Chapter 184: Torturing Zhao Lingling (1)
Xuandu City Police Substation morgue. Due to Xiong Tian’s special identity and his suspicious death, after obtaining permission from the Canglang Sect’s higher-ups, the police brought Xiong Tian’s body back to the station for an autopsy by the forensic pathologist.
At this moment, the body An Yiqing saw had already been examined by the forensic pathologist.
"Xiao Qing, this is Xiong Tian’s body," Tang Zhishan said, dismissing the subordinate who had shown him the way before turning to An Yiqing. "In Xuandu City, Xiong Tian was quite an influential figure. Though he had a volatile temper and was fond of women, he had developed Canglang Sect to its current status, not just any average person. I didn’t expect he would die so inexplicably." With a sigh reflecting his emotion, Tang Zhishan couldn’t help feeling a bit sentimental over Xiong Tian’s death.
As An Yiqing looked at Xiong Tian’s lifeless face under the white cloth, she couldn’t help but agree with Tang Zhishan’s words. No matter how powerful or influential a person was, what did it amount to after death but a handful of yellow soil?
"Tutu," Gu Yelin approached from behind and gently took hold of the girl’s hand. He didn’t like the way An Yiqing seemed to see through the superficialities of life; it made him feel uneasy.
An Yiqing turned her head, revealing a bright smile, and said sweetly, "Ah Lin, I’m just reflecting a bit. I can’t bear to leave you, to leave everyone."
Having calmed this possessive man, An Yiqing stepped forward and began to examine Xiong Tian’s body.
Since the forensic pathologist had already performed an autopsy, she had a basic understanding of the situation. Xiong Tian, male, 41 years old, died at his home around one in the morning. The cause of death was suffocation. It was conjectured that there was no second person present at the time of Xiong Tian’s death; the doors and windows were all locked from the inside, which meant Xiong Tian had died alone in a locked room.
Having reached this point in her deductions, the case began to reveal its numerous flaws.
