Chapter 943: Single People are Really Envious
The female forensic doctor gave him an answer. “This middle-aged man was strangled to death. Look at the signs and the position of his neck. The strangulation groove is obvious. It’s horizontal and even. There’s no empty s.p.a.ce. Moreover, the edges of the strangulation groove are neat. The entire width is similar to something like a belt. There are also traces of dandruff on his skin. Combined with the features of his face and the condition of the bleeding in his ears, this is a very typical case of mechanical asphyxiation.
“So, you guys might have a lot of work to do next.”
Tang Yan could only helplessly shrug when he received the autopsy report.
..
It was seven o’clock in the morning.
Mu Qiqi did not see her man when she woke up. Instead, she saw Feng Shanshan eating breakfast downstairs.
She was shocked for a moment. Then, she understood why Feng Shanshan was here. “Tang Yan is out on the field?”
“He’s not back yet.” Feng Shanshan pursed her lips and took a sip of milk. “I wonder if he’ll be by my side when I give birth.”
“He’s a man of his word. He’ll never go back on his promises. Don’t worry.” Mu Qiqi sat down at the table with her stomach all puffed out.
However, she felt uneasy when she did not see Sheng Xiao.
“Looking for your big CEO? He’s out.” Feng Shanshan could see her being ill at ease and quickly said, “You really can’t leave him at all.”
“None of your business.” Mu Qiqi snorted. Then, she patted her stomach and said, “Why do I feel like I’m bigger than you when I’m only eight months pregnant?”
“I heard from the doctor that it’s not easy to give birth to such a big child.”
Mu Qiqi threw a punch at her. “You’re trying to scare me.”
Feng Shanshan immediately laughed. Suddenly, she felt a wave of pain.
Mu Qiqi watched her touch her stomach and immediately rolled her eyes. “Stop pretending.”
Mu Qiqi did not believe her act.
“I’m really in pain.” Feng Shanshan leaned back in pain. “It hurts, it hurts…”
When Fifth Aunt heard her shout, she immediately rushed out of the kitchen with Mama Sheng following closely behind her. When she saw Feng Shanshan, she immediately said, “Send her to the hospital. She’s about to give birth.”
Mu Qiqi suddenly felt nervous. It was as if she was the one who was about to give birth.
Soon, the ambulance arrived at the Banyan Courtyard. Fifth Aunt and Mama Sheng followed. Mu Qiqi also wanted to go, but neither of them allowed it.
“You just have to wait for the news at home. With your big belly, it’s not convenient for us to take care of you.”
Mu Qiqi struggled for a while before finally nodding. “Alright then. I’ll give Captain Tang a call. He promised Shanshan that he would be by her side when she gave birth.”
“Alright, don’t worry.” After saying that, Mama Sheng and Fifth Aunt left.
Mu Qiqi held her phone and dialed Tang Yan’s phone number. However, she couldn’t get through as it was constantly engaged.
“If you don’t pick up the phone, you’ll miss the birth of your son.”
Mu Qiqi had no choice but to call Sheng Xiao. “Xiao Xiao, Shanshan went to the hospital and is about to give birth. However, I can’t contact Captain Tang. Can you help inform him?”
“I’m in the middle of a meeting,” Sheng Xiao replied.
“Alright then.” Mu Qiqi hung up. Sheng Xiao took a deep breath and called Xu Che in.
“Go to the branch office to look for Tang Yan. His child is about to be born.”
Xu Che pointed at his face in disbelief. Was there a need for him to inform him of such a thing?
After thinking for a while, Xu Che turned around and immediately went to the parking lot to get his motorcycle. He then drove toward the Jianchuan branch office.
..
In the hospital, Feng Shanshan was immediately sent to the delivery room to be examined by the doctor.
However, the doctor only took one look before saying, “Her water has broken. Family members should not follow in…”
Fifth Aunt and Mama Sheng were not considered Feng Shanshan’s family members. Therefore, other than Tang Yan, the two of them did not know who to inform.
Feng Shanshan endured the pain caused by the contractions. There was only one thought in her mind. That man had promised her that he would be by her side when she gave birth. However, he was probably unable to leave now.
The nurse was in the delivery room, making all kinds of preparations. When she saw Feng Shanshan’s uneasy expression, she asked her, “Is your husband here? Should I let him in?”
Feng Shanshan shook her head. “He can’t come. He’s a criminal police officer. He accepted a mission last night.”
“Oh, I see. Don’t feel uneasy. Police officers are like that. Although we feel wronged sometimes, it’s not that he doesn’t love your family, right?” The nurse comforted her, “I’m also a policeman’s wife. I’ve given birth to three children while my husband was out catching criminals. However, this doesn’t affect our relations.h.i.+p because I know that he has always been concerned about me. It’s the same for you. He must also be worried about you. So, be strong. It’s not a big deal. We will help you.”
With the nurse’s comfort, Feng Shanshan calmed down a little.
“Are you feeling better?”
Feng Shanshan nodded.
“All mothers are great. You are no exception.”
..
Tang Yan had just left the Lou family’s home. They were in a state of grief. The son of the deceased, Lou Zichen, cooperated with the police to make a statement.
“In short, even the Lou family doesn’t know. How did he disappear?” Officer Long looked at the statement and felt a little helpless.
“Let’s go to the Lou family’s company again,” Tang Yan said. However, when he remembered that Feng Shanshan was still at the Sheng family’s home, he decided to call her first.
However, Feng Shanshan’s phone was in the Sheng family’s guest room, so no one picked up.
He wanted to call again, but Xu Che, who was riding a motorcycle, suddenly stopped in front of him and said, “Your wife is in the hospital.”
When Tang Yan heard these words, he took off.
“Captain Tang?”
“Captain Tang?” Officer Long quickly caught up with him. “What’s wrong?”
“You and Old Cheng go to Lou Corporation. I’m going to the hospital.” After saying that, Tang Yan opened the car door.
Officer Long was stunned for a moment before he understood. “You’re going to be a father, right? Single people are really envious…”
Tang Yan sped forward at full speed. He thought about his promise to Feng Shanshan that he would be there when she gave birth, and yet, he was completely unaware that his wife had been sent to the hospital.
He blamed himself, and his feelings were complicated.
His heart ached, with guilt and antic.i.p.ation all mixed together, causing him to be at a loss for what to do.
Soon, he saw Mama Sheng and Fifth Aunt at the entrance of the hospital, so he sped up and rushed to them. “Auntie, where is Shanshan?”
“You’re finally here.” Mama Sheng looked at Tang Yan and said, “She’s in the delivery room. She’s been in there for quite a while. I don’t know how the situation is now. Go and ask if they’ll allow you in.”
Tang Yan did not say anything and went straight to the obstetrician. “I’m Feng Shanshan’s husband. Can I go in?”
