Chapter 271: Related Case

Kang Zhi saw the two of them alight from the car and hurried to them. His eyes were as red as a bunny’s.

Xiao Rui frowned and could not help but ask, “A suicide made you cry?”

“Boss! I’m not crying!” Kang Zhi said so but his voice was breaking. Xiao Rui frowned impatiently and he asked, “What’s wrong?”

“You’re a fan of Pink Rabbit, aren’t you?” Mo Li put on the white coat Kang Zhi handed her. Mo Li had interacted with many fans in her career so she could pick one out easily. Kang Zhi was definitely the victim’s fan.

…

Mo Li studied the girl whose face was ruined. She sighed. Mo Li commented before she even started her examination. “She’s pregnant.”

“What? Mo Li, that can’t be true! Our rabbit cutie didn’t have a boyfriend, so how could she be pregnant?” Kang Zhi argued for his idol.

Technically that should be the case because all the artists had to sign a no relationship contract when they joined Huan Yu. Huan Yu had a very close monitoring of their artists. Mo Zheng had signed something similar. Therefore, it should be the same for Pink Rabbit. However, Mo Li was confident. Despite the state Pink Rabbit was in, Mo Li’s analysis was not wrong.

“Kang Zhi, do you want to take a break from this case?” Xiao Rui offered. He didn’t expect his people to be a fan of the victim. This was unexpected.

“Boss, Pink Rabbit mentioned in her live 3 days ago that she would announce her relationship. The fans were excited but then she said that she was only joking. You could still find the recording of her live on the internet. Look, here are the 3 who donated the most to Pink Rabbit.”

“Pink Rabbit Follower, A La PR, Fanboy ZhiZhi.” Xiao Rui read out the 3 names and then raised his eyes at Kang Zhi.

“This… this is just a hobby of mine. I like Rabbit Cutie not only because of her beauty, she was also a good dancer and singer. I was already a fan when she was in a girl group…” Xiao Rui pulled on the back collar of Kang Zhi’s uniform and handed him to Si Lin. “Tell us everything you know, including the relationship between this rabbit and Dong Yun.”

“Boss, her name is Pink Rabbit! Ouch!” Xiao Rui smacked the back of Kang Zhi’s head. “Stop wasting my time. Do you want another smack?”

Kang Zhi pouted as he glanced at his idol.

In the cruiser, Xiao Rui’s face was dark. It only softened when they reached the station.

“Is there any news from Huan Yu?” Xiao Rui asked Mo Li.

“No, so far, there’s not even an internal memo.” Mo Li looked at the file on Dong Yun. If this case is also related to me, why haven’t I received any messages from the company?

“You said that you have already figured out Dong Yun’s killer. But with this latest death, I’m afraid things might not be that simple. For your safety, why don’t you stay away from the case?”

Mo Li ignored him and began her analysis, “Like I said, there are only 3 ways to get to Dong Yun. The first was to have Dong Yun lead the murderer up to his office. That way, people without access could use the elevator. However, based on what the secretary said, Dong Yun didn’t leave his office and there was no record of him going downstairs.

“So the second possibility. The killer used Dong Yun’s eyes to access the elevator. But that is not possible too. How could the killer have Dong Yun’s eyeball before he was dead?”

Mo Li flipped through the records. “Since these 2 possibilities are not possible, then the truth has to be the third one.”

Xiao Rui offered, “The killer has been hiding inside the office. The elevator records were merely a way for the killer to confuse the police.”

“Indeed.” Mo Li looked at Kang Zhi and Si Lin who just walked in. “The key here is that the elevator records only contain the time when someone activates the corneal scans and not when the elevator is used.”

“And those two are completely different things.”

“Are you two talking about Dong Yun’s murderer? I’m lost.” Kang Zhi looked at Mo Li and Xiao Rui with confusion.

“In other words, they only need to stop the elevator doors from closing.” Xiao Rui already constructed the killer’s movement in his mind. The killer probably used some kind of item to stop the elevator from closing so it would stay on Dong Yun’s office. This was a simple way to create a time trap.

“But that’s impossible!” Kang Zhi argued, “Based on the records, the only person who arrived at Dong Yun’s office that day earlier than Dong Yun was Secretary Yu. She was there to clean his office. But she already left before Dong Yun’s time of death. I ran into her at Huan Yu, remember?”
