My Lovely Wife is a Forensic Doctor - Chapter 344
Chapter 344 Discord
He agreed to their terms before, didn’t he? He shouldn’t have changed his mind, right?
If he changed his mind, she would despise him!
With suspicion, Mu Yu bid farewell to Feng Rubing and left the forensic lab. On the way to the bureau chief’s office, she wanted to call Rong Jian. In the morning, she called Rong Jian and told him about her going to Huacheng. Rong Jian was supportive, and she would have to ask for his help if Gu Zhaohui objected. Nevertheless, she wasn’t certain about Gu Zhaohui’s decision, so she decided to drop the idea. What if Gu Zhaohui’s intention of seeing her was not because he wanted to stop her from going to Huacheng, but was talking about other things?
While she was thinking, she had already arrived at the door of the bureau chief’s office. After knocking on the door and entering, she realized that the room was packed with people. There were Rong Jian, Liu Xiaofan, Fan Lifeng, Yan Zihao, and also a few members of the Special Investigation Unit, which made her feel strange and puzzled.
“Director Gu…”
“Take a seat.” Gu Zhaohui motioned for Mu Yu to sit down. Then, he looked at everyone and continued to speak, “Today, we have a detailed discussion on these four murder cases. Through the comparison of the murder weapons, the methods of committing the crime, and the traces of the scenes, we unanimously believe that Sun Meilan, Zhao Yongli, and Li Jianyun were killed by the same murderer. As for Qian Dacheng, everyone has different opinions because of the differences in the details, but most people think that it was the same murderer from the first three cases—and I favor that opinion too. Now, we can’t be sure if Sun Meilan went to Huacheng six years ago, but at least we know that Zhao Yongli, Li Jianyun, and Qian Dacheng had stayed in An City before. However, when Rong Jiang and the team went to the city to investigate, they couldn’t find the connection between the three of them. I wonder if there is no connection between them at all, or if we made a big mistake in our investigation.”
“The three victims came from the same city, and this city is so far away from An City. I don’t think it’s a coincidence. We must have overlooked something,” Qiao Zihan, one of the Special Investigation Unit’s members, expressed his opinion.
“We should focus our attention on Huacheng instead of wasting time on An City.” The other member of the Special Investigation Unit, Guo Fei, sounded a little harsh as he was a veteran among them.
Gu Zhaohui did not mind. He turned to Rong Jian and asked in a consulting tone, “I have the same idea as Guo Fei. How do you think we should allocate the manpower?”
Without waiting for Rong Jian to reply, Guo Fei spoke first, “They have already been to Huacheng several times, but they didn’t find any concrete clues. Even if they go again, the result will be the same. It is just like the people with bad luck who play cards. No matter how they continue to play, they will lose. It is better to let another group of people go this time.”
This obviously contemptuous tone irritated Fan Lifeng. He immediately hissed sarcastically, “Do you think that you can solve the case immediately if you go?”
Guo Fei snorted softly. “It’s possible.”
“Tsk, you’re full of hot air.”
“Hah, whether I’m full of hot air or not, you’ll see when I produce the results.”
“Alright. I’m looking forward to your results, Chief Guo,” Fan Lifeng snarled in contempt, disregarding Rong Jian’s warning for him to stop talking. Fan Lifeng was annoyed with Guo Fei’s arrogance.
“Calm down. I’ll show you sooner or later.”
“It’s not like the people in An City haven’t seen Chief Guo’s capability before. He won’t be inferior to Chief Rong,” Qiao Zihan, who had a good relationship with Guo Fei, spoke up to defend him.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk, you’re so cocky. How dare you compare him with Chief Rong…”
“Enough! All of you, shut up!” Gu Zhaohui slammed the table angrily. “We don’t even have any progress on the case, but you have the nerve to brag about your ability in my office! The last thing I want is a civil war! You’re nothing but a bunch of good-for-nothings if you don’t solve the case!”
Rong Jian pulled Fan Lifeng behind him and scolded him in a low voice. Then, he turned to Gu Zhaohui and apologized in a serious manner, “I’m sorry, Director Gu. We didn’t perform well in the investigation.”
“Huh, if you have the time to apologize, it’s better to use that time to solve the case quickly! Alright, stop fighting. Since you’re not convinced of each other, how about dividing you into two teams to go to Huacheng and investigate the case? Let’s see which team will find the most useful clues to solve the case. Of course, it’d be best if you can solve the case directly. That’s also the best way to prove your ability.”
“I think this is a good idea.” Guo Fei glanced at Rong Jian provocatively, then he turned to look at Gu Zhaohui. “Director Gu, how do you want to divide the team?”
“Which team do you want to be in?” Gu Zhaohui asked Guo Fei back.
“I want to be in the same team as Zihan.”
“Okay.” Gu Zhaohui turned to Rong Jian and asked, “Who do you want on your team?”
“Uh… I have some personal business to deal with these two days, so I’ll be occupied. How about this?” Rong Jian pointed at Mu Yu and asked for Gu Zhaohui’s opinion, “Xiaofan will take Doctor Mu to Huacheng first. Doctor Mu always hopes to have a chance to go out to the field and observe the investigation first-hand. I think this is a good opportunity for her. After I finish dealing with my matters, I will go and meet them…”
“What about me and Lifeng?” Yan Zihao interrupted and asked urgently.
“You two and the rest stay with me in An City and pay close attention to all kinds of activities on An City’s side. If you find anything, report it to them in time to facilitate their investigation.” Gu Zhaohui quickly made arrangements. Then he looked at Guo Fei and asked, “You and Zihan will be on the same team. Rong Jian, Xiaofan, and Doctor Mu will be on the same team. Are you okay with that? Do you have any objections?”
Guo Fei knew Mu Yu’s identity. He smiled and nodded respectfully at her while expressing his opinion to Gu Zhaohui, “No objections. I’m okay with it.”
Qiao Zihan agreed with a smile, “I don’t mind them having Doctor Mu on their team. Please do as you please.”
Gu Zhaohui nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand. “Okay, then you guys go and prepare for the trip.”
Seeing everyone walking out, Mu Yu got up and walked out with her head lowered, but Gu Zhaohui stopped her. After everyone left, he smiled and comforted Mu Yu, “Guo Fei and the guys like to brag, and they always talk like that. Please don’t mind them.”
My Yu pursed her lips in embarrassment as Gu Zhaohui could read her mind. Then, she sighed, “Well, I know what I’m lacking, so I can’t blame them for looking down on me.”
“Well, you can slowly gain your experience and improve your ability by exposing yourself to the job more. Rong Jian had told me about taking you to Huacheng to improve your skills. Honestly speaking, it’s against the rules, but since Rong Jian had told me this, I have to respect him. Also, you need this kind of opportunity to study and train yourself. I just didn’t expect that Guo Fei and the others would have such a strong opinion about this. Don’t worry about them. I hope that when you return to An City, I can see a different you. I’m looking forward to your improvement.”
At this time, Mu Yu, who had just calmed down, knew that she had misunderstood Qin Jinhuan, and she was moved by Gu Zhaohui’s encouragement. She thanked Gu Zhaohui very solemnly and then expressed that she would do her best to help Rong Jian and the others investigate and solve the case.
“Well, don’t just focus on the investigation. You must take care of yourself and be careful.”
“I will. Thank you, Director Gu.”
“You are leaving early tomorrow morning. Hand over your work as soon as possible and then go back to pack your luggage.”
“Okay.” Mu Yu did not tell him that she had already packed her luggage. She thanked him again before leaving the bureau chief’s office.
After Mu Yu left, Gu Zhaohui closed the door and took out his phone to call Qin Jinhuan, telling him that he had successfully arranged for Mu Yu to go to Huacheng.
“Very good. Thank you,” Qin Jinhuan said from the other side of the line.
“You’re welcome. It’s my honor to be able to give you a hand.”
This remark made Qin Jinhuan smile slightly, and after a brief exchange of pleasantries, they ended the call.
Qin Jinhuan was over the moon when he learned that Mu Yu had stopped Rong Jian from telling Gu Zhaohui the truth about Dong Wanqing, because he knew that Mu Yu stood in his shoes by doing so. It also meant that she loved him deeply. As long as she loved him, he was confident that he could patch things up and win her back again. It would need some time.
He ran home excitedly, but he did not expect to see the scene of her insisting on leaving home. He desperately wanted to dissuade her from leaving, but when he thought of Rong Jian’s words, he realized that he had to give her some time to convince herself to accept him again. Therefore, despite his reluctance, he chose to respect her decision and called Rong Jian to think of a more appropriate excuse for her to go to Huacheng. After all, she was Mrs. Qin. Her sudden disappearance in the public eyes would raise suspicions about their marriage. He didn’t want Grandpa and Mu Yu’s parents to know about their discord, nor did he want his marriage problem to become the talk and the laughing stock of the people. Hence, he had to make sure that Mu Yu left An City justifiably.
Rong Jian informed him that the bureau was indeed preparing to send a team of people to Huacheng for a detailed investigation, so he immediately contacted Gu Zhaohui, stated Mu Yu’s intention to join the team to sharpen her skills and gain more experience, and asked Gu Zhaohui to arrange for her to join the Special Investigation Unit to go to Huacheng. Although it was against the rules, Gu Zhaohui agreed and gave Mu Yu a chance to go matter-of-factly.
Mu Yu was going to Huacheng early tomorrow morning, and he probably couldn’t see her for a long time. Thinking of this, he felt a void in his heart. He silently picked up the photo frame on the table and gazed at the photo affectionately.
At this moment, someone knocked on the door.
It was Bian Zijun.
“Boss, I’ve made proper arrangements in Huacheng as you instructed.”
“Where’s Cheng Xiang?”
“He went home to pack up.”
“Tell him to protect young mistress at all costs, and that I’ll make him perish if anything happens to her.”
“Yes, Boss.”
“Where is Yin Anran?”
“She left An City last night. I’ve warned her, and she promised that she would never return to An City again.”
“Good.”
“As for the person who sent young mistress the message, we still haven’t gotten any clue.”
“Got it.”
After Bian Zijun left, Qin Jinhuan fell into deep thought.
Was it that guy who sent the malicious message to Yu and created chaos in the company?
If it really was him, why would he do this?
For money?
“If it really is you, don’t blame me for being ruthless and not caring about friendship, because it was you who abandoned our friendship first.”
Qin Jinhuan’s face was covered with a layer of coldness.
On the other hand, after Mu Yu completed the handover of the work at hand, she returned home.
In fact, she had nothing to hand over, because Feng Rubing had participated in the work she was working on. Even if she didn’t say anything, Feng Rubing would take the initiative to complete the tasks at hand.
When she returned home and closed the door, she quietly opened the suitcase and carefully checked it. After making sure that she had packed the necessities, she put the suitcase back into the wardrobe and curled up on the sofa to look at the room in a daze.
Tomorrow, she would travel to a new place, where he wasn’t there. She could no longer hear his gentle voice, see his affectionate eyes, and inhale his familiar scent.
She suddenly felt empty in her heart and a lump in her throat.
At this moment, she had the urge to stuff the clothes in her suitcase back into the wardrobe.
But it only lasted for a brief moment. In a flash, she forcibly dispelled that impulse because she thought of the fetus that had only lived in her belly for less than two months.
She would temporarily bid farewell to her past, embrace her new life, and adjust her mood. She would not allow herself to be dispirited. This was her current thought, and she would do as planned.
“Alright, stop thinking about this. I have to have a good dinner with Grandpa, Mom, and Dad. Tomorrow, after sending them to West Mountain Sanatorium, I’ll head to Huacheng.”
“Mu Yu, you are not going to Huacheng for fun. You have a mission. Don’t forget your mission,” she thought to herself.
With that, she immediately jumped up from the sofa, walked to the table, opened the bag, took out the laptop, and began to seriously plan what she was going to do when she was in Huacheng.
The dinner was lively as ever, and she was still in a dilemma with Qin Jinhuan. The next morning, she, Qin Jinhuan, and Qin Chengxi sent Qin Xiaozhi and Mu Yu’s parents to West Mountain. The twins, Yu Zhongguang, Li Xianglan, and several servants would stay with them at West Mountain. When she returned home, Mu Yu felt that the house was cold and quiet, but she did not care. Cheng Xiang went upstairs to help her carry the suitcase. Then, she went to the train station with Cheng Xiang and Liu Xiaofan.
Although Qin Jinhuan had been following behind her, she had always regarded him as if he was invisible. It was not until the high-speed train drove out of the platform that she hurriedly leaned against the window to look at him. However, it was too late, and he was already out of sight. The train had already traveled far away, so far that she could no longer see his figure.
She was suddenly dazed and leaned her head against the window for a long time without moving.
“Young mistress, Boss asked me to pass this to you.” Cheng Xiang suddenly presented a delicately-wrapped box to her.
