Chapter 205 I'm Really Not a Detective
Over the years, Gu Qing had long been used to being pressured by her family to get married.
However, she had never felt anything when she encountered this situation before, and she was too lazy to even say a word of refusal.
But for some reason, after hearing her grandfather's words, she suddenly felt a tingling sensation all over her body.
She stole a glance at Li Yi beside her, and when she saw his young and handsome face, the tingling feeling all over her body became even more pronounced.
Gu Qing quickly took a deep breath, afraid that others would notice her abnormality, "Alright, Xiao Li really has something to do today, so don't bother him."
Li Yi wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that the way Old Master Gu looked at him was a little strange.
After Gu Qing spoke, he quickly nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, Grandpa, I really have something to do today. We can talk about dinner next time."
No matter how much Old Master Gu tried to persuade him to stay, Li Yi refused.
Left with no other choice, he could only have Gu Qing personally escort the person back.
After leaving the sanatorium, Li Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then couldn't help but exclaim, "Sister Gu, your grandfather is so enthusiastic, I almost couldn't handle it."
Gu Qing, who was driving, froze upon hearing this.
She glanced at Li Yi secretly, and after realizing that he was just saying it casually, she blushed and explained, "Xiao Li, don't overthink it. He's just been in the sanatorium for too long, so he's a little agitated."
Li Yi nodded upon hearing this.
As a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine, he could understand the psychology of a patient who had been ill for a long time.
So, after hearing Gu Qing's explanation, he didn't think much of it. "Sister Gu, you're quite busy with work. I'll just take a taxi home myself."
"It's alright, it won't take much time."
More than forty minutes later.
Gu Qing personally drove Li Yi back to the beauty salon.
As soon as the car stopped, the two saw a middle-aged woman in her forties standing at the entrance of the beauty salon, arguing fiercely with Sun Min.
"Strange! Could it be that someone is causing trouble in the store?"
Looking at the scene in front of the beauty salon, Li Yi frowned and quickly got out of the car.
Seeing this, Gu Qing also got out of the car.
"Brother Li, you're back just in time!"
Sun Min, standing at the gate, saw Li Yi getting out of the car and her eyes lit up.
Then, before he could even ask, the other person pointed to the middle-aged woman in front of him and said, "This lady just came over and insisted on looking for you. No matter how I explained it to her, she wouldn't listen."
Li Yi was taken aback upon hearing this, and then immediately looked at the middle-aged woman in front of him.
The other person had an average appearance and looked like an ordinary person based on their clothes and appearance. They didn't seem like a customer who came to the beauty salon.
More importantly, Li Yi didn't know the other party at all.
"Ma'am, what can I do for you?"
The middle-aged woman looked at the young Li Yi with a hint of surprise on her face, then asked hesitantly, "Are you the only male technician in this beauty salon?"
"That's right! I'm the only male technician in our shop." Li Yi nodded.
"Great! I've finally met you! Dr. Li..."
After Li Yi admitted it, the middle-aged woman quickly began to explain.
It turns out that the middle-aged woman in front of you is named Guo Hui, and she has a daughter named Liu Caixia.
The mother and daughter had always depended on each other for survival.
However, two days ago, Liu Caixia suddenly passed away unexpectedly.
After investigation, the police concluded that the daughter's death was a suicide.
Guo Hui did not believe this conclusion at all.
Unfortunately, the police had already closed the case, and no matter how much she protested, they were unwilling to reopen the investigation.
So she came to the beauty salon, hoping that Li Yi could help her daughter overturn the verdict.
"Dr. Li, my daughter is perfectly fine. There's no way she could have committed suicide. Please, I beg you, you must help my daughter get justice."
After hearing Guo Hui's explanation, Li Yi was both amused and exasperated. "Sister, I sympathize with your situation, but I'm just a technician. There's nothing I can do to help with this."
"How could I not be able to help? Dr. Li, I heard you just solved a serial murder case not long ago. Dr. Li, my daughter was definitely murdered. Please, you must help me!"
Upon hearing this, Li Yi finally understood why Guo Hui had insisted on coming to find him.
"Big sister, the last case was all just luck. I really don't know how to solve cases..."
Seeing Guo Hui's distressed expression, Li Yi couldn't refuse outright. "How about this," he said, "I know a few police officers from the Criminal Investigation Department. They are quite capable and have good character."
I'll call him right now and tell him about your daughter's situation, so he can help me investigate again.
"No!"
Upon hearing this, Guo Hui shook her head. "I don't trust the police, I only trust you. Dr. Li, I'll kowtow to you..."
As she spoke, she began to kneel down on the ground.
Seeing this, Li Yi quickly reached out to support the woman, saying, "Big sister, you mustn't! You absolutely mustn't!"
"Waaah~ Doctor Li, I really have no other way, please, you must help me..."
"Sigh! What a mess this is."
Seeing Guo Hui crying so heartbrokenly, Li Yi was momentarily at a loss.
The last serial murder case was just pure luck.
I'm just a technician, how could I possibly solve any cases?
However, Guo Hui's current state is indeed heartbreaking to see.
After thinking for a moment, Li Yi had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Well then, Sister Guo, I'll contact a friend right now and go take a look at your daughter's case. If it can really help, I'll do my best."
"That's wonderful! Dr. Li, you'll be our family's benefactor from now on."
As Guo Hui spoke, she bent down and knelt on the ground again.
Li Yi couldn't let her kneel down like that. "Alright, Sister Guo, get up quickly. Let's hurry up and go check on your daughter's case."
Hearing this, Guo Hui finally calmed down.
I'm just a traditional Chinese medicine technician; I have absolutely no right to investigate cases.
Therefore, Li Yi planned to call Luo Peng first and ask him to take him there so they could see what was going on with Guo Hui's daughter's case.
Seeing Li Yi take out his phone to make a call, Gu Qing immediately guessed what he was thinking. "Xiao Li, there's no need to call Xiao Luo. I'll just take you there."
Li Yi was taken aback when he heard this, but when he thought of the old man Gu he had met at the sanatorium today, he immediately nodded.
Gu Qing's family background is quite extraordinary, and the other party is also a forensic doctor, who knows the case-solving process better than I, an outsider.
If the other party comes along, that would be much more convenient.
"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Sister Gu."
