The Side Character's Hidden Boss! Chapter 142 - The Suspect

Chapter 142 - The Suspect

Mo Li had just finished school when she saw a familiar face. Ah Si opened the car door and motioned for Mo Li to enter.

Mo Li a.s.sumed she would be brought to another autopsy scene so she was surprised to find Quan Yu in the backseat.

"We've found a suspect." Quan Yu looked at Mo Li. Initially he didn't think about involving Mo Li but for some reason, he felt the need to be around her. Soon they arrived at a s.p.a.ce under an overpa.s.s. This appeared to be where the 'suspect' lived.

"Ah Zhong found a knife here and he believes it matches the wounds on the first victim."

Mo Li made the headcount in her mind, there were so far 3 victims and they were all female.

The first victim was Zhao Jing, she died from drowning. There were various wounds on her body and her stomach was filled with spices.

The second victim was Jiang Li. She died from falling. However, her joints were dislocated and her stomach was empty. It suspected that she was imprisoned for some time before she died.

The third victim was known female actor, Zhuang Xin. She died from an 'accidental' fall...

These three cases looked unrelated but Mo Li felt like there was something binding them together. She needed to unlock the mystery to find the conspiracy behind everything.

They waited until the sky darkened when finally a figure sauntered over unsteadily. At first glance, he looked to be about 1.65 meters tall. His hair was very long and messy. His dirty appearance was quite disturbing.

He was carrying a large woven bag, which contained some mineral water bottles and old paper boxes.

When the man got close enough, he spotted Quan Yu's group. The man immediately turned and started to run. Seeing that, Ah Si immediately chased after him. "Hey you, stop!"

Hearing that, the homeless man ran faster. He whipped his head around to look behind him before continue running. The woven bag was slowing him down but the homeless man refused to let go. After all, he had slaved a whole day to collect all these recyclables, they were his source of income. He was not going to dump them.

Since Ah Si worked for Quan Yu, he was physically impressive. That was because Quan Yu had a weak const.i.tution and thus Quan Yu's bodyguards had to be able to act as his muscles.

With just a few steps, Ah Si caught up to the homeless man. He didn't even break a sweat.

In contrast, the homeless man was already drained when he was captured. He placed his hands on his knees and panted heavily. He might have fainted from exhaustion.

Seeing that he had been captured, the homeless man turned to offense. He grabbed a brick from the ground and swung it at Ah Si.

The homeless man was naturally no match for Ah Si. He grabbed the brick and then knocked at the homeless man's elbow to disarm him. Ah Si turned the homeless man around, knocked him to the ground and stepped on his back to stop him from running and fighting back.

"Ah..." The scream meant that the homeless man was now fully under Ah Si's control. No matter how hard he struggled, he could not move.

Mo Li turned to Ah Si and asked, "Are you alright?"

Ah Si nodded and pushed the man to face Mo Li. Ah Si was thankful for Mo Li's concern but Mo Li was worried for no reason. Compared to the normal training Quan Yu planned for them, this was nothing.

After the suspect was detained, Quan Yu handed the silver box he had been carrying to Mo Li.

Not long after that, Lu Xuan arrived with his a.s.sistant. It was Qin Xuan whom Mo Li had met from the previous autopsy.

Lu Xuan jumped down the car immediately, carrying his toolbox. He landed steadily on the ground.

Qin Xuan followed suit but he almost fell. After all, a full coroner's toolbox would weigh at least 10 kg.
