One second to remember …

Just as Liu Wei had said, she and Rong Ling stayed in the room until dinner time.

After he finished speaking, Liu Wei's heart ached again. Her white hands caressed Rong Ling's profound and exquisite face, stroking it inch by inch, as she asked softly, "Are you feeling bad?"

Rong Ling pulled her hand, and held her ten fingers tightly: "Sit down and let me have a good look, I don't need to eat anything."

Liu Wei immediately laughed: "I don't need you to say sweet nothings. Just hurry up and get better."

Then, Liu Wei lowered her eyes again, and said dejectedly: "I'm sorry, I didn't find you early. If it weren't for you being fortunate and being saved by the Yun siblings, such an injury might have already … "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry …"

"It's not your fault." Rong Ling said gently, "To still be able to reunite is already a blessing from the heavens."

Liu Wei immediately nodded her head, in complete agreement.

Xiaoli also agreed and nodded her head vigorously.

At the same time, he was also treating Xiaoli wholeheartedly, the medicine never stopped, and from beginning to end, he even took out his own money. In front of him, even Xiaoli, Ugly and Miss Li, who was completely unfamiliar with him, could take it.

The family of three, together with Lady Li, had previously relied on the four siblings, whom they had met by chance, to provide them with a good meal and a good living.

Liu Wei felt that even if it was her, he might not unconditionally do all this for a few strangers. Hence, encountering these four people was really their family's greatest fortune.

The tornado had ruthlessly dispersed their family of four, not mentioning the difficulties they had gone through in the process. However, they were still able to reunite and were safe and sound, truly, they had to properly thank the Yun siblings.

Liu Wei made a decision in her heart, and decided that from tomorrow onwards, she would properly repay this gratitude.

Of course, he had to pay for other things, such as silver, Rong Ling's medical expenses, he had to pay for them.

With that said, Liu Wei realised that he did not have enough money to rob Wei Chou and Zhong Ziyu. After muttering for a while, she looked at her son: "Xiaoli, bring me to the yamen tomorrow morning."

Xiaoli wanted to tell his mother about the West River County's murder case, but when she heard it, she immediately agreed. "Fine, fine, I'm familiar with the yamen here, and Mother, I even participated in the medical examination to solve the case. If Mother wants to know anything, you can ask me right now!"

Liu Wei asked: "How much is the yamen's reward for solving the case?"

Xiaoli was startled. He thought that her mother wanted to ask him about the details of the case, but he pointed with her finger and said, "One hundred silver."

Liu Wei's eyes turned round. "Only a hundred silver taels?"

Xiaoli paused for a moment, then his body shrank back. "No, is that not enough?"

Liu Wei sighed as she looked at his son's young and tender face. She patted his head and said, "You're still too inexperienced."

Xiaoli did not understand.

Liu Wei imparted her experience to him: "This kind of case of leaving home, yet not being in the system, being purely a case of earning extra money, there is an additional price for it. Ask your Uncle Rong, when he sent me from the Qujiang County to the capital to solve the case, how much did he spend?"

Xiaoli looked at Uncle Rong.

Rong Ling was silent for a moment, and then said indifferently: "All of my possessions."

Xiaoli looked at his mother again.

Liu Wei shot Rong Ling a displeased glance, and said to his son: "Anyway, when we were dealing with that case of the young child's disappearance, I had earned several thousand gold from him.

Xiaoli was deep in thought, she clenched her fists and was eager to give it a try: "Then tomorrow I'll go to the yamen and ask for a price increase from County Magistrate Song!"

Liu Wei rubbed her son's head comfortingly, feeling extremely gratified. "Mother will go with you tomorrow.

After the two of them discussed about raising their wages, Liu Wei finally asked about some matters related to the case.

Different from randomly asking around on the streets, Xiaoli participated in the case from beginning to end.

He had more information than the yamen's documents, and at the same time, the case of Sun Tong was the one that had left him at a loss.

I've checked, Zhao Wu's small courtyard isn't the first crime scene. As for the specific time that the body pieces were thrown here, it should be between midnight and noon. However, there is not much evidence left in the surrounding environment, so today I went to the Sun family's Dye Workshop.

Liu Wei pondered for a moment, then gently nodded: "How did you investigate?"

Xiaoli said: "I have checked the walls, grasses, and even tree trunks, but there are no traces of stepping on them, no traces of oil or blood, I could not find any clues on the culprit's trail, including any clues on how to pull the corpse away."

Because of this, Xiaoli's hair had almost turned white.

But Liu Wei said at this time: "If we don't have the surrounding area, then what about the main entrance?"

Xiaoli was startled: "Ah?"

Liu Wei said: "Is it possible that the murderer just opened the door, casually picked up the corpse, and walked in through the main entrance, dumped the corpse, and then left through the main entrance?"

Xiaoli was confused, she blinked her eyes and quickly recalled.

Liu Wei stared at his son, waiting for him to give him the answer.

As for Rong Ling, who was sitting beside him, she had an expressionless face as she looked at Xiao Ye, who had been thrown to his father's side by his older brother because he had talked business with his mother.

After a while, Rong Ling held onto his daughter and pulled her into her embrace. With an experienced attitude, he comforted her: "It's alright, slowly get used to it."
