Chapter 92: Chapter 92: Isn’t That a Bit Too Much?
From Old Master Gong’s words, it was not difficult to discern that he was hiding sothing. He just talked about how his son contracted the disease out of the blue, without any prior symptoms.
As for what his son did before he got sick and whom he had contact with, he all claid ignorance and dismissed as unknown.
“All I know is just that,” responded Old Master Gong.
“Oh, is it?”
Lin Caisang let out a cold laugh.
“Since Old Master Gong doesn’t know, I presu there must be soone in the Gong Family who does? Constable Wei, would you kindly take so n to the Gong household and bring the young master’s mother and her trusted family servants here. I would like to question them one by one.”
“What?!”
At her words, Old Master Gong was startled. His face involuntarily turned pale.
“Miss Liu, don’t you think you are crossing the line?”
“Old Master Gong, do you truly believe I am overstepping?” Lin Caisang intensified her tone, counter questioning him.
“Every sickness has a cause. This is the key to any healer’s ability to treat patients. If we don’t know the cause, how do we treat it? Perhaps, Old Master Gong can enlighten , hmm?”
“This…”
Old Master Gong, blocked by her words, turned red in the face and it took a good while for him to recover.
“But my son is already deceased. So pursuing this now seems a bit…”
“Old Master Gong, pardon my frankness; I am being rciful by not suggesting that Constable Wei exhu your son’s body for examination,” Lin Caisang stated, not mincing her words.
“You-”
“Rember, the threat to the lives of the people of Hongling Town is caused by your son. Of course, your ‘contribution’ to this situation is significant as well.”
She didn’t give Old Master Gong a chance to argue, and continued.
At this point, Old Master Gong went silent. He was right. All this was caused by the Gong family. If they were truly to reason this out, the Gong family would only deserve rebuke and bla.
“Miss Liu, shall I order soone to bring Young Master Gong’s… ”
Listening to her words, Constable Wei imdiately thought of Young Master Gong’s remains.
Perhaps this is a good suggestion; exhuming Young Master Gong’s body might help identify the cause of the disease.
“Constable Wei…” Old Master Gong was utterly shocked when he heard Constable Wei’s words.
They really intended to disturb his son’s grave? That was their ancestral graveyard. If they dug it up, their family would be dood. This was absolutely unacceptable.
However, he also knew that if Lin Caisang was determined to proceed, Constable Wei would oblige without hesitation.
In Constable Wei’s eyes, the Gong family held no significance.
“What is it, Old Master Gong? I’d advise you to be kind,” Constable Wei glared harshly at Old Master Gong, and scoffed.
Old Master Gong had been speaking so much without getting to the point, clearly deliberately avoiding the scandalous matter. Constable Wei was becoming impatient and who knew what action he might take next.
“Miss Liu, if you need…”
“No need.”
Lin Caisang shook her head.
Disturbing a grave would only be a last resort, and she had not yet reached that point.
“Constable Wei, could you gather all those from the Gong family. I want to question each one. I refuse to believe that soone would contract such a strange disease for no reason.”
It’s said to be a poison and a disease; it’s a disease but also a poison. Even she was baffled upon seeing it.
