Chapter 199: Qiao Qing

Translator: Lonelytree 

Wei Lan, she was a guest at the party thrown by the Mo Family several weeks ago. She was the child genius of the Wei Family. She was so alive back then.

In her previous life, Mo Li formed no connection and she had never performed autopsy on people she knew. This whole experience was strange for her.

Perhaps to preserve Wei Lan’s body, a black waterproof tarp was placed over Wei Lan. Mo Li squatted down to examine Wei Lan. Her death was gruesome. Her eyes were badly sewn together and her face was covered in blood.

Wei Lan probably struggled until the last moment so the ground was dyed a deep red. Despite the rain, the smell of blood was strong. “Rigor mortis hasn’t settled yet, so she probably hasn’t been dead for long..” Qin Xuan observed.

Walking around the body, Mo Li took several pictures of Wei Lan. Then she put down the camera and reported, “This is the coroner’s initial report. The victim, aged 16, is presumed to be dead around 7.30 pm on August 17th. The cause of death is heart failure and massive bleeding. Her body hasn’t been moved so we are probably at the first crime scene.”

In other words, Wei Lan was assaulted the night before. Mo Li had not seen Wei Lan after the party, she didn’t even know Wei Lan remained in Pearl River.

“I believe the killer put the uniform on post mortem.” Mo Li noticed the uniform was one size too small for Wei Lan. Wei Lan also had a long cut across her abdomen. However, there was no blood coagulation reaction so the cut was done post mortem. Mo Li also noted that some of Wei Lan’s internal organs had leaked out through the cut and they were dumped in a rubbish bin not far away.

Mo Li looked around and realized she didn’t have much evidence to collect. Most of the sins had been washed away by the heavy rain.

Soon more officers arrived at the scene. Lu Xuan was the chief medical examiner but he handed all the responsibility and power to Mo Li.

One of Xiao Rui’s team members was still dressed in full uniform even though it was already nighttime. The crowd naturally mistook him for a high-ranking officer. “Sir! You must be the criminal desk leader! Who killed this poor girl? Do you have any comments?”

The kid was about to say something when the real leader, Xiao Rui called his name, “Kang Zhi, what are you doing there? Go and take down the statement of the witness who called in the crime!” Then Xiao Rui turned his other team member, “Si Lin, I need you to look into the victim’s relationship. The day is ending so just focus on her family. The rest of you, continue to examine the crime scene!”

Kang Zhi nodded. He took out an interesting looking pen from his bag. The pen had the sticker of Mikoto Misaka, a popular female anime character.

The female officer called Si Lin walked over and Xiao Rui frowned immediately. “Don’t eat too much junk food at night! The smell of food on you is even heavier than the blood!”

Si Lin straightened herself and reported rather awkwardly, “Boss, you got it wrong this time! The smell didn’t come from me. It came from the witness.”

Xiao Rui rolled his eyes. This girl always talked back to him. “The witness is standing right there with Kang Zhi, what are you talking about?” The witness didn’t carry any food.

Si Lin shook her head and whispered, “Boss, I’m not talking about that witness. When we arrived, a girl flagged me down. She told me that her friend has gone missing at Pearl River. We now have a missing person case. The fragrant came from the things she was holding. Honestly, they do smell quite delicious.”

“Fine, you can handle her case then! Can’t you see how busy everyone else is?!” Xiao Rui said with impatience. He had no time for a missing person case.

Si Lin went to fetch the witness. However, when the witness saw Xiao Rui, she charged at him. “Big Brother Xiao! You have to help me! My friend, Wei Lan… She… Ah!”

Hearing Qiao Qing’s scream, Xiao Rui and Mo Li lifted their heads at the same time. Why is she here?

“Wei, Wei Lan… She…” Qiao Qing was about to faint. Si Lin rushed over to take the cup of milk tea from Qiao Qing and poured it down Qiao Qing’s throat. “You need some sugar inside you. We still need to take your statement.” Qiao Qing’s face was pale and she was in shock.

“Qing Qing, outsiders can’t enter the crime scene.” Xiao Rui said. However, it didn’t seem to register with Qiao Qing.

Instead Qiao Qing reached out her hands as if to grab at something. She mumbled to the air, “Okay, sorry. I’ll bring her home now. Wei Lan, come on, let’s go. Mo Li is waiting for us at home.”
