Soon, the two vice ministers of the Ministry of Justice learned the answer.
The person from the Dali Temple was Ding Zhiyuan, the Dali Temple Minister. As soon as he entered, he saw Hong Xiaoduo looking at the case files, and his eyes lit up as he went straight to her.
The two vice ministers, who were ignored when they greeted each other, looked at each other awkwardly. Then, seeing Lord Ding's attitude towards the young lady, they were even more curious. Who was this strangely dressed young lady?
How could she possibly evoke such feelings from both Prince Mu and the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review?
"Young Lady Hong, didn't you already leave the capital? What's going on?" Ding Zhiyuan asked with a smile.
The secret technique for identifying blood relatives that he witnessed at the Wei residence truly broadened his horizons. Moreover, he learned from Lord Wei that Nie Qing's case was overturned because of her righteous help.
Nie Qing's case not only uncovered a string of corrupt officials, but also cleared Nie Qing's name and allowed him to be appointed to a post. It is said that although he was a minor county magistrate of the seventh rank, he did a lot of practical things for the local people, leading them to reclaim wasteland, dig ditches to divert water, and build waterwheels to bring water up the mountain to irrigate the fields. The people saw hope and were full of energy.
All of this stemmed from the young woman's righteous assistance that day.
If she hadn't ignored Nie Qing's plea for help, if she hadn't found it troublesome to help Nie Qing's family go to Beijing to file a complaint, there wouldn't have been such a chain reaction that benefited the country and its people.
Therefore, Ding Zhiyuan was somewhat excited when he saw Hong Xiaoduo, but she ignored him and continued to stare blankly at the dossier in her hand.
Mu Rongjing also found it strange. She was a person who clearly distinguished between good and evil, but she would never be so rude to an upright official like Ding Zhiyuan.
At this moment, Hong Xiaoduo's consciousness was in the space. She had just read the coroner's autopsy record in the case file. The signs in the deceased's private parts indicated that he had been violated.
At that time, Hong Xiaoduo thought that in this case, some semen should be collected from the private parts and compared with the DNA of everyone who appeared in Mudan Garden that day.
Hong Xiaoduo suddenly thought of a question: are there any time restrictions for this kind of test? For example, will the length of time that semen stays in a woman's body have any different impact on the DNA test results?
She wasn't good at this kind of thing, but when she thought of this very important question, she immediately used her mind to enter her space, open her computer, and ask her friend.
As a result, the result given by the woman was like a bucket of cold water poured over her head: if the sperm had been in the woman's body for more than 48 hours, the DNA might not be detectable.
Although many answers have emerged on the forum, and some say that 48 hours is not entirely absolute, the deceased in Dong Yuefan's case has been deceased for four days now, which is two 48-hour periods.
Since this identification couldn't be done, the only option was to test whether the substance in the deceased's fingernails belonged to Dong Yuefan. If it didn't, that would be fine, but what if it did? Therefore, Hong Xiaoduo couldn't help but feel down.
After shutting down the computer and leaving the space, I was met with several puzzled faces; "Lord Ding? It's you, that's great."
Hong Xiaoduo was genuinely happy. Among the adults presiding over the trial, there were some she knew, even if they weren't very close, it was still better than strangers.
Her reaction relieved Ding Zhiyuan; she wasn't being too lazy to deal with this middle-aged man, but rather lost in thought.
"By the way, didn't you already leave the capital? Why are you back? Oh, I know, they asked you to come back to help with the case, right?" Ding Zhiyuan asked again, his gaze falling on the file in her hand as he guessed.
"Who? It certainly can't be our Ministry of Justice. How could we possibly ask such a young lady to help with the trial?" The case wasn't actually that difficult. The difficulty lay in the fact that the suspect was the son of Prime Minister Dong, so it was inappropriate to use severe torture on him. The two vice ministers glanced at Ding Zhiyuan and thought to themselves.
"It was I who invited her back," Murong Jing replied before Hong Xiaoduo could speak.
I was afraid she would blurt out that she returned because she had a good relationship with Dong Yuefan.
Although I know she is intelligent, I worry that she may not understand some taboos in officialdom, since she is planning to sneak into the palace and go directly to that person.
No sooner had he finished speaking than a commotion was heard outside. It was Yu Anzhong, the Right Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate, who had arrived, and the Minister of Justice was exchanging pleasantries with him.
After the two entered, their gazes fell on Hong Xiaoduo. The Left Vice Minister hurriedly stepped forward and whispered to his elder brother what he knew about the young lady. The Right Censor Yu Anzhong, who was standing nearby, also heard it clearly.
They had already heard about what happened on the day the Wei family recognized their grandson, and they also knew about 80-90% of the inside story of Lord Gu's experience. Considering that the palace had taken Empress Gao out of the Cold Palace, Minister Geng had a vague guess in his heart that the reason why His Majesty suddenly issued an edict ordering Prince Mu to assist in handling Dong Yuefan's case was actually because the main character was this young lady who knew the secret art of bloodline identification!
Otherwise, how could her hold the files of his Ministry of Justice?
Mu Rongjing also did not introduce Hong Xiaoduo, but the others present tacitly understood and did not ask any further questions.
"Everyone, please sit down and talk in my Ministry of Justice." Minister Geng said as he walked to the seat of honor and sat down. The others also took their seats. Although no one looked at Hong Xiaoduo, they were actually glancing at her out of the corner of their eyes. They saw her standing next to Mu Rongjing.
"His Majesty attaches great importance to this case. Everyone, please feel free to offer your opinions and suggestions. This case concerns the reputation of our Three Departments, and we must find out the truth as soon as possible," Minister Geng said after sitting down and seeing that no one spoke.
"Young Master Mu, do you two have any ideas?" Ding Zhiyuan immediately looked at the person diagonally opposite him and asked.
