The Side Character’s Hidden Boss! Chapter 398 – The Lead

Chapter 398: The Lead

“It makes sense. The soft tissues will float in the water.” It dawned on Qin Xuan then. This was a very big case and he was quite excited to get to be a part of it at his young age.

Xiao Rui’s face was dark. He just got the victim’s detailed data. She was born in the year of the Wood. What is Flower Appraisal up to?

“That is why we couldn’t find the bones at Pearl River. We only found soft tissues because they are not there to begin with.” Kang Zhi gasped.

Xiao Rui mobilized a team of firefighters. Their mission was simple, use the water pump to drain the pond.

Mo Li, Qin Xuan, Xiao Rui, and Kang Zhi stood beside the pond. The pond was slowly drained. It was at 3.30 pm that the pond was fully drained. The pond was now a pool of mud.

A large plastic bag was conspicuously sticking out of the mud. Qin Xuan who was in rubber shoes shouted excitedly. He rushed over, stepping on the thick layer of mud. He grabbed the large bag and then pulled. It was confirmed to be a bag of human bones.

The man was a very good butcher. His craftsmanship was impressive if slightly creepy. The bones had no soft tissues at all. There were only bits of internal organs dangling at the joints. It made everyone’s scalp tingle.

“Even if we can prove this is our victim. How can we be sure the killer is her husband?”

“Well…. We found this here. How is he going to explain that?” In Qin Xuan’s mind, the man was guilty as hell.

“That won’t work!” Kang Zhi looked at Qin Xuan. “The lawyer will say this is only circumstantial evidence.”

While the two men discussed the issue, Mo Li turned over the bones of the abdomen like she was looking for something.

“What are you looking for?” Xiao Rui saw this and frowned.

“I’m looking for the stomach.” Mo Li answered without looking up.

“Why?” Xiao Rui asked and at that moment, Mo Li found the stomach. Mo Li pinched it lightly and then used her scalpel to slice it open. The thing inside inspired Mo Li. The case could be solved now!

The stomach revealed a piece of mahogany stuck with a piece of skin.

The DNA results came out quickly. The skin was from the husband and the blood of the wife was found at the abattoir. The evidence was complete.

The butcher had no choice but to come clean. The husband had a mistress and the mistress had been bugging him to get a divorce. To be honest, the husband wanted a divorce too. Kang Jing and her husband got into a big quarrel over the divorce.

One day, Kang Jing agreed to the divorce but on the condition that the man gave her everything. The man lost his temper and slapped Kang Jing. Kang Jing fought back by biting off the man’s finger. The man was incensed. He grabbed the butcher’s knife and killed Kang Jing.

He was afraid after the murder. The nanny walked in and provided him with the solution. She gave him the mahogany and taught him how to cut Kang Jing into pieces. She was the one who told him to put Kang Jing into different bags and toss them all over the city. Then the skeleton, he placed inside a bag and dumped into the pond.

“Where is the nanny now?” Xiao Rui was sure that the nanny was part of Flower Appraisal.

The man shook his head. “It was Kang Jing who found the nanny. I don’t know much about her.”

“Then why did you take the mahogany from her?”

“She said she would help me perform a ritual so that the police won’t get me. It was a mahogany talisman…” The man sighed. How could he be so dumb? If the ritual worked, there wouldn’t be police officers in this world.

“Then, do you remember how she looks like?” Xiao Rui glanced at the man. This man was their biggest lead so he needed to press!

“I remember she has medium-length hair and looks quite young. She has a mole on her neck and she wore pink nail polish. I can’t remember the rest. She started work just a few days before the incident happened. I can’t remember much else about her.”
