Chapter 416: Cigarette Burns

Xiao Rui glanced at Mo Li but did not say anything. There were too many people there. Mo Li could not be expected to rush over upon seeing the body. Hence, the two of them only shared a look. Based on Xiao Rui’s understanding of Mo Li, she would find a way to get over when there were fewer people.

As expected, when the security evacuated the crowd, Mo Li pretended to be swept away. This was her chance to be separated away from Nie Li. Mo Li turned towards the safety passage door but unexpectedly, a large hand captured her from behind.

“Mo Li, where are you going? There are so many people here, be careful not to get hurt.” Mo Li turned around to see Han Xu’s face. His words were caring, but there were no emotions in his eyes. He has learned to eclipse his emotions in such a short period, Mo Li thought, The man is a natural schemer.

Due to Han Xu’s appearance, Mo Li had no choice but to follow him downstairs. “Do you need me to drive you home? I think Nie Li already left.” Mo Li was not in the mood to interact with Han Xu. She was more desperate to check on the young girl who dropped from the balcony.

“There’s no need, someone has come to fetch me.” Mo Li told Han Xu as she walked towards Ah Ao who was waving at her. Mo Li did not want to get too close to Han Xu.

After she got into the car, Mo Li whispered to Ah Ao. “Leave the hotel and then turn to the backdoor. Find a secluded place to wait for me.”

Xiao Rui glanced at the time and said directly, “You sure are busy. I thought I saw you leave from the front door already.” The others looked up and saw Mo Li walk over. She was putting on the gloves. “I noticed that the girl has been dead for a while already, so why was she dropped so much later?”

Kang Zhi gasped at Mo Li’s words. “You mean this is not a simple suicide? But the victim’s mother said that her daughter has suicidal tendencies and the suicide note found on the body matches the victim’s handwriting too.” The girl’s name was Wu Han. Even though it was a school day, she was not in her school uniform due to the event. She was lying with her eyes closed, it looked like she was just asleep.

The girl was very cute. She had thick eyebrows, tall nose and she looked prettier than most girls her age. She should be enjoying her life and youth, but she had decided to end her life. It was quite a pity.

Mo Li took a brief look studying the girl’s fall injury. Normally, a fall injury on a person would be more serious on the inside than outside. The internal organs would shatter from the impact, and there won’t be too much blood. However, the girl’s body did not show much open injury. There were only small trickles of red blood flowing out of her nostrils and auditory canal. Coupled with the purplish bruising around the girl’s eyes, Mo Li concluded that the girl’s injury bore more resemblance to cranial fracture than a fall.

Xiao Rui sighed helplessly. And then he waved at Qin Xuan and Lu Xuan to carry the body away. To his surprise, Mo Li stopped them and then extended her head to check the back of the girl’s neck. She found a huge hematoma there. She picked up a clamp and tapped it against the girl’s forehead. The skull echoed loudly.

“Is there a problem? There aren’t that many open injuries on the girl’s body so there’s not much bleeding. It is why the scene is not that bloody. That’s quite normal. She fractured her skull from the fall and died.”

“Even a young star is under such heavy pressure nowadays? Why would the girl kill herself?” Kang Zhi lamented.

“I heard it’s because she couldn’t find any attention at home. Her parents raised her with the sole purpose of using her to earn money to raise the younger brother. She didn’t feel the warmth from her family and it was why she chose to end her life.” Si Lin quite liked this little girl so she knew a bit of her background.

Mo Li still felt something was wrong. She went forward and pulled up a corner of the girl’s clothes and she found something off.

“These are…” Lu Xuan was surprised by the number of scars on the girl’s body. He frowned. “Looks like we have to re-examine the motive behind the girl’s death.”

“These scars are round in shape and do not adhere to the subcutaneous tissue. The surface of the scars is wrinkled, and the scars have the same shape,” Mo Li explained after checking.

Qin Xuan was shocked. “These… these are cigarette burns! Even though the traces of the burns have faded away, I am sure that they are cigarette burns!”

“But she was a high school student and a public figure with a clean record. Why would she have so many cigarette burns on her body?” Lu Xuan frowned.
