Chapter 586: To look at a dead body
What are the odds indeed!! She watched the way he voraciously explained with much enthusiasm, almost frothing at the mouth because of excitement. It was undeniable how much he wanted to claw his way into the mystery, open it layer by layer like an onion and dive inside. He had basically met a locked door and he had a quarter of a broken key which stopped him from pushing further but he was desperate to kick the door down forcefully and peek inside.

Think about the young ones on my team, they should be able to enjoy such a fairy piece of meat."

Pd Xiaobo who was almost close to hyperventilating reigned himself in and put his hands down.
"CEO," he said with so much unwillingness in his voice. The aggrieved expression in his eyes was blatantly accusing her of something, unfairness perhaps, or maybe cowardice.
"Pd Xiaobo, have you thought about the rest of the investigative team if even your source was by chance murdered. It means someone somewhere does not want any eyes on this case. If they are willing to go as far as making a murder resemble a suicide that a qualified educated medical examiner also declared a suicide what does that say to you?"
"It’s not as simple as it looks." He mumbled.
