Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife - Chapter 766
Chapter 766: Do You Like Me Holding a Gun or a Knife?
“I’ll try my best.”
They already had some guesses in their hearts that needed to be confirmed.
“Is President Sheng by your side?” Tang Yan asked suddenly after a few seconds.
“Uh… how do you know?” Mu Qiqi was surprised. Did this person have ESP?
“You used his cell phone to make a call.” After saying that, Tang Yan hung up. At first, he was worried about Mu Qiqi’s safety, but now that Sheng Xiao was there to watch over her, there was no problem at all.
Although he did not approve of his subordinates being overly protected, under the same circumstances, if Feng Shanshan were to go out, he might not be able to sit still.
Mu Qiqi put down her phone and took a closer look at the case. She immediately understood.
She was the one who had lost herself in the case and was being silly.
“Why didn’t you remind me…”
“What’s the difference between yours and mine?” Sheng Xiao tidied up the documents and then pulled the curtains of the hotel room. “Wash up. Aren’t you getting up early tomorrow?”
“Captain Tang asked Senior Brother Cheng and I to find out who Mama Bai went to see during the weekends. I need to sort it out. Let me think about what I need to do tomorrow.” Mu Qiqi frowned and sat on the sofa as she spoke seriously.
“First, get Mama Bai’s phone records. Target the people who spoke to her during the weekend and check them one by one. Then, confirm her identity with the people from the communications department.
“Second, get the surveillance cameras around the Bai family and see if you can get anything out of them.”
“That’s about it,” Mu Qiqi thought to herself. Once she had the evidence, she would confront Mama Bai and the answer should be revealed. Mu Qiqi had a hunch that once this answer was revealed, the truth about Bai Xinyi’s suicide would not be far away.
Sheng Xiao looked at Mu Qiqi.
Just as Tang Yan had said, this little one was becoming more and more like a criminal police officer.
When she was busy, she looked serious and cautious, which made her even more charming.
Mu Qiqi put away her notes and looked at Sheng Xiao. When she saw that he was staring at her, her face turned red. “Something on my face?”
Sheng Xiao stretched out his long arm and scooped her up, letting her sit between his legs. “From now on, should I call you Doctor Mu or Officer Mu?”
“Which do you prefer?” Mu Qiqi leaned into Sheng Xiao’s arms and asked, “Do you like me holding a gun or a knife?”
Sheng Xiao’s lips curled up slightly when he heard this, and there was a hint of wickedness in the corners of his eyes. “Of course I’d like you… to hold a gun.”
Mu Qiqi immediately understood the double entendre and punched Sheng Xiao in the chest.
“You’re really…”
“Since you’re done, then take a shower and rest.” Sheng Xiao knew that she was very tired, so he did not hug her affectionately like he did at home. He took her to the shower and then laid her down on the bed.
Lying in his warm embrace, Mu Qiqi fell asleep immediately.
However, Sheng Xiao could not fall asleep no matter how hard he tried. This was not Jianchuan, nor was this a safe home. Even though Xu Che was next door, Sheng Xiao could not relax.
In the middle of the night…
A strong wind blew outside the window. A strange sound came from outside the hotel door. Sheng Xiao immediately opened his eyes.
Then, he let go of Mu Qiqi and got up. He then called Xu Che directly.
Xu Che came out from his room next door and saw a black figure disappear at the end of the corridor. He chased after it, but the figure quickly disappeared into the hotel garden without a trace.
A few minutes later, Xu Che returned and checked Sheng Xiao’s room door. He found that the door lock had been tampered with.
“President, it’s a professional job. If I weren’t here, the consequences would be unimaginable.”
“Let’s change rooms.” Sheng Xiao carried Mu Qiqi from the bed and went straight into Xu Che’s room.
When everything returned to normal, Sheng Xiao lay on the bed and thought to himself. Sometimes, he really did not know whether it was right or wrong to permit Mu Qiqi to offer her help.
Because this was obviously a case that should not be dug up. The more Mu Qiqi and the others dug into it, the more dangerous it would be.
Seeing how she was sleeping like a child, Sheng Xiao lowered his head and kissed her forehead. “Do you even know what kind of people you’re dealing with? Not all criminals are powerless. Do you even know what a battle of wits is?”
It was not that Mu Qiqi did not know. It was just that she had let down her guard when Sheng Xiao was by her side.
If she was sleeping alone, she would definitely be much more vigilant. For example, she would place a cup on the doorknob and search the room for cameras. It was only because her man was by her side that she dared to be so relaxed.
The next day…
Mu Qiqi woke up to see that Sheng Xiao had already gotten up.
Seeing that he had tidied everything up neatly, Mu Qiqi hurriedly got out of bed. “Why didn’t you wake me?”
Sheng Xiao did not mention anything about what had happened the night before. He only tugged at her arm and said, “I’ll be your chauffeur today.”
“Must it be like this?”
Sheng Xiao nodded. “I’m here to take you home.”
Senior Brother Cheng would laugh at her for being a child who had not been weaned yet. Only she knew how venomous Sheng Xiao’s eyes were and how narrow his heart was.
“If this goes on, no one in the family will be able to make money because I’ve captured you to investigate the case.”
“Don’t be so heartless. Once you’ve investigated this case, go back to school in peace.”
For some reason, Mu Qiqi felt that he knew something.
However, once this Master Xiao planned to hide it from her, he would not say anything.
Very soon, the few of them gathered at the door. After Mu Qiqi and Old Cheng had a short discussion, the two of them prepared to first retrieve Mama Bai’s phone records and start investigating the suspects.
This wasn’t a particularly tiresome task. After all, Mama Bai only contacted people on weekends, and it was a fixed number, so there should not be many contact numbers.
As expected, after the two of them scanned Mama Bai’s phone records, they locked on to two numbers and quickly found the owners of the two numbers.
One was called Zhou Qin, and the other was called Su Hong.
“Now, as long as we verify the identities of these two people, everything will be easy.”
But was it really as simple as Old Cheng had said?
“Qiqi, you take a rest first. I’ll call Captain Tang to report and see what he has to say.” Old Cheng took out his phone, unable to hide his excitement, because this seemed to be one step closer to the truth.
Mu Qiqi nodded. She ran until she was covered in sweat and returned to the car to rest.
However, just as Old Cheng was making a call, a motorcycle suddenly appeared from the corner and crashed into him.
Old Cheng did not notice the motorcycle and was slammed into the wall.
Mu Qiqi who was in the car saw everything clearly.
Sheng Xiao immediately turned his head and saw that Xu Che had already gotten out of the car and was running toward Old Cheng.
The motorcyclist noticed Xu Che and probably deduced that he wouldn’t be able to take him on, so he turned around and sped away without any hesitation.
Mu Qiqi quickly got out of the car to check on Old Cheng’s injuries. “Senior Brother Cheng, how are you?”
Old Cheng fell to the ground, his face pale. “It hurts… My stomach hurts.”
