How I Tamed My Wolfish Husband Back in 80s-Chapter 419 - 421: Pitiful_1

Li Qiao still had two classes to teach. As she prepared to leave, Mao Yawen said, "I’m here for another matter as well. There’s been a case on hold for nearly five years at the precinct, and we would like to ask for your opinion on it."

Li Qiao: "...." Wasn’t it specifically to tell her the results of the dormitory poisoning case?

She wanted to decline but hesitated and agreed after a moment’s pause.

"If it has been on hold for five years, it’s not urgent. I’ll have a look when I’m free. But I must state in advance, if you professional folks can’t handle it, don’t expect miracles from me who knows so little. If I can’t find a breakthrough after understanding the situation, you better not criticize me for being incompetent."

"How could we?" Mao Yawen promised eagerly, "Even if you don’t get results, everyone will still admire you."

Li Qiao was now somewhat of a celebrity in their circle.

Highly educated, intelligent, and meticulous.

Able to notice the details that everyone else overlooks.

The team had actually approached the school privately, requesting her early graduation to join the criminal investigation department, even offering her the position of a department head, but she refused. Her reason was that the school nurtured her to educate more outstanding students.

Criminal investigation work would bury her talents.

The people in the precinct were envious.

She envied them too.

Not only was she beautiful, she was also capable.

Li Qiao smiled, "Then, it’s settled."

After parting with Mao Yawen, she went to her classes and directly to the library after finishing. She didn’t return home until eight o’clock in the evening.

Feng Kui’s mother and Jin Daxue were there, both were earnestly trying to convince Qin Jin to hand over the child to them for care.

Mrs. Feng said, "Every day under your grandmother’s watch, you shouldn’t have any worries."

Qin Jin politely responded, "The child is familiar with Mrs. Tao, changing caregivers would make him uncomfortable. Besides, your family has its own children to look after, which wouldn’t be convenient."

"Convenient! They just need a few more days to get acquainted. The key is that we don’t want your money," Mrs. Feng said.

Qin Jin thought, you’re not asking for money, but isn’t there another motive? He changed the subject, "Does Feng Kui know?"

"He, he knows," Mrs. Feng said, her gaze flickering.

Jin Daxue chimed in, "We decided together to come over."

Qin Jin: "I’ll ask him tomorrow."

"What’s there to ask about? We’re all villagers here, and we worry about the person you hired being bad for the child, so we wanted to help you out."

Li Qiao: "Auntie, it’s so late, aren’t you going home? If you want to take care of him, have you asked the child if he wants to?"

"Qiaoqiao is back, huh."

Mrs. Feng said with a kind face, "Yunye, from now on I and your aunt will take care of you, okay?"

The child could only say ah, um, hum. Whichever word he responded with would be taken as consent. He pursed his lips and frowned, picking up a small toy next to him and throwing it at Mrs. Feng’s face.

Mrs. Feng was hit squarely and cried out in pain, "Ouch! This kid has some strength."

Jin Daxue: "This child has quite the temper, huh? Can’t he speak nicely instead of hitting people? If you don’t correct this behavior, he might end up hitting his parents when he grows up."

The child started crying angrily.

Qin Jin’s heart ached, "Can your child speak yet? And it was you who provoked him first, you deserved to be hit!" He picked up his child and soothed gently, "My little darling, don’t cry. Daddy won’t let anyone else take you. Mrs. Tao will only look after you during the day, the rest of the time it will be Mommy, Daddy, and Great-Grandma with you."

"Daddy." The child frowned, looking particularly aggrieved.

Qin Jin’s heart softened, "Ah, my sweet son, you’re adorable and well-tempered. Your mommy and I love you so much. It’s their fault, not yours, no need to cry. You did the right thing. If they bother you again next time, grab something big to throw, and hit them until they’re covered in lumps...."

Mrs. Feng: "....."

Jin Daxue: "......"

The child leaned against Qin Jin, clutching his clothes and rubbing away tears, calling pitifully, "Daddy."

Qin Jin again tenderly comforted, "Daddy’s here."

Mrs. Feng and Jin Daxue exchanged glances.

Before they could open their mouths, Qin Jin issued a dismissal, "Let’s not bring this up again, we are going to rest. You can leave now."

Jin Daxue still seemed like she wanted to speak.

Mrs. Feng nudged her, and only then did Jin Daxue say, "Sorry for disturbing you."

"If you know it’s disturbing then don’t come back next time," Qin Jin said, unapologetically.

Mrs. Feng: "...."

Jin Daxue: "....."

Li Qiao and Old Mrs. Qin saw the two out, and after double-locking the door, Old Mrs. Qin spoke in a hushed tone, "I see through these mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, claiming to help us with the child, but in reality, they’re plotting for Feng Kui to take advantage of Jin."

Now things were fine.

From now on, whenever Jin saw Feng Kui, the first thing he would think of was the harassment from his mother and wife.

If there were benefits, they wouldn’t let Feng Kui have them all to himself.

In her opinion, if Mrs. Feng couldn’t help with the child, she might as well go work in the factory.

Better to entrust the kid directly to Daxue, and avoid the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law scheming together all day long.

Li Qiao: "Daxue always has many ideas." Playing smart, thinking everyone else is a fool.

The outside Jin Daxue thought back on Qin Baby calling ’Daddy’, "Do you think the child was calling for Qin Jin, Daddy?"

Mrs. Feng: "Probably, it sounded like it. Children born to Top Scholars are different from those born to ordinary people."

Dragons beget dragons, phoenixes beget phoenixes.

There was no denying it.

Though her own child could understand adults’ speech too, he wasn’t as sharp as those in Qin Jin’s family.

And he knew how to hit people too.

Oh, her face, ouch, it hurt so much!

Jin Daxue thought to herself, their dad is clever too. Feng Kui might have studied for a few years, but Qin Jin never had a single day’s schooling, and yet he could read and write, he wrote well, now runs a factory, has a driver’s license, and holds two accounting certificates. How could the child be lacking?

At worst, he would inherit Qin Jin’s factory in the future.

What about them?

Feng Kui following Qin Jin, but who would their children follow, Qin Yunye?

Just thinking about it was distressing.

The morning light was warm and soothing.

Li Qiao woke up early, went for a walk with Qin Jin pushing the stroller, and returned to school at 7:30 AM.

After school at noon, she went to the criminal investigation team to get an update on the case.

According to the file contents.

Five years ago, in a small state-owned restaurant on Beixi Road in the south of the city, a family of five, including the restaurant owner and his wife, were robbed and murdered.

The owner, Cheng Bingjiu, was the oldest at only thirty, with his youngest son being just three months old.

The murder weapon was a cleaver.

The crime took place at night, during a curfew; there were hardly any people outside after dark.

Therefore, there were no eyewitnesses.

Every so often, the victims’ parents would come over to ask about the progress of the case, but at that time, all the surrounding people had been checked and nothing suspicious was found. They speculated that the murderer was a habitual offender with strong investigative abilities.

Li Qiao flipped through the photos of the restaurant.

And the photos of the crime scene.

The restaurant wasn’t large.

She had been to Beixi Road, and the restaurant had now turned into a barbershop.

If the habitual offender was after money, why choose a small restaurant owner and not target the manager of a bigger restaurant?

She voiced her doubt. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

A colleague beside her, quite experienced, said, "We discussed this question back then. Everyone agreed that the small scale of the restaurant and the couple managing it made the targets easy for the murderer to identify."

Li Qiao: "If so, why weren’t the shops next door chosen as targets?"

Her colleagues were at a loss for words.

Mao Yawen: "Have you thought of something?"
