Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife

Chapter 514: Should I Congratulate You?

In the next two days, Liang Muze did not come to the university. Mu Qiqi was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. She did not fear him. She just thought him as a trouble.

The Liang brothers did not look like normal people. It’s no wonder they were called a mysterious family. It would be best if she would not see them.

“We are supposed to leave tomorrow. But the professor asked us to go back to Jianchuan first. Let’s say goodbye to our teammates first,” Feng Shanshan said to Mu Qiqi. She knew Mu Qiqi did not like being with the teammates.

“Didn’t you find any rich husband candidates?”

“Let’s go. Solving the case is more important.”

Mu Qiqi nodded. Then, they packed their luggage.

It’s inevitable that the other members in the team would sneer at her. “You are the person chosen by the professor, of course you are different from us normal students.”

“Didn’t you used to hate Mu Qiqi, Feng Shanshan? Now you have learnt how to flatter her already?”

Mu Qiqi heard the mocking remark just before getting into the car. She said to him directly, “When did you see her flattering me? We are still enemies.”

“I’m sorry, Mistress. If you are so loyal to the Crown Prince, you should not seduce the second young master of the Liang family.”

Everyone had of course heard about Liang Muze staring at Mu Qiqi for the whole morning that day.

Hearing this, Mu Qiqi did not say anything. She felt that it was unnecessary to explain herself anymore. Things would only get worse when she explained. And who these people were to her? Why must she explain to them?

“The car is here. Let’s go. The professor is having a headache now. They might not be busy, but we are,” said Feng Shanshan to Mu Qiqi.

“You’re right.”

After that, Mu Qiqi got into the car with Feng Shanshan. But when she closed the car door, Mu Qiqi found that the person who came to pick her up was Xu Che.

“When did you come?”

“Mistress, I never left,” said Xu Che, “Chief Sheng ordered me to take care of your safety.”

In fact, he was afraid that she would be harassed by the Liang brothers.

“What is the case this time? The professor seems to be very anxious.”

“A female corpse is recovered from the dry well on the outskirts of the city. There was a ten-month-old baby beside her. They are mother and son. The professor found that the cause of their death is disputable, so he requested to conduct an autopsy on their bodies. But the thing is, the woman was the daughter-in-law of a rich family in Jianchuan. But two years ago, she ran away from the family. Since then, her whereabouts have been unknown. The rich family is not bothered to know the cause of her death, so they refused the autopsy. They just wanted to close the case as an accident.”

Feng Shanshan described the case briefly.

“Tell me. Which rich family is that?”

“They are the relatives of the Gu family. It’s such an incidence that you will get to meet your enemy again. According to the hierarchy of the family, that person is Gu Ziling’s uncle. So, the professor thought you might be able to help.”

“According to the law, if criminal investigators dispute the cause of death of the deceased, they do not need the consent of family members.”

“They are an influential family. They could easily put pressure on the petty investigation team. There is nothing we can do since the rich can always do whatever they like.” Feng Shanshan frowned.

Mu Qiqi rolled her eyes. She also thought that the case was a trouble and she did not feel like taking it. “Just follow the procedure.”

“The authorities are afraid.”

“What stand do I take to convince the family?” Mu Qiqi felt that she might also be helpless this time.

“Let’s take a look at the body first.”

Mu Qiqi nodded and called Sheng Xiao. She told him she was going to the forensic laboratory.

Sheng Xiao already heard Mu Qiqi mentioning the case two days ago, so he did not say anything. As for the matter with the Liang brothers, it was somehow solved.

In the evening, the two entered the forensic laboratory. Seeing the professor standing beside the sink helplessly, they approached him. “How’s the progress, Professor?”

“You can take a look at it yourselves.” He pointed at the corpse.

After encountering the male corpse with a dead baby in his stomach, Mu Qiqi’s courage had taken a leap again. She had begun to get used to horrible scenes.

They got changed into the working outfits and went to the corpse. They were shocked just by looking at the surface of the corpse.

“There were cuts all over the body. Her eyes were removed, and her nails were plucked. And her vagina… it’s stuffed with stones.” Mu Qiqi told Feng Shanshan after examining the body. “And what is more horrifying is that these wounds were not severe enough to cause her death. Perhaps this is the reason the professor wants to conduct an autopsy.”

“The baby was simply thrown to death. But, it’s such a small baby, when it fell into the well which is ten meters deep…”

Feng Shanshan stopped, but Mu Qiqi could already picture it in her mind.

“And still the family insists it was an accident?”

“It’s about the secrets of that family. If the secret is exposed, it will be a severe blow to them. You know that,” Mu Qiqi explained to Feng Shanshan, “Some rich families could face the law squarely. But a majority of them could not. They see human lives and laws as nothing, let alone the sense of justice.”

“Qiqi, is there anything you can do about it?” The professor wanted to persuade the family to agree on the autopsy through Mu Qiqi.

“The deceased was missing for two years but why didn’t her husband file for a divorce in the court? If they are divorced, then there will be no need for us to get their consent. Then the case will be easier to investigate. Professor, it’s not that I don’t want to help, but I have no relation to the Sheng family anymore. Besides, the Gu family hates me. It’s better for the police to do the job instead of me.”

The professor nodded. “You’re right. I’ll let the police verify what the relationship is between the deceased and her husband.”

“What about her lover, Professor?”

“We can’t find any clues in her house until now.”

Mu Qiqi nodded and looked at the pitiful mother and son again. They obviously died from revenge.

“Besides, the police visited her family. But they refused to cooperate.”

“They must be afraid of getting into trouble. They simply want to protect themselves.”

It was terrible for a woman, who went missing for two years to die a tragic death all of a sudden. Mu Qiqi wondered how disgusting Gu Ziling would feel when she got the news.

Mu Qiqi could only go home at ten o’clock at night. When he saw her man, she thought of something.

“Xiaoxiao, the case is related to the Gu family.”

“Should I congratulate you for that?” Sheng Xiao stroked her head and smiled.

“I have thought about it on my way home. I know I can’t help much in this case because of our relationship with the Gu family. But the mother and the son were very pitiful to die in such tragic ways. I really feel that I should find out who the murderer is. I feel helpless.”

“You shouldn’t say that you can’t before you try, should you?”
