In the end, Minister Yun Hanchi of the Ministry of Justice did not agree with Li Ang's proposal.
However, this was also within Li Ang's calculations.
Firstly, Li Shenbin was a member of the Royal Family. His father, Prince Changxiang, Li Chenghe, had a very deep friendship with Emperor Yu. This was why he was promoted from Commandery Duke to Commandery Prince.
Considering the face of the Royal Family, it was impossible to use such an embarrassing method to verify the truth.
Secondly, Li Ang wasn't entirely clear about the capabilities of the four garrison fine dogs—whether, after several days, they could still recall Li Shenbin's scent.
He suggested that ridiculous method only to buy time and to save Nie Shilei's life.
As he had anticipated, a member of the Imperial Family was now involved in the case. Consequently, Minister Yun Hanchi of the Ministry of Justice announced a suspension of the judgement for this case, intending to report it higher up.
