Chapter 418: The End of the Case?

Translator: Lonelytree

At that moment, Xiao Rui received a call. His face darkened as he heard the news. He ended the call and announced, We might have found Wu Yong. The team found traces of the man at one of the smaller ca.n.a.ls of Pearl River. They followed him to a small boat. Initially, they suspected he wanted to escape using the boat, but as they got closer, they spotted water in the boat, and the oars were floating on the river. So they believe Wu Yong has fallen into the water, and they are now trying to look for him.

What? Mo Li was confused. She could not understand what was going on. That night, they slept at the police station. Early the following day, they drove for 3 hours on a b.u.mpy road before arriving at the next crime scene. The salvage team did find Wu Yongs dead body underwater. The man was laid out by the bank. The water glistened on the mans face. He looked quite peaceful.

The officers and salvage team looked exhausted. Wu Hans mother was present, but she just sat there in a daze. Si Lin was talking to her, but she did not seem to register anything Si Lin said. The woman looked extremely indifferent as she sat there motionlessly with her eyes numb. There was no pain, no despair, and no sadness in her eyes. She just sat there calmly, without any emotions at all.

Lu Xuan had to stay at the hospital for a meeting, so Mo Li and Qin Xuan handled the preliminary autopsy. The victims fingernails were bruised, and there were many bubbles near his nose and mouth. It was evident that he had suffocated to death. His lips and neck were not injured, but his chest cavity was swollen.

Mo Li used hemostatic forceps to expand the nasal cavity of the victim. She found a lot of mud and sand in it. When Mo Li pried open the victims mouth, there was plenty of mud and sand in there too. This suggested that the victim drowned when he was still alive, and he was not thrown into the water after he was dead.

Do you think he could have committed suicide from guilt? Or he was afraid of being captured? Kang Zhi asked as he came over.

Have you seen someone commit suicide when carrying so many things? Qin Xuan pointed at the spot where there were the precious jewelry and bank cards. There was even a wooden basin.

Qin Xuan wanted to roll his eyes at Kang Zhi, he had no idea how the kid managed to graduate from the police academy.

Perhaps he didnt mean to drown. After all, when Wu Yong was young, he was a swimming champion. Someone suggested.

So this might be an accident? He could have been entangled by those underwater weeds! Kang Zhi pointed at the water weed wrapped around Wu Yongs body.

Well, its possible. The officer who had dived underwater to get the mans body sighed. He used a bamboo pole to move the st.u.r.dy water weeds that had floated to the surface of the water. If we didnt have professional gears, we would have drowned too.

But Wu Yong was a good swimmer, and it was unlikely that someone would kill him by pus.h.i.+ng him into the water. So it was more likely that to escape from the police, he dived into the water, and he got unfortunately entangled by these weeds. He drowned. Qin Xuan joined in the case solving. He felt his reasoning was quite logical.

Mo Li did not say anything. She picked up a bamboo pole to measure the depth of the water and the length of the water weed.

Suddenly, Xiao Ruis phone rang. It was from the DNA lab. The result was expected. The s.e.m.e.n stain in Wu Hans v.a.g.i.n.a matched the DNA sample taken from Wu Yongs toothbrush.

Regardless, Mo Li still drew a blood sample from Wu Yongs heart and asked for another DNA test.

Everyone knew the result. The stepfather raped his daughter. However, the man was dead, so it was poetic justice in a sense. The mans death did not lighten the hearts of the people present. The man deserved to die, but the young girl was innocent. It was unfortunate that she had to encounter something like this. She must have suffered intense psychological trauma. It caused her to wither away during the best age of her life.

Mo Li lifted her head. She still felt something was not right. The case did not fit in her mind but she could not pinpoint the problem either.

Mo Li studied the mahogany boat and then the ever-so-calm woman, Wu Hans mother. Something clicked for Mo Li.

Mo Li, you still think something is not right? Qin Xuan saw the confusion on Mo Lis face.

There is a case overseas where a young girl was lent out by her parents to be abused by others.

Wait, I know this. The couple rented their daughter out to others because they needed money to buy drugs. They were caught and were made to watch the video of their daughter being abused. Finally, the mother broke down and admitted that it was she who forced her daughter to cooperate in their sick plan. Kang Zhi said before he suddenly went quiet.
