“Not all the numbers may be correct, but the huge sums of the transaction are definitely right. Also, I remember the amount of the monthly expenses and overall ledger amount very clearly. I’ve written them all here.”

Fu Jin reported as he took the bottle of water from Nian Xiaomu and drank a mouthful of it.

The look on his face seemed to show that he was relieved from a huge burden.

Nian Xiaomu hurriedly picked up the accounts sheet he had replicated and took a glance before muttering, “I’ve something else to attend to, I’ll go now. If Manager Hong comes in later, please inform him.”

“Alright, no problem,” Fu Jin replied.

With the accounts sheet in her hand, Nian Xiaomu left the factory speedily.

Once she was inside her car, she gave Mo Yongheng a call.

“I’ve gotten the accounts sheet from the factory, I’ll be right back…”

Nian Xiaomu had yet to finish her words when she realized that another call was coming in.

It was from Fan Yu.

“I’ll call you back later.” Nian Xiaomu hung up Mo Yongheng’s call and was about to call Fan Yu back when his call came in again.

She hurriedly picked it up.

The following second, Fan Yu’s gentle voice sounded from the other end of the line, “The report for the lighter has come out. There are fingerprints on it, but because the lighter was destroyed in the fire, they weren’t able to retrieve a complete fingerprint for testing.”

There weren’t any fingerprints, meaning that it would be more difficult for them to find the arsonist.

Nian Xiaomu’s brows furrowed before she heard Fan Yu speak again.

“Although there weren’t any complete fingerprints collected, there’s a new discovery from the lighter.”

Nian Xiaomu abruptly sat upright in her car as she asked, “What discovery?”

“There are signs of a bloodstain near the striker of the lighter. It’s been stained with human blood. Preliminary investigations suspect that when the arsonist was burning things, he or she may have accidentally burnt his or her finger. When they instinctively tried to release their hand from the lighter, he or she may have gotten scratched by the striker, which was why there was human skin and bloodstains left on it. As the striker was left under the cabinet coincidentally, it wasn’t burnt by the fire. The newest DNA report is already out.”

Fan Yu’s words sounded clear with a pause between each word.

Nian Xiaomu’s grip on her phone tightened as she asked, “Who is it?”

Fan Yu replied, “The police have entered the DNA sequence into their database for comparison, and weren’t able to find any matching DNA. That means that the person has no previous criminal record.”

“…”

Why would someone with no criminal record be so daring as to set fire to the Mo Family’s factory?

Who would this person be?

Nian Xiaomu had no clue at all.

However, if they weren’t able to find this person and allowed them to stay unpunished by the law, they wouldn’t be able to guarantee that the same thing would not happen after they rebuilt the factory!

Fan Yu went on, “I’ve seen the patrolling route of the guards in the Mo Family’s clothing factory. Manager Hong is an extremely cautious person. If an ordinary person wanted to set fire to the place, they would only be able to do so from the outside. To be able to sneak into the factory and enter the accounting office without alerting anyone, that person has to be someone from the inside.”

“You’re suspecting that it was done by a worker from the factory?” Nian Xiaomu was stunned for a moment before she started to frown.

Such speculation made her instinctively have some doubts.

She saw for herself how devoted the workers were towards protecting the factory. How could it be one of them?

“Right, there’s an unconfirmed discovery as well.” Fan Yu hesitated for a moment before going on, “The fingerprint on the lighter wasn’t complete, but from the position of the remaining part of the fingerprint that was left, they could vaguely guess that the arsonist used his or her left hand. We can’t rule out the possibility that he or she might be a left-hander.”

Left hand, left-hander.

Someone without a prior criminal record.

A certain idea flashed past Nian Xiaomu’s head and her eyes turned sharper as she exclaimed, “I know who it is!”
