Translator: Lonelytree
Xiao Rui launched into action. He imdiately called his team and arranged for reinforcent from the nearest police station.
Kang Zhi arrived at the island with blurry eyes. Lu Xuan also brought the autopsy tools for Mo Li. Si Lin sighed when she saw Xiao Rui’s dark face. Xiao Rui was supposed to go on this show for vacation but sothing like this happened. Anyone in his shoes would be unhappy.
An Wan was shocked when she saw Lu Xuan treat Mo Li so respectfully. She didn’t know her friend was a coroner too.
The police built a simple tent and Xiao Rui brought in a whiteboard. He posted several pictures on it. “These are the two victims. When they perished, everyone else is together and thus can be each other’s alibi.
“The first victim, Qian Yao, 24, debuted as an internet celebrity. She was known as sothing Lolita.”
Si Lin and Mo Li giggled listening to how Xiao Rui described Qian Yao, clearly, he was not familiar with the internet babes culture. “The next victim is Lin An, male, 32, internet drama director.”
Xiao Rui then pointed at the other pictures. These were his major suspects.
“Our main suspects are Zeng Jia, Zhu Wen, Jin Chuan, Chu Guang. Of course, we can’t forget about the staff too.” Xiao Rui turned to Kang Zhi to have him elaborate on the details.
“Zeng Jia, 26, best female actor of the Golden Flower Award, she is from the sa company as the male victim. She was at the campsite when the deaths happened.
“Gao Ding’s model, Jin Chuan, 29, male, has a slight manic disorder. Before Qian Yao debuted, they were a couple. But they broke up after Qian Yao beca famous. Was at the campsite when the deaths happened.
“Esports celebrity Chu Guang, 25, male, currently not affiliated with any company. He is involved in a lot of fluff news recently. Was at the campsite when the deaths happened.
“Other than these 3, Mo Li, An Wan, and boss were also at the campsite when the deaths happened. Including the staff, there were 64 people in total.”
“To not affect the filming process, we’ll have them take the interview in rotation. Rember, everyone is a suspect.” Xiao Rui made his arrangents and then looked at Mo Li and Lu Xuan. “Lin An’s body has been shredded, it’s difficult to identify him through appearance alone. So the forensic report is very important to confirm his identity. Xiao Kang, I need you to follow up on the progress of the forensic departnt. Keep us updated.”
At that mont, Zhu Wen’s voice ca from outside the door. “Captain Xiao, Mo Li, do you have ti to do an interview with ? I need so extra footage or else there’s nothing to edit!”
Xiao Rui frowned slightly as they were discussing sothing very important.?Who lets this woman so close to the police’s tent?
“Haven’t I said that nonpolice personnel is not allowed to co near this place? What are you people doing?” Xiao Rui turned to the officers posted outside the tent and he scolded sternly.
The officers didn’t give Xiao Rui any face. Even though Xiao Rui was the captain of the police team at Pearl River, they were not at Pearl River. They needed to rely on the local police so they didn’t appreciate Xiao Rui’s tone.
Kang Zhi knew a conflict was imminent. His boss would butt heads with the local police so Kang Zhi quickly stepped out to diate. “Okay, leave this matter to , boss. Don’t worry, I’ll settle this nicely. Miss Zhu, do you mind coming with ? I have sothing to ask you.” Seeing Xiao Rui’s expression darken, Kang Zhi quickly led the woman away.
“There’s no need, we’ll be questioning everyone in a few minutes. We’ll just start with you!”
Inside the tent, Mo Li searched on her phone information related to Flower Appraisal and then information on the snow chipper. The one they had on the island was a 4.2-ton portable industrial hamr-type shredder. According to the manufacturer’s website, the machine shouldn’t be powerful enough to shred a human being into pieces...
Xiao Rui noticed Mo Li’s confusion and said, “The machine is a hybrid that uses both portable diesel motor and electricity.”
“So it is functional even when the power is out?” Mo Li recalled hearing so buzzing right around the ti the power went down. Then she tried to rember everyone’s reaction. The program team said they didn’t know anything about the chipper. Qian Yao and Lin An probably didn’t expect the chipper to still be functioning after the power was off.
Mo Li was in deep thought as she pondered the nature of the electric buzzes. “Could they be cosmic noises?”
“What is that?” Xiao Rui heard this term for the first ti.
“It is a form of celestial or big bang radiation. It causes electromagnetic interference on our electronic devices.” Mo Li crossed her arms and explained, “In other words, the dium of transmission is not sound but electromagnetic waves!”
“You an sothing like cosmic microwave background?”
