A female coroner arrived at the Jingzhao Prefecture.

Chapter 40 The master's eye for talent is first-rate.
"I never imagined that Coroner Mu not only knew how to perform autopsies, but also understood the merits of weapons!"

Officer Liu was the first to give a thumbs up. Mu Qingcheng's analysis reminded everyone present that they had only focused on the fact that the same murder weapon might have been forged by the same person, but they had not speculated from the details of the material. Unless it was a rare, hard-to-mine, and difficult-to-forge cold iron, mass production would not be difficult.

Mu Qingcheng smiled slightly, “Officer Liu, you flatter me. Studying the murder weapon, determining what it is and who made it, and providing investigators with a profile of the murderer is also part of the work of a coroner.”

Lin Shuban happened to be sitting opposite Mu Qingcheng. With a slight tilt of his head, he could take in every subtle expression of hers. Her talent was always displayed naturally, neither deliberate nor abrupt. She said the right thing at the right time, making people not only feel comfortable but also naturally admire her.

"Coroner Mu performed very well. As criminal investigators, we should aim to solve cases like gods. Therefore, we must not only read extensively, but also observe people, events, and objects with keen insight in order to unravel the mysteries of extraordinary cases."

Song Shuyu glanced sideways at Mu Qingcheng. As her gentle smile wafted into his heart, he unconsciously curved his lips into a smile as well. Just how many surprises did this girl have in store for him? The Emperor was right; his judgment was impeccable, and the person he chose was naturally one in a million.

Everyone immediately stood up, cupped their hands, and replied in unison, "What you say is very true, sir. We will take Mu Wu as our role model and strive to improve ourselves!"

They felt no resentment or jealousy at being outshone by the woman. As the elders had said, only incompetent men would try to glorify themselves by belittling women. A person's power, status, and wealth are all fleeting; only strength is the one thing that cannot be taken away by others.

"To prevent more people from being killed, everyone's leave is cancelled. Let's all go all out and try to catch the murderer as soon as possible, even before the seven-day deadline!"

"Yes!"

Song Shuyu then assigned the task, "Military Advisor of the Granary, the task of investigating the source of the dagger is assigned to you."

Solving this case is the top priority for the Jingzhao Prefecture, so Song Shuyu has drawn personnel from all ranks and departments to ensure sufficient manpower and provide all necessary assistance for solving the case.

"Coroner Mu, please continue."

"Based on the information currently available for both cases, I have listed several key points. First, the clothes worn on Li Mu's body did not belong to Li Mu, and a thumb-sized ink stain was found on the underside of the outer garment, which I speculate to be ink, but further confirmation is needed. Second, Liu Pei's fate remains a mystery. Third, the relationship between Li Mu and Liu Pei as father-in-law and son-in-law was strained. Fourth, Li Yunyao did not marry Liu Pei willingly, but was coerced by him. Fifth, someone disguised themselves as the father-in-law and drugged the monks Yuanbao and Yuanqing at Yuntai Temple to buy time to dispose of Li Yunyao's body. Sixth, Li Yunyao was in love with Liu Xiao, the second son of the Liu family, before her marriage."

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces lit up with gossip. Given such a complicated love triangle, could it be a crime of passion? No, the person who was killed was Li Mu, not Li Yunyao!

Mu Qingcheng spread out the autopsy files, pointed at them with his finger, and said in a deep voice, "Finally, here's what the two cases have in common. Both victims died from the same dagger, and the bodies were found at dumping sites, not the primary crime scene!"
