"My parents got married before they fell in love. They had no feelings for each other before they got married. After they got married, although they were together less often than they were apart, they were very loving. That's why when my father died, my mother was so sad that she almost died with him."
At this point, Qiao Lu's eyebrows showed a hint of sadness, "It was also from that time that I began to reject love and marriage, and even didn't want to fall in love with anyone."
Mu Qiao looked at him indifferently, and suddenly, she seemed to understand him.
"Perhaps we all need to heal our wounds!" Mu Qiao smiled bitterly and suddenly changed the subject, "Deputy Captain Qiao, can't I personally investigate the murder of Chen Shoucheng?"
"No!" Qiao Lubai shook his head. "This is a local criminal case. Only criminal police are qualified to investigate. If we intervene forcefully, it will definitely cause unnecessary controversy."
Mu Qiao lowered his eyes sadly and said nothing more.
Qiao Lubai could understand her feelings, and in order to reassure her, Qiao Lubai called Director Wei of the Municipal Bureau in front of her.
"Well, Director Wei, it's me, Qiao Lubai. My people are implicated in the murder of Chen Shoucheng. I hope there will be a result within three days."
The other party was very respectful and gave a guarantee. Qiao Lubai was using the hands-free mode and Mu Qiao could hear everything clearly.
...
...
"Thank you, Deputy Captain Qiao!" Mu Qiao's eyes were red with gratitude. If Mulan was locked up for too long, he would definitely go crazy.
This is what Mu Qiao is most worried about!
Qiao Lubai reached out and held Mu Qiao's hand tightly, giving her strength and warmth.
"I'm here for everything, don't worry." Qiao Lubai patted Mu Qiao's hand and assured her.
At this moment, Qiao Lubai's image became even more majestic and full in Mu Qiao's heart, and she began to be unable to restrain her love for him.
Involuntarily, she threw herself into his arms, and her pretended strength suddenly collapsed, and tears flowed uncontrollably.
She had been holding it in for too long and needed to release some energy and have a shoulder to lean on.
Qiao Lubai slowly raised his hand and patted her back, silently comforting her.
In Qiao Lubai's heart, Mu Qiao has always been a tomboy who can't be defeated by anything. However, he didn't expect that her weak spot is her family.
Perhaps even the strongest people have weaknesses!
She didn’t know whether it was because Qiao Lubai’s embrace was too comfortable or Mu Qiao was tired of crying, but she fell asleep silently.
When Mu Qiao woke up, he found himself lying on the bed in the hotel room, and Qiao Lubai was gone.
She jumped out of bed, put on her coat, and when she opened the door to leave, her cell phone rang.
Caller ID: Mom.
Mu Qiao quickly answered the call.
“Qiao, your second sister has been released. The police said that Shoucheng died of a new virus and it has nothing to do with your second sister.”
Mu Qiao's heart skipped a beat when he heard Mu's mother's words.
A new virus?! This matter could be big or small, she had to investigate the case thoroughly.
After finishing the call with his mother, Mu Qiao called the criminal police captain Ma Fei.
"Hello, Mu Qiao, are you awake?" The person who answered the phone turned out to be Qiao Lubai. Mu Qiao was stunned and then asked, "Deputy Captain Qiao, why did you answer Captain Ma's call?"
"The case of Chen Shoucheng's murder is complicated." Qiao Lubai carefully said the name of a new virus, "It is a C+ new virus."
Mu Qiao's heart suddenly tightened. The damn CC fourth-generation virus has not been completely eradicated yet, and a new type of virus has come. These bastards who created the virus, are they still human beings?
"Deputy Captain Qiao, should Snow Wolf intervene in the investigation?" Mu Qiao asked cautiously.
"We've already intervened, but you have to go back to the camp. The Fourth Battalion needs you now." Qiao Lubai hung up the phone after saying that. Mu Qiao could only pack up and rush back to Snow Wolf.
As soon as he entered the camp, Mu Qiao heard the guard say that Li Song and Yin Yu had returned and were in the confinement room.
But they brought back some bad news: "The third battalion commander Liu Feng really died."
This news dealt a heavy blow to Mu Qiao. She thought of what Qiao Lubai said, that Captain Liu Feng's fiancée was pregnant, and the child would be without a father at birth. And Captain Liu Feng's parents, who were over fifty years old and had only this one son, must be very sad.
Mu Qiao witnessed this sad scene with his own eyes.
Because Deputy Captain Qiao was not there, she and Captain Lu went to the Martyrs' Park to see Battalion Commander Liu Feng off for the last time. She saw Battalion Commander Liu Feng's fiancée, who was pregnant and lying in front of the martyrs' tombstone crying heartbreakingly, and she immediately burst into tears.
The scene of Captain Liu Feng's parents fainting from crying on the spot also lingered in Mu Qiao's mind.
After returning to Snow Wolf, Mu Qiao fell ill and had a high fever that wouldn't go away. When she was sent to the infirmary by the guards, she was already delirious due to the fever.
When she was in a daze, she felt a pair of warm hands, stroking her forehead from time to time, holding her hands and talking to her.
Although she couldn't hear clearly, she could feel that the person talking to her was serious and patient.
Slowly, she regained consciousness and woke up. She opened her eyes, but did not see that person.
When the nurse saw Mu Qiao wake up, she quickly notified Doctor Wang.
After making sure that Mu Qiao's fever had subsided, Doctor Wang breathed a sigh of relief, "Instructor Mu, your high fever is really dangerous. It scared the leaders."
"Leaders?!" Mu Qiao deliberately repeated what Doctor Wang said. She wanted to confirm her suspicion.
Because when she was delirious with fever, she suspected that the person who was guarding her was Qiao Lubai.
"Captain Lu, Political Commissar Yang, and several battalion commanders and deputy commanders of the Fourth Battalion are here. They are very worried about you." Military Doctor Wang's words completely shattered Mu Qiao's doubts.
She still didn't give up, and asked tentatively, "Where's Deputy Captain Qiao? Hasn't he returned to the camp yet?"
Doctor Wang shook his head. "I didn't see Deputy Captain Qiao. I heard he was on a mission."
"When?" Mu Qiao asked.
Doctor Wang thought for a moment and said, "It seems he left last night."
"Last night?" Mu Qiao glanced at the calendar on the wall of the ward. It didn't matter what she saw, but she had a high fever for three days.
Deputy Captain Qiao went out on a mission last night, so he must have been to her ward before last night.
She is sure!
She was very familiar with the aura belonging to Deputy Captain Qiao.
But what is the mission that Deputy Captain Qiao is going to carry out this time?
Could it be related to the new C+ virus that killed Chen Shoucheng?
If so, then things are complicated.
Mu Qiao was in a state of anxiety and could not lie down at all. He weakly got up and staggered into the camp office despite the objections of the military doctor and the nurse.
She registered with the guard and knocked on Captain Lu's office door.
After saluting and greeting Captain Lu, Mu Qiao asked straight to the point, "Captain Lu, has the new C+ virus caused any other trouble?"
Lu Feng nodded helplessly. "After Chen Shoucheng, there were three more deaths from this virus in Yishui City. All the deceased were men, about the same age as Chen Shoucheng, around 25 or 26 years old, and all were young masters from wealthy families."
Was this a targeted crime or a major premeditated murder case?
The murderer was so brazen that he did not hesitate to alert the military and police, which shows that he was determined to die.
This kind of desperado is very difficult to deal with, and Deputy Captain Qiao is afraid that this trip will be extremely dangerous.
