Chapter 433: Blood
“Perhaps the killer ca with the intention to daze and then slice the victim’s neck. They ca prepared…”
“But the killer has to be extrely professional to deliver such neat and accurate cuts around the neck.” Mo Li put down the chopsticks and looked at Xiao Rui. Just as Xiao Rui was about to add to the conversation, Mo Li and Xiao Rui’s phones rang at the sa ti. They read the ssage and then instantly shared a look.
“You got it too?”
Mo Li sighed helplessly. “Since you got it, naturally I wouldn’t be left behind. However, Miss Lu sure knows how to pick a location. Her venue has very good Feng Shui.”
Xiao Rui didn’t know what to say. He had been working day and night, trying to solve cases but on top of that, the young misses at Pearl River kept hounding him.
“If you ask , the girl’s goal is not you but your younger brother.” After all, Xiao Yuan was Quan Yu’s good friend. Quan Yu had returned to the capital so Xiao Yuan was his only link at Pearl River.
Qin Xuan was confused by the duo’s conversation, he had no idea what they were talking about at all. He thought they were discussing the case so he took out his phone to check the team chat, but there was no new update. “What are you two talking about? How co I didn’t receive anything?”
“It’s the invitation from the Lu Family. You haven’t received it?” Xiao Rui showed Qin Xuan his phone and then he added with an apology. “Oh wait, I forgot. You’re not from a wealthy family.”
Qin Xuan pouted when he heard that. His family was squarely in the middle class. However, since Qin Xuan worked so close with Mo Li and Xiao Rui, he almost forgot that the two ca from very unique family backgrounds. They were different from common people like him.
Xiao Rui pulled back his phone and said, “The victim had changed into his slippers, which ans that he was not that guarded around his killer.”
“But there is no trace of a second person at his ho.” Qin Xuan thought about it, “Was the killer wearing gloves?”
Xiao Rui rolled his eyes at Qin Xuan.?Is he not using his brain??“Do you think Li Hui would not notice if his guest was walking around with a pair of gloves? Besides, the weather is not cold enough to warrant soone walking around with gloves. It would have raised so questions. Furthermore, if the killer did wear gloves, where are the gloves now?”
The questions poured out. Qin Xuan had no answer but he did have another question, “Perhaps the killer only put on the gloves after they killed the victim to search the house?”
“But the cri scene doesn’t have the sign of being searched.”
The questions made the case even more confusing. The trio did not know what to say.
Xiao Rui suddenly stood up. “I have to go visit a friend. Later Kang Zhi will co to fetch you two and bring you to the bureau to attend the analysis and report eting of the Special Task Force.” Xiao Rui then left hurriedly.
When Kang Zhi dropped Mo Li and Qin Xuan off at the bureau, the people from the traffic departnt ca. They discovered Ah Ao hanging around the bar. They had no idea who Ah Ao was but they saw him going around with Mo Li and his car was black.
The traffic police checked the brake of Luo Cong’s car. The brake was completely destroyed so it was impossible to tell if soone had purposely tampered with it or if it was a pure accident.
The police also found the black car used by Mo Li and Ah Ao that night. Of course, all the prints had been wiped. Even though the black car was normally used by Ah Ao, there was no proof that Ah Ao was related to the accident. Despite the police’s suspicion, they couldn’t pin anything on Ah Ao. All they could do was to ask Mo Li to request Ah Ao to co to the station to help with the investigation. Ah Ao did.
After a whole week, the traffic police had no choice but to deem the incident as a DUI case. Luo Cong was detained for 15 days and he had to pay for Lu Ke’s psychological damage and the damage done to the construction site.
When the verdict was given, Luo Cong’s face was distorted. Combine that with the scars on his face, he looked even more terrifying. He scread that he was innocent but no one was willing to believe him. There was no proof of his innocence either. Luo Cong had many ‘friends’ but when he needed it, no one was coming to vouch for him.
…
On the other hand, Mo Li did not get much from the task force eting. Her train of thought was muddled. The only thing she knew was the killer was soone the victim knew. The police had decided to focus their investigation on the people at the victim’s gym and the people he might have t on his way back ho from the gym.
Other than that, they still had no idea why there were 2 murder weapons. Were there 1 or 2 killers?
Mo Li couldn’t sleep as she lay in bed. She simulated Li Hui’s death in her mind. As Qin Xuan said, Li Hui was attacked at the door and then the fight dragged to the living room. That was reasonable.
However, there was a glaring problem. The victim’s aorta was severed. There should be more blood at the cri scene. So why wasn’t there?
