Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife

Chapter 812: I Want to Understand

After two hours, Sheng Bowen and Shen Yu were sent to the foot of the mountain by the inn owner. However, Sheng Bowen was still stumbling and could only rely on Shen Yu to support him.

The two of them quickly arrived at the hotel at the foot of the mountain. The hotel manager was also very anxious. After all, that wasn’t an ordinary car. It was a Mercedes-Benz limited edition off-road vehicle.

“We’ve already called the police, but in the mountain area, the police force is limited, so the hotel staff went out to look for it first,” the manager explained to Sheng Bowen. “I’m sorry, Mr. Sheng.”

“No surveillance cameras?” Seeing that Sheng Bowen could not even speak, Shen Yu helped to ask.

“We pulled it up. The surveillance footage shows three men wearing masks driving away. But as you know, this area is remote and there are not many surveillance cameras. Outside of the hotel’s range of implementation, there’s nothing we can do,” the manager explained. “Our people have already gone out to look for it.”

“That car was a birthday gift from my mother. It’s been around for a while. I didn’t expect people to still want to steal it.” Sheng Bowen held his forehead. “It’s such a pity to lose it just like that.”

“It’s useless to think about it now,” Shen Yu comforted him. “It’s best if we can find it. After all, this type of car isn’t common. We should be able to find it.”

“That’s for the best.” Sheng Bowen was drunk, and he had a terrible headache. Now, he was completely light-headed.

Shen Yu let him lean on him, and the two of them waited in the hotel lobby. Unexpectedly, half an hour later, there was news.

The manager quickly walked over and said to the two of them, “Mr. Sheng, our people have got some news. We heard that someone saw the car heading toward the distillery.”

“Send me there.”

“Don’t go. You drank so much.” Shen Yu stopped him. “It’s raining again. The road is slippery in the dark. There’s really no need.”

“I’ll only be at ease when I see it with my own eyes.” Sheng Bowen hung on to Shen Yu. “You’re here, aren’t you?”

Shen Yu took a deep breath and finally said to the hotel manager, “You guys drive. Send us there to have a look.”

“Okay, I’ll send the car over right away.” The manager left quickly in his high heels.

A moment later, the hotel driver sent the two of them to the abandoned distillery. With the headlights, Sheng Bowen saw his birthday present parked at the door. However, when he got out of the car, he almost rolled off. He was very drunk.

“Be careful.” Shen Yu supported him and the two of them went to check on the car together.

The top of the car was in a mess. It looked like whoever stole it was only after money, not for the car.

Sheng Bowen jumped into the driver’s seat and tried to turn on the engine. He found his beloved car to still be in good condition.

Seeing this, Shen Yu said to the hotel staff, “Go back. The car has been found. Let your manager know and rest assured.”

The hotel staff let out a sigh of relief and drove away from the distillery. Now, only Sheng Bowen and Shen Yu remained there.

Sheng Bowen was very excited that he had recovered his car. After a good inspection, he was finally relieved.

“I almost got scared to death,” he said to Shen Yu. “Get in the car, I’ll take you back.”

“Are you really okay now?” Shen Yu asked him.

Sheng Bowen laid on the steering wheel and lost his strength. “I want to sleep.”

“Then I’ll drive. You sleep in the back seat,” Shen Yu said to him calmly and helped him to lie down in the back seat.

A moment later, Sheng Bowen’s even breathing could be heard from the back seat. Shen Yu immediately took out his backpack and quickly put on gloves, shoe covers, and a blue overcoat.

However, Shen Yu did not know that all of his actions were under Sheng Xiao’s surveillance. Seeing his equipment, Sheng Xiao understood what he was about to do.

It was not just Sheng Xiao, but Sheng Bowen as well.

He had taken anti-alcohol medicine and been in the cold wind for two hours. Along the way, he pinched his thumb and index finger to remind himself to wake up. It was all for this moment.

So, those were the items in Shen Yu’s backpack.

Sheng Bowen had a splitting headache, but he was abnormally clear-headed.

The road back to the hotel was clearly not that far, but in order to find a suitable place to commit the crime, Shen Yu deliberately drove far away. There were no streetlights, no surveillance, and there were few cars. Shen Yu found his target, a white sedan—it was so eye-catching in the dark.

Before Sheng Bowen could react, he felt like Shen Yu had changed lanes and accelerated.

At that moment, Sheng Bowen seemed to suddenly understand what Shen Yu was trying to do, and he immediately got up to stop him. “Shen Yu… Stop the car!”

However, he understood everything a little too late.

The two cars instantly collided, and Sheng Bowen felt even dizzier and his ears rang.

At that moment, Sheng Bowen felt as if he was dead…

When his ears returned to normal, Shen Yu continued driving. He didn’t know how many more meters he had traveled before the car finally crashed into a big tree.

With another violent collision, Sheng Bowen was extremely uncomfortable. He instantly opened the car door and threw up on the ground. After throwing up, he lay on the ground and fell unconscious with his clothes left on the car door.

At that moment, Shen Yu got out of the driver’s seat and carried Sheng Bowen up. He placed him in the driver’s seat. Then, he took off his gloves and shoe covers, and jumped back into the backseat of the SUV, pretending to have fainted.

Soon, the family that was hit by the car caught up with them. When they saw the car hit a tree, they immediately called the police.

It was another hit-and-run. It was clearly done with intention.

It was someone who was drunk driving and tried to escape…

When Sheng Bowen woke up, he was already at the police station with handcuffs.

The intense light stung his eyes. He immediately realized that he had fallen into a trap.

“You’re finally awake.” The policeman who was interrogating him knocked on the table. “Drunk driving and trying to escape. The prison is waiting for you.”

This time, Sheng Bowen was very calm. He only asked the policeman, “How is the family that was hit?”

“One was seriously injured and has fractures, and the other two were injured but not as badly. Fortunately, no one died. Otherwise, you would be looking at life imprisonment.”

“Officer, I was drunk at that time and didn’t drive at all. The driver was my friend,” Sheng Bowen explained. “If you don’t believe me, you can ask him. You can contact him immediately.”

“Save your tricks for the court.”

“Then can I see him?” Sheng Bowen begged. “Please… I want to understand.”

“Wait here”

The police laughed mockingly and got up to leave the interrogation room. Then, Shen Yu walked in.

“Why did you do that? I was so good to you.”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Shen Yu treated himself like a stranger. “I tried to persuade you, but you insisted on driving… You knew you still had a criminal record on you, but you insisted on destroying yourself. Even as a lawyer, I couldn’t save you.”

“You drove the car!” Sheng Bowen was on the verge of a breakdown. “I was so drunk that I passed out, how could I have driven?”

“The police station is a place where evidence is needed. Do you think you can slander me just by shouting? Sheng Bowen, you’re shameless!”
