Chapter 141: Uncle Quan Er

"Sister Xin didn't tell me anything beyond that..." Then Zhou Kui gasped in horror, "Miss Mo Li, you're not suspecting me of killing her, are you? I didn't do it! It's not me! If anything, it is that Nie Lie. You should find out what did she tell our Sister Xin in private that day?!" Then Zhou Kui's emotions started to fray. "No, why am I even answering to you?!" Zhou Kui grabbed the officer beside her. "Nie Li is her agent. She is not going to help Sister Xin. No, you should capture her! She's also a suspect!" Zhou Kui pointed at Mo Li.

Honestly, the officer also didn't know much. He was told by his superior to cooperate with Mo Li and that was what he did... He was only following his orders.

Mo Li signaled for Ah Si to haul the unhinged Zhou Kui out of the room. Mo Li then turned to study Zhuang Xin on the autopsy table. When Ah Si returned, Mo Li asked, "Does Zhuang Xin know the woman from the previous case?"

Ah Si thought about it, "They should have seen enough but they're not friends. The woman was not really that likeable of a person." Ah Si was telling the truth.

First, there was the car accident that injured Rou Rou and his father, then the murder of the woman who worked for Quan Yu and now this Zhou Xin. Was there a connection between them?

"The 3 of them didn't know each other?"

Ah Si shook his head.

Perhaps the 3 cases are unrelated? Mo Li frowned. Am I overthinking this... I better start the autopsy and then go from there.

At the Quan Family Home in Pearl River.

"Kid, you've been coming later and later these day!" Quan Yu nodded when he heard his Uncle Quan Er. Then he turned to head to his own room. He only took two steps when Quan Er said, "Kid, sometimes you have to chase after happiness yourself."

Hearing that, Quan Yu stopped. He turned around and looked at his uncle rather helplessly.

"You have to spend more time with the girl, don't just help her from the dark, how is she going to know it's you who have been shielding and protecting her? How is she going to know how you feel?"

Quan Yu coughed with some embarrassment. "I came back late because I had something to do recently."

"In any case, I heard that Xiao Li is going to make a big move soon. Should we notify the rest of the family?"

Quan Yu sighed. It appeared like his second uncle didn't know that the crazy woman, Nie Li had already made her move.

"Second uncle, if you don't go to rest soon, second auntie is going to be so mad at you."

Uncle Quan Er laughed. "Kid, you've learned to use words to distract me. If you don't want me to launch my own investigation, then you should just tell me honestly. How old is she and what does she do for a living?"

Quan Yu laughed drily once he realized after so many turns, the topic had returned back to this. "Second Uncle, don't you worry about me. There is nothing tangible happening on my end yet!"

"Well, if you say so. But once there's any progress, you need to inform me. Trusting me is better than trusting those old geezer back home."

"Don't worry, second uncle."

"Also if anything happens to Xiao Li, remember to tell me too."
