Once I enter the pass, great Confucian scholars will surely debate the classics for me.

The Millennium Dragon Banquet is about to be held, seven days to go, at 1:15 AM.

Holding fourteen autopsy reports, Ye Tingxiu strode into the main hall of the Plum Blossom Bureau. He quickly looked around and saw Zhou Qingfeng sitting in the main seat, with one report after another in front of him awaiting review and approval.

So Ye Tingxiu kept quiet, found a seat, and waited quietly for Zhou Qingfeng to finish his official duties.

Zhou Qingfeng wasn't truly bored and had nothing to do all day. As the top leader of the Plum Blossom Division, the deputy commander of the Censorate, and the current supervisor of public security, the daily work summaries compiled by the heads of various departments of the Censorate were all sent to him for review.

Some reports involving specific plans still require Zhou Qingfeng's personal approval. If the plan is approved and feasible, but a major accident occurs during its implementation, will the City Lord's Mansion really hold those responsible accountable at each level?

The answer is obvious: no! The City Lord's Mansion will only hold Zhou Qingfeng accountable, because Zhou Qingfeng is now the Superintendent of Public Security, in charge of all departments of the Censorate. He has to bear the main responsibility that he cannot shirk, so it is really difficult for him to sign.

In the morning, Zhou Qingfeng read through more than ten reports and was basically aware of the current stage of the assigned tasks.

If you do well, I'll give you a compliment like, "You're great! Keep it up, I believe in you!"

If you don't do well, the official will write, "You're really terrible. Even a dog would be better than you. You might as well take off your official robes and go home to take care of your kids."

Those who do mediocre work will only get a 'read' rating.

As for reports involving specific plans, they will be reviewed and set aside until I have personally investigated them before deciding whether to approve them.

Rubbing his eyes, Zhou Qingfeng stood up, stretched, and said, "Have you been waiting long?"

"Not long, waited for a quarter of an hour." Ye Tingxiu sat on a chair on the side of the main hall. As he spoke, he got up and picked up a stack of autopsy reports from the small table next to him. Then he got up and walked to the main seat, handing the report to Zhou Qingfeng across the desk: "This is the autopsy report issued by Ren Wuji."

Zhou Qingfeng took the fourteen autopsy reports, casually flipped open one to look at it, and said, "Where is Ren Wuji?"

Ye Tingxiu said, "He's still eating and resting in the side hall. He should have finished eating by now. I'll call him over now."

Zhou Qingfeng nodded slightly and continued to review the autopsy report. Seeing this, Ye Tingxiu turned around and strode away, running to the side hall to call Ren Wuji. A short while later, Ren Wuji arrived wearing an autopsy suit, his clothes covered in blood, looking no different from a demon.

Ren Wuji clasped his hands in a salute: "Ren Wuji, the head of the cremation department, has come to report on my mission and greets Your Excellency the Commander."

Zhou Qingfeng glanced at him, then continued to casually flip through the autopsy report: "Thank you for your hard work, Ren. Let's cut to the chase. Did the autopsy reveal anything new? Have you confirmed the origins of Li Xiangsi and her group? Keep it brief and get to the important points."

Upon hearing this, Ren Wuji bowed and replied, "Li Xiangsi and her group are from Maine, one of the five northern cities."

Zhou Qingfeng said, "Is it over?"

Ren Wuji said, "It's over. Didn't the Admiral tell me to keep it short and get to the important points?"

Zhou Qingfeng frowned slightly: "What is the basis for this? Is there any evidence? Please explain in detail."

Ren Wuji: "Yes, the people of Maine like to chew tobacco. Whether they are sick or not, mortals or cultivators, they all chew tobacco. Their jawbones are wider than normal, and their teeth will also have tobacco residue from smoking. One person is just a coincidence, but fourteen people are like this, which proves that there is a 70% probability that they are from Maine. This is the result I obtained by examining the corpses using the method of corroborating evidence. It cannot be wrong."

Zhou Qingfeng raised an eyebrow, realizing he was indeed rather ignorant: "The method of using remnants as evidence?"

Ren Wuji nodded slightly and said, "These are the five methods of autopsy that I created by combining the knowledge of my predecessors. These five methods can be used to trace the origins of the body."

"First, trace the origin of the magic; second, trace the origin of the blood oath."

"Thirdly, memory search and soul retrieval; fourthly, physical phenomenon deduction."

"Fifth, the evidence is corroborated by the remains. The other four methods failed to verify it because the bodies, souls, memories, and consciousness of these people have been protected by countermeasures and anti-peeping restrictions. To break through them, one must know what kind of restrictions are in place, but I do not know, so I cannot break through them."

"However, this won't stump me, because I have a method of using strange objects as evidence to trace the origin. This method doesn't require any supernatural powers or magic; it only tests one's understanding of human corpses and the breadth of one's knowledge. It involves judging by the traces of life left on the corpse..."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qingfeng raised his hand to stop him, saying, "There's no need to go into such detail."

Ren Wuji immediately shut up, silently clasped his hands and bowed his head.

Zhou Qingfeng pondered for a moment, then handed the fourteen autopsy reports to Ye Tingxiu, saying, "Immediately send this autopsy report from the crematorium to Protector Xiao for review. Inform Protector Xiao that Di Xinjian may be a spy sent by Maine City, and do not be careless."

Ye Tingxiu stepped forward quickly and took the autopsy report with both hands: "I will obey the Admiral's orders."

With outsiders present, Ye Tingxiu couldn't keep calling him "Old Zhou" all the time. Although the two had a good relationship, they still had to be mindful of the impact and know what to say in different situations. He understood that in private, it was fine to call him whatever he wanted, but when outsiders were present for official business, it was better to address him by his official title.

Ye Tingxiu left in a hurry, leaving Ren Wuji and Zhou Qingfeng alone to face each other.

Ren Wuji clasped his hands and said, "Admiral, now that this matter is settled, I shall take my leave."

Zhou Qingfeng smiled slightly, stood up, and beckoned with his hand: "What's the rush? We're old acquaintances, why don't we have a cup of tea together?"

Ren Wuji looked down at his blood-stained body and said, "Admiral, I'm dirty."

Zhou Qingfeng waved his hand and pointed at Ren Wuji, saying, "No, that's not dirt, that's your merit. How could I despise someone who has made contributions?"

Ren Wuji was taken aback, then revealed a smile that looked even uglier than a dead man's: "Thank you for your praise, Admiral. I am covered in blood and it is really inconvenient for me to sit at the same table with you for tea. I hope you will not take offense. If you have any other orders, I will be at your service. Now, please allow me to take my leave again."

Seeing this, Zhou Qingfeng smiled slightly: "In that case, Lord Ren, please do as you please."

Ren Wuji nodded slightly, then turned and left the main hall of the Plum Blossom Division.

Seeing this, Zhou Qingfeng frowned in thought, walked slowly to the tea room with his hands behind his back, poured himself a cup of lychee black tea, took the tea to the window, watched Ren Wuji and the other four coroners leave together, took a sip of tea, and fell into a long period of contemplation.

For some reason, Zhou Qingfeng always felt that Ren Wuji was not simple. Combining his previous impressions of Ren Wuji, each meeting refreshed his understanding of this person. He wondered if Ren Wuji was hiding too much, which was why he was unwilling to have much contact with living people.
