Chapter 327 - Alkaline Water Chapter 327: Alkaline Water
Translator: Lonelytree
“He is living under a lot of pressure and is on the verge of breaking down. I can’t say he’s crazy but who knows, the last straw that breaks the camel’s back might soon arrive.” Zhu Wen looked at Chu Guang, her eyes flickering with an unknown light. It was hard to tell what she was thinking.
Zeng Jia believed Chu Guang was just trying to get infamous online. It was why he had done all these things. The trending hot topics had been dominated by Chu Guang for the past 2 days.
“Chu Guang, a big fake!”
“Chu Guang, Ye Zi.”
“Chu Guang’s memes.”
“Chu Guang’s trail of dead lovers.”
Xiao Rui and Mo Li shared a look. They went into the bathroom. Mo Li was about to reach out to touch the mirror when Xiao Rui stopped her. What is wrong with this girl? What if the mirror is slathered with corrosive substance? It’ll ruin her pretty hands.
Xiao Rui took out a cotton swab and evidence bag and handed them to Mo Li. “Use these.”
Mo Li nodded. Mo Li was a coroner in her previous life. However, her doctorate was in trace analysis, it was an important part of criminal science. Compared to being a coroner, a trace analysis was more focused on sampling, extracting, and analyzing. Trace analysis could be considered a combination of social science and natural science.
Mo Li used the cotton swab to wipe at the mirror. Mo Li sniffed it before putting it into the evidence bag. “So there is a ghost after all!”
Xiao Rui nodded. Chu Guang sure is unlucky. A person pretending to be a ghost is harder to deal with than an actual ghost.
Xiao Rui also noticed Mo Li’s knowledge went beyond forensic science. She was very good at trace analysis too. In previous cases, Mo Li had managed to help them a lot by studying, processing, analyzing, examining the trace and spatter pattern at the crime scene. Mo Li was a natural at the trace analysis lab. She didn’t seem lost for even a moment.
Xiao Rui was still studying Mo Li. So far, he noticed that she was good with the study of prints, and trace analysis. He wondered if she would one day surprise them by revealing that she was a ballistic expert too. Xiao Rui wondered if such a genius person could exist in this world or not. Mo Li has achieved such greatness by just reading?
When everyone returned to the campsite, Xiao Rui and Mo Li didn’t say anything. They stayed down to rest for the night. Mo Li was ultimately a girl, after a whole day of grueling challenges, Xiao Rui wanted her to rest too. He sent her back to the tent and they would continue the case investigation tomorrow.

That late-night, Fang Ming stood on the deck of the yacht and puffed on the cigarette. Soon a woman joined him.
“Zhu Wen, what is your purpose of being here?”
“Mr. Fang, I don’t know what you’re talking about. I’m here as the program host!”
“Do you think I didn’t notice? Why are you targeting Chu Guang?”
“But I didn’t.” Zhu Wen smiled at him. “Everything done during the challenge is transparent. How is it my fault that he has bad luck? Furthermore, everyone has sat on the massage chair and no one has anyone problem but him. Or do you have evidence that I was behind those things?”
“…” Fang Ming looked at the woman. “Zhu Wen, you better don’t let me find any evidence. I will be watching you closely from now on.” Fang Ming then threw the cigarette into the sea.
…
“Why would Chu Guang claim to have seen a bloody message on the mirror last night?” Xiao Rui woke up early in the morning and had been studying the ghost message.
“It’s not that difficult. All you need is some alkaline water.”
“Then how did the culprit know that Chu Guang would use that room?”
“The upper floor of the yacht has exploded and most of the rooms have burned down. Chu Guang would definitely use the rooms downstairs. So as long as the culprit set up the trap in every lower floor room, Chu Guang would have walked into the trap no matter which room he chose. The message would only surface when it meets with heat. Normally, they won’t be visible.”
“Kang Zhi, go and check every room on the yacht, see if you can find the trace of the message on each bathroom mirror.”
“Ah? Boss, you want me to go alone?” Kang Zhi looked at Xiao Rui with puppy-dog eyes. In the end, Xiao Rui sighed and had Xiao Liu accompany him.
…
“Brother Liu, be careful, this place is haunted!”
