Upon seeing this, Su Pan’er furrowed her brows.
This case was really bizarre, just one side of the story was enough to determine the victim?
Isn’t this too ridiculous?
Jun Ruoxue also had a look of indignation on her face.
"What the hell? How can one person’s accusation be enough to determine the killer? This is disregarding human life and too much of a childish act!"
Inspector Liu and Qin Yi quickly glanced over the dossier and couldn’t help but nod; the reasoning really was far-fetched.
"No rush, there’s more to this case file."
Registrar Bai, looking professional, handed over another dossier.
This dossier was the after court trial evidence testimony.
It clearly recorded the process of how Lui Muyi was subpoenaed, and the testimonies of several witnesses found later. They all proved Lui Muyi to be guilty.
Su Pan’er quickly flipped through it, her brows creasing tighter and tighter.
Even after going through the entire dossier, she was still unable to deduce the doubtful points from the case file.
Inspector Liu was best at observing others. Seeing Su Pan’er’s deep concern for the case, but trying to find any trace of clues from a case file was easier said than done?
This continual deadlock was not a solution either.
Smiling, he said: "It’s getting late. You all look exhausted. How about I take this case back to the inn for closer scrutiny. Lord Zhang, what do you think?"
Finally, it was ti to leave!
Zhang Xin was naturally agreeable in his heart.
Smiling, he respectfully said: "Since Lord Liu requested, would there be any reason to refuse? This is a copy, feel free to take it. Just rember to return it once you’re done."
"Then, thank you, Lord Zhang."
After expressing his gratitude, Inspector Liu exchanged pleasantries and bid farewell.
Su Pan’er, along with the others, mounted the carriage and headed towards the postal relay building.
"Although they’re neighboring counties, there seems to be so differences in the customs of the people in Yongze and Changze County!"
Upon entering the carriage, Qin Yi couldn’t help but express: "Changze County is all mountains, but the fog is quite heavy. The County Magistrate of Changze County also gives off a shifty and cunning vibe, making one feel uncomfortable."
Su Pan’er quietly listened at one side, her thoughts turbulent.
Still thinking about the affairs of Old Xue and Lui Muyi, and judging by today’s reactions from County Magistrate Zhang, it seed like Old Xue’s days here are not easy. At his age, one can only hope nothing goes wrong.
There was no good solution for Lui Muyi’s case currently, which was truly botherso.
Forget it. She couldn’t think clearly right now. Maybe a good bath to clear her head back at the inn might lead to so insights.
At her side, the rascal pig was snoring loud. The scarf with the Words of Imperial Grant tied around its neck was particularly eye-catching.
This comical pig, having obtained the treasure from the cave, disappeared for two days. But when Su Pan’er and the others were about to set off, it eerily appeared by her side again.
When they had previously arrived, Jun Ruoxue, upon seeing the rascal pig, was clamoring to catch it, and naturally got fooled by this comical pig again.
Seeing the pig sprawled out on its back sleeping and looking very content, it probably didn’t even know when they got off the carriage earlier, right?
Thinking of this, Su Pan’er purposely pushed it with her hand, causing it to fall off the seat and into the middle of the carriage.
The rascal pig rolled over, and continued sleeping sprawled out on its back.
Qin Yi burst into laughter!
"Sotis I feel that having a pig that understands human speech around isn’t good. Although it’s a pig, it doesn’t behave like one at all."
This robbed him of his ability to secretly inhale her sweet scent as he once could.
It left Qin Yi feeling sowhat awkward.
Su Pan’er laughed too!
"Indeed, it’s truly not like a pig. But actually, this is better, it saves you from being touchy-feely all the ti."
Her words imdiately made Qin Yi feel even more wronged.
"Master, Madam, we’ve arrived at the postal relay building."
While they were conversing and laughing, Uncle Xiao’s voice was heard from the front of the carriage.
"Understood."
Once the carriage had stopped, Qin Yi and Su Pan’er alighted and followed the crowd inside.
The comical pig, which had been dozing, surprisingly woke up imdiately when Su Pan’er alighted, rolled over and followed in a waddling manner.
Since this was a work-related trip, the group was arranged to go in a secluded compound.
Even though everyone was very tired, they all gathered in the general hall and didn’t return to their rooms.
"Why don’t we send soone to inquire whether Young Master Lui has ever rested here before?"
Qin Yi proposed.
If Lui Muyi ca to Changze, then, barring any accidents, he should have stayed here. Inquiring with the workers at the postal station should reveal the truth.
"That’s a good idea, let’s also ask the postal worker about the full details!"
Everyone nodded in agreent.
"Alright, I’ll order soone to inquire with the postal worker."
Inspector Liu signalled, and then gave the command.
The dispatched man quickly left and returned in no distant ti: "I found out! As soon as I ntioned Young Master Lui, the postal worker knew who he was. I never expected that the Lui family had such influence even in Changze County!"
"What did the postal worker say?"
"He said that since Young Master Lui often stays here for business, and his tips are always generous, he rembers him very clearly."
The man took a breath: "But a Young Master Lui who usually leaves after a few days stayed for many days this ti, as if he was handling so business matter or waiting for soone, and he didn’t finish for a long ti. He eventually rented a house and moved out. As for Young Master Lui being implicated as a murderer afterwards, he heard about it too. However, he once saw Lui Muyi talking to a woman in an alley."
"So does this an Lui Muyi indeed interacted with the deceased?"
"Interactions don’t necessarily an there was an intimate relationship, perhaps Master Lui was discussing other matters with her?" Su Pan’er casually stated.
"Yes, yes, my son is not the kind to entice any woman, this is impossible!"
Cao Yan, who had been quietly listening to the conversation, hurried to deny it upon hearing these words: "If it were soone else, Cao would believe it. But my son, he is not fond of won and even exceptional won can’t get close to him. How could he go to such lengths for a re concubine? It’s impossible!"
No one spoke, they simply nodded in agreent.
The Lui family is very wealthy and has nurous casinos, brothels, and restaurants. There are so many beautiful won there, so he really doesn’t need to go this far.
"This case seems to have many suspicious points!"
Qin Yi analysed passionately: "The autopsy report was clear; the deceased’s body was bloated and black, most of her facial skin was missing and half her face was absent. How did the deceased’s father identify the deceased as his daughter based on a bracelet?"
Once he finished, everyone began nodding in agreent.
"That point you made is indeed a suspicious one."
Inspector Liu expressed his agreent and imdiately followed with a regretful declaration: "Unfortunately, two days after they discovered the body, the plague broke out. All the bodies of the deceased were burnt, leaving no remains. Even if we wanted to investigate to prove anything now, there’s nothing we can do."
