Chapter 165 Don't Tell Him

In the next few days, Su Xing chatted with Zhang in the morning and stayed in the house in the afternoon.

He plans to write a book about autopsies.

This is what he is good at and what he likes. Only in this way can he stop thinking about Ye Linghan temporarily.

But after a few days, the Ministry of Justice suddenly received news: Marquis Mu Yuan and Xia Yunxi had escaped...

"Guard Tianyi!" Su Xing quickly recovered from his shock and said seriously, "Let's go to the Ministry of Justice."

After saying that, he walked out the door in a hurry without waiting for Tianyi's response.

Tianyi didn't object and followed immediately because he was also worried.

Liu Yan was investigating the situation. When he heard that Su Xing had arrived, he turned around to greet him.

Because it was he who sent someone to inform Su Xing, and he needed Su Xing's help.

"Mr. Su, I'm sorry to trouble you again." Liu Yan said awkwardly.

"You are too polite, Lord Liu." Su Xing bowed respectfully and asked solemnly, "What exactly happened?"

Liu Yan made a "please" gesture and said: "Mr. Su, let's talk while we walk."

Su Xing did not dare to delay and walked towards the prison.

"Based on the situation at the scene, it seems that someone with great martial arts skills attacked the prison at night." After a pause, Liu Yancai continued, his tone more serious: "They killed all the jailers and rescued Marquis Mu Yuan and the Queen Mother quietly."

Su Xing paused, looked at Liu Yan in disbelief, then suddenly quickened his pace and almost ran into the Ministry of Justice prison.

Even though he had just heard what Liu Yan had said, and saw the bodies scattered all over the prison floor, he was still so shocked he was speechless.

How could this happen...how did they do it?

He killed so many people and took two people away, but no one noticed!

Was this something that Marquis Mu Yuan had arranged long ago?

Or did the State of Yan send someone?

In an instant, too many guesses flooded Su Xing's mind, each one equally likely.

Liu Yan looked at Su Xing with expectant eyes. He knew that this was quite embarrassing.

But he really had no idea. Apart from asking Su Xing for help, he really didn't know what to do.

Su Xing took a deep breath and walked towards the nearest corpse.

He knew that just thinking was useless and he had to take action.

The fatal wound was in the throat, and he was killed with one blow.

No wonder the people outside didn’t hear the noise. He died before he could make a sound.

This was the case with every corpse, even the size of the wounds were the same. The murderer was either the same person or they were taught by the same master.

Su Xing couldn't help but think of the killers Wuxin had trained...

Those people were used by Marquis Mu Yuan, which meant that either Marquis Mu Yuan had arranged this matter long ago, or they came to rescue Marquis Mu Yuan on their own initiative.

But Su Xing prefers the former...

He was just waiting for Ye Linghan to go into battle before sending someone to rescue him!

Su Xing immediately told Liu Yan about the situation, and Liu Yan immediately became anxious: "I will send someone to report to the Regent right away."

"Wait a minute!" Su Xing hurriedly stopped him: "The Regent is fighting a war, we can't be distracted!"

Liu Yan paused, but still insisted: "But this matter is of great importance. If I don't report it immediately, I'm afraid something serious will happen."

Su Xing looked conflicted. He was silent for a moment, then said firmly, "Even if the Regent knew, he can't come back immediately. We should investigate it. In this case, it's meaningless to tell the Regent. It will affect his fighting."

"This..." Liu Yan was very hesitant and didn't dare to make this decision.

"I agree with Master Su's suggestion." Tianyi suddenly said, "Even if we have to report it to the Regent, we must at least find some clues, otherwise the Regent will still blame us!"

Hearing this, Liu Yan stopped objecting, but he was still worried: "Marquis Mu Yuan is a cunning man. Let alone catching him, it would be difficult to even find clues."

Su Xing knew this too. He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then suddenly walked to the corpse again to check it.

His previous experience in investigating cases told him that when he had no clues, he should do his best to the best of his ability, and maybe he would find clues.

Liu Yan and Tian Yi didn't know why Su Xing was performing another autopsy, but seeing how focused he was, they didn't want to disturb him, so they just waited patiently by the side.

An hour passed and Su Xing was still busy. His attention was completely on the corpse and he didn't even raise his head.

Liu Yan couldn't wait any longer and hesitated whether to interrupt Su Xing. At this moment, he suddenly heard a cry of surprise: "There is a clue!"

Tianyi rushed to Su Xing like an arrow and asked, "What clues?"

Su Xing turned around and raised his hand: "I found this!"

His first autopsy only confirmed the wounds on each person's neck and did not carefully examine other parts of the body.

When we re-examined it just now, we followed the autopsy procedure.

He found that the jailer's fist was clenched tightly. It took him a lot of effort to pry it open, and there was something inside!

"This is..." Tian guessed as he looked at it: "A pendant carved out of wood?"

He wasn't sure either, because the shape was too vague.

"It should be." Su Xing nodded.

Liu Yan also came over: "Mr. Su, what is this clue?"

It's just a piece of wood, how can it be considered a clue?

"The surface of this object is very smooth, which means it was often held in the hand and touched. There is a hole on the top, but it is cracked, so it must have been worn with a rope." Su Xing deduced slowly: "I suspect this is the killer's thing, and it should have been hanging around his neck. The jailer happened to grab it and tore it off when he was killed."

Liu Yan agreed with Su Xing's speculation, but still didn't understand what the point was: "But... this alone won't help us find the murderer."

Tianyi took over the conversation and said, "This thing must be very precious to its owner, and he might come looking for it."

Liu Yan suddenly realized that as long as he found the owner of this thing, he could follow the clues to find the whereabouts of Mu Yuanhou!

"I understand!" Liu Yan couldn't help but get excited, but the next moment he frowned again: "The Ministry of Justice will definitely double the martial law after such a big incident. What if he doesn't dare to come?"

Su Xing had already thought of a countermeasure and immediately replied: "We will transport all the bodies to the charity cemetery. He will not dare to come to the Ministry of Justice rashly, and will definitely go to the charity cemetery first to look for them."

"This is a good idea!" Liu Yan's eyes lit up, and he immediately ordered: "Come here, send all the bodies to the charity cemetery!"

"Mr. Su, it's all thanks to you!" Liu Yan hurriedly thanked Su Xing again.

"Lord Liu, you are too polite. This is what I should do." Su Xing said as he stood up, but fell down again halfway because his legs were numb.

"Young Master Su!" Fortunately, Tianyi was quick and grabbed Su Xing and held him steadily.

Su Xing was also startled, and it took him a while to come back to his senses: "Thank you, Guard Tianyi."

"Mr. Su, you should go back and have a rest." Tianyi was afraid that Su Xing was too tired. After all, Su Xing's body had not fully recovered yet.

Su Xing refused directly: "I'm fine, let's go directly to the charity cemetery."
