Chapter 258 Seizing the Initiative
Although the shouts coming from outside the courtyard were not loud, the atmosphere of panic and chaos was very strong.
It immediately attracted the attention of Ye Shaohong and his group.
They stood up at the same time.
"Yunlong, you're fast, hurry over there and protect the scene."
"No one is allowed to go in and examine the body before I get there."
As soon as Ye Shaohong gave the order, Li Yunlong leaped out of the room. You have to admit, he truly lives up to his title as the King of the Northern Bandits.
In just a few blinks of an eye, Li Yunlong had already arrived at the courtyard wall.
Perhaps because he was in a hurry to get on his way, Li Yunlong did not open the courtyard gate this time. He flipped over and jumped onto the courtyard wall, and then disappeared.
Ye Shaohong was also busy.
He got up, picked up the coat he had just taken off, and walked towards the front door with Zhuang Yifan and Zhou Haichao.
At this moment, Yu Manli also heard the shouts and pushed open the door to come out.
"Shao Hong!"
Yu Manli's shout made Ye Shaohong stop immediately. He turned around and looked at Yu Manli.
After a brief moment of thought, Ye Shaohong nodded.
"Why don't you go and take a look too?"
If it were an ordinary woman, Ye Shaohong would definitely not have let her go along to join in the fun.
But Yu Manli is different.
She was definitely a remarkable woman in her time, and since the deceased third concubine was a woman, it was indeed quite inconvenient for the men to examine her body.
The Sun family would not allow them to touch the body of the third concubine.
Yu Manli's existence solved this problem perfectly.
Therefore, after thinking it over, Ye Shaohong invited Yu Manli over, and Yu Manli naturally did not refuse.
And so, the four of them left the courtyard.
Following the shouts, they soon arrived at the entrance of a courtyard.
Before we even got close, we could hear a loud argument coming from afar.
That was Li Yunlong's voice.
"no!"
"Commissioner Ye gave the order that no one is allowed to enter and disturb the crime scene until he arrives."
"Why?"
"Don't forget, this is the Sun family home. You're an outsider. What right do you have to interfere in my family's affairs? Get out of my way."
"Guards! Are you all blind? Take him away!"
Amidst the arguing, several servants from the Sun family stepped forward, making a move to pull at Li Yunlong's clothes.
But Li Yunlong is not someone to be trifled with.
He also received a death order from Ye Shaohong, so he dared not move an inch.
Facing several servants from the Sun family who were walking towards him, Li Yunlong nimbly threw a few punches and easily knocked them all to the ground.
Seeing how powerful Li Yunlong was, the people in the Sun family became anxious.
They both turned around and looked at the old woman holding a dragon-headed cane at the front of the crowd.
"Madam..."
With everyone watching her so closely, Grandma Sun could no longer stand idly by.
She gripped the dragon-headed cane tightly, stepped forward, and her cloudy eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light as she stared directly at Li Yunlong.
"Commander Li, what are you trying to do?"
“If someone dies in my Sun family, it is naturally up to my Sun family to handle it. Even if there is a real problem, it should be reported to the government and handled by the Hanyang County Police Bureau.”
"You are merely envoys sent by the National Government to offer condolences. You have no right to interfere in this matter. Please make way."
Unlike the other concubines, the old lady of the Sun family did not act recklessly. She seized on Li Yunlong's identity and used it to force him to make concessions.
Upon seeing this, Li Yunlong immediately narrowed his eyes.
He didn't care about those unreasonable people, but the old lady of the Sun family was different. What she said was reasonable and well-founded, and she also had a distinguished status. Even though he was just a small-time special agent captain and had some power, he didn't dare to contradict her.
Having no other choice, Li Yunlong could only soften his expression and explain to the old lady of the Sun family again.
They claimed it was a major murder case.
At the time of the incident, he happened to be at the Sun residence. As part of his duty, he had to protect the scene. If there were any problems, he could wait for Commissioner Ye Shaohong to arrive before resolving them.
Just as everyone was exchanging heated words, Ye Shaohong arrived with Yu Manli, Zhuang Yifan, and Zhou Haichao.
Looking at the large group of women at the entrance of the courtyard, Ye Shaohong felt quite troubled.
He stopped and turned to look at Zhou Haichao.
Zhou Haichao was a smart man. Without Ye Shaohong having to say anything, he quickened his pace and ran over directly.
After pushing through the crowd, Zhou Haichao went directly to the old lady of the Sun family. Under the puzzled gazes of the crowd, Zhou Haichao reached into his pocket, took out his identification, and handed it directly to the old lady.
"Madam Sun, I'm afraid this matter cannot be left to you to handle."
"Please take them and leave first."
Upon seeing the documents Zhou Haichao handed over, Grandma Sun narrowed her eyes, a look of surprise flashing across her face.
She took the document, glanced at it, and immediately closed it.
Then she stared at Zhou Haichao for a while, scrutinized him, and finally sighed softly, handed the documents back to him, and turned to leave.
"Oh, madam, you can't leave."
"This is a matter for the Sun family; how can we allow outsiders to interfere?"
"Madam..." The concubines of the Sun family, seeing the Third Concubine commit suicide for no reason, already felt a sense of shared sorrow and were eager to find out the cause of the Third Concubine's death. How could they let Li Yunlong and Zhou Haichao interfere recklessly?
They shouted in unison, trying to regain control.
"do not talk."
"This matter is now beyond our control."
"Go back and rest."
The old lady of the Sun family stomped her dragon-headed cane forcefully and made a decision without hesitation.
Just then, Ye Shaohong arrived with Yu Manli and Zhuang Yifan.
They ran right into the old lady of the Sun family.
The old lady of the Sun family stopped and, for the first time, seriously examined and scrutinized Ye Shaohong.
A moment later, she laughed. It was a strange laugh.
"I misjudged you."
"I never expected that Commissioner Ye would have such a background at such a young age."
"Then you've traveled a long way to come and pay your respects to my son; surely your motives aren't entirely pure."
"Does the National Government suspect there are other reasons for my son's death?"
This woman in her sixties or seventies, when she straightened her posture, really had the air of authority of a head of a large family. Faced with her intense gaze, Ye Shaohong also stopped in his tracks.
"Grandma, you've misunderstood me."
"I am indeed here to pay my respects. As for Deputy Section Chief Zhou Haichao, he was from the Jiangcheng Station of the Special Service Department. He was the guide that Station Chief He of the Jiangcheng Station arranged for me."
"His taking over your Sun family's case has absolutely nothing to do with me!"
