Chapter 150: Clues
It’s best not to get too close to the Mrs. boss or else young master might have my head!
“So can you do it?” Quan Yu challenged Mo Li. There was a hint of laziness in his tone. Quan Yu was like a lion prowling the prairie, he had already found his target, he was only waiting for the time to sink his teeth in.
Those who did not know Quan Yu would find him extremely sinister and terrifying; but those who worked under him knew that this was merely the boss’ way of showing his desire to get closer.
…
When Mo Li returned to the room, she carried 2 things with her. One of them was a cute phone case. This was found on the victim.
“Does this belong to Jiang Li?”
Chen Quan picked up the case Mo Li left on the table. It had a light blue primer and it was decorated with cute stickers like pearls, bows and fruits. The case also had glow dust. It shimmered reflecting the light in the room.
While Chen Quan was studying the case, Mo Li placed the other thing on the table. It was a box of cookies. Chen Quan kept staring at the phone case, he couldn’t look away for a long time. “Sister Li likes girly things.”
Mo Li sat down beside Ah Si.?Finally we are getting somewhere.
“What can you remember about the day of Jiang Li’s death?” Mo Li asked gently as she pushed the cookies towards Chen Quan. “Don’t be so nervous. We’re also friends with Jiang Li. We just want to find out what happened to her.”
Chen Quan finally let his guard down. “That day I was on duty. Around 5 pm, I heard that someone was attempting suicide, so I quickly hurried to the scene.
“But when I saw that the person was Sister Li, I was dumbfounded! I couldn’t believe my eyes. She was in a bad state like all the energy had been drained from her body.
“Before this, Sister Li did come to me to complain that she was actually very unhappy with her life. Her husband was always not home and things were not going well at work. Since she was bullied at work, she resigned but she failed to find another job.
“But Sister Li never gave up. She told me personally that she would turn her life around. She would stop on the way home to feed the stray cats and dogs. Why would a kind person like that commit suicide?
“Sister Li sat at the edge of the balcony and she was swaying. At the time, I heard the screams from the people downstairs. They weren’t there to help, in fact, they were telling her to jump!
“Sister Li always understood how cruel the society was, but she never allowed that to get to her. However, perhaps that day, she was finally defeated by the world and she decided to go for a rest…” At this point, Chen Quan was already a blubbering mess. Ah Si handed him a tissue paper, hoping the man could collect himself.
Mo Li was reminded of the video she saw earlier. There were so many people watching, yet no one was willing to help the victim.
On the day of her death, Jiang Li was in a black dress. It seemed to represent her void of hope. A black shadow fell through the air and splashed in crimson.
Then 2 sounds were heard on screen. One was Chen Quan’s heartbreaking cry as he rushed to the balcony where Jiang Li had flown from; the other was the mocking applause from the crowd.
It was such a contrast. After getting a general understanding of the situation, Mo Li had someone send Chen Quan back.
Ah Si asked his boss. “Boss, do you think the murderer was present at Jiang Li’s crime scene?”
Quan Li pondered for a moment and said, “It’s hard to say, but the possibility is quite high. They could have been there to witness their handiwork in person. These psychopaths are often narcissistic.”
Mo Li shook her head and countered, “If the killer was at the scene, why didn’t they just kill Jiang Li with a simpler and quieter method? Why stage such a large event? It’s unnecessary.”
