Chapter 21: The blunt truth
Mingshen's expression grew ecstatic. "That's an excellent observation! I was waiting for you to make that point, Spicy~"
"Why? Do you know where the inhaler is?"
"Nope. It's missing. That's why it's interesting," his gaze glittered as that of a child's who got a puzzle to solve. "Inhaler would have been the topmost priority item in her handbag to have. That's the first thing she would have reached to take it out. But it's nowhere here."
Jia asked Huojin, "Are all the necessary pictures and evidence taken from the scene?"
Huojin nodded. "Xiyang just confirmed that."
With that clear, she slowly lifted the handbag from the floor and checked the contents of all its pockets inside. But she didn't find any inhaler.
"It isn't inside either," she frowned. "Let's ask Dai Fengge about this."
She looked at Bojing and asked, "What's the estimated time of death?"
Bojing was about to answer when Mingshen cut him off and cheerfully chirped. "Livor mortis is just beginning to set in. It hasn't been much time since she died. Around twenty-five to thirty minutes I say."
"I was asking Bojing."
"I am the lead medical examiner here. I will answer all your questions~"
