Chapter 179 The Prince's Wrath
Just as the two were trembling uncontrollably, a pleasant voice, as if from another world, came from behind them, "Why is Your Highness so angry? Be careful not to hurt yourself. Let's hear what the coroner, Li, has to say."
Who else but Feng Qingge would dare to speak up even when Mo Linyuan was furious? Even Hei Ming took two steps back after Mo Linyuan's aura began to change, standing aside without daring to speak coldly.
When Feng Qingge spoke, not only were the two kneeling below surprised, but even Hei Ming was extremely impressed. This Third Young Master was indeed highly skilled and daring, not even afraid of the Prince.
Looking at Mo Linyuan again, her words miraculously calmed his anger. Although his expression was still somewhat cold, it was much better than when he was so intimidating.
Mo Linyuan remained silent, his face cold and his jaw clenched, clearly showing he had little patience.
However, the two people lying prone on the ground did not dare to raise their heads, so they did not see this expression. They just supported themselves with their hands on the ground and their heads were close to the ground, trembling with fear.
"You two, answer me now!" Frustrated and exasperated, Feng Qingge could only remind Li Qi that the two of them were idiots and she didn't know why Qin Hong had sent them.
"Yes, young master, yes..." Li Qi suddenly kicked out, then shuddered, quickly looked up at Feng Qingge, and then stammered, speaking slowly, afraid of angering the Regent again, "Your Highness, young master, I really didn't know that the body would be like this. All the bodies brought into the morgue are covered with white sheets, which are only lifted during the autopsy. And that body hasn't been examined since it was brought in, so I didn't know anything about it. Besides, all the bodies here are the victims of this case. I thought, I thought..." He didn't finish his sentence, thinking that everyone knew the truth.
However, since the first two bodies were in that state, it's likely that the latter two would be the same without further examination. No wonder Li Qi overlooked this crucial clue.
"Hmph, you think? If it's all just your opinion, then in my opinion, you don't need to work as an autopsy doctor anymore. You might as well become a constable and investigate cases." Hearing him say that, Mo Linyuan got angry, and his temper, which had just calmed down, rose up again.
Li Qi was so frightened that he fell to the ground with a thud, trembling so badly that he couldn't get up.
"Yes, yes, Your Highness is right. It was my oversight. Please forgive me, Your Highness."
Mo Linyuan didn't want to pay attention to him; just looking at him annoyed him. He was especially dissatisfied with Qin Hong, thinking that he was quite smart, so how could he have found such a stupid person?
"Alright, alright, if it were me, I might have made the same mistake. Your Highness, please don't be angry. After all, the first two corpses gave me a preconceived notion, so it's inevitable that I would make a mistake." Feng Qingge was a good peacemaker, saying all the nice things she could think of, which only highlighted Mo Linyuan's wickedness.
Well, it wasn't really a big deal, but since the case hadn't made any progress and the only clue had been ignored, how could he not be angry?
Seeing that Mo Linyuan remained silent, Feng Qingge quickly kicked Li Qi's foot and said, "Get up! The prince has already forgiven you. What are you still kneeling on the ground for?"
The two looked at each other, neither daring to utter a sound. However, seeing that the Regent had his back to them and hadn't said anything after hearing this, they mustered their courage and stood up.
