Chapter 621: Trying to Act Great
“Miss Mu, are you saying that someone is trying to harm you with this matter?” Fang Lan grasped the key point in Mu Qiqi’s words and asked deeper about it.
“Miss Fang, think about it. Someone disguised a corpse as my sister and put it in her house. Then, he purposely skipped the local police and reported the case to the criminal investigation team that I am working with. Following that, the news about my sister’s death came gus.h.i.+ng again and again on the Internet. Doesn’t it look like a carefully planned plot? I think shortly after this interview, I will be able to see articles saying that I have persecutory delusions.”
Fang Lan pondered a little and laughed. “What you say does make sense.”
“Don’t you all want to know who the one faked my sister’s corpse and death is? Don’t you want to know the truth behind the case? The story between my sister and I is an old one. Is it worth mentioning again? More importantly, I want to remind the person behind this. You should hide yourself properly and not let me find you. You’re committing a crime. The law will teach you how you should behave!”
What she said seemed very true. Who was the one disguising another person as Mu Tangxue? What was the real ident.i.ty of the dead? And who was the one controlling it behind the curtains? These should be the things that the public should be focusing on.
“Unfortunately, I am just a forensic a.s.sistant now. However, I’m very lucky to have taken part in the investigation of many cases. Our job is to pacify the deceased and their families and to provide clues for the police to arrest the criminals. I have learned a lot from everyone from the police station and I have seen the dark side of many things. I thought my job would help me to gain some respect from the public and reduce the negativity my birth has brought me. But now I realized that the netizens simply like to watch drama. They don’t care about the person’s ident.i.ty or job. And they don’t care what you have done behind their backs.”
“Are you disappointed?” Fang Lan asked.
“A little. I still hope the world can be a sunnier place.”
“Do you regret choosing to become a forensic doctor?”
“In the last case I was involved in, an old couple in their sixties lost their son. And more importantly, their son was a very hardworking and dedicated young man. Just because of a small argument, he lost his life. We felt very sad for the old couple. But thinking of our ident.i.ties, finding out the truth was the only thing we could do for them. I don’t regret my choice. But I hope that the outside world won’t reject or judge me for something I have no control over. I will be very sad if that were the case.”
Fang Lan was very sure that Mu Qiqi was trying to divert the viewers’ attention, and doing a good job at it, as the questions she raised were very interesting.
And her last sentence obviously put the conscience of those netizens, who just wanted to watch the whole thing for fun, on the grill.
Did they still have their conscience while they were attacking a person who was trying to seek justice for the dead?
This reminded the people of the scene of Mu Qiqi working very hard despite the bad weather when Gu Ziling’s uncle’s ex-wife was killed.
The twenty-year-old girl had run here and there, working hard to become a forensic doctor. How did she provoke the netizens?
“If Mu Qiqi is an unlearned second generation of the rich, it could still be understandable that she is criticized. Now that she has said that, I really pity her. How brave she is to have chosen to become a forensic doctor as a girl.”
“She’s bringing criminals to justice while the people on the Internet stab her with knives on her back. I really hope that those people will meet Mu Qiqi if they commit crimes in the future.”
Different voices began to appear on the Internet.
The staff at the police station were also watching Mu Qiqi’s interview. After listening to what she said, Feng Shanshan said to the professor, “Captain Tang will get very busy soon. The chief will surely set a deadline for him to solve the case.”
Just as she said that Tang Yan returned to the police station. “We’ve found the origins of the corpse.”
As for Mu Qiqi, the interview was still going on, but the topic has already changed to why she did not choose to walk the path of other rich young ladies and instead had chosen to become a forensic doctor.
Of course, this was also to divert the attention of the public. Because misunderstandings easily occurred.
More importantly, if any hate posts appeared on the Internet while Mu Qiqi was being interviewed, then their IP address would be easily traced.
And coincidentally, there were a group of people who were like disgusting maggots that did exactly those disgusting things, while hiding behind their screens.
However, these people were soon marked by the police.
Since there was someone trying to frame Mu Qiqi by faking Mu Tangxue’s death and had hired hate speech campaigners to criticize her, it would mean that there was a close relations.h.i.+p between the two.
Once they were found out, it would be easy for them to find the corpse thief.
After the interview, the people’s opinion and comments about Mu Qiqi changed.
If there was still someone trying to criticize a forensic doctor, then he was not a human. He was rubbish.
…
After watching Mu Qiqi’s interview, Ye Jingcheng smashed his computer onto the ground. She wasn’t a selfless forensic doctor. She was a s.l.u.t who killed her sister.
But when he was trying to contact the hate speech campaigners, the police had locked on their target. At the same time, an unfamiliar number called him.
Looking at the phone number flas.h.i.+ng on the screen, Ye Jingcheng had a strange feeling.
So he quickly answered the call.
“Jingcheng, help me!”
Hearing that voice, Ye Jingcheng jumped out of the sofa. “Tangxue? Is that you?”
“Sheng Xiao’s men are chasing me… Help me… I’m scared!”
Hearing Mu Tangxue’s voice, Ye Jingcheng lost control of himself. He was so confused now. How could he continue to deal with Mu Qiqi?
Now, he just wanted to find Mu Tangxue. But what he didn’t know was that it wasn’t her, but a voice actor mimicking Mu Tangxue’s voice that Sheng Xiao had hired to make this call, to confuse him.
Now, the game was under Sheng Xiao’s control.
He wanted to save Mu Tangxue, right? He could do it slowly. There was no need to rush.
…
On Mu Qiqi’s side, Feng Shanshan had predicted that it would be difficult for Mu Qiqi to counteract the hatred the outside world felt toward her after the clarification, since many people had preconceived thoughts about her.
But after watching the live broadcast, Feng Shanshan did not know if it was the power of Sheng Xiao’s public relation team or the fact that Mu Qiqi was a good orator that changed people’s minds. Her remarks about trusting the police and to believe in forensic medicine were really full of positive energy. It was enough to educate the netizens how to be good humans in minutes.
All in all, everyone now felt that slandering a righteous forensic doctor like Mu Qiqi was almost the same as killing a person.
Sheng Xiao didn’t control Mu Qiqi’s speech at all. He let her speak freely because he knew how clever she was.
And the facts had proven this. Sure enough, her clarification was very brainwas.h.i.+ng. So, how could she not go to the state banquet tonight?
And to think she was still trying to act great and mighty in front of him just now!
