Chapter 473: Team Leader Xu's Nose Beats Even a Police Dog…
After saying that, Xu Mo kept staring at the man.
The latter widened his eyes, looking very surprised; Xu Mo had gotten everything right, and based on the clues in the room, he reconstructed the situation in full detail.
From the man's expression it was easy to tell that Xu Mo had gotten everything right.
The police officers who had come with Xu Mo were also as surprised as the man.
Team Leader Xu's detective skills are getting more and more impressive!
Just by inspecting the scene, he directly reasoned out and reconstructed the situation.
To know, the bloody smell, the odor of waste and such that Xu Mo mentioned earlier, nobody had noticed.
It was because the perfume in the room was so strong that their noses were dulled, so they couldn't detect the faint, almost nonexistent bloody smell.
One must admit, Xu Mo's nose is so sensitive it is almost frightening.
Wang Dachuan couldn't help but flash a thumbs‑up at Xu Mo.
"Team Leader Xu, awesome, your nose is literally better than a police dog…" He was halfway through when he suddenly sensed a killing intent emanating from Xu Mo; Wang Dachuan immediately stopped the car, slapped himself, fell silent and stepped aside like a misbehaving child.
Not only the rank‑and‑file officers, even the veteran with abundant experience Han Fei hadn't noticed the details Xu Mo mentioned; the only detail he did notice was the Water Bill Notice on the door handle.
As soon as he saw the Water Bill Notice, he could already conclude that the female head of the household had been murdered, that her husband was the killer, and that she must have been dismembered and flushed away, otherwise the water bill wouldn't be so outrageous.
As for the bloody smell and the waste odor, he wouldn't have noticed those details if Xu Mo hadn't pointed them out.
At this moment, the elderly couple beside them showed a series of expressions: surprise, grief, anger.
All those emotions tangled together, and the old pair collapsed, unable to accept the reality, their bodies instantly went limp.
The quick‑reflex police officer steadied the two, preventing them from falling.
Held up by the officer and not falling, the old couple in that instant seemed to age dramatically; they couldn't believe their daughter had truly been murdered, and that the killer was their son‑in‑law.
"You beast, you… Haven't we been good enough to you? Why would you do this? Have you forgotten who fed you when you were starving? We bought you a car, a house, got you a job, and this is how you thank us?!" The father‑in‑law shouted increasingly angrily, finally grabbing a vase to smash at the man.
The officers again intervened to stop the irate elder; the poor old couple had already suffered enough, and the officers didn't want to watch them be taken in for their mistake.
Facing Xu Mo's almost supernatural reasoning and the old couple's accusations and even physical confrontation, the man could no longer hold back.
He glared angrily at his father‑in‑law and mother‑in‑law.
"You gave me a bite of food… yes, that's true, but have you ever regarded me as a human? My status at home is worse than an animal! The slut who was flirting with other men outside, I killed her; I smothered her to death, and when she begged for mercy before dying I finally felt like a man."
"You, you… let me go, I'll kill him! I want to avenge my daughter!" The old man tried to break free from the officer's restraint to avenge his daughter.
"You take the others back first, I'll handle this side." Han Fei used his body to block the enraged old couple while speaking to Xu Mo.
Seeing the situation reach this point, Han Fei didn't dare let the officers linger; he knew that further trouble would cause more problems, and that immediately taking the murderer back was the most urgent matter.
Xu Mo said nothing, merely nodded, urging the officers to escort the murderer out for a patrol and return to the Police Station.
After returning to the Police Station, everything went smoothly; the man gave a full, detailed confession of his motive and the killing process.
He grew up in an orphanage; as an adult, because of his personality and abilities he fared poorly, and by a twist of fate met a family looking to take in a Door-in-law Son-in-law, becoming their Reverse-in-law Son-in-law.
After becoming a Door-in-law Son-in-law, his life visibly improved; the cars and houses he never imagined were now his, along with a respectable job and a wife—a definite life winner.
But a Door-in-law Son-in-law is always looked down upon, especially by his wife, who constantly berated him.
One or two insults are tolerable, but years of lacking respect left him with no dignity; even Wai Zui Long Wang's arrival couldn't make him endure it.
Moreover, the man discovered his wife had been cheating behind his back, colluding with the neighboring Lao Wang to give him a green hat, and the long‑standing marital resentment peaked; in a rage he smothered his wife with a pillow and disposed of the body at home.
Afterwards, the two elderly parents, whose daughter was missing, tried to call the police, but the man kept delaying, citing that a disappearance under forty‑eight hours couldn't be filed, buying time until he could fully deal with the body, then finally went with his father‑in‑law and mother‑in‑law to report the case.
…
"You successfully captured the criminal and earned a reward—30% of Mi Duo Game Company."
Mi Duo Game Company? What the heck is that?
Xu Mo was very puzzled.
He was puzzled because he had never heard of the game's company's name, let alone know any famous games under it.
But Xu Mo knew the system would never reward trash to itself; there must be a reason it granted him 30% of this game company.
With his doubts, Xu Mo looked up the company online.
Mi Duo Game Company is a domestic game company; its valuation is low, and 30% of its shares are worth less than a million, even that only internal valuation; if sold, it might not even fetch fifty thousand.
Xu Mo also noticed that the company's sole game had just been released an hour ago, with virtually no downloads—a complete flop.
It can't really be rewarding me trash… with a try‑it‑out mindset, Xu Mo opened his phone's app store, downloaded the game, and prepared to test it, to see whether it would bring any surprise…
