After the assistant left, Hollis carefully initiated small talk with Pearce. Hollis tried to ask him indirectly about what happened. However, Pearce did not answer his inquisitions. He merely drank his tea in silence. Hollis felt quite embarrassed with how Pearce was treating him. However, he finally figured out that Pierce did not want to talk about it at that time. At last, he chose to stop asking Pierce and silently wait with him.

In any case, they had been waiting for more than an hour and still, the coroner was nowhere in sight. With a cold sweat on his forehead, Hollis strode to the door and asked the guard outside, "Where is my assistant?"

"He went out to look for the coroner in person," replied the guard.

"Didn't the coroner come to the government office today?" Hollis then asked.

"He's on leave today so he didn't come to work. The assistant went to his home to fetch him there. I think it wouldn't be long now. My Lord, may I ask what happened? Why did Marquis Pearce bring so many people here? It seems like.

onounced a guilty sentence for Alexander because of that. I did not collude with others or deliberately misinterpreted anything. If someone really fabricated the report, I was deceived as well. I have no idea about the whole thing at all."

Pearce stared down at Hollis before asking, "Then how are you going to deal with it?"

"I will follow your orders," Hollis obediently said. As far as he was concerned, he was not to blame. At this moment, he thought following Pearce's orders was the best way to deal with the matter.

"Give Hollis the record of the corpse's inspection," Pearce commanded right away.

"Yes, My Lord!"

Hollis reviewed the report carefully word by word. At last, there was so much cold sweat on his forehead after he finished reading the report. He found out that Alexander was indeed innocent. Since Pearce came in here with so many of his guards, Hollis didn't know what Pearce would want him to deal with the case. If he were going to be hanged for a sheep, he should have just been hanged for a lamb.
