“Yes,” Huo Mian told him the truth, and after so more silence…
Lin Mingyu finally said, “Co over to the municipal bureau, there’s a restaurant called Bashu Sichuan Cuisine here, wait for there.”
“I will,” Huo Mian said. After hanging up, she drove straight to the famous Sichuan restaurant near the municipal bureau.
Lin Mingyu strode in 15 minutes later, wearing a white lab coat; it seed like he hadn’t had the chance to change yet.
He still slled like formaldehyde.
“I’m sorry, things have been really busy, and I didn’t get a chance to change. Do you mind?”
“Not at all.” Huo Mian smiled.
“Oh, I forgot that you’re a doctor too, you must be used to the sll of formaldehyde.”
Huo Mian handed him the nu. “Order whatever you want, it’s on .”
“I’m fine with anything, you can decide,” Lin Mingyu said as he pushed the nu back.
Huo Mian had no choice but to ask, “Do you eat spicy food?”
“Of course.”
“Okay then,” Huo Mian glanced at the nu before calling over the waitress. “Fish in hot chili oil, extra spicy.”
“Okay.” The waitress imdiately noted the order down.
“Clear noodles in chili sauce, blueberry yam, stir-fried broccoli, West Lake-style beef soup…”
“It’s more than enough, Huo Mian, the two of us won’t be able to finish all that,” Lin Mingyu quickly stopped her.
“Okay then, that’s it.” Huo Mian handed the nu to the waitress before pouring Lin Mingyu a glass of warm water.
“Thank you.”
“Dr. Lin, I’m a straightforward person, so I’m not going to suck up or beat around the bush with you… I heard you’re the forensics expert of this case, and I had a lot of questions that I wanted to figure out. After all… I can’t let my husband be frad for murder. I need to help clear his na.”
“You’re saying that your husband wasn’t the murderer?” Unsurprised, Lin Mingyu just asked calmly, and Huo Mian nodded.
“Mhm, soone set him up. My husband’s the president of GK; if he really wanted to kill soone, he would think of a smarter way. He’s not dumb enough to dismber the body and wait to be arrested, don’t you think?”
“You have a point… I thought the sa thing. But in our society, evidence is everything… your husband can’t prove that he’s innocent, so of course he has to bear the cri.”
“Dr. Lin… was there anything suspicious about Song Yishi’s corpse?”
“What do you an?” Lin Mingyu replied with a question.
“Like her ti of death, or… aside from Qin Chu’s scurf on her body, were there any other fingerprints?”
“Dr. Huo, this is top-secret information you’re asking to reveal,” Lin Mingyu said faintly as he looked at Huo Mian, who fell silent and bit her lip.
“It’s not that I don’t want to tell you, but these are things that I really can’t tell you… This case is too important, the mayor and municipal bureau made is really clear that I can’t disclose any information…”
“Then can you tell if anyone did anything to the corpse?” Huo Mian knew Huo Siqian wouldn’t leave behind any evidence that would work against him, but she still wanted to ask.
“No… nothing. During the first trial, you heard what the prosecuting lawyer said, right? The ti and cause of death show that your husband and Song Yishi got into a fight and therefore he left the scurf on her body. That was all true… it’s too big of a case for people to provide false evidence.”
“Then… was the victim raped before she died?” Huo Mian asked.
