My Lovely Wife is a Forensic Doctor - Chapter 128
Chapter 128 Sulky Couple
Wang Linhua?
He’s the murderer?
Oh my god!
While Mu Yu was still in shock, Rong Jian had already sat up straight and ordered the driver to turn around and return back to Camphor Forest.
The driver could feel the tension from his tone so without any further questions, he immediately turned his car around.
“Ah!”
Everyone in the car tumbled left and right.
“Captain Rong, what’s going on?” Liu Xiaofan in the passenger seat quickly turned around and asked before even stabilizing himself.
“I suspect Wang Linhua is the one that murdered Zhao Yongli.”
“Wang Linhua? You mean Wang Linhua from the water delivery company?”
“Yes.”
“Him? That’s not possible.” Liu Xiaofan was in disbelief.
The other members of the task force who had just managed to stabilize themselves were in disbelief as well.
“Do you remember the silhouette that was captured by the surveillance camera in Qing Tian Group?”
Liu Xiaofan thought about it and he was shocked. “You mean that… Hey! Captain Rong, watch out!”
The car had yet to come to a stop at the entrance of Camphor Forest but Rong Jian had already dashed off. Everyone in the car broke out in a cold sweat as they saw him stumble forward. Fortunately enough, he reacted quickly and stabilized himself.
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief and at the same time, they followed him back in.
Xiao Gong who was on the phone was surprised to see them return but she still walked forward and greeted them.
“Captain Rong, you all… Hey, what are you all looking for? Are you all looking for Miss Kiki? She’s…”
Mu Yu dragged her closer and explained, “We are looking for the customer that came in just now.”
“Customer?” Xiao Gong could not help but laugh. “We are only open in the afternoon. It’s only ten in the morning now, why would there be any customers? Did you all make a mistake?”
“Only open in the afternoon?” Mu Yu was shocked but she reacted instantly and immediately asked, “Are the water dispensers here also delivered by Qing Quan Group?”
“Yes, it has always been delivered by their company. Why?”
“Where’s the worker, Wang Linhua?”
“He left after vetting through the accounts.”
“He left? When did he leave?”
“He left for quite some time already. He left before you all did.”
Mu Yu was surprised. “We were here in this lobby and we didn’t see him leave.”
“He left from the back entrance. He probably went to the office building behind our store to vet through the accounts.”
“Oh, thank you.” Mu Yu rushed over to provide an update to Rong Jian.
Rong Jian looked for Xiao Gong to provide him with all the relevant information. Then, he immediately redelegated and reassigned the tasks to the members of the task force.
“If there’s any new leads in Qing Tian Group, report back to me right away,” Rong Jian said as he left with his team from the back entrance.
Liu Xiaofan and Mu Yu who were given the orders to return back to Qing Tian Group were disappointed. However, they had no choice but to abide by the orders.
“Officer Liu, do you think Wang Linhua could be the murderer?” Mu Yu asked on their way back.
“Why not?” Liu Xiaofan understood what Mu Yu meant and he pretended to be a veteran in this topic. “Although he looked like an honest person, we have no idea what his actual personality is like. Culprits would not expose their malicious intent to other people. A lot of people that look scary and fierce are merely ordinary people. On the other hand, those that look honest and friendly were usually the evil ones.”
Although Mu Yu disagreed with Liu Xiaofan’s opinion, she kept quiet and went into deep thought.
If Wang Linhua was really the murderer that killed Zhao Yongli in such cruel fashion, it would mean that the honest and simple minded look he gave off was merely a front.
At the same time she had a feeling that if Wang Linhua was the culprit for Zhao Yongli’s case, he may be Luo Mingan.
The image of the machete in Luo Mingan’s hand that still had blood dripping all over it flashed through her mind. Her body trembled and she was instantly overwhelmed with fear.
All of a sudden, she came to the realization that it was merely an illusion that she had managed to overcome her trauma. She merely thought that Wang Linhua was not Luo Mingan that’s why she was not afraid of Wang Linhua. When she was looking into Luo Mingan’s information on the internet, she subconsciously replaced Luo Mingan’s image with Wang Linhua. Therefore, deep down in her heart, she was still avoiding and running away that incident in the past. She was tricked by her subconscious thoughts.
Luo Mingan’s incident had always traumatized her since the start.
She leaned back onto the chair quietly and took a deep breath. At the same time, she massaged her temple as she tried to drive out the uneasiness in her mind.
“Doctor Mu? Forensic Doctor Mu?”
“Ah?” She opened up her eyes and saw that Liu Xiaofan was staring at her. Only then did she realize he was speaking to her so she asked, “Yes?”
“Are you okay? Did my loud voice spook you?” Liu Xiaofan noticed the unusual expression on her face.
“I-I am alright. Oh right, you were saying?”
“I said that you can return back to the meeting room and pack up. I will head to the various departments and take a quick look around to see if I can find any new clues.”
“Oh, alright.” Mu Yu agreed to it because she knew that Liu Xiaofan was looking after her. Furthermore, she was also not in the mood to do anything else.
Once she entered Qing Tian Group, she parted ways with Liu Xiaofan and walked into the lift. She clicked on the button to bring her to the floor where the meeting room was at. Then, she stared at the screen in the lift and zoned out.
With a ring, the lift reached its destination and opened its doors. Mu Yu was a little surprised to see Qin Jinhuan standing outside waiting for her. She was in a bad mood so she did not want to be in the same space as him. Thus, without any hesitation, she stretched her arm out to shut the doors.
Just as the doors were about to close, Qin Jinhuan suddenly stuck his foot out in between the lift doors.
“Hey!” Mu Yu shouted. She quickly pressed on the button to open the lift doors as she scolded, “Are you crazy? Do you know that’s extremely dangerous?”
Qin Jinhuan kept quiet and he took a step forward. He grabbed onto her arm and dragged her out of the lift.
“Hey! What are you doing? Let go! I am very busy and I have to head to the meeting room.”
“Isn’t this the meeting room?”
“Ah?” She stopped and took a closer look. Oh it is the meeting room. When she saw him outside the lift, she thought that she had arrived at his office.
“Captain Rong is out on a mission.”
The meeting room had been temporarily given to the task force to be used as their office. Thus, she knew that he was not here for a meeting and she thought he was here to look for Rong Jian.
“I am here to look for you.”
“Look for me?” She brushed his arm off unhappily and walked into the meeting room. Then, she looked for a spot and sat down.
She did not think that he would be there with any good intentions. Furthermore, she was in a bad mood so she did not want to meet him at all.
“Why didn’t you eat the food that I prepared for you?” He said as he placed the lunchbox in front of her.
“Thats…” She realized that it was the lunchbox that Wen Zeyu gave her and she left it behind in the morning. She nonchalantly replied, “I had a filling breakfast so I wasn’t hungry.”
“You had three sips of milk, four mouthfuls of porridge and a small bun. That’s enough to fill you up?”
His questioning tone displeased her. However, the things that he said surprised her. She subconsciously thought that he asked Li Xianglan about what she had in the morning. She also thought about the fact that he prepared food for her and because of that, she was touched. In return, she asked, “You weren’t at home so how did you know I had those things for breakfast? Also, how would you know that I am not full?”
“Do you think that you are a three year old kid?” Qin Jinhuan opened the lunch box up and sternly said, “Finish it.”
Mu Yu was surprised to see that the lunchbox was filled with her favorite Osmanthus Rice Cake. She knew that it was not possible to purchase this in the morning.
She asked, “You asked Mrs. Lan to make this?”
He coldly stared at her and replied, “Shut up and eat.”
She picked up a pair of chopsticks and poked at the rice cake that was as hard as a piece of rock. She pouted her lips and said, “Is this even edible?”
Although she was touched, she was not willing to let him know that.
“You missed out on the best timing to consume them so you can’t blame me for that.”
“You didn’t ask Zeyu to tell me that it was Osmanthus Rice Cake.
“Are you going to eat it?” He clearly had no patience to dwell on this matter.
“It’s become cold and hard. I won’t be able to chew on it. I will eat it tonight after heating it up.”
“No! You have to consume them now!” He snatched over the lunchbox that she was going to put away. Then, he once again placed it in front of him and adamantly ordered, “If you can’t chew on it, gnaw at it.”
“Are you crazy? Why don’t you show me how to do it?” She angrily rebutted. With that, the emotional feeling she had vanished as well.
I have already taken a step back and tried to patiently communicate with him. Yet, he ignored me and couldn’t care less.
Luckily I didn’t showcase the fact that I was touched just now.
Out of pettiness, she sat down and crossed her legs. Then, she glanced at him with the side of her eyes and looked at him nonchalantly as if there was nothing he could do about it even if she chose not to eat.
Qin Jinhuan squinted his eyes and picked up the sign in sheet of the task force. Then, he crossed her name off and casually said, “You have been kicked off the task force so from tomorrow onwards, you don’t have to come to Qing Tian Group anymore.
Mu Yu was startled and leaped up from her seat. However, she soon calmly waved her arms and said, “You are not my superior. You have no right to do that.”
He frowned and replied, “I don’t have the authority? Why don’t I give it a try?”
“No, don’t!” She quickly held his arm that was holding onto his phone down. Then, she pleaded, “I will eat it! Please don’t!”
Qin Jinhuan brushed her arm off but he no longer took out his phone. Instead, he sat down beside her and copied her movement. He also crossed his leg and looked at her with a faint smile.
Mu Yu picked up the lunchbox and stared begrudgingly at the rice cake that had turned cold and hard like a rock.
This annoying bastard! Shameless bastard! He actually dared to threaten me like that.
Fine! I will forever remember this and I will eventually take revenge.
She cursed at how shameless Qin Jinhuan was and just as she was about to open her mouth, Qin Jinhuan stopped her and said, “If you feel wronged, you don’t have to eat it.”
As he said that, he glanced at the sign in sheet and his threat was self-evident.
Mu Yu clearly understood what he meant so she had no choice but to suppress her hatred and put on a forced smile. “Not at all. This is my favorite dessert.”
Then, she opened her mouth and acted like she was going to gnaw at the rice cake that was as hard as a rock.
“Are you going to consume the food that I buy for you in the future?”
Mu Yu’s lips had already come into contact with the rice cake and she was stunned. Then, she immediately nodded her head and said, “Yes, yes, I will make sure I eat everything you prepare for me in the future. I will eat everything, even if it’s poisonous.”
At that point in time, she had already realized that he was not actually forcing her to consume the cold and rock hard rice cake. He was merely annoyed at the fact that she did not take his words seriously. Thus, he wanted to take this opportunity to teach her a lesson.
Since there is a chance to turn back, there is no need for me to suffer for no reason.
“Although it’s cool, the osmanthus still smells pretty good. Thank you.” Although she was delighted, she still pretended like she was going to gnaw at the rice cake. In reality, she was actually moving extremely slowly.
As expected, just as her teeth came into contact with the rice cake, he stopped her. “You don’t have to eat that. However, you better keep what you said today in mind.”
“Of course!” By then, she had already placed the lunch box back down.
“Let’s go.” He got up and held her hand.
“Where are we going?”
“The canteen.”
“Ah? Canteen?” Could it be that he still had some inedible food prepared just to teach me another lesson?
“To have lunch.”
Mu Yu lifted her hand up and looked at her watch. She heaved a sigh of relief when she realized that it was almost noon.”
“Huan, you are also eating at the canteen today?”
Dong Wanqing?
Mu Yu who had not seen her for quite some time was also rather surprised to bump into her at the canteen. However, Dong Wanqing only had her eyes on Qin Jinhuan so Mu Yu could not be bothered to greet her. She walked over by herself to an empty table and sat down.
Qin Jinhuan noticed that Mu Yu was unhappy so he cut Dong Wanqing off and merely replied, “Send over two portions of food.”
Dong Wanqing nodded her head in response. Shortly after, she came over with another employee along with the two portions of food. As expected, she also served Qin Jinhuan herself.
Mu Yu who was rather famished could not be bothered. She picked up her chopsticks and just as she was about to eat, she thought of something. Her gaze turned cold and she heavily slammed her chopsticks down on the table.
