Chapter 300: The Murderer
Translator: Lonelytree
Mo Li was not going to waste more time on this farce. She returned to her class and her mind wandered to Mo Zheng’s surgery.
“It’s about time for the final exam so pay attention in class!” Old Crone Sun knew Mo Li was spacing out in her seat. She couldn’t help but remind Mo Li of the imminent exam. Mo Li ignored this woman. She passed 4 days at school in peace.
Finally, it was Friday. Before Mo Li even left the house, a familiar face came to visit her. “Mo Li, we suspect you are related to death due to a school bullying incident. Please come with us to the station to help with the investigation.” Mo Li looked at Xiao Rui in confusion. What school bullying? Ever since she transmigrated, the school had been spared from any sign of bullying.
“Ah!” Qiao Qing suddenly screamed as she glanced at her phone. “Li Li! The school forum…”
Hearing her scream and seeing Xiao Rui, Mo Yun who was leaving home to the company turned back. “What is happening?”
Seeing how nervous Mo Yun was, Qiao Qing cursed the man internally. I never saw him care about me that much. This is the difference between biological and step-sister. However, she still said, “Someone has released this post on the school forum. The poster said that Mo Li has forced a senior to kneel before her and even physically assaulted the senior.”
Mo Yun took out his phone and logged on to the school forum. He saw 2 pictures. One was a girl kneeling before Mo Li, the other was the girl laying on the ground as Mo Li sauntered away. The post came with a very descriptive story so everyone believed that Mo Li was a real school bully.
“So Deng Lin is dead?” Mo Li turned to Xiao Rui. Her question sounded more like a statement. Xiao Rui nodded. Despite the evidence, Xiao Rui also believed Mo Li wasn’t a murderer. “Come with us, tell us everything you know.”
At the station, Mo Li told the police everything that happened between her and Deng Lin that day.
“So she went to beg you for that jerk?” Xiao Rui scratched his chin. Chief Li had already given the order that the murderer couldn’t be Miss Mo Li. Plus Xiao Rui also didn’t believe Mo Li was capable of this.
“So how was the deceased found?” Mo Li asked. Despite Deng Lin’s mental state, Mo Li refused to believe the girl had committed suicide.
“I can answer that!” Kang Zhi raised his hand when he heard that. “When we arrived, the girl was already dead. Her mouth was choked full of white pills and her face was doused in red wine. Dr. Lu said that she died from an overdose.”
“Shush!” Xiao Rui glared at Kang Zhi. Does he still remember I’m his boss? Plus how can he reveal this information to a suspect?
“Boss, even though we didn’t find anything at the hotel, we did find something strange at Deng Lin’s home.” Si Lin nodded at Mo Li as she entered the room. Then she passed a picture to Xiao Rui. “This footprint clearly doesn’t belong to Deng Lin. Plus it’s bigger than a normal person.”
“Maybe the person was in a cast?” Kang Zhi offered.
“This person suffers from rocker bottom deformity.” Even though Mo Li hadn’t seen the picture, she came to this conclusion from their descriptions.
“Rocker bottom foot?” Xiao Rui lifted his eyes to look at Mo Li. Mo Li explained. “The deformity will cause the patient’s feet to get swollen. It’s a chromosomal hereditary disease. If it is serious, it might cause retardation and even congenital heart disease.
“This means that the hotel is not the first crime scene. She was dumped there.
“The cause of death should be the ketamine. They are a type of ecstasy. Deng Lin overdosed on them.” Those were the white pills mentioned by Kang Zhi earlier.
“Okay, I’ll go check if anyone near the victim has made a heavy purchase of ketamine recently.” Si Lin nodded and turned to leave.
“Wait a minute!” Xiao Rui and Mo Li said at the same time, but their reasons were different. Mo Li knew that sales of ketamine wouldn’t be shown on official records so she didn’t want Si Lin to waste her time.
Xiao Rui though was surprised that his people would follow Mo Li’s orders so readily.
“Si Lin, when did I give you the order to go?”
“But Miss Mo Li…” Si Lin stammered.. Previously, their boss had allowed them to follow Miss Mo Li’s instructions without any problem. Furthermore, Si Lin and Kang Zhi also believed Mo Li was not the murderer!
