Chapter 160: Spices
Mo Li frowned. She questioned, “Something doesn’t sit right. Ah Si, you told me that Jiang Li is not that likeable of a person so why was she so nice to Deng Chen?”
Ah Si was flummoxed as well. Quan Yu chuckled. “It’s because Jiang Li is a gold digger.” While Ah Si was confused, it clicked for Mo Li. She gasped, “So that is why Deng Chen went to custom make the cuff links.”
Ah Si felt like his boss and female boss were on a completely different wavelengths. What are they talking about?
Quan Yu sent his people to investigate and it was as he and Mo Li expected. Deng Chen had been interacting with Jiang Li as his boss, He Sen. Deng Chen gave Jiang Li the best of everything. However, that day after he drove his boss to find Zhuang Xin, Deng Chen sat in the car to wait.
In his free time, he took out his phone to look. He was intrigued by this suicide livestream. As he clicked into it, he saw Jiang Li fall down from the balcony. Deng Chen froze to the spot like he was pinned there. His body was cold.
He heard a loud thud and then the ground was colored with red blood and white brain matter. The chill seeped deep into his bones. He glared at the people who cheered on the livestream. At that moment, Deng Chen decided to murder the whole world so that Jiang Li would have company in death.
The avenging angel came to Deng Chen and he managed to get his hands on Wu Yong. Deng Chen believed that only by murdering everyone involved, his heart would finally be at peace.
He used an extremely cruel and crazy method to torture and then kill Wu Yong. However, after the deed was done, Deng Chen couldn’t even lift his leg anymore. It felt like his lungs were closing in. The reality of what he had really done hit him like a truck. Deng Chen was afraid, so very afraid… not because of remorse but because he might be captured.
He escaped from the crime scene and the night felt much colder than usual. Deng Chen knew that the police would be coming after him. He couldn’t allow himself to be captured because he still had more people to kill. The next person on his list was his boss, He Sen!
If not for this bastard who had to run into Jiang Li at the night club, then his disguise wouldn’t be exposed and Jiang Li wouldn’t abandon him.
Inside the homeless man’s hovel, Deng Chen took out a coin. He flipped it. If it was heads, he would make his move; if it was tails, he would stay on a low profile for the time being. Deng Chen failed to catch the coin and the coin rolled on the ground. The coin continued to roll until it got stuck inside a gap. It was neither heads nor tails.
Deng Chen lifted his head and looked at the streetlight above him. The yellow light looked so gentle. Deng Chen took out his phone and called a number. To the busy dial tone, he uttered, “Li Li, it’s me… How are you? I miss you so much.” Naturally no one answered him, no one would answer him on this number anymore.
…
“So how did Deng Chen die?” Quan Yu turned to Mo Li and asked.
“Similar to the first victim, Zhao Jing. He died from drowning.”
“So, these deaths are related to Huan Yu Entertainment after all?” Ah Si studied Deng Chen lying on the table. Sounds like Young Master has to go see Miss Nie Li this time.
“I’m not done.” Mo Li frowned, displeased that she had been interrupted. “Similarly to Zhao Jing, this victim’s blood has been frozen and his stomach is filled with cooking spices.”
Instead of a murderer, the killer was more like a chef. Similar to Mo Li who would cook to relieve her stress, this culprit appeared to have a hobby in cooking. However, Mo Li always worked with actual food ingredients, while this person worked with human body and flesh.
“We should go to Nie Li now and ask her, what exactly Huan Yu Entertainment is up to.”
