Why Did You Provoke Her? She Can Tell Fortunes!-Chapter 129 - 102: Are You Interested in Our Forensic Doctor Wen?
All of this happened too suddenly.
The person who was standing just fine a second ago fell into a pool of blood the next.
Moreover, the attacker had no intention of leaving; it was as if he was venting his anger, stabbing again and again, until Gong Hong completely lost his breath, without stopping his actions.
At this moment, in Zhu Ping’s eyes, Gong Hong represented the hope for his daughter’s survival.
When he saw Gong Hong being stabbed, he was more anxious than anyone else.
His eyes widened, and after just a few seconds of being stunned, he rushed forward without care. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
"Ahhh!"
Unclear words burst from his throat.
But it was already too late.
The attacker’s thrusts were fatal, giving no chance of survival.
With Gong Hong’s death, Zhu Ping fell to his knees powerlessly.
All of this seemed a bit too coincidental.
They were just about to investigate the Gu Worm through Gong Hong, and then he was stabbed to death right in front of them.
Mu Yunchu frowned as she watched him, her expression becoming even more inexplicable.
It’s worth mentioning that the one handling this case was actually an old acquaintance of hers.
The dead man lay on the ground, the murderer sat beside him, and the eyewitness who called in the report waited nearby. In Hu Chi’s not-so-short police career, this was a rare scene.
A few people existing peacefully to the point it didn’t look like a murder had just occurred here.
Hu Chi’s gaze scanned each of their faces, then landed on Mu Yunchu. His eyes lit up, and after arranging the scene, he eagerly walked over.
"Master Mu, why are you here!"
She didn’t answer him. He looked toward the crime scene beside them, "So, the eyewitness who reported the crime was you."
Mu Yunchu wasn’t familiar with him, so they didn’t have much to talk about.
But Hu Chi appeared to be naturally sociable. Furthermore, he seldom had the chance to see Mu Yunchu, so he couldn’t help but say a few more words.
He even ignored Li Shang and Zhu Ping.
All of his questions were directed at Mu Yunchu.
While answering concisely, Mu Yunchu’s gaze followed the actions of Wen Xu, who was examining the corpse on the scene.
It would be better to say she was observing his actions and expressions rather than looking at him.
This reaction caught Hu Chi’s eye.
Not having much to talk about but wanting to find a topic, he seemed to have discovered something.
His tone carried a hint of gossip.
"Master Mu, are you interested in our Medical Examiner Wen?"
After all, it wasn’t the first time he’d seen girls interested in Wen Xu.
Especially those young unmarried girls in their police station, who always brightened up and blushed when talking about Wen Xu.
Hu Chi was already used to it.
So when he saw Mu Yunchu staring intently at Wen Xu, he thought she was interested in the man as well.
Mu Yunchu didn’t answer immediately upon hearing his question.
Interested?
She was indeed interested in the corpse he was about to dissect now.
The answer to Hu Chi’s question should be ’yes’ then.
So she nodded slightly.
Hu Chi immediately raised his volume in excitement.
When he realized he was being inappropriate, he quickly covered his mouth.
Oh my god!
What has he discovered!
Someone like Mu Yunchu, who seemed emotionless and loveless, was actually interested in the opposite sex.
"So, you really... are interested in our Medical Examiner Wen."
Although his volume decreased, Wen Xu still overheard it.
When he got up, he almost stumbled over his own feet and tripped.
No one noticed, but he inexplicably felt his cheeks heat up.
It, of course, also had to do with the gaze that had been following him continuously.
An invisible pressure was there.
Even the usual work routine suddenly felt a bit more burdensome.
When Wen Xu’s work temporarily ended, he stood, and their gazes met in the air. Mu Yunchu hadn’t looked away.
Wen Xu uncharacteristically felt a bit uncomfortable but forced himself to look back.
That gaze was filled with frankness.
Without the slightest hint of romantic distractions between a man and a woman.
Wen Xu even had the illusion that when she looked at him, it wasn’t as if she was looking at a man, nor even at a person...
This case couldn’t have been clearer. But according to protocol, he still needed to take the person back for further examination.
Just as Hu Chi was about to pack up and bid Mu Yunchu farewell, she suddenly asked, "Is your captain okay?"
Hu Chi: ???
He didn’t understand the reason for her sudden question.
So he didn’t know how to respond either.
He blinked, "Okay... or not okay?"
His first encounter with Mu Yunchu was because of fortune-telling. He had also watched several of her live broadcasts and knew her style well.
Generally speaking, when she suddenly asked about someone, it usually meant trouble was coming for that person!
So when Mu Yunchu indicated she was going to see Zhou Zhicheng, Hu Chi didn’t dare delay for a moment and directly dragged her to the police station.
Doomed, according to common tropes, his Captain Zhou must be in big trouble!
He floored the gas pedal, afraid his slow driving would delay Zhou Zhicheng’s matters.
When he parked and ran to the captain’s office without stopping, he exaggeratedly narrated the whole situation.
With a "thud," the file in Zhou Zhicheng’s hands fell to the ground.
If someone could take a photo of him now, they’d capture how marvelous his expression was at this moment.
After a few seconds, he still feigned calmness.
"I think... it shouldn’t be for that reason."
But his steps didn’t slow down. Instead, he accelerated towards the door.
The result was... not a single person in sight at the door.
There was no sign of Mu Yunchu at all.
He blinked quickly a few times and looked towards Hu Chi next to him, "Where’s she?"
Where did the person go?
Puzzled, Hu Chi scratched his head, "No, she was here just now..."
What he didn’t know was that just after he got out of the car, Mu Yunchu followed Wen Xu and left.
Wen Xu glanced back over his shoulder, showing a "so that’s how it is" expression.
He asked first, "Are you doubtful about his death?"
The "he," of course, referred to Gong Hong.
He assumed that Mu Yunchu was following him because Gong Hong’s death might not be that simple.
However, he saw Mu Yunchu shake her head.
"No, there’s no problem with his death."
It was exactly as they had seen; he was stabbed several times by that man who suddenly rushed out and died from excessive blood loss.
"Then you..." Wen Xu stopped in his tracks, turned to face her, with one hand in his lab coat pocket and the other resting on the doorknob with no intention of opening it.
The two had already reached the door of the dissection room, and according to rules, someone like Mu Yunchu, who wasn’t even a police officer, was definitely not allowed inside.
