Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife

Chapter 605 Do You Want Me to Look Into It?

Mu Qiqi walked up to Sheng Xiao and sat down quietly on his lap.

“What’s the matter?” Sheng Xiao hugged her without stopping his work.

“I followed the criminal investigation team to the field today and bumped into an old acquaintance of the Mu family.”

At the mention of the Mu family, Sheng Xiao knew it must be related to Mu Tangxue, as she was uninterested in anything else.

“He is called Ye Jingcheng. He used to like Mu Tangxue very much. He went abroad four years ago and has come back just recently. He should already know about the situation of the Mu family now, but he still asked me about Mu Tangxue. I think he did it on purpose.”

Sheng Xiao put his pe down and looked at Mu Qiqi. “So, what’s your concern?”

“He used to bully me, with Mu Tangxue,” said Mu Qiqi frankly.

“How?” Sheng Xiao looked at her with sharp and deep eyes.

“He’d… helped Mu Tangxue to frame me,” replied Mu Qiqi. “It’s not that I still hate him. I just feel that he did not do it with a kind intention.”

Sheng Xiao gently stroked Mu Qiqi’s head to silently comfort her. “Don’t be scared.”

“Well, he’s almost twenty-five now. He won’t be the same he was as a kid.”

Mu Qiqi said that casually because she had a big backer now.

However, her childhood trauma was not something to be easily forgotten.

To comfort the little one in his arms, Sheng Xiao stopped his work and embraced her properly. He said softly, “Tell me about your childhood, apart from what I already know.”

“I’ve been so happy these two years. How can I still remember it all?”

“Then, do you want me to look into it?” Sheng Xiao asked.

Mu Qiqi looked at her man and sighed. She slowly leaned on Sheng Xiao and said, “I don’t remember how old I was when it happened. In the winter that year, when we were celebrating the New Year, Mu Tangxue played with one of Grandpa Mu’s watches and broke it. She was too nervous, so she cried. Ye Jingcheng was in Mu Mansion as a guest, so he helped Mu Tangxue and put the watch into my bag. Grandpa couldn’t find the watch so he asked Mommy about it. And Ye Jingcheng told Mommy that he saw me play with it.”

“And then?”

“I was slapped twice and grounded in the room, spending the New Year alone,” said Mu Qiqi.

“What else?” Sheng Xiao’s hands tightened around Mu Qiqi.

“And then… it was in the swimming pool. Mu Tangxue asked Ye Jingcheng to teach her to swim. She got me to demonstrate for him and they pinned me in the water.”

“Anything else?”

“And during Grandpa Mu’s birthday, they locked me in the school. In the end, I went home late and was scolded for playing with classmates outside. And I was punished to kneel in the living room the whole night.”

“That’s enough.” Sheng Xiao had had enough hearing all these.

So, that scumbag still dared to pick on Xiao Qi’er? Maybe he just didn’t want to see the sun tomorrow.

“Your fear of him now came from your childhood trauma. But, silly girl, it’s all in the past, and you are not the old you. Are you afraid of being bullied now? Is my woman someone to be bullied by other people?”

It was just that her memory of the past resurfaced when she saw him. Mu Qiqi knew she did not have to be afraid anymore. And Mu Tangxue deserved what she got now.

“I know. I’m not scared. There’s Captain Tang is in the team and you outside the police force.”

“Go and rest in the lounge for a while. When I get off work, we’ll go home together.” Sheng Xiao pinched her round bottom and urged her.

Mu Qiqi nodded, got up from Sheng Xiao’s lap, and walked into the private lounge. What about Sheng Xiao? He dialed an extension number right away. “Come in, Xu Che.”

“Yes, Chief.”

“Look into the Ye family. I want to know every detail. If possible, I want to know even the precise time of him looking for a woman for the first time.”

“If you want it to be in this level of detail, I might need a few days,” said Xu Che.

“I can wait!” When Sheng Xiao uttered these few words, his tone was clearly dangerous. Since that man took the initiative to come and challenge him, he would gladly welcome him. Was he planning to get revenge for Mu Tangxue? He had to check if he had the qualifications to do so first.

“And one more thing, go and find out where Mu Tangxue is now. Make sure she is in our control.”

“Understood.”

Before Mu Qiqi met him, it was not hard to imagine her life during that seventeen years. He did not get revenge for her because Xiao Qi’er had undergone a major change in the past two years.

But now, the man took the initiative to come to him.

He’s asking for his death!

…

In the afternoon, at the police station.

According to the result from the forensics laboratory, the case of the Ye family was not a simple suicide. He had been pushed by someone from the rooftop. Since it was a homicide, the case was naturally taken over by the criminal investigation team.

The Ye family were very cooperative. It happened in their territory after all, so they hoped the police could solve the case as soon as possible.

“Since he is Qiqi’s old acquaintance, it should be easy for us to go to the Ye family,” said the professor.

However, Feng Shanshan shook her head. “We better not depend on Xiao Qi. I’m sure she has a bad relationship with the Ye family.”

“If that’s the case, of course we can’t force her,” said the professor.

Right then, Tang Yan entered the laboratory. His wound was still not fully recovered. “I’m here to get the autopsy report!”

“He died from the fall. But he was tied up before his death. There are various degrees of ligature marks on his neck and wrists. The time of his death falls between five to seven in the morning. He’s twenty-one, what a youthful age. And he’s a fresh graduate. As for whether he was under the influence of any drug, we have to conduct further tests before we can confirm with you. Have you informed his family?”

“They’re on their way,” said Tang Yan.

“Then you can start investigating from the people close to him.”

Tang Yan nodded. When he was getting ready to leave, his eyes met with Feng Shanshan’s, but she dodged his gaze deliberately and looked in another direction.

When did he make her angry?

At six o’clock, when the rest had gone out for dinner, Tang Yan called Feng Shanshan to the door. “Tell me. What is it?”

“What is what?” Feng Shanshan asked in confusion.

“The way you look at me and your attitude.”

“Are they important to you? How I look at you and my attitude toward you?” Feng Shanshan leaned against the wall and squinted her eyes. “You can do whatever you want. Solving the case is the priority, so how can I stop you? Your wound is stretched again, right? Who do you try to show your diligence to? If you have someone you care for, you wouldn’t have been this unconcerned about yourself. So, Captain Tang, what’s the problem with me treating you this way?”

After hearing this, Tang Yan turned around quietly and went back into the police station. Feng Shanshan did not stay at the door and went out to have her dinner.

She felt that she was a little dramatic. However, Tang Yan’s indifference made her realize many things.

She could not expect any feelings from him. They were just sex partners.

But she could not make herself say it, that she was angry because she was worried.
