Chapter 408: The Corpse in the Dorm

Translator: Lonelytree

A scream caused the Mo Family inside Mo Zheng’s ward to shiver. Qiao Qing lifted her head to look out the door. The sound insulation of the ward was very good, so the scream must have been extremely loud to reach their ears.

“What is going on? Go and look!” Jing Yao stood up worriedly. Mo Yun and Mo Li were about to rush out when Lu Xuan rushed in. He didn’t expect to see so many members of the Mo Family. He swallowed and kept his eyes on Mo Li. “I came to inform Mo Zheng to take good rest and watch his food intake. Starting from next week, we will start his physical rehab.”

Then Lu Xuan left in a hurry. Mo Li noticed the look Lu Xuan shot her. Lu Xuan came looking for her but since the rest of her family was around, he did not go into details. While the rest of her family went back to their own conversation, Mo Li excused herself to use the toilet and left the ward.

As expected, Mo Li saw Xiao Rui at the bottom of the hospital’s staff dorm. Mo Li walked over and heard Si Lin questioning the witness, “How did you find the victim?”

The person who called in the crime was a middle-aged woman around 30. She looked quite flustered. “I just finished my night shift. I lay down in bed and felt something drip down from the ceiling. The smell woke me up instantly. Because it was the smell of blood! I had no idea what was happening. I left my room and went upstairs to take a look. I found that the door was not closed. I pushed the door open and I found the body!”

The hospital staff dorm was close to Mo Zheng’s ward so the scream they heard earlier probably came from this middle-aged woman.

“Did you enter the room then?”

“No, I waited for the security guard to arrive. The guard entered the room. I followed behind him. We saw a female patient lying on the ground. The blood oozed out of her head and leaked out through the floor and onto the ceiling of my room. The guard told me that she was dead. We moved to verify her identity and found out she was a patient of our psychiatric department, Xiao Yang.”

“Are you familiar with Xiao Yang?”

“Not really, she is not my patient.”

The crime scene was the hospital staff dorm building of Pearl River First People Hospital. The victim was Yang Yue, 25 years old, a flight attendant.

The 1st floor of the dorm was commandeered by Xiao Rui to be a temporary command center. He gave out orders. The officers left the command center with their notes ready to carry out the investigation.

Qin Xuan was still handling some other cases so Mo Li worked together with Lu Xuan. They did not stay for Xiao Rui’s briefing but instead went to the crime scene to do their work.

They soon discovered something. Slipped right under the door was a string of small keys. They belonged to the victim, Yang Yue.

“The keys fell here, so the killer probably tailed the victim to this room. But wasn’t she a psychiatric patient? What was she doing at the staff dorm?” Mo Li turned to Lu Xuan to ask.

“Perhaps she had gotten the keys from one of the staff? So perhaps this Yang Yue is not as innocent as we thought.” Lu Xuan suggested. However, he hoped that was not the case because it would make things a lot more complicated.

Mo Li looked around the room and something immediately grabbed her attention. It was a wood carving. Wooden sculptures were a product of a craftsman’s years of experience, but this sculpture had been ruined by blood.

“Teacher, did you spy something?”

“What kind of wood do you think this is made of?” Mo Li picked up the carving and showed it to Lu Xuan.

“This carving looks ordinary to me, it should be willow or peach tree.” Lu Xuan was surprised that Mo Li was interested in wooden carving. Even though handmade wood carvings were a valuable art collection, based on Lu Xuan’s assessment, this particular wooden carving was not that valuable.

Mo Li was shocked. How did they manage to infiltrate the hospital? These people are remarkable… The dorm had only one bedroom and there was nothing unusual. Yang Yue lay prone in the middle of the bedroom.

Yang Yue wore a pair of soft slippers with her right face pressed against the floor. The blood pooled around the victim’s head. The victim’s long hair was matted with blood and covered her face.

The room was a mess. The cosmetic items and sundries were all on the ground. Mo Li noticed that there was no cell phone or wallet. “This does look like a robbery but what was the victim doing here?”

“Perhaps the victim was caught red-handed by the owner of this room? He tried to rape her for robbing him?” Xiao Rui’s voice rang at the door. Then Kang Zhi added, “But the victim is fully-dressed!
