Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife-Novel2

Chapter 520: The Truth Is More Complicated Than You Think

Sheng Xiao did not tell Xiao Qi’er about Sheng Kai coming to see him. The life and death of the Gu family had nothing to do with Qi’er anyway.

The Sheng family thought that Qi’er was just grabbing the chance to annoy them. But he knew perfectly well that Mu Qiqi would do the same for anyone.

As expected, after class, she went to the forensic laboratory immediately to ask about the progress of the case.

“Professor, have they found the child’s biological father?”

The professor shook his head and said, “The truth is more complicated than you think. The victim never had a lover. After she ran away from her family, she lived alone and worked in a restaurant to make ends meet. The police had confirmed this with her colleagues. It’s her best friend who told the police that the child was born of rape. The victim was so terrified. How would she take the initiative to look for the child’s biological father?”

“Then did she offend someone before?”

“She was very gentle. She never offended anyone,” explained the professor, and he continued, “But from the wounds on her body, I’m sure the murderer must have a deep hatred toward her that he could be so cruel. It’s a shame that her ex-husband just wouldn’t cooperate.”

“Did the police find out why the scumbag met with the victim?”

“Nobody knows why the victim was killed after meeting her ex-husband. The key to unlocking the mystery still lies with that ex-husband.”

Mu Qiqi leaned on the edge of the metal table. She couldn’t help but say to the corpse, “If you really want us to seek justice for you, can you give us more information?”

The body had been cleaned up by the killer. Apart from her own, they could not find any hair strand, pieces of tissue, fiber for DNA sampling.

The iron nails...

Mu Qiqi stared at the iron nail for quite a while. Then, she said, “Professor, these headless iron nails are called hardboard pins, right?”

“Yes. Why?”

“Hardboard pins are normally used for hardwood fixing. People don’t normally have these nails at home.”

“I never expect that a rich young lady like you still knows about such nails.” The professor laughed. “That’s right. These are hardboard pins. And people rarely use these nails.”

“Can we use this clue as the direction of our investigation to find out who the victim had contact with before her death? Maybe we can find someone who can be related with these nails. Or maybe, we can investigate around the Gu family. We must find the primary crime scene as soon as possible.”

“The police have stepped up their investigation,” said the professor.

Mu Qiqi examined the body of the baby carefully once more. If the baby was thrown to death, he should still be alive before the mother dies. Would there be any other clues on his body?

“Professor...”

“Yes?” The professor quickly moved closer.

“The abrasion on the child’s heel shouldn’t be caused by the fall, right? Look at the positions of his wounds. Taking into consideration how he was thrown into the well, his head should touch the ground first and he should be lying on the stomach. Then the wounds on his heels must not be caused by the fall. There is lime powder in the wounds.”

The professor quickly grabbed the tweezers to collect the material for sampling.

“The baby must have been placed in somewhere very dirty and messy. Qiqi, you might have found a great discovery. This is very helpful in looking for the primary crime scene.”

Although the truth was still unknown and they had no idea what happened between the victim and that scumbag before she died, Mu Qiqi instinct told her that the scum of the Gu family must have something to do with the case.

...

It was raining heavily at night.

Sheng Kai and Gu Ziling were on their way to the Gu family. The situation in the Gu family now was very worrying.

“I met with Sheng Xiao this morning. He did not want to help. Instead, he thought that the Gu family should cooperate with the investigation.”

After she heard Sheng Kai’s words, Gu Ziling sneered. “It is not Zhongteng which is encountering such a problem, of course he would not feel anything when he said that.”

“I can only let the lawyer try to stop the investigation for now. There is no other way.” Sheng Kai comforted her.

“I know you have done your best. Sheng Xiao is not someone who will listen to you anyway.” Gu Ziling showed her understanding.

They soon arrived at Gu Mansion. Meanwhile, Mama Gu and Gu Ziling’s uncle were sitting in the living room, devastated.

“Ziling, I really have no idea what to do now. With your father’s condition now, we must get someone to stabilize the company. But your brother is just seventeen. He is still at a playful age. He can’t help at all.”

“You have me right here.” Gu Ziling’s uncle suggested. “Is there anyone more suitable than me now?”

“You should just focus on clearing your name from the murder now.” Gu Ziling said coldly to her uncle. “Mommy, why don’t you go? I have too few shares. The shareholders will not approve me joining the board of directors.”

“How can I manage the company when your father is still in this state?”

“You should be ashamed when you say that, Ziling. I always treat you nicely. But now I have trouble, why don’t you help me? You wouldn’t want this matter to be spread all over the city, right?”

“Mommy, you should ask all the family members to come and recommend someone to take over. There are so many people in the family. There must be someone you can trust.”

Mama Gu waved her hand. “I’m very tired and I can’t think about anything. The Gu family is having so much trouble now. I really don’t know what I should do.”

“If you don’t mind, Mother-in-law, I can send someone from Huang Yao to help. At least, we can stop people from eyeing the company all the time.”

Mama Gu glanced at Sheng Kai and shook her head. “I appreciate your kindness. But you are already very busy in Huang Yao. You shouldn’t work so hard for the Gu family. I can still handle it for a bit longer, but I can’t bear more bad news.”

“So, Uncle. What really happened between you and that woman? Is there any secret that we don’t know about?” Gu Ziling questioned her uncle.

The man with a big round beer belly did not want to admit it at first. But he knew he could no longer hide it. So, he confessed. “It’s just that I bumped into her in a restaurant some days ago. The slut was living such a good life. Of course, it made me angry. So, I humiliated her. It’s her who made me live in misery these two years anyway.”

“Nothing else?”

“After that, I found where she lived and visited her once. Then I discovered that the slut had a baby!”

“And then?”

The man stroked his head then shook it. “Well, I just... I just wanted to force her to have sex with me. But I failed. And then, I left her house.”

“Is that really all?”

The man nodded. “Do you think I have the guts to kill people? I really don’t know how she died in a well and I don’t know why the police keep coming to me as if I am the killer. I am innocent, really!”historical
