Thinking about this hypothesis, she kept asking questions.

"At the last moment, you even talked about taking the police department to court..."

"He wasn't afraid. Logically, the other party should have said something, unless he was just following orders!"

Yang Ruoxi, who knew the other person's temperament well, understood that Xu Liang wasn't joking.

He really would dare to sue the police department!

If withholding the body was Zhao Qian's personal action, once the police department is taken to court...the City Department would certainly hold Zhao Qian accountable!

At the very least, he'd get a severe scolding and be ordered to return the body.

But Zhao Qian remained unmoved, which was very abnormal.

Unless...

"It was an order from the City Department, and he was just acting as usual. Even if it goes to court, it has nothing to do with Zhao Qian personally."

Xu Liang calmed down, quickly understanding the cause and effect in his mind.

He couldn't help but turn back to glance at the large City Police Department behind him.

This answer was outrageous.

But right now, this outrageous answer was the most fitting for the current situation...

"The City Department ordered not to return the body!?"

Su Yu covered her mouth, shocked at what she heard.

"Why?"

"Not to mention returning the body, they won't even let us see it. What are they hiding!?"

From this point of view.

The City Department is currently suspected of two issues.

First, Sun Jin didn't die by accident; it was man-made, but the person involved might hold a high status.

Thus, the family used some connections, and the City Department used a bit of authority's indulgence.

In other words, they were personally covering up!

This isn't impossible.

But for now, the probability seems small. At least the person who brought the child to the hospital saw Sun Jin's inexplicable death firsthand, with no outside interference.

Then there's the second point.

Second.

The body holds...a secret!

An unknown secret!

The City Department, even if it's against the rules, wants to suppress this matter, even infringing on Sun Zhongmin's personal rights!

So, don't even talk about returning the body.

Xu Liang's mere application to take a look would be immediately rejected!

"So what should we do?"

Yang Ruoxi grew worried.

"It's useless to find the police now, it's a bit difficult to file a case..." Su Yu also spoke up.

To file a case in court, there needs to be evidence.

The only current evidence can only allow Xu Liang to sue the police for unreasonable delay in returning the body under Sun Zhongmin's name.

This is troublesome. With the back and forth, half a year could pass...

By then, it will be too late, and nothing hot will be left!

Not to mention Xu Liang's goal is to uncover the truth about the body's death!

"To find out the truth, we need the body for a forensic examination, then we can find the clues to file a case."

"But if the police won't release the body, and to get it, we can only sue the police, and even then, it would cost at least half a year in a meaningless effort..."

Yang Ruoxi frowned, rubbing her forehead. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

It feels like going in circles, this is completely a dead end!

The police attitude is very firm.

Charging in recklessly, the three of them will only end up getting hurt like eggs hitting a rock.

Sun Jin's death seems to involve a massive secret.

The entire City Department is on edge because of it!

No one wants the secret to get out...

If Zhao Qian is really backed into a corner, he might temporarily detain Xu Liang...

That would be a big problem!

The three contemplated for a long time.

Finally, Xu Liang's eyes steeled, and he furrowed his brow, making a decision.

"The most important thing right now..."

"Is to see the body first!!!"

No matter what, they must see the body first, to confirm how Sun Jin died and what was buried within him!

"But doesn't this just bring us back to the same point?"

Su Yu sighed, mumbling under her breath.

"Senior, with the police's attitude, they won't let us see the body..."

"No, we can see it."

A gleam flashed in Xu Liang's eyes.

He turned back, looking at the Sunzhou Police City Department in front of him, and began to speak slowly:

"The building of the Sunzhou Police City Department is not large, relatively smaller compared to Hanhai City."

"When we were leaving earlier, I observed slightly and inquired a bit. I found out that the Sunzhou City Police Department..."

"Doesn't have a forensic laboratory!"

No forensic laboratory.

What does this mean?

The two women were slightly taken aback, and the next second, Xu Liang spoke up:

"It means the forensic examination of the body didn't happen at the City Department!"

Firstly, a forensic examination must have already been completed.

Zhao Qian's words were purely to deny the reason for not returning the body, and because of the examination, they realized the secret on the deceased.

Since the examination is completed and the police department doesn't have a forensic lab...

"Guess where the body might be kept?" Xu Liang suddenly asked.

Under normal circumstances.

The police only keep bodies in two places.

The mortuary or the police department.

Excluding the police department, it means currently, Sun Jin's body is being kept by the police in...

"The mortuary?" Su Yu was taken aback.

If the body is in the mortuary.....

Su Yu's eyes lit up, "Should we apply to the funeral parlor?"

Xu Liang shook his head.

"We can't apply."

"For such a body, if we apply, the other side will definitely inquire with the police."

"At that time, Zhao Qian will definitely find out!"

Although they've already angered Zhao Qian.

But the other side likely has no intention to trouble us, the City Police Department probably won't take note of three small lawyers, won't pay too much attention.

But if we apply to the funeral parlor and they notice us...

Not only won't we see the body.

Even whatever we do later, we'll be watched closely!

So...

"Illegal investigation!"

Xu Liang's eyes narrowed.

In an instant.

Yang Ruoxi and Su Yu were instantly stunned, then their faces showed astonishment.

Il... Illegal investigation!?

Meaning, without applying, without approval, without an investigation warrant...

To climb over the wall to investigate at the funeral parlor!?

"Senior brother, this, this, this..."

Su Yu stammered, unable to speak a complete sentence for a long moment.

"That's illegal, isn't it!"

Xu Liang ignored this statement.

Given the current situation, he must see the body as soon as possible, reporting to the police is only the last resort!

"First, investigate which funeral parlor the police usually cooperate with, then..."

He glanced at the time, his eyes focused.

"Ten o'clock tonight..."

"Confirm the cause of death!!!"

With these words.

Xu Liang said no more, and turned to the car, ready to find a computer to investigate.

Su Yu was somewhat shocked, it was the first time she had seen this kind of evidence retrieval.

Yang Ruoxi was much better, after all...

She was used to it.

...

...

Meanwhile.

In Sunzhou City Police Department.

"Tap, tap, tap..."

Zhao Qian's footsteps echoed in the corridor.

His face extremely unpleasant, now even with a pale blue tint.

At this moment, he was walking out of the office, towards a single office on the fourth floor.

Before long.

Zhao Qian's steps halted at a door.

He raised his hand.

"Knock, knock, knock~"

The sound of knocking on the door echoed.

A voice came from inside.

"Come in."

Zhao Qian pressed down on the handle, the door in front of him opened with a 'pop'.

Looking inside the office, at the police officer sitting in front of the desk, Zhao Qian respectfully spoke:

"Director Ma."

Director Ma Hui heard the words, closed the pen in his hand, and looked up at him.

He was the Director of Sunzhou City Police Department!

Also Zhao Qian's direct superior!!!

"What's the matter?"

Ma Hui rubbed his eyebrows, his tired face looked at him.

"Director, the Sun Jin case..."

Zhao Qian hesitated for a moment, then told him what had just happened.

"Sun Zhongmin hired a lawyer, and the lawyer is very adamant, now pressuring the City Police Department to release people, even saying if they couldn't see the body, they'd take the police department to court....."

Upon hearing this.

Ma Hui's brow furrowed even deeper.

"Lawyer..."

He murmured, never thinking in his life that a lawyer would dare to sue the police.

But ultimately, he waved irritably.

"Let him sue if he wants!"

As he spoke, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.

"Suppress it, whatever he wants to do, suppress it for me!"

"This is the order from the city!!!"

Sun Jin's death was of great importance.

The city was currently in chaos, he couldn't change his mind because of a lawyer.

Upon hearing this.

Zhao Qian nodded, and immediately walked out, closing the door behind him.

Director Ma was left alone in the office.

Ma Hui irritably rubbed his eyebrows.

After a long time.

He suddenly took out his phone and dialed a number.

"Beep, beep, beep~"

At the moment the number was connected.

Ma Hui's anger was uncontrollable, and without a greeting, he furiously shouted:

"Luo Jun, what the hell have you done!?"
