You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 143

“Do you have any clue on this case now?” Bai Rong asked as she closed her notebook.

The waiter began to serve their meals as they talked.

“If I have a clue, I wouldn’t go all the way to ask for my senior’s help. I’m so confused now and I can’t see where this is leading to. But I have a deadline to meet, thanks to General An’s orders. This is mission impossible for me.” Mu Xiaosheng replied helplessly.

Bai Rong smiled comfortingly at his frustrated words. “Everything will work itself out eventually. Let’s visit the crime scene after we finish eating. Is that fine?”

“Should be fine, since it’s official business. I’ll make a call to the chief of police later; he must be under greater pressure than myself. I expect Mr. Song to not be at home around this time. Things will be easier without him around.” Mu Xiaosheng replied.

“Why will it be easier without him?” Bai Rong blurted nonchalantly.

“Nobody likes their home to be ransacked by some random stranger, be it for business purposes or not.”

“Oh, I thought his character is hard to handle.” Bai Rong suddenly recalled that pregnant woman she met on the plane. “Does An Qi have any children?”

“Yes, a son, also working in Gu Mingchen’s base. He should be a lieutenant or something. He had rushed right back after his mother’s death.” Mu Xiaosheng replied.

Bai Rong nodded in understanding. She did not inquire any further on Gu Mingchen’s family members and relatives. It was none of her business anyway.

It was still raining cats and dogs with no signs of stopping even after they finished their fulfilling dinner.

The police chief sent 3 of his most capable cops to accompany Bai Rong and Mu Xiaosheng to the crime scene.

It was only then did Bai Rong find out that An Qi stayed in the same area as Gu Mingchen, Su Xuyan and Su Zheng.

The rain was still very heavy, hence the girl was unavoidably wet even with the umbrella.

The first thing that greeted them at the main door was a nicely designed porch. On the steps of the porch, a dozen sets of disposable shoe covers were neatly arranged beside an umbrella stand.

“The porch is nicely designed. Which company’s work is it?” Bai Rong asked.

“Not done by any company. It was designed by Mr. Song himself.” The housemaid answered respectfully.

Bai Rong turned to Mu Xiaosheng, who smiled in reply, “Mr. Song is indeed a man with great attention to detail.”

“He is a man with acute observation skills and is careful with his work; He’s a kind and easygoing gentleman, yet he’s also a perfectionist in his work. As a charming man possessing great EQ and holding a high-ranking position, Mr. Song must be a man greatly favored by young girls.” Bai Rong deduced.

“Yes, the young lady is right! Mr. Song is indeed just like how you’ve described!” The housemaid replied in surprise.

“Wow! That’s awesome! How did you do that? I could only deduce he’s a detailed person, but you can manage to get so much out of these!” Mu Xiaosheng wowed in admiration.

“I deduced from the design of the porch, and the intuition of a woman.” Bai Rong replied while putting on the shoe covers.

The maid opened the door for them.

Gu Mingchen was also there. He was sitting on the sofa with a cigarette between his fingers. Through the smoke, the chief turned to look at Bai Rong, his expression blurred and unreadable.

Right behind him stood 2 soldiers and across him sat a young man with a certain likeness to him. Bai Rong guessed that must be An Qi’s son.

The maid approached Gu Mingchen and bowed before reporting, “Young Master Gu and Young Master Song, the cops have arrived.”

Song Yi turned to Bai Rong with reddened eyes. “Please find out the murderer as soon as you can.”

Bai Rong remained quiet while Mu Xiaosheng answered with a smile, “We’ll try our best.”

The moment he landed his eyes on Gu Mingchen, the psychologist was momentarily stunned in recognition.
