"Uncle Emperor!"

"Greetings to His Majesty the King of Cold."

Everyone saluted the visitor.

"No need to be so polite." Mo Yuche waved his hand, his eyes falling on Mu Yan calmly.

Mu Yan seemed to sense something and looked up at him. When their eyes met, he quickly dodged away.

At this time, Mo Xingchen stepped forward and asked, "I wonder why the emperor's uncle came here?"

"I have also heard about what happened today. Duke Qi is an important official of our Northern Qi and has made great contributions to our Northern Qi. I want to see who is so bold as to kill the young master of the Qi family."

Mo Xingchen was puzzled. He was the emperor's uncle who hated to join in the fun, so why was he in such an interesting mood today? He asked tentatively.

"He's just a murderer, but he could actually cause such a stir among the emperor's uncles."

But he didn't know that this sentence had inadvertently offended someone.

Mu Yan looked angry and quickly retorted, "Your Highness, the Prince of Wei, please be careful with your words. The case has not yet been finally judged. My brother is only a suspect, not the murderer you claim. As the presiding judge of this case, it is unfair for the Prince of Wei to say this."

Mo Xingchen's face flashed with embarrassment, and only then did he realize that he had said something wrong. He quickly showed an attitude of knowing his mistakes and being able to correct them, and being humble and elegant. "My princess is right. As the chief judge of this case, I should treat everyone equally and should not have preconceived ideas. Thank you for your reminder, my princess."

If it was Mu Yan from the previous life, she would definitely praise him highly, thinking that it was admirable that a prince could be so humble. But now that she knew his true face, she could only feel that he was hypocritical.

Mu Yan rolled her eyes in annoyance. Mo Yuche could sense Mu Yan's impatience, so he said, "Well, it's getting late. I'm going to go in and check on the suspect. I wonder if the princess is interested in joining us?"

"Alright."

Mu Yan smiled at him, thanking him for arriving in time.

The two of them turned around and walked towards the Dali Temple Prison tacitly. Seeing this, Mo Xingchen hurriedly followed them.

Mu Yan stopped and said, "King Wei is the chief judge, and I am the suspect's sister. If you go with me to see the suspect, it will damage your reputation if someone with ulterior motives sees you."

Mu Yan's words were obviously distant, implying that it was not appropriate for the two of us to go together, so you should stop.

There was an obvious trace of displeasure on Mo Xingchen's face, and he looked at Mu Yan's back angrily. This woman had not given him face time and time again. She was obviously ugly, but she put on such a high attitude. One day, he would trample this woman under his feet.

"Brother Zhao."

A familiar and gentle voice made Mu Zhao, who was squatting in the corner in frustration, raise his head. He quickly stood up and ran towards the woman, but an iron gate separated the brother and sister.

"Zhao'er, why are you so impulsive?" Mu Yan frowned, feeling very disappointed with him.

"Sis, who made him say such things about you in public? I couldn't stand it. I really couldn't stand it, so I fought with him. But I just pushed him, and I didn't expect that he would die." Tears welled up in Mu Zhao's eyes. He knew that he had caused trouble for his sister.

Mu Yan felt a pang in her heart, knowing that Mu Zhao had gotten into trouble just to protect her. She gently stroked Mu Zhao's chubby face, "Tell me, did you feel anything strange when you were fighting?"

Mu Zhao lowered his head and thought for a while. "No, I didn't feel anything unusual, but I really didn't kill him. I really just pushed him."

Died after just one push?

Mu Yan's face was solemn. Just a slight push and Young Master Qi died?

Young Master Qi is not made of clay, could it be that he has some hidden illness?

Mu Yan's thoughts raced and he shook his head, he really couldn't figure it out.

"Zhao'er, think carefully about it. Is there any detail you haven't noticed?"

"Sister, I did think about it, I really did, but I couldn't think of it." Mu Zhao scratched his head and plugged his ears, trying hard to recall what happened today.

Mo Yuche stepped forward and interrupted their conversation, "Okay, if you force him like this now, he definitely won't be able to figure it out. Wait until he feels better and thinks about it slowly, maybe he will come up with some clues."

She nodded. Indeed, being too anxious would only put invisible pressure on Mu Zhao.

At this moment, I think we should look for the reason from Young Master Qi.

"Zhao'er, think carefully and stay here. I will definitely rescue you."

"Don't worry, I have people in the Dali Temple Prison who will keep him safe."

Mu Yan met his eyes. There was a hint of gentleness in his deep eyes, which made her feel at ease.

"It's on fire!"

"Put out the fire, quickly!"

As soon as Mo Yuche and Mu Yan walked out of the door, they heard a noisy shouting coming from a distance.

"What happened?" Mu Yan frowned, her heart skipped a beat, and she had a bad feeling.

Several people followed the shouting and walked closer. Han Feng grabbed one of them in the panic and asked, "What happened?"

"The morgue is on fire. Oh, I won't tell you anymore. I have to go and put out the fire."

what?

The morgue is on fire?

Mo Yuche and Mu Yan looked at each other and both had a feeling that something was wrong.

The Dali Temple Prison and the mortuary are both inside the Dali Temple, not far from each other.

When several people arrived at the scene, they saw only raging flames and thick smoke surrounding the morgue.

"Oh, what's going on? Put out the fire, put out the fire!"

Dali Temple Minister Zhou Zheng slapped his thighs and stamped his feet to command people to put out the fire, but the fire was too big and there was a tendency to get out of control.

Mu Yan looked around and found that Mo Xingchen was nowhere to be seen. Shouldn't he have learned more about and handed over more information to Zhou Zheng since he had just taken over the case?

Zhou Zheng realized that Mo Yuche had arrived after his subordinates reminded him. He crawled over to pay his respects.

"Greetings to His Majesty the King of Cold."

King Han waved his hand and asked directly, "What is going on?"

Zhou Zheng replied, "I don't know what happened. The mortuary caught fire for some reason, and the cause of the fire has not yet been determined."

"Is the body of Young Master Qi also in there?"

A cold voice was heard.

Zhou Zheng had never met Mu Yan and didn't know who she was, but for Mo Yuche's sake he still spoke up, "Yes, the bodies of the unsolved cases will be placed in the Dali Temple mortuary, and the family members will be notified to take them away after the case is understood."

Zhou Zheng felt so miserable at this moment. The Duke of Qi was already furious with the sudden death of Young Master Qi. If anything happened to the corpse in his territory now, he might lose his official position. What was going on?

Mu Yan's face darkened.

really!

She guessed correctly that the fire was probably directed at Young Master Qi.

Since these people are so anxious to destroy the young master's body, he must have very important evidence on him.

She couldn't let anything happen to the young master, absolutely not.

She glanced at the raging fire in front of her and took a deep breath.
