Chapter 12: Hiding the Corpse in Her House!
Page 1/3
It seemed most likely that the dog had eaten some rotten meat buried in the ground, which caused the diarrhea. But to convince Ms. Wang, Sang Ye had to be more precise.
Sang Ye said, “The ultrasound didn’t show any foreign objects, so whatever it ate must have been completely digested. I’ll draw some blood for tests. If we still can’t find the exact problem, we might need to do an X-ray.”
Ms. Wang nodded. “Okay.”
Sang Ye quickly drew blood from the Samoyed and sent it for analysis. The results confirmed her suspicions; two or three indicators were alarmingly high.
It was clear the dog had eaten something contaminated.
Combined with the dog's behavior, this basically verified her guess.
Out of responsibility, Sang Ye asked, “Ms. Wang, has anything unusual happened at your home recently?”
Although Ms. Wang’s appearance was unremarkable, she was far from foolish and immediately picked up on the implication in Sang Ye’s question. “What do you mean? Does this have something to do with the dog’s illness?”
Knowing that people don’t usually help without some risk, she immediately reassured, “You can tell me anything; I won’t blame you, and this won’t affect you.”
Sang Ye thought for a moment and said, “You mentioned the dog’s diet hasn’t changed in the past few days. But I noticed it looks listless, its eyes different from normal dogs’, so it must have eaten something it shouldn’t have.”
“However, I did an ultrasound. If it had swallowed something indigestible, there would be residue inside its body, but I checked repeatedly and found nothing.”
“The blood test shows several markers unusually high, indicating the thing it ate is highly decomposed… that’s why it’s vomiting and has diarrhea.”
“Also, look at its front paws—there are clear marks from digging, which suggests it probably dug something buried in the ground. Has your family recently buried any meat?”
She didn’t directly accuse Ms. Wang of having a corpse buried, only making a cautious guess.
“But this is just my speculation. I recommend checking the places the dog has been frequenting these past couple of days.”
After finishing, Sang Ye added, “I’ll prescribe some medicine to stop the vomiting and diarrhea.”
Hearing this, Ms. Wang recalled recent events at home and pondered—could there really be something buried?
After the medicine, Sang Ye gave the dog some water and observed it. Though it was still weak, it hadn’t vomited again, only some lingering diarrhea.

Sang Ye handed the remaining medicine to Ms. Wang. “Give it a few more doses at home, and its symptoms should improve. Try to prevent it from eating anything inappropriate again.”
Ms. Wang nodded. “Understood. I’ll investigate this.”
Suddenly, Sang Ye’s expression grew serious. “Also, I suggest you report this to the police.”
Ms. Wang’s face stiffened as she looked at Sang Ye.
Sang Ye continued, “You might not believe it, but maybe from working with animals so much, I can understand some of what they ‘say.’ What the dog dug up might be related to a criminal case.”
Ms. Wang’s eyes widened in disbelief; did she really hear that right? Could this doctor actually understand animal speech?
Yet she quickly accepted the idea. She often watched short videos of streamers helping animals solve problems.
The world was full of strange things; maybe Sang Ye was telling the truth.
Thinking of the recent troubles at home, Ms. Wang made a decision. “Doctor Sang, if it’s convenient, could you come back with me? I’m worried if I go alone, they might discover I’m onto them and get tipped off. Since you can understand what the dog is saying, you should be able to locate where it’s buried.”
If they could find evidence, resolving this would be much easier.
Sang Ye hadn’t expected that merely providing a clue would pull her into this matter.
Fearing refusal, Ms. Wang quickly offered, “If we really find it, I’ll give you fifty thousand—no, one hundred thousand!”
Sang Ye thought for a moment and shook her head. “I can help, but I have two conditions.”
Ms. Wang said, “Go ahead.”
Sang Ye said, “No one can see me, and you can’t tell others I helped with this.”
Ms. Wang had expected a price hike or some resource demand—she was even prepared for excessive requests. But Sang Ye only asked for these two simple things.
She suddenly realized how presumptuous she had been.
Used to every favor coming with conditions and prices, where only exchanges of interest last.
For people from families like hers, free things were often the most costly.
This was the first time she encountered someone like this and found herself studying Sang Ye closely.
This clinic was recommended by a friend who said the doctor was good.
Now it seemed that was true.

Ms. Wang nodded. “That’s fine, but I will still give you what I promised. Thank you for providing such an important lead.”
“Thanks for your help today. Once I make arrangements, I’ll come pick you up.”
Sang Ye thought wealthy people liked this kind of approach; if she didn’t accept, they wouldn’t feel at ease.
So she nodded in agreement. “Okay.”
Ms. Wang cradled the Samoyed and quickly left the clinic.
She hadn’t told anyone about today’s events and began investigating quietly after returning home.
Their family was well-known in Longhu City, but a few days ago her husband passed away, and suddenly some unscrupulous people appeared trying to claim the inheritance.
Her uncle had obviously known about this for some time and kept urging her to recognize their ancestral lineage.
They had always favored sons over daughters but, unfortunately, she had only a daughter.
Now it seemed the Li family had already planned this!
But how could she agree?
She wasn’t a pushover, letting them trample her easily.
Not to mention the strangers claiming to be her husband’s children with dubious paternity tests—she refused to acknowledge them.
If they were so capable, they should get him to do the test!
Otherwise, the inheritance belonged to her daughter; no one could take it!
They were dissatisfied and threatened to sue her, but who was Wang Ya?
Back when she and Li Zhong worked hard together at the company, those people weren’t even out of diapers!
Unfortunately, Li Zhong died in a car accident, without leaving a will.
Otherwise, things might have been more complicated.
Many people had come and gone during this time, making the investigation troublesome but not impossible.
If she weren’t afraid of alerting them, she would have invited them one by one for the dog to recognize.
Who had the nerve to hide a corpse on her property?!
