The Side Character’s Hidden Boss! Chapter 384 - The Chinese Five Elements

Chapter 384: The Chinese Five Elements
Translator: Lonelytree
Mo Yun was extremely familiar with the voice on the phone. It was due to his familiarity that his face turned ugly. Recently, he noticed that Xiao Rui had become unnaturally close to Mo Li. However, before this, Xiao Rui should have had no interaction with Mo Li. Why would their relationship suddenly improve so much over a short period of time?
Plus, it was already 8 pm. Why would a man be calling a girl like Mo Li? Mo Yun couldn’t help the unease in his heart. Xiao Rui is not planning to pursue my little sister, is he? If the incident with Xiao Yue didn’t happen, Mo Yun might have considered it but now his impression of the Xiao Family couldn’t be worse. Furthermore, Xiao Rui was a police officer, Mo Yun would not allow his sister to be an officer’s wife!
“No way, I do not approve!” Mo Yun shouted and then hung up. Mo Li groaned as if disrupted by the noise. She covered her ears with a pillow and continued to sleep.
Xiao Rui on the other end of the line was confused too. Since the families were close, he knew that it was Mo Yun who yelled at him. What is this man talking about? Xiao Rui glanced at the time. What is he doing in his little sister’s room so late at night? The people of the Mo Family sure are weird.

Early the next morning, Mo Li woke up and searched for her phone. She was surprised that she had slept so soundly. Looks like I need to train my stamina further or else I wouldn’t be able to help Quan Yu cure his heart. Mo Li glanced through her caller’s list and noticed Xiao Rui call her at 8 pm yesterday night. She missed it. He was probably calling to tell me that Li Min’s killer has been captured.
Mo Li called Xiao Rui back. Xiao Rui filled her in on the latest update. “So you suspect there is a bigger conspiracy at work? I agree with you. Did you notice that according to the Chinese Almanac, both Qi Yan and Li Min were both in the year of Gold? There might be some significance to that. According to Chinese Medicine, there are five elements to everything, they are gold, water, wood, fire, and earth. The different elements can overcome each other.”
Right after Mo Li said that Xiao Rui received another call. “Boss, a new tenant at Jing Yue Estate died yesterday night. We just got the report.”
Xiao Rui frowned. “What is the cause of death during the preliminary investigation? Is there something suspicious about the case?”
“The crime scene has been sealed and the death seems accidental. But…” Kang Zhi thought back to the report given to him by the local police. The local officer thought this was a normal accident. However, they had found a mahogany sword at the crime scene and Kang Zhi decided to call Xiao Rui about it.
After ending the call with Kang Zhi, Xiao Rui called Mo Li and Lu Xuan. The estate was close to the coroner’s office so Lu Xuan and Qin Xuan arrived first. Mo Li and Ah Ao arrived half an hour later.
The crime scene was on the 7th floor of one of the apartments. This was a 3-bedroom apartment with 4 young people living in it.
Zhou Chi was the one who reported the incident to the police. He was in poor health due to uremia. He relied on streaming to earn money to treat his illness.
The other two were a pair of husband and wife. The husband was weak and worked in a small workshop. The wife was big and burly. During the day, she earned extra money picking up trash, while at night, she sold pancakes and fruits at the near market. They didn’t have high income so they didn’t have children.
When Mo Li arrived at the scene, the scene was not that strictly protected. Xiao Lu from the forensic department was checking the door lock. Two police officers and three tenants sat in the living room.
The woman looked sad. As she wiped away her tears, she muttered, “Why did you have to die when you are so young? I told you to drink less, why didn’t you listen to me?”
Zhou Chi sighed. His face was pale.
The husband’s face was filled with more fear than sadness. Perhaps from his perspective, dying early was not so bad.
Xiao Rui didn’t hurry to investigate the crime scene. Instead, he pulled the local officer out the door and asked him about the initial investigation report.
“Everything looks normal. We received a call this morning that said a woman had died so we hurried over. We split up the witnesses and interviewed them. Zhou Chi was livestreaming into the middle of the night yesterday night. The wife said she went to call the deceased for breakfast because she had prepared the food for both her husband and the deceased. No one answered her. She knocked on the door and the door swung open. She walked in and discovered the deceased.” The officer wiped at his sweat and concluded, “Everyone has an alibi.”
“Everything’s normal in the victim’s room? No sign of forced entry?” Xiao Rui turned to Xiao Lu.
“That’s a negative..” Xiao Lu stood up to answer.
