Doctor and His Glamorous Sister-in-Law-Chapter 537 - 540 Cause of Death

Do I really have nothing to do? It's killing me being so idle every day.

At Baozhi Hall, Lu Shuangyue had everything under control, so there was nothing for him to do. He couldn't get involved at Ting Tian Pavilion either, unless he went over to select raw jade stones.

Wait, select raw jade stones... Liu Ergou's eyes suddenly lit up as he realized where he could go. He picked up his phone and called Mi Xiao Ying. The call connected quickly.

"Hey, Xiao Ying, I happen to have some free time today. I'll come over and help you select some raw stones!" he said cheerfully. "That way, we can build up a larger reserve and won't be scrambling when things get hectic. How does that sound?"

Liu Ergou assumed that after he put it that way, Mi Xiao Ying would definitely invite him over. But to his complete surprise, she actually refused him.

"No, that's alright, Er Gou. There's no need for you to select stones right now. You don't have to come over; just take these next couple of days to rest."

Hearing this, Liu Ergou was dumbfounded.

Mi Xiao Ying refused me?! This, this…

He fell silent, not knowing what to say. On the other end of the line, Mi Xiao Ying heard the silence and, guessing he might be upset, quickly explained, "It's like this, Er Gou, Ting Tian Pavilion is operating normally, but it's actually incredibly busy right now."

"Do you remember our plan from before?" she continued. "Ever since we implemented it, Ting Tian Pavilion has become incredibly popular. We're so busy we can barely keep up!"

"Also, I've been thinking, we can't have every customer find jade in their stone. If that were the case, everyone would realize something was fishy with Ting Tian Pavilion! So I adjusted the probability. Now, out of ten people, six will successfully find jade, and the other four can get a refund. After I made that change, the number of customers increased even more!"

Hearing Mi Xiao Ying's explanation, Liu Ergou couldn't really say anything more. After all, they were swamped with work over there. If he went now, he wouldn't be helping—he'd just be getting in the way. There was no way to justify that. Defeated, Liu Ergou could only nod to himself, showing he understood.

"Alright, I get it. I won't come over and bother you, then. That's all."

Just as he was about to hang up, Mi Xiao Ying spoke again. "Oh, Er Gou, I almost forgot to tell you. Do you remember how we won all of Sun Gang's businesses?"

"Yeah, what about it?" Liu Ergou asked, a little confused.

Mi Xiao Ying's voice suddenly turned serious. "On the surface, it looks like Sun Gang has pulled out of the city. But shortly after he left, several new large businesses have sprung up. I did some research and found out they are all financed by Sun Gang. So, you understand what I mean, right?"

Liu Ergou fell silent. He understood her implication perfectly.

So Sun Gang isn't willing to give up; he's still determined to oppose me. If that's the case, I'll probably face a lot of trouble in the future—one scheme after another.

After a moment of contemplation, Liu Ergou finally said, "I understand, Xiao Ying. Since he hasn't made a move yet, we can't just go looking for trouble. For now, we can only keep an eye on them and see what they're up to."

Hearing his response, Mi Xiao Ying nodded and said she understood. The two chatted for a few more moments before hanging up.

After ending the call, Liu Ergou heaved a long sigh. Great, now I have nowhere to go again. This is just so frustrating.

Just then, it occurred to him that he knew more than one woman—he knew several.

I might as well call them and see what they're up to.

So, Liu Ergou made three phone calls in a row. By the time he was done, his frustration had completely boiled over. The reason was simple: every one of them was busy. They were either in class, traveling, or occupied with company business. None of them had time to spend with him.

Staring at his steering wheel, Liu Ergou let out a long sigh and slumped back into his seat.

"My life is so hard!" he wailed.

He fully reclined his seat, planning to catch up on some proper sleep right there in the car. After all, even though he'd slept last night, he hadn't been able to rest soundly with Feng Chunling by his side.

However, just as Liu Ergou lay down, his phone suddenly rang. He pulled it out and saw the caller was Han Jiajia. He quickly answered.

As soon as the call connected, Han Jiajia's voice came through. "Er Gou, come to the police station. I'm here right now. We have a result in that case. The killer has been caught. Come over so we can talk."

Upon hearing this, Liu Ergou was stunned. It's only been two days. How did they find the killer so quickly? That's unbelievably fast.

Before Liu Ergou could say anything else, Han Jiajia abruptly hung up. Staring at the disconnected call on his screen, he had a helpless look on his face.

Han Jiajia is really impatient... but I'm used to it by now.

Thinking this, Liu Ergou adjusted his seat, started the car, and headed straight for the police station. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

When he arrived, he saw Han Jiajia standing at the entrance, waiting for him. Upon seeing his car, she didn't waste any time and slid directly into the passenger seat.

As soon as she sat down, she said, "There are some things we can only discuss out here."

"Originally, I wanted to notify Feng Chunling and the others, but considering their emotional state, it wouldn't be appropriate for them to know about this yet, so I decided to tell you instead. You can find the right moment to tell them."

Liu Ergou nodded, indicating he understood.

Seeing his nod, Han Jiajia didn't dawdle and went straight to the point. "After I reported this to my superiors, a special investigation into the victim's life was immediately launched. The investigation revealed that the victim was not faithful—he was keeping another woman on the side. Furthermore, he had a gambling habit."

Hearing this, Liu Ergou couldn't help but look shocked. I can't believe Yang Mei's father had a gambling habit. This... this is disastrous. Anything but gambling! That's a bottomless, endless abyss.

Seeing his surprised expression, Han Jiajia continued. "The specific cause of death was related to gambling. Right before he died, the victim had just won a large sum of money in a game. However, the other party refused to pay up, and the two started arguing. In the end, neither would back down, and they got into a physical fight. The brawl started inside the room and spilled outside."
