Chapter 275 Home Visit
Because they showed their affection too much, Li Muhan and Xia Yue were driven out by Lin Ziyu. The two stood at the door of the house, looking at each other, and finally smiled at the same time.
"You're so corny... Who taught you those words just now?"
Xia Yue said.
"I'm a college student after all." Li Muhan scratched his head and responded with a smile.
It was unlikely that anything could be asked from Qi Su, so Li Muhan asked Lin Ze whether he should just sit there and wait for the opportunity.
"Well, why not go to his house and investigate."
On the other end of the phone, Lin Ze gave some suggestions. Li Muhan also felt that if he could contact his family, he would be able to get more information. After all, Li Muhan didn't know anything about Qi Su's movements after he graduated from high school. He didn't go abroad as he had originally said, and he even started a company without even finishing college.
It can be said that the current Qi Su is very different from the nerd that Li Muhan knew.
"Captain Li, please buy some food. The brothers are hungry."
Lu Mang somehow got the news that Li Muhan was going out, so he called Li Muhan's cell phone.
Li Muhan naturally would not refuse, as the other party came to support him. He took the opportunity to exchange a few words with Mengmeng and expressed his gratitude for the information Mengmeng had provided about the nightmare.
"Can you go alone?"
Looking at Li Muhan sitting in the driver's seat, Xia Yue asked with some concern.
"Don't worry, I know my limits. Besides, if that Mu Ya really comes, I guess you and I are the only ones here who can deal with her. I feel more at ease if you stay here."
"Why doesn't Lin Ze let others investigate?"
Li Muhan had just asked Lin Ze the same question that Yin Qi asked.
"Director Lin, are there any colleagues from other departments who can help investigate this?"
Unexpectedly, Lin Ze laughed awkwardly a few times and said something that made Li Muhan extremely depressed: "...It's almost the New Year, and most of the employees are on vacation."
"So the Special Management Bureau is going to have a holiday?!"
"Li Muhan, straighten your attitude. We are a state-owned enterprise and must strictly observe national statutory holidays."
Although there were many things to complain about, Li Muhan couldn't bear to torture the girl any further when he thought that Lin Ze might have stayed up for several nights without sleep.
After giving a few more instructions to Yin Qi and Xia Yue, Li Muhan slowly drove the black luxury car away from the house.
Watching the car's back going far, far away...
"It's been ten minutes, why hasn't he driven out yet?"
Xingfu asked doubtfully.
Yin Qi sighed, "Our captain drives just a little faster than a snail. You'll get used to it."
......
Because Chinese New Year's Eve was just two days away, and most people in Tianhai City were heading back to their hometowns, the traffic was incredibly congested. But this only made Li Muhan think: That's right! This is how you should drive! Just drive slowly, no rush, no rush.
So it was not until dark that he slowly drove the car to Qi Su's home, which Lin Ziyu had found out for him.
It was the top floor of a high-end residential complex. The security guards at the door were tall and obviously not the kind of people who were just there to make up the numbers. Even after seeing their police officer IDs, the security guards still went through a strict check before letting Li Muhan enter the complex.
"Qi Su's father passed away in a fatal car accident the summer before he graduated from high school. Now, he is left with only his bedridden mother to care for."
The information Lin Ziyu collected for Li Muhan made him wonder whether Qi Su’s failure to go to college was somehow related to his father’s death.
Ding Dong—the crisp doorbell sound echoed in the hallway of Qi Su's house.
Li Muhan stood outside the door, thinking to himself: A successful man like Qi Su must have a professional caregiver at home to take care of his mother.
However, when the door slowly opened, a young woman in her early twenties appeared before him.
Her appearance is delicate and picturesque, and her clothes are elegant and generous. No matter from which angle you look at her, she does not look like an ordinary nanny. However, her eyes seem to be a little different in size, which looks a bit inconsistent.
Li Muhan was shocked. Could it be that Qi Su, this nerd, is already married?
However, this idea was instantly rejected by Li Muhan. If Qi Su was really married, with Lin Ziyu's ability, it would be impossible for him not to have discovered any clues.
"Hello, who are you looking for?" The girl looked at him warily, with a hint of confusion in her eyes.
Li Muhan swiftly pulled a leather work ID card holder from his inside pocket and handed it to the girl in front of him with careful and politeness. His voice was calm and firm. "I'm Li Muhan from the Tianhai City Public Security Bureau. I'm conducting an investigation involving Mr. Qi. We're hoping to obtain some relevant information and are looking forward to the assistance of his family. By the way, are you Mr. Qi's... wife?"
The girl took the ID, glanced at it cautiously, then returned it to him and gently opened the door, motioning him in. "I'm Qi Su's distant cousin, and the New Year is coming soon, so I came to see my aunt, Qi Su's mother," she explained.
Li Muhan nodded in understanding, "Then, thank you for your help, Miss."
As he spoke, he stepped into the gate of Qi Su's house. After changing his shoes and entering the inner hall, Li Muhan was immediately attracted by the exquisite decoration inside.
Even someone like him who knows little about art can see that the decoration of this mansion is undoubtedly the work of a top designer, and every detail exudes elegance and taste.
In the spacious space, soft lighting falls on the carefully selected artworks, creating a tranquil and luxurious atmosphere.
Li Muhan turned to the girl, his eyes full of concern, "How is Mr. Qi's mother?" he asked, with a hint of worry in his tone.
The girl sighed slightly and pointed to a room next door. "My aunt is not feeling well and has been resting... Even if she is awake, I'm afraid she won't be able to talk to you." Her voice revealed helplessness and concern.
Li Muhan nodded, understanding in his heart.
The girl then led him to the room and opened the door carefully, as if afraid of disturbing something.
Li Muhan followed and glanced into the room. He saw that the bedside was filled with various medical instruments, including a ventilator mask covering Qi Su's mother's face.
She lay quietly, her eyes slightly closed, as if in deep sleep. On the electrocardiogram monitor screen beside her, the lines undulated rhythmically, proving that the power of life was still tenaciously continuing.
After returning to the living room, Li Muhan looked at the girl sitting on the sofa opposite him and asked.
"Are you close to Qi Su?"
"No, we're not particularly close. I studied abroad and only returned to China this year..."
The girl was a little shy, her eyes were a little evasive, and she seemed not to dare to look at Li Muhan.
"Do you know the company that Mr. Qi opened?"
"I know...my brother...had a fight with my dad because of that company."
"Oh? You had a fight with your dad. Why?"
Li Muhan became interested. After a moment's hesitation, the girl finally spoke out, "After my brother's father, my uncle, died, he wanted my brother to go abroad as planned because he felt it was my uncle's last wish. But my brother flatly refused. Not only that, he didn't even go to college... My dad was furious about this and sent me abroad instead. It was during a phone call with my dad that I learned that my brother had started a company. What surprised me even more was that the game that was popular all over the country and even enjoyed a great reputation overseas was developed by his company."
"Well, have you ever heard from your father that your brother used any shady means to open this company, or did he violate any regulations when running the company?"
Li Muhan's question made the girl's eyes widen, and then she said excitedly: "No, it's impossible! My brother would never do anything illegal! Even my dad said that although the boy is stubborn, he has a really good business mind!"
Faced with the girl's reaction, Li Muhan just nodded, because this was the only possibility he could think of. If the problem was not in the company, Li Muhan really didn't know where Qi Su would do something that would make Mu Ya target him.
Of course... there is another possibility.
Mu Ya didn't do things in her previous style at all.
She simply chose someone who had a connection with her to persecute. What on earth did this woman want to do...
At this moment, Li Muhan accidentally glanced at the mirror in the living room, which just reflected him and the girl in front of him.
It was really luxurious to install such a large mirror in the room. The moment Li Muhan glanced at the mirror, he felt all the hairs on his body stand up. He had no idea what the source of this feeling was.
It was an intuition, something that happened in a flash, and even he himself didn't know what it was.
etc......
Li Muhan stood up and walked to the mirror, touched the frame with his hand, and then asked, "Is this mirror... newly installed?"
The girl was also a little confused. She walked over, looked at the mirror and said, "I... I'm not sure. In fact, this is my first time visiting my brother's house. I've only been abroad before..."
Li Muhan looked at the girl through the mirror. Indeed, she had not had close contact with Qi Su, so it seemed that he could not get anything out of her.
But... why do I always feel that something in this room... makes me feel out of place?
I must have accidentally seen something extremely strange just now, which caused my body to react like that...
After thinking about it, Li Muhan decided to go back first. At least he could have a good talk with Qi Su about his father.
