Chapter 179: Cancerous cells
Translator: Lonelytree
After school, Mo Li put on her earphones and fiddled with her phone. She was listening to something and her expression turned solemn from time to time.
She sauntered around aimlessly and when she looked up, she had arrived at Hong Yuan. She saw Ah Si not far away.
“Erm... Miss Mo Li, what are you doing here?”
“I was on the way to the hospital to check on the bodies but I suppose I have accidentally wandered here instead.” Mo Li raised her head and turned to the study the spots which Jiang Li and Zhuang Xin had fallen from.?If Ah Si is here, then Quan Yu is probably up there looking for clues. However, with that man’s knowledge, he has to know that any evidence found in private will not hold up in court.
Mo Li thus believed Quan Yu was just revisiting the crime scenes to see if he could find a new investigative direction.
Suddenly Mo Li grimaced because a shrill voice came from her earphones. She whipped her head towards Huan Yu which was opposite Hong Yuan. A bad feeling rose within her.
“Call Quan Yu, we’re going to Huan Yu now!” Ah Si had no idea what happened but he still called Quan Yu. Normally he wouldn’t take orders from anyone other than Quan Yu but this was Mo Li, he had to give her face. Quan Yu rushed down and they hopped into the car. Inside the car, Quan Yu asked nervously, “What happened?”
“A strange sound has just come from He Sen’s office.” Mo Li said seriously. Zhuang Xin was found dead after meeting He Sen; Jiang Li was in a relationship with He Sen’s driver; With regards to Zhao Li, her body was so damaged that temporarily Mo Li had not found anything crucial. However, based on Mo Li’s investigation, all 3 women died from blood loss and their stomachs were all empty.
Instead of saying they had committed suicide, perhaps they sought salvation through death after they had been tortured for too long... Furthermore, Mo Li also noticed an anomaly. Be it falling or drowning, the victims’ blood shouldn’t be in the condition she had found them in, there were too little blood in their bodies and also...
This morning, Mo Li finally got the results from the 3 women’s cellular extraction. Their organs were not damaged but their cells had turned cancerous!
However, Mo Li still had reservations about the cancerous nature of these cells. There was something strange about them. Cancerous cells had different size from normal cell. This was because cancerous cells lacked g-regulation protein, causing a change to the cellular structure. This was the most common method used to identify cancerous cells.
“So you mean He Sen has been using them for human experiments?” Quan Yu’s eyes darkened when he heard Mo Li. He had been trying to find out who was targeting the Quan Family. However, he was not expecting something like this.
“I have no clue. Ordinary cells have adhesive property, they normally gather together. This is why it is easy to pick out cancer cells in cultures. They will be larger than normal cells and have many nuclei. With H&E staining, one can observe the cells’ biochemical changes... But...” Mo Li didn’t know how to continue because things didn’t even make sense to her.
Cancerous cells are shown through high expression level of proto-oncogene and low expression level of tumor suppressor gene.
However, the cells she saw were different. They had the appearance of cancerous cells but they didn’t possess the ability to turn pathological. It was like someone had deliberately changed the growth trend of these cells. But was that possible?
Seeing how silent Mo Li was, Quan Yu changed the subject. “By the way, how did you know about what was happening inside He Sen’s office?”
Mo Li took out a business card and handed it to Quan Yu.
Quan Yu frowned as he looked at this ordinary business card. As Mo Li took out the cellular report from her bag, she reached over to tear off a corner of the business card.. An ultra thin listening device fell out.
