Shen Ruojing blocked her path. “Don’t be anxious.”

Chu Cichen’s gaze was also heavy as he looked at the lawyer. “Make an innocent defense.”

After he spoke, Shen Ruojing added, “Find a few forensic investigators to check the corpse. I suspect that the person who died originally has a sickness or he has a problem with his body. This was why he died.”

Shen Ruojing then looked at Bai Shanshan. “You should understand Yan Zihao…”

As she spoke halfway, she paused.

Why would Bai Shanshan understand him?

Yan Zihao had always been a hypocrite before her.

Shen Ruojing coughed. “Does he have some hidden ailments?”

Bai Shanshan shook her head. “Nope, his body has always been healthy and he would do a yearly check-up. He just went for a check-up this June, and it hasn’t even been half a year yet.”

The lawyer also continued, “Miss Shen, I also suspected the possibility you mentioned before, but I’ve confirmed it. Yan Zihao’s body really has no problems.”

The lawyer and ordinary people couldn’t tell, but Chu Cimo had actually been very careful when he beat up Yan Zihao. He was also afraid of killing Yan Zihao, hence, he especially found spots that were very painful but wouldn’t cause death when he hit Yan Zihao.

If Yan Zihao’s body had no problems, how could he possibly die?

Shen Ruojing lowered her eyes as a thought suddenly surfaced in her heart. “Has the corpse been dissected?”

“Yes.” The lawyer spoke, “The forensic investigators didn’t discover any problems.”

Shen Ruojing lifted her head and looked at Chu Cichen. “I want to see his corpse.”

“Sure.”

Chu Cichen had no objections to this.

Shen Ruojing was a divine doctor, so she might be able to see some problems from the corpse.

Ding Miao was working in a relevant unit. Although she studied law, she still wasn’t qualified to judge cases. Hence, she was working as an assistant.

After she and Chu Ciyuan left the Chu Manor, she forcibly endured the pain and went to work.

When they were saying goodbye, Chu Ciyuan was still staring at her gloomily. “Are you sure we don’t have to go to the hospital?”

At that time, Ding Miao was badly shocked. She lowered her eyes. “Don’t you trust me?”

“…I naturally do.” After Chu Ciyuan said that, he continued, “However, you have been suffering pain in your abdomen for so long. You should really get a doctor to check things out. Later on, when you are less busy, I’ll bring you to the hospital.”

“Okay.”

Ding Miao felt a little panicky.

Was she really pregnant? A month ago, she indeed had s*xual intercourse with her ex.

Only recently did she and Chu Ciyuan reconcile. And before they reconciled, she always had a boyfriend. At that time, because she was afraid Chu Ciyuan wouldn’t forgive her, she didn’t have a clean break with her ex.

She couldn’t really be pregnant, right?

Wrong…why was she thinking nonsense? Her menses were here, so how could she be pregnant?

When she thought of this, she left Chu Ciyuan and went to her unit to work.

In her unit, she was responsible for doing errands and miscellaneous stuff. All of a sudden, she saw the lawyer of the Chu Family bringing Shen Ruojing here and also applying to check the corpse…

Ding Miao thought of the humiliation she had received in the Chu Family. She then narrowed her eyes and suddenly walked to the morgue.

The person in charge here was named Old Zhang.

Ding Miao walked over and smiled. “Uncle Zhang, I received the leader’s instruction and came here to pass a message to you.”

“What’s the message?” Old Zhang had a casual attitude.

“Recently, someone came from the capital, so when we do things, we have to make sure to follow the book. Do you understand?” Ding Miao pointed to the ceiling. “Otherwise, if we are discovered, there will be a heavy punishment.”

Sea City was a flourishing large city. In this place, you could do anything as long as you had money.

However, special treatment would definitely be given during special times.

Old Zhang understood. “Tell the leader I understand!”

Recently, there was a very popular case. The citizens felt sympathy for the dead victim and thought that Chu Cimo was an affluent second generation, who killed him to vent his anger and wanted to free himself of the crime because he was rich. Hence, this case was tightly scrutinized.

This was why the capital would send someone here to judge the case. It was because they were afraid someone here might be in cahoots with the Chu Family.

Ding Miao smiled at him but didn’t leave. She then hid at a place not far away.

And as expected, Shen Ruojing and the Chu Lawyer came over a short while later. The lawyer then greeted Old Zhang. “Bro Zhang, we want to look at the victim’s corpse.”

After speaking, he took out a box of cigarettes and passed it to Old Zhang.

Old Zhang, who was usually very easy to speak to, actually had a face filled with justice and pushed the box of cigarettes back. He directly said, “Lawyer Li, this can’t be done. You can only see the corpse if you have the correct paperwork.”

“Yes, the paperwork is here.”

As a lawyer, he naturally had the authority to check all sorts of information.

He took out the paperwork he had prepared and passed it over.

Old Zhang did a check. “You can enter.”

After speaking, Old Zhang looked at Shen Ruojing. “Does this little lady have the paperwork necessary?”

Lawyer Li laughed. “…She is my assistant, so I’m bringing her in for a look.”

“You can’t do that.” Old Zhang was very strict. He lowered his voice and continued, “Lawyer Li, recently, things have to be done very stringently, so I can only go by the book. You can enter, but this lady can’t. Unless of course, she has an identity that can allow her to enter.”

The lawyer frowned.

He wasn’t skilled in the medical arts, so even if he saw the corpse, it would be useless.

He had a look of difficulty on his face as he looked at Shen Ruojing.

Shen Ruojing narrowed her eyes.

No identity?

–

Upstairs.

The people from the capital had formed a special operations unit. The captain was someone who didn’t smile.

A subordinate couldn’t help asking, “Captain Cui, why did the upper echelons send us here for a case like this? Isn’t this a case of a rich second-generation killing due to anger? The evidence is already present!”

Captain Cui was someone in his forties that exuded a very mature aura. He had a crew cut and was sitting very straight. After he heard this, he looked at the video and muttered, “Something is wrong.”

“What’s wrong?”

“The person who died wasn’t killed by the suspect,” Captain Cui said. “Although the suspect’s attacks look ruthless, they actually aren’t killing blows. Logically speaking, these blows wouldn’t be able to kill. No wonder the top sent us here to handle this case.”

The subordinate scratched his head. “What do you mean?”

Captain Cui looked at the inflexible guy and explained, “Currently, everyone on the internet is paying attention to this case. If we cannot take out effective evidence and say that the suspect is guilt-free, the trust the public has in us would surely sink. What did the forensic guys say?”

The subordinates answered, “There are no abnormalities. He died due to being beaten up.”

Captain Cui sighed. “This means that even forensic investigators can’t tell that there is something wrong. If that person was here, the problem would definitely be revealed.”

That person…

The subordinate paused for a moment before speaking, “Are you talking about that mysterious expert that could help us with the case as long as she could see the corpse?”

“Hmm.”

After Captain Cui said that, he pulled his phone out. “I’ll contact her and see if she can come over. You should guard the corpse well and not let anyone touch it.”

Just when the subordinate wanted to speak, someone entered. “There’s a person at the morgue wanting to see Yan Zihao’s corpse.”

Captain Cui got his men to pay attention to all characters that had a connection to this case. Now that someone wanted to see the corpse, there would naturally be people reporting this to him.

When Captain Cui heard this, he didn’t make the call. Rather, he stood up. “Let us go have a look as well.”
