'Which of the two murder cases should I investigate?'
Seeing that Magistrate Liu was lost in thought, Ji Yunshu tightened her grip on the sandalwood box and narrowed her eyes.
"Milord, Miss Zhou will be buried in four hours. If you want to investigate again, you will have to dig up the coffin. The longer the case is delayed, the more troublesome it will be. Milord should understand this."
Magistrate Liu rubbed his hands and clicked his tongue a few times. He frowned and said, "Of course I understand, but …"
"But what?"
"There are people waiting for you in the yamen! How about you go to the yamen first, then I'll go with you to the Zhou Family? We will definitely be able to arrive before Miss Zhou's burial. "
Magistrate Liu looked at her inquisitively. His heart was filled with apprehension.
Ji Yunshu raised her eyebrows and asked, "Did someone die in the yamen?"
"No, no. Someone is looking for you. It's the young master who came to the eastern suburbs with your father yesterday. He came to the yamen early this morning."
"Oh? Have the coroner finished examining the five corpses? "
"Don't waste time, my good Yunshu. Hurry and follow me back to the yamen. We will deal with the Zhou Family's matter later."
Without giving Ji Yunshu a chance to speak, Magistrate Liu dragged Ji Yunshu and rushed to the yamen in a flurry.
At this time, Jing Rong had already finished his cup of tea. He looked up and saw Magistrate Liu dragging Ji Yunshu over.
Magistrate Liu was gasping for breath when he arrived.
Ji Yunshu, on the other hand, was not panting. She stood upright and looked at Jing Rong, who was sitting on the pear blossom chair.
Compared to yesterday, when she saw him in the dark, he looked somewhat different.
His sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes were clearly peach blossom eyes. His cold, arrogant, and sinister face also had a hint of playfulness.
Their eyes met, and Jing Rong also examined her from head to toe.
Her fair and clean face seemed to have become rosier. He didn't know whether it was because she ran too fast or because of the wind. Her deep eyes also seemed more spirited.
But …
Why did she look at him with such disdain?!
Magistrate Liu hurriedly bowed. "Prince Rong, this lowly official has brought the person to you."
'Prince Rong?' Ji Yunshu was stunned.
Sure enough, the person who could make her jackal-like father wag his tail and beg for pity was definitely not a small fry!
Suddenly, Magistrate Liu tugged at the corner of her robe, hinting for her to quickly salute and not offend this Buddha.
Ji Yunshu was clever and tactful. She bowed and indifferently said, "This lowly one greets Prince Rong."
Jing Rong's eyes darkened. He waved his hand, indicating for Magistrate Liu to retreat to the side. Then, he asked Ji Yunshu, "Teacher Ji, have you eaten your fill today?"
"I ate quite well!"
"Did you sleep well last night?"
"I didn't sleep at all last night."
"Why?"
She had been kneeling for a whole night, so of course she did not sleep well. This was really touching her sore spot!
Ji Yunshu frowned and asked, "Prince Rong lives by the sea?"
What a busybody!
Fortunately, Jing Rong did not understand what she was saying. Instead, he tried to analyze her words in a serious manner. "This Prince lives in the capital. Prince Rong's estate is not near the sea. Could it be that Teacher Ji slept too long today and became muddled?"
You're the one who's muddle-headed! Your whole family is muddle-headed!
Ji Yunshu raised her eyelids. "Your Highness didn't summon this humble one just to ask about my daily life, right?"
"Of course not." Jing Rong straightened his face and went straight to the point. "The coroner examined the corpse and found that it was indeed poisoned to death. The conclusion was the same as what Teacher said."
Ji Yunshu was not surprised. She asked, "So?"
"Therefore, this Prince would like to invite you to the morgue and help this Prince take a closer look to see if you can find anything else!"
"Has the body been cut open?"
"I can even see his intestines!"
"Can you see the bones?"
"It's clear. That's why This King is concerned about whether Mister has eaten his fill, in case he has a reaction when he sees the corpse."
Was his reaction because he was afraid that she would vomit?
What had she, Ji Yunshu, not to mention dissected corpses that were dripping with blood, she had even come across corpses that were so rotten that they were crawling with worms.
She looked at Magistrate Liu and asked, "Between the two cases, which one should we handle first?"
One was Miss Zhou's case, the other was Prince Rong's case.
Which one should I do first? Isn't this making things difficult for Magistrate Liu?
Jing Rong pondered. "There are other cases?"
Magistrate Liu hastily replied, "Prince Rong, there was a murder case in our city the day before yesterday. It was a young miss from a wealthy family. She is about to be buried. If we don't investigate now, I'm afraid it will be too late."
Jing Rong's expression became solemn as he said to Ji Yunshu, "This Prince's matter isn't urgent. First, finish the case in your hands. Then, you can earnestly help this Prince with this matter so that you won't be distracted."
