The coroner and the concubine doctor pursue the murderer in the Dali Temple

When working as a forensic pathologist in her previous life, Chu Yunxi always kept in mind that the duty of a forensic pathologist is to speak for the dead and defend the rights of the living. With a scalpel in his hands and truth and justice in his heart, he allows the dead to "speak" and the truth will not be obliterated by death.

Now that I'm here, I'm back to my old job. Although one is called a forensic doctor and the other is called a coroner, they do the same thing and their responsibilities are naturally the same.

"Bai Yu, as long as there is justice and fairness here, there is nothing to be afraid of in this world. In fact, many times, human hearts are much scarier than corpses."

Chu Yunxi tapped her heart and smiled at Bai Yu, but there was a hint of bitterness in her smile. In her previous life, she treated people with sincerity and never put her on guard against her partners. However, she did not expect that the person she trusted the most would give her the most fatal blow.

The past was like a passing cloud, and Chu Yunxi didn't want to think about it anymore. Those things seemed to be very far away from her.

Bai Yu was touched by Chu Yunxi's words. He remembered that Marquis Zhongyong was framed and King Dingbei was seriously injured by a traitor and almost died. The human heart is indeed unpredictable. In comparison, the corpse is really nothing to be afraid of.

"Girl, I understand. As a human being, all you need to do is to have a clear conscience. As long as I have nothing to hide, I will not be afraid of ghosts knocking on my door. So why should I be afraid of these corpses?"

Chu Yunxi nodded and said with a smile: "The boy is teachable."

Bai Yu scratched his head embarrassedly, "Girl, I blamed you in my heart before, thinking that you always made things difficult for me. I apologize to you. I will definitely be your assistant in the future, redressing the grievances of the dead and seeking peace of mind for the living."

Chu Yunxi smoothed He Yunsen's clothes, took a long breath, and smiled, "Congratulations, Bai Yu, you have made another breakthrough."

And it is the most difficult psychological barrier. I believe that no matter what situation Bai Yu encounters in the future, he should be able to face it. All he needs is time and experience.

"Let's go and see the prince. I have some discoveries here and I need to report them to the prince." Chu Yunxi packed up her things, washed her hands, and went to Xiao Mubei's study with Bai Yu.

It was the Yin hour, the darkest moment before dawn. Another sleepless night was about to pass. The light in Xiao Mubei's study was still on. The warm yellow candlelight made people feel at ease when they saw it.

Chu Yunxi pushed the door open and walked in. She picked up the cup on the table and drank a glass of cold water in one breath. Xiao Mubei put down the file and said softly, "Drink slowly. There is hot water in the kettle. Don't always drink cold tea."

"It's okay, Your Highness. I have made some discoveries." Chu Yunxi couldn't wait to sit down in front of Xiao Mubei's desk, facing him. Baiyu and Heimu, who followed in, stood aside.

"That's great. I've also figured out some ideas. Let's discuss them together. Bai Yu records." Xiao Mubei moved away all the clutter in front of him and Chu Yunxi to facilitate a direct conversation between the two.

Chu Yunxi nodded, "Okay, I'll go first."

She took out the autopsy records and started with the assassins. "Among the bodies of the assassins, I found one who used a left-handed knife. The palm of his left hand was covered with calluses, which was caused by long-term knife-holding. And the ring was found in Gao Haoyu's hand. I believe Gao Haoyu pulled it off the murderer during the fight with the murderer. But I checked all the bodies of the killers and did not find any trace of wearing a ring on anyone's hand."

At this point, Xiao Mubei had already taken out the ring and held it in his hand, his eyes solemn, and said: "Don't forget, there is another one in the prison. This ring was taken from him by Gao Haoyu. When he saw that I had taken the ring, he knew that he could no longer hide it, so he confessed that they were the ones who did the Gao Mansion thing. Now I also know who the other party is."

Chu Yunxi's heart was shocked. Looking at Xiao Mubei's expression, she felt that this person might be someone important. Sure enough, Xiao Mubei said a name in a low voice the next moment, "It's my third brother, Jingyuan King Xiao Zirui."

The third prince?

Chu Yunxi searched the original owner's memory and remembered the things about King Jingyuan. King Jingyuan was different from King Dingbei Xiao Mubei. He was the Queen's legitimate son and the younger brother of the current Crown Prince. He grew up in the deep palace and was well versed in the conspiracies and intrigues of the imperial palace. He was an extremely gloomy person.

He was crowned king at the age of eighteen, and only then did he have his own residence outside the palace. Prince Jingyuan was extremely ambitious. On the surface, he was dependent on the prince, and in the name of working for the prince, he cleared out many loyal ministers and generals who refused to go along with him.

Unfortunately, the current crown prince is a loyal and kind-hearted person, and is too merciful, so he is manipulated by Prince Jingyuan without knowing it. The current emperor, Emperor Sui Ming, is incompetent, so Prince Jingyuan's power is growing in the court and the country, and he almost controls half of the court.

These were what the original owner had heard from Marquis Zhongyong and his brother. Marquis Zhongyong did not want to get involved in these court disputes, so he would rather guard the border, but this did not mean that he could not see the situation in the court clearly.

"Although I also expected that the third brother would attack me sooner or later, but I didn't expect that even after hiding at the border, he still refused to let me go." Xiao Mubei's eyes were deep, without anger, only heartache.

Throughout the dynasties, royal family infighting is nothing new. Xiao Mubei has no intention of that position, but others don't think so.

Chu Yunxi also felt helpless. "Perhaps your previous military exploits were becoming more and more prominent, which made him feel threatened. That's why he couldn't wait to take action while you were still weak and eliminate future troubles."

"But does he really have no brotherly love in his heart? I often played with him when I was a child, and he even saw me off at the city gate when I left for the army. Are all these things not as important as that position?"

Xiao Mubei clenched his fists tighter and tighter, his eyes gradually turned red. Although this result was not very surprising, it was still difficult for him to accept. If he once held a glimmer of hope for King Jingyuan, he was now completely disappointed.

It is an indisputable fact that King Jingyuan wants to kill him.

Chu Yunxi didn't know how to persuade him, so she asked, "You went to arrest He Yunsen after you knew that Prince Jingyuan was behind this."

Xiao Mubei nodded, "Yes, He Yunsen is obviously related to Nan Di. If we catch He Yunsen, we may be able to find evidence of the collusion between Third Brother and Nan Di. Third Brother must know this, so he silenced He Yunsen."

"I found this thing in He Yunsen's stomach." Chu Yunxi took out something in a transparent bag. She had purified it and it could be seen that it was half a piece of paper. The handwriting on it was blurred, but it was clear that there was writing on it.

"I think this is the reason why He Yunsen poisoned himself, He and Mo Yan to death." Chu Yunxi said slowly.
