Chapter 202: Leak
Translator: Lonelytree
At first, everyone thought Mo Li was just there for show but now they wondered how she managed to keep so many esoteric information in her mind.
Xiao Rui touched his chin with disbelief. Regardless, they still had 2 important details to solve regarding this case. “The killer’s motive and mo as well as their identity are still unclear.”
Unclear, was a kind way to put it. For the first case, the target was probably Quan Yu; but for the second case, the 3 victims, Tian Miao, Zhang Ling and Wei Lan didn’t know each other and they didn’t know Quan Yu. However, these 2 cases were indeed tied. The blood of the victims from the 1st case was found in front of the school of the victims from the 2nd case.
“To know more, we have to head into the school. It’s already 1 am. We’ll sleep at the hospital. At dawn, we’ll depart to 22 High School immediately..” Xiao Rui told Mo Li.
“We?” Mo Li frowned. She still had school tomorrow. Plus when did Xiao Rui plan to allow her to be on the case?
“It was you who requested to be the forensic assistant. You’ll find a way to request leave from school. Plus, 3 girls have already lost their lives, don’t you feel indebted to them?”
“Death is a natural way for a society to self-regulate itself. Furthermore, finding the murder is your job, my job is to provide support from the lab and morgue.” Mo Li said evenly. However, it caused Xiao Rui to explode. He roared at Mo Li, “What is it that you said? So you mean it’s natural for those girls to die? So the killer is doing God’s work? You are just a high school girl, what do you know about how the society works? Is this what you learn at school? Then there’s truly no point for you to attend school!”
Xiao Rui’s roar woke everyone up. Xiao Rui glared angrily at Mo Li. He knew that Mo Li was cold-blooded but he didn’t expect it was to such an extent. No wonder she doesn’t show any concern when Qiao Qing was poisoned. She is a heartless monster!
“You are not wrong. I didn’t mean to blaspheme the dead, or glorify the killer. It is merely that my occupation requires me to detach myself from emotions. I promise you that I will accompany you to 22 High School tomorrow. But you need to calm down. Mood swings will cloud your judgement.” Mo Li was conflicted herself. She took on the first case to clear her name but what about this second case? It was because Elder Zhang had begged her to.
However, in her past life, Mo Li had never been affected by emotions before. She did her job because it was her job and not because the victims’ family pleaded her to. Mo Li was certain that if this happened in her past life, she wouldn’t be affected by Elder Zhang’s pleas so why the change now?
Throughout the night, everyone was cautious, afraid that the 2 might quarrel again.
It was around 5 am when Lu Xuan pushed Qiao Qing out from the operating theatre. “The toxin has been neutralized. She’ll probably wake up in the morning.”
Xiao Rui sighed in relief. Unlike Mo Li, he had a good impression of Qiao Qing. Even though Qiao Qing was the adopted daughter, after a few interactions, Xiao Rui observed that Qiao Qing made a more deserving young miss of the Mo Family compared to Mo Li. Qiao Qing had that natural grace and nobility that Mo Li lacked.
After the family was notified, they had a simple breakfast at the hospital. At 7.30 am, they exited the hospital. Kang Zhi was about to get the car when the reporters surrounded them.
“Can we have a few comments?”
“We hear that 2 people have died before the young miss of the Wei Family. Why haven’t the police release the news about that?”
“How will the police solve this case? Can you give us a rough idea?”
“We hear that the criminal specifically target high school girls. Is that true?”
…
Kang Zhi turned to stare at Xiao Rui behind him in a daze. He clearly didn’t expect the matter would be leaked so soon.
“The police need to return justice to my daughter! My Lan Lan was such a promising student. But she was killed so cruelly!” It was Mother Wei who brought the media to the hospital, she intended to use them to add pressure on the law enforcement. “You and you! You have to bring the killer to justice or my Lan Lan will never rest in peace!”
Mother Wei did look sad but Mo Li felt like Mother Wei was sadder about the waste of the resource she had spent on Wei Lan rather than the death of Wei Lan itself.
