Li Cheng did not have the time to tease the old coroner.
He said, "Not only did the expert know that the deceased was drowned, but he could also draw the deceased's portrait."
'Ugh!
It's getting more and more ridiculous! '
The old coroner was even more incredulous.
"Draw a portrait of a dead person before he died? Based on a skull? "
"That's right!"
"My lord, that's impossible! I've been a coroner for decades, but I've never heard of anyone who can look at a portrait from a skull. My lord, have you been deceived by a swindler? " As the saying goes, there's always someone better than you. Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. I've seen it with my own eyes. That person could draw a portrait from a skull and accurately identify the deceased. He even solved a strange case. How could he be a swindler? In my opinion?
Look at you, old man. You can't even find the cause of death, yet you claim to have been a coroner for decades. What a joke. "Li Cheng retorted.
As soon as he said that, the officials and guards present covered their mouths and chuckled.
The old coroner choked. He had some reputation in the coroner's field, but this was the first time someone belittled him in public.
It was too hurtful.
He made up his mind and said, "My lord, if there's really someone who can draw a portrait from a skull, I'll kneel down and kowtow to her three times."
"You said it yourself."
"This lowly one never lies."
"Fine! I'll show you what it means to be an extraordinary person. "
One was the heir of a famous family.
The other was a coroner.
The two of them were at loggerheads!
What a strange story.
After leaving the autopsy room, Li Cheng went home.
He immediately rushed to Li Wenshu's courtyard.
Before he even entered, he shouted at the top of his lungs from afar, "Sister, you have to help me this time!"
There was a pleading tone in his voice.
At this moment, Li Wenshu was reading a book in her room. She looked over and saw Li Cheng rushing in.
He sat down opposite her.
A gust of cold wind blew in.
It was so cold that Li Wenshu couldn't help but tighten her clothes.
"Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Sister, I have something important to tell you."
"What?"
Li Cheng poured a cup of water and drank it. He took a deep breath and said, "Sister, you must not know that the group of people we met in Yiwu are also in Gaoding."
That group?
Li Wenshu's face darkened and she asked, "So, you've already seen them?"
"Yes, I went to see her this morning."
"Didn't I tell you that their identities are unknown and that you shouldn't get in touch with them?"
"Sister, you worry too much."
"No matter what, we have to be careful!" Li Wenshu said solemnly.
Li Cheng lowered his head and said, "I know." Then he opened his eyes and said, "But to be able to meet them in this situation, it means that I'm fated with them!"
Li Wenshu felt helpless. "This is the important matter you wanted to tell me about?" "Aiya, look at me, I almost forgot about the important matter!" Li Cheng slapped his forehead and went straight to the point. "Sister, you must know about the murder at the city gate, right? I happen to be in charge of that, but you know I'm not good at investigating cases. So I went to them early this morning to ask Miss Ji to help me.
But she wouldn't agree no matter what. I planned to visit her three times and go again tomorrow morning, but I was worried that she wouldn't agree. I don't know what to do then. "
Li Wenshu furrowed her brows. "So?"
"Sister, you always have a lot of ideas. Tell me, what should I do for them to agree to help me?"
"How would I know?"
"This is very important to me. If I can't solve this case, how would I have the face to stay in Gaoding in the future? People will definitely laugh at me. "
Li Wenshu said seriously, "You're already so old. You can't rely on others for everything. You have to use your own brain! Moreover, we don't even know the background of those people. What if something happens? "
Li Cheng's face was bitter. "Sister …"
"Say no more. I won't help you." Li Wenshu's attitude was firm.
This method obviously wouldn't work!
Thus, Li Cheng had to think of another strategy. He said seriously, "Sister, it's fine if you don't want to help me, but don't you want justice? The victim was only left with a head. Even the best coroner in Gaoding couldn't identify the victim, let alone solve the case. Even if they investigated for three to five years, they might not be able to find anything. But Miss Ji clearly had the ability to identify the victim and help solve the case. If she helped, the case would be solved quickly, and the people of Gaoding would not be in a state of panic. Moreover, solving a case isn't like committing murder or arson. It's about doing a good deed and seeking justice for the victim. Sister, read
After so many years of reading the books of sages, are we just going to watch this case go unsolved and the murderer continue to get away with it? "
She never knew this guy had such a sharp tongue!
Li Wenshu was stunned.
Every word really pierced her heart.
She was speechless for a moment.
Li Cheng saw that she was wavering, so he struck while the iron was hot. He pulled Li Wenshu's hand and begged, "Sister, I promise I will be careful. I won't cause any trouble for the Li family."
I swear!
Li Wenshu saw that he was so serious and sighed helplessly.
She said, "Just this once!"
Li Cheng's eyes lit up. "Just this once!"
Li Wenshu said, "Actually, there's a good way to get someone to agree to help you."
"What is it?"
"Cater to her interests!"
"Cater to her interests?" Li Cheng pondered, "But I don't know what she likes! How can I cater to her interests? "
"You're so stupid!"
"Huh?"
"I said cater to her interests, not her interests."
"Then what is it?"
Half of Li Cheng's body leaned forward and pressed against the table.
Li Wenshu said, "Those people are not merchants, but they hid their identities and came to Huyi. Why?"
"Why?"
"There are only two reasons. One is to find someone, and the other is to find something!"
Li Cheng paused for a moment and suddenly came to a realization. "Sister, I understand."
He was very excited.
Li Wenshu shook her head slightly and picked up the book to continue reading.
"Hurry up and leave if you understand. Don't disturb me while I'm reading."
"Yes, yes, yes. Sister, read carefully. I'm leaving." Li Cheng jumped and quickly disappeared from the courtyard.
After he left.
Li Wenshu put down the book again.
Her heart sank.
She suddenly thought of Bai Yin.
The man who had the same eyes as Du Mubai.
She thought that she would never see him again after saying goodbye in Yiwu.
Who knew that God loved to play tricks on people.
The more she thought about it, the more she could not read anymore.
She got up and walked to the window, pushing it open.
