Early the next morning, Shen Hao did not go to the Ministry of Justice to fetch the forensic report from the Hawkeyes, but instead went first to the Public Office to find Jiang Cheng. In his view, the case of Qin Xiuyuan wasn't truly complicated—what was complex was the chain reaction behind it. What he needed now was to know Jiang Cheng's opinion.
As soon as he arrived, Shen Hao heard from the gatekeeper that Lord Governor was already waiting for him.
"You're here? Quite early. Have you got the case straightened out yet? I hear the Ministry of Justice already has their case file submitted. Surely you didn't come empty-handed?" Jiang Cheng was already sipping tea, obviously having been there for a while.
"My lord, there's a preliminary outline to the case, but drafting the file is problematic. I'd like your guidance."
Jiang Cheng smiled, nodding and waving his hand for Shen Hao to speak directly.
