Chapter 96: Discovery

As she walked into the morgue, the familiarity caused goosebumps to break out all over Mo Li’s body. It had been a long time since she stepped into a morgue, Mo Li wondered if she had gone rusty or not.

Regardless, she soon found that comfort she always had inside the morgue. Mo Li always found dealing with the dead more comfortable than dealing with the living. After all, the living was cunning and sinister, plus they were capable of intense violence. In contrast, the dead was always quiet and obedient. Mo Li never had to worry about a body sitting up on the autopsy table and fire two bullets at her head.

Before Mo Li started the autopsy, she turned to look at the clear plastic bag laid on top of the tray beside the autopsy table. The bag contained a stack of photos. Mo Li took out the photos and looked through them. These were pictures of the victim. This was a woman and her face was ashen grey. There was no visible wound on her body. The expressionless face appeared to hide many secrets. There was a beauty mole at the corner of her lips.

Mo Li put down the pictures and turned to the dead body. Autopsy was a science utilizing all senses. Underneath the scent of death, Mo Li smelled something else.?It smells like the salon.?Mo Li reached her fingers through the woman’s hair and confirmed that they had been chemically straightened.?Strange… Would a woman purposely go to straighten her hair before attempting a hit and run and then killing herself from guilt?

Mo Li was also impressed by Quan Yu’s resourcefulness. Normally after death, the body would be kept at the hospital and not sent directly to the morgue.

“Her stomach is bulging, is she pregnant?” Quan Yu asked when he saw the protruding stomach of the lady.

Mo Li did not answer. Before the autopsy was over, the coroner could only provide hypotheses based on their medical knowledge and experience. For an affirmative answer that Quan Yu looked for, he would have to wait for the official coroner’s report.

After a quick breath, Mo Li picked up the scalpel and cut open the woman’s abdomen. A foul stench immediately escaped from her body.

Quan Yu, who was used to such things, couldn’t help but frown. On the other hand, Mo Li appeared fully unaffected.

Mo Li continued her autopsy.?Huh? What’s this??Mo Li found a wound on the woman’s inner thigh. However, there was no bruising, which meant that wound was caused post mortem.

Mo Li was surprised by how cruel the woman’s killer was. The woman’s internal organs had all been dug out.

Mo Li squatted down to examine the woman’s nails. Mo Li stored samples of the woman’s hair, and stomach contents into the evidence bags.

“Many things have been washed away because the body has been left soaking in the water.” Mo Li observed as she jotted down her findings.

Quan Yu didn’t say anything as he helped put away the evidence bags handed over to him.

Mo Li pulled her hair into a bun so that it wouldn’t affect her during the autopsy. As she stood up, the bun bounced. Under the glow of the shadeless lights, her black hair glistened.

A coroner’s job was merely to find evidence. The case-cracking was left to the detective. That was the rules of the profession. However seeing the horrible state the woman was in, Mo Li couldn’t help but comment, “She is definitely not the killer, she’s one of the victims as well.” action

…

“Xiao Si, why are you blocking my way?”

“Young Master has something important to attend to.”

Xiao Yun frowned. He came here on his own accord. He wanted to see what had happened that it required Doctor Lu Xuan’s personal service. He was worried that something might happen to Quan Yu. But when he arrived, he wasn’t even given a chance to meet his friend.

“Then who is inside there? And what is that horrible smell coming from the room behind you?”

“No comment.” Ah Si answered seriously. He had a severe look on his face.?Things must be serious for Ah Si to block me so vehemently.

Even though Quan Yu and Xiao Yuan were friends, Xiao Yuan didn’t know much about the Quan Family’s involvement in the business which was conducted under the table.

I probably have wasted my time coming here today…?Xiao Yuan sighed. As he looked down, his eyes captured something!

It was a card attached to a plush ball. It did not look like it belonged to Quan Yu or Ah Si.

“Young Master Xiao, please don’t come any further.” As Xiao Yu slowly approached, Ah Si raised his hands to stop him.

“Don’t worry, I’m not planning to go in.” Xiao Yuan looked at Ah Si apologetically. While Ah Si was distracted, Xiao Yuan quickly stepped on the card on the ground. Then he clamped his feet together and slowly shuffled backwards.

“Then, I’ll be leaving. If your Young Master wants to find me, tell him to call me.”

Then Xiao Yuan shuffled away with his legs squeezed closely together.

Ah Si sighed watching this.

Young Master Quan really needs to watch his drinking, he looks like his bladder is about to burst.

“What is this?”
