Chapter 389: Body Parts

The only answer was the wife’s silence. No matter how Xiao Rui pressed, the couple refused to speak. Mo Li was surprised. Just what had Flower Appraisal promised these people that they would remain silent no matter what.

Xiao Rui sat there with a gloomy expression. He too couldn’t figure out what Flower Appraisal wanted. Their target group was very vague too. There was no telling whom their next target would be.

“If they really plan to kill according to the Five Elements, then the next victim will have the element of Wood too. The killer went after 2 female celebrities so based on habits, the killer would go for another female prostitute or streetwalker born in the year of Wood.” Xiao Rui nodded along to Mo Li’s analysis. Then he turned to Kang Zhi. “Find out where Liao Yao works and see if any of her colleagues is born in the year of Wood.” What kind of person was behind this that they could keep their trace so completely covered?

Mo Li was confused. There must be something that they had overlooked. If the killer was killing according to the 5 elements, there had to be a clue they missed. With that in mind, Mo Li pulled Qin Xuan to the refrigeration room. This was the place everyone acknowledged to be the most terrifying at the station. The storage was always full until the funeral parlor sent people over to clear out the ‘guests’.

It was an old uncle guarding the refrigeration room. When he saw Mo Li, he greeted her kindly, asking her if she was afraid or not. Qin Xuan swallowed. This was his first time here too. Since Mo Li didn’t say anything, Qin Xuan had to press on. He said evenly, “Afraid, what is there to be afraid of? We are both coroners and these are just dead bodies!”

The workload at Pearl River couldn’t be compared to a normal school. Even though this was only his internship, Qin Xuan had to visit 3 crimes scenes, dissect 1 carcass every day. Before meeting Mo Li, Qin Xuan spent his time moving between the classroom, the dorm, the morgue, and the crime scenes. However, Mo Li’s arrival had added much-needed light and interest to Qin Xuan’s working life.

Before Mo Li found Li Min and Qi Yan’s bodies, there was a call. “The killer appears to be working overtime. There are body parts found at Jiang Bin Road.”

Soon Qin Xuan drove to the crime scene. Jiang Bin Road was blocked off. The traffic police cordoned off the path. Xiao Rui’s car was parked by the roadside. The pedestrians pointed here and there. Pearl River was not that peaceful lately, there was so much death.

The person who discovered the body parts was a cleaner who was cleaning Jiang Bin Road. She spotted the bags when she was clearing out the trash cans. She grumbled about people’s lack of decency to categorize rubbish as she undid the bag. When she saw the cut chest, she almost fainted. The cleaner got up and called the police.

At this moment, the police were salvaging the body parts along Jiang Bin Road. In this case, the more body parts they discovered, the more clues they would have. However, Pearl River was a big city, it was hard to find the body parts. Plus Jiang Bin Road was next to a large river, which made the salvage work more difficult.

Mo Li looked into the bag. She recognized a female’s right breast and pectoral muscles. The parts had been soaked white. The cut surface was very neat. The adipose tissue and muscles had become pale. These soft tissues didn’t offer much clue other than that.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd. Mo Li and Qin Xuan turned around.

“Who is over that? Why the noise?” Kang Zhi walked over and was ambushed by the media.

“We are from Entertainment Frontline. We heard that Miss Mo Li is here. May we know what happened?”

“We are from News Online. Will this case pose a threat to ordinary citizens?”

“If Miss Mo Li is here, can you get here to come out and answer a few questions? We need to get her opinion on Mr. Luo’s scandals.”

“Miss Mo Li is just a young girl but she is already working for the police force? Can the professionalism of the law enforcement still be trusted?”

The overwhelming questions swallowed Kang Zhi. He coughed. “Miss Mo Li is not here. If you have any questions, please refer to our external communications department. We are currently working on a case. Please do not disturb us.”

Kang Zhi gestured for the officers to dismiss the media people. However, there was a question on his mind. The fact that Mo Li is a coroner’s consultant should be a secret so how did these people find out?
