Chapter 827: How Interesting
Sheng Xiao only entered the Shen family’s home at 8:30 pm. Seeing that the little one was in high spirits among the crowd, he simply threw away his fatigue and walked over to his family.
“Eighth Brother Sheng is back.” Huang Yu beamed.
“Grandpa, Dad, Second Uncle, Second Aunt.” Sheng Xiao greeted them one by one and nodded at Tang Yan. It seemed like these two were born to be brothers.
“This is for you from Dad.” Mu Qiqi handed the red packet to Sheng Xiao as if she was presenting a treasure.
“Silly girl.” Sheng Xiao took the red packet and kept it in the pocket of his suit.
“Eighth Brother, I want to watch you and Tang Yan have a match.” Shen Jianchuan observed his two sons-in-law for a bit and felt that they were both dragons and phoenixes among men. If they were to compete, it would definitely be more interesting.
“What do you want us to compete in?”
One of them was a business prodigy while the other was a boxing champion. One of them was a scholar while the other was a martial artist. They did not seem to have much in common. But in reality, this was not the case. Both of their brains were equally sharp.
“If they were to fight, Eighth Brother would definitely not be a match for him.” Huang Yu suddenly laughed. “He’s the national champion. His skills and technique would definitely be very beautiful.”
“Second Aunt, everyone has their own strengths, alright?” Mu Qiqi hurriedly tried to protect her man. “It’s not fair to compete like this.”
“Got it. Only you know how to defend your weaknesses.” Huang Yu could not help but laugh.
“What’s the point of letting these two smelly men compete? They don’t have anything in common. They’re not even comparable to me and Feng Shanshan.” Mu Qiqi said with interest. “Anyway, both of us are studying forensic medicine. I had a few more classes than you, so I’ll go against you and Tang Yan instead, or else I might be accused of bullying a pregnant woman.”
“How do you want to compete?”
“It’s very simple. There are a lot of apps for solving cases nowadays. The most famous one is a software called Genius Forensic Medicine. There are a lot of cases in it. We’ll randomly pick one and see who finds the cause of death and the murderer first. Then, the winner will be decided.” Mu Qiqi took out her phone and waved it at Feng Shanshan. “Tang Yan’s eyes are so sharp. I definitely won’t be bullying you.”
“You can also ask your CEO for help.”
When everyone heard that, they felt that it was rather interesting. In the past, Old Master Shen had objected to Mu Qiqi learning forensic medicine, but now that they were able to see this girl’s abilities with their own eyes, they felt that it was very new and interesting.
“Then hurry up and choose a question. I want to see it too…”
Mu Qiqi and Feng Shanshan downloaded the app and Mu Qiqi then handed the phone to Shen Jianchuan. “Dad, for the sake of fairness, the questions will be chosen by you guys.”
Shen Jianchuan took the phone and went closer to Elder Shen to choose.
“This one.” Shen Jianchuan selected the question and handed the phone to Mu Qiqi.
“This is called Prison Mystery.”
Feng Shanshan also found and opened it.
Then, the page showed a bare cell. Someone had died beside the iron door and was curled up on the ground in a C shape. There was nothing in the cell except for a bare iron bed.
The floor was very damp, and there were many scratches on the walls of the cell.
Besides that, there were some words at the bottom of the picture that stated: There is a strong smell of mold and rust.
After the old man saw it, he was confused. “You can solve a case like this? There is nothing… This person probably died of sudden death or illness.”
“Grandpa, please take a good look again.” Mu Qiqi reminded him with a smile.
The old man looked at it for a long time. No one could get in or out of a sealed cell like that.
“Grandpa, we have to rule out sudden death first. Look at the scratches on the wall. They are all fresh. There is a lot of mud and sand under the fingernails of the deceased. This means that he was in a lot of pain before he died and it lasted for a long time. He didn’t die suddenly,” Mu Qiqi replied.
“He didn’t die from illness either. There was no medicine in the room. This person’s body is strong. There shouldn’t be any chronic diseases,” Feng Shanshan added.
“Alright, you guys. Just tell me directly how this person died.”
Old Man Shen had been in the military all his life and he had never thought that a forensic doctor was anything special. However, looking at the way the two little girls solved the case, he suddenly felt that not everyone could be a forensic doctor.
Feng Shanshan and Mu Qiqi looked at each other and then carefully observed the body. After that, the two of them said in unison, “He was poisoned to death.”
“How did you come to this conclusion?”
“The room is sealed and there are no signs of damage. The ground is very damp and there are no other footprints. This means that no one had entered.
“The head of the body was facing down. We can’t see his face, but looking at his bare skin, it’s pigmented. That’s a typical sign of iron poisoning.”
Mu Qiqi explained calmly.
Then, Feng Shanshan added.
“Ferrous sulfate can be used as medicine to treat anemia. However, if consumed for a long period of time, or if there is an overdose, the iron will become stable on the skin and organs. It will damage the respiratory tract, liver, lungs, and the result is terrible. Of course, it will lead to death. There is also a reminder on this question that there is a smell of rust in the room.
“Ferrous sulfate appears in different states in different environments. It can melt in water, oxidize, and is poisonous. That’s why we concluded that he was poisoned.”
The old man nodded as he took in the girls’ explanation.
“Of course, this is only our speculation. We can dissect the body to get the answer very quickly.”
After listening to the two, Tang Yan clicked on the answer to the question.
As expected, it was ferrous sulfate poisoning.
After seeing the answer, the old man could not help but applaud the two of them. “In the past, I underestimated the forensics profession. The two of you have made me look at it now in a new light.”
“How interesting.” Huang Yu was stunned. She suddenly felt that the two girls were very impressive.
“So, this means that it’s a draw,” the old man said. “Both of them are very impressive. Very good.”
Tang Yan held Feng Shanshan in his arms. This woman had let go of her studies for quite some time, and yet she could still remember her so clearly. It was clear that she was really suitable for the profession of her choice and that she really liked it.
However, she had no choice but to let go because she wanted to give birth to their child. He felt extremely guilty.
Mu Qiqi leaned into Sheng Xiao’s arms. This was Sheng Xiao’s first time seeing how she worked so directly. It was very gratifying to see that the case get closed in front of him. She really had the demeanor of a forensic doctor.
Mu Qiqi saw that Sheng Xiao did not say a word, so she moved closer to him and smiled. “What’s the matter? Are you attracted to me?”
“We’ll talk about it when we get back…” Sheng Xiao hugged her.
An old man’s heart was beating for her.
Mu Qiqi understood what he meant. “Have fun tonight. I’ll have fun with President Sheng.”
The whole family was happy. This was something Feng Shanshan and Tang Yan had never experienced before. The two of them used to be alone. However, now that they were in the Shen family, they finally understood the true joy of family. What exactly did this mean? There were the old and young, and the whole family was neat and orderly!
“When your child is born in the future, it will be even more lively.”
Mu Qiqi leaned on Feng Shanshan’s arm and smiled.
