Chapter 776: I’ll Definitely Find It!
“What escape? You have to meet the conditions of an escape for it to const.i.tute as one. A normal escape refers to a series of abnormal behaviors that occur subjectively in order to run from responsibility. For example, cleaning up the scene, moving the victim’s body, and even going shopping. Third Brother did nothing. He even went home normally. That’s why he didn’t know about it.”
“It’s precisely because it’s subjective that it’s difficult to find evidence.” Sheng Xiao picked up his coffee cup again. “However, the lawyer knows how to handle this matter. If you can prove that the other party intentionally framed him, it’ll also increase his chances.”
“I’ll definitely find it!” Mu Qiqi said very seriously. She was swearing to herself in her heart more than she was replying to him.
Sheng Xiao chuckled and ignored her.
After breakfast, Mu Qiqi went out. She wanted to meet the witness first, so she asked Sheng Xiao for two bodyguards.
The witness was a middle aged man. At that time, he was holding a baby in his arms. He was probably taking his grandchild for a walk.
Mu Qiqi spent the whole morning looking for him and then expressed her desire to meet him.
At first, he was a little apprehensive, but in the end, he agreed to meet Mu Qiqi.
However, it was already afternoon, and Mu Qiqi was famished.
After the other party coaxed the child to sleep, he invited Mu Qiqi to the living room. “Who are you? Why do you want to meet me?”
“There was a car accident last night. I believe you still remember it?” Mu Qiqi tried her best to sound humble. “I really didn’t mean to pry into your privacy. I really didn’t want to. I won’t bother you again in the future. It’s just… It’s like this. I just want to ask if you saw the whole process.”
“You mean, the incident of the traffic escape last night.”
“You were standing behind that mother and daughter, right? Uncle, did you see anything unusual?” Mu Qiqi went straight to the point, hoping that the man could recall the event.
“That woman suddenly brought the child to the sidewalk and pushed her from behind. I was carrying my grandson, so I couldn’t argue with her. I don’t know what she was trying to do in such a hurry. I didn’t notice anything else, but I did notice that the woman kept pus.h.i.+ng that little girl.”
“Did you see clearly?”
“It was so close. How could I be wrong?” The man snorted. “That little girl was covered in sweat. She looked uncomfortable, and her face was as white as a sheet of paper.”
“Also, I’ve seen her around for a few days, but I’ve never seen her do anything before. I don’t know what she’s doing on the street.”
The old man had a grandson, and he loved his grandchild very much. He also hated that woman a lot. “That little girl is so pitiful.”
“Uncle, would you be willing to stand in court and prove the car owner’s innocence?”
Hearing that she wanted him to stand witness, the uncle hesitated.
“I also have a grandson. I don’t want to be involved, so I’m sorry.”
In fact, Mu Qiqi could have expected such an outcome, but at least it proved that her guess was right. That woman had pushed Xiao Jiayu.
“It’s okay. Sorry to bother you today.” Mu Qiqi immediately expressed her understanding. “The one who had the accident was my third brother. He didn’t know that he had b.u.mped into the child, and now he’s blaming himself. If it was an accident, we would have left this matter to the police, and we wouldn’t have come to look for you. However, the child’s aunt clearly pushed the child… That’s why I came to look for you.”
“To be honest, the child suffers from leukemia and lives with her aunt and uncle. However, they didn’t treat the child well. Instead, they agreed to take on the child for the sake of their parents’ house. They also have a child of their own. How they’re willing to take care of a sick child…”
After hearing Mu Qiqi’s words, the man understood but he didn’t say anything.
When Mu Qiqi was about to leave the house, he stopped her and said, “Wait, I’ll leave you my number. If you need anything, let the police find me.”
After Mu Qiqi heard this, she quickly bowed. “Thank you. Thank you so much.”
“We all have children and grandchildren, and we also have compa.s.sion.” The man sighed and handed the note with his number to Mu Qiqi.
Mu Qiqi looked at the man gratefully and left.
Although she had been a forensic a.s.sistant for a long time and knew that there were many people in this world who were worse than ghosts, she could not give up her trust in others, such as this old man.
..
Then, Mu Qiqi went to the hospital and saw Xu Che there.
“At two o’clock in the morning last night, the child’s grandfather came with crutches. He wanted to see his granddaughter, but he was chased out by that woman. I asked the nurse to settle the old man down in a nearby hotel. You’ll see him later.”
“Also, there’s nothing unusual in the intensive care unit. They probably haven’t found a chance to do anything yet.”
“You should go back to Xiao Xiao’s side later. This child is really worrying.” Mu Qiqi sighed because she guessed that the other party would definitely think of ways to take the child’s life. If no one was watching, it would really be hard to guard against.
“So, once we find evidence to prove that there is something wrong with the couple, we must immediately call the police,” Xu Che reminded her. “Last night, I went to the head nurse and told her the basic situation. She said that she would arrange reliable nurses today. In a while, I will tell you which two people are the ones. Other than them, everything else is problematic.”
“Reliable.” Mu Qiqi gave Xu Che a thumbs up.
“Now, I will take you to the hotel. Then, I will return to Zhongteng.”
Mu Qiqi and Xu Che were about to leave the hospital, and they almost b.u.mped into Xiao Jiayu’s aunt.
Mu Qiqi felt disgusted when she saw this woman, so she directly avoided her and left with Xu Che through another door of the hospital.
When they arrived at the hotel, the waiter brought Mu Qiqi and Xu Che into the room where the old man was.
She didn’t know why, but when she saw the old man’s bony appearance, she couldn’t help but tear up.
“Who… are you? I want to see my Jiayu.”
“Grandpa, we’re the people who want to help Jiayu.” Mu Qiqi immediately expressed her position and gestured to Xu Che. “Wait for me outside.”
Xu Che nodded. “Be careful.”
Mu Qiqi looked at the old man and felt bitter. “Grandpa, you’ve heard about Jiayu’s car accident, right?”
When the old man heard about the child’s car accident, he immediately started sobbing. “If it weren’t for my mobility problems, I wouldn’t have given Xiao Jiayu to those two b.a.s.t.a.r.ds!”
“Grandpa, Jiayu’s uncle and aunt, what did they do to Jiayu?”
“If I were ten years younger, I would beat those two sc.u.mbags to death. Jiayu was seriously ill and should have been treated in the hospital, but they took her out of the hospital. I don’t know what she wants to do. If she hadn’t forcefully taken Jiayu out of the hospital, Jiayu wouldn’t have had such a serious car accident!”
