Chapter 421: Another Picture

“There is one more thing we can look at.” Mo Li said after thinking for a while. “When Wu Han died, Hua Tao was present. She reacted too wildly. It was too strange, I believe she might be related to Wu Han’s death too. As for what to do now, I think you should send people to watch Hua Tao’s movements. Check the footage around their home from a few days ago.”

Xiao Rui rubbed his chin thoughtfully. He reported the investigation result to Mo Li early the next morning. When asked, Hua Tao said she had no idea why Wu Han decided to commit suicide all of a sudden.

Right before Wu Han’s death, Hua Tao was seen walking into the pharmacy near her home. Then she took a bus and went somewhere unknown. This important piece of evidence was recorded by a child who was incidentally playing with his drone near the pharmacy.

“We are going to detain Hua Tao but before that, we are going to the pharmacy to find out what Hua Tao was doing there. However, the internet tech team found something strange. There was someone who had been sending insulting messages to Wu Han’s private email, telling her to go die.”

Hearing that, Mo Li nodded. “Is the sender Hua Tao?”

When Xiao Rui confirmed it, Mo Li knew the case had been solved but she was not happy at all. Who would have thought a mother would tell their daughter to go die? And then the same mother murdered her husband.

When Hua Tao was brought to the interrogation room, she knew that her sin had been exposed. She didn’t resist and confessed.

“When I married Wu Yong, I was already pregnant. When the child was born, Wu Yong knew she wasn’t his but he said he was willing to forgive me. I innocently believed him. But he had been harboring an ulterior motive. He had been taking revenge on me for decades. He would hit Han Han and then hit me.

“I am a victim too. One time, Han Han was scouted when we were at the mall. She became a celebrity. After Han Han became popular, the bastard not only hit her but also raped her. It was then that I decided to kill him.”

Xiao Rui looked icily at the woman before him. He dropped the investigation result of the internet tech team before the ‘poor mother’.

When Hua Tao saw this, she suddenly grabbed her face and cried.

“Why? Why? I’ve raised her single-handedly, but she still seduced my man away from me! Wu Yong would rape her but not even touch me! Why? How is she prettier than me? He even treated her better than he treated me! He beat me more often than he beat her! I was the one who brought her into this world so I should be allowed to bring her away. She should die! And I would make sure that happened!”

Looking at the woman, Xiao Rui understood why she had made the purchase of sleeping pills at the pharmacy. She probably crushed and slipped into the Wu Yong’s food. Wu Yong would be defenseless after that.

“I packed up his clothes, cards, passport and dragged him into an old bike that we hadn’t used for many years. While I was finding a place to dump the body, I saw a girl dock a small boat by the river. The girl just wandered away. I thought that was the perfect chance so I threw Wu Yong onto the boat, tipped him over, and left him to fend for himself.”

A hard-jawed Xiao Rui came to report the conclusion of the case to Mo Li who just arrived at the station. Everyone was heartbroken when they heard the news.

Qin Xuan sighed and lamented, “So whose fault is it really?”

Kang Zhi stood at the office window and looked out at the blue sky. “Why didn’t they come to the police? Why must they resort to such extreme measures?”

“It doesn’t matter anymore. The real victim is the innocent young life who was spurned by her own mother and became the victim of this ill-fated relationship.” Si Lin lamented.

Mo Li sighed. She didn’t have not many comments. Such was the darkness of human hearts.

…

Just as Mo Li left the police station, she received a call from Nie Li. Right as she answered it, Nie Li roared so angrily and loudly that it almost shattered Mo Li’s eardrums. “Mo Li, what are you doing? Why do you keep on creating problems for me?”

Hearing that, Mo Li was confused. Due to the recent watchful eyes of Nie Li, Mo Li had been very obedient and she didn’t do anything. What problems had she created?

“How did you get involved with Xiao Rui? Do you know what the media is saying now?”

What? Xiao Rui?

“What about Xiao Rui?” Mo Li couldn’t help but ask.

“My dear Lord, are you going to make me die from anger?” Nie Li scolded over the phone. It turns out the paparazzi had followed Mo Li yesterday night and they caught pictures of Xiao Rui sending Mo Li home. Therefore, that was the headline on all media this morning.
