Gu Yun quickly picked up the dossier on the table and began to read it attentively. Su Yu, already in a fit of anger, saw how Gu Yun was ignoring him now. Finally he could not hold back his fury anymore. Grabbing back the dossier, Su Yu angrily said: "Is there any good in reading it?! This is a matter you should not meddle in!"   

They have collaborated together on so many cases in the past, Qing's autopsy methods and procedures she knew them inside out. Absolutely it was of Qing!   

Suppressing the excitement in her heart, Gu Yun feigning as if nothing was amiss, casually asked: "Who wrote this autopsy report?"   

Autopsy report? Su Yu glanced down at the dossier which Gu Yun read just a moment ago, originally it's a coroner's document ah! The dossier was again dropped on the low, small table, Su Yu snappily replied: "Are not those, people of the Ministry of Justice." He only read the sentence passed by the Ministry of Justice, the outcome was he already right away got angry half to death. He did not have the mood at all to continue reading it.   
   
A person of the Ministry of Justice? This – this cannot be true! Gu Yun continued to ask: "Are they usually written like this?"   

Su Yu hesitated for a moment, how would he know how the Ministry of Justice usually writes?   

Su Ren seemed to look at Gu Yun peculiarly, replied: "Today's coroner's report is definitely not quite the same, the use of words in the sentences is particularly ..." Pausing for a moment, he did not continue. Gu Yun finished it for him, saying: "precise and incisive."   

"Right." That's it exactly. Precise and incisive. Initially he noticed the difference, but somehow he could not come up with the right words to describe it. She unexpectedly nailed it spot on.   

Could it be that in the end Qing in this different era landed herself later in the Ministry of Justice? It is not impossible at all, Gu Yun continued to ask: "Who is in charge of this case?"   

"Why are you asking?" Su Yu was getting impatient, how come today she is so bothersome?!   

Gu Yun shrugged her shoulders, masking her eagerness, she curiously asked: "Don't you think that this case is dubious in numerous points?"   

A hint of surprise flashed in Su Ren's eyes, laughing, he inquired: "What made you think so?"   

Unfolding the dossier, inside there were three parts of the small scroll, Gu Yun delivered her analysis: "The deceased was murdered inside the prison cell, and this was after he was meted out the death penalty sentence, isn't this suspicious? The murderer is the current housekeeper of the family of the deceased. The motive of the crime is surprisingly because the master did not treat him well. The person is anyway soon to die. How deep runs the enmity, how great is the hatred to insist on and take risks personally killing someone? Moreover, the issue of theft and switching of military provisions extremely lacks basis, this kind of autopsy report, the case assertions and presentation of its conclusions—their words are inconsistent with one another, the chain of evidence clearly did not establish the case to be tenable, even if the case is closed?"

Gu Yun really wondered, the case riddled with so many loopholes why did they not even think it odd, even if boorish and sloppy Su Yu didn't find anything, but also Su Ren turning a blind eye?  

Su Ren slightly lowered his head down. His face was filled with astonishment and contemplation. She merely had a cursory glance over the dossier, yet she was able to quickly identify the problems, recited her analysis concisely, recounting the key points clearly, as if this kind of stuff she had already dealt with countless times. What kind of a woman is she after all? Rumor has it that the Qing sisters are well endowed with beauty and talent. He was initially under the impression that the so-called "talent" is no more than excelling in poetry and music, in playing the guqin, chess, calligraphy and painting. But, she is unexpectedly skilled in military training, is she likewise good in cracking cases? This talent is really something extraordinary!
