You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 173

“Bai Rong, don’t come up here.” Gu Mingchen said in a serious tone as he scanned the inside of the room.

Bai Rong was confused, “Why? What’s up there?”

“Stop asking so many questions. If he tells you not to go up there, you stay down here.” Leng Qiuzun pushed Bai Rong aside and climbed up the ladder.

Although he had a lot of experience in solving cases, even he was disturbed by the sight that greeted him above.

Wang followed them up the stairs, but quickly came back down and kept a hand against the wall to support himself as he retched.

Bai Rong wanted to go upstairs, but two of Gu Mingchen’s men blocked her path, “Chief said you mustn’t go up there.”

“I’m not afraid.” Bai Rong said and was about to push past them when Leng Qiuzun came down the ladder and called the station.

Gu Mingchen jumped down the ladder after him.

“What’s the situation up there?” Bai Rong asked.

“I took a quick look earlier. There should be about six bodies up there.” Gu Mingchen explained.

“Six? Shouldn’t there be only two? I’ll have a look.”

Gu Mingchen grabbed Bai Rong by the arm, “We’ve found the bodies, so we’ll identify them with DNA tests and see if we can tell their time of death. Let’s head back to the hotel and reorganize our information.”

“Are you worried that I can’t handle the sight of dead bodies? Don’t worry, I’ve dissected plenty of dead bodies while studying abroad, so I won’t be scared.”

“I seriously advise you not to go up there.” Leng Qiuzun warned her after getting off the phone.

“I want to go up there. I was a doctor; I’ve seen my fair share of blood and gore.” Bai Rong was hell-bent on having a look.

Gu Mingchen looked towards Bai Rong and could see that she was determined.

“I’ll go up with you.” Gu Mingchen took the flashlight over from his men and adjusted the shape of the light to illuminate the entire room as he placed it in the middle.

Bai Rong braced herself and climbed up the ladder.

There was a certain distance between the top of the ladder and the entrance to the room, so Gu Mingchen reached his hand out to her to help pull her up.

That reminded Bai Rong of how he had done the same thing back then when they first met.

But she wanted to do it herself this time, so she climbed up without taking his hand, much to his dismay.

Once up there, she saw a lot of glass tanks as she started scanning the room from the entrance.

The largest tank was as tall as a person and was filled with a yellowish-brown liquid as well as the naked bodies of a couple.

Bai Rong saw the face of the female and said, “Gu Mingchen, I think that’s the girl from the footage.”

Gu Mingchen had already recognized her face at first sight and was worried that Bai Rong would be afraid, so he wrapped an arm around her waist and said softly, “I’ll stay right by your side.”

But she wasn’t afraid as she had seen plenty of dead bodies like those in the laboratory.

In fact, the ones she saw in America were a lot gorier than this.

However, she didn’t remove his hand as she continued to examine the bodies in the tank, “The woman has injuries on her body, neck, and limbs. Her genitals have been injected with a foaming agent of some sort. She was tortured to death and placed into this tank. If we’re lucky, we might still be able to find a male’s DNA inside her. As for the man, there are signs of bruising and swelling on his face. His eyes are wide open and there is a bulge in his belly. He was thrown into the tank while he was still alive.”

She then looked at the other two tanks next to it and saw that it contained dismembered body parts of a male and female respectively.

In the last tank, she saw the bodies of a woman and a newborn baby.

“The murderer was extremely cruel.” Bai Rong deduced.
