Chapter 949 - The Almighty Fed Her (2/2)
Bo Jiu paused before she glanced over to look at his beautiful expressionless face and lowered lids blowing the dumplings, his lashes trembling slightly. A wave of warmth spread through her.
She still remembered the day the Almighty’s family had moved to the house beside hers. Grandpa An had made dumplings and had called her over for some. Back then, she had still not known how to use chopsticks since she hadn’t been in China much ever since she had been born. She had used a spoon to scoop it up. Even though she had loved the dumplings dearly, it had taken much effort to pick them up.
Unlike the doll-like child sitting beside her, he had looked respectable even while eating dumplings.
In the end, he had seemed to have seen enough of her clumsiness and since she couldn’t seem to scoop the dumplings up, he had used his chopsticks to pick one, had blown on it lightly before stuffing it into her mouth. He had then spoken in a cold tone, “Your lack of intelligence isn’t living up to your smart looking face.”
Bo Jiu found it odd sometimes as these memories had started to pour out bit by bit after she had confirmed that the Almighty was the pet from her childhood.
It was a memory she couldn’t ever forget.
Indeed, Bo Jiu hadn’t forgotten about it before, but after she had become Z, there were many things which were destined to become precious memories she had to keep hidden.
Moreover, he was Qin Mo, a criminal psychologist, the person who caught people like her.
When the second dumpling arrived at her lips, Bo Jiu opened her mouth instinctively.
As she seemed very obedient, there was a visible smile on Qin Mo’s face.
Princess stared at the side, overwhelmed by jealousy. Even though his master was also patient towards him when he fed him, he had never been so tender or warm before.
Indeed, when a remnant of the dumpling was left on the corner of her lips, Qin Mo reached out and caressed it with her fingers, his eyes deep, capturing her gaze.
They sat side by side and because of Qin Mo’s actions, had come closer.
Even though she was eating, she could only smell the Almighty’s scent.
Sun rays splashed into the room as Qin Mo continued to feed the typing youngster. After passing one over to her, he would eat one.
The both of them were ravishing, their image was looking pleasant and beautiful. Madam Zhang, who stood at the door, hadn’t disturbed them ever since.
Bo Jiu had noticed it as well. The plate was filled with dumplings, half of which were exquisitely made while the other half was ugly and misshapen.
The Almighty fed her the ones which looked perfect and kept the ugly, misshapen ones for himself.
It was obvious who had made the ugly and misshapen dumplings.
Bo Jiu adjusted her expression as she stared at Qin after he had eaten the fourth dumping. “Is it nice?”
At times like this, a sweet little lover would agree that it tasted good before coming forward to coax her, the Tyrant CEO.
The Almighty didn’t follow the script though. “Do you wish to hear the truth?” Qin Mo asked calmly as he picked up another dumpling.
Bo Jiu: … She got it, the dumplings probably didn’t taste very nice.
In the future, if she couldn’t resist and ended kidnaping the Almighty, it would be best to just make him instant noodles. That was the extent of her culinary skills.
While her thoughts wandered, she hadn’t been aware that Qin Mo had made sure to place all the dumplings she wrapped onto his own plate. It had nothing to do with the taste, but rather the person who had made it.
After Qin Mo had fed her the last piece of dumpling, Bo Jiu paused and transferred all the relevant evidence onto her USB stick.
“Wait a minute.” Qin Mo’s long fingers tapped the screen. “There’s something wrong with this poster.”
With that, Bo Jiu moved her gaze over to the screen. There was indeed something wrong. The contents on the poster looked like a new Sacrifice poster.
“This is…”
Qin Mo felt his eyes deepened. “The next victim.”
With that, he took out his phone and called Director Huang. “I need your help to locate someone. No, it isn’t a witness for this case, it’s the next victim.”
“What are you saying? The next victim?” Director Huang bolted up from his chair abruptly.
Qin Mo spoke calmly and hadn’t made any excessive explanation, with only three words, “The Maiden’s Sacrifice.”
Those three words were enough for Director Huang to understand the situation, but he hadn’t realized a case which had been closed would have a continuation!
Director Huang felt a coldness like never before. “What did you find?”
“A lot.”
Director Huang frowned. “It’s going to be tough.”
“How so?” Qin Mo raised a brow.
Director Huang grabbed a wad of his hair, his anger still brimming within him. “Smith, that guy, he has already informed the media that the victim committed suicide. If this is a serial killer case, the higher-ups won’t be willing to announce it.”
Qin Mo watched as the youngster directed a gaze in his direction, his attitude indifferent. “A website shows records of the victim’s every action for the past month, all the way to that last video that went viral. She definitely didn’t commit suicide, she was murdered. You can take a look at the videos on the website. Even though they were all white-colored bottles, the one with the police isn’t the same thing, it isn’t the same bottle the victim had in the last video. The size isn’t the same. This shows that someone was there before the police came and swapped the evidence. If it hadn’t been a murder, why else would he have swapped out the evidence? If the higher-ups aren’t willing to announce it, there will be more victims to this case. Or do you intend to climb higher up the career ladder, which is why you are not willing to tell the truth you are clearly aware of? Are you just going to act like nothing happened?”
“F*ck, don’t use that on me.” Director Huang slapped the doors. “I’m just thinking of a way out.”
Qin Mo resumed is usual tone. “Hold a press conference and let them know how exactly she died.”
“You don’t have to tell me, I know that as well!” Director Huang was cursing him internally just a second ago, but the very next second, he broke into a smile. “If that’s the case, her mother won’t be in so much pain.”
Director Huang had seen the comments, Li Xue had given her statement to the crime squad and had heard her say, “This has nothing to do with her, she killed herself because of her inability to withstand the pressure.”
Director Huang understood why the victim’s mother had started crying. The internet wasn’t what was scary, but rather the lack of humanity in the real world.
Even though she had seen the victim’s mother crying, Li Xue had remained indifferent. “Isn’t it just an apology? I’ll do it, you can cry over your daughter since she is dead. What’s the point of crying to me over here?”
He couldn’t forget that mother’s eyes, she had been looking at Li Xue with hatred and despair.
But he didn’t have a solution at that time. He had watched as the mother pointed at him with trembling fingers. “You don’t have a solution? My daughter would never kill herself. Is that what everyone is saying right now? What about the girl just now? Isn’t she going to get the punishment she deserves? What’s the purpose behind my daughter’s struggle after such a long time?”
He had been stumped, it was as though someone had shut his throat.
He hadn’t known how to tell a mother that her daughter had been confirmed to have killed herself.
Now he could finally say something, he could finally live up to the uniform he was wearing as he told the mother, “There is still a way. We will never allow those that harmed others to leave scot-free.”
