C31 (1/2)
Ugly Woman bit down very hard. Most of his tongue was broken, so he could only save his life and not his tongue.
When the doctor was summoned, Ugly Woman had already fallen into a coma.
Seeing that the case was about to be solved, the clues ended just like that!
Song Lai's head drooped, as though he had suffered a major blow.
Wang Quanan was also startled, he had never seen a woman as strong as Ugly Woman, if not for Su Li's interrogation, even if he punished her with punishments, her mouth might not have been pried open.
Only Mo Lianjin stood there blandly, the corners of his mouth slightly pursed. He raised his eyes, did not look at the Ugly Woman who was being treated by his doctor, but instead stared at Su Li.
After a long time, the doctor finally wiped away the sweat on his forehead. ”I've finally stopped bleeding. I've managed to retrieve my life, but I can't keep my tongue. I'm afraid I won't be able to speak again in the future.”
”Doctor, how long until she wakes up?” Su Li asked.
”One day at the least, three days at the longest.”
Wang Quanan sent his people to the doctor to catch the medicine, and then looked at Su Li, ”Fourth Miss, the painter has invited you, do you want to start painting now?”
Su Li nodded his head, and rubbed his forehead tiredly, ”I'll leave the rest of the matters to you, after drawing the pictures, please send someone to send a copy to Yi Village, you must quickly find out the identity of the Ugly Woman, I suspect that there will be more dead bodies appearing.”
”What?” Wang Quanan's face changed as he quickly called for the official to do some work.
Now that there were four dead, if another one died, the official's hat would be considered as finished!
Su Li paced back and forth in the dungeon with a troubled expression. Her pressure was no less than Wang Quanan's.
”Fourth Miss, should we interrogate Chen Quan again?” Song Lai suggested.
Su Li stood still, solemnly pursed his lips, then shook his head.
”Ugly Woman would rather die than reveal who the culprit is, it should have two purposes. Firstly, the culprit is someone even more important than her life, if she dies, it would be difficult for us to guess who the culprit is based on her identity and background. Secondly, she is not worried about Chen Quan divulging anything.”
”Huh?” Song Lai said with a sullen face, ”Then do we still need to continue investigating the background of the Ugly Woman?”
”Yes, but at the same time, we still need to find the common denominator of a few dead people, and then compare them with the background of Ugly Woman. We will do our best to deduce the identity of the next dead person, or the identity of the culprit.”
Just as Su Li finished speaking, the painter was invited in by an official.
She did not stay any longer. She called Song Lai, brought along an official and immediately left.
”Fourth Miss, where are we going?” Song Lai asked.
”To the first victim's house.”
When Su Li led the others out of the dungeon, they found out that Mo Lianjin had also followed them.
