Chapter 10 The Psychotic Murder

Author: Mei Er Ruo Xue

A glance at the phone caller ID revealed that it was her best friend, Jiang Wenwen. Mu Yu quickly answered the phone and Jiang Wenwen bombarded her with questions. “Mu Yu, do you know that your Brother Yihan is getting married?”

Mu Yu had deliberately avoided thinking of this, and her heart sank at her best friend's reminder. As a lump formed in her throat, she forced a smile and replied, “I know. I received an invitation today. Well, how do you know about this?”

“I just saw him deliver an invitation to our principal. His publishing firm has business ties with our school. By the way, he gave me an invitation card and invited me to his reception too. Yu, your precious man is getting married, but the bride isn’t you. Aren’t you sad about this?”

Jiang Wenwen was a Chinese language teacher at a middle school.

“Brother Yihan is getting married. As his sister, I should be giving him my blessings. Why will I be sad?”

“Come on, you don’t have to pretend for me. I won’t tell your mother. My schedule is free this afternoon. Do you want me to take the day off and see you?”

“There’s no need. I am at work now. This is my first day and the department has assigned me a lot to do. I’m almost drowning in all this work.”

“Oh, okay then. I’ll meet you tonight.”

After hanging up, Mu Yu felt a sudden surge of sadness. She hurriedly compartmentalized her emotions as her colleagues often entered her lab. She didn’t want them to see her in that state.

Her mind drifted to the case from the morning, and she distracted herself by switching on her computer to look through the victim’s details.

The victim’s name was Shun Meilan. She was a female, forty-eight years old, and a cleaner at Qing Tian Group. The victim was last seen leaving her house after finishing her dinner at 7:30 in the evening. She was found dead this morning in the Cheng Xi woods. The cause of her death was excessive blood loss from a severe blunt force trauma on the hindbrain. Before she died, her tongue was cruelly chopped off, cut into pieces, and discarded.

As she read through the details, she scanned pictures of the victim’s oral cavity and tongue in pieces.

She looked at the bloody scenes and felt her stomach churn. Clicking the cross on the upper right corner of the screen, she exited the document file to prevent vomiting. After all, she was only a novice forensic doctor.

After a few sips of hot tea, she finally calmed down and got to work, as she began to comprehend the psychology of a murderer who would cut off a victim’s tongue and chop it to pieces.

The injury to the hindbrain was fatal. If the motive was revenge, why was the tongue chopped to pieces? Was it because of the murderer’s own trauma? Or was it a grudge against the victim?

Why only the tongue? Why not her ears, nose or any other body part?

Was there meaning behind her tongue?

The tongue had the power of life and death. Did the victim spread rumours that angered the murderer? Was that why the murderer killed her?

She shook her head at this thought.

If that were the case, the intentions behind this wrath-filled crime were too obvious. The murderer could be easily identified. By the looks of it, the murderer left the scene spotless without a trace of evidence. This proved that the murderer was a calm and careful person with solid psychological qualities. It wasn’t a random Tom, Dick, or Harry.

“Mu, aren’t you going home?”

A gentle voice interrupted Mu Yu’s thoughts. She looked up and saw that it was Nie Yunkang, another forensic doctor. She immediately stood up to greet him, “Hello Teacher Nie, how is Xue doing?”

Nie Yunkang’s wife passed away two years ago from excessive blood loss at childbirth, leaving him alone with a sick daughter.

“She gets sick easily, as usual. I take leave once every few days to care for her.” Nie Yunkang sighed. However, he quickly added with a smile, “Fortunately, you’re here now. Rubing could use some help.”

There were four senior forensic investigators in the Forensic Lab. They were Nie Yunkang, Feng Rubing, Lu Xudong, and Shan Rui. Lu Xudong had retired a month ago, Shan Rui was on maternity leave, and Nie Yunkang needed frequent leaves. Therefore, much of the Forensic Lab work fell on Feng Rubing’s shoulders.

Mu Yu was a little embarrassed. She replied, “I am still a rookie. There’s not much help I can offer Teacher Feng.”

“It’s a process. Don’t worry, just come to me if you need any help. Alright, I’m only back to grab something. I’ll make a move now. The work day is over, and you should go home too.” Nie Yunkang gave Mu Yu a wave and left in a hurry before she could say anything.

It was almost seven in the evening. Mu Yu turned off her computer and checked if all the power sockets were switched off. Then, she went home.

At home, she told her parents about her first day at work, putting up a front so they wouldn't know that something was wrong. She also volunteered to do the dishes. While she was scrubbing plates, her mother shouted, “Yu, there’s someone here for you!”

    Mu Yun’s heart clenched at the sound of her mother’s shouting. She instinctively shrank into the kitchen corner and peaked outside.     “Auntie, don’t you recognize me? It’s Wenwen, Jiang Wenwen.”     It turned out to be Wenwen. She had forgotten their promise to meet up today.     Mu Yu heaved a sigh of relief and laughed at her own overthinking.     Even if the wily old fox needed her, he wouldn’t show up at her house. At most, he would make a call. After all, she was now his little pet. All he needed to do was to use his summon card.     “Hey, penny for your thoughts?”Jiang Wenwen patted Mu Yu as her mother looked on with curiosity. Mu Yu gave her a rushed smile. “I was listening to the conversation between you and my mum.”    Jiang Wenwen got up and grabbed Mu Yu’s arm, smiling happily. “According to auntie, I’ve become so beautiful that she couldn’t recognize me!”

    Jiang Wenwen’s face paled and she hastily stood up. She smiled and explained, “Auntie, you misunderstood. We were only joking.”“Yes, yes, yes… It was only a joke.” Mu Yu laughed unnaturally. Hu Meiling eyed her closely and asked, “Was it Xiao Qi? If he kissed and touched you, he must bear the responsibility!”Mu Yu was shocked. She shook her head vigorously and denied, “No, no, mum. We were really just joking! Don’t take it seriously!”If her mother hunted down Xiao Qi to demand that he bear responsibility, her reputation would be gone. Moreover, she had every reason to believe that her mother would do exactly that, since she was eager for Mu Yu to get married as soon as possible.“Was it really just a joke?”“Yes, of course it was a joke!” Mu Yu and Jiang Wenwen replied in unison. Hu Meiling was furious. “How can you joke about something like this? You are girls! This is ridi

    Mu Yu was shocked. She pulled on his arm with all her strength and asked in a panicked voice, “What-What are you trying to do?” Qin Jinhuan stopped on his heels and trapped her against a wall. With a small smile on his face, he asked, “What do you think?”His manly scent filled her nostrils. Mu Yu was so shocked she couldn’t open her eyes. She instinctively pushed on his chest as she held her breath and trembled. “Don’t you dare!”Qin Jinhuan lowered his head and approached her lips with his. Mu Yu was so frightened that she released an involuntary shout. She stuck her body close to the wall behind, wishing hard that her body would just melt into it, just so she could avoid his lips. Qin Jinhuan stopped when he was only two centimeters away from her lips. He blew cold air onto her lips and smirked, “What if I want to?”“I-I will call the police!”    “You want to report me for raping you? I would really

    The woman had curves in all the right places, especially some places that shook as she walked. Moreover, she wore a gown with a plunging neckline that was enough to make Mu Yu gulp, let alone men.     By the looks of it, this woman was an acquaintance of the wily old fox. She wanted to loosen her grip on Qin Jinhuan’s arm, but a painful pinch stopped her. She glanced down and saw that the wily old fox had his hand over the back of her hand. He was obviously the culprit behind the pinch. She glared at him in anger, but a gentle look glazed his eyes, and she felt a stab in her heart.     His gaze was too lethal.    Stop looking! Stop looking!    Mu Yu’s heartbeat quickened when the woman with the plunging neckline pointed at her and asked, “Who is this?”    “My girlfriend.”    Am I not only his date? When did I become his girlfriend?    Mu Yu was very surprised. However, the woman with th

    Mu Yu was scared he would make a move on her. She struggled desperately and shouted, “Hey! Let go of me! I’ll bite my tongue off and die if you don’t!”The next moment, Qin Jinhuan intended to let her go, but taunted her nevertheless. “Do you have anything else to threaten me with other than biting your tongue? Kiss me maybe?”“Bah! You’re insane! Shameless man!” Mu Yu opened the door angrily. “Are you planning to walk home?”“This is none of your business!” Mu Yu wanted to walk out of the door. However, she felt that something was wrong. She quickly turned around and walked back into the room. Qin Jinhuan was changing his clothes. He didn’t even shy away when he saw her walking back into the room. Instead, he smirked at her and said, “What is it? Miss me already?”Mu Yu didn’t dare to talk back to him. She took her bag and ran out of the hotel to her scooter. Riding as fast as she could, she managed to

    Mu Yu thought she was hallucinating from the influence of alcohol. She shook her head vigorously. Then, she stared at Qin Jinhuan.     “Hello, Mr. Qin.” Yin Xiaotian, who was an employee of the Qing Tian Group, hurried over to greet Qin Jinhuan.     Qin Jinhuan carefully helped Mu Yu to her feet and nodded slightly at Yin Xiaotian as he explained, “Something happened at the company, that’s why I couldn’t make it in time to your wedding with Yu. My apologies.”    Before Yin Xiaotian—who was in shock—could reply, he turned back to Mu Yu and scolded her softly, “You know I’ll get worried if you deliberately drank liquor as if you’re drinking water. You always do as you like.”    It sounded like a scolding but underneath it was sympathy and care.     The crowd turned wild again. The gaze they cast on Mu Yu had turned into envy and jealousy.     “Yu? You guys…” Hu Meiling’s voice was filled with surprise.

    A few days ago, Qin Jinhuan’s father, Qin Wentao, went to visit his grandfather behind Qin Jinhuan’s back. Qin Wentao took advantage of the grandfather’s delirium and forced the grandfather to change his will. When Qin Jinhuan received the news, he rushed home and saw that his poor grandfather was forced onto the table. He was so furious that he wanted to beat his inhumane father up. He would have done so if Qin Wentao hadn’t fled the scene. “Boss, the Old Master is clear-headed now. Moreover, he had brought Master Xi with him, so he wouldn’t cross the line,” Huang Bo quickly followed after Qin Jinhuan and said softly. “They have come to pay their respects to the Mistress.”Master Xi, or Qin Chengxi, was Qin Jinhuan’s half-brother. Although he was already twenty-year-old, he looked like a weak young girl of sixteen to seventeen-year-old because he was constantly falling sick from a young age. He couldn't handle external stimuli well. Everybody knew Qin Wen

    Hu Meiling grabbed Mu Yu’s arm and scolded, “Stop pretending and tell me honestly. Don’t you dare tell another lie, otherwise I will immediately drown you in the toilet!” “Don’t do that. You’re scaring your daughter. Talk nicely.” Mu Ziyao ‘rescued’ his daughter from his wife’s grip. Then, he pointed at the screen of the phone and asked, “Yu, are the contents here true?”Aware that she could no longer hide, Mu Yu nodded and quickly explained, “We did stay in the hotel, but our relationship is not as complicated as what the news is suggesting. Nothing happened between us. It’s true!”“You are both single and stayed in the same room for so long. You were even drunk. When you came out of the hotel, your clothes had even been changed. Nothing happened, you said? Unless you prove to me that Young Master Qin isn’t a real man, I will never believe that nothing happened.” Hu Meiling looked at her as if she could already see through Mu Yu’s façade.

It's not like she caused the accident! She caused it herself, okay?"

Wasn't she at fault?"Chen Juan said while presenting the cell phone page about the intimate contact between Qin Chengxi and Fu Shaoyan to Qin Jinhuan and Mu Yu to see, afraid that they do not know as if, completely ignoring the side of the husband and son who made all kinds of winks.Mu Ye

Muyi pressed her to lie down, "You don't want to hurt the wound!""Don't mind me, I'm fine!""Okay, okay, I'll go persuade your brother." Knowing that she was in a hurry, Mu Yu waited for her to lie down and then ran out and instructed the nurse who had made special arrangements to take care of Qin Chengxi before leaving in a hurry.Seeing that Qin Jinhuan's figure had long since disappeared from the elevator entrance, she hurriedly called him and, upon learning that he was in the underground parking lot, immediately ordered him to wait for her to go down."What the hell is going on? Wasn't Shang Qi always good to Xiao Xi before?" Mu Yu expressed her disbelief after getting into Qin Jinhuan's car."That's for Shang Qi to ask." Qin Jinhuan glanced grimly at Bian Zijun.Bian Zijun answered, "I've already gotten through to Mr. Shang, and he said that he'll immediately a

    Qin Chengxi had never actually thought of leaving the Shang family because she never thought she would have such a rigid side."Xiao Xi ah, you're too honest and have a weak nature, your brother is always worried that you'll be bullied outside, and always asked me to advise you to put on a stronger personality. You are a member of the Qin family, you should show the Qin family's vigor. Your brother said, no matter when, no matter where, no matter what happens, he will always be your strongest backing. You have to memorize these words."Her ears rang with the words her sister-in-law had spoken to her so eloquently today.Previously, she had been silently putting up with Chen Juan's mouthiness in the Shang family because of Shang Qi, and now that Shang Qi was talking to her in such a tone, what reason did she have to put up with them?Today she was going to show them that she, Qin Chengxi, wasn't as weak as they thought, and that she also had a personality!

    Seeing that it was Chi Sihui's caller, he wanted to not answer it, but after a moment's hesitation, he answered it.In the end, the two families were family friends, and he and she had grown up together as little ones."Shangqi, where are you?" As soon as the phone was connected, Chi Sihui's petite voice came through."What is it?" He asked back, faintly."Let's have dinner together, we haven't seen each other in a long time.""Not available.""Alright, alright, don't be angry with me, I invited you to dinner today just to apologize to you.""Apologize to me?

    "Uncle, Auntie."With Shangqi gone, Qin Chengxi has no one to rely on, and Chen Juan makes her apprehensive.Chen Juan didn't enter the room either, but just looked at her with a face full of compassionate concern,"Xiao Xi ah, how's your body toning up these days? Why are you getting thinner and thinner?""I've been a little sick the last few days, so I've been eating very little. Always sleepy."Afraid that she would bring up another topic that she couldn't face, Qin Chengxi made a gesture of yawning, looking really sleepy, hoping that it would make her realize that she was leaving."You can't even take care of yourself, how can I expect you to take care of Sang-ki in the future?"Qin Chengxi wanted to say, "Shangqi will take care of herself," but thought better of it and smiled dryly, "I'll get my body well as soon as possible.

    "Eh! Shangqi, let go!" Qin Chengxi struggled sharply."Shang, Mr. Shang?"The group of people who came in originally wanted to ask Qin Chengxi to look into the break because there was an argument, but they didn't expect to run into this scene, so they were all embarrassed and subconsciously tried to turn away."If you're here, why don't you finish before you leave?"The one who spoke, Shang Qi, at this time he had let go of Qin Chengxi, but his hand was still on her shoulder, as if he was swearing a kind of sovereignty, as if he was saying, you guys can watch out, your boss is my daughter-in-law, if you dare to bully her, you are bullying me.The corners of Qin Chengxi's mouth twitched as he looked at him unnaturally, but he let him.The crowd exited her office immediately after saying what they had to say briefly and succinctly.He grinned and held her hand as he took her out to dinner.She finally smiled at the thought.Since s

    Qin Chengxi answered Mu Yan's call.She knew that her sister-in-law was worried about her situation, and immediately stated that she had the support of Shang Qi as well as the Shang family's parents, and only then did Mu Yan say nothing, and advised her a few more times to take care of her health."I know, I'll go back in a few days to see you and Redeemer. I miss Redeemer." She responded with feigned relief."Isn't it easy to miss her? I'll come home from work and bring her to video you.""Okay, that's a deal."A few more words were exchanged before she hung up.When he came back to the office again, Sang-ki was already buried in papers.Looking at him, who had also lost weight, she felt both guilty and heartbroken.She's the one who dragged Sang-gi down.If it weren't for her, the papers in front of him wouldn't have accumulated like a mountain.Meetings were pushed back and forth, and some matters that needed to be handl

    "Brother! Don't!"Qin Chengxi was also terrified and cried as she went up to beg Qin Jinhuan.Although she has been in her heart not ashamed of what her parents did, but in the end is her biological parents, she can not sit back and do nothing, not to mention the grandfather's corpse is not yet cold, and in any case the family can not be so farce."Ah Huan, calm down!" Mu Ye also immediately stepped forward to dissuade Qin Jinhuan.Qin Jinhuan didn't make a sound, but just looked askance at Qin Wentao with a chilly face, without the slightest look of being persuaded by them.The sound of running footsteps outside approached.Qin Chengxi, who was afraid of seeing blood, was terrified, but she knew she couldn't say anything about her big brother and could only cry and go up to her father and beg him to leave.Qin Wentao knew that he couldn't restrain his son, and was worried that he had no place to vent his anger, when Qin Chengxi crashed into
