Chapter 459: A Good Relationship

Translator: Lonelytree

Xiao Rui had a handsome face. His thick eyebrows rippled slightly and the corners of his lips carried a hint of helplessness. He felt tired because the girl did not seem to know how to take good care of herself.

Cast in the afternoon light, Xiao Rui’s tanned skin glowed. His features were prominent and his jaws were carved. It was little wonder that he garnered so many fans from a mere variety show appearance.

Xiao Rui finished the drink and he tossed it into the trash can accurately. It accentuated the unruliness of the man’s nature.

“And you’re right. Kang Zhi did find something similar between Li Min and Li Hui.”

Mo Li’s interest was piqued. “He found something common among the victims?” For Mo Li, the murderer’s motive was simple, it was to kill according to the order of the five elements, gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. However, Mo Li could not understand why.

“The murderer follows the five elements even stricter than we thought. They even went down to the details of the victims’ birth charts. For example, Li Min was born in the year of Gold so her lungs were injured. Even though Qi Yan shared the same year of God, in terms of her birth chart, she is closer to Gold-Fire.”

“So Qi Yan’s fatal injury is on her heart?” Mo Li still found it surprising that these things were coming out of an atheist like Xiao Rui.

“Do you know how close Li Hui’s house was to the Temple of the Kitchen God? Not only that, did you notice Li Hui’s heart was bigger than normal when you did the autopsy on him? Li Hui and Qi Han had fire in their charts but Li Hui was predominantly Fire. He was born at 11 o’clock on May 22, 1995.”

“A fate of fire?” Mo Li contemplated and then it hit her. “Li Hui died close to the Kitchen God’s temple because it was to reflect the element of fire in his birth chart.”

“That’s right. And for Wu Han and Wu Yong, they were both born in the Year of Water.”

“And water corresponds to the kidney.” When Mo Li did the autopsy, Mo Li did not look at the two’s kidneys because it had nothing to do with their causes of death. but now Mo Li realized that both of the victims had been drugged. Thus their kidneys would be damaged.

“The two victims with the Life of Wood had their livers removed or damaged. The flight attendant’s liver was damaged due to long-term medication.

“Kang Zhi also noticed something common about the victims before they died. They had visited the hospital where the flight attendant died to do a physical examination.”

Xiao Rui and Mo Li stared at each other. This was the connection they were looking for. Xiao Rui knew Mo Li was a clever person so he cut to the point. “So the murderer is someone who has free assess to all these places, the crew, the hotel, the hospital.”

“Remember the butcher case? The cleaner will free access to these places!” Mo Li turned to Xiao Rui. She started to go through the cleaning crew in her mind. However, Mo Li did not stay on set for long so she couldn’t be sure.

“There is a high turnover rate so it’s hard for us to find the suspect this way. Our better solution is to find the murderer’s next victim. They will be born in the Year of Earth!”

“Pass me a pen and paper.” Mo Li sat up. “Have Kang Zhi and Brother Liu look for people with a bad stomach, especially those who had a recent examination at the hospital. Have them protected.” Mo Li then wrote down the killer’s murder pattern on paper.

Xiao Rui had no idea what Mo Li was writing. He frowned. Eventually, Mo Li looked up and said, “Have Kang Zhi focus on someone who lives near a garden. They should have good living conditions or a single person who would hire a cleaning service. That’s how the killer gains contact with them!”

Xiao Rui nodded. He then pressed Mo Li down to the bed. “Now you need to rest. Don’t use your brain too much.”

Mo Li looked at Xiao Rui. This man is interesting. If not for him, I wouldn’t even be using my brain. Regardless, the most important thing now was to bring the murderer to justice.

When Xiao Rui left, Nie Li stared at him for a long time.. When Nie Lie entered the ward, she teased, “You two sure share a good relationship.”
