Chapter 333 - Then I Will Wash You a Few More Times

Mu Qiqi was just a freshman. When she went to the crime scene with her seniors, she certainly seemed to be the least qualified one to be there.

They followed the criminal investigation team’s forensic doctor to the crime scene. Mu Qiqi could already smell the stench of the rotting corpse from afar.

It was in the winter now. Jianchuan was not as cold as some places. But if the corpses could emit such a smell, then they must have died a long time ago.

The seniors covered their mouths in shock when they smelt the corpse. But Mu Qiqi looked very calm.

The tutors were in front of them. After studying the three corpses, he asked, “Looking at the scene, do you see any valuable clues?”

The corpses were in the bushes. There were two men lying on their sides. And there was a woman. Half of her body was soaked in the water and her lower body was stuck in the mud on the shore.

The seniors studied the scene carefully. Then, they took a few steps back without any clues.

After all, it was their first time witnessing such a horrible scene.

But Mu Qiqi kept on observing the scene. But she did not dare to move around, fearing she might destroy some important clues.

“What about you, Qiqi?”

“Sir, she is just a freshman, what would she know? Besides, she is a pampered rich lady.” Some seniors began to mock her.

There was a distance between them and the corpses. So, Mu Qiqi could only see the woman’s corpse.

“Although the woman’s face was facing upward now, I think she was drowned by someone. Look at her thighs, they were crossed. This happened probably because of the flowing water that her corpse’s position has changed.”

“Why wasn’t her body swept away by the current?”

“She was probably kneeling at that time. Because her knees and thighs are deep in the mud.”

The tutor nodded. “If you can get near the woman’s corpse, can you roughly determine the time of her death?”

“There are many ways to determine the time of death. We have to conduct an autopsy to determine that. Sir, looking at the corpse from a near distance cannot help us to get accurate information.”

The tutor nodded once more. He suddenly felt that Mu Qiqi was born to be a forensic doctor.

“Is this your first time?”

“Yes.” Mu Qiqi nodded.

“Why didn’t you vomit?”

“It doesn’t seem too disgusting to me.” Because she respected the deceased. And when she thought about her mother’s burnt body when she died, she did not think it was very terrifying.

“I will bring you out more often in the future. The tutor thought that she had a lot of potential. “Today, I bring you here to let you learn the procedures of the forensic doctors doing their work. We shall talk about the rest next time. If you get the chance, do you want to go to the coroner’s office?”

“Of course.”

“We’ll pass this time.” The seniors could not bear it. It was a case too big for them as their first fieldwork.

“Then, Qiqi, you will come with me.”

“Okay.” Mu Qiqi nodded.

Once there, Mu Qiqi stayed until seven o’clock in the evening. When she looked at the time, she thought it was very late already, so she took out her phone. Right at that time, Sheng Xiao called her. “Little one, can’t you walk after looking at a corpse? You have even forgotten to come home.”

“I’ll go home now.”

“I’m just outside the office of the criminal investigation unit. You can come out now.” And Sheng Xiao hung up.

Mu Qiqi smelled her body to check if there were any strange odors.

Seeing Sheng Xiao waiting outside, she ran to him, smiling. But Sheng Xiao’s nose was very sensitive. “Now you have really become a stinky little one.”

“I don’t smell it…”

“Go back and take a shower.” Sheng Xiao ordered and brought Mu Qiqi back to Jing Ting. Before Mu Qiqi could say anything, he carried her upstairs and put her into the bathtub.

“Can you still bear it? If you can’t…”

“I am the only one who did not throw up today. Xiaoxiao, I don’t know why. But when I went to the crime scene, I just wanted to decipher the secrets left behind by the victims and find out the murderers. So, I didn’t even notice the smell.”

Sheng Xiao who was washing Mu Qiqi’s hair pinched her nose. “It seems like I have underestimated you. Sheng Xiao’s woman ought to be special.”

“You will have a lot of chances to smell this in the future!”

“It can’t be helped. Then I will wash you a few more times.”

In reality, how many people avoided a forensic doctor. If this was true for the ordinary people, then what’s more the crown prince of Huang Yao.

However, Sheng Xiao had never looked down on anyone’s profession. This was also one of the reasons Mu Qiqi loved him. This was his charm. Not everyone could be like him.

“Then… Grandpa will not want to see me even more after this.”

“You will spend your life with me. What does it have to do with him?”

“Won’t you be traumatized?”

To many people, seeing a forensic doctor would make them think of those dismembered corpses.

“Silly thing, you have grown up.”

Thinking back, Mu Qiqi was a cowardly girl who feared the Mu family. Now, she was not even afraid to look at corpses.

She had indeed made a great improvement.

Old Sheng had no time to think about Mu Qiqi’s repulsive career now. Because he was working hard to reach an agreement with the Gu family.

After all, Sheng Xiao had a fiancée now. It was not easy to make the Gu family be willing to accept this.

If they agreed, he would find a chance to invite Miss Gu to Sheng Mansion. He would tell the Shengs that she was the daughter of his old friend. Then, he would let her familiarize herself with the Sheng family, Huang Yao, and Sheng Xiao.

When the time was right, he would let Sheng Xiao dump Mu Qiqi and get married to Miss Gu.

But it still depended on Miss Gu for the plan to work. He was still unsure if Miss Gu was interested in Sheng Xiao!

If it worked, then he would bring her back to Sheng Mansion at his birthday banquet in March.

Of course, he would not announce Miss Gu’s identity by then. But he would let Mu Qiqi know that she had a strong opponent.

…

At eight o’clock, in Lin Mu’an’s studio.

Currently, the Lin family had announced that they had cut ties with Lin Mu’an. So, many people who approached him because of his background were now making fun of him.

Moreover, when Lin Mu’an told his manager that he wanted to change his pen name and completely stop using his real name, his manager thought that he had gone crazy.

“You know how it works in the market. But you are telling me that you don’t want to use Lin Mu’an as your pen name already, then your hard work for so many years will be wasted. Not only that, you will have to start over. Do you know how hard it is going to be?”

“I am not afraid.”

“Lin Mu’an, get real. Is it worth it just for a woman?”

In fact, Lu Qianqian was standing at the door of his studio. She felt terrible when she overheard their conversation.

“Do you think I will not succeed without the Lin family?”

“Isn’t that the reality?”

“I gained my fame without the help of the Lin family before,” refuted Lin Mu’an, “I have the ability. But I won’t force you if you do not believe in me.”

“Just for Lu Qianqian, right?”
