Chapter 86 Don't mess with her. Xiao Qiu is very irritable right now, so don't mess with her...

Qiu Xiaoman never expected that her haphazard, attacking strategy would actually succeed.

To broaden the search and increase its strength, she called over Xiaohua and the others from the courtyard, leaving the pregnant Mango behind, who could only watch enviously as the dogs could roam freely.

No clues were found at the body dumping site by the Yongding River. The smell there was too chaotic and mixed, and it quickly became pointless to follow. However, Xiaohua remembered that when she was following Zhou Wang, she did see a man who smelled particularly bad and had very big eyes.

Finally, led by Xiao Hua, Qiu Xiaoman and the criminal police team arrived at the villa of Liu's eldest son in the Third Ring Road and found Liu Gengnong, who was on lookout duty.

Although he was armed, he didn't know how to use it properly; he held it there and pressed the button for a long time but couldn't fire a single bullet.

He's the kind of person who usually maintains order at the casino. He often relies on his burly physique to win by force, so marksmanship is his weakness.

However, although he was foolish, he gave the police a legitimate reason to retaliate.

At Qiu Xiaoman's command, Xiao Hua and the others rushed forward, surrounded Liu Gengnong, and viciously bit and gnawed at him. In just a few moments, they crippled both of his arms, rendering him unable to threaten people with a gun anymore.

Even so, Liu Gengnong didn't forget to scream the alarm, telling his boss to run for his life.

Seeing that he was no longer a threat, Qiu Xiaoman rushed forward and kicked open the basement door, only to be met with a dark gun barrel and a strong, suffocating smell of blood.

The bullet was already loaded. As Liu Yuandou's eldest son, Liu Taifu was no pushover. He aimed directly at Qiu Xiaoman's forehead, ready to pull the trigger at any moment.

Unexpectedly, two dogs suddenly rushed over and pulled on his legs from both sides, causing him to lose his balance. He stumbled and shot the basement wall.

Although the shot missed, it gave the police a reason to kill him. However, Captain Zou had instructed them to try to capture him alive, so Chen Jianjun did not aim for a vital organ and fired a shot that hit his right arm.

Unexpectedly, the man was persistent and ran back, trying to use the man on the chair as a human shield. Helpless, Chen Jianjun had no choice but to fire another shot, hitting the man's left thigh.

With a thud, the man stumbled and fell. To regain his balance, he instinctively grabbed the unfortunate man on the chair.

With a thud, the two of them rolled onto the ground together, revealing the unfortunate man's pale face and bloody wounds.

When Qiu Xiaoman saw who this person was, she didn't have time to think. She rushed over, kicked Liu Taifu aside, and helped Liu Kun up from the ground, chair and all. She untied him, gritted her teeth, and with a burst of strength, picked up the grown man and rushed towards the courtyard outside the basement. She had anticipated the danger before setting off, so she called an ambulance in advance. She got in the ambulance and rushed to the hospital.

This astonishing burst of power terrified Chen Jianjun. Only after Fang Jiadong pushed him did he rush over to handcuff Liu Taifu and take them both to the hospital.

*

Liu Kun had more than thirty holes pierced in his legs, lower abdomen, shoulders, and arms.

None of the wounds were fatal, but the continuous blood loss and pain were enough to slowly erode his life.

Looking at the closed emergency room door, Qiu Xiaoman felt regret for her carelessness for the first time.

She should have noticed it immediately. Liu Kun had been sticking to her like a leech. He even called her the night before she went to Shanghai. Why did he stop calling after that?

It's all her fault. She only thought about how annoying this man was. She's an adult and should know how to protect herself.

She was busy dealing with Chen's relatives, and when she returned to the hotel that night, she couldn't remember this person at all.

Seeing Liu Kun suffer such inhumane torture, she felt indescribable pain in her heart.

She knew that he, like her, was someone who wasn't loved by his parents. However, he had been spoiled and had a kind of annoying aura about him.

Especially during their first meeting, the things he said and did convinced her that he was a pervert.

How could a psychopath get into trouble?

But as it turns out, compared to the rest of the Liu family, Liu Kun was already considered normal.

He was raised in a distorted environment from a young age, and he has never seen what normal, healthy interpersonal relationships are like.

This is not his fault.

She should have shown him a little more concern. He provided her with so many useful clues; she believed in reciprocating kindness, but unfortunately, she didn't.

She waited anxiously in the corridor, every sound from inside making her suspicious and paranoid, as if someone was about to come out and tell her about Liu Kun's death.

Honestly, she didn't want Liu Kun to die, not at all.

She hoped he would live a good life; he was a kind-hearted person, and he had a good chance of becoming a good person!

He saved many children, even though he himself was deeply mired in trouble.

He deserves happiness and a healthy, sunny, and joyful life.

It's because God is unfair, fate is cruel, or she was too careless.

Time ticked by, and she paced back and forth. Her cell phone rang several times, but she hung up each time.

She has no desire to talk to anyone right now; no one is acceptable to her.

Shen Qinghuai couldn't get through to her by phone, so he had to come over in person.

It wasn't that he wanted to cause trouble, but Liu Yuandou was picking a fight, calling him and yelling that his daughter had almost killed Liu Yuandou's son and that he needed to take responsibility.

That's absolutely insane.

He specifically asked the bodyguard, but unfortunately the bodyguard could only follow them to the outside of the Liu family's villa and didn't know what happened inside.

He has to come and see what's going on.

Upon arriving at the destination, before he could even speak, Qiu Xiaoman glared at him with a disdainful look.

She's feeling annoyed and doesn't want to talk to anyone; he understands.

They say no one knows a daughter better than her father; this child really does have the same bad temper as him.

Never mind, let him wait over there. He can just call and resolve any company matters.

Soon, Wu Shirong arrived as well. He had already completed the suspect's portrait when Qiu Xiaoman set off with the dog.

Therefore, the people who came to support Qiu Xiaoman were carrying a portrait.

He's heard the suspect has been apprehended and he wants to come over to verify it.

Unexpectedly, he was stopped by Chen Jianjun as soon as he entered the corridor. Chen Jianjun advised, "Ask me what's wrong, I'll help you. Xiao Qiu is very irritable right now, don't provoke her."

"What's wrong with her?" Wu Shirong asked, completely bewildered. "Shouldn't we be happy that we caught the suspect?"

"The suspect's boss arrested the friend who provided her with the clues. The friend was tortured terribly and her fate is unknown," Chen Jianjun explained succinctly.

Wu Shirong understood. No wonder. It seems that this Xiao Qiu is very loyal and affectionate. That's good.

He then asked, "Where is the suspect? Take me to see him. Does he match my portrait?"

"They look exactly the same!" Knowing that Liu Gengnong was in the surgical ward, Chen Jianjun quickly took Wu Shirong there.

Two detectives were standing outside the door. They were old acquaintances, and they nodded to each other, which was considered a sign that the case had been solved and the body recovered.

Wu Shirong pushed open the ward door and saw Liu Gengnong receiving an IV drip, and breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as he looks the part, there's nothing wrong with his profession, and he's worthy of the uniform he's wearing.

Before leaving, he hesitated for a moment, then went to the door of the emergency room, intending to comfort Xiao Qiu, since she had helped him solve the problem of his cat urinating and defecating indiscriminately.

But when they got there, they didn't see Qiu Xiaoman.

I asked and found out she had gone to the ward.

When he found the ward and opened the door, he found Qiu Xiaoman staring at the patient's pale face with a serious and unsmiling expression. Obviously, it was not appropriate to disturb Xiaoman at this moment, so he wisely left.

Chen Jianjun saw him out and couldn't help but remind him, "Don't worry about it. Xiao Qiu is usually cheerful and easy to get along with."

"No, no, I was just thinking that she and that friend must be very close, right?" Wu Shirong wasn't familiar with Liu Kun and had only been back from a field mission a few days ago, so he didn't know what the relationship between Qiu Xiaoman and Liu Kun was.

Chen Jianjun wasn't sure either, so he could only vaguely say, "Judging from their appearance, they must be very good friends. You didn't see it, such a tall adult male, haha, Xiao Qiu actually picked him up in one go! Even I had to put in some effort. These days, women are really not to be underestimated."

"So impressive?" Wu Shirong was a little surprised. If it were him, he probably wouldn't be able to do it. He had always been mocked by Captain Zou, who said that he was as weak as a chicken and needed to train harder.

He tried hard, ate a lot, and trained a lot, but it was no use; he just couldn't gain weight.

Therefore, he was recognized by the Criminal Investigation Department as a "frail painter".

Chen Jianjun had teased him like that behind his back before, and now he couldn't help but glance at his thin frame and laugh, "Anyway, I'm better than you."

Wu Shirong was frustrated. It was over. Even the girls were better than him. He really was the weakest in physical fitness in the Criminal Technology Building. No, he needed to work on his training.

We mustn't let him make a fool of himself when he needs to pick up an injured person; that would be incredibly embarrassing.

People will say he's not even as good as a little girl, tsk.

Once downstairs, Chen Jianjun came up. He didn't go to the ward, but went straight to the attending physician to ask about Liu Kun's injuries.

The doctor reassured him, "It's alright, it's just excessive blood loss, shock, and unconsciousness. The other superficial wounds will heal with proper care, it's not a big problem."

"Really? Thirty-odd holes and none of them hit any vital organs? Does the murderer have a medical background?" Chen Jianjun keenly caught the hidden key information.

The attending physician nodded: "It seems so. The most dangerous hole was very close to the spleen, but it was cleverly avoided. So the murderer only wanted to torture the victim, not to kill them."

Chen Jianjun fell into a long silence. Is the fate of all illegitimate children so tragic?

And what about him?

he……

He clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and slowly chased away the unease in his heart.

He arrived at the ward door, greeted the two colleagues on duty, and whispered, "I'm going back to take care of some formalities. If Xiao Qiu asks where I went, please tell her."

"good."

In the hospital room, Qiu Xiaoman had no time to care about Chen Jianjun's situation; her mobile phone had been run out of battery and turned off.

She had no interest in going back to charge her phone.

Soon, a wealthy woman adorned with jewels walked down the hospital corridor.

Shen Qinghuai, who was waiting in the corridor, was yawning when he heard footsteps. He looked up and froze.

Isn't this Chen Baihui's wealthy aunt in Hong Kong?
