When Shen Qin arrived at the crime scene, she found that the place had been taken over by members of the Criminal Department.

The execution officer in red clothes blocked the door with a stern face.

"The impact of this case is huge. The Ministry of Criminal Justice has been involved in the investigation. All unrelated persons should evacuate as soon as possible."

How could the Ministry of Punishment get involved in such a private smuggling case?

Shen Qin could only investigate outside.

Zhao Tian's house is a two-story building, and it has now been burned into a mess.

It's strange how a man who makes a living by weaving baskets can afford to buy a small building.

Shen Qin walked around behind the small building again, and unexpectedly met Si Cheng of Dali Temple who had been "kicked out".

Because of Master Mu's relationship, the two of them knew each other.

Shen Qin submitted his handwritten "autopsy report" to him.

Si Cheng sighed after reading it.

"The case of the corpse hidden in the attic is really interesting. Strange cases have been happening in this imperial city recently. I heard that Kaifeng Mansion also received a report from the public, which is also very strange."

Shen Qin became interested.

"tell me the story?"

Si Cheng preached.

"It's a case of tomb robbery. You said that in this winter, someone actually went to dig up the grave, and even if the ground was freezing, they turned over the remains in a mess. You think he was crazy because of poverty, but he didn't take anything."

Shen Qin felt a circle of crows flying above his head, and could only smile awkwardly.

"Maybe it's just his personal hobby."

Si Cheng complained, "I'm afraid I'll go crazy if I get it or lose it."

Shen Qin: "..."

After that, Shen Qin began to observe the outer walls of the house.

This wall is made of stone bricks and is about eight feet high. It's really strange. What does a basket weaver do with such a high wall?

But the wall had been burnt black, and no strong clues could be seen.

He began to examine the ground around the wall again.

After the fire, some logs were piled near the base of the wall. Now they have been burned to black charcoal, and ashes are flying everywhere.

Shen Qin gently pushed aside the ashes with his hands, cleaning them bit by bit, and finally found two round holes on the ground that were neither deep nor shallow.

Each round hole is about the size of a fist.

Si Cheng behind him asked in surprise, "This is this?"

Shen Qin did not answer, but glanced elsewhere, and then picked up an inconspicuous stone brick fragment from the corner of the wall.

He looked up at the stone bricks on the top of the wall, and there was a gap on one of them.

He held up the fragment and compared it with the gap in the light, and it almost matched.

"It seems to Shen that someone once used a ladder to enter the courtyard. When climbing over the wall, he accidentally pulled off a cracked stone brick."

Si Cheng's eyes lit up,

"So Doctor Shen means that there is a third party who committed the crime?"

Shen Qin sighed,

"This is just a guess. It's a pity that we can't enter the hospital for verification."

Si Cheng sighed,

"There's nothing we can do about it. The Ministry of Punishment originally has more power than Dali Temple, not to mention the prince's support behind it."

That night Shen Qin returned home a little depressed, moved a round stool, propped up her chin, and stared at the unknown female corpse in a daze.

It was so burnt that it was so black that it was impossible to see its appearance at all.

"Dr. Shen, have you fallen in love with her? You've been staring at her for almost half an hour..."

Shen Qin looked at Chen Yugui reproachfully.

Chen Yugui quickly changed his words.

"No, it's time for half a stick of incense. I really didn't expect you to have such strong tastes. You didn't take a look at the beautiful princess, and you didn't blink at the burnt female corpse. How about a ghost marriage for you two?"

Shen Qin took out the silver needle from his sleeve, fiddled with it in his hand, and smiled at Chen Yugui with a cold look.

"General Chen, didn't the emperor ask you to prepare for the martial arts competition? How about Shen practice with you now?"

Chen Yugui waved his hands with a flattering look on his face.

"Okay, okay, just kidding, don't take it seriously."

Shen Qin sighed,

"Shen is just a little worried. If this matter is really completely taken over by the Ministry of Punishment, we won't be able to keep this body for long."

Chen Yugui doesn't care about Tao.

"Then let them move it away. You have to keep a black female corpse in your house all day long. If you don't mind coaxing me, I still can't bear it. There are specialties in the art, so don't you think so."

"But Shen has a hunch that this case is not that simple."

As Shen Qin spoke, he touched the gold bracelet on the wrist of the female corpse.

A lotus flower is engraved on the bracelet.

"It seems that this woman is from a wealthy family, but this bracelet is very ordinary. Trying to find out her identity is like looking for a needle in a haystack."

Shen Qin's eyes were bright as he pierced the silver needle deeply into the burnt flesh of the female corpse's face.

"Maybe... there is a way."

Chen Yugui was shocked.

"Uh, Dr. Shen, you are so crazy that you still gave her acupuncture!"

Suddenly a terrible thought came to his mind and he jumped back in fright.

"Oh my God, you can't still trick her into posing as a corpse! I know you have great medical skills, please forgive me!"

Shen Qin smiled, his eyes shining with wisdom.

"General Chen, is there any way you can make a copy of her skull?"
