Twenty-Three's scalp tightened slightly. "Yes, at the time she wanted to take Bai Qiaoyin's body away, but Magistrate Du of Anping County said that Bai Qiaoyin's death was unclear and that it would be bad if she had contracted some kind of serious disease, so the body was cremated at that time."
Although it cannot be 100% certain, Twenty-Three felt that the death from illness was fake.
In other words, Baek Hye-eun was burned alive.
The thought made his palms feel warm and humid.
Twenty-three lowered his eyes to the ground, not daring to reveal his emotions.
"She brought this upon herself. It was bad enough that she hurt Fu Lingshu, but she actually killed someone in public in the county jail.

"What would I do with your life? I'm not the executioner." Lin Zixing poured a cup of sake. "Help me investigate someone."
“Du Shen, the magistrate of Anping County, go and investigate him again.”
He felt that he had been investigating in Anping County for so long that he had completely forgotten about this person.
It's truly a case of the blind being under the lamp.
