C58 (1/2)

”I said, I don't dare to hide it.”

Qian Laicai explained the matter with tears and snot running down his face.

Originally, this fellow wanted to steal Hu Guangzhuo's accompany in death, but upon arriving at that place, he became terrified. Thus, he hesitated for a moment at that place, until a black shadow swept past.

He was scared out of his wits and ran. In the process, he kicked the sharp blade.

After he finished speaking, Qian Laicai endured the pain from his ten fingers as he kowtowed.

”Ladies and gentlemen, please understand that this isn't something this one did. This one only had the heart of a thief for her dead, but I don't have the guts to do that …”

Wang Quanan looked towards the officials at the side. He was unwilling, but could only admit his defeat, ”Find a doctor for him to see.”

”Alright, Lord Magistrate.”

Su Li wasn't as discouraged as Wang Quanan, who instead had a trace of hope.

”Qian Laijin, do you remember the direction that the black shadow fled towards?”

”Remember, did this one bring all of you to see it, and then there was no crime?”

Su Li looked at Wang Quanan, and Wang Quanan nodded in agreement.

Only then did Qian Laijin's tears turn into a smile. He felt as if he had been lucky enough to get his life back.

After they left the dungeon, Su Li told them about the autopsy situation in the rear hall.

When Wang Quanan heard that Su Li had privately examined a corpse, he could not help but rub his brows, feeling a headache.

”Fourth Miss, if this Hu Family person really comes, this official …”

”Don't worry about that for now, Hu Guangzhuo's death was caused by humans, can we start a case now?”

”It can be, but …”

Su Li knew what Wang Quanan was worried about. If she did not personally examine the body, then she would have no evidence to support her investigation. Although she could file an investigation, but if someone from the Hu Family came to sue her, she would still suffer!

”It's fine. If worse comes to worst, you should just let the official take it easy.”

Wang Quanan did not know whether to laugh or cry, and then carefully glanced at the silent Mo Lianjin.

He knew that Su Li was highly regarded by this Fifth Prince. If he dared to beat her up, who knows who the person who was beaten up in the end would be.

”Since Hu Guangzhuo's death is not a serious illness, then his case and the peeling case can be merged into a case investigation.”

Su Li thought for a moment, then shook his head: ”I think that the possibility of two cases getting involved is not high, but that isn't impossible either.”

”Hmm?” A few of them looked at Su Li curiously.

”Firstly, the death of Hu Guangzhuo, every case has a motive to kill, but in Hu Guangzhuo's case, the culprit might not have realized it, it's because of his fight with Hu Guangzhuo, which caused Hu Guangzhuo's death. As such, the motive to kill in this case is very vague, if we cannot find the motive to kill, then it is like having no direction, it is very thorny.”

When they heard this, the few of them fell silent.

”Secondly, there is the skinning case. As of now, our motive towards the criminal is also very blurry, so we cannot exclude the possibility that the person fighting with Hu Guangzhuo hates him too much. After his burial, we still have to go and skin him to vent our hatred.”

”Then if the case has nothing to do with Hu Guangzhuo's death, then why did the culprit skin a dead person?” Song Lai was more inclined to have the two cases merged into a case.

Wang Quanan also nodded in agreement.

Su Li spoke in a serious tone, ”My suggestion is, although it's a bit troublesome, but we should split our troops into two paths and make it safer. One path should be filled with people searching for skinning cases, the other path should be filled with people investigating Hu Guangzhuo's death.”

Wang Quanan pondered for a moment, then said: ”Then the officials will lead people to investigate the case, we will hand over the case of Hu Guangzhuo to Fourth Miss, how about it?”

Su Li nodded her head in agreement. Her wounds still needed more recuperation, and she could not run around any longer. Wang Quanan's arrangement was just as she wished.

The few of them had lunch at the yamen's yamen. Because Mo Lianjin was also there, Wang Quanan seemed to be a lot more reserved.
