Chapter 1122: Chapter 1122: Not Killing is Not Enough to Quell the Public’s Wrath!
“What did you say?”
He looked up in astonishnt, gazing at his own royal guard.
“Just now, Miss Ziyou, who was with Miss Lin, ca to inquire about sothing from you? About Forensic Doctor Zeng’s affairs?” he asked.
“Yes, Your Highness.”
The guard responded, his face full of confusion.
“I also found it strange, why would Miss Ziyou ask about Forensic Doctor Zeng without reason, and she even asked… she even asked…”
“What did she ask?”
The Eldest Prince demanded, watching the guard’s embarrassed expression, growing even more anxious.
Lin Caisang wouldn’t investigate soone’s whereabouts for no reason, unless she suspected sothing.
“When we were bringing those people back, I had a bout of diarrhea, and Miss Ziyou was asking about whether I saw Forensic Doctor Zeng during that ti.
It’s strange to say, but when you sent
on that errand that day, I did indeed run into Forensic Doctor Zeng, and not just once but twice, both tis right outside the governntal office. What a coincidence.”
Upon hearing this, the Eldest Prince took a deep breath, nearly bursting into a curse.
He thought to himself: In this world, how could there be such coincidences? Clearly, soone was deliberately waiting outside the governntal office for him.
“Wait, did you just say it was Miss Ziyou of Miss Lin’s retinue who ca asking?” Suddenly, as if sothing occurred to him, he looked up and asked the guard, who was still bewildered, not knowing what had transpired.
“Yes, Your Highness.” The guard responded again.
“Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and send soone to protect Miss Lin!” The Eldest Prince, with his brows furrowed, glared at the guard.
“Ah?”
The guard’s mouth fell open, temporarily unable to comprehend the prince’s words.
If Sui Ziyou was inquiring, why should they protect Miss Lin, and what does this have to do with Forensic Doctor Zeng?
Could it be, Miss Lin suspected that the two poisoners they had captured were decoys, and the real culprit who killed so many people in Wan County was actually Forensic Doctor Zeng?
This… surely not?
“Yes, Your Highness, I will send soone to protect Miss Lin right away.”
Even though he felt it was improbable, the guard still complied.
Watching his guard hurry off, the Eldest Prince was filled with doubts as well.
He had always thought that catching those people so easily was too convenient, saving them the trouble of extra effort.
So, were those two rely scapegoats intentionally thrown out by Forensic Doctor Zeng? Was he himself the devil who killed without blinking in Wan County, poisoning and killing so many people?
If that was the case, then this individual was truly terrifying and deserved death to appease public anger!
…
In the makeshift pharmacy, Lin Caisang was categorizing the herbs she had purchased, while Sui Ziyou stood by her side, helping her.
“Sister-in-law, now that we know who the poisoner is, why aren’t we taking action? What are you waiting for?” Sui Ziyou inquired.
She didn’t understand why, with so much evidence gathered to convict Forensic Doctor Zeng, Lin Caisang still hadn’t taken action and continued to sort through these herbs.
“Wait.”
Lin Caisang uttered just one word.
Holding a herb up to her nose, she sniffed it and then placed it back, wrapping up the bundle of herbs before setting it aside.
“Wait for what?”
Sui Ziyou asked aloud.
“Sister-in-law, you aren’t waiting for that person to fall into the trap on his own, are you?” she asked.
“Why, is that not acceptable?” Lin Caisang countered her question.
