Chapter 196: I’ll Vouch for Her

Translator: Lonelytree

Mo Li met Elder Zhang again at the morgue. Zhang Ling’s mother fainted when she heard the news, Zhang Ling’s father refused to believe it either. Most unexpectedly, Elder Zhang was the calmest of them all.

He turned to Mo Li with trembling hands. “Girl, from the way I saw you treat that boy that night, I know you’re not an ordinary person. You have to be skilled in medicine. Ling Er can’t be resurrected, but you have to help her to find her killer. I’ll leave Ling Er in your capable hands, cut her open if you need to! Consider this a favor to this old man. Help me find the killer or I won’t be able to die in peace.”

“Father, have you lost your mind? Ling Er is already dead, can’t you leave her body be?” Zhang Ling’s father was unable to accept Elder Zhang’s suggestion. He challenged him openly.

“Did you not see the horrible state Ling Er was in? I doubt she’s the only victim.. Even though there’s nothing on the news, I believe there are other similar cases!” Elder Zhang pushed his son away and turned to Mo Li like she was his savior.

Xiao Rui narrowed his eyes suspiciously at Elder Zhang. Elder Zhang had guessed everything correctly. Despite the severity of the cases, it had been kept away from the media. After all, the crimes were too extreme… So how did the old man know that there was more than one victim?

“Grandpa, you’re right, there’s another victim before Zhang Ling. Don’t worry, I’ll do my best to help them.” Mo Li turned to Xiao Rui. As a medical coroner, it was her responsibility to help the dead speak. She could not allow the victims to die soundlessly. Furthermore, this was such a strange case. There was a sick mind at work here. That person had to be captured for the sake of public safety.

However, Mo Li was also curious. Two people had died but the media had not said a word about this. Was there an info shutdown ordered by the government? But why?

“Are you sure you want to carry out the autopsy?” Xiao Rui asked Elder Zhang. According to his superior, the girl’s body was to be cremated without an autopsy. But Elder Zhang’s request had complicated things.

“I’m sure!” Elder Zhang nodded solemnly. When he turned to look at Mo Li, his eyes reddened again. His granddaughter was about Mo Li’s age. My dear Ling Er, why would someone do this to you? If I catch that bastard, I’ll snap his neck!

“Father, how about we make the decision after Xiao Hong wakes up? I prefer Ling Er’s body to be preserved in one piece.” Zhang Ling’s father basically shouted out his demand. He could not bear the idea of his daughter being slaughtered like an animal.

Lu Xuan glanced at Xiao Rui. “Well, what now? It is the victim’s family who personally requests my teacher to conduct the autopsy. You can’t stop her anymore, can you?”

Xiao Rui swept his gaze across the room. What is wrong with these people? Why are they placing their trust in a high school girl? Isn’t this Mo Li just a good for nothing wastrel? Or am I mistaken?

“She is still underage.” Xiao Rui cut off their hope instantly.

Lu Xian chuckled bitterly. How can I have forgotten about that? Even though Mo Li has an account on Sacred Heart, that doesn’t mean that she’s legally allowed to practice medicine. For the previous case, it was Quan Yu who sneaked Mo Li into the morgue and only a small part of the police force was involved. However, this time, Xiao Rui was clearly not going to let this slide.

This had all the makings of a big public case. The law enforcement would be pressured. They wouldn’t hand the autopsy over to an underage girl. Perhaps even Quan Yu couldn’t do anything this time.

With that thought in mind, Lu Xuan’s face carved with worry. Up until now, Mo Li hadn’t confirmed her real identity. Lu Xuan believed he would find out the truth after he worked beside Mo Li long enough but things were not going his way.

“Then, then what can we do?” When he heard Xiao Rui, Elder Zhang was immediately flustered.

“Grandpa, don’t worry. Doctor Lu Xuan is Pearl River’s best forensic doctor. Even without me, I’m sure he can help Zhang Ling find the truth.” Mo Li comforted. To be frank, she didn’t expect Xiao Rui to be so heartless. This was Elder Zhang’s desperate wish but he trampled on it easily.

While everyone frowned in disappointment, a voice suddenly came from the door. “What if this old man vouch for the girl?”
