One month ago.

Si Ying was on duty in the early morning. As soon as she arrived at the gate of Dali Temple, she ran into her younger sister Si Yue, whom she hadn't seen for several years. She was standing there with a bag on her back and a bright smile on her face.

Si Ying had been busy with official duties for too long, and only then did she know that her younger sister had passed the provincial examination in her hometown. She was extremely lucky, and in the year she passed the examination there was a vacancy in the court, so she was sent to the Dali Temple.

My younger sister is quiet and gentle in nature. She works as a clerk in the Dali Temple. It's a stable life, which is good enough for her.

But Si Yue said that she was sent to the case handling department.

Si Ying was shocked at the time. The Case Investigation Department was responsible for the initial dispatch of cases and the organization of clues. They often had to visit the crime scene in person to grasp the important details of the autopsy process.

But Si Yue had always been scared to tears when she saw a chicken being killed since she was a child, so how could she possibly experience that kind of scene?

Si Ying immediately contacted the relevant person to inquire whether Si Yue could be transferred to another position.

It was then that the official in charge of the case knew that Si Yue was the sister of Si Tixing, and thought she was also a good hand at autopsy and case solving. It happened that the case handling department was in urgent need of staff recently, so she was sent over.

The official also had good intentions. After all, the current Supreme Court Minister Chang loved to investigate cases personally. Si Yue was working in the Case Management Department, working under the supervision of the Minister, so he naturally had more opportunities for promotion than others.

Si Ying didn't expect such a big mistake to happen. When she asked again, the other party said that Si Yue's appointment file had been sent to the Ministry of Personnel and could not be changed. This was the only way.

This incident almost worried Si Ying to death.

There is nothing wrong with my sister, she is just timid, soft-hearted, and overly emotional.

When they were young, whenever the harvest in their village was good, there would always be lazy people from the neighboring village who came to steal food. When they were caught, they would act pitiful, and the villagers were used to it.

Only Si Yue would cry when she heard those stories, but not every time, and even she herself could not explain why.

Sometimes the other person would cry while talking, and she would cry too. Even when the other person couldn't cry anymore, she would still cry, and even go out of her house to get food to give to the other person.

Fortunately, the Si family was relatively wealthy, and her parents couldn't bear to dampen their child's kindness, so they let her go.

Si Yue had never seen the evil nature of human nature in her life.

Si Ying was at a loss, but Si Yue, a young and brave woman, was not afraid of tigers. She said that there are top talents in all 360 professions, and she would surely be able to make a name for herself in the Dali Temple.

Not long after, a murder occurred in the capital. The victim was a fifth-rank official, and his death was quite tragic.

Chang Yunxiao performed the autopsy himself and asked Si Yue to fill in the body box. This was Si Yue's first mission, and she was full of confidence and ambition.

As a result, as soon as Chang Yunxiao cut open the deceased's abdominal cavity, Si Yue couldn't help vomiting and almost vomited on the corpse.

Si Ying still remembered that Lord Temple Minister's face suddenly darkened, looking scarier than a corpse.

As expected, Si Yue was kicked out on the spot and was not allowed to set foot in the autopsy site again.

Si Yue didn't cry, but she was very depressed.

Soon the family of the deceased heard the news and rushed over. They thought that Si Ying should come forward to explain the situation, but because the deceased was an official, the family refused to listen to Si Ying and insisted on seeing the Minister of the Temple.

Si Ying couldn't persuade her, so she could only ask Chang Yunxiao to step in.

As expected, Chang Yunxiao described the death of the deceased in an extremely calm and objective tone, such as how the skull was shattered and the extent of the fragmentation.

The deceased's wife fainted upon hearing the news, his parents burst into tears, and his younger brother trembled.

Seeing their reaction, Chang Yunxiao couldn't say anything more and could only let Si Ying take them outside to wait.

Si Yue, who was kicked out, was squatting there, staring at the ground in a daze.

Hearing the cries of the deceased's family, the kind-hearted Si Yue stepped forward to comfort them. Listening to Su Xing and the deceased's wife narrating about their family's happy life, Si Yue couldn't help crying.

It's so sad.

When I got home in the evening, Si Yue was still crying. Si Ying was not surprised and just comforted her with a few words, feeling a little tired.

This case is so complicated and confusing that even the Lord Temple Minister finds it difficult to handle.

The murderer is extremely cunning and so far even the murder weapon has not been found, let alone the murderer has been identified.

The case is at a loss as to how to proceed. Si Ying will have to visit and search for clues every day, so she plans to rest early.

Si Yue was still sobbing, wiping her tears and said:

"Sister...you guys check on that little brother...when he cries...I don't feel sad at all..."

Si Ying was half-believing and half-doubting, but she still went to the vicinity of the brother's house in the middle of the night. Sure enough, she ran into him sneaking in from outside, holding a Dali Temple in his hand, searching hard for the murder weapon.
