Li Wenzheng's body was kept under refrigeration by the Criminal Department, and was retrieved by the people from the Li family in Suzhou.

The Li family was the richest family in Suzhou, with industries all over the world. It was said that the rich could be the enemy of the country, and that the rich was the best.

Li Jiuhua had three sons under his knees. He took his youngest son Li Wenzheng, and sent him to Bishan Academy since he was a child. He worked hard to train him, and spent countless money to pave the way for his scientific research. Li Wenzheng was also upbeat, and he still had some real skills. Although he was not the best, Emperor Ming still approved the number one scholar in the Li's wealthy family.

Emperor Ming had his own reasons and consideration for this move. Dasheng has been fighting for years. The treasury was empty, and the surrounding three countries had been eyeing up. It took money to recruit troops, buy horses, make weapons, and prepare food and others. Therefore, he desperately needed the support of wealthy businessmen like the Li family.

But who would have thought that Li Wenzheng would be brutally murdered in such a situation? When Ming learned of this, he was furious. He started from the Long Case and quickly called several Humeral Ministers to discuss. The champion of the new division was stabbed to death on the spot under the public. If this spread out, he would be laughed at by other countries!

But Emperor Ming was most worried about Li Jiuhua's attitude.

If Li Wenzheng was killed before becoming the champion, perhaps Emperor Ming would not be so worried. However, he was stabbed to death after he approved him as the champion. The blow to Li Jiuhua was even greater, and his resentment to the court might be deeper. People were like this. Once you got it and then lost it, you already had hope and became desperate, your grievances would only worsen.

Now the only way to find the murderer as soon as possible, and find out the truth of the matter was to give the Li family an explanation.

Dong Runnian, the Shangshu of the Criminal Ministry, not only couldn't laugh, but also had the thought of sitting down and crying. Who was the one who killed the thousand knives that made people feel uncomfortable? In a few years, he plan on returning to his hometown and enjoy his family. But now that he had produced so many moths, could he retire happily?!

So when Lu Ziqing and Zhao Ling inspected the murderer in the morgue, Dong Runnian personally came to supervise the murder.

As soon as he approached the morgue, he perceived a strong smell of blood. He instantly frowned and felt a little sick. However, as an older generation with rich working experience and personal experience, he could bear it. Later, he saw a petite young man covered in a large lake-blue robe, with only two eyes exposed, facing a corpse on the bed with a laparotomy, examining the internal organs one by one.

Dong Runnian watched his gestures intently, crisply, confidently and calmly, and wiser than any other trick he had ever seen. Dong Runnian had been a prefect of too many places, he had been exposed to many works, and he had never encountered someone as outstanding as this young man.

When Lu Ziqing saw Dong Runnian, he saluted him and shouted, "My lord."

Dong Runnian nodded at him. Qin Niansheng, who was recording next to Zhao Ling, was about to salute and was stopped by Dong Runnian.

Zhao Ling also knew someone came in, but she didn't like to be distracted when she was working, so she didn't even lift her head. She was concentrating on examining the lungs of the deceased, and at the same time dictating her findings concisely so that Qin Niansheng could write it down.

The lungs of the deceased were slightly enlarged and the blood vessels were blocked. Like Du Yu, he suffered an acute pulmonary embolism and died of suffocation. The black substance was also found in the teeth of the deceased, more than that in the fake Du Yu's mouth. It should be because of the shorter time of death.

After the examination, she neatly sewed the incision and covered the deceased with a white cloth. She raised her head and saw a kind old man with a white face and beard. Looking at the official uniform he was wearing, it must be Dong Runnian, the Shangshu of the Criminal Ministry. She motioned to Qin Niansheng for help, took off the overalls, masks, and gloves outside, and then saluted Dong Runnian: "Caomin Moxin, I have seen Master Dong."

"Mo Xin, It turns out that you are really good." Dong Runnian nodded at him and asked, "What can you find?"

Zhao Ling replied calmly: "This person's cause of death was the same as that of the last deceased. He died of suffocation caused by pulmonary embolism. It is initially suspected that the cause was some kind of medicine in the deceased's mouth. Ways to check."

"My lord, the two deceased people both had poison in their mouths, and their subordinates suspected that they were dead men." Lu Ziqing added.

"Dead men?" Dong Runnian's two pale eyebrows frowned, "Then who appointed them and what is their purpose?"

Lu Ziqing couldn't answer, but glanced at Zhao Ling.

Zhao Ling suddenly remembered something and asked Qin Niansheng: "When I checked the surface of the corpse just now, did I find that the deceased had a circular tattoo on the upper left arm... well, an impression?"

It seems that there was no tattoo in this era, and she changed a word that they easily accept.

Qin Niansheng quickly replied: "Yes, the villain has an impression."

Zhao Ling said to Dong Runnian and Lu Ziqing: "Please, the two of you, come and take a look."

Qin Niansheng lifted the white cloth on the body again, and the two of them approached and looked closely. Sure enough, there was a circular tattoo on the upper left arm, with a curve in the middle, which divides the circle into two, similar to the Tai Chi pattern, except that the two halves were not divided into black and white. Two-color, the color of the tattoo was light, and at first glance it was no different from the flesh color.

When Dong Runnian saw this pattern clearly, he was shocked: "Wuji Promise Teaching!"

Lu Ziqing and Zhao Ling looked at each other, wondering what Promise Teaching was.

Dong Runnian's face turned ugly in an instant, and he asked, "Did the deceased also have this pattern on his body last time?"

Zhao Ling recalled and shook his head: "I didn't find it at that time. But the last time the deceased already died for two days before the autopsy. His body was already covered with corpse spots, and the impression may be covered by the corpse spots."

Lu Ziqing asked Qin Niansheng: "Qin Niansheng was the first person to examine the deceased, did you found anything like that?"

Qin Niansheng looked blank. After thinking about it for a long time, he finally shook his head, but he looked vacant.

Seeing his appearance, Lu Ziqing gave a cold snort as expected. Originally, he didn't have any hope for Qin Niansheng. If he could prove what was asked of him, Zhao Ling believed their would be a ghost!

Since the case had not been solved, the fake Du Yu's body was still kept in the cold storage of the Criminal Ministry.

Zhao Ling found the tattoo after another inspection, but the tattoo was not on the left arm, but on the right arm. Because it was just covered by a corpse spot, and the color of the tattoo was similar to the flesh color. There was no necessary equipment here to discover such a thing. The tool was not discovered in this world at the time. If the corpse had not been frozen for so many days, which changed the color of the corpse spots and the tattoo pattern became highlighted, it would have beeen really difficult to find.

"Sure enough, he is a person of Promise." Dong Runnian's face turned pale, and he left with Lu Ziqing.

Before leaving, Lu Ziqing politely nodded to Zhao Ling, and ordered Qin Niansheng to send him off. Since knowing Mo Xin's origin, Lu Ziqing has dispelled his doubts.

On the small identity paper that Meng Yuan's guard gave to Zhao Ling, it said her name was Mo Xin from Shandong Mo School. This school was well-known for its singular arts. There were many talented people in the school, and they all act mysteriously. It was no wonder that Mo Xin concealed his identity in the first place.

But what he didn't expect was that Mo Family had a good relationship with King Xuan, and it seemed that King Xuan's Mansion really should not be underestimated.
