285: Ghosts and Gods

Ghosts and Gods

Xiao Rui left the room with Kang Zhi. Only Yu Xuan and Mo Li remained in the room.1

"Flower Appraisal? You have met someone from this organization?" Yu Xuan looked up with interest.

Mo Li raised her eyes, shocked that Yu Xuan would know about Flower Appraisal. She asked, "Why? Have you heard of this name before?"

"Of course, it was them who taught me how to take revenge on Dong Yun. Now that I think about it, my sister and I must have been used by them. But either way, since Dong Yun is dead, it doesn't really matter anymore."

"How did you get in contact with Flower Appraisal?" Mo Li looked at Yu Xuan. Mo Li knew the woman would not tell her directly.

"You want to find Flower Appraisal? I can help you contact them but I have a condition." Yu Xuan looked at Mo Li.

"Name it but it's up to fate whether I can help you or not." Yu Xuan chuckled to herself when Mo Li said this. Mo Li had underestimated herself. Through Dong Yun, Yu Xuan knew that Mo Li had been on the list for Goddess of the Sea twice already. However, both times some unknown force came to stop her from being invited. 

"It's very simple. I was the one who swapped the oxygen tank, and I killed the man. I am the mastermind behind this murder and my little sister was being used by me. I coated the eyeball in chocolate and fed it to her. And that is the truth."

Mo Li knew that if they didn't go along with this new version of the story, Yu Xuan would not tell them anything about Flower Appraisal.

"You have guts." Mo Li was persuaded but she couldn't do much about this, after all, this was Xiao Rui's case. Mo Li didn't think she could change Xiao Rui's mind. The man just wanted to close the case, he only cared about fame and success. Furthermore, it was clear that he didn't want her to look further into this case.

"If I didn't plan ahead, do you think I would kill that man? I know that you are different from that dummy Xiao. We are both followers of consequentialism. But unlike you, I can forsake the rules and go for the most effective solution. However, you're different. For example, you only want to know the nature of Flower Appraisal, you do not even seem that keen to capture them."

"Interesting, but you got one thing wrong, I am not keen to capture them because that is not my job. Plus, if I want to, I have my own methods to deal with my enemies. I will help you get the best lawyer to sell your story but it is not because I am persuaded by your words."

Yu Xuan laughed. "Oh? Then why are you helping me?"

"Because in terms of probability, the majority of people are kind."

Yu Xuan was stunned. She shook her head helplessly. She felt her heart soften. "Miss Mo Li, do you believe in talks of ghosts and gods?"

...

Outside the police station, a girl walked past carrying a backpack. "The pair of sisters has been dealt with and so are the people from the Goddess of the Sea. I've prepared so many things but I didn't even get the chance to use them. Such a shame."

A voice came from her Bluetooth headset. "Be careful. After all, you're just an extra layer of safety net for this issue. The organization didn't expect you to do anything anyway."

"The last mission I had was to disguise as a nurse to steal the man away. This is so boring."

"Just be careful. Eventually, curiosity kills the cat. When that happens don't cry for the organization to come help you."

"Should I give them a little hint? Or else this is so boring. These people are so dumb."

"Be my guest, just don't go too far, Kerria."

The young girl smiled. She ended the call.

...

Inside the station at 8 pm.

"Kang Zhi, why don't you tell us about the cipher?"

"I realized that actually, the cipher was the exercise book called Navigation. Based on Mo Li's explanation, I compared it to the book's page number, line number, and word number. The translation is, the other emails have the detailed plans and arrangements for this case. Later we will teach you how to deal with the dead bodies, how to delete the camera footage, create an alibi and handle the police."

Xiao Rui frowned. "In that case, this case can be closed now." Since the connection to Flower Appraisal had been made, Xiao Rui knew that this case would go beyond his hands already.

"Thank you for your hard work."
