Chapter 434: The Night Scare

Mo Li lay on the bed, tossing and turning. She could not fall asleep because there was a lot on her mind. The main question was, how many killers were there?

If there was only one killer, then they would have left behind some traces at the crime scene. Mo Li thought of the heavy curtains at the crime scene and she shook her head. There was no blood trace near any of the light switches. The victim’s aorta had been cut so the blood would have squirted on the killer. However, there was no sign of blood being cleaned in the kitchen or toilet. Could a single killer really be that efficient?

The phone suddenly rang and it shocked Mo Li. It was a call from Xiao Rui. “My guess is you’re still awake. You’re thinking about the case like I am, yes?”

“Indeed. I was thinking about what Qin Xuan said. If the killer searched the victim after killing him, then they would have to put on gloves, right?”

“Yes, but the gloves would be bloody after the killer searched through the body. The lights were off when we arrived at the scene so the killer must have switched off the light before they left. There was no fingerprint so the killer must have closed it with the gloves on but there is no blood trace on the light switch either.”

“Well, that is easy. When the killer searched through the body, the blood would only be left on the palms. They could use the back of the glove to switch off the lights.”

Mo Li nodded. That was a reasonable deduction.

“After the body is transported to the forensic center, Qin Xuan and I will look through it further to see if there are signs that his clothes have been searched. Perhaps that can give us the killer’s motive.”

Xiao Rui, who was on the other end of the phone, could not help but frown. “Are you really Mo Li?” The Mo Li that he knew since he was young was entitled and domineering. She was also blood sick. She was more likely to use a knife to threaten others than to help others.

When she heard that, Mo Li didn’t say anything. People had been asking her that question. “If you believe I am Mo Li, then I am Mo Li. If you believe I am not Mo Li, even if I say I am Mo Li, you will not believe me.” Mo Li’s voice was soft, she was tired of defending herself.

Xiao Rui was expecting a more explosive reaction but he didn’t get one so he changed the subject. “In any case, I don’t think Li Hui is Flower Appraisal’s target. However, it is worth noting that he was once in the same school as the IT teacher, Tao Si.”

“Do you think she’ll tell us anything about Li Hui?” Mo Li sighed after asking that question. The police were still detaining Tao Si because the woman was really strange. Her behavior was so different from that of a normal person.

“That’s unlikely, until now, she has not given us anything.” There was a beep and Xiao Rui said, “The body has arrived. You can go check it tomorrow morning.”

Mo Li did not follow Xiao Rui’s advice. Instead, she appeared in the freezer room with Qin Xuan, who was in his pajamas, in the middle of the night. The freezer was at least 30 meters away from the morgue but the freezer had an allotted space for quick examination of the bodies.

Mo Li greeted the guard and the senior guard was once again impressed by Mo Li.

The freezer room’s shutter door creaked noisily and the lights inside were turned on. Mo Li and Qin Xuan walked into the room and found the cabinet that held Li Hui’s body. They pulled the man out and carefully checked his clothes and looked through his pockets.

Suddenly, the lights in the freezer room went off. They were dropped in pitch blackness. Qin Xuan was frightened because he was still holding Li Hui’s cold and stiff hands.

Mo Li was very calm. She knew the guard wouldn’t hear them since the freezer had good sound insulation. She took out her phone and switched on the flashlight. She decided to push Li Hui back into the cabinet first. However, at that moment, the shutter door rumbled again. The two of them were trapped inside the pitch-black freezer room.

Qin Xuan’s mind went blank. He mumbled under his breath. “There is no ghost in this world.” But who was the one who closed the shutter door? At the thought of that, the hair on his body stood on end. The sound of the many cabinets hummed and Qin Xuan almost fainted. “Mo-Mo Li, don’t be afraid…. I-I have a flashlight with me…”

Qin Xuan’s nerves were pulled taut. The corpse was right beside him but he couldn’t see it clearly. His nostrils were filled with the smell of refrigeration liquid.

He stood there in a daze, watching Mo Li’s movement. He was too scared to move. After some unknown period of time, the lights came on again. The shutter door creaked and Xiao Rui’s teasing voice came from the door. “Kid, didn’t you tell me that coroners are supposed to be fearless? Fortunately, you are man enough to know to protect the girl.”
