Xiao Heyuan blushed, looking extremely embarrassed. However, he still lay there, acting like a dead pig unafraid of boiling water.
Compared to doing hard labor, lying down was definitely more comfortable!
Xue Zhan gritted his teeth and glared at Xiao Heyuan. Then he took out his folding fan and asked, "Your Highness, what brings you here?"
A man who values women over friends! He was in such a sorry state, yet this guy refused to give him a hand. It wasn't like he was asking for much help!
Mo Liandi walked leisurely to a side and sat down. He ignored the glaring looks full of gritted - teeth anger. "I'm just taking a casual look."
Liu Rumei's eyes fell on the pile of case files on Xue Zhan's lap. "What are these?"
Xue Zhan sighed, his eyes full of helplessness. "Just some trivial matters. It's okay."
But it was precisely these trivial matters that were the most headache - inducing! They almost gave him a splitting headache. If Mo Liandi wasn't here, maybe he could ask Liu Rumei for help...
The Yun brothers immediately saw what was on Xue Zhan's mind. Their eyes were filled with contempt.
Liu Rumei had known Xue Zhan for quite a while. How could she not know his plan now?
"Have there been any tough cases recently?"
Hearing this, Xiao Heyuan finally said a word. "Miss Liu comes at just the right time. A female corpse of unknown identity was brought here yesterday!"
After saying that, he actually got up from the stretcher by himself and leisurely led Liu Rumei to the morgue.
Seeing Xiao Heyuan move so nimbly without any sign of serious injury, a glint of light flashed in Xue Zhan's eyes.
Yun Li shook his head like an old man. "Uncle Xiao is probably in trouble."
Sure enough, Lord Xue was one step ahead!
Yun Xi also nodded. He looked at Mo Liandi sitting there leisurely thoughtfully and said with a bitter face, "Liu Liu is really enthusiastic about corpses!"
Mo Liandi nodded secretly in his heart. After all, she had never shown such interest in him! For a moment, he felt extremely aggrieved.
In the morgue.
The previous corpses had all been disposed of. Now, there was only a cold female corpse lying there quietly. Her face was blue - black, indicating that she had been dead for quite some time.
Xiao Heyuan walked up to the corpse and said with a smile, "I haven't checked it yet. This was found by a commoner outside the city in the river. We don't know the woman's identity, so it was sent here. Lord Xue has already sent people to investigate, but there's no clue for now."
Liu Rumei nodded and prepared to conduct an autopsy with Xiao Heyuan.
"The time of death should be three days ago," Liu Rumei said calmly, looking at the female corpse.
Xiao Heyuan wasn't willing to lag behind. "There are no traces on the body, and there are no signs of poison in the body."
After spending a long time with Liu Rumei, their teamwork had become more and more proficient, and their autopsy skills had also improved a lot.
"There's a sign of a broken small bone in the right hand. It should be caused by a beating," Liu Rumei frowned slightly.
There were no signs of injury on the female corpse, but the broken bone was a fact. "It might be an old injury. The skin injury has healed, but the internal injury hasn't fully recovered."
Xiao Heyuan nodded. His eyes then fell on the female corpse's hand. "This person has calluses on her hands. She should have done hard labor for a long time."
The female corpse was wearing simple clothes. She should be an ordinary commoner. But why did she end up in the river?
"This person didn't struggle at all. She should have committed suicide," Liu Rumei said.
Liu Rumei also nodded secretly. The only wound on the female corpse was the broken small bone, but that injury should have been there for a long time. Judging from the fracture marks, it should have been caused by a heavy object without proper treatment.
Yun Li stood aside, watching with great interest.
Yun Xi was sitting leisurely in the main hall with Mo Liandi and Xue Zhan. Looking at his old - fashioned appearance, Xue Zhan always felt that he looked familiar.
At this time, Yun Xi took out a folding fan from his bosom. Xue Zhan's face twitched instantly. This little rascal!
"Aren't you going to follow your sister?"
Yun Xi waved his folding fan and said leisurely, "Liu Liu has my brother with her."
He wasn't interested in those things. Liu Liu never forced them, so he was quite at ease.
Xue Zhan curled his lips and said to Mo Liandi, "Aren't you going to do something about him?"
Mo Liandi took a sip of tea and said indifferently, "You'd better take care of yourself first."
Mo Yun was probably going to fly into a rage in the next few days. He hoped this guy wouldn't be the innocent victim.
Seeing this, Xue Zhan curled his lips. "What are you going to do with that guy?"
Chu Huaigang had already been taken away by A Nan, but as long as that guy wasn't eliminated, he was always an eyesore. Moreover, he would always cause them some small troubles. Although these troubles were not too big and could be solved, they were still disgusting.
Moreover, this time, he was targeting Miss Liu. If Mo Liandi could tolerate it, he wouldn't be himself.
Hearing this, Yun Xi also perked up. There was a bit of anger in his eyes, but he didn't say a word. He just pricked up his ears to listen to what Mo Liandi had to say.
Mo Liandi rarely played a trick. "You'll know soon."
He wouldn't let that guy off easily.
Seeing Mo Liandi like this, Xue Zhan's eyes were full of contempt. "Fine, do as you like."
It seemed that Mo Yun was going to be furious again this time.
"How's Aunt Qiao recently?"
"She's doing great." It would be even better if Xue Changsheng didn't keep causing trouble.
However, should he give Xue Changsheng a warning? Mo Liandi was no good person. If he didn't come to his senses, the Sima family...
...
In the magnificent and resplendent palace filled with a majestic aura, Mo Yun sat on the high throne. He looked at the person below coldly, his voice full of ice. "Say it again!"
The person said respectfully, "I've already found out about the underground training ground. It definitely belongs to the Lian family, and behind the Lian family is... Her Majesty the Queen!"
This was no less than a shock. That gentle woman actually had such schemes.
Mo Yun's face was full of malevolence, and his heart was filled with surging anger. How dare they! They built an underground training ground right under his nose. What on earth did the Qi family want to do? Did they want to start a rebellion?
Thinking of this, he immediately flung his sleeve and got up, heading towards the Fengyi Palace.
At that time, Mo Litian was in the Fengyi Palace, trying to find out about Lian Yi's whereabouts.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he mentioned it, Queen Qi's face changed drastically. "Where did you hear that?"
Who told him?
Mo Litian pursed his lips and lowered his eyes. "I just happened to hear someone mention it. I heard that this person used to be by Your Majesty's side?"
