Chapter 285: Chapter 284: Exposing the Lies

"Fine, I said I would, so I’ll just stand to the side and take a look." Knowing where the other party came from, Zhang Xiaoshan was more confident.

He glanced at Lin Yanran beside him, and then said.

"Don’t worry, I’ve got your back today. I’ll definitely not let you be wronged."

As he spoke, he placed a hand on the coffin lid.

"Creak..."

The heavy coffin lid was immediately lifted halfway by Zhang Xiaoshan.

Inside, the upper body of a man was revealed.

The man was dressed in his burial clothes, his eyes tightly closed, his complexion pale, motionless.

Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes inspection, listening, questioning, and pulse-taking.

Elder Li and Lin Yanran both looked over and even placed a small piece of tissue paper at the man’s nose, let it stay there for half a minute, but the tissue didn’t move at all, as if there was no breath.

"Miss, the man is indeed dead."

Elder Li came to a conclusion, and Lin Yanran’s eyes, which had contained some hope, dimmed.

"Uncle Li, you take their people to get the money from the finance on that day."

"Heh heh, smart of you to see reason, rest assured, we’ll leave as soon as we get the money."

At this moment, the burly man rubbed his hands together, clearly eager to leave.

Meanwhile, in the crowd outside, a man with a duckbill cap was filming inside the pharmacy with a miniature camera.

Everything was being recorded by that tiny camera. As long as Lin Yanran really paid up today, the incident would spread like wildfire on social media tomorrow, fermenting online. The Lin family would definitely suffer heavy losses, and as the primary responsible party, Yanran was certain to be severely punished by the family, possibly even abandoned.

"What’s the rush?"

Zhang Xiaoshan once again stood in front of the burly man, blocking his way.

The burly man was clearly getting impatient now.

"You damn kid, what’s wrong with you? This matter has nothing to do with you, yet you insist on interfering. I’ve let you see the body, what more do you want to say?"

"If you’re just looking for trouble without cause, don’t blame me for hitting you."

The burly man swung up the cleaver in his hand, aiming it at Zhang Xiaoshan’s neck.

"Ah."

Lin Yanran and the others screamed in fright.

"Zhang, Doctor Zhang, don’t argue with him anymore, I’ll give the money, I’ll give it to him."

"Big brother, isn’t it just the money you want? I’ll give it to you, all three million, not a cent less, just put down the knife."

But Zhang Xiaoshan was not only unafraid, he even shook his neck at the burly man.

"Not to disrespect you, but I’m stretching out my neck here, if you have the guts, take a swing."

"If you have the guts, cut once."

Zhang Xiaoshan was forceful, repeatedly pushing his neck towards the blade.

"Kid, don’t, don’t provoke me."

The burly man had not expected Zhang Xiaoshan to be so unafraid of death.

He was only after money; how could he actually kill someone?

This was awkward now.

"Not daring to kill me? Then put that knife away."

"Kid, what the hell do you want?" the burly man still clung to his last shreds of rationality.

Although he was just paid to do a job and didn’t want to kill, he could still bring himself to give Zhang Xiaoshan a beating.

Zhang Xiaoshan didn’t waste words and stated directly.

"Give me five more minutes to answer a few questions of mine, and that will be all."

"Kid, those are your words. Just five minutes, this is my last concession. If you dare make another demand, I’ll really do it."

"After five minutes, if you don’t bring the money, I’ll tear this place apart."

The burly man had thought that dealing with a little girl would definitely go smoothly, but who could have foreseen a Zhang Xiaoshan getting in the way, making what should have been a simple task complicated.

"a

"Alright, after five minutes, if there’s still no sign of life in the coffin, I’ll personally throw in an extra hundred thousand for you."

"Your time starts now."

With that, Zhang Xiaoshan walked over to the pharmacy’s counter, took out a jar of honey, and smeared it around the edge of the coffin lid, then closed the coffin lid again.

"What is he doing?"

"Is he crazy?"

The crowd couldn’t understand Zhang Xiaoshan’s actions.

Zhang Xiaoshan clapped his hands and asked the burly man.

"I ask you, when did the man die?"

The burly man blurted out.

"Three days ago."

"Three days ago?" Zhang Xiaoshan smiled.

"In such hot weather, a body dead for three days has not even a hint of rotting smell, don’t you find that strange?"

When he heard this, the burly man was taken aback.

Elder Li was also startled, and said to Lin Yanran.

"Yes, miss, indeed there was no smell of decay on that person just now."

"If someone had really been dead for three days in this heat, it’s impossible for there to be no odor at all; they’re lying."

"Bullshit."

At this point, the burly man immediately became anxious.

"It’s cold in our house. After the person died, we put him in the fridge, kept him frozen, okay?"

"Frozen? Haha, okay, let’s say what you’re telling me is true."

"Doctor Li, take a good look at those medicine dregs they brought."

"Hmm?"

Upon hearing this, Elder Li took a look at the medicine dregs.

"I prepared this medicine, it is correct. What’s the problem?" Elder Li didn’t quite understand Zhang Xiaoshan’s point.

At this time, Zhang Xiaoshan said with a smile.

"Doctor Li, having worked for so many years, don’t you recognize what three-day-old medicine dregs look like?"

Upon hearing these words, Doctor Li had an epiphany.

He hurriedly dumped the medicine dregs into his palm again.

"This is wrong, this is wrong, these medicine dregs still have their potency, and they’re very moist. That means first, these dregs have not been placed for more than twenty-four hours, and second, these herbs have not been simmered for long, just simply boiled in water for a bit."

"That’s right."

Zhang Xiaoshan took the remaining half bag of medicine dregs, placed it in front of the burly man, stared into his eyes with a sharp tone, and asked.

"The person died three days ago, who did you boil the medicine for within the last twenty-four hours?"

"Moreover, even if someone did drink this prescription, with just this level of cooking, it could hardly have any medicinal effect, so how could a person be poisoned to death?"

"You’re lying."

"Bang."

Zhang Xiaoshan slammed the medicine dregs onto the table beside him, making a loud noise.

For a moment, everyone was stunned.

"Big brother, what should we do now?"

The people following the burly man immediately became flustered.
