Jiang Youzhi and Yun Jiao both shook their heads.
The constable continued, "Doctor Gu, think carefully. Since that person wanted your prescription, could it be that the person is a doctor or works at a pharmacy?"
"After all, ordinary people wouldn’t want a prescription, right?"
He himself didn’t see much value in a prescription.
Yun Jiao felt the constable’s words made sense. She kept feeling that the person’s accent seed sowhat familiar.
She suddenly said, "I rember now, the one who wanted to write the secret recipe is probably Manager Sun!"
Jiang Youzhi squinted, "The forr Manager Sun of Qilin Hall?"
Yun Jiao nodded, "It should be him. I used to find his speech a bit strange because his accent, at first, sounded like the Xiang City accent, but so pronunciations were sowhat different."
It was the last ti she visited the ninety-nine-year-old Zhang old master’s house that she found the Zhang Family’s accent was similar to Manager Sun’s.
The constables exchanged glances and imdiately said, "Who knows where Manager Sun’s house is?"
Yun Jiao quickly said, "Our servant Zhang Shun should know his house."
"Zhang Shun is currently at Renxin Hall."
The constable nodded, split a few people to take the three to the governnt office, while two others went to Renxin Hall.
Lin Shuo also got up, "I’ll follow and take a look."
Arriving at Renxin Hall and finding Zhang Shun, the group headed straight to Manager Sun’s house.
Knocked on the door, the two constables barged in.
The old man who opened the door dared not speak and quickly moved aside.
Entering the main courtyard, Lin Shuo and Zhang Shun heard rhythmic sounds from the east wing.
That sound, Lin Shuo, having spent so long at the pharmacy, was very familiar—it was the sound of the rolling grindstone.
Zhang Shun pointed to the east wing. A constable kicked the door open, and they saw Manager Sun standing on the grindstone. Turning around to see the constable, he was so scared he fell off.
The constable asked Zhang Shun, "Is it him?"
Zhang Shun nodded with a complex expression.
The constable quickly grabbed Manager Sun’s shoulder and pulled him along.
In Great Chu, there’s no concept of human rights, let alone the need to show an arrest warrant. If the governnt wants to take you away, you have to obediently go.
Unless you are soone with titles, the governnt will treat you politely.
Manager Sun suspected it was about Doctor Gu’s kidnapping case, not knowing why it was exposed but still harbored so luck. He struggled a bit and shouted, "Why are you arresting ?"
"I haven’t broken the law!"
Lin Shuo stood outside, arms crossed, looking at him coldly.
Manager Sun was pushed out, and seeing Lin Shuo, he instantly fell silent.
Now there was no doubt, it must be the kidnapping incident that had been exposed.
At this mont, Mrs. He, Manager Sun’s wife, rushed out from the house. Though sowhat afraid upon seeing the officer, she still asked, "What are you doing?"
A constable glanced at her coldly, "He’s suspected of involvent in a kidnapping case; we’re taking him back for questioning."
Mrs. He exclaid in shock, "Can’t be."
The constable snorted coldly, "Not only kidnapping but it also led to a death."
"A little girl died."
Manager Sun was dumbfounded, "Impossible, I didn’t tell them to kill, I only asked them to keep an eye on them!"
His legs went weak; Yun Jiao was dead?
He got himself caught in a murder case?
How could these people handle things this way!
He never said to take her life!
Mrs. He gaped, hearing her husband say this, did he really kidnap soone?
My heavens!
The constable rely sneered, pushing Manager Sun out, "Speak your piece in the courtroom."
