Chapter 218: 211: Breaking news, Miss Wen visits the OB-GYN (second update)

Chen Qiuchan didn’t have any comforting words. As far as he knew, the bonds between the Qin brothers were very close.

“My retirement is imminent, and the board meeting is next week, which is the most crucial time for your career development. I hope you won’t be affected,” Chen Qiuchan had already internally chosen Qin Qi.

“Rest assured, I can separate personal matters from my work. It won’t affect my job.”

Wen Changling had a very ordinary relationship with her colleagues in Group Two of the technical department, except for Engineer Shen. Almost no one else had ever spoken to Wen Changling. Dai Qiu was very supportive of her and would have lunch with her whenever she was free.

They had a male colleague sitting in front of them, and Wen Changling glanced at him casually.

Dai Qiu worked in administration and had good eyes: “That is the Senior Director of the IT Department.” Dai Qiu said, “Not many people in the company know, but he’s President Yan’s cousin.”

The company’s computers involved a lot of technical secrets, and the computers of the R&D and technical staff had been doubly encrypted by both the IT Department and the technical department.

“How do you know that?” Wen Changling asked.

“I’ve been President Qin’s secretary for many years, and President Qin and President Yan have always been close friends.” Dai Qiu said in a joking tone, “If there’s anything you don’t understand, or want to know, you can ask me. Even gossip is fine; I know quite a lot.”

Wen Changling didn’t ask anything. She wasn’t so easily trusting of others.

Lunch ended.

Dai Qiu returned to her workstation and then answered a phone call. She went to the stairwell to talk: “Young Master Jiang.” The intelligent career woman’s eyes softened at this moment, revealing her charm.

She said to the person on the phone, “She’s all good.”

Another day passed, and more than forty-eight hours had elapsed since Qin Ke’s death—the golden window for solving the case. Finally, Zhang Qian brought back a new breakthrough.

“Captain Lin, we have a discovery,” Zhang Qian said, “Before moving to the Qin family, Wen Changling lived on Lotus Pond Street, and her landlord’s courtyard just happened to have a Hooked Cymbidium.”

The existence of that Hooked Cymbidium was peculiar. Since it’s poisonous, ordinary people would not normally grow it. The terrain on Lotus Pond Street wasn’t quite suitable for the growth of the Hooked Cymbidium, but it grew exceptionally well there and even bloomed, though its flowering was somewhat late.

Subsequently, Wen Changling was “invited” to the police station again. She came alone, without the lawyer recommended by Xie Shang, because it was unnecessary. That the Hooked Cymbidium on Lotus Pond Street would be investigated was within her expectations. Every member of the Qin family was a suspect, and of course, they would conduct a background check on her. Beyond that Hooked Cymbidium, there was nothing else to be found about her.

Lin Yaoping asked, “Why did you grow Hooked Cymbidium in the yard?”

Xie Shang had asked her the same question before.

“Because there are a lot of mosquitoes on Lotus Pond Street, and Hooked Cymbidium is a topical medicinal herb that can be used for insecticidal and anti-itch purposes.”

Lin Yaoping had seen all kinds of people in the interrogation room, and Wen Changling was one of the rare few who exhibited almost no micro-expressions, her eyes as still as a lake frozen in ice.

Strong-willed, with a robust psychological quality.

“Who from the Qin family has been to your previous residence?”

Wen Changling answered truthfully, “Qin Qi has been there, as have Old Lady Zhao, Qin Ke, and Shen Ru.”

The day after Qin Qi visited Granny Zhu bearing gifts, Qin Ke drove Old Lady Zhao and Shen Ru over for a visit too. Shen Ru, strutting like a dowager empress, only came to get a return gift.

“Your hometown is in Wind Town,” Lin Yaoping said. “The terrain there is quite suitable for the growth of Hooked Cymbidium, which must be common there.”

Wen Changling replied, “It is quite common.”

However, it was uncommon in the capital city. The one in Lotus Pond Street survived because she had put a lot of effort into it.

“Then do you know that Hooked Cymbidium is poisonous if taken internally?”

“I do.” Her voice was faint, calm, and her eyes seemed more docile. “Officer Lin, there’s something else I know, though I’m not sure if it’s related to this case.”

Lin Yaoping sat up straight, his hand resting on the table: “What is it?”

“Qin Ke and Shen Ru were having an affair.”

There had been money transfers between Qin Ke and Shen Ru, and there were photos on their cellphones; it was very simple to uncover their affair. Lin Yaoping said, “We know about this.”

But there are things you don’t know.

“On the night of the 20th, I went downstairs to get some water and overheard a conversation between Qin Ke and Shen Ru.”

That night, Qin Qi wasn’t home, he had gone night fishing with President Yan.

It was probably around one or two in the morning, Qin Ke and Shen Ru must have just finished being intimate. Qin Ke, for some reason, liked doing it in public places like the living room, outside, on the stairs, and so on.

Wen Changling had been having poor appetite recently, and it was no wonder since it wasn’t the first time he stumbled upon these two in flagrante delicto, this time on the living room table.

Shen Ru asked Qin Ke coquettishly, “Do you really love me or not?”

“Love, love, love, of course I love you.”

“Then why haven’t you divorced yet?”

“Divorce is not that easy, Wenhua wouldn’t agree, and if I sue for divorce, she would take half of my private property.”

Shen Ru hummed playfully and beat on the man’s chest, “Don’t think I don’t know, you don’t really have any private property; all the Qin family’s money is with your brother.”

“This villa is in my name,” said Qin Ke. “And if Wenhua also wants Xiao Nai’s custody, that would be even more troubling. Qin Qi had said before that he would give a share of his stocks to Xiao Nai in the future.”

Seeing no hope of a formal relationship, Shen Ru sounded extremely aggrieved with a crying tone, “What about me then? Are we just going to keep sneaking around forever?”

Wen Changling was upstairs.

The beast downstairs said, “Wenhua is in poor health and won’t live long. Once she’s gone, I’ll marry you.”

*****

Lin Yaoping didn’t detain Wen Changling for twenty-four hours; after finishing their discussion, he let her go.

Now everything made sense; the person Shen Ru wanted to poison was Liu Wenhua, adding Hooked Cymbidium flowers that resembled honeysuckle to the medicine. Liu Wenhua was already in poor health, and if she had been poisoned, as long as Qin Ke didn’t call the police, it would’ve gone undetected. Ironically, the drug laced with Hooked Cymbidium was mistakenly drunk by Qin Ke himself. However, Lin Yaoping felt the case was progressing too smoothly, and there were too many coincidences.

Lin Yaoping had requested an arrest warrant, but was a step too late. Shen Ru had left the Qin family without saying goodbye, disappearing without a trace.

Today was the weekend, and Mrs. Wang accompanied her daughter-in-law Ms. Ma to the Municipal People’s Hospital for a prenatal checkup.

Coming out of the doctor’s office, Mrs. Wang’s face blossomed with a smile, “It’s definitely a boy.”

Her daughter-in-law Ms. Ma’s face immediately dropped, “Mom, you’re not biased toward boys, are you?”

“Of course not,” Mrs. Wang naturally denied, “You’re having such severe morning sickness, just like when I was pregnant with Hong Guang.”

Ms. Ma pouted.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law pair walked for a while when Mrs. Wang suddenly stopped.

“Why have you stopped?” Ms. Ma also looked in the direction her mother-in-law was staring at, “What are you looking at?”

Looking at the commotion.

Heavens! Big news!!!

Mrs. Wang immediately took out her cell phone, “Madam Su.” She wasn’t very acquainted with Su Nanzhi, but they had each other’s numbers, “It’s me, Mrs. Wang.”

Su Nanzhi politely asked what was the matter.

Mrs. Wang was thrilled, “I accompanied my daughter-in-law for a pregnancy check, guess what I saw?!” She was as excited as if her own daughter-in-law was pregnant, “Your Xie Shang’s ex-girlfriend came to the gynecology and obstetrics department for a checkup.” Mrs. Wang had seen Xie Shang’s then-girlfriend Miss Wen at Dihong Hospital’s anniversary celebration before.

Mrs. Wang’s mouth really was like a giant loudspeaker.
