Chapter 252 Intentional Murder
"Police found a perfume bottle while sorting through the items in the car."
Qi Chenyan handed his phone to Yu Li to look at.
Yu Li asked Qi Chenyan to take the half-eaten donkey meat sandwich she had eaten, and then zoomed in on the picture to look at it several times to confirm.
"This perfume isn't mine. I've never used perfume with this scent before, and I'm pregnant now, so I haven't used perfume for a long time."
Qi Chenyan hummed in agreement: "I know, that's why the police found a fingerprint on the perfume that belongs to Tang Shi."
Yu Li was also somewhat surprised to hear this name.
"Tang Shi? How come her perfume is in my car..."
Just as she was getting to this point, Yu Li suddenly remembered what happened that day.
“I remember now. That day, Jiang Donglin and I were going over the script together. He wanted to meet in person, so we arranged to meet at a restaurant. When I arrived, I found out that Tang Shi was also there.”
“I originally wanted to leave, but Tang Shi said she came here specifically to apologize to me. After we finished eating, she said she didn’t have a car and asked me to give her a ride.”
“I thought her father was your teacher, so I couldn’t refuse and gave her a ride for a while. She originally said she wanted to go somewhere near Lantian, but halfway there she suddenly said she wanted to get out of the car.”
At this point, Yu Li recalled another detail: "By the way, she was in the car at the time, and it seemed like she had dropped something. I saw her sweating profusely as she searched for it, and I wondered if she had lost something important."
"So I kindly parked my car on the side of the road to help her look for it, but she immediately refused and said that she had something to do, and then got out of the car and left."
What could possibly make you sweat so much while searching? Perhaps you deliberately hid the perfume in the car, and Yu Li overheard you.
Yu Li offered to help her search, and she felt guilty, which is why she rushed off the bus halfway through the journey.
Therefore, it seems that this perfume was not an accident, but most likely deliberately placed by Tang Shi.
If it was truly intentional, then Tang Shi was targeting the baby in Yu Li's belly.
That would be premeditated murder!
Qi Chenyan's eyes were deep and dark, and his face was covered with a layer of frost.
He originally thought Tang Shi was just spoiled by her family and a bit willful, but if this is true, then this perfume is for Yu Li's unborn baby.
This is murder, a criminal case. He will not tolerate it and must investigate it thoroughly. Tang Shi must pay the price.
Even though she is the teacher's daughter, she cannot escape legal punishment because of this relationship!
"Qi Chenyan, what's wrong? Why do you look so pale? Is there something wrong with this perfume?"
Yu Li noticed that Qi Chenyan's face was very gloomy, and his aura as a superior was like dark clouds pressing down on the city, permeating the entire living room.
Qi Chenyan snapped out of his daze, grasped Yu Li's hand that was waving in front of him, his expression returned to normal, and he smiled.
"I'm still investigating. If there are any problems, I'll let you know after I've investigated, okay?"
Yu Li looked at him seriously, "Qi Chenyan, we are husband and wife. I hope you will face problems, especially those that concern both of us. We can solve them together."
"I know you're worried about me getting tired or getting hurt, but at the same time, I'm also worried about you getting into trouble."
Qi Chenyan put his arm around his wife's shoulder, pulled her into his arms, and kissed her forehead.
“Lili, I haven’t hidden anything from you, and I won’t hide anything from you. It’s just that this matter is a bit complicated, and I’m still in doubt.”
"However, I have already arranged to meet Tang Shi tomorrow. I think this matter will be cleared up soon. If she really did something to hurt you and the baby, I will definitely not let her off the hook."
Qi Chenyan didn't mention that the perfume contained musk, mainly because he was afraid it would scare Yu Li.
After all, anyone with a little common sense knows that pregnant women should absolutely not touch musk, a type of fragrance.
Pregnant women are naturally affected by pregnancy hormones, making them more sensitive and prone to overthinking. Although her current prenatal checkups are all normal, Yu Li is bound to worry if there is any underlying impact.
So Qi Chenyan kept the matter a secret for the time being, but then he made an appointment with Tan Mo for a check-up.
After we've thoroughly investigated this matter, we should take Yu Li for a more in-depth examination so that we can be completely at ease.
Yu Li raised an eyebrow. "Is Director Qi reporting your schedule to me?"
"Of course, as a husband, I should consciously report to my wife immediately if I go to see any other woman besides my wife."
Yu Li smiled, tilting her head back in his arms and giving him a quick peck on the chin.
"As a small reward for Director Qi, who is 100% aware of his responsibilities."
Qi Chenyan laughed out loud, and following his wife's lips, he pressed a kiss to hers.
Just then, the housekeeper came out of the kitchen carrying cut fruit and witnessed the scene.
Yu Li gave a slight refusal and whispered a reminder: "Someone's here, someone's here."
The housekeeper quickly turned around, saying as she walked back, "Oh dear, look at my memory, I haven't even taken the fork yet."
Qi Chenyan chuckled softly, "Alright, now no one will bother us."
Yu Li leaned in and kissed him on the lips.
Qi Chenyan gave her no chance to retreat, holding the back of her head and deepening the lingering kiss.

The next day, Tang Shi arrived early at the teahouse opposite the government building.
Qi Chenyan arrived at exactly twelve o'clock.
Upon seeing him arrive, Tang Shi immediately got up to greet him.
"Brother Chen Yan, I ordered your favorite Jiuqu Hongmei tea, along with some snacks. Would you like anything else? Would you like some more?"
Qi Chenyan didn't look at the list. Instead, after sitting down opposite her, he went straight to the point, placed a picture on the table, held it with one finger, and pushed it in front of her.
"Take a look."
Because there was not a trace of a smile on Qi Chenyan's face, the oppressive aura of a superior was not restrained at all, and the direct pressure was enough to make people shudder.
Tang Shi naturally felt the pressure from the person opposite her, and a bad premonition arose in her heart. Her smile faded, and she took the photo to take a look.
Instantly, her face changed drastically, turning completely bloodless.
Clearly, Tang Shi made no attempt to hide his feelings, and Qi Chenyan had taken in all of these expressions.
Without even asking, just by looking at her drastically changed expression, it was clear that she was the one who did it.
"This perfume is yours, isn't it?"
Tang Shi's lips twitched, and she subconsciously wanted to deny it.
But Qi Chenyan added, "Don't rush to deny it. If I hadn't found your fingerprints on the perfume, I wouldn't have come to see you today."
"Now that I'm sitting here, I have 100% of the evidence. There's no need for pointless sophistry. You know it's meaningless in front of me. So tell me, why did you harm Lili?"
