Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife Chapter 522 - The Gu Family is in Big Trouble

Chapter 522: The Gu Family is in Big Trouble

“Why would I not want you? You know I can never refuse you.” Mu Qiqi turned around. When she saw the desire in Sheng Xiao’s eyes, she fell for him once again. “How is it possible that I love you so much?”

A pa.s.sionate kiss came like a storm. And the water in the bathtub cooled down gradually.

Fearing Mu Qiqi might catch a cold, Sheng Xiao fished her out of the bathtub and carried her to the bed.

Mu Qiqi was completely exhausted at that moment. She could barely talk anymore. “Xiaoxiao, I will sleep now. I have taken leave from studying to go to the forensic laboratory tomorrow. Because the Gu family is coming tomorrow.”

Sheng Xiao was playing with her fingers. Or at least that was what he appeared to be doing. In actual fact, he was measuring her finger to get the correct ring size. It was then that he realized that her hand that was meant for dissecting bodies seemed to be getting slimmer.

…

The next morning was bright and sunny. Mu Qiqi went to the forensic laboratory with her man’s car. She arrived at the place before the Gu family did.

While she did, the police worked efficiently. They went to the amus.e.m.e.nt park the Gu family was building with a search warrant early in the morning. However, the amus.e.m.e.nt park covered a large area. It was impossible for them to get anything in such a short time.

At nine o’clock, Gu Ziling accompanied her uncle to the police station. Seeing Mu Qiqi there, she sneered. “If I’m not mistaken, you are still a student. But you are here. Are you still saying that you are not targeting the Gu family?”

“It’s not that I’m willing to be here. But we all know that you, the Gu family, like to show off your wealth and act arrogantly. That is why I’m here to welcome you. Why? Don’t you like it?” Mu Qiqi was holding the doc.u.ments. Wearing her white lab coat, she looked just like a professional, full-fledged forensic doctor.

“My uncle is already inside. Are you satisfied now?”

“The Gus are always so cunning. I don’t think he will really confess everything honestly even though he has come. And you, don’t you want to look at your aunt?”

“Who would want to see that repulsive body?” Gu Ziling looked disgusted.

“You are already so ugly now. When you die, you may look worse than a burnt corpse.” Having said that, Mu Qiqi returned to the forensic laboratory.

In the interrogation room, the police officers were questioning Huo Cong.

“After the victim went missing, how many times did you meet her?”

“Just twice. The first time was in the restaurant. I b.u.mped into her after she had been missing for two years. I was so angry. so I looked into the place where she lived. For the second time, I went to her house. I wanted to ask her why she left. But then I discovered that she had a baby. We quarrelled. And in the end, I just left.” Huo Cong was very clever. He hid the key information. He did not tell them he had been close to raping his wife.

The police officers glanced at him and asked, “Just a quarrel?”

“Of course! We’re divorced and she even had a child. What else could I do? I am a public figure anyhow.”

“What time was it approximately when you got into the house? And what time did you leave?”

“I followed her after she got off work. So, it should have be about half past six in the evening. When I got out of the house, it was not yet half past seven,” Huo Cong answered.

“Then do you know the time of her death?”

“How would I know? It wasn’t me who killed her.” Huo Cong harrumphed.

“Half past eight at night.”

Huo Cong panicked. “It has nothing to do with me. I really didn’t kill her.”

“After you left, where did you go? Is there anyone who can testify to your alibi?”

“I went home, of course!” said Huo Cong. “I drove my own car. There should be CCTV installed in the neighborhood. You can check on that if you don’t believe me.”

“Why didn’t you tell the police about this when we came to you last time?”

“I didn’t kill anyone. It’s my freedom to not say it, isn’t it? I really hate the way the police handle crimes. Gu is a big and powerful name in Jianchuan. I don’t want to tarnish the reputation of the Gu family because of this case,” said Huo Cong.

“Then, you are saying that you did it for the sake of the reputation of the Gu family, right?”

“Of course. If the Gu family is caught up in a scandal, it will only bring harm to me. I don’t want to lose my wealth and glory.”

The policemen who were interrogating him had on a peculiar expression. “I’m afraid the police can not grant you this wish. The impact of this case on you will not simply go away even after you have come to make your statement.”

“What do you mean? Are you breaking your promise now? You promised me you would not publicize the case if I came to make a statement.

The other party banged the table and looked at Huo Cong. “The police will find out the truth no matter if you are innocent or not. Besides, you are still the prime suspect because the police have found the primary crime scene to be in the construction site of the Gu family. The murder happened there.”

Huo Cong’s eyes opened wide with shock.

“What?”

“You can go back now. The police will send an officer to follow you. Your only choice now is to cooperate with us if you want to clear your name. Don’t you want that?”

Huo Cong muttered something under his breath.

He was cursing the s.l.u.t for causing him such trouble after she died.

Later, Huo Cong walked out of the interrogation room. Gu Ziling quickly asked, “Have you explained the whole thing?”

“Ziling… The Gu family is in hot water.”

Gu Ziling was startled. She was confused. “What does it have to do with us?”

“The police have found the primary crime scene to be in the amus.e.m.e.nt park at the seaside.”

Gu Ziling took a few steps backward with shock. “What the h.e.l.l did the Gu family do wrong? Why must we get into trouble just because of you?”

“Ziling… I am innocent.”

Hearing their conversation, Mu Qiqi walked forward and said, “It’s simple. It’s because you, the Gu family, purposely tried to hide the truth which has complicated the matter. Had you cooperated earlier, the case might have been solved already. But you chose to stop the investigation instead. Even if you have your own considerations when you chose not to cooperate in the beginning, at this point, if I were you, I will publicly express my support and cooperation with the police. Otherwise, if things get ugly, it might become more serious than your father’s illness.”

“Mu Qiqi, if the Gu family publicized this, we will be done for! It’s not your family, of course, you will not feel the agony. Don’t mock us here. You wish for my family’s bankruptcy, don’t you?” Gu Ziling snapped.

“Whatever. The police will solve the case sooner or later.”

“I’m your second sister-in-law anyhow. Must you force me to the cliff?”

“Honestly, you don’t want to be my sister-in-law, right?” Mu Qiqi asked in return.

“Just because of the argument at the charity dinner you hold a grudge against me. You hated me for eyeing Sheng Xiao. That is why you keep bothering me.”

“You think too much. Even if Xiaoxiao lowers his standards, he will never like you.” Having said that, Mu Qiqi left the police station. Since the interrogation was over, she had to return to campus.

“Mu Qiqi, if the Gu family falls because of this, I will not let you go. I will do whatever it takes.”
