Chapter 76.1
Zhou Sulun began to find his little sister unreasonable . How could someone confuse truth and falsehood like that? He didn’t want to continue arguing, so he went upstairs .

Zhou Yaya was mad like a crazy dog: “Fine, if you want to keep sucking up to Mu Rulan, whatever! I’m telling you, she’s a psycho! Jin Biaohu said she murdered someone . Soon enough she’ll lay her hands on you too!”
“You shut up!” Zhou Sulun couldn’t bear it any longer and turned back and pointed at her . She was the one who kept accusing a good person falsely, without evidence!
“Both of you!” Hua Fang came out from her study with a glum face .
“What are you doing, huh?! Do you know everything I’ve built is about to come crashing down? What are you fighting about, you think I don’t have enough work to do?!”
Zhou Sulun shut his mouth . Zhou Yaya turned to her mother, begging, “Mom! That b*tch won’t let me transfer! Can you just tell the directors that I want to transfer? I want to transfer schools immediately!”
“If you don’t want to go to school then just stay at home until the semester is over!” Hua Fang said, trying to suppress her anger .
“No!” Zhou Yaya screamed, “I want to transfer now! Mu Rulan’s the student council president . She can control everything, what if she wants to do something to me?!”
She was so agitated that she rambled on and on . Mu Rulan was a murderer who had killed someone!
“What can she do to you?” Hua Fang put her hand to her forehead and sighed deeply . Never had she felt that her daughter was this immature .

Now was the most difficult time for their family . It was fine if she couldn’t help, but couldn’t she at least stay quietly at home so Hua Fang didn’t have to worry about her?
“Anyways I want to transfer now!” Her daughter said firmly .
“Enough . ” Translated by The Novelst
“I said I want to transfer!”
“I said enough!” Hua Fang couldn’t stand it any longer and slapped her . The sound traveled through the air of the living room and Zhou Yaya fell to the ground, unable to balance .
She covered her cheek and looked at her mother, her eyes full of disbelief .
Hua Fang trembled in anger . “Zhou Yaya, are you not aware of the situation in this house? Do you think your father is still the mayor and you’re still his little princess? Well let me tell you that’s no more! There’s nothing left for us!
“Soon we’ll be living poor and it will be all because of you! It’s all because of you!”
Once she was done shouting, she turned away and walked back to her study . She didn’t want to see her daughter .

Zhou Yaya lay on the floor, Hua Fang’s words echoing inside her mind, eyes widening as her lips trembled, “Nonsense… all this… it’s all because of Mu Rulan . She’s the reason for all this!”
That was right! Mu Rulan was the one to wake the beast within her . Because of Mu Rulan, she had begun to feel jealous, to scheme, even wanting to kill someone! It was all because of Mu Rulan!
It was all her fault!
She was a murderer yet acted like an innocent victim . How despicable of her! She would never let her go easily!
Zhou Yaya was obsessed with that hatred, her heart distorting…

Public Security Bureau: Anatomy Room
The corpse was laid out on the dissection table, Liu Mian and Doctor Zheng starting the autopsy . Not far away, Mo Qianren and the leader of the police were watching .
The leader couldn’t bear the stench as Doctor Zheng made the first cut and put on a mask . Looking at Mo Qianren and the other two forensic scientists who did not cover their noses, instead choosing to withstand it, the leader couldn’t help but feel respect for them .
Usually they didn’t wear masks during autopsies, because there might be odors that might help with examination .

There wasn’t much to smell when the corpse was still intact, but as they continued, the smell was so heavy that even with a mask, the leader couldn’t bear it . Mo Qianren had both his hands in his pockets, brows deeply furrowed .
The organs…
Had already grown worms! Translated by The Novelst
When they cut into the belly, what came into sight was the rotten black viscera, white maggots crawling all over . It was disgusting .
Liu Mian turned away to wretch on the floor and Doctor Zheng frowned without such a large reaction .
“These are maggots,” he said, picking one up to examine .
In other words, a fly had flown into his mouth to lay eggs inside his belly . Due to the special weather and conditions, the development had slowed . The environment inside the body was not dry, instead wet and warm because the body had been sealed inside a cement wall . The several small holes in the wall allowed just enough oxygen for the larvae to survive, enabling them to hatch from their eggs .
If things went well, they could start by identifying the species of fly to investigate where they originated . The preliminary location could be locked to the area of Qinghe villa, since that was the closest to the resort with the highest possibility: the culprit had no reason to move the corpse so far just to hide it in one of those houses .
“Speaking of which, the threads…” The leader looked at the silver threads that had been removed from the corpse .
Was it the same murderer that had killed Wang Qiang? They should probably look for the owner of the factory that produced this thread again . That owner seemed suspicious .
Mo Qianren dazed off a little as he stared at the threads .
After that, several silver nails of different sizes were taken out, fourteen of them total . Each had been nailed into the neck, spine, wrists, elbows, knees, shoulders, and hips of the victim, connected by a silvery thread .
The aim was obviously to make this body into a human puppet doll .
“That’s insane!” The leader mumbled, looking at Mo Qianren . Respectfully, he said, “Mr . Mo, I believe you can help us catch this person, right? I’m sure you’d be interested in such a case . Or rather… I’m requesting your assistance in helping us solve this vile homicide!”
Mo Qianren didn’t say anything, turning away to walk slowly out of the anatomy room .
The leader blinked owlishly . “Is that agreement or not?” Rumors said that Mo Qianren was a weird character, and it looked like that was the truth .
Once again the unpleasant smell assailed the leader’s nose and he struggled to look back at the table .
