Chapter 278 - 175: Blood Splatters on the White Robe_2
Two arrest officers were escorting the lifeless Luo Ling out of the inn, while Xiao Song carefully observed the situation in the courtyard and gestured for the Forensic Doctor to come over and examine the corpse.
Xiao Song, holding an umbrella, meticulously inspected the crime scene. About half a quarter of an hour later, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the old Forensic Doctor engrossed in examining the corpse. His heart skipped a beat, and he couldn’t help but call out in a low voice, "Bai Yi!"
After a moment, County Magistrate Feng trotted over and asked, "Assistant Minister Xiao, is there something you need this official to do?"
Xiao Song frowned and ordered in a deep voice, "Have someone carefully search the courtyard for any clues the murderer might have left behind, ensure the main hall is strictly guarded, and do not allow anything inside to be disturbed."
County Magistrate Feng’s old face stiffened. His old bones had nearly been worn down during this time. Ever since Xiao Song took over the case, he had been kept busy all day and night without a moment’s rest. He originally thought that capturing the murderer would be the end of it, but now they had to look for physical evidence with so many eyes watching!
Although he had many internal comments, County Magistrate Feng dared not provoke the fearsome Xiao Song of Chang’an. He readily agreed and ordered the search to begin.
Xiao Song put on his traditional hat, mounted his horse, and planned to return to the County Government and interrogate the suspects throughout the night.
Clad in purple robes on a black horse, he slashed through the rain curtain like lightning, streaking past the courtyard where Ran Yan was staying and heading straight for the County Government.
