In the evening, Chun Qiong hosted a banquet at the Mandarin Duck Tower, inviting Lu Chuan and some local dignitaries. Among them was the transport officer from Guanghan City, for whom the banquet was originally prepared. After the dinner, he was to set off, transporting Liu Jinshi's body and the case files back to Guanghan City for a second autopsy.

The sound of the zither lingered in the air. Si Xiaohong wore a plain white silk dress today. Although it was thin, the hall was well-lit and crowded, so she didn't feel cold.

Chun Qiong, Lu Chuan, and the transport officer Xun Cheng sat at a separate table, their quietness contrasting sharply with the surrounding noise.

After a few rounds of drinks, everyone became more familiar with each other. Chun Qiong raised a glass to the transport officer and asked with a smile, "May I ask, Lord Xun, how many days will it take for Liu Jinshi's case to be resolved in Guanghan City?"
