Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife

After dinner, Sheng Xiao actually went to his room and searched the news. He was curious to see how much perseverance the little miss had in her to do it all. And now, he could witness it.

The petite lady ran everywhere at the murder scene, entering and exiting the police cordon and area lined with yellow tapes. No wonder her feet were blistered. She was in a special case team. None of the cases they received were easy. Even men sometimes could not stand it, let alone a little girl.

After a while, Mu Qiqi woke up hungry from the bed and saw Sheng Xiao sitting next to her. She reached out and hugged her man naturally.

Sheng Xiao took a look at her, and knowing she had had enough sleep, he asked, “Hungry?”

“Yes!” Mu Qiqi nodded.

“Get up then. I just asked Aunt Wu to bring in the food.” Sheng Xiao pointed at the table with his chin.

Mu Qiqi sat up. When she smelled the food, she quickly got out of the bed and sat down at the table.

“How did you know I would wake up so soon?”

“I didn’t, but I know you will when you smell the food.” Sheng Xiao smiled and unbuttoned his shirt. Then, he took out a first aid kit from the cupboard and sat beside her.

Mu Qiqi was puzzled. She did not understand what he was doing. Then, she saw him taking out a band aid before lifting her legs and putting them on his lap.

“I know that going to the crime scenes, going out on the field, or perhaps even working graveyard shifts will become your lifestyle in the future. But I still hope that you will still think about me when you are injured or facing any danger. I hope you will worry about me feeling anxious for you.”

Mu Qiqi listened to Sheng Xiao seriously. She was confused. Normally, he would stop her.

But today, he did not.

“Are you wondering why I did not stop you from going to the crime scene?”

“Mm-hmm.” Mu Qiqi nodded.

“I saw you in the news today. I feel that my little one is becoming a person she wants to be. If that’s the case, why should I stop you?” Sheng Xiao bandaged her wound and asked her, looking into her eyes.

Listening to his explanation, she put down her chopsticks and threw herself into his arms. “I knew you are the one person in the world who understands me best.”

“Under one condition.”

“Say it.” Mu Qiqi’s eyes were shining bright like twinkling stars in the sky.

“You will have to attend all the courses on grappling, fighting, and self-defense skills offered by the university. Meanwhile, I will select some professional courses to help you strengthen your physical fitness.”

“I don’t need to go catch the criminals.”

“I’m asking you to master skills to escape.” Sheng Xiao pinched her nose. “In order to monitor you, I will make some time to practise with you.”

Mu Qiqi put her arms around his neck and nodded excitedly. “Okay, I do it.”

“Eat.”

The little one seemed to always obey him. But Sheng Xiao could feel it clearly, that on some matters, she would be determined and strong in her stand. And those were times when he would be the one to give in.

After eating, Mu Qiqi went downstairs. She purposely wanted to meet Mama Sheng because she did not want her to worry.

However, Mama Sheng had gone to Shen Mansion. It was Papa Sheng who was sitting in the living room, watching television.

“Father, aren’t you going to sleep?”

“Later. Qiqi, is the murderer a family member of the Gu family?”

Mu Qiqi was surprised that Papa Sheng would care about the case. She chuckled and said, “We cannot be sure of it yet.”

“Then you should be careful when you go out.”

“Okay.” Mu Qiqi was touched. Although Papa Sheng lived in the same house as she did, he seldom expressed his care for her. Nevertheless, she knew her father-in-law was really worried about her safety.

…

The next morning, Mu Qiqi went to the university. On her way, she received a call from the professor.

“We have found a match of the tire mark you found yesterday. It is from a blue mini truck. The police checked on the system to get the information of the owner, but the car plate number is fake. So, the team used the CCTV footage to trace the mini truck. And luckily, we found the parking place of the truck in just one night. It was near the house of the victim.”

“So have the police found the owner of the truck?” Mu Qiqi asked eagerly.

“The team checked all the CCTV footage along the route. They saw the person driving the truck, but his identity is still unclear. Anyway, you have made a great contribution this time, Qiqi.”

“When the murderer is identified, please tell me immediately, Professor.”

“I will.” The professor did not say it aloud, but his mood that day was much better than the previous two days. He was more relaxed now. “Right, we have found the victim’s eyes and fingernails as well as the cell phone from a trashcan nearby. Luckily it was a low-end residential area, so the trash hadn’t been cleared for days. But sadly, the cell phone was completely destroyed.”

It seemed like they were on the murderer’s trail already, and very closely at that.

“If that’s the case, can we be sure that the murderer is not related to the Gu family already?” Sheng Xiao asked Mu Qiqi after she hung up.

“Not quite yet.” Mu Qiqi answered seriously. “No outsider was permitted to enter the amusement park of the Gu family unless they are the construction workers of the company. So, how could the murderer commit the crime there?”

“Even if the murderer is not Huo Cong, he must have something to do with it. I can feel it.”

Sheng Xiao smiled handsomely. “You look cool, Dr. Mu.”

“Oh, I’m flattered. I would like to thank my beloved fiancé for his support.”

“Do you still remember what day it is two days after?”

“Of course.” Mu Qiqi harrumphed. “You underestimate me. No matter how important the investigation is, I will always prioritize your matters. It will never change.”

Sheng Xiao hugged his woman with satisfaction.

After the news yesterday, Mu Qiqi had become a star overnight and was now a rather well-known face in the field of forensic science.

When Feng Shanshan saw her, she snorted. “Didn’t you deal with Huo Cong yesterday? Why did you need to go to the crime scene?”

“The professor said he needed help, and so I went.”

“Well, you’ve made some contribution this time. I know about the progress already.” Feng Shanshan stopped mocking her. “The result will probably be out at night. Is there anyone you suspect?”

“The murderer is certainly not Huo Cong. The professor said the murderer parked the truck near the house of the victim. So, I have a feeling that he must be someone the victim was familiar with. I think we can question the victim’s best friend even more thoroughly. The victim has no other relatives in this world. She only has a best friend. The police will believe in whatever she tells them. Anyway, she must be thinking that the victim would not be able to reveal anything anymore. It’s a pity.”

“Justice has long arms,” Feng Shanshan continued. “Let’s see if your guess is right. We shall wait for the news from the professor.”
