"Yes sir!" The Grand Master summoned up the courage to reply, as if he was walking on a sharp blade. Step by step, he approached his old master and respectfully offered him the bronze mirror.

Luo Qing Jin accepted it suspiciously, and looked at Yu Chi Ming with a puzzled expression.

"Take good care of your face!"

Hearing that, Luo Qing Jin was startled, he slowly patted on the copper mirror three times, and looked at himself in the mirror.

What he saw was a vague red stain on his lips.

Luo Qing Jin's face turned pale white at the speed of light, "Three … Three Prince s …"

"As a local parent, you are unambitious and infatuated with women. Tell me, how do you think the This King should punish you?" Yu Chi Ming's cold voice came out from her thin lips.

Luo Qing Jin's perspiration that was the size of beans trickled down his forehead; his hands touching the ground, he kowtowed to Yu Chi Ming non-stop: "Three Prince s! This official knows his wrongs! I beg the three Prince s to forgive me for being this official's first offender and to forgive this official … "

Xiao Mo Xin looked at Luo Qing Jin, whose head was bleeding profusely.

He should not have, should not have ignored his duty, even more so, been unluckily caught red-handed by Yu Chi Ming.

Before Yu Chi Ming could say anything, Luo Qing Jin's heart sank.

He could already see the end of his career as an official.

"Get up first!" This King has something to ask you! " After a long while, Yu Chi Ming said in a low voice.

Luo Qing Jin's action of kowtowing suddenly stopped, and she trembled with fear as he glanced at him. He stood up shakily: "I-I don't know Prince, what do you need to ask this official?"

"This King has heard that five consecutive yamen runners have died in this year. Furthermore, the cause of death is unknown. Is there such a thing?"

Luo Qing Jin's body that had just stood up, suddenly knelt on the ground: "This official has done something unfavorable, Prince, please punish me!"

"Tell me!" "What's going on?"

"Yes sir!" Luo Qing Jin raised his sleeves, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and explained in detail, "I'll have to start from Yuanyue …"

Luo Qing Jin spent half an hour before he finished explaining the situation in detail.

"In other words, other than knowing that they died from suffocation, they had no other clues?"

"Yes sir!" Luo Qing Jin braced himself and replied.

Yu Chi Ming got up, "Where are those corpses now?"

"Reporting to the three Prince s, all of them are in the morgue!"

"Bring This King to have a look!"

A hint of hesitation flashed across Luo Qing Jin's face: "Three Prince s! "The morgue is unlucky, you …"

"The same words, do not let This King say it twice!" Yu Chi Ming's voice vaguely contained a hint of warning.

Luo Qing Jin's heart skipped a beat, he stood up and led the way.

The morgue was not far from the main hall.

"Grand Master!" The key! " Luo Qing Jin looked back and called out.

The Grand Master quickly took three steps forward and took out a bunch of keys from his sleeve, respectfully handing them over to him.

Luo Qing Jin took it, found the key to the morgue and inserted it into the lock. With a slight sound, the lock clicked open; he removed the chain, and gently pushed the door open.

Yu Chi Ming and Xiao Mo Xin were the first to walk into the morgue, facing off against a cold and gloomy Qi.

Xiao Mo Xin's eyes swept the area but he did not discover what he was looking for. "Prince! I need some time! "

"En!" Yu Chi Ming looked back at Luo Qing Jin and the Grand Master who were following them: "You guys go out first, without This King's order, no one is allowed to come in!"

"Yes sir!"

Both of them slowly left the morgue.

Yu Chi Ming looked at Mo Zi Xuan.

Mo Zi Xuan understood that as he followed the two of them, he closed the door.

"What do you want to find out?"

"My guess!" As he replied, Xiao Mo Xin walked to the corpse's side and removed the white cloth from the corpse. He examined his face and neck to ensure that there were no injuries on it, and then moved his fingertips to the corpse's waist.

Yu Chi Ming's face darkened, he grabbed her fingertips: What are you doing?

"To check, of course, if there are any wounds on his body that can cause death!" Xiao Mo Xin said as a matter of fact.

After Yu Chi Ming heard this, his face could not help but darken a little. "Don't you know that there are differences between males and females?"

The corner of Xiao Mo Xin's eyes twitched as he solemnly declared, "He's a dead man!"

"That's still a man!"

"…" Xiao Mo Xin.

Yu Chi Ming was in a deadlock with her for a moment, and said with a dark face: "Must you check?"

Xiao Mo Xin nodded.

After a struggle flashed past Yu Chi Ming's eyes, she pulled her to the side. Then, she tore off the corpse and took off half of her belt.

Xiao Mo Xin raised his eyebrows, "Is Prince preparing to check it personally?"

Yu Chi Ming did not say anything, but quickly took off the corpse's clothes and inspected it once more. After confirming that there were no other wounds on his body, he helped her put on her clothes.

After Xiao Mo Xin saw that he had sorted out the corpses, his eyebrows curved: "Since Prince has already made his move, why not inspect the other four corpses!"

As his voice faded, he looked around with hope at the other four corpses.

Yu Chi Ming's breathing stopped, he raised his eyebrows and walked over.

Compared to the freshness of the first corpse, the rest of the four corpses had turned grayish-brown due to the long time they had been dead. But this didn't stop them from checking for fatal wounds.

After 15 minutes…

Yu Chi Ming then covered the last corpse.

"Just as corona had said, there are no fatal wounds on the corpse!" Yu Chi Ming stated the truth coldly, as he was obviously in a bad mood.

Xiao Mo Xin understood very well that as a high and mighty Prince, he would temporarily be in a state of mind as a corona.

"They don't have any fatal wounds on their bodies, but they die from suffocation. Under normal circumstances, if they were strangled to death by something, their necks would have been imprinted with marks, but I noticed that there isn't the slightest trace of strangling on the necks of the five dead people. If they were strangled to death, they would have more or less left behind some clues because of their struggles. Xiao Mo Xin frowned, the guess in his heart, was getting clearer and clearer.

"You suspect that it was a ghost?" Yu Chi Ming.

Xiao Mo Xin nodded his head, "The reason why I made such a judgement is because I did not see their souls. Logically speaking, for a person who had just died, their ghosts would definitely hover around their corpses, but I did not see them. Instead, I faintly smelt an aura that does not belong to them!"

Yu Chi Ming did not say anything, and quietly waited for her next words.

"If I'm not wrong, not only did these people die at the hands of those evil spirits, even their souls were devoured as well!" Although Xiao Mo Xin didn't wish to see such an outcome the most, there were some things that were usually done with the intent.

"If it's really the work of a ghost, how confident are you to find it?" Yu Chi Ming asked.

"That's hard to say!" Currently, she wasn't clear on anything, so it was naturally difficult for her to make a judgement. However …
