Chapter 154: Nails

Translator: Lonelytree

“The land also belongs to Quan Yu?” Mo Li asked as she focused on Ah Si.

“I suppose that’s true.” Ah Si answered. Indeed, the hotel was not built by their young master but the hotel was built on the land that belonged to the Quan Family. When she heard that, Mo Li could confirm that this was a warning aimed at Quan Yu. The man must have offended some sinister characters.

“Young Master has checked the whole hotel. There is only one room which is locked from the inside. When we unlocked the door with the master key, we didn’t find any occupant but we did find a laptop. After we investigated the laptop, we realized that the ‘livestream’ that we saw was actually a recording. It was saved and broadcasted from the laptop. Wu Yong and his kidnappers are still nowhere to be found.”

Mo Li frowned when she heard that.?Sounds like we’ve been tricked.

Soon they arrived at the hotel. Ah Si led Mo Li to the hotel room in question. Mo Li encountered Quan Yu whose brows were deeply furrowed. The tension was palpable in the air. Mo Li didn’t waste any time catching up with Quan Yu but immediately launched into work.

Mo Li looked around before she moved to the hotel room window. She pulled back the curtains and noticed something interesting.

This hotel was in the same neighbourhood as Hong Yuan. From this room, when the sky was clear, one could capture both Jiang Li and Zhuang Xin’s crime scenes clearly.

Mo Li narrowed her eyes at the Jiang Li’s apartment building. From her vantage point, she could look through the window into Jiang Li’s room. Suddenly Mo Li announced, “I think I’ve found our next victim.”

...

After Jiang Li’s death, her family moved away. They couldn’t face her memory anymore. Due to Jiang Li’s death, the landowner failed to find a new renter.

When they arrived, Quan Yu’s people had secured the keys from the landowner. action

As Quan Yu’s people opened the door and tried to file in, Mo Li stopped them. She put on the shoe covers, reminding them the importance of preserving the crime scene.

Mo Li walked in first.

Quan Yu and Ah Si quickly put on their shoe covers and followed behind Mo Li. They were immediately hit by the heady smell of blood. They had found Wu Yong’s body alright.

The man had been dismembered.

Mo Li put on the white coat handed to her by Ah Si. She put on the mask and gloves and started her initial examination. “The victim’s body has been cut into 9 pieces. I notice the shoulder and left elbow are missing. The victim’s posterior muscle has been shaved from his left leg as well.”

Mo Li studied Wu Yong’s body seriously. She believed Wu Yong was dismembered because the killers want to obscure the man’s real cause of death.

“Livor mortis has settled in so I believe the victim has been death for about 12 hours. His genitalia has been cut off as well. According to the shape of the wound, the weapon should be around 30 cm long. It should be incredibly sharp because the incision looks clean.”

Even though the murder was brutal, the people present were Quan Yu’s highly trained guards, so they were not affected. They were used to gore. However, when Mo Li lifted up Wu Yong’s shaved leg left, exposing the swollen and rotten wound, everyone’s clenched their thighs involuntarily.

“Based on initial examination, I believe the victim died from internal bleeding and perhaps even poisoning. I’ll be able to know more after a detailed autopsy.” Mo Li said as she cut into Wu Yong’s stomach. When she started to pull out one after another iron nails from the man’s stomach, everyone was stunned.

“There are four nails in his stomach, one of them pierced through his stomach wall. That is probably the source of internal bleeding.”

Quan Yu sucked in a deep breath and said, “I don’t think there’s any record of allotriophagic patient having the desire to ingest nails.”

“Which is why I’ve found this on his stomach wall.” Mo Li picked up a small crystalline object with the tweezers. “Colloidal aluminum.. He must have been forced fed those nails.”
