Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife

Chapter 543: This Doesn’t Work on Me

Sheng Xiao stroked Mu Qiqi’s hair gently. “Forget it. I can’t stop you anyway.”

Soon after, Xu Che sent Mu Qiqi to the forensics laboratory. When she got there, the professor was busy working. When he saw Mu Qiqi, he smiled happily immediately. “Xiao Qi, you’ve come back just at the right time. Come and help me.”

“You at least need to wait for me to get ready and change into my working outfit first.” Mu Qiqi pointed at her casual outfit.

“You’re back at last.” Feng Shanshan walked out from the interior room. She had two big and dark panda eyes and her face showed extreme exhaustion. “It’s your turn to help the professor now. I need to take a nap on the sofa for a while.”

Mu Qiqi looked at the corpses on the tables. Then, she saw the tall man standing beside the dissection table and frowned. “He is...”

“A new police officer, Tang Yan,” Feng Shanshan said in a dejected tone. “He specializes in criminal profiling.”

Tang Yan stopped his work. He took off his gloves and stretched out his hand toward Mu Qiqi. “I have always wanted to see you.”

“I’m flattered.” Mu Qiqi reached out and shook his hand politely.

Then, they looked away from each other.

Mu Qiqi threw a questioning gaze at Feng Shanshan and mouthed, “What’s the matter?”

Feng Shanshan rolled her eyes. “I’ll tell you later. You should understand the case first.”

“What’s it about?”

“Four people died, two men and two women. Three of them were chopped to death and the last one was pierced by a fruit knife through his heart. The investigation team had done a background check on these four victims. For now, it seems that it was the murderer who killed the three before committing suicide. We can close the case with this conclusion, but it doesn’t appear to be as simple as it seems.”

“I shall examine the corpses first so that I can keep up with your progress.”

After that, Mu Qiqi focused on the corpses.

...

At ten o’clock the next morning, Sheng Xiao made an appearance in Zhongteng. The secretary sent him all the urgent documents that he needed to deal with right away.

He took a look at the documents on the table and said to Xu Che, “I want to know about the contract between Huang Yao and Tiffany & Co..”

“Knowing that you will ask for it, I have already looked into it. I’ve got some latest information from some of my sources.” Xu Che took out the requested document and handed it to Sheng Xiao. “Sheng Kai was on his way to Europe. But the situation in Tiffany & Co. is very unfavorable for him.”

“When I handed over Huang Yao to him, I never expected this.” Sheng Xiao stood in front of the french window and stared out of it with sharp and deserted eyes.

“That’s not something you can control.”

“Go and fetch Qi’er after she’s done with her class. We’ll go to the hospital.”

Huang Yao had a strong foundation, so this tens of billions worth of a contract would not hurt it. Even so, it will suffer great loss and it would take a long time to recover unless there was a backup plan that could save the situation.

“If I’m not mistaken, there is an older brother in the Tiffany family, right?”

“Indeed. When the old chairman passed away, the brothers had a fight for a long time. Since that older brother is not a pure Tiffany, he lost the battle.”

“If Sheng Kai is clever enough, he will find him.”

It might be a turning point.

However, Xu Che did not know how looking for the older brother would help with the current situation.

...

In the hospital, Gu Ziling told Sheng Kai about Grandpa Sheng’s wish to meet Sheng Xiao.

Sheng Kai finally got off the plane after so much work. But before he heard any good news, he was stabbed by his grandfather from the back. Was Grandpa Sheng doubting his capabilities so much that he was trying to meet Sheng Xiao? Was he thinking of letting him come back and take over the company?

He would not allow this to happen.

“Ziling, you listen to their conversation carefully and get ready in advance. I will not have Eighth Brother take away things I worked so hard to get.”

“I understand,” Gu Ziling said.

However, it might be easy for her to make things difficult for Sheng Bowen, but what about Sheng Xiao?

“I will go to Tiffany & Co. to understand the situation there. I’m relying on you to deal with the Sheng family. As husband and wife, we must work together.”

“Don’t worry.”

...

Mu Qiqi had a lecture to attend in the morning, so she could only briefly understand the case, and not fall behind too much.

Judging from the current situation, the distribution of the bloodstains was an important breakthrough point.

In such cases, the best way to go about it was to retrace the trail of the murderer. This would provide the police force with helpful information to solve the case.

“We shall wait for you two to conduct the experiment tonight. In the meantime, we will see if there is further information from the team,” the professor said to the two. “Go for your classes first.”

Mu Qiqi held Feng Shanshan, and they took the cab together.

However, seeing Tang Yan who was behind them, Mu Qiqi couldn’t help but gossip. “This man is so tall, so muscular, and so handsome. Aren’t you interested at all?”

Feng Shanshan rolled her eyes. “Stop it. I bad-mouthed him several times and he overheard me every time.”

“Oh, enemy-turned-lovers plot.”

“Shut up. I can easily tell you that among my ex-boyfriends, anyone of them has a higher EQ than him. He is such an ancient creature. I better not mess with him.” Feng Shanshan yawned. Her face showed that she wanted to keep a respectful distance from him.

“Besides, he comes to see you. ‘I have always wanted to see you.’ Duh.”

“I’m married. Don’t frame me, okay?” Mu Qiqi said quickly.

“Oh, I forgot that the one in your house is the king of jealousy.” After she said that, she closed her eyes. “Wake me up when we arrive at the campus.”

However, just before she finished her class, Sheng Xiao texted Mu Qiqi saying that he wanted to visit Grandpa Sheng later. Mu Qiqi sighed. She might not be able to help the professor in the experiment today.

She did not want to let Sheng Xiao face Grandpa Sheng, and Gu Ziling, alone, although nobody could actually bully her man.

Besides, it was not bad to have a chance to visit Third Brother and Third Sister-in-law.

At six o’clock, Xu Che drove Sheng Xiao and Mu Qiqi to the lobby of the hospital.

At that moment, Gu Ziling was sending food to Grandpa Sheng. When she saw Sheng Xiao and Mu Qiqi getting out of the car, the flame in her chest was ignited right away.

So, she did not think much and stopped them. “What are you doing here? Don’t you think you have hurt Grandpa enough?”

“Xu Che!” Sheng Xiao was too lazy to listen to her babbling and called for Xu Che.

Xu Che stood before Gu Ziling and blocked her way. “Miss Gu, I think you should wait here for a while.”

“What if I don’t?”

“Then I shall tell you clearly that I will beat anyone, regardless of age and gender, who does not have good intentions,” Xu Che replied, coldly.

“You...” Gu Ziling wanted to force her way around. However, Xu Che pushed her back.

Gu Ziling deliberately fell on the ground and shouted, “You shameless thing. You even bully a woman!”

People around them casted a strange look at Xu Che. However, Xu Che was indifferent. “This doesn’t work on me!”
