Chapter 12 (1/2)

Once Zhuo Qing finished talking, everyone immediately looked at the dead body. That’s right. His clothes were cleaned and well-ironed and his shoes were spotless. Somewhat, his hair was carelessly bound. Not to mention that he was a criminal in prison for two months, how could he have new clothes and shoes?

Wu Zhi Gang asked loudly: “Where was the bailiff who guarded the prison last night?”

One medium build man stood aside silently next to a small bailiff. He hurriedly stepped forward one step and whispered: “Yes, it was I (Xiaoren) and Liu Wu.”

“What’s the matter? How could he change into new clothes?”

The bailiff sheepishly replied: “Report back to Daren, Lin Family’s housekeeper Li Ming came to visit Lin Bo Kang yesterday night. He scolded Lin Bo Kang because he did not wash his face and rinse his mouth for so many days. He hoped to deliver one set of new clean clothes. We saw them as master and servant with deep emotions. He also only brought the clothes. We let him go in but he only stayed inside for one incense stick time (about 30 min) and then he left.”

One incense stick time seemed somewhat too short to kill someone.

After being silent for a while, Lou Xi Yan asked in a low voice: “After Li Ming left, you all could go in to check on Lin Bo Kang whether or not he was still alive.”

Although Lou Xi Yan had not gotten angry but the small bailiff still did not dare to raise his head and watch him.

He closed his eyes anxiously to tell about yesterday’s situation: “Answering to Prime Minister, when Li Ming came, it just so happened that it was windy and raining. The biggest storm. The tree outside of the prison was blown by the wind and fell down to smash the outside of the prison door. We were occupied to carry the branch. A moment later, Li Ming came out and still helped us to move it together. He left afterwards. Then at that time our clothes were drenched and we had to change our clothes. It was already very late at night. There was no patrol in the prison cell until just recently when Daren wanted to bring the criminal. Only then we found…” He was dead…

“One group of idiots!” Wu Zhi Gang’s palm was resting on the small bailiff’s official hat. These group of brats unexpectedly made a fool of himself in front of Prime Minister Lou. It probably made Prime Minister Lou to believe that he was this kind of person that couldn’t supervise and control the prison!

Lou Xi Yan absolutely did not see him in this situation and said heavily: “Li Ming.” Li Ming was the last person to see Lin Bo Kang alive. He surely knew what happened!

“Yes.” The small bailiff hurriedly ran to go out.

The dead body was still laying on the ground like that, it was really somewhat scary for some people. Wu Zhi Gang hurriedly pandered and said: “Prime Minister Daren, this dead body’s examination was done and there was a heavy yin air in the prison (from yin-yang, yin represents dark while yang represents light/bright). You should first rest in the lobby. Do not get infected by the bad luck.”

Lou Xi Yan turned around and just happened to see Zhuo Qing’s two eyes that were watching at the dead body tentatively. She already stepped out of the prison cell but stopped when Lou Xi Yan suddenly asked: “What do you say?” Asking one youngster this question seemed ridiculous, but Lou Xi Yan’s intuition thought that this youngster’s answer would not be the same.

“I…” Zhuo Qing hesitated for a moment. However, knowing that the cause of death of the deceased was suspicious while watching without doing anything were contrary to her professional ethics and code of conducts.

With a sigh, Zhuo Qing answered: “I want to go in to have a look.”

“Impudent!” This was an eccentric youngster who was at the main hall a moment ago. He wanted to make a noise on this situation now.

The bailiff’s were about to throw him out when Zhuo Qing was trying to come into the prison cell.

Lou Xi Yan’s mood was rather good and he smiled when he spoke: “Let him go in.”
