Chapter 112: Chapter 112: Didn’t Encounter a Corpse, Did You? Chapter 112: Chapter 112: Didn’t Encounter a Corpse, Did You? “Shrimp…”
Ya Molian paused slightly, a smile still playing on the corner of his mouth, and he reached out to pat her head.
“Eat something first, then go take a nap.”
Lin Caisang agreed obediently.
But how could she possibly nap? The sky was already turning white and there were so many things she had to do. Even if she wanted to sleep, she was likely to be woken up by the townspeople.
“Maybe I won’t sleep then, I wonder how Ms. Yu is doing.”
She pondered, then said.
Thinking about Ms. Yu made her uneasy. It turned out that she was a he!
“Go take a nap, there are others to take care of Ms. Yu,” Ya Molian insisted.
In the end, Lin Caisang was compelled to go sleep. To her surprise, she, who had never stayed up late before, fell into such a deep sleep upon hitting the pillow that when she woke up again not only had Ms. Yu confessed everything, but even the body of Third Young Master Gong had been discovered.
Upon hearing the news, she rushed to the rundown yard of the Gong Family, where all the corpses had been temporarily housed.
“How was this body discovered?”
Looking at the badly decomposed body that stunk so terribly it could make an entire roomful of people faint, she asked those present.
“Miss Liu, your older brother is truly extraordinary. We have no idea how he managed to find and bring back this body,” said the constables, looking at Ya Molian, who had by then moved to stand beside Lin Caisang, with pure admiration.
Upon hearing this, Lin Caisang looked up in surprise at Ya Molian.
“You found this? You didn’t touch the body, did you?” She scanned him from head to toe and asked anxiously.
The corpse of Gong Xiting might very well be the source of the epidemic in Hongling Town. If he’d come into contact with it, he might contract the disease.
“Are you feeling unwell?”
“I didn’t touch it, don’t worry,” Ya Molian reassured her.
Lin Caisang let out a soft sigh of relief, patting her chest.
“I can’t be of much help with the rest of this, I’m feeling worn out after staying awake all night. Take care of the rest, Constable Wei and the others can fill you in,” Saying so, Ya Molian glanced at Constable Wei and the others, then turned around and left.
Watching Ya Molian walk away, Lin Caisang was stupefied, unsure of what just happened.
“Brother…” Are your words for real?
For a man who spends his whole day hunting in the forest and gathering cubilose, capable of staying awake for several nights on end, just one sleepless night shouldn’t tire you out. Are you joking?
But her Brother Molian had indeed left, so suddenly that she was caught off guard.
“So, Constable Wei, how was the body brought back?” She turned her head, looked at Constable Wei and asked.
“I also don’t know. Just as dawn broke this morning, your brother had already brought back the body on a flatbed wagon,” Constable Wei explained.
“I initially thought that the thing should be immediately burnt. After all, it’s a curse. But he said we should wait until you’ve examined it before deciding what to do next. So, we’ve been waiting for you.”
“Give me a moment, I’ll be done soon.”
Upon hearing his words, Lin Caisang instantly focused, dismissed everyone, and began examining the corpse, collecting the bodily fluids into a medicinal powder.
Soon, she arrived at a conclusion that satisfied her and walked out of the dilapidated house.
“Miss Liu, what’s the result? Is this the culprit of our troubles?” Constable Wei asked as soon as he saw her emerge.
