Su Li retracted his consciousness and looked at Ugly Woman, whom he had not seen for a few days.
Her face was covered by a veil, and she was carrying a few bags of medicine. By her side was Chen Quan, the fool, and her figure had become even thinner than before.
The only thing that hadn't changed was the pair of eyes that were exposed outside, which was completely devoid of light.
”You want to know how Liu Yin's case is progressing?”
Ugly Woman nodded heavily.
”There's a teahouse over there. Let's go sit inside and talk.” Su Li raised his hand and pointed to a certain place.
Ugly Woman nodded her head without hesitation. She had always been concerned about the young miss' case, even if she did not meet Su Li now, she had planned to look for her at Yi Village.
After they entered the teahouse, Su Li found a corner with no one around and sat down.
Song Lai took the initiative to take out the record book and Charcoal, and handed them over to Ugly Woman.
The Ugly Woman nodded gratefully at him, then wrote on the booklet, ”Who killed the young miss?”
”Sorry, until now, there hasn't been any clues regarding Liu Yin's suicide case.” Su Li answered evasively, he did not want the Ugly Woman to be too stubborn on this matter, and did not want the beautiful scene around him to disappear, ”But don't worry, I will not give up!”
The Ugly Woman nodded, and after drinking a mouthful of tea, he looked at Chen Quan, who was by his side.
Su Li remembered that there was an acupuncture formula in the Acupuncture Manipulation, which used all the acupuncture points on the head to make the person who lost their consciousness clear up.
However, this formula was also very dangerous. A moment of carelessness could cost the patient his life.
”Right.” Ugly Woman suddenly started writing again, ”When I was on my way to the medicine store, I heard that there was a skinning case recently.”
Su Li replied, ”Are you worried that I won't have the energy to investigate Liu Yin's case for you?”
The Ugly Woman shook his head and wrote on the booklet, ”There is one thing that I do not know, whether or not I can help the Fourth Miss.”
”Hmm?”
”I went to steal Miss's corpse in place of the pig cage. It was midnight then, and when Jing An and I rushed there, we discovered that half of the grave had been dug out by someone. Maybe it was the footsteps of Jing An and I that scared the person who dug the grave away.”
”Half of the body's grave was dug up?” Su Li was startled, a possibility flashed through his mind.
Could it be …
She suddenly stood up, ”Song Lai, quickly, return to the residence.”
Song Lai was startled by the anxious look on Su Li's face. He stood up, left behind the broken silver and quickly left the teahouse.
”Fourth Miss, what's wrong?”
He was really at a loss. When Ugly Woman was writing on the book, he was also there, but why did Su Li find it strange when he was still confused?
”The case has been delayed. I was wrong.”
”Hmm?”
”I was too arbitrary, using only those clues to point the Magistrate Wang in the wrong direction.”
”But I still... ”I don't understand!”
Su Li tilted his head and looked at Song Lai, ”It's not your fault that you didn't understand, it's just that my guess is too shocking, I'll explain it to you guys when we get to the yamen.”
Song Lai nodded his head, he was more and more curious, but he could only hold it in.
When he reached the magistrate court, Wang Quanan was looking at a case file.
Seeing Su Li's anxious expression, he put down the case file and asked, ”Have you found something?”
Su Li walked up and poured himself a cup of cold tea to drink. Then, he placed his hands on the table and looked straight at Wang Quanan, ”Skinned case, it might become a big case.”
”Why?”
”I have a guess, but it requires a lot of risk.”
