The Capital Inspection Office was unusually quiet today.
Even though there are many people in front of the gate.
All kinds of people stood silently at the gate of the inspection house.
There are green cards hanging around the waist.
When Jiang Wang went out today, he hung up his fourth grade green plaque next to the white jade gift from his sister.
The green card is slightly larger and the white jade is slightly smaller.
Stacked together, the blue and white colors are distinct.
Jiang Wang saw Lin Youxie wearing a green scarf at a glance.
Still wearing men's clothing, she stood alone in the corner of the crowd.
Some people tried to comfort her, but her face was expressionless and her eyes didn't even move.
More people silently kept their distance from her.
The four major Qingpai aristocratic families are certainly the history of the Qingpai system that cannot be erased, and they certainly made indelible contributions to the establishment and development of the Qingpai system.
But it eventually passed away.
Zooming into the entire history of Qingpai, the contributions of the four major Qingpai families deserve the respect of all Qingpai leaders. But within the Qingpai system, in the distribution of immediate interests, of course struggle is inevitable.
Why could Lin Youxie easily take the position of deputy inspection envoy? Of course, it is Yu Yin from the four major green brand families. Even if he doesn't have much real power, after all, he is already on the same level as Yang Wei in terms of rank.
The disintegration of the Qingpai Family objectively frees up more positions and gives more opportunities to others.
Therefore, from the days when Li Youyou was guilty of being beheaded to the death of Uriel today, for many people, it is hard to say whether they are happy or sad.
Lin Youxie just stood there, motionless.
She didn't see Jiang Wang, or in other words, she didn't look at anyone.
Uriel's death means that for the people in the Qingpai system, there is missing an iconic presence. This is the end of a legend in the Qingpai system.
Only for Lin Youxie, she lost her last relative.
Jiang Wang and Zheng Shangming walked into the crowd.
This is the crowd welcoming the coffin.
Of course Zheng Shi, the captain of Beiya, stood at the front, leading the entire Beiya without getting angry.
As soon as Jiang Wang walked over, the crowd moved silently, making way for the position next to Zheng Shi - this is now Beiya Li, where people default to where Jiang Wang should be.
Zheng Shangming, the son of Beiya Captain, could only stand behind them.
Jiang Wang reached that position, but did not stop, but continued to move forward.
He said: "Deputy Ambassador Lin, why don't you stand over?"
The crowd separated into a road. The starting point of this road was Jiang Wang and the end point was Lin Youxie.
Lin Youxie, who was dumbfounded, suddenly noticed something and turned his head.
I only saw Jiang Wang striding in and the hand stretched out.
She gave in subconsciously, but naturally she couldn't.
Jiang Wang had already grabbed her forearm and pulled her towards the front of the crowd.
Wherever you go, there is a road.
By the time she reacted, she was already standing at the forefront with Jiang Wang.
Zheng Shi did not express any opinion on this, and the crowd was also silent.
Jiang Wang's hand had been loosened, but Lin Youxie seemed to still be able to feel the force clamping on his arm.
The scene of him walking towards her through the crowd was imprinted in her trance.
Although her first reaction at the time was to avoid it, her eyes clearly remembered it... This was the only hand reaching out to her in the cold, crumbling world.
Uriel's body was sent back to Linzi as soon as it was discovered.
The cause of his death has not yet been determined.
Uriel has resigned from Qingpai, has no job and no status, and died overseas...
In what name can the Capital Inspection Office file a case? What qualifications do you have to investigate?
Even...who wants to check?
Uriel took off the green card, and while gaining freedom, he also lost his asylum.
To put it bluntly, he secretly investigated the famous Osawada family in Qi State, which was a way to die.
If Tian really wants to kill him, who can say anything?
Earlier, Tian Huanwen attacked Uriel overseas, and Uriel could only avoid the attack and fled back to Qi. I didn't see anyone from the Capital Inspection Office coming forward to do anything.
Of course, after all, Uriel is a famous catcher who left a mark in the history of Qingpai.
Just looking at how many people came to welcome the coffin today, you can see its weight.
If the murderer is really the Osawada family, it will inevitably arouse the hostility of the entire Qingpai system. Maybe we can't do anything directly for Uriel's death. There will be a long time to come, and some measures will inevitably be taken.
Thinking about it, the reason why Uriel was able to investigate the Osawada clan on his own for so many years without getting hurt was not only because of his own caution, but also because of the Osawada clan's rat-catching device.
All in all, for the Osawada family, killing Uriel without permission was something that would not have immediate serious consequences, but would definitely have far-reaching negative consequences. It doesn’t quite fit in with Osawada’s low-key strategy in recent years. (Excluding Tian Anping, the Osawada family has indeed kept a low profile in recent years.)
Therefore, it is not yet known who the murderer is, and it is not necessarily the Tian family.
So the question comes back again...who will check?
Jiang Wang stood silently in front of people, and suddenly remembered something, and asked Zheng Shangming through a message: "How long will it take Tian Anping to break the seal?"
Zheng Shangming hesitated and said: "He killed Liu Shentong in the forty-sixth year of Yuanfeng... Calculating it, it will only be ten years next year."
Apparently Mr. Zheng also had similar thoughts. Uriel was suddenly killed, and a generation of corpses were caught floating in the sea. This kind of disregarding style is too similar to that madman...
Jiang Wang breathed a sigh of relief.
He was not sure whether Tian Anping saw him last time in Qixing Valley. But such a dangerous person is always unsettling.
However, this uneasiness only passed slightly, and he immediately started practicing again.
When it comes time to face it...
He will face it.
A group of famous people in the Qingpai system were waiting silently in front of the gate of the inspection house.
This scene made several streets near Beiya very nervous. For a long time, not even the hawkers' cries were heard.
Zheng Shi, the captain of Beiya, couldn't help but glance at Jiang Wang next to him.
There were so many people present to greet the coffin, waiting with different moods.
There is anxiety, there is sadness, there is anger.
All in all suppressed.
Only the most dazzling young genius at the moment is actually practicing.
What others see is diligence, but what he sees is sobriety.
Keep yourself awake among the crowd.
Jiang Wang is obviously a person who has clear goals and knows what he wants.
Before, Zheng Shi was still puzzled as to why this young man refused the position of Captain of Bei Ya, but now he can understand a little bit more...
After all, the paths are different.
It was already late at night when Yang Weitong drove the carriage in person.
"I picked up Wu Lao at sea and asked for a thin coffin to be temporarily buried in Tianfu City. I went non-stop all the way..." This disciple of Yi Xingchen, the imperial court official, explained like this.
Zheng Shi just walked to the coffin in silence, gently pushed the coffin lid open, and looked down at the people in the coffin.
"Old Wu..." He sighed and said, "I'm home."
The inspection office was crowded with people.
Almost all the Qingpai head catchers have sad expressions on their faces.
Seriously speaking, who among those who have struggled in the Qingpai system for some years has not received guidance from Uriel?
Some people even couldn't help crying, and some cried silently.
Of course there are people who would like to see the building collapse.
There are also some who secretly swear that one day they will find out the truth and avenge Wu Lao.
But in this atmosphere of sadness, a calm voice sounded——
"I want an autopsy."
Among the crowd, Lin Youxie was the only one who remained expressionless.
Yang Weitong looked at her and said: "Of course an autopsy is required. There must be an explanation for Wu Lao's death. This is what we do, but..."
According to established rules, people close to the deceased are generally not allowed to perform autopsies. Because the mood swings are too big, it can easily lead to deviations in the results... At least you can't be the first to test, otherwise the results will not be objective and some clues will be destroyed.
Of course Lin Youxie knew the rules. But she just repeated: "I want an autopsy."
Her eyes were too firm and stubborn.
There were many people present who could be said to have watched her grow up. See how that little girl grew up to be what she is today.
She doesn't believe anyone in the entire Beiya now.
But who can not understand?
Yang Weitong was silent.
Zheng Shi sighed: "Let her test it."
Lin Youxie then walked closer, looked down at the body for a moment, then reached out to close the coffin lid.
There was still no expression on his face.
No sadness, no tears.
Jiang Wang silently walked forward, lifted the coffin, turned and walked towards Beiyali: "I'll help you."
Lin Youxie said nothing and just followed him silently.
The crowd made way for them.
The two of them took a coffin and headed to the morgue.
To go to the morgue, you have to pass through Beiya Prison. This is not the first time Jiang Wang has visited this road.
Carrying the coffin, he walked through the bare iron house.
Not long after, Zheng Shangming followed.
It is only natural that someone should watch during the autopsy.
Since Jiang Wang and Lin Youxie have the same position, a third person is definitely needed to supervise.
Zheng Shangming, who is responsible for the Feng Gu case together with them, is obviously the best choice.
The sense of proportion in this cannot be accurately grasped by someone other than Zheng Shi.
Even though the three of them are considered the backbone of the Qingpai system, the headman on duty at the morgue still carefully recorded the state of Uriel's body and asked the three of them to sign it before opening a separate room for them. Morgue.
Coincidentally, this morgue is exactly opposite the morgue where Jiang Wang came last time.
If it had not been locked, the doors on both sides would be wide open, and Feng Gu's coffin should be visible from here.
Jiang Wang glanced at the head catcher for a few times before putting down the coffin he was holding.
Speaking of which, the two corpses in the morgue died because of the same case. They all struggled from that time to now, and they died at the same time.
Feng Gu's coffin faced Uriel's coffin, as if there was some kind of tacit understanding.
After the headman from the morgue left, Zheng Shangming explained casually: "The rules are here. It's normal to be stricter. It's not directed at anyone. Brother Jiang, don't mind."
"What's there to mind?" Jiang Wang twitched his lips: "I'm just curious, if this place is so strict, how did that person get in last time?"
Zheng Shangming was silent for a moment and could only say: "The person who sneaked in last time is called Qi Song. He has an uncle named Qi Huaichang."
When he mentioned this matter before, he only mentioned it vaguely by the name of Yangxin Palace, without saying who it was specifically.
I didn't expect Jiang Wang to be so vindictive, so he asked questions when he found the opportunity.
Although he and Jiang Wang were on different paths and were destined not to become close friends, they did not want to ruin their existing friendship. In comparison, it was no big deal to throw out the news about Qi Song.
Qi Huaichang is also one of the deputy inspection envoys who holds real power. His status in Beiya is no lower than that of Yang Weitong. It is really simple to arrange for someone to be admitted to the morgue.
"Oh, Deputy Ambassador Qi!" Jiang Wang nodded, indicating that he understood, and stopped talking.
At this time, Lin Youxie had opened the coffin lid again, completely exposing Uriel's body to the air.
This was a face she was very familiar with.
Because it is so familiar, it seems strange at the moment.
Ever since she could remember, Grandpa Wu had always looked like an old man. This shows that he was no longer young when he accomplished the coming of God.
But the "old" spirit of the past cannot conceal the majestic strength and the persistence that breaks everything.
Now it is dry, like a circle of bark wrapped around a piece of rotten wood.
God comes to death and decays.
There are special autopsy tools in the morgue, which are placed next to the stone platform.
But Lin Youxie just silently took out his small black wooden box from the storage box.
Pulled out the first drawer, selected a pair of gloves, and slowly put them on.
Then he pulled out the third layer and selected a two-inch-long pointed knife among the various knives.
Close the wooden box again.
The whole process was very peaceful.
Now, she held the knife in her right hand, while her left hand slowly untied the old man's clothes and gently pressed it on the left shoulder socket.
The skinny corpse in front of her, and the coldness she could still feel through her gloves, were silently describing the facts to her——
The person who said, "I follow my 'dharma', I do my way. Ignore everything and avoid people and ghosts" no longer exists.
Your "Dharma" is in the Qingpai, and your "Tao" is in the Sanxing Palace.
If it was really "ignoring everything", why did he give up everything he owned in Beiya and pursue it alone for so many years because of the death of his friend?
If you are someone who "doesn't avoid people and ghosts", how come you have treated me like your own child and taken care of me for so many years since you were a child?
There are so many questions that can only be kept in my mind and will never have answers.
Lin Youxie was silent.
So what is the point of pursuing the truth?
What is the purpose of pursuing the truth?
Do you lose another relative because of the injustice of one relative?
Facing the corpse in front of her, she doubted for the first time the path she had taken over the years.
Jiang Wang and Zheng Shangming were also silent, just waiting for her move.
Lin Youxie was silent as he struck out with the first knife. The tip of the knife penetrated the shoulder socket, entering an inch or two. She skillfully pulled it down diagonally and made a half-arc.
Gently pick it up with the knife, the edge of the knife is opened, and the texture of the muscles is clear.
She looked at it carefully, remembered it in her mind, and then pushed back the cut flesh.
After a simple cleaning, he put away the knife and took out a translucent thin cone, which was only slightly thicker than an iron nail but five inches long.
The index finger and middle finger of the left hand took a few steps on the waist of the corpse and then pressed it in place, then naturally pierced it in...
Jiang Wang and Zheng Shangming watched Lin Youxie silently as they completed all the autopsy work.
From the scalp to the toes, from the outer skin to the internal organs, no possible clues were missed.
She is so calm.
The movements are clean and precise, without any delay.
Even with the most critical eye, you can't find anything wrong.
Zheng Shangming, who silently wrote down all the data of the corpse in his mind, could not help but be amazed by this superb skill. Compared with Jiang Wang, he has a better understanding of "skills" due to his family background.
And when he looked at Lin Youxie who was already packing the wooden boxes, he was actually even more surprised by how calm she was during the process.
"Have you taken your medicine today?" Jiang Wang sniffed lightly and asked suddenly.
Lin Youxie was stunned for a moment, his hand holding the knife stopped there.
It turned out that she had forgotten her fear.
