Mo Chen took a step back."Young lady, please stand up quickly. I was the one who was rude first. Why are you responsible for this? You've made me stand here in an extremely awkward position. If you really want to participate in the coroner qualification assessment, I can introduce you to someone. I wonder if young lady is interested?"

An Shuyao's eyes seemed to be filled with surprise. Having a recommendation would make things much more convenient. She did not decline and naturally thanked him."Thank you for the recommendation, Mo Shaoqing."

Only then did An Shuyao carefully observe his appearance. Mo Chen's appearance was really no different from that of a pale-faced scholar. He was fair and clean, so he was naturally likable. However, An Shuyao did not like this type of man. She felt that he was too gentle and beautiful.

An Shuyao couldn't think of anything else, but it didn't mean that Mo Chen didn't have any thoughts. Looking at the delicate and weak girl, Mo Chen didn't know how good her autopsy skills were. When he thought of Jing Boran's wooden face, he couldn't help but tremble. If he really recommended a woman to be a coroner, he didn't know if the Imperial Prince would mind.

Jing Boran was the famous Imperial Prince of the capital, the famous noble son of the capital. He was in charge of the Justice Pavilion, which was above the six departments, namely the Ministry of Personnel, Ministry of Revenue, Ministry of Rites, Ministry of War, Ministry of Justice, and Ministry of Works. He was in charge of all the criminal cases in the world, and his power was even more daunting.

Mo Chen thought of Zhou for a moment and finally made a decision."The Royal Prince is a person who thirsts for talent. Although you are a woman who came to take the coroner's examination, if you are really a capable person, the Prince of Yuan County will definitely keep you. Let's go."

Mo Chen brought An Shuyao to the entrance of the Justice Pavilion. The majestic and majestic words 'Justice Pavilion' entered his sight. The style of the words was unrestrained, and the surrounding pillars at the entrance were even more daunting.

An Shuyao couldn't help but feel timid as she stood at the door. The stone lion at the door was even more lifelike. It stared at the pedestrians with a pair of majestic and solemn eyes.

Mo Chen asked An Shuyao to wait outside the door while he swaggered in. At the door, the bailiffs cupped their fists and bowed to Mo Chen. Mo Chen walked in indifferently.

"Mo Shaoqing, don't walk at night. Remember to walk through the main entrance. The Prince of Yuan County has reminded you that if you do it again, the Prince of Yu County will be angry. We can't bear the responsibility."

Just as they arrived at the entrance of the Imperial Junwang's courtyard, a few people walked out and teased Mo Chen with a smile.

Mo Chen kicked her. It wasn't heavy and was obviously a joke."Go away, go away. Go away. How rude."

They quickly made way for Mo Chen to enter respectfully. However, their tone was not polite."Sure, Mo Shaoqing, please."

The few of them were clearly very familiar with each other. Mo Chen was not someone with a bad temper. He could withstand teasing, so they were naturally very familiar with each other.

Mo Chen pushed the door open and entered. A dart flew towards him and landed directly on the wood at the door. It pierced through the wood.

Mo Chen patted his frightened little chest. In a state of shock, he rushed to the elegantly dressed young master in front of the table and accused.

"Jing Boran, how dare you murder someone."

This saber was extremely sharp…

"Get someone to report next time."

The well-dressed young master was Jing Boran, the Royal Prince. He was the Emperor's youngest brother. He was even better at investigating suspects and settling cases. The officials in the capital were afraid that Jing Boran would find clues, so they were naturally careful and avoided him.

"When have I ever allowed anyone to notify me when I entered the Justice Pavilion? It's so troublesome to do so. I'm going to be bald after I go through a few procedures."

"Are you done with the case files?"

Mo Chen raised his eyebrows."Imperial Junwang, don't make things difficult for me. The work of the Supreme Court is as many as the hair on an ox. I'm about to finish handling the case of the Ministry of Justice. I haven't looked at this case file yet. I haven't slept for three consecutive days. Just now, I was stalking the streets and I met an interesting girl."

Jing Boran's gaze fell on Mo Chen, and he was interested.

Mo Chen saw that Jing Boran was interested and quickly said,"That girl is pretty and has a good temper. But guess what the little lady does for a living?"

"Coroner."

"How did you guess?"

"You have the smell of locust on you. It's something that coroners often use to cover up the bloodstains on their clothes during autopsy. Ordinary people don't use it often, so I can naturally guess it."

Mo Chen sniffed the clothes for a long time but couldn't smell anything, so he decided to give up. Mo Chen sat down in front of the table and poured himself a cup of tea. He said casually,"I naturally can't be compared to you, Imperial Prince. I'm just a minor official of the Supreme Court. I'm not like you, who is a first-grade Prince and a hundred officials in the court..."

Before he could finish his sentence, a file was thrown at his feet. He opened it with a heart full of doubts and couldn't help but be frightened. His hands couldn't help but tremble. His hands were so frightened that they didn't listen to him. The teacup on the table was overturned and tea spilled everywhere.

What a pity, it was a good porcelain bowl.

"Is it alright?"

"I'm not that timid. I'm just more surprised."

"This is already the fourth murder case in the capital. Each time, it was a single blow, and the way of death was different. The first murder case had a round polished stone next to it with the number '50' engraved on it. The second murder case was also a round stone with the number '49' engraved on it... It's shocking."

Mo Chen took a deep breath and held back his trembling hands. His tone was a little weak,"The first time, I felt that it was an accident. The second time, I was lucky. The third time... This, this is too ridiculous. If it's the same as what Your Highness guessed earlier, that's the countdown killing method. The four people who died didn't have any connection with each other. Phew ~ What should we do?"

Jing Boran was much calmer. He flipped through a document and didn't say anything.

Mo Chen took a long time to understand what Jing Boran meant.

Jing Boran's hint wasn't obvious. Mo Chen and Jing Boran had been in sync since they were young.

"Your Highness, do you want the female coroner to perform the autopsy?"

"Yes."

"She doesn't have a coroner's certificate."

"It's fine."

"This…"

For the first time, Mo Chen hesitated.

Mo Chen had seen An Shuyao's medical skills, but he had never seen her autopsy skills. This was definitely not a trivial matter. There was no fixed time, place, or way to die for the countdown method. Everything was clueless. Once the countdown was over, the people in the capital would know that there would definitely be a certain amount of chaos.

"It's inconvenient for a coroner to perform an autopsy in the yamen. We can't publicize this at this time."

Mo Chen instantly understood. An Shuyao was not a coroner from the yamen, but a woman. It was not inappropriate for her to follow Jing Boran, and no one would think otherwise.

"Then I'll…"

I'll let Zhou Ye follow you."

"Don't. I just provoked Zhou Ye a few days ago. He's very vengeful. He almost chopped me off with that big knife. If I really let him follow me, I'm afraid that his eyes will stare me out. It's not worth it."

"You stole his things again?"

Mo Chen was already used to his prince's foresight, so he naturally nodded repeatedly.

Mo Chen touched his chin and picked up the case file that made him tremble. In a moment of nervousness, Mo Chen actually threw this thing to the ground. Mo Chen couldn't help but reveal a look of disdain.

He still had to read the case file honestly. Suddenly, he frowned."I remember that only two of the four bodies are with us. The other two seem to have been burned to ashes when they were transported over. Could it be man-made?"

Zhou Ye knocked on the door and entered. Mo Chen couldn't help but shiver."Your Highness."

After cupping his fists, Zhou Ye stood in the corner and stared at Mo Chen without blinking.
