Seeing that Liu Qingping was trying to scare her, Ji Yunshu held the Sandalwood Box tighter in her arms, her dazed eyes hooking onto it.

"Master, Miss Zhou will be buried in four more hours. If we want to investigate further, we'll have to pull up the coffin again. The longer we delay the case, the more trouble it will be to investigate it. This is something that the master should understand."

The county magistrate rubbed his hands together as he made several 'tsk' sounds. He knitted his brows and said bitterly, "Of course I understand, but …"

"But what?"

"There are still people waiting for you in the yamen!" Why don't you go to the yamen first, and then, after a while, I'll go to Zhou Family with you? "We can definitely make it in time for Miss Zhou's funeral."

The county magistrate looked at her with an inquiring gaze, his heart extremely perturbed.

Ji Yunshu raised her eyebrows and asked, "Could it be that people from the yamen have died as well?"

"No no, someone is looking for you. It's the young master who went with your father to the eastern suburbs. He came to the yamen this morning."

"Oh? Did you finish the autopsy of the five corpses? "

"Don't waste my time. My good Yun Shu, hurry back to the yamen with me. We'll deal with the Zhou Family later."

Without giving Ji Yunshu a chance to speak, the county magistrate dragged Ji Yunshu into the yamen in a hurry.

At this moment, Jing Rong had already finished tasting a cup of tea. He looked up and saw the county magistrate pulling Ji Yunshu over.

When he reached the front, the county magistrate was out of breath.

Ji Yunshu, on the other hand, was breathing heavily. She stood there straight and looked at Jing Rong, who was sitting on the pear blossom chair.

It was a little different from yesterday when he saw her in the dark.

Her sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes were obviously filled with peach blossom eyes. There was a trace of teasing on her cold and sinister face.

They looked at each other, and Jing Rong examined her from head to toe.

Her fair and white face seemed to have reddened even more. It was unknown if she was in a hurry to run away just now or if she was blown by the wind. Her pair of deep eyes also seemed to be more energetic.

But...

Why was there a hint of disdain when looking at him!

The county magistrate quickly bowed, "Prince Rong, this official has brought him for you."

Prince Rong? Ji Yunshu was stunned.

As expected, someone who could make her wolf-like father shake his tail in pity was truly not a small fry!

The corners of her clothes were suddenly tugged by the county magistrate's small movements, indicating that she should hurry up and pay her respects so as not to offend the Buddha.

Ji Yunshu obediently bowed and said lightly, "I have seen Prince Rong."

Jing Rong waved his hand, signaling the county magistrate to step aside. He turned to Ji Yunshu and asked, "Mr. Ji, have you eaten your fill today?"

"Well done!"

"Then did you sleep well yesterday?"

"I haven't slept all night."

"Why?"

She had knelt for the entire night, so of course she didn't sleep well.

Ji Yunshu frowned and asked, "Prince Rong lives by the sea?"

What a wide pipe!

Fortunately, Jing Rong didn't understand and began to seriously ponder over his words: "This King lives in the capital, the Wu Steel Manor, not near the sea. It's not like Mr. Ji has slept for too long today, have you lost your mind?"

You're the one who's confused, your whole family is confused!

Ji Yunshu lifted her eyelids, "Your highness has come looking for me. It can't be that you're just asking me for food, drink, and water, can it?"

"Of course not." Jing Rong straightened his expression and answered, "The coroner examined the corpse and confirmed that it was poisoned. All the conclusions are as you said."

Ji Yunshu was not surprised. "So?"

"So this king wants to ask Mister to go to the Morgue and help this king take a closer look to see if I can find anything else!"

"Did you cut the body open?"

"Your intestines can be seen!"

"Can you see the bones?"

"Everything is clear. That's why This King cares whether Teacher Ji has eaten his fill or not, in case he reacts when he sees the corpse."

Was he afraid that she would vomit?

It was really funny. She, Ji Yunshu, had never seen anything before. Not to mention dissected corpses that were covered in blood, she had even touched many corpses that were rotten to the point of crawling with zombies.

Ji Yunshu was silent for a moment before turning to the county magistrate. "Which of the two cases should we handle first?"

One was Miss Zhou's case and the other was Prince Rong's case.

Which one first? Wasn't this just making things difficult for the county magistrate?

Jing Rong thought: "There are other cases?"

The county magistrate hurriedly replied, "Prince Rong, the day before yesterday, there was a murder case in our city. It was the young lady of a large family and she's about to be buried. If we don't investigate it now, it'll be too late."

After thinking for a while, Jing Rong's expression became serious as he said to Ji Yunshu: "Don't worry about this. Finish the case in your hands first, and then seriously help this duke so that you won't be distracted."

Yo! What a good person!
