NOVPUB67: Chapter 43 Concealing the truth_3
67 -43 Concealing the truth_3
Yu Bohao suspected that Ran Yan had previously worked as a forensic doctor and had extensive experience, but this did not seem to make sense, as the young girl before him was clearly only fifteen or sixteen years old, and moreover, she was the legitimate daughter of the Ran family…
While he was pondering, Liu Pinrang hurriedly entered, and upon seeing Ran Yan, his old face broke into a smile, “Miss Seventeen!
Come with me.”
Liu Pinrang also skipped the pleasantries and hurried into a room.
Yu Bohao also invited Ran Yan to follow; he was curious—could Inspector Liu’s summoning of such a young lady really pay off?
Surely she wouldn’t become weak-kneed at the sight of a corpse!
Although his face showed no sign, he held a skeptical attitude internally.
As Ran Yan entered the room, she felt a gust of cold air hit her.
Upon close inspection, she saw many ice basins placed in the corners of the room, and in the center, there was a wooden board covered with a plain cloth, obviously hiding a body underneath.
She estimated that the body was about eight feet long and robust.
Ran Yan suddenly recalled the corpse she examined at midnight last time—Judge Yang.
Inspector Liu seemed to be very concerned about the cause of Judge Yang’s death, as if the death of the County Chief’s son, the death of a maid in a noble family, and a Noble Lady becoming a suspect were all less significant than the death of Judge Yang.
“Everything has been prepared for you,” said Inspector Liu as he personally picked up a small wooden box from the corner, opened it, and took out a pair of gloves, a mask, soap pod, Atractylodes, and various knives, “These are the items I previously saw in your box, specially made to order.
Come, help this old man examine this body.”
Ran Yan’s eyebrows twitched.
“An autopsy?”
“Yes,” Liu Pinrang pushed the gloves into Ran Yan’s hands.
His smile slightly lessened, saying, “Are you satisfied with me repaying your favor?
Your marriage arrangement with Qin Silang will soon be sorted…”
Liu Pinrang’s implication was clear: Helping him would not be a loss!
It would have been better not to mention that, but once brought up, Ran Yan’s face darkened.
She swiftly donned the gloves and mask and said evenly, “Thank you, Inspector Liu, but you’ve overpaid this favor.
Consider this autopsy a gift, as I seek nothing more.”
Ran Yan really didn’t dare let Liu Pinrang reciprocate with anything else, as it could provoke more trouble than she could handle.
But she couldn’t refuse to help either; if the old man held a grudge, that would be even worse!
So, she simply went ahead with the examination without another word.
Liu Pinrang coughed twice, feeling he had gained a little advantage, so he did not mind Ran Yan’s attitude.
In truth, if he did not need to mislead others, he would not have gone through such trouble to create this diversion; he could have directly asked Feng Sanxun to perform the autopsy, knowing both Ran Yan’s capabilities and her low-profile status.

Big hugs!
Also, when checking the comments, I found many friends mentioning that my updates have become less frequent.
I update over 3000+ words daily, sometimes nearly 4000, while many authors not yet on a shelf usually update two to three thousand words daily with occasional additional chapters.
I’ve just been spreading the additional updates across each chapter.
Compared to some authors who update 10,000 words daily, my updates are indeed less frequent, and indeed, because of just finishing a previous book, I’ve been a bit lazy.
In December, this book will switch to two updates daily, at least 4000+, usually over 5000+.
I keep all your tips, votes, long comments, and messages in mind and will strive to explode with even more exciting plots for everyone who likes Full Tang.
