A female coroner arrived at the Jingzhao Prefecture.

Chapter 22 is truly a hidden gem!
The three-foot-square courtyard contained nothing but a corpse, a dagger without a sheath, and a pool of foul-smelling blood.

Upon inspection, no signs of fighting or struggle were found on the inner walls and bottom of the stone pit, and no signs of damage caused by violence were found on the outer perimeter of the top of the courtyard.

As for footprints or other vehicle tracks, since the discovery, there has been no evidence left to verify them due to the constant comings and goings of the constables.

After placing the body on the bamboo mat, the constables all gathered around the courtyard.

When Mu Qingcheng jumped down into the courtyard, it happened so suddenly that they didn't see her clearly. When she came up, they would definitely have to keep a close eye on her to see if she really knew how to use light-body skills.

After the inspection, Mu Qingcheng looked up and met a group of eager eyes. She couldn't help but smile. "What, trying to test me?"

After speaking, she leaped up from the bottom of the pit, flew over the heads of the crowd, and landed lightly behind them.

The entire set of movements was fluid and effortless!
Everyone turned around and looked at Mu Qingcheng, who was smiling and chatting. They felt that her bright appearance was even more dazzling and charming, as if she was radiating a light from the inside out that made people unable to look away.

Lin Shuban was distracted.

When Mu Qingcheng came to the Jingzhao Prefecture to participate in the coroner assessment, he was contemptuous. He believed that women should stay at home in the backyard, be good wives and mothers. Moreover, she was no less beautiful than noble ladies. Finding a suitable family to be a wife or becoming a concubine for a noble man would be the best way out. Why should she become a lowly coroner and ruin her future?

Therefore, since they started working together, he has paid close attention to Mu Qingcheng. She is low-key, humble, and composed. She treats people with gentlemanly manners, neither arrogant nor servile. She never pretends to be weak or asks for care because she is a woman, nor does she act like a big brother to men. She only focuses on doing her own thing and never deliberately shows off her talents.

Just like yesterday, she subtly demonstrated her detective skills beyond autopsies; and just like today, she naturally let everyone know that she is not only literate but also capable of martial arts.

"Coroner Mu, you've really been hiding your true abilities!"

"Besides light-footed skills, what else is Coroner Mu skilled in? Knife and sword techniques, or fist techniques?"

"Coroner Mu, how old were you when you started learning martial arts? How about we spar a bit sometime?" "No wonder the lord values ​​Coroner Mu so highly. A woman with such exceptional abilities as Coroner Mu is a rare find in this world! Our lord truly has excellent judgment!"

"That's all settled. We don't have to worry about Coroner Mu being bullied at General Ningyuan's residence!"

"..."

The constables were so excited that they kept talking, leaving Mu Qingcheng no chance to speak. Fortunately, she had no interest in gossiping.

She turned to Lin's office and asked, "Was everything recorded during the inspection just now?"

Lin, the clerk, immediately regained his composure, concealing his flustered thoughts, and replied, "It has been recorded."

"Attached is the investigation report: This courtyard was only a place where the body was dumped, not the primary crime scene."

"Yes."

Lin, the clerk, held a quill pen and wrote as he asked, "Coroner Mu, in summary, these two cases have something in common: both occurred at locations where bodies were dumped, and both left behind a single, identical dagger. So, should we combine these cases for investigation?"

Mu Qingcheng nodded. "The two cases must be related. After reporting to you, sir, please decide whether to merge them."

Looking at the dagger in her hand, Mu Qingcheng felt increasingly confused. Since this dagger was not a unique item, then in her limited memory, the fact that her mother collected daggers must be true!
