I’m the Moonlight White That the Former Movie Queen Secretly Loved 56p1

Chapter 56 p1

Qi Sijia had originally planned to take Meng Jiang to the airport, but this trip was ultimately interrupted by a sudden piece of news.

When the black assistant pushed open the door, he frowned and said to Qi Sijia in an urgent tone, “Teacher Qi, please come out for a moment.”

His almost worried tone made Meng Jiang raise an eyebrow and look over.

Qi Sijia’s face was still calm. She stood up from the sofa and walked to the black assistant’s side.

“What’s wrong?”

The black assistant did not immediately speak and looked at Meng Jiang in the office.

“It’s fine, you can say it,” Qi Sijia said. “She’s one of us.”

“Federal Inspector Mylan from the New York City Police Department is waiting for you outside.”

Qi Sijia raised an eyebrow in surprise, but her face showed no expression.

“I see.”

With that, she stood at the door and turned back to Meng Jiang. “Can I have the assistant take you to the airport?”

A federal inspector was equivalent to a police officer in China. Under normal circumstances, when the police came knocking, it was either for economic crimes or for murder.

A strong sense of unease arose in Meng Jiang’s heart. She narrowed her eyes, stood up, and walked to Qi Sijia’s side. “I’ll go with you and see.”

“It’s nothing serious,” Qi Sijia said calmly. She was sure she hadn’t broken any laws. The studio was operating normally. She carefully recalled the contracts she had recently signed, and the procedures were all in order.

She hadn’t done anything wrong in the past, so Qi Sijia’s expression was very frank.

Not wanting Meng Jiang to go back to the country with a heavy heart, Qi Sijia explained a few words.

Meng Jiang didn’t say anything, just held her hand and rubbed the back of it, gesturing with her eyes that she wanted to go and see the situation together.

Qi Sijia laughed. “Then you remember, don’t be later than eleven.”

The two of them walked into the reception room.

Two burly white police officers were standing by the sofa.

“This is Chief Mylan, and next to him is his assistant. They’re here to ask you some questions,” the black assistant closed the door to the reception room and introduced them to Qi Sijia in a low voice. Then the few of them walked up to the two chiefs.

He then introduced Qi Sijia and Meng Jiang to them.

“A private conversation, this one?” The chief in plain clothes on the right was Mylan. His eagle-like sharp gaze landed on Meng Jiang, and he looked at her for a few seconds. He seemed to recognize the famous actress Meng’s appearance and was stunned for a moment.

“You are Wasteland…”

“Hello, I’m Meng Jiang,” Meng Jiang extended her hand and shook his politely.

“You called my agent this morning,” Meng Jiang took the initiative to bring up the topic and asked directly, “May I ask, is your visit to Qi Sijia also for Mei Yuan’s case?”

The chief laughed and said, “It is this case, but we’re looking for Miss Qi to ask about another matter related to the case.”

“She needs to come back with us to give a statement.”

This answer made the unease in Meng Jiang’s heart grow heavier. Because the police station had called her this morning and had only asked, “Do you know Mei Yuan? Have you ever spoken to her?”

The same question had been asked to almost everyone who had attended the banquet last night. It shouldn’t have been necessary to go to the police station to give a statement.

“What happened?” Qi Sijia had been standing there without speaking. After the officer finished greeting Meng Jiang, she finally turned her gaze to the two chiefs.

Mylan’s assistant handed him a recording pen. Mylan turned to Qi Sijia. “Do you know Mei Yuan?”

“Who is Mei Yuan?” He had asked too suddenly, and Qi Sijia couldn’t remember the name for a moment.

The black assistant reminded her in a low voice from the side, “She came to the studio to look for you yesterday. The female director of the Palm d’Or award-winning film The Judge.”

Qi Sijia remembered and replied, “I’ve seen her twice. The first time was at three in the afternoon, when she invited me to participate in writing the follow-up script for The Judge. The second time was at the Wasteland dinner party, when she came over to toast me.”

Mylan nodded and stared at Qi Sijia’s eyes. “She’s dead. Murder.”

As these words landed, Qi Sijia looked back at Meng Jiang. Meng Jiang had already heard about this in the morning, but her and Qi Sijia’s relationship with Mei Yuan was not deep. And the two of them had had an unpleasant encounter last night, so they hadn’t mentioned this when they met.

After confirming the fact of Mei Yuan’s death from Meng Jiang, Qi Sijia looked at the police again.

“I’m sorry for your loss,” Qi Sijia took the initiative to bring up the topic. “You’re asking me to go back to the police station to give a statement because you suspect this matter is related to me?”

Mylan laughed and shook his head. “Of course, it has nothing to do with you.”

This answer was not surprising. Qi Sijia had asked deliberately, wanting to use the inspector’s words to put Meng Jiang at ease. Even if she didn’t know what the police were taking her back to ask, at least it would let Meng Jiang go to the airport with peace of mind and not waste her time here.

But Mylan’s tone paused, and he said unexpectedly, “But we suspect that you will be the next victim.”

Qi Sijia’s expression was still normal. She looked sideways at Meng Jiang, and Meng Jiang was frowning tightly.

Before Qi Sijia could speak, Meng Jiang turned to Mylan and asked, “I shouldn’t be asking you this, but Qi Sijia’s relationship with me is unusual. As a family member, I want to know what you mean by that.”

“Family member?”

Meng Jiang bluntly showed their intertwined hands to Mylan.

After a brief surprise, Mylan indicated that he understood.

“Alright then,” Mylan said. “At the scene of Mei Yuan’s death last night, we found the murder weapon left by the suspect. The DNA shows that the suspect is suspected to be the screenwriter of Mei Yuan’s new drama The Judge, Jiang Tengtiao. After the incident, we investigated his whereabouts last night and found that from ten to twelve, Jiang Tengtiao was waiting near Miss Qi’s house. But you came home at one in the morning and were not at home. Following this clue, we later investigated and found that for half a month, Miss Qi had received dozens of anonymous packages. After tracking those packages, we found that they were purchased and sent by Jiang Tengtiao.”

Mylan observed Qi Sijia’s expression and said, “So there are some questions we’d like you to help us investigate.”

Qi Sijia’s face was still calm. “Okay.”

The only one who reacted strongly was Meng Jiang. This had happened too suddenly. Throughout the whole process, Meng Jiang’s face was tense.

Qi Sijia comforted Meng Jiang, “It’s fine,” and told her to go back to the country with peace of mind.

Meng Jiang didn’t say anything. During this time, Chen Cheng called, and she directly hung up.

Qi Sijia saw it and didn’t say anything, just squeezed her hand and said, “If you’re not at ease, you can go with me, but don’t forget, there are only two hours until the flight. Remember the time.”

Meng Jiang didn’t answer this. She suddenly looked up, moved closer to Qi Sijia, and asked in a low voice, “The man you met in the studio corridor yesterday afternoon, was that Jiang Tengtiao?”

Qi Sijia said yes.

“No wonder, the way he stared at you was not right,” Meng Jiang remembered the sinister smile on the man’s face when he licked his lips when their eyes met yesterday.

“You said yesterday that he has schizophrenia and told me to stay away from him.”

Qi Sijia glanced at her and replied, “I did.”

Meng Jiang’s brows were clearly even more furrowed than before. “Why is he pestering you? You guys before…”

Qi Sijia answered every question. Sensing Meng Jiang’s worried expression, she put on a serious face and explained, “No, we’ve only met twice in total. The packages he sent were all in the delivery box. Because they weren’t mine, I never opened them. He might be interested in me.”

After carefully recalling, the first time they met, she had met the second personality that this Japanese man had disguised, and Mike had said at the time that he was substituting for the bullying target.

Qi Sijia thought for a moment and then said, “Or he wants to turn me into a similar person.”

Meng Jiang felt very uncomfortable. “He’s sick.”

“Mmm,” Qi Sijia smiled and said, “A psychopath.”

With that, she met Meng Jiang’s eyes. Meng Jiang was amused. Qi Sijia also followed up with a comforting curve of her lips, raised her hand, and tucked the stray hair from Meng Jiang’s cheek behind her ear. “Don’t think too much. You don’t have to worry about me. With the police following, he wouldn’t dare.”

Mike had said that Jiang Tengtiao’s main personality was antisocial, but he was meticulous and also a psychological patient with a strong desire for control. And he knew how to switch to his sub-personality to disguise himself and ensure his own safety.

According to the police, if Jiang Tengtiao was confirmed to have killed Mei Yuan, after the incident, when the police suspected and issued a warrant, his cautious personality would definitely not risk appearing in the police’s sight a second time.

Qi Sijia told Meng Jiang all these analyses, but Meng Jiang did not listen.

But in any case, encountering this kind of thing greatly affected one’s mood.

Qi Sijia expressed her understanding. If it were her, she would also feel the same as Meng Jiang.

So from beginning to end, on this journey, Qi Sijia had been analyzing for Meng Jiang what kind of personality a schizophrenic patient Jiang Tengtiao was.

But the effect was not great.

After arriving at the police station, Meng Jiang followed Qi Sijia step by step. It wasn’t until Qi Sijia went into the interrogation room to give a statement that Meng Jiang silently took a step back.

There were only two police officers in the interrogation room, one responsible for recording and one for questioning.

Qi Sijia didn’t really know Jiang Teng, and they had only had two interactions. So throughout the whole interrogation, the information she gave was mostly about their meeting in the consultation room.

Mylan asked, “We’ve investigated. You and Jiang Tengtiao met in Mike’s psychological consultation room. What’s interesting is that you are his psychologist’s patient.”

Qi Sijia said bluntly, “Yes.”

“May I ask, do you and Jiang Teng have the same illness? Are you also a schizophrenic with dual personality disorder?”

Qi Sijia had nothing to hide and said calmly, “You can’t say that, Mr. Police Officer. I don’t have a second personality. You should have investigated my information. Even Mike can’t define my situation as dual personality.”

“Then what do you think Jiang Tengtiao sent you those for…”

“I’m sorry, officer. What did he send me?”

Mylan was surprised. “You don’t know?”

Qi Sijia raised an eyebrow. “Why do I need to know about some insignificant things sent by a stranger?”

“You’re not curious at all?”

“I have no curiosity about this world,” Qi Sijia said in a flat tone.

At this point, Mylan finally felt a bit of Qi Sijia’s overly cold mental state.

He said, “Because in your psychological file, we investigated that your psychological diagnosis four months ago was severe social anxiety. But after you came to New York, Mike changed your diagnosis to suspected schizophrenia. Why such a big personality change?”

The police were referring to Qi Sijia’s social anxiety in a crowd before, where she couldn’t even talk. Why was it that after only a few months of treatment, all her social anxiety symptoms seemed to have disappeared?

This had to do with the medication, and of course, it also had to do with Qi Sijia’s mental state.

There was one thing the police were right about. The reason why Jiang Tengtiao had sought her out was because he had seen a similarity in her.

Jiang Teng could switch to a second personality to disguise himself, and Qi Sijia could also switch to a personality suitable for the environment according to the changes in the environment. In a sense, they were both people with a strong desire for control, and their externally displayed personalities were unstable.

Qi Sijia looked at him directly. “You want to analyze some clues about Jiang Teng’s criminal psychology from my psychological problems, right?”

Mylan was stunned by the question. He reined in some of the sharpness in his eagle-like eyes and asked, “Is it convenient to say?”

“I’m different from him,” Qi Sijia answered very calmly. “Five years ago, when I found that I couldn’t handle a relationship, my personality quickly switched to social anxiety, to the point where I couldn’t communicate with people without a mask. But later, my cat died, my house was demolished, and my first love came back. The stable environment under the original definition changed. I took a step out on my own. The psychologist said that my subconscious personality change is based on the changes in my living environment and social relationships. The person outside just now, you’ve seen her, is my partner. She is the only intimate and stable social relationship I’ve had during this period of my illness. Unless this relationship can’t be maintained, to a certain extent, my personality is stable.”

Qi Sijia raised her hand and pointed at the frosted door. The shadow of Meng Jiang was reflected on the door. From the moment she entered the interrogation room, Meng Jiang had been standing there, almost without moving.

Mylan chatted briefly with Qi Sijia for a few more sentences.

Finally, he said, “In the packages Jiang Teng sent you, there were many broken animal carcasses, preserved with dry ice. In addition, the temperature has been low recently, so those things were in the delivery cabinet and were not discovered by anyone. When we opened them, they had already rotted.”

As he said this, Mylan kept looking at Qi Sijia.

Qi Sijia had no expression at all.

Mylan continued, “No matter what his purpose is, we all suspect that his next target is you. Before we catch Jiang Tengtiao, we will arrange for the police to protect Qi Sijia’s safety. If you encounter a dangerous situation, we hope you will call the police immediately.”

Qi Sijia agreed to cooperate.

When she came out, Meng Jiang finally changed her standing posture.

She stood by Qi Sijia’s side, looked her up and down, and lowered her eyes.

“What did the police say?”

“They will send people to protect me twenty-four hours a day.”

Qi Sijia actually didn’t think that Jiang Teng would appear in front of her now. M country had mobilized a large part of its police force. It was not out of the question that Meng Jiang and Right were involved. Under this kind of waiting for a rabbit to fall into a trap mode, unless he was stupid, Jiang Teng would not walk into a trap.

Qi Sijia explained a few words to Meng Jiang and turned her head to see her red ears from the cold wind.

She frowned slightly. “How long have you been standing here?”

“Not long,” Meng Jiang said.

“Liar,” Qi Sijia exposed her, their eyes meeting.

Meng Jiang was defeated and took the initiative to look away. “I was just a little worried.”

Qi Sijia could see it. She sighed and said helplessly, “Don’t do this next time. You can sit on the side or ask the officer for a swivel chair. In short, don’t stand.”

Meng Jiang was silent for a moment and said, “You still want a next time?”

“Alright, no next time,” Qi Sijia replied bluntly. This matter was temporarily over.
