Chapter 104
Lu Jingfeng loosened his tie, and the metal clip flashed a cold light around his neck.
The iron door of the interrogation room closed heavily behind him. He raised his hand to rub his swollen temples, his fingertips brushing over the indentation left by the police cap.
The incandescent lights in the corridor buzzed, distorting his shadow on the wall.
When I pushed open the office door, there was still steam coming out of the enamel pot on the table.
Lu Jingfeng grabbed the cup and took a big gulp. The scalding hot tea made the tip of his tongue numb, but it couldn't suppress the irritability surging in his chest.
Outside the glass window, Sun Qiumei's sharp shouts came from the direction of the interrogation room, mixed with the sound of iron fences shaking, echoing in the corridor.
"team leader!"
The adjutant pushed open the half-open door holding a brown paper bag, beads of sweat on his forehead.
"The test results are out!"
He slammed the report on the table and said very quickly: "The composition is 98% consistent, it is chloroform. The old forensic doctor of the Municipal Bureau said that with this concentration of volatile anesthetic, an ordinary person will lose consciousness in half a second after inhaling it."
Lu Jingfeng's finger hovered above the report, and the tip of his pen left a blob of ink on the three words "caused to coma".
He thought of the marks on Mu Qingxuan's wrists. He clenched and unclenched his fists, and his Adam's apple rolled unconsciously: "The medicine bottle sent for inspection has obvious traces of wiping on the mouth of the bottle?"
"Yes."
"According to the victim's written testimony, the biggest suspect should be Mu Qianqian."
The adjutant pushed up his glasses, his eyes behind the lenses filled with confusion: "What's strange is that the testimonies of the others all insisted that the medicine bottle belonged to Sun Qiumei. The one called Mu Dongjie even swore that he saw his mother pickling pickles with this bottle with his own eyes."
"Only Sun Qiumei insisted that she stole the bottle from the Shi family and it had nothing to do with her."
Lu Jingfeng frowned, still feeling that something was not right.
"It is very likely that this is a frame-up."
Lu Jingfeng rubbed his swollen forehead and said, "I just don't know why Mu Qianqian would be willing to frame her own biological mother."
The adjutant took out his notebook and wrote quickly, the tip of his pen scratching the paper: "Could it be that the mother and daughter are colluding with each other, and Sun Qiumei wants to take the blame for her daughter, or maybe..."
He suddenly lowered his voice, "Shi Feihua is putting pressure on me from behind? After all, he is from the Education Bureau..."
"These are all unfounded speculations. Keep investigating."
Lu Jingfeng said in a deep voice: "Go to the black market in the west of the city and check all chloroform transaction records in the past three months. Also, arrange a few people to ask the residents near the Shi family if they know what time Mu Qianqian returned home last night."
The adjutant stood at attention and said, “Yes!”

After this incident, Mu Qingxuan had to ask for two days off from school.
At least I have to wait until all the scars on my body have healed before I can go back to school.
That day, Huo Changfeng walked into the room with some information and motioned for Mu Qingxuan to take a look.
Mu Qingxuan flipped through a few pages and raised her eyebrows: "Mu Qianqian, is this trying to put all the blame on Sun Qiumei?"
Huo Changfeng nodded: "That's right. Although the police can almost confirm that it was Mu Qianqian who did it, they can't find direct evidence."
"After all, the person who bought the powder on the black market and colluded with Wang Saner was a woman named Sun."
A mocking smile appeared on Huo Changfeng's face.
He had to admit that Mu Qianqian's methods this time were much more sophisticated than at the beginning.
But it's still ridiculously clumsy.
Mu Qingxuan continued to look through the documents: "During the interrogation, Mu Dongjie couldn't wait to throw dirty water on Sun Qiumei?"
She shook her head speechlessly: "Mu Dashan and Sun Qiumei really raised an ungrateful person for themselves, but this really seems like something Mu Dongjie would do."
Mu Dongjie is young, but he is the most selfish person.
As long as he could clear himself of suspicion, he wouldn't care whether Sun Qiumei would be harmed.
Mu Qingxuan suddenly thought of something: "From a certain perspective, Mu Dashan and Sun Qiumei are also quite miserable. The daughter committed a crime using her name, and the son threw dirty water on her head."
It is true that evil will be punished by evil.
When Mu Dashan and Sun Qiumei forced my grandfather to death, I wonder if they ever thought about the retribution they would receive in the future.
Huo Changfeng thought Mu Qingxuan was hinting at something, so he immediately sat up straight and said, "Xuanxuan, our future children will definitely not be like this."
"If our children dare to bully you in the future..."
He suddenly tightened his arms, hugged Mu Qingxuan into his arms, rested his chin heavily on the top of her head, and his voice was filled with lingering hostility.
"I will break his legs and send him to the northwest to open up wasteland and farm."
Mu Qingxuan looked up suddenly and met Huo Changfeng's tense jawline.
His brows were tightly furrowed, as if he had seen an ungrateful child who was giving him a headache.
She suddenly burst into laughter, and her warm breath fanned into his throat.
Huo Changfeng was so startled that he lowered his head slightly, but his eyes met her almond-shaped eyes that were curved into crescents.
“You…”
She reached out to smooth the wrinkles between his brows, her fingertips touching the unhealed abrasion on his forehead, and her smile was filled with heartache.
"How could our child become like that?"
One of the important reasons why Mu Dashan and Sun Qiumei fell into this state is that they both brought it upon themselves and there were big problems in the way they raised their children.
But Mu Qingxuan believed that both she and Huo Changfeng were in normal mental states, and the Huo family was a very warm family.
Their children who grow up in such an environment will definitely be healthy and will definitely not grow up to be like Mu Qianqian and Mu Dongjie.
Mu Qingxuan buried her face in his warm chest, listening to his heartbeat like a drum: "I believe our child will be as smart and capable as us."
Huo Changfeng lowered his head and kissed the curls of her hair, his chin rubbing against her soft hair. The person in his arms was as light as a feather, but his heart ached.
"It's better to be more like you."
Huo Changfeng touched Mu Qingxuan's slightly bulging belly.
He counted the days and it was almost five months.
Four months later, his
The first child will be born.
When he thought of this, Huo Changfeng felt his blood boiling.
He couldn't help but hug Mu Qingxuan again.
Mu Qingxuan closed her eyes and listened to Huo Changfeng's strong heartbeat.
She tightened her arms around his waist and said in a soft voice, "I'm sleepy."
Huo Changfeng immediately understood: "I'll carry you to bed."
Mu Qingxuan buried her head in Huo Changfeng's full chest muscles, rubbed her cheek against them, and nodded: "Yeah."
The next day, Mu Qingxuan returned to Capital University.
Zhou Zhishang had been waiting in her office early. When he saw her coming, his face was full of apology: "Comrade Xiao Mu, I'm so sorry. If I had known that day, I wouldn't have invited you to dinner."
"Or maybe, I should accompany you to wait for Comrade Huo to come to the state-owned hotel."
When Zhou Zhishang thought about how he almost harmed Mu Qingxuan, he regretted it so much that he wanted to bang his head against the wall.
