After all, what the other party wants to do...

"...is truly unspeakable!"

...

...

Grave digging requires skill.

If you don't dig right, the villagers might just kill you!

That's why Xu Liang decided to dig at night, under the cover of darkness!

But...

Not all graves are to be dug.

"Buzz!"

The car drove along the country road.

Two bright beams of light cut through the eerie silence of the night.

The roar of the engine gradually approached Huangyan Village.

Soon, the car stopped in front of a self-built house used for funerals.

"Bang!"

The two quickly got out of the car.

Xu Liang looked up at Sun Zhongmin's house.

The last time he came was in the afternoon, there were quite a few people, many villagers came to pay respects.

But now...

Though the light bulb was still on, there wasn't a single person in sight.

Only the funeral wreaths and the lingering smell in the air remained.

"Tap tap..."

Xu Liang led the way inside.

In the mourning hall, Sun Jin's coffin was still in the main hall, with three or four people sleeping on the floor beside it.

Sun Zhongmin leaned against the coffin, dozing off, unclear if he was asleep.

Xu Liang approached and tapped him on the shoulder.

"Thump thump!"

Sun Zhongmin was startled awake, his bloodshot eyes widened.

When he saw it was Xu Liang, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he paused, his eyes suddenly showing a hint of hope.

"Lawyer Xu, are you here because there's a lead on my son's case!?"

Sun Zhongmin spoke with a faint hint of excitement.

Xu Liang nodded but didn't give a definite answer. Instead, he glanced at the sleeping people around, pondered for a moment, and gestured for Sun Zhongmin to step aside.

Liu Kun was clearly keeping an eye on Huangyan Village.

Who knows who the informant was, maybe pretending to sleep right beside the coffin!

The two walked into the courtyard.

Sun Zhongmin could no longer suppress his excitement, speaking softly:

"Lawyer Xu, could you tell me about my son now..."

As he spoke, he suddenly stopped, unable to continue, or perhaps not knowing what to say.

Xu Liang replied:

"For now, it appears that Sun Jin's death is indeed questionable, and the issues are significant!"

His expression was serious, his demeanor earnest.

Whether it was the attitude of the city police, Liu Kun, or the condition of the corpse, all indirectly confirmed the severity of what was being concealed.

Sun Zhongmin's suspicions were not unfounded.

His son's death...was indeed unusual!

"Who killed my son!?"

Sun Zhongmin's eyes turned blood red instantly, his fists clenched.

Xu Liang said nothing.

He just pulled out a few photos from his briefcase.

The night was deep, making it impossible to see the photos clearly in the courtyard, but he then took out a flashlight.

"Click!"

The instant the flashlight illuminated the photos, Sun Jin's death scene appeared before Sun Zhongmin.

Looking at the photos.

Looking at his own son, who just months ago had called him with a cheerful "dad."

Sun Zhongmin's lips quivered, his eyes suddenly moist.

At this moment, Xu Liang pointed to the photo and said:

"According to the hospital, Sun Jin died of an acute heart attack."

"Generally, the causes of a heart attack include genetic heredity, congenital defects, infection, and over-strain."

"But..."

As he spoke.

Xu Liang paused, he pulled out a few more photos, showing them one by one.

These photos depict anomalies discovered within a short time.

Dark blue lines among the gums, corroded marks beneath the tongue, edema on the limbs and forehead, even purplish nails and lips.

Even a pale yellow on the skin surface!

These reactions do not correspond to any of the four heart attack causes!

Rather, it seems like...

"Poisoning!"

Xu Liang revealed the truth.

In an instant, Sun Zhongmin's pupils contracted, barely able to restrain himself.

Fortunately, Xu Liang helped him calm down quickly.

"Mr. Sun, this is just speculation right now; it could be other causes leading to Sun Jin's death."

"But either way, I need to verify it, I need an autopsy report to confirm the speculation!"

Xu Liang spoke seriously.

With each word, Sun Zhongmin gradually calmed down.

In the past month or so, he had tried many ways to get back the corpse, but to no avail.

Now that Xu Liang arrived, he found the corpse within just one day... naturally, he trusted the other party completely!

"Autopsy, I'll do it, I'll sign the contract!" Sun Zhongmin agreed immediately.

Xu Liang said, "Sun Jin's corpse is not in my hands now, agreeing is useless!"

What...not in your hands?

Sun Zhongmin was momentarily stunned.

So that means the police didn't agree to let Xu Liang take the corpse back either?

Then where did the photo come from?

Before he could react, Xu Liang spoke again:

"Dig up a grave for an autopsy!"

His expression was serious and earnest.

"Find someone who had a similar death circumstance to Sun Jin, but whose body is still there for an autopsy!"

"Mr. Sun, Huangyan Village has more than just one victim's family member."

"You need to at least find another deceased person's close relatives, which means their parents or children, in order to conduct an autopsy on the corpse!"

Upon hearing this.

Sun Zhongmin understood and lowered his head, deep in thought.

The other party could probably find someone.

Why think this way?

Because...that million-dollar commission wasn't just gathered by Sun Zhongmin alone!

It was the whole village, with some major contributions from people whose children died not long ago!

From the fact they contributed money, it's clear they also had grievances about the children's deaths!

Getting them to cooperate, naturally, wouldn't be difficult at all.

If they really didn't agree, Xu Liang could only...

Considering this, Xu Liang began to calculate the probability of being caught for secretly digging up a grave.

Fortunately, not long after, Sun Zhongmin's words dispelled this idea.

"Four months ago, Zhao Shan's son died, you see..." Sun Zhongmin said.

Four months ago...

That was the victim before Sun Jin!

"Where is he?"

Xu Liang's eyes lit up.

Four months, in this weather the corpse could certainly undergo a complete autopsy!

Sun Zhongmin didn't hesitate.

He directly walked into the funeral hall and gently woke a sleeping middle-aged man.

That middle-aged man was emaciated, appearing fifty or sixty years old, but he was actually just forty.

Sun Zhongmin whispered something to the confused man, and Zhao Shan was pulled over.

"Lawyer Xu, can you catch the culprit!?"

Zhao Shan excitedly grabbed Xu Liang, his hands were extremely strong, in stark contrast to his withered appearance.

"Can't guarantee, but to uncover the truth, we must have an autopsy!"

Xu Liang quietly explained.

"What is an autopsy?" Zhao Shan asked, somewhat confused.

"It's like doing a physical examination on the corpse!"

Xu Liang explained again, this time Zhao Shan understood, but not completely.

He simply made his intentions clear.

"Sun Jin's corpse is under police guard, there's no way to conduct it, what I mean is, Brother Zhao your child..."

Zhao Shan's child was the one who choked after drinking soda, didn't recover, and then died of acute heart disease.

At the time, Zhao Shan only felt it was fate cursing him. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

So, he directly brought the corpse back from the hospital and hastily buried it.

But who would have thought, in just over two months, Sun Jin mysteriously died again...

Even a fool could feel there's definitely a problem here!

"What I mean is, to bring your child..."

Xu Liang's eyes were resolute, staring at Zhao Shan, "Dig him out from the grave!"

"Dig...dig him out!?"

Zhao Shan's lips trembled.

As a father, he didn't want to do such a thing.

But the cause of his child's death was questionable...

"Do we really...really need to dig him out?"

Zhao Shan felt suffocated.

He didn't know how to face his child.

After being dead for four months, the corpse would likely be decayed, digging it up...he feared he'd break down and cry uncontrollably.

"We must dig!"

Xu Liang said.

Must dig...

Zhao Shan's heart trembled, subtly wavering.

Until...

Xu Liang's final words became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

"Uncle Zhao, look at this, this is the scene after Sun Jin died."

He directly put out the photo of Sun Jin.

"If your child ended up like this too, then I can tell you, the probability of poisoning death...is extremely high!"

Poisoning death.

Which means...murder!?

Die unclear of the circumstances, born to be a fool, or dig them out to investigate the truth...

Zhao Shan was silent for a long while, before his expression turned fierce.

He said:

"Dig it up!!!"
