Chapter 592: Are You Abusing Your Power?
“I’ll pack up and go with you.” The professor accepted the mission naturally since he had to show his support for his nephew.
However, Tang Yan did not answer and stared at Feng Shanshan.
“Are you talking to me?” Feng Shanshan pointed to her own nose.
“Who else am I talking to?”
“I’m just an assistant, not a full-fledged forensic doctor.”
“Stop wasting time. Hurry up.” Tang Yan left the forensics laboratory.
“Is he getting fired up because he just got promoted?” Feng Shanshan was a little unwilling.
The professor could not help but laugh after hearing this. “Since he’s asking for your company, he must have his reasons. He will not abuse his power.”
Really? Feng Shanshan was skeptical.
Of course, her suspicions were not too far from the truth. Tang Yan did help punish the two scumbags heavily last night after all.
Feng Shanshan did not think much of it and packed her things. Then, she followed Tang Yan out.
“It’s just the two of us?” Seeing no one besides Tang Yan, Feng Shanshan looked at him suspiciously. “There are so many forensic doctors in the police station, and even the professor is there. Why are you bringing me, this amateur? Although I’m unwilling to admit it, Mu Qiqi is even more professional than I am.”
“No autopsy needed. We’re just visiting Xiao Yue’s mother. That’s the only mission today.” Walking in front of Feng Shanshan, Tang Yan explained to her. “Along the way, we’ll get the keys duplicated.”
“I told you there’s no need to do so,” Feng Shanshan said stubbornly.
Before getting the keys duplicated, at least she had someone to look for. But once she had another set of keys, she would not have much interaction with him even when they lived under the same roof. They were clearly living together, but she did not want to feel as if she was living with a ghost.
“Give me a reason.”
“Without the keys, I will have someone to look for. But once I have the keys, I will feel bad if you are out of sight all day long.”
Hearing this, Tang Yan did not say anything. He simply brought her straight to Xiao Yue’s house.
Feng Shanshan felt a gloomy atmosphere as soon as she walked into Xiao Yue’s house.
“Her mother is obviously a very superstitious person. The smell of incense in this house is so strong.”
Tang Yan glanced at Feng Shanshan, saying, “Xiao Yue’s maternal grandfather stayed at the temple in his later years. This greatly influenced the family. So, Xiao Yue and her mother practiced Buddhism for a long time. Xiao Yue’s father was very upset about his family’s obsession, so he abandoned them and ventured out alone. There’s no news of him all these years.”
“Was Xiao Yue’s death related to her father?”
Tang Yan did not answer the question.
They entered the living room. Seeing the furnishing so similar to that of a Buddhist temple, Feng Shanshan and Tang Yan exchanged glances.
“Mrs. Xiao, we would like to ask you some questions.”
“Officer Tang, just ask.” The other party sat crying on the sofa.
Since Tang Yan had been there once before, he had a strong impression on Xiao Yue’s mother.
“I’m not sure if you have seen this pattern before.” Tang Yan showed the tattoo pattern on Xiao Yue to her mother.
Xiao Yue’s mother’s face changed immediately. “Why are you asking me this?”
“Because it is tattooed on your daughter’s body.” Mrs. Xiao was stunned, then she cried even harder.
“Apparently, Xiao Yue hated me very much. She hated me as her mother.”
“Can you explain this in detail?”
“It’s because of her matter with Chen Qiao. Because we practice Buddhism, the neighbors criticized us badly. So, the Chen family did not like Xiao Yue and wanted to separate the two of them,” Mrs. Xiao explained. “She argued with me and said that she wanted to live a normal life. I did not agree. But I did not expect her to choose this extreme way to protest against me.
“This talisman is used for curses. It’s a curse that stops reincarnation after death.”
“What did you talk about when you last met your daughter?” Tang Yan asked.
“She told me she wanted to go somewhere far with Chen Qiao for a long time. I thought they were going on a trip as usual, so I didn’t care,” said Mrs. Xiao.
“Then, do you know the temple on the hill?”
Mrs. Xiao shook her head.
“We’ve troubled you today.” Tang Yan didn’t plan to ask any more, so he got up from the chair.
Feng Shanshan also stood up after him.
“I’ll walk you out.”
After leaving the house, Feng Shanshan hugged herself tightly. The gloom seemed to have affected her.
Had Tang Yan not been by her side, she would not have dared to come to this place.
She did not find it weird for the Chen family to object to the relationship between the two. Because her family was abnormal.
“Why are you coming here actually?”
“We haven’t found their mobile phones. So, we can’t find out who they last met. Mrs. Xiao seemed to be very sad in front of us, but the tattoo on her daughter’s body is obviously a curse to someone, even to her own mother. I don’t believe that Mrs. Xiao has never seen or known about it! Because of Chen Qiao, their relationship should be very tense. So, Mrs. Xiao must be hiding something,” Tang Yan said.
Feng Shanshan felt cold and couldn’t help shivering. Right then, Tang Yan stretched his hand out and clamped her under his armpit.
“Let’s go back.”
“Are you abusing your power?” Feng Shanshan said unnaturally.
“If you don’t want to come and learn, I’ll bring someone else out next time.”
“I didn’t say anything.” Feng Shanshan immediately behaved herself and let Tang Yan lead her out of the house.
In the dark, their shadows stretched long on the bluestone road. Feng Shanshan didn’t know why, but she suddenly had a feeling that she had a special place in the man’s heart. It must be different from other people’s, and a very special one at that.
However, Tang Yan did not say anything.
…
On the other hand, Sheng Xiao brought Mu Qiqi to the butler’s hometown.
Xu Che had also found out about the butler’s son’s matter. “The old man’s son was obviously made into a scapegoat by the other people. A group of men fought with him and the murder weapon was found in his hand.”
“Where’s the butler now?”
“The hotel opposite the detention center, with his wife,” said Xu Che.
“What’s Second Brother’s action?”
“I’ve investigated. The couple seemed to have argued in the hotel. In the detention center, someone heard that the butler’s son shouted that his father did not want to save him.”
“Look further into it. I want to know the whole story,” said Sheng Xiao, looking at Xu Che.
Xu Che nodded and left the hotel.
In the meantime, Mu Qiqi, who had been curious the whole time, looked at her man. “The butler of the Sheng family?”
