Chapter 232 - A Taunt
Chapter 232: A Taunt
Xiao Ming treated Xiao Yue so differently before and after she had offended the Quan Family due to Mo Li. This is all that bitch’s fault. Xiao Yue took a deep breath and turned to Qiao Qing who was pushing Mo Zheng up the ramp. The enemy of an enemy is my friend. Qiao Qing has been in the Mo Family for years already, I refuse to believe that she has no complaints about the bitch. If I can get her to work with me, we can work together to bring down Mo Li.
With a new goal set, Xiao Yue put on a smiling face and walked over, “Sister Qiao Qing…”
…
On the balcony, Mo Li took in the fresh scent of the garden. She leaned against the balcony rails, unaware of the plots happening inside the house.
Xiao Rui didn’t say anything, he crossed his arms before his chest, waiting for Mo Li.
Mo Li looked at Xiao Rui seriously and said, “There’s a new victim?”
Xiao Rui frowned. “This case is already closed. My superior hasn’t opened a new case so I can’t say anything. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be heading back in.”
“Qiao Qing is already conscious, aren’t you going to question her?” Mo Li couldn’t care less about the man’s superior, she only wanted to find the real killer to put the girls to rest.
Xiao Rui glanced sideways at Mo Li as if not expecting her to be so pushy, “Qing Qing has just been released from the hospital, her emotions are still very unstable. Do you want me to traumatize her?”
“Only she knows why Wei Lan went to 22 High School. Plus don’t the victims deserve the truth? Perhaps she didn’t see the killer in person but she would be familiar with Wei Lan’s movement that day. Why was Wei Lan at 22 High School? Wei Lan took the brain-enhancing pills but instead of finding a paper note in her stomach, the note was burnt beside her body, why is that? Don’t you find that strange?”
Xiao Rui was a good detective, he naturally spotted these anomalies but his superior had the intention of suppressing this case. Furthermore, whenever he tried to ask Qiao Qing about it, the girl would cry. Xiao Rui was flustered when that happened.
“Regardless, you are not part of this case anymore.”
“Do you want me to get Elder Lin to come talk to your superior?” Mo Li’s tone was slightly threatening. This was also the part that confused Xiao Rui. How did this girl befriend so many powerful characters? Mo Li pushed “Plus, do you know what are the consequences if your superior finds out you’ve used illegal methods during the case investigation?”
Xiao Rui narrowed his eyes at Mo Li. He never expected the girl to threaten him outright. He was incensed. Just as he was about to retort, his phone suddenly rang.
“Boss, I received a strange email on Headmaster Shen’s tablet earlier. Look.”
“Is this some kind of password?” Xiao Rui studied the email Kang Zhi forwarded to him. The email was filled with strange numbers.
“Wait, boss, I have a new email coming in.” Kang Zhi on the other end of the phone suddenly uttered. Then the new email was sent to Xiao Rui. The new email was a picture of Mo Li and Xiao Rui looking at the phone. It was appended with a simple greeting. “How are you guys doing?”
“Get the password to the decryption team now…”
When Mo Li heard that, she frown. They still haven’t solved this?
“There’s no need to waste time on that. This should be the method Headmaster Shen used to communicate with the other murderer. Headmaster Shen majored in experimental physics, right? The decryption shouldn’t be that difficult… The numbers are all multiples of 3, so most likely 3 of them are in a group. If you use ABC rotation, B and C shouldn’t be larger than 30… So the cipher is…”
Kang Zhi on the phone was surprised. He didn’t realize that Mo Li was even good at decryption. If Mo Li was to join their group, many of their cases would be solved.
“So what is the cipher?” Xiao Rui looked at Mo Li.
“Each set of number should correspond to a book, the page number, the line number and the character number. For example, this set of 249 27 9, it could be page 249, line 27, the 9th character of some book.”
“Kang Zhi, bring all the books from Headmaster Shen’s office and study to the station.”
Mo Li thought to herself. But what kind of text would Headmaster Shen use? It wouldn’t be exercise books, would it?
“Oh, by the way, boss, we’ve looked into the background of the delivery person for the brain-enhancing pills. The person’s identity information is fake, the person doesn’t even exist.”
“Hmm… What about these 2 emails, can you trace their IP addresses?”
