"Ugh~!"

Yang Ruoxi blinked on the side, both concerned and somewhat secretly pleased.

She has already developed immunity to the nauseating corpses, but he remains so delicate!

This is her first step towards turning the tables!

Even though she thought so, she still took out a bottle of mineral water from her bag and handed it to him.

"Rinse your mouth."

Su Yu took it, rinsed his mouth, and breathed in several gulps of fresh air, finally feeling much better, and gratefully looked at Xu Liang, weakly saying:

"Thank you, senior brother."

"I’m still a bit unaccustomed..."

"It’s okay, I understand," Xu Liang comforted.

Yang Ruoxi felt odd, but couldn’t quite pinpoint what it was. She was about to steer the topic back to the case, but caught a glimpse of returning staff out of the corner of her eye.

Xu Liang saw it too.

The person approached, ready to say something, but upon seeing Su Yu’s condition, showed surprise and quickly expressed concern:

"What’s going on here!?"

"Is it serious? Do you need to rinse your mouth? Need medication? Our institution has readily available medicine..."

Xu Liang paused for a moment.

He silently stood and retreated, taking advantage of Su Yu being observed, and hurried back to the mortuary.

"Click!"

"Click!"

He raised the camera he always carried, taking photos of several suspicious spots, and then, without hesitation, stood up and discreetly left.

Exiting the mortuary.

Su Yu had recovered by then, and the staff, seeing no serious reactions, breathed a sigh of relief.

She looked at Xu Liang, saying:

"Here, the autopsy report you requested."

Xu Liang took it and quickly scanned through it.

This autopsy report matched entirely with the one provided by Zhao Hailong, except...

It lacked data on eye sockets and waist!

’This institution indeed has issues...’

Xu Liang calculated internally.

Without lingering further in the forensic institution, he stood and said:

"Thank you for the cooperation, we’ll leave for now. If needed, we’ll contact the institution later."

Upon hearing this, the staff nodded.

She watched them disappear from sight.

After Xu Liang and the others left the institution, the staff glanced back at the parked body, then covered it again with the white sheet.

Then, she closed the mortuary door.

However, just as she was about to leave, in a daze...

"Why did you open the mortuary door?"

A voice suddenly sounded from behind the staff.

She paused, turned back, and responded:

"Manager Si, there was an agent of the deceased’s relatives who wanted to see the body, so..."

Behind her stood a portly middle-aged man.

His figure was chunky, standing around 1.75 meters, approximately 180 pounds.

His facial skin was rough and coarse, not an attractive look.

He was just about to clock out when he spotted the staff as he exited the stairs.

Upon hearing this.

The institution’s manager, Si Wanhao, furrowed his brow.

An agent of the deceased’s relatives?

By regulations, viewing is allowed, but...

"Who is in charge of the corpse?"

Qian Wanhao felt a chill in his heart and hurriedly inquired.

"Bed number 1, transferred by the police on March 3rd, seems to be named..."

The staff explained, recalling briefly, finally saying:

"Qi Yu!"

Qi Yu...

Qi Yu?

Si Wanhao furrowed his brow, his heart suddenly sped up, as if pricked by a needle.

"Why is he looking at the body?"

Si Wanhao asked again, with a faint sense of unease.

The staff found it inexplicable, unsure why he was asking about this casually.

But still answered:

"Seems like he came for the autopsy report."

She honestly replied:

"I remember, the relatives have yet to collect the autopsy report, only someone claiming to be the accused picked up the latest one today."

Upon this, Si Wanhao thought for a moment, then nodded.

"Alright, you go ahead and work."

The staff internally rolled her eyes, quickly left his sight, and clocked out decisively.

Si Wanhao ignored her minor gesture.

Instead, he paced and pondered for a moment, ultimately heading towards the surveillance room.

Shortly after...

Si Wanhao arrived in the surveillance room.

There was no one on duty, and he decisively rewound the mortuary surveillance footage to half an hour ago.

And in that black-and-white footage...

Xu Liang and his companions’ shadows suddenly appeared!

He silently watched.

Upon seeing Xu Liang after examining the face, his eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Then, noticing the other person pressing the bones... his eyebrows knitted into a knot.

Especially when Xu Liang lifted the eye sockets, his pupils contracted slightly.

Immediately, his expression turned extremely grim.

Seeing this scene, Si Wanhao hesitated no longer and decisively took out his phone, dialing a few numbers.

"Beep beep beep~"

Si Wanhao waited impatiently.

Until a ’beep’ signal of the call connecting, in the instant, he immediately spoke:

"Forty minutes ago, a lawyer came to the judicial authority to view Qi Yu’s corpse."

"I need an explanation!"

"What exactly did you guys do!?"

Need an explanation...

But not just an explanation!

The person on the other end of the line was silent for a moment before finally speaking:

"Rest assured, this case isn’t complicated; the institution hasn’t erased too much information!"

This voice...

Remarkably, it’s Zhao Hailong!

Yet Si Wanhao’s face looked somewhat ugly as he continued, "Are you sure?"

The autopsy report for Qi Yu was done by him.

During the report... some methods were used.

But...

He initially thought it was just like usual, taking money and doing the work, but after completing it, until now, the more he thought, the more he felt there was something wrong with this corpse!

"I’m sure!" Zhao Hailong replied sternly.

Si Wanhao pondered for a long time but still couldn’t understand what the case truly involved.

Ultimately, he could only let out a cold snort and anxiously hung up the phone.

And on the other end of the call...

Jiang City.

Center for the Disabled.

"Beep beep beep~"

Zhao Hailong stared at the disconnected call, showing a helpless expression.

"What’s wrong?" Cheng Jia, who was beside him, also put down the phone arranging tasks.

At this point, she looked up confusedly at him.

"Over at Qi Tao’s side, the lawyer went to the institution..."

Zhao Hailong took a deep breath and spoke heavily.

Pausing briefly, he suddenly blurted out:

"I suspect... Si Wanhao might have detected something off about the lawyer’s behavior, hence having doubts about the corpse!"

Si Wanhao had fabricated evidence for them.

Fortunately... the other side wasn’t aware of the essence of the case, merely doing it for payment.

And the deed is done, tied together subsequently; there’s no need to worry whether the other side will slip up.

"It’s happening a bit fast..."

Cheng Jia frowned; she naturally understood the other’s meaning.

Si Wanhao got suspicious due to Xu Liang’s strange behavior.

Then... what action did Xu Liang take!?

And why would he do this to the corpse!?

Trying to find some information on the corpse?

It’s not the job of a lawyer!

"Following his words, I left the autopsy report, intending to mislead using judicial authority, but right now..."

Zhao Hailong spoke gravely:

"He should have doubts about the autopsy report."

Having suspicions about the autopsy report, that’s why he went to see the corpse, leading to actions that raised Si Wanhao’s caution.

He anticipated this, but truly didn’t foresee....

This all happened in just one afternoon!

"It’s a bit quick." Cheng Jia spoke.

Then Zhao Hailong continued:

"How’s it going on your end?"

"More or less, indeed, his law firm expanded the recruits."

Cheng Jia responded, then showed a sneer, chuckling.

"Haha, they’re all newcomers."

"Absolutely inexperienced, completely being led, already falling into the trap."

Cheng Jia suggested, "You can stop by tomorrow, best to select a replacement lawyer for negotiations."

"Already found someone." Zhao Hailong replied.

And the biggest flaw right now is....

"Zhang Yong, how about your side?"

Suddenly, Zhao Hailong turned his head to look at Zhang Yong beside him.

The other person noticed the gaze, instinctively evading, his eyes shifting away uneasily as though avoiding something.

Zhao Hailong frowned.

If the person wasn’t related to the boss in some way... he’d genuinely want to get rid of the guy!

"Zhang Yong, how’s the handling of that batch!?"

Upon hearing, Zhang Yong hastily replied frivolously:

"Already handled!"

Handled...

Better be truly handled!

Upon hearing, Zhao Hailong looked at him with a sinister gaze, ultimately retracting his sight.

"Hmph!"
