Chapter 526: You Have Made a Big Contribution, Qiqi

The Gu family had been trying to save the situation as much as possible. For instance, they publicly admitted to their faults and announced their willingness to cooperate with the police. Nevertheless, the amusement park project may no longer continue to be carried on. Therefore, they posted a notice to halt the construction of all the facilities. Not only that, they also asked the construction workers to not leave for the time being in order to ease the process of investigation.

Everyone knew how much money the Gu family had invested in this project. Now that the project was unable to be carried out because of a murder, it affected the interests of the shareholders. When this happened, it was unsure if Mama Gu could withstand the pressure from the members of Gu Corporation.

Seeing such a situation, Gu Ziling’s confidence dropped.

Recently, she simply stayed in her room. She was too lazy to see the Shengs even.

During dinner, Grandpa Sheng stared at the empty seat and asked Sheng Kai, “Is Ziling sick? Why doesn’t she come out for dinner?”

“She is very sad about what happened in her family. So, she can’t make herself come out to have dinner with you,” explained Sheng Kai.

“Sigh. This amusement park project may directly bring down the Gu family. I don’t allow her to go back to minimize its effect on her.”

“I’m sure she understands.”

“I’m not sure about Second Sister-in-law, but I know you don’t understand me.” Sheng Bowen took the chance to talk to Sheng Kai. “At this point, I really don’t understand why you still want to increase your investment in Tiffany & Co.. Are you betting on Huang Yao?”

“We’ve been discussing this issue for hours during the meeting and yet we’re still unable to reach an agreement. Now that we’re at home, you still want to argue with me? Third Brother, you should know that I am the decision maker.”

Sheng Bowen shrugged his shoulders.

“Second Brother, I don’t care what decision you make in the company, but you mustn’t try to fill the hole in the Gu family, understand?”

“Yes,” Sheng Kai quickly stated.

After that, Grandpa Sheng stood up and walked into his room, leaving only Sheng Kai, Sheng Bowen and a few others.

“Third Brother, no matter what happens to the Gu family, you are still not capable enough to threaten my position as the Crown Prince of Huang Yao. So, don’t try to create trouble in front of Grandpa.”

Sheng Bowen wanted to say something, but Hu Ran stopped him. “You will know when you suffer.”

“You two are always thinking about Huang Yao’s loss. Traitors.” After that, Sheng Kai got up from the chair and left the dining hall.

Sheng Bowen looked at Hu Ran and then at Sixth Brother who was eating silently. How he hoped he could be as free as him.

“Third Brother, I rarely come home for a meal. Don’t look at me like that.”

Sixth Brother obviously did not want to be part of the fight.

“Do you agree with Second Brother’s decision?”

“I think he has his reasons for that.” After Sixth Brother said that, he focused back on his meal.

Hu Ran nudged his arm to tell him not to be so serious. “You have reminded him a few times, but he still doesn’t take it seriously. He is just like Gu Ziling, so it can’t be helped. Gu Ziling is losing her support soon, so we shall see how Second Brother responds to this.”

“I wonder if Grandpa will keep or throw away a woman who has lost her power.”

…

Meanwhile, the criminal police team was very lively. After they found out the owner of the truck, they found the prime suspect of the case. They were in fact the victim’s best friend and her husband.

When they realized it was a two-person crime, the police brought the woman back to the police station to initiate the interrogation. They used all sorts of tactics to obtain pieces of information from her.

It was not until that man was arrested did the woman realize that the jig was up.

“This woman has an unusually sharp mind. If it weren’t for the arrest of the male murderer, she would still be able to trick the police. How cunning.”

“So, is everything clear now?” Mu Qiqi asked a member in the team.

“Yes, it is very clear now. The victim is really pitiful.”

Apparently, the victim’s best friend had always wanted a child. But because she had had too many abortions before, she could no longer conceive another. To satisfy her husband’s desire for a child, she targeted her best friend because she was familiar with her. She knew she escaped from a wealthy family. She knew she was alone.

Their plan worked. The victim got pregnant. But when the child was born, the victim discovered that the baby had the same birthmark as her best friend’s husband. So, she got suspicious and she confronted her best friend.

This vicious woman worried that the victim would report it to the police. So, she planned a murder with her husband.

With that, she stole the child and led the victim into the basement.

She threatened the victim using the child, so that the victim would not resist even when she was being tortured.

Poor victim. She thought that the vicious couple would let the child go and so she was tortured to death. But in the end, the child was not saved as well. How could the couple let him live and cause suspicion?

Soon, the couple made an excuse to transport the body out of the construction site under the guise of disposing construction waste. And finally, they dumped the dead body into the well and cleaned up the scene thoroughly to prevent the police from finding any hints.

“The plucked fingernails and eyes…”

“The nails might leave behind the evidence of the murderer. As for the eyes, it was because the vicious woman dared not look into the eyes of her best friend. She felt guilty and scared to look in them, so…” explained the police.

“The murderers are finally caught. You have made a great contribution, Qiqi.”

“But the case is not fully resolved yet, right?” Mu Qiqi asked.

The police looked at Mu Qiqi in disbelief. He smiled. “If it weren’t for your age, I would think that you have been working in the industry for many years. You’re so experienced.”

“That’s because the construction site of the Gu family is not a place that anyone can get into easily. There are so many workers there. It’s impossible for them not to be discovered.”

The police pointed at Mu Qiqi and praised her. “Clever girl! That skunk, Huo Cong, is not as innocent as he’s making himself out to be.”

“According to the murderers, they saw him when Huo Cong met his wife at the restaurant for the first time.”

“After that, the murderers met with Huo Cong and told him that the victim planned to use her identity as his ex-wife to blackmail him for money. They pretended to remind Huo Cong to be on alert around his ex-wife and they lied to him that the victim was a slut and that her personal life was a mess. How could Huo Cong, who has a bad temper, stand it? So, he immediately told the murderers that he would pay them to humiliate the victim. That’s what the murderers wanted, to make him an accomplice. So, they agreed to it under one condition, that Huo Cong had to provide the place. As Huo Cong thought they were only going to humiliate the victim, he let them use the basement in the amusement park. He never thought that they had actually wanted her dead since the beginning!”
