Chapter 965: Why Don’t You Trying Being Pregnant?

That night, Mu Qiqi lay in bed, but she could not fall asleep. Even when she was asleep, she was still mumbling something. No one knew what she was saying.

Sheng Xiao woke up in the middle of the night. When he heard her crying, he quickly turned on the wall lamp and shook her awake.

Mu Qiqi woke up with a start. There were still tears on the corner of her eyes.

“Did you have a nightmare?” Sheng Xiao’s voice was gentle and low.

“I’m fine.” Mu Qiqi shook her head and wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes. “Maybe the child in my stomach kicked me.”

Sheng Xiao sat up and held Mu Qiqi in his arms. He rubbed her head and said, “You need to do a better job at hiding the truth. Tell me, what happened?”

Mu Qiqi could not help but sob. “I dreamt that I was dissecting Lou Zhao. After the autopsy, I realized that you were the one lying on the autopsy table. Xiao Xiao, can you not go? I’m really scared. Can you not go?”

After Sheng Xiao heard her, he hugged her tighter and let her vent. “I’m guilty of making a pregnant woman cry. However, you’re so generous with your words. Why didn’t you stop me from going in the first place? Hmm?”

“Are my words of any use?” Mu Qiqi raised her head and asked, sobbing.

“Of course, I won’t listen to anyone else’s words. I’m Sheng Xiao, but I naturally have to listen to your words because you’re Sheng Xiao’s woman.” Sheng Xiao hugged Mu Qiqi and patted her back gently. “Calling you an idiot seems to suit the occasion now.”

“So, you’re not going?”

“No,” Sheng Xiao answered. Seeing Mu Qiqi’s sad look just now, Sheng Xiao’s heart ached. He could do anything, but he couldn’t see the little thing sad.

“What about Feng Qiang?”

“Don’t take advantage and play nice.” Sheng Xiao hid her hand under the blanket and leaned over to kiss her forehead. “I’ll send someone else. Feng Qiang will think of another way.”

“You’re really not going? Don’t tell me you’re just going to wait for me to fall asleep before you leave.”

Sheng Xiao laughed when he heard this. “Do you really feel so insecure?”

“Why don’t you try being pregnant?” Mu Qiqi regained some of her energy. “I know Feng Qiang isn’t easy to deal with, but I also believe in Captain Tang’s ability. I think you should try to believe in Captain Tang as well. He’ll find Feng Qiang’s whereabouts. Do you believe that?”

“Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. Can we go to sleep now?” Sheng Xiao looked at the time. It was only four in the morning. Even if he wanted to inform Tang Yan that there was a change in plans, he would have to wait until dawn tomorrow, wouldn’t he?

“You’re a man of your word!”

“When am I not?” Sheng Xiao asked Mu Qiqi back.

Mu Qiqi pouted and thought about it carefully for a moment before she finally obediently lay down. She couldn’t be blamed for being willful. Pregnant women’s emotions were very fragile to begin with. She also wanted to be Xiao Xiao’s backup, but she really felt that Sheng Xiao did not have to go on this trip.

While the husband and wife were lying down to rest, Tang Yan had already been on police duty for an hour.

This was because the body of the sanitation worker had been discovered and reported to the police. There were even people who claimed that they had a lead on Feng Qiang, and that was the foreman of the workers.

It was a cold day and it was shrouded in thick fog. The visibility was less than fifty meters.

Tang Yan and the other two criminal police officers saw the body in the rented house of the sanitation worker and they spoke to the foreman to understand what happened.

“Officer, the one who died was one of my workers called Fan Linsheng. Usually, he was in charge of cleaning the area around Zhangping Road. But today, someone reported to me that Fan Linsheng was not at his post and that the person cleaning on Zhangping Road was a stranger. I quickly went to take a look, and only then did I realize that the person was actually a fugitive. Fortunately, I was vigilant and did not go up to call him. If I angered him, I would lose my life.

“In order to find the real Fan Linsheng, I quickly went to his residence. I kicked open the door and found him in a water tank. I was so scared that I immediately called the police.”

“Captain Tang, Zhongteng is nearby,” the police officer who was assisting Tang Yan said. “Feng Qiang is probably trying to get information about President Sheng and is waiting for an opportunity to strike.”

“That’s very reasonable. It’ll be easy to deal with him if he shows up. I’m just afraid that he won’t.” Tang Yan looked gloomy. Yet another innocent life. Thinking of this, Tang Yan continued questioning the foreman. “After that, did you pay attention to the whereabouts of the wanted criminal?”

“I saw him heading north. I also have acquaintances in that area. If you want to investigate, I can help. That area is the slums. The social relationships in the surrounding area are complicated. However, there are two acquaintances who can be talked to who are in the vicinity.”

Tang Yan looked at the cleaner’s body and quickly said to one of his subordinates, “Call the medical examiner to deal with it. I’ll go there.”

“Okay, Captain Tang.”

“This Feng Qiang, how many more people does he want to harm?” After saying this, Tang Yan did not care about his fatigue. He quickly led his men and followed the foreman to the slums.

That area was indeed the most complicated area at the edge of Jianchuan. It was difficult to control things around there. Therefore, it would indeed be a good choice for Feng Qiang to hide here.

The foreman brought Tang Yan and the others into a billiard hall.

Even in the early morning, there were many young people hanging out here.

“Brother Cheng, I want to ask you something.” The foreman walked up and said to the boss of the shop, “You have a lot of connections. Can you ask the neighbors to pay attention to this person? He just killed one of my workers and is a wanted criminal.” The foreman handed over the photo.

Brother Cheng was a big man, tall and strong. He had a cigarette in his mouth, and it was obvious that he was not someone to be trifled with. However, he spoke with a sense of loyalty. “I hate those cowards who are good-for-nothings. They can come and kill me if they have the ability.”

“If you have any news about him, give us a call.” Tang Yan picked up the pen and paper on the counter, wrote down his phone number, and handed it to the owner of the pool hall.

“This kind of person, even if he’s not after money, don’t let me see him.”

Feng Qiang was an outlaw, and now he wanted revenge, so he definitely will come out and do something.

“Okay, that’s it for today. I’ll wait for your good news.”

“Take care, Officer.” Brother Cheng put away the note that Tang Yan handed over as he spoke to Tang Yan and his subordinate.

And it was the word “Officer” that made Tang Yan… frown.

But he didn’t show it.

Soon, they left the billiard hall. Tang Yan said to the foreman, “Thank you for your hard work today.”

“No problem, Officer.”

After leaving the slums, Tang Yan entered his off-road vehicle, but he didn’t drive away immediately. Instead, he said to his subordinate, “Find the highest hotel nearby and stay there.”

“Captain Tang, do you have any doubts?”

“Brother Cheng seemed to know who we were the moment we came. So, when the foreman talked to him, he didn’t express his doubts about our identities. After I handed him the note, do you still remember how he addressed me?”

His subordinate suddenly realized that maybe Brother Cheng had a lot to do with Feng Qiang.
