Chapter 521: What Face Does He Have to Come to You!
“Then you should go to the police station to make another statement to the police. Tell them this matter honestly. Otherwise, they will keep pestering you. To the Gu family, it is a time-bomb.” Gu Ziling told her uncle. “We are having a lot of trouble now. You should know how to prioritize.”
The man sighed and nodded. “Okay. I will listen to you, my niece. But you must come with me, and the lawyer, and the bodyguards.”
“Okay.” Gu Ziling responded candidly.
Soon, they went back to Sheng Mansion. Meanwhile, Hu Ran was having dinner with Third Brother.
“You came back so fast. Seems like the Gu family is not facing a big problem as rumored.”
“Of course, you will hope to see the Gu family fall tomorrow. But I’m sorry to say that your wish may not be coming true.” Gu Ziling sneered. “My uncle’s problem will be settled tomorrow.”
“That would be best.”
When the sisters-in-law were quarreling, the brothers did not interfere at all. But when Sheng Kai thought of his meeting with Sheng Xiao, he said to Third Brother, “You colluded with Eighth Brother to go against me, right? It’s okay. I will use the result of the collaboration with Tiffany & Co. to slap your face.”
Sheng Bowen frowned in puzzlement. “What does it have to do with Eighth Brother?”
“Eighth Brother mentioned about Tiffany & Co. today. If you did not tell him, how would he know?”
Sheng Bowen smirked and said the same thing as Sheng Xiao. “There is nothing Eighth Brother will not know about in Jianchuan. He used to be like that before, what’s more now. He has such a large network. He does not even have to move a finger to know about your petty things.”
“I don’t believe you.”
“Whatever.” Third Brother turned his head to Hu Ran and asked, “Are you done eating?”
Hu Ran nodded. “It’s so noisy here. Let’s go back into our room.”
“One is being pinned down by your brother and another one is being pinned down by her stepmother. You two don’t even dream about changing your fate.”
Hearing Gu Ziling’s mocking remark, Sheng Bowen turned to her and said, “Same goes for you.”
Hadn’t they been suppressed by Sheng Xiao and Mu Qiqi?
…
The winter rain was humid and cold.
Sheng Xiao let Xu Che drive him to the forensic laboratory at nine o’clock. At that time, the police also gained a lot of new clues.
“On the day she died, the victim had met with Huocong in the afternoon. Besides, the lime powder in the child’s wound is no ordinary lime. We have searched all the construction sites and factories in close proximity to the location where their corpses were disposed of. In the end, we found similar lime powder here. It so happens to be the seaside amusement park that the Gu family is building. We suspect that it is the primary crime scene. But now that we have not obtained the search warrant, we dare not go in hastily.”
When the police were in a meeting, the forensic doctors were also listening.
“Therefore, this Huocong is still the prime suspect.”
Huocong was Gu Ziling’s uncle’s name.
“Leader, we have just received a call from the Gu family. Huocong has agreed to come to make a statement.”
“Then our meeting will end here. We shall wait until tomorrow after the interrogation is done, then we will see if we get any useful clues.”
Mu Qiqi rarely stayed in the forensic laboratory until this time. When the professor came to inform her that she could leave, she was already sleeping on the chair.
Mu Qiqi had lectures in the day and worked on the case at night. She really did not take serious care of her body. Even Feng Shanshan knew that she had to rest. Mu Qiqi was just so enthusiastic about the case.
After waiting long enough, Sheng Xiao got out of the car and walked into the police station. Knowing he was a family member of the staff, they did not stop him and brought him into the forensic laboratory.
In the laboratory, the professor was trying to wake her up.
“Such good timing. I really don’t know what to do with her.” The professor said to Sheng Xiao, “Just carry her back. It’s so cold. She will catch a cold if she sleeps here.”
Sheng Xiao put his arms around Mu Qiqi and lifted her.
Even with such a big move, the little one did not wake up.
“Chief Sheng, you should remind her to rest. If she is already such a workaholic now, what will become of her when we have a big case in the future? She will work herself to death!”
“Thank you, Professor.” Then, Sheng Xiao carried the little one into the car. He ordered Xu Che. “Go.”
Mu Qiqi did not wake up at all. She slept soundly in Sheng Xiao’s arms until they were home.
When Mama Sheng saw Mu Qiqi, who was always so lively, was carried home, she quickly asked, “What happened to Qiqi?”
“She is just too tired,” replied Sheng Xiao.
“Then hurry up and bring her to the room.” Mama Sheng beckoned. “This child seems to really like solving crimes.”
Sheng Xiao carried Mu Qiqi straight into the bathroom and put her into the bathtub.
When the little one felt the warmth of the water, she opened her eyes slowly. “Wasn’t I in the laboratory just now?”
Sheng Xiao had already taken off his clothes. He smirked. “So, what’s your function being in that place?”
“It’s my discovery that helped them find the primary crime scene, okay?” Mu Qiqi refuted.
“How fascinating.”
Knowing Sheng Xiao was upset, Mu Qiqi quickly dragged him into the bathtub. She rubbed his chest. “I will not make myself too tired next time. I swear.”
“Sheng Kai came to see me today. He wanted me to stop you from investigating the case.”
Mu Qiqi was shocked. “Is he even a human? Oh I know, since he has become Gu Ziling’s husband, they will become more and more similar. What makes him think that he can come to you? What face does he have to come to you? I can still remember clearly how he pretended to be kind when he knew about your ‘misery’.”
“Why are you so worked up?” Sheng Xiao hugged her waist and asked.
“What I hate about the Sheng family is that they think there is nothing they cannot do relying on their relationship. If it is only in the field of business, I won’t say anything. But now it’s about human lives! They could refuse to cooperate, but how could they disrupt the investigation? Damn it! Shameless!”
Listening to Mu Qiqi’s criticism, Sheng Xiao pinched her chin suddenly and kissed her. This woman was such a nag. Once she had started nagging, there would be no end.
Mu Qiqi was startled. Although she was a bit irritated, she still responded to Sheng Xiao’s kiss.
“Xiaoxiao, the more cases I took, the more I feel that people are the most terrifying.”
“Then do you want to know the terrifying side of me?” Sheng Xiao put his hand behind her neck and asked.
Mu Qiqi was stunned, then she shook her head. “No…” Having said that, she wanted to escape from the bathtub. However, Sheng Xiao had already pinned her in the bathtub.
“You know I am not as strong as you. You always bully me.” Mu Qiqi muttered.
“Don’t you want me?”
