The Side Character's Hidden Boss!

“When Li Hui was dazed, the killer sneaked into the living room. However, they didn’t expect Li Hui to be so physically imposing when he was injured. They got into a huge fight and Li Hui was beaten several times on his head before he eventually collapsed. The killer sliced the victim’s throat multiple times to ensure he was dead.

“After that, the killer cleaned up their traces. They closed the curtains and switched the power switch back on. The power box was at a blind spot, so they didn’t realize they had left behind a bloody print. That would solve all the questions about this case.”

“Very good. But why did the killer choose to close the power switch beforehand?” Mo Li asked Qin Xuan.

“Because they knew they weren’t physically stronger than Li Hui and thus required the element of surprise?” Qin Xuan thought and said.

“Before the power was switched back on, it was completely dark in the room, how did the killer manage to cut Li Hui’s neck so neatly and how did the killer find the power box in the dark?”

“Well, perhaps the killer is very familiar with Li Hui’s home or there is a second killer to help them with the light.”

“Regardless, there are only 2 keys to Li Hui’s place. One is on Li Hui and the other is with his wife. So how did the killer or killers get in beforehand to lay the ambush?” Mo Li ordered the logic in her mind. Qin Xuan didn’t know what to say.

“Well, perhaps his wife had given her key to someone else or the killer is a master lockpick!”

“That is unlikely. The trace analyst has checked the locks. The locks are not picked or damaged in any way.” Xiao Rui glanced at Qin Xuan. Qin Xuan was fast chasing up to Kang Zhi. He had a mature and logical mind.

They spent two hours discussing before they decided to return to the City Bureau’s Special Task Force Meeting Room. The trio took a quick nap in the car. The moment they entered the meeting room, they saw Kang Zhi and a few other investigators sleeping there. Some were sprawled on the chairs, others were laying on the ground. When the people heard Mo Li, Xiao Rui, and Qin Xuan, they slowly woke up.

“What time is it? Boss, why are you running around with Miss Mo Li?”

“What am I? Chopped liver?” Qin Xuan complained.

“There’s a new update. There is a new motive we found on Li Hui’s wife, Cui Xiang. Perhaps we should detain her.”

Xiao Rui was surprised. “I was going to ask you guys to do that tomorrow. Tell me, what have you found?”

Kang Zhi cleared his throat and rubbed his eyes. “I was planning to report this in the morning. We found out Cui Xiang is having an affair with her boss. We’ve already sent people to monitor her.”

Mo Li and Xiao Rui looked at each other. Qin Xuan nodded, “So the victim was killed due to jealousy?”

“If there is such a relationship, then Cui Xiang’s alibi is not solid, since it was her boss who told us she was at work. After we detain her, we should look deeper into her boss.”

…

There was still time until morning. Mo Li decided to take a quick rest at the station. When she woke up, it was already 9.30 am. Everyone around her was celebrating. Only then did she realize the case had been closed!

The young and beautiful Cui Xiang and her boss, Guan Fang were both married. However, they had an illicit affair. One time, Li Hui went to visit Cui Xiang at the city and found her in bed with her boss. Li Hui didn’t get angry but instead took pictures of the two and demanded 600,000 RMB from Guan Fang. At the same time, he was processing the divorce with Cui Xiang. With his evidence, Cui Xiang would get nothing from the divorce.

This cornered Cui Xiang and Guan Fang. Instead of surrendering to Li Hui, the couple decided to deal with Li Hui once and for all. After they killed Li Hui, they could be together forever. Therefore, they returned to Li Hui’s home on a dark night.

Li Hui was exceptionally fit. Guan Fang and Cui Xiang were worried that they could not overpower him so they decided to go for tact. They switched off the power box and ambushed Li Hui in the dark. Cui Xiang was Li Hui’s wife so she was very familiar with his weakness. Li Hui’s eyes were sensitive to light, it was why the curtains at their home were so thick. Even during the day, the curtains were forever closed. While Li Hui battled with Guan Fang, Cui Xiang used the flashlight to blind Li Hui. The two ganged up on Li Hui and killed him.

After that, the two recovered the scene. They cleaned up and switched the power back on.

After comparison, the fingerprint on the power switch belonged to Guan Fang and Li Hui’s blood was found in Guan Fang’s car.

Mo Li felt quite sad that a beautiful family was ruined like that. However, she was thankful that this case had nothing to do with Flower Appraisal.

Just as Mo Li was about to go home, Xiao Rui stopped her. “We just dug into Li Hui’s past. He was said to have raped Tao Si when they were in junior high.”
