Su Li pushed Mo Lianjin towards the Qing Mu Clan members, ”I did acupuncture in the morning, and I should be able to hold on until noon. At noon, I will take some time to return to my residence to help you do acupuncture.”
Mo Lianjin frowned, a new case had arisen at this critical juncture, could it be that...
”I'll have Greenwood protect you in the dark.”
”No need. Before we go to the scene of the crime, I will first go to the infirmary to bring Stars Pet Chain Supermarket along.”
”Mm, be careful.”
Su Li waved his hand that was aching due to the pressure, and turned to follow the official towards the carriage.
Watching as the carriage sped away, Mo Lianjin looked at the clear sky, ”This time, will it still be him?”
Along the way, Su Li sat on the outside of the carriage and lifted the curtain, instructing the officials to go to the infirmary first.
”What case is this?” Have you been to the scene? ”
”Yes, sir. When Lord Magistrate felt that it was troublesome, he ordered his subordinate to wait outside the palace.”
”Tell me about it.”
”The deceased was the mistress of the second house in Wang Family. She had been inside the house for less than two years and her delivery was nearing. She was found by a servant girl in the house and died in a sundry room in the backyard.”
”Was the victim pregnant?” Su Li's face sank, ”Where's the child?”
”He's dead too …” was cut out alive. ”
”Has Song Lai gone over?”
”When I received the report, I requested coroner Song to report it.”
Su Li suppressed the discomfort in her heart, since she had been working for so long, she hated seeing the corpse of her child the most.
Arriving at the infirmary, he coincidentally saw Jian Zhihang teaching Da Wa school. Stars Pet Chain Supermarket was sitting on the side with its head resting on its back, looking expressionless, but there was a flowing light flashing in its eyes.
”Sister Li.” Just as Da Wa was about to put down his book and welcome Su Li, he was hit by Jian Zhihang's ruler. He smiled at her and continued to study.
Su Li nodded at Jian Zhihang, then looked at Stars Pet Chain Supermarket, ”There's a case, come with me.”
”Alright.”
The two of them got on the carriage, and the officials drove them to Wang Family.
Wang Family was twice as big as his previous Hu Family. He was a salt merchant who was allowed by the government, and he controlled the entire private salt trade in the Southern Spirit Kingdom. His annual official tax was the sum of several industries.
Wang Family had two sons, and they lived in the second branch of the eldest house.
It took her more than ten minutes to walk from the front yard to the back yard.
Outside the junk room, Magistrate Wang and Song Lai were present.
There were also dozens of people in different sizes present. Their clothes were gorgeous, and it was obvious that they were wealthy people.
One of the young men was sobbing, while an old woman was comforting him.
Seeing Su Li, the sobbing man immediately ran towards her.
When he was still a step away from her, he kneeled down, ”Juan Niang died such a miserable death, and my pitiful child, I beg Fourth Miss to find the culprit and give my wife and children justice …”
From his words, Su Li could tell that he was actually the second son of Wang Family, Wang Mingyang. The one who died was his wife who hadn't even been in his family for two years.
”I'll do my best.” Su Li nodded, he took a step back and walked towards Song Lai.
”Fourth Miss.” Song Lai opened his mouth, ”The people from the Wang Family said that they only believe in the Fourth Miss, and must wait for the Fourth Miss to come over before they can go in and check the situation.
Su Li's mouth twitched, the family really thought highly of her.
As he spoke, a middle-aged man walked over with large strides.
”Fourth Miss, my Wang Family has met with such misfortune, please take care.”
After the man finished speaking, the man who looked like a butler passed a stack of silver notes to Su Li.
This time, Su Li did not stand on ceremony and readily accepted the banknotes, ”This money, I will just treat it as a donation from my Wang Family. In the future, I will use it to treat the citizens' illnesses for free.”
The man nodded, then looked towards Magistrate Wang and said, ”Since Fourth Miss is here, then I will have to trouble you.”
”Shopkeeper Wang is too polite. This is what I should do.”
