Chapter 448: 401 Wronged!

Walking out of the provincial Public Security Department building.

The police badge above shone brightly.

Shi Qianxi seemed to be dazzled by the afternoon sunlight, a bit unsteady.

Jiang Chen looked at her.

"I’m fine."

Shi Qianxi squeezed out a smile and slowly walked down the stairs.

The bodyguard opened the car door.

Even after she got into the car, Shi Qianxi was still somewhat distracted.

"Mr. Qu said that it was just a guess, he hasn’t concluded yet."

Jiang Chen spoke.

"But he’s a master detective, he’s never made a mistake, has he?"

Jiang Chen fell silent.

Although Qu Lei had not made a definitive statement, it was clear to everyone that the reason he left some room for doubt was not because he lacked confidence, but possibly—

to give the Shi family, or perhaps Shi Qianxi, some time to mentally prepare.

Even without one hundred percent certainty, the fact that Qu Lei dared to question Meng Jiye directly in front of Shi Qianxi indicated that in the detective’s eyes, Meng Jiye was already a serious suspect.

"Why would uncle do such a thing?"

Shi Qianxi murmured softly.

Jiang Chen wanted to say something but chose instead to remain silent.

He knew that with her cleverness, she couldn’t possibly be unaware of Meng Jiye’s motives; it was just too hard for her to accept.

"Let’s go back to the hotel first, you need to rest."

After a long while, Jiang Chen said.

On one side was her father, on the other, her uncle. An ordinary person probably couldn’t bear such a blow.

"I can’t rest now."

Shi Qianxi shook her head, her voice gentle, her gaze gradually focusing, turning from confusion to sharpness.

"To the hospital, his injuries should be almost healed by now, I want to pick him up from the hospital myself."

The motorcade entered People’s Hospital.

Shi Qianxi, with an expressionless face, exuded an aura of coldness that warned strangers not to approach. Taking the elevator up, she pushed open the door of the hospital room with a "bang".

Meng Meiling, who was talking with Meng Jiye, turned their heads.

"Qian Qian, weren’t you at the provincial Public Security Department attending a case discussion meeting? How did it go? Any new developments?" Meng Jiye asked with concern.

Following behind, Jiang Chen closed the door.

Shi Qianxi walked to the bedside and looked down at Meng Jiye lying on the bed, as if she didn’t hear his words.

"Uncle, do you know Yu Wenjie?"

"Who?"

"Yu, Wen, Jie."

Shi Qianxi enunciated each syllable.

"Who is that?"

Meng Jiye looked puzzled and confused.

"He’s the person who carried out a suicide bombing."

Shi Qianxi repeated, her gaze fixed unblinkingly on Meng Jiye, "Uncle, do you know him?"

Meng Jiye was startled, then said with disbelief, "How could I possibly know such a lunatic."

After a pause, he frowned and said, "Qian Qian, what do you mean by that?"

Meng Meiling also sensed her daughter’s unusual behavior and couldn’t help but glance at Jiang Chen.

It’s hard for an honest official to settle family quarrels.

In such a situation, naturally, Jiang Chen couldn’t speak rashly.

"Uncle, the hospital is not a good place, how much longer do you plan to lie here?"

Shi Qianxi did not answer but walked to the other side of the bed by herself.

"What do you mean ’how much longer do I plan to lie here’? Shouldn’t this kind of thing be up to the doctor?"

Meng Jiye couldn’t help but frown, seeming puzzled by his niece’s strange behavior.

"Heh."

Shi Qianxi laughed, her smile sharp and mocking.

"Qian Qian."

Meng Meiling called out in a warning tone.

Shi Qianxi ignored her, smiling, but her eyes were like flames flickering with coldness.

She stood on the other side of the bed.

"Uncle, just now Detective Qu told me a story about a perfect crime. Would you like to hear it?"

Meng Jiye couldn’t help but look at Meng Meiling, "Qian Qian, what’s the matter with you?"

Shi Qianxi still did not respond.

"Qu Lei said, a perfect crime is one where even if you know he’s the murderer, you can’t convict him. But I think, the perpetrator disguising himself as a victim is also a kind of perfect crime. Uncle, what do you think?"

"I don’t understand what you’re saying."

Shi Qianxi’s smile was unchanged.

"It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand. Mom, help Uncle pack his things, we’re checking him out of the hospital."

"Qian Qian!"

Meng Meiling spoke again, her tone becoming heavier.

Jiang Chen came over, joined her at her side, and said in a low voice, "Don’t be impulsive."

"Qian Qian, do you see how I am right now? Can I be discharged?

Indeed.

Meng Jiye’s leg was still in a cast.

Shi Qianxi bit her lip, seemingly at her limit. Her gaze fell on the cast on his left leg, and then she made a startling move.

She turned, picked up a vase next to her, and violently smashed it onto that leg.

"Bang!"

The ceramic vase shattered instantly.

Meng Meiling was stunned for a moment, utterly unprepared for her daughter’s sudden frenzy. She then stood up in shock and anger.

But before she could reproach her, Shi Qianxi began to laugh faintly.

"Mom, look, I told you, Uncle can be discharged."

Meng Meiling’s anger froze momentarily, following her daughter’s gaze to look down.

Jiang Chen also looked.

It wasn’t just the vase that was broken, but also the cast on Meng Jiye’s leg.

Plainly visible.

Under the cracked cast, the leg was intact, showing no sign of injury, even healthier than that of a normal person.

Meng Meiling looked up, facing her own brother.

The bed was a mess.

But Meng Jiye had no time to get angry, his expression slightly stiff, he awkwardly explained, "This is... a fracture..."

That’s also true.

Internal injuries often can’t be seen by the naked eye.

"Uncle, should I call the doctor now to check you again?"
