A female coroner arrived at the Jingzhao Prefecture.

Chapter 21 The aftermath
This sudden incident terrified everyone.

Adults are generally prepared to faint at the sight of a corpse, but fainting on the ground is a completely different thing from fainting on a highly decomposed corpse!
Moreover, the courtyard is two zhang high; if you fall in, you'll either die or be crippled!

"grown ups!"

Jiang Zhan rushed over, tears welling up in his eyes, "My lord, wake up, wake up!"

Song Shuyu's tall and heavy body leaned entirely against Mu Qingcheng's chest, causing Mu Qingcheng to bend over under his weight. She couldn't help but feel annoyed: "Captain Jiang, what's the use of crying? Why don't you lend a hand!"

"I apologize, I lost my composure!"

Jiang Zhan felt awkward and quickly took Song Shuyu's hand, saying, "I'll take you to the clinic, sir. Thank you for your help, Coroner Mu."

"Wait."

Mu Qingcheng pried open Song Shuyu's mouth and took out the ginger to prevent him from choking on it when he woke up.

Jiang Zhan carried Song Shuyu away in a hurry.

The constables all knelt down, thanking Mu Qingcheng for his help. "Coroner Mu saved your life, which means he saved our lives. From now on, we will obey your orders without question!"

"You flatter us. We are colleagues, and it is our duty to protect you, sir." Mu Qingcheng said this, but in his heart he was also still scared. Song Shuyu was not an ordinary Prefect of the Capital. He was the eldest son of the Duke's Mansion and the Empress Dowager's nephew.

If anything happens to him, everyone here today will face certain death!

Thinking about it this way, I actually feel like I've survived a disaster.

Mu Qingcheng sighed and said, "Secretary Lin, let's begin. First, measure and record the distance between the corpse and the surrounding objects." "Yes!" Secretary Lin lowered his status and replied loudly.

The constables immediately followed suit, saying, "Please give your instructions, Coroner Mu!"

Seeing this, Mu Qingcheng didn't mince words and succinctly ordered: "First, prepare a bamboo mat that is two or three people wide; second, prepare clean water, at least a dozen buckets."

"Yes!"

The constables responded in unison, their voices deafening.

A surge of excitement welled up in Mu Qingcheng's heart. So this is what it feels like to win people's hearts and work together to achieve something!
After the measurement and recording work was completed, Mu Qingcheng took out a rope, put on gloves, and instructed everyone: "The body is too heavy, so we need to work together to pull it up. In order to avoid causing new damage to the body, everyone must be careful and not be rough."

After speaking, before anyone could react, she jumped into the courtyard!
"Coroner Mu!"

Everyone was shocked. When they saw that Mu Qingcheng was standing steadily next to the corpse, completely unharmed, their eyes widened!
Counselor Mu isn't just a young girl who only knows how to examine corpses; she can also perform light-body skills? She actually knows martial arts!
This realization is no less impactful than the shock of an adult fainting from a corpse!
Mu Qingcheng tied the ropes to the corpse's shoulders and knees, and then signaled everyone to pull upwards!

Unexpectedly, when this enormous creature was hoisted up, a dagger without a sheath was found lying in the pool of blood-red corpse water beneath it!

Mu Qingcheng's pupils contracted, and she quickly picked up the dagger to examine it.

Shockingly, the pattern on the hilt was exactly the same as the dagger Li Yunyao used to commit suicide!
Lin Shuban was also surprised, "Why is it a knife again?" He was too far away to see the hilt clearly, but the style looked familiar.

"Not just a knife, but twin knives."

Mu Qingcheng's expression was solemn. Li Mu's death, with the same knife, was enough to show that Li Yunyao's suicide was by no means a normal act!
