Chapter 1119: Chapter 1119: It’s Time to Make a Move

"What are you talking about?"

Constable Jin, however, was indifferent to Lin Caisang’s words.

"Miss Lin, you are mistaken there. Forensic Doctor Zeng, you know, wasn’t so diligent in the past. Even if there was an overturned stool right by his feet, he wouldn’t bother to set it upright.

It is only because such an incident occurred in Wan County that Forensic Doctor Zeng, despite the risk to his own safety, has been examining the bodies in the mortuary every day. It’s only now that everyone has started to see him in a new light. If it had been in the past..."

But who would have thought that Forensic Doctor Zeng didn’t have an epiphany, but instead...

"Let’s not talk about that. Miss Lin, I’ve heard that on that day, it was Forensic Doctor Zeng himself who took over the matter from that guard. Originally, that guard intended to entrust the task to the guards at the gate.

After all, among the gate guards, there were several who had come over from Jianan City with that guard, and they were all acquainted with each other."

"So you’re saying, he knew about it in advance and was there waiting to take the Eldest Prince’s men into his own hands?" Lin Caisang said.

And the reason that guard had diarrhea for no apparent reason must also be linked to Forensic Doctor Zeng, right?

Otherwise, how could such coincidences occur?

"Constable Jin, go out and inquire further—has Forensic Doctor Zeng ever had a grudge with someone?"

She issued the instruction then stood up from her chair, and together with Constable Jin, they headed for the door.

"Sister-in-law, where are you going?" Sui Ziyou hurried after them.

Once her sister-in-law started investigating a case, she seemed to forget everything else, even leaving her, a living person, out of her mind.

"To find the Eldest Prince," Lin Caisang replied.

Lin Caisang stopped, turned her head, and glanced at Sui Ziyou.

"Ziyou, come here."

She beckoned Sui Ziyou with her hand. Sui Ziyou immediately came closer to listen as she whispered a few words into his ear.

"Alright, I’ll take care of it right away." Sui Ziyou nodded and hurried off.

Constable Jin, do you have any good brothers in the county office?" Lin Caisang asked Constable Jin, who had yet to leave.

"There is, but..."

Constable Jin nodded, but his expression was still somewhat hesitant.

"That Forensic Doctor Zeng always knows how to charm people. Most of the brothers I am close with are also his friends. Miss Lin, if you want them to do something, I think it would be better not to bother.

Aren’t you acquainted with the Eldest Prince? It would be better to ask someone close to him to handle it."

Upon hearing this, Lin Caisang shook her head.

"I’m looking for someone who is close to Forensic Doctor Zeng, preferably someone who can talk to him about anything."

"Miss Lin, what do you mean by that?" Constable Jin blinked, puzzled.

"Now that the suspect has been identified, it’s time to take action against him. Keeping him around, he won’t make another move anytime soon," Lin Caisang explained.

"I see."

Constable Jin suddenly understood.

"Now that you mention it, I do know a person. Miss Lin, do you remember Old Chen, who guards the mortuary? That Old Chen, he always chats with Forensic Doctor Zeng about everything, and he also likes a good drink. Once he’s drunk, he can go on talking with Forensic Doctor Zeng without end."

"Old Chen?"

Lin Caisang recalled for a moment.

That Old Chen looked like a very honest man, one who could easily be bought over, and a drinker at that. Probably a few drinks would be enough to spill all his secrets.

She took out two taels of silver and a wine bottle from her small shoulder bag and handed them to Constable Jin.
