Wu Heng paused and looked back at Gomez.

When everyone else had left, he asked, "Do you need something, steward?"

Gomez frowned at him, then asked, "Where were you last night?"

Wu Heng frowned, replying firmly, "At home. You're not suspecting me, are you?"

"What are your thoughts on this case?" Gomez continued.

"I don't have much experience in analyzing cases like this, I'm afraid I might mislead the correct investigation direction." Wu Heng responded candidly.

"Can you communicate with the dead?"

"I can!"

"Good, come with me."

The two of them entered another room, where a corpse covered in white cloth was placed on a bed nearby.

"Begin!" Gomez urged on.

Wu Heng nodded and summoned [Communicate with the dead].

The corpse jerked upright, staring our way.

Gomez looked at the corpse, asking directly, "Who killed you?"

The corpse answered, "A swarm of rats."

"Who controlled the swarm of rats?" Gomez continued.

The corpse seemed stunned, "I don't know."
