The Side Character’s Hidden Boss! Chapter 394 – Car Accident

Chapter 394: Car Accident

Translator: Lonelytree

Early the next morning, Mo Li was woken by Qin Xuan. “Mo Li, the body parts are confirmed to come from the same person. Do you want to join me for a puzzle?”

Mo Li rubbed her temples and asked, “How about the salvage team? Has Xiao Rui sent in the frogmen?”

“Captain Xiao called early in the morning to say that salvage had started. However, he had other cases to handle at the moment.”

“Okay. Since they come from the same person, see if the three parts can be pieced together and we’ll go from there.” Mo Li said. Mo Li took a few deep breaths and called the school for a day off. This was a hard case because they didn’t have any common identifiers. The victim’s sex, age, height, weight, it was impossible to tell these from 3 body parts.

…

Quan Yu believed that he had recovered. That day, he received a call from Ah Si. “Young master, 4th Master is up to something lately. If you don’t come back soon, I fear for Elder Quan’s safety…”

I have been away for a few months and these people have almost reached their hands to Pearl River already. Quan Yu sent Mo Li a simple message and then booked a plane ticket back to Beijing.

…

At the morgue, Mo Li placed the body parts on the autopsy table. She tried to match them according to the skin flap. The result was surprising. The body parts connected seamlessly! And a female’s chest and abdomen appeared before them.

“The incision is too neat. It’s done by a professional.” Qin Xuan even suspected it was one of their colleagues. Then again, this was all guesswork.

Mo Li studied the pale pieces of flesh. For a moment, she didn’t really know what to do. In the field of forensic science, there was already a mature system to identify the victim’s height and age. The age could be discerned from the teeth and pubic bone. For an experienced coroner, they could deduce the age within the variation of fewer than 2 years just from these factors alone. Based on the long bones, a good coroner could also deduce the height of a victim. However, faced with a mere body part, even Mo Li couldn’t tell much.

At that moment, Xiao Rui called. Mo Li knew that something else had happened. Was there an update to this case or was there a new case?

To her surprise, Xiao Rui said calmly. “Don’t worry, it’s just a car accident.”

“Why are you calling me for a car accident?” There was paperwork for investigation on a car accident but for a coroner, they only needed to carry out a simple autopsy to rule out foul play. But if it was a chain accident, the work could take more than 6 hours.

“There is only one male victim. Our coroner, Xiao Song, said that his time of death is yesterday night.”

“Then bring him here. I’ll take a quick look at it.” Mo Li realized that Xiao Rui was talking in circles but he didn’t understand why.

“The man’s face has been ruined. He has taken plastic surgery too. And Xiao Song said that acid has been used to destroy his fingerprints. We can’t tell who this is.”

Mo Li frowned. This sounded like a professional hit and the car accident was used to cover up the murder.

“Then you should start by investigating his identity. I am still piecing together the body parts here.” Mo Li told Xiao Rui.

Xiao Rui knew how to handle the case but there was something unique about this body. “Xiao Song fished out a small bag from the man’s sphincter. Inside the bag is a picture of Zhao Jing and a note.”

Zhao Jing? Mo Li’s heart skipped a beat when she heard this name. Zhao Jing was the woman who tried to run over Rou Rou and his father. She was eventually found dead in a ditch. Was she killed because she was a spy for Quan Yu?

After connecting all the dots, Mo Li believed it was highly likely that the latest victim was employed to take out Zhao Jing. However, for some reason, he was taken out in the end. The plastic surgery history matched up with the traditions of a hitman. They needed to change their faces often to avoid detection.

Mo Li took out her phone to inform Quan Yu. After all, this was related to his people. When Mo Li pulled out her phone and saw the message that he had returned to Beijing, Mo Li frowned. Someone wants his life when he is at a small place like Pearl River, how is he going to be fare in Beijing?

But how is this related to Quan Yu? Why was Zhao Jing killed? Normally, when a spy was captured, they would be tortured for information…. However, Zhao Jing appeared to be killed in a crime of passion. Why?
