Chapter 390: Media Blocking the Door
“Captain, we’ve found a bag but we don’t know what’s inside!” An officer shouted. Mo Li and Qin Xuan hurried over. They saw the officer hook a plastic bag from the drain. They opened the bag and the excitement drained away. The bag contained the other breast. In a dismemberment case, soft tissues were useless. They needed bones.
As the sky darkened, so did the hope of finding bones. It seemed like they had reached a dead end.
“You should go back first. I’ll call you if there’s any new discovery.” The salvage team was settling down. They were getting back on land. Xiao Rui knew the work was done for the day.
On the way back, Qin Xuan felt quite helpless. He looked at Mo Li. “Mo Li, what should we do now? Pearl River is so large and Jiang Bin Road is so long. We are not expected to drain the whole river and look through every garbage can, are we?”
Mo Li looked at Qin Xuan and asked, “Normally, what role can we play in such a case?”
“Erm… We should find the rest of the body to narrow down the scope.” Having said that, Qin Xuan didn’t think it was possible. Even though DNA technology was very mature now, there were so many people at Pearl River. Plus DNA was just a reference, it couldn’t be used to search for criminals or victims. Because he knew that, so he didn’t know what to do next. Qin Xuan believed Mo Li felt the same way.
Back at the station, they dealt with the body part and then called Lu Xuan. Lu Xuan was overseas attending a symposium. He was not expecting something like this to happen at Pearl River.
Even though three body parts had been found, they had to be separated. It couldn’t be confirmed that they belong to the same person until the DNA test was done. After doing the procedure, Qin Xuan took some soft tissue samples to the lab.
Looking at the time, Mo Li told Qin Xuan a few words and she left. She took Ah Ao’s car home. When they arrived at the Mo Family’s old home, they saw a large crowd at the door. Mo Li frowned.
“You are Miss Mo Li’s grandfather, right? Elder Mo, what is the Mo Family’s opinion regarding Miss Xiao Yue’s recent statement?”
“Haven’t the Mo Family and the Luo Family broken up many years ago? Is the engagement between the two still ongoing?”
“Don’t you feel guilty for not helping the Luo Family when they were down?”
“I heard it was the Luo Family who canceled the engagement. Is there a chance for reconciliation?”
“Miss Xiao Yue said she was being coerced by others into doing the things she did. Do you agree with that?”
Bombarded by these questions, Elder Mo’s face darkened. Old Madam Mo didn’t say anything and continued to walk ahead.
If Elder Mo hadn’t retired, he would ban these trashy publications! What if Mo Li is here, she will be so heartbroken hearing these ridiculous accusations!
If not for Xiao Yue’s nonsensical actions and word, they wouldn’t be in this state. Old Madam Mo’s impression of the Xiao Family worsened by the days.
“I heard that Miss Mo Li is throwing herself at Luo Cong to win him back. Is that true?” When he heard that, Elder Mo stopped in his tracks. He turned to glare at the reporter who asked that question. His gaze was terrifying, the reporter shivered.
“What did you just say? My sweetie needs to do that to win back Luo Cong?” Facing Elder Mo, the reporter’s tongue was tied, he was unable to speak. Is Elder Mo normally this terrifying? It is like he is a different person from earlier.
“Who gave you people the courage to spout this nonsense at my house? Who is the Luo Family to come to stick themselves to us? If your publication doesn’t want to receive a lawyer’s letter, then watch what you write. If I find out you’re writing nonsense, then be warned.”
Elder Mo’s warning worked. After all, the Mo Family had quite a powerful position in the media industry. If they wanted to, every one of them could lose their job tomorrow.
…
I didn’t expect Xiao Yue’s words to be so effective. These people are like flies smelling shit. This is quite interesting.
Ah Ao glanced at Mo Li. “Madam Boss, how about we move to the countryside villa?”
Mo Li shook her head. As long as it was within the Mo Family’s estate, these people would find her. However, she couldn’t return home now to add trouble to her family.
Mo Li decided to call her friend, An Wan. An Wan picked up and Mo Li was surprised to find An Wan’s voice shaking.
