Chapter 113: Chapter 113: Could You Please Make an Exception for Me? Chapter 113: Chapter 113: Could You Please Make an Exception for Me? “Constable Wei, take a few men and find a secluded place to burn the body, as well as all the female corpses that were dug up,” Lin Caisang instructed as she walked away.
Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she turned around and looked at Constable Wei seriously.
“Do you have the authority to burn these female corpses?”
“Well… I do have the authority, but we must first find a forensic doctor to confirm their cause of death. Some evidence should not be destroyed,” Constable Wei looked a bit distressed, but gritted his teeth nonetheless.
Since Lin Caisang said the bodies needed to be burnt, there must be a reason. If he can’t even do this, the issue might become even more complicated.
“I will send a message to the county office right away, asking them to send a forensic doctor to examine the bodies.”
“What? An autopsy is required?”
Upon hearing Constable Wei’s words, Old Master Gong, who had been standing close to Constable Wei, cried out in surprise.
He had been relieved when he heard Lin Caisang say the bodies would be burned, but now they are calling for a forensic examination?!
If the autopsy were to be conducted, wouldn’t the news spread, stirring up a huge fuss? How could the Gong family still show their faces? Could they even live a normal life anymore?
“Old Master Gong, do you think this is unacceptable?”
Constable Wei furrowed his brows and looked displeased as he asked.
“No, no,” Old Master Gong quickly shook his head.
At this point, he certainly didn’t have the power to say ‘no.’ He just had to do what the county office said.
If it wasn’t for the strange disease in Hongling Town, considering the crimes his family had committed, he would’ve been jailed long ago. He wouldn’t even have the opportunity to argue.
Constable Wei snorted coldly.
“Constable Wei, I’ll leave the rest to you. I need to study the antidote and figure out how to neutralize this poison,” Lin Caisang glanced at Old Master Gong and said to Constable Wei before she turned and left.
Back in her room, Lin Caisang headed straight for the Jinzhu space and started poring over the jade book without stopping.
Despite her intense focus, she couldn’t find any answers. She was utterly clueless about poison, proclaiming herself as a miracle doctor only for it to turn out as nothing but a joke!
“Brother Jade Mirror, could you give me a hint about what this poison is?”
She looked up at Jade Mirror and asked helplessly.
‘The poison is indeed what you suspect it to be, Master’, a line of text appeared on Jade Mirror.
Lin Caisang paused, raising an eyebrow, How did Jade Mirror know what she was thinking?
What she was thinking was…
From what she heard from Ya Molian about Hongling Town, combined with the suicidal pregnant woman of the Gong family, Third Young Master Gong who died of the strange disease, and Ms.Yu of the Gong family.
She suspected that the power behind Hongling Town wanted to purge the town thoroughly, killing off those outside their circle of influence. So, they came up with this poison.
It was likely that this poison was originally intended for the child in the pregnant woman’s womb. However, the woman unintentionally overheard their scheme, became fearful and committed suicide.
With no other options, they poisoned Third Young Master Gong instead?
And then it turned into the contagious strange disease?
