"When was the last time you saw your daughter?"
"Last Christmas, " Papa Bai replied.
"So you don't know anything about your daughter?"
Papa Bai's eyes were red as he shook his head."I'm a derelict father. I really want to... strangle myself to death. Why didn't I bring my daughter to me?"
After Old Cheng Ye interrogated Papa Bai, he still had no results. Looked like they had no choice but to go to Mama Bai.
..
The next day, Mu Qiqi went to the branch office to check on the progress. After hearing about Papa Bai's interrogation results, she was also very disappointed. Although she had mentally prepared herself, Papa Bai had nothing to do with this matter in the first place.
"Qiqi, Captain said that he still hopes you can make the trip, but he seems to have some concerns, " Old Cheng said to Mu Qiqi.
Mu Qiqi rolled her eyes. Of course, there had to be some concerns when she was asked to go out of the city to investigate a case.
The Great Buddha at home would not agree to it.
However...
"Senior Brother Cheng, if you can promise to send me home before 6 p. m. , I can make the trip with you."
"There's no problem with me. I'll make the arrangements after Captain Tang arrives." Old Cheng did not dare to agree casually. After all, Mu Qiqi was no ordinary person. If anything happened to her, her family would definitely skin his entire family alive.
This was not a responsibility he could bear.
Tang Yan brought Feng Shanshan to the Civil Affairs Bureau at nine in the morning to register for their marriage certificate. Then, he sent her to Professor Tang's home.
At ten in the morning, he returned to the branch office with the marriage certificate. At that moment, everyone was a mess.
"Captain Tang, that trip to J City is unavoidable. What do you think of the arrangements?" Old Cheng went up to tell Tang Yan. After all, if he couldn't produce any evidence, the pressure from the bureau chief and public opinion would be fierce.
Tang Yan looked at Mu Qiqi and struggled in his heart. Then, he walked to Mu Qiqi and said to her, "If I don't come back tonight, please take care of Shanshan..."
"Are you sure?" Mu Qiqi tugged at the corner of Tang Yan's shirt and asked, "How about this? Wait for me. I'll call Xiao Xiao first."
Tang Yan nodded as Mu Qiqi took her phone and went to the side.
Mu Qiqi's heart was pounding because she knew that in Jianchuan City, no matter how much trouble she caused, Sheng Xiao would always have a way to keep her safe. However, if she went to another city, it might not be the case. And what Sheng Xiao hated the most was having her out of his sight.
Mu Qiqi dialed Sheng Xiao's number.
"Xiao Xiao... about that..."
"If you have something to say, say it." From her stuttering tone, Sheng Xiao knew that nothing good was coming.
"There's an important suspect in J City, but she's too sick to come over, so the police can only go over..." Mu Qiqi said, clearly feeling a little insecure.
"You want to go?" Sheng Xiao directly said what Mu Qiqi was thinking.
"I'm here to ask for your opinion, right? If you think it's dangerous and you don't want me to go, then I..."
"Then you won't go?" Sheng Xiao scoffed."Set off as usual and wait for Xu Che at the toll booth. He'll come and pick you up."
"But if Xu Che is with me, what are you going to do?"
"I'll be at the office the whole day. I don't need him." Sheng Xiao hung up right after he said that. He then put down the contract, turned around, and told his secretary, "Let Xu Che in."
No matter what, Mu Qiqi easily got Sheng Xiao's approval. This made Mu Qiqi uncomfortable.
However, she did not know that Sheng Xiao was using this strategy to make Mu Qiqi feel guilty. This way, she would naturally care more about her own safety and would not act rashly.
In fact, in general, she was obedient.
She rarely caused trouble for him.
Therefore, no matter what, he did not want to be the cage that imprisoned her wings.
A moment later, Mu Qiqi returned to the crowd and said to Tang Yan, "Xu Che will follow me, so Captain Tang, you should stay behind to guard Jianchuan. If there are any clues in J City, Senior Brother Cheng and I will report them to you in a timely manner."
"I trust you." Tang Yan patted Mu Qiqi's shoulder."I'll wait for your news. Come back as soon as possible."
Mu Qiqi nodded and then got into the police car with Old Cheng.
There were four of them. Besides Old Cheng, there were two other rookies.
Soon, the four of them left the city. Xu Che waited at the exit of Jianchuan on Sheng Xiao's order.
Mu Qiqi got into her family's car and the group quickly headed toward J City.
In fact, apart from protecting Mu Qiqi, Xu Che also had another mission. If Mu Qiqi was still not sure if she could go home before five in the afternoon, Xu Che would immediately give Sheng Xiao a signal.
Since he could not ensure that Mu Qiqi would obediently stay by his side at all times, he could only move himself and let Mu Qiqi continue to stay within his line of sight.
Call him pretentious if you must.
He would watch over his own woman.
One can never expect an accident happening.
After a three-hour drive, Mu Qiqi and the others arrived at the entrance of the hospital where Mama Bai was staying. They expressed their intention to the hospital and successfully received Mama Bai's medical records and information about her admission.
"This lady has a bad temper. You must be careful when you ask, officers, " the nurse kindly reminded them before they entered the ward.
"Then, Miss Nurse, who takes care of this lady?" Mu Qiqi could not help but want to know more about Mama Bai and see if there was any trace of the murderer.
"Not long after she became paralyzed, she hired a nurse. She is very fierce."
"Can you give us the contact information of that nurse?"
"No problem."The nurse nodded and took out her phone from her pocket."I can only contact the company where the nurse works. The rest is up to you."
"Thank you, Miss Nurse."
The nurse smiled and walked away, Mu Qiqi then said to senior brother Cheng, "In Bai Xinyi's suicide note, it was stated that it was because her family was broken and that she had been living under a mask, and how tiring it was. If this suicide note was forged, then the murderer must be very familiar with Bai Xinyi's family background."
"Let's go and see this tough lady." After Senior Brother Cheng said that, he knocked on the door of the ward.
"Who is it? Come in." A rough voice came from the room.
Mu Qiqi and Senior Brother Cheng went in. Then, they saw a middle-aged woman in her early fifties lying on the bed. She looked miserable.
"Who are you?"
Old Cheng immediately took out his documents and said to her, "We are the police. I believe you already know about your daughter's suicide?"
Mama Bai was stunned for a moment before sneering impatiently."So that worthless piece of trash actually died!"
