Sheng Xiao hugged Mu Qiqi with one arm and he drank his tea with another elegantly. “It is not difficult at all. If they don’t cooperate, you can just make the case public and let society put pressure on them.”
“But once it is publicized, the murderer will be alerted.”
“The public opinion is a double-edged sword. It depends on how you use it.”
At least, it was more efficient than her persuading the Gu family.
Mu Qiqi thought she could suggest this to the professor next morning.
“Why is the Gu family so unlucky lately? Papa Gu’s condition is bad now and then this happened.”
Since Mu Qiqi learned about medicine, she knew it was almost impossible for a person to be fully recovered after he experienced a mental breakdown. He would have to depend on medication to maintain his mental health for a lifetime. Even so, there was still a possibility of relapse. Although Gu Ziling did not dare say anything and made her father face the public from time to time, she would have to face the consequences of her evil deeds with her mother one day.
“Her bad luck has nothing to do with you. You should wash yourself now. You stink.”
Mu Qiqi nodded and got out of Sheng Xiao’s arms. Speaking of this, this man had never complained about her bad scent although she even hated the smell herself sometimes. But this man kissed and hugged her whenever he felt like doing it.
Now, she would just wait for the result from the police. She wanted to know if the Gu family had got something to do with the deceased.
It was impossible for Gu Ziling not knowing about the big case that had happened. And of course, she had to pretend not to know it when she was in Sheng Mansion.
Once the scandal was exposed, the public would definitely laugh at the Gu family. She felt that her uncle was just too unlucky to marry a slut. And it got worse when she died outside.
More importantly, when her mother called her that morning, she told her Mu Qiqi was the assistant in the very forensic laboratory working on the case.
The Gu family did all sorts to suppress the news from spreading. But with Mu Qiqi’s involvement, they would be unable to hide it any longer. That slut was just so free to meddle with other people’s matters. In order to get the support from the Sheng family, Gu Ziling told Grandpa Sheng the case first thing in the morning when they had their breakfast.
“My uncle nearly killed himself when his wife ran away. And when things only started to get better, that woman died outside. Moreover, the forensic doctors are forcing my uncle now to agree on the autopsy.”
“Second Sister-in-law, it’s a human life. It is their job to dispute the cause of the death of the deceased. They had to know if the deceased was killed or she killed herself. Since your uncle has a relationship with her, of course the police will have to approach your uncle. I think the Gu family should cooperate in the investigation. You should conform to the development of the case.” Hu Ran laughed coldly after knowing her motive.
“Your family has never encountered such things. Of course, you will not be anxious.”
“I was sick for the last two years. Didn’t my father get the same respect from other people?” Hu Ran asked her in return. “Besides, if the case is exposed after the Gu family tried so hard to conceal it, lie about it and not cooperate in the investigation, how will you explain yourself? Oh yeah, it’s not directly related to the Gu family anyway. It’s just related to your relative, right?”
“It’s the personal matter of the Gu family. I don’t think the Sheng family can decide for you.” Grandpa Sheng did not want to listen to their argument anymore.
“The most hateful thing is that Mu Qiqi is involved in the case. She is currently working in the forensic laboratory.”
Gu Ziling had finally made her point clear.
Mu Qiqi was involved in the case.
“Then the Gu family should be more careful about it.” Hu Ran reminded Gu Ziling very kindly.
Gu Ziling realized that no one was even bothered to respond to her after wasting so much effort to get the support from the Sheng family. It was only after breakfast that Grandpa Sheng said, “Anyway, if you need help, you can go to Second Brother.”
How could she approach Sheng Kai at the moment? Grandpa Sheng was clearly trying to get away with the trouble.
“Grandpa, don’t you think Mu Qiqi will use this to bring shame to the Sheng family?”
“This case has got nothing to do with us. It is unlikely.” Grandpa Sheng was very clear about this.
After an overnight investigation, the police discovered that Gu Ziling’s uncle had filed a divorce in court just recently. And the court had already granted the divorce decree. So, the case was no longer directly related to Gu Ziling’s uncle. At the very least, the forensic doctors did not have to get his consent anymore if they wanted to do the autopsy.
“Apart from the divorce, we also found other things.”
“The ex-husband of the victim is simply a scum. He is the typical type of playboy from a rich family, a big spender. Because of his high debts and the lack of support from his family, he placed his wife, who was pregnant, as the guarantor of his debts. The victim lost her child because of that and she cried all days at home. But then, the scum still could not sit still and started messing around outside. He literally forced his wife to leave him.”
“What rubbish! He’s just wasting oxygen when he is alive. And when he dies, he will waste the space in the ground.”
“Since the victim is not related to the Gu family anymore, what about her family?” The professor asked the investigation team.
“She had a mother who was from an educated family. Sadly, after the victim ran away, she was often bullied by the Gu family. She eventually died from depression.”
“So that means we can arrange for the autopsy already.” The professor said to Mu Qiqi and Feng Shanshan after grasping the situation. “Get prepared now.”
“But the authorities haven’t approved it yet.”
“What we do is in compliance with the regulations. We don’t have to fear anyone.” Having said that, the professor followed Mu Qiqi and Feng Shanshan to the forensic laboratory.
When they opened her abdomen, her organs spilled everything.
“She did not have a spleen. So that means she had suffered from related diseases or had been seriously injured before that caused the removal of her spleen. That’s why her immunity and resistance were low.”
“Look what’s in her stomach…”
When the professor cut it open, Mu Qiqi and Feng Shanshan was shocked.
“Nails… it must be very painful!”
“How cruel!”
“Her body was full of wounds. The true cause of her death should be this. Peritonitis caused by gastrointestinal perforation. I have to conduct further tests to verify this.”
Mu Qiqi and Feng Shanshan took a deep breath. After seeing many cases while working with the professor for so long, it was the first time they witnessed such complicated and ruthless murder. This further showed that the possibility of revenge killing was the greatest.”
“The Gu family should get the news soon. Qiqi, please keep them off by then.” The professor ordered Mu Qiqi.
“Don’t worry. As long as we follow the regulations, I will be able to keep them quiet.” Mu Qiqi assured the professor.
Not to mention that the Gu family came, even if Gu Ziling came, it would be the same.
“Luckily you’re here, so we’ll have less trouble.”
