Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife

“I know. If I feel cold, I will strip off a jacket from a policeman and wear it.” Mu Qiqi ended the call in a hurry.

She had said it before that Sheng Xiao always came first in everything.

However, if Sheng Xiao could hide it from her since morning, it meant that it was not a very urgent thing. Besides, Sheng Xiao was the one who knew her best. If there was anything he needed her to do, he would tell her frankly.

Soon, the duo arrived at the police station. Right then, the seniors in the criminal investigation team were also about to depart.

When the professor saw them, he said, “Tang Yan is driving today. You two take his car.”

After listening to the professor’s arrangement, Mu Qiqi glanced at Feng Shanshan. She was relieved when she saw no changes on Feng Shanshan’s face. Feng Shanshan was someone who could keep work and personal life separate.

The team moved fast. But unfortunately, as the weather was very bad, Tang Yan was not able to speed up even when he was driving his car.

“It always rains in the winter.” The senior in the forensics team felt helpless. “I can almost feel mold growing on my body.”

Tang Yan looked at Feng Shanshan through his rear-view mirror. However, Feng Shanshan seemed absent-minded.

“Rain is really the enemy of the police. Once it rains, the evidence will be washed away,” Mu Qiqi said.

Half an hour later, the team finally made it to the woods in the suburbs. This was not the crime scene. This was just the location where they found some parts of the body.

“We’ll have to work together with the forensics team to find the rest of the body parts. There are many wild animals on this hill and some of the policemen could not tell the human organs and the animal organs apart. So, your workload will be heavier. Please bear with it.”

“Let’s do it this way. The professor will lead a team, Doctor Gao and Doctor Qin on one team, the interns on the other. Tang Yan, you will be in charge of their safety.” The team leader divided them into groups. “This way, we will be able to find the rest of the body parts as quickly as possible.”

“Okay.”

Everyone wore raincoats and held umbrellas while working. And the forensic doctors wore gloves besides the raincoats.

The groups dispersed into different directions.

“The road up the hill is very steep and slippery. Now that it’s raining, the condition of the road must be very challenging. You two, just do what you can. If you can’t go up, don’t force yourself and burden your team members. I can tell which parts are parts of a corpse.” Before going up, Tang Yan said all this specifically to the two girls.

They were two young ladies after all. They should not have come to such a harsh environment.

“Where the criminal appears is where we should go. How can we be picky on that? We will try our best not to slow you down!” Mu Qiqi said seriously to Tang Yan.

Besides, it seemed that the stamina training Xiaoxiao enrolled her in was very much necessary and coming in handy.

Tang Yan stared at them in silence. Finally, he said, “Okay.”

Six in a group, the whole police force headed toward the most dangerous direction.

While the team members were leading in front, Tang Yan protected them from behind.

Feng Shanshan and Mu Qiqi searched carefully along the way, fearing they might miss any important message or clue.

They spent forty minutes just like that searching the place. Feng Shanshan grabbed hold of a tree and breathed heavily. Mu Qiqi was not any better either. However, they had exceeded Tang Yan’s expectations.

“There’s something here!” The policemen in front shouted in the rain.

Feng Shanshan and Mu Qiqi quickly moved forward when they heard that. When they saw the clean organs already washed by the rain, they said, “That’s right. They’re human organs.”

“Another cruel scumbag!”

They squatted down to take photos while the other policemen moved forward. Suddenly, one of the men slid to the edge of the cliff, perhaps because he could not see the route ahead clearly.

In the nick of time, Tang Yan single-handedly pulled him up. “Be careful. Even the two girls are fine. You are a man. Don’t embarrass yourself.”

“The rain is too heavy. I really can’t see clearly.” The man patted his chest with lingering fear. “Thanks, Xiao Tang. I didn’t expect you to be so good.”

Tang Yan was probably the only one in the whole team who could pull a man like carrying a bag so easily with his bare hand.

Feng Shanshan witnessed the whole scene. Her eyes showed a mixture of emotions, amazement, obsession, and… some disappointment.

“I think there is no need to move on anymore. There is no more road to go up and trail, it’s all cliff.”

“Then we should just go down. The girls should be very tired already,” Tang Yan said. “Let’s go back and see if the other teams found anything.”

Feng Shanshan and Mu Qiqi were shivering out of cold because of the rainwater and cold wind. They wondered how long the bad weather would last.

The other teams did not find anything. It was Mu Qiqi’s team that found all the clues.

“We can’t go on anymore. The rain is too heavy. It’s very dangerous to go up again. Everyone should go back tonight, and we will put the body parts together to see what is still missing,” said the professor to the team.

“Tang Yan, please send the two assistants back,” ordered the team leader.

“No, my family is on the way here. Officer Tang, please send Shanshan home safely.”

Tang Yan glanced at Feng Shanshan. Then, he looked at the team leader and Mu Qiqi and nodded. “I’ll send her home and come back here.”

“No, we can’t do anything in such weather. We’ll do it tomorrow.” The team leader patted Tang Yan’s shoulder and informed the whole team to retreat.

Tang Yan did not object since he saw Feng Shanshan’s cheeks were red with cold. “Coming?”

Feng Shanshan did not hesitate and followed Tang Yan.

They got into the car, but Feng Shanshan sat in the back.

“Take a hot shower once you get home. Otherwise, you won’t be able to go for classes tomorrow.”

“I’m not that weak.”

“I meant your feet,” Tang Yan said, although he sensed that Feng Shanshan deliberately gave him the cold shoulder.

Ten minutes later, Sheng Xiao’s car stopped near the woods and Mu Qiqi quickly jumped into the car and plunged into Sheng Xiao’s arms. “It’s so cold, Xiaoxiao.”

“Didn’t you say that you will strip off the clothes from a policeman?”

“What if he died because of that?” Mu Qiqi said coquettishly. “I sweat a lot while going up to the hill. It was only when I was waiting for you that there was some cold breeze.”

Sheng Xiao glanced at her with a playful look. Still, he took out a clean towel to dry her hair.

“Take a proper bath once you get home!”

“It’s better to have a sweaty workout too…” Mu Qiqi blinked her eyes at Sheng Xiao. “But don’t you have something important to tell me? You can tell me now.”

“No, I want to tell you while working out,” Sheng Xiao replied unforgivingly.
