Meng Heng’s house was very tidy. Just as he had said, it could be seen that he had a serious obsession with cleanliness.
All the rooms were organized in an orderly manner. From the color scheme of the decorations to the placement of the items, they seemed to be following a pattern.
Yin Tao felt that there should be someone taking care of such a huge villa. Meng Heng’s daily work wasn’t easy, so it was impossible for him to have the time to do the tidying work.
There were many rooms upstairs, everyone searched them one by one. After searching the bedroom, changing room, storage room, and the different guest rooms, although they didn’t mess up Meng Heng’s personal belongings too much, they still messed up the order of some small items.
Yin Tao could tell that Meng Heng was unhappy, but he was still hiding his emotions. After his bedroom closet was also messed up by the police officers, Meng Heng finally couldn’t take it anymore. He took out his cell phone from his pocket and dialed a number.
Although everyone seemed to be still searching, they had already shifted their attention to Meng Heng.
“Hello, Auntie Wu. I’ll have to trouble you to come over and clean up later.”
Meng Heng didn’t speak loudly, but everyone present could hear him clearly. He was on the phone with the housekeeping auntie, as if he was indirectly expressing his dissatisfaction with the police messing around in his room.
Meng Heng’s call also confirmed Yin Tao’s guess. His room was indeed cleaned and tidied by a housekeeper.
“I’m sorry, the study is a little messy.” The last room in the corridor on the top floor was the study. Meng Heng hung up the phone, opened the door, and explained apologetically.
Yin Tao looked at Meng Heng’s study. Although he claimed that it was a little messy, Yin Tao felt that this is how a normal study should look like.
It was not as messy as she had imagined, but the table and the floor looked a little dusty. It was obvious that it was not cleaned every day. There were a few medical books on the big desk, as if Meng Heng had just been reading them.
Yin Tao was a little surprised by Meng Heng’s study. A clean freak shouldn’t have dust in the study, and this study seemed to be frequently used.
Yin Tao looked at Meng Heng’s attitude when he casually called the housekeeping auntie over just now and felt that there was no reason for Meng Heng to let dust accumulate in the study unless the housekeeping auntie was not usually allowed to enter this room freely..
