Chapter 1116: Chapter 1116: No Exceptions

Sui Ziyou put forward his own idea.

"To kill, you need courage as well. It’s not like they can label those two as poisoners just because someone says so, right?"

"They have already confessed," Lin Caisang said indifferently.

"What’s the use of a confession?" Sui Ziyou’s eyes widened.

"With those tortures in the prison, how many people can endure? People like that can confess to anything when frightened, regardless of whether they have poisoned anyone or not. As long as they can avoid suffering, that’s all that matters."

Truth be told, how many could withstand torture?

"Is that so?"

Hearing this, Lin Caisang’s red lips curved slightly, and she finally stood up from the stone bench.

"Sister-in-law, where are you going? Are you going to investigate the poisoners?"

Lin Caisang looked up at the sky and then squinted at Sui Ziyou.

"The weather is quite nice today. There’s nothing to do inside the yamen, so why not take a stroll on the street? Now that everyone believes the poisoners have been caught, the shops have all opened."

"Ah?"

Sui Ziyou opened his mouth wide, looking incredulously at Lin Caisang.

Go shopping?!

Even if those two were indeed the poisoners, it wasn’t the time for them to go shopping, considering so many people were waiting for an antidote, and sister-in-law had not yet developed one.

...

The cold wind whistled as they were led by a constable from the yamen, and Lin Caisang and Sui Ziyou arrived at a residence.

"Brother Jin, is this the home of one of the poisoners?" Lin Caisang asked Constable Jin.

"Yes, Miss Lin."

Constable Jin nodded, opening the gate to facilitate Lin Caisang’s entry.

When they left the yamen, he was merely assigned by the head official to guide Lin Caisang so she could shop on the street.

Who could have thought that as soon as they left the yamen and crossed a single street, Lin Caisang changed her expression and directly ordered him to bring them to the homes of the two accused poisoners.

"Miss Lin, the people brought by the Eldest Prince have already searched here and found nothing," he reminded her.

Could it be that Lin Caisang thought there was something missed? It shouldn’t be. Those were people from the Eldest Prince’s retinue. How could there be anything overlooked in searching an ordinary residence?

Lin Caisang merely glanced at him, then let White Fox out to wander around the house.

"Constable Jin, I have some questions I don’t understand, could you perhaps help me clear them?" She approached Constable Jin and asked.

"Miss Lin, you flatter me. Whatever I know, I will tell with no reservation," Constable Jin immediately replied.

This young lady was respected even by the Eldest Prince. He still had that much sense. Why would he offend Lin Caisang?

"This is the situation."

Lin Caisang pursed her lips, and then began to speak.

"Generally, when a body is brought into the yamen’s mortuary, it is examined by a forensic doctor. Why is it an exception in Wan County?"

She asked.

"There is no exception?"

Constable Jin blinked, finding Lin Caisang’s question quite strange.

"Then why, with so many bodies brought into the yamen before, has the forensic doctor not appeared to conduct examinations?" Lin Caisang pressed.

"Miss Lin, you are mistaken,"

Upon hearing her words, Constable Jin hurriedly shook his head.

"At the beginning, there were only a few people, even just one person poisoned each day, so Forensic Doctor Zeng could still manage. But later on, as the number of poisoned people increased,
