Chapter 28: My Path

Dissection of a corpse is the simplest thing in the world.

It is not much different from pork.

But what if the body belonged to a loved one…

My hands trembled uncontrollably.

Who can be heartless

Regarding Jiang Wang's question.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

Lin Youxie only fell silent for a moment before putting the lid on the wooden box and putting it away in his storage pouch.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Forgot to drink it," she said calmly.

Zheng Shangming didn't know that Lin Youxie had a fear of heights, so he couldn't understand the emotions behind this conversation.

He just asked: "Deputy Magistrate Lin, have you finished the inspection"

"Well, alright then." Lin Youxie said.

This is a placeholder.

"Do we have any leads" Zheng Shangming asked.

“You really want to know” Lin Youxie asked.

"Of course," Zheng Shangming said, "Is it inconvenient to say"

"The deceased had seven wounds, only one of which could be considered fatal. That was a penetrating head injury, likely caused by wind, according to the index finger."

Please let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

And the remaining six wounds were clearly inflicted after death. They were irregular and likely caused by a type of scavenging fish called "Worm Rhinoceros" found near the island of Haimen.

I think his true cause of death was spiritual collapse. The physical body disintegrated after the soul departed, and the skull fracture was a later addition, meant to mislead people.

I have ample reason to suspect that the killer wasn't from outside the seas, and Haimen Island wasn't his first murder scene...

Lin Youxie finished speaking in one breath and looked at Zheng Shangming: "I've said so much, will Bei Ya investigate the Dazawa clan"

Zheng Shangming was taken aback and forced a smile, saying, "This...depends on what the superiors think."

Lin Youxie didn't say anything else, just turned and walked out.

Jiang Wang silently followed behind her.

Both of them remained silent and walked out of the Northern Palace like that.

All those who had come to meet the funeral procession were now gone, as if the sorrow that had hung over the entire Beiyuan Palace was a fleeting thing, appearing only in the moment they saw Ulie's corpse.

“Why are you following me” Lin Youxie suddenly asked.

“When a person is irrational, they are prone to making foolish choices,” Jiang Wang said. “At the very least, we've worked together, and I don't want you to die as a fool.”

“It’s all over.” Lin Youxie said.

Once the renowned detective Ulu was dead, the clues on Gu Xing's side of Bajiao Island would only be hidden deeper.

Even if there was any before, it's definitely been erased now.

Without conclusive evidence, no matter how much you suspect or analyze, no matter how logical your analysis may seem... it is all in vain.

>

The cruellest thing of all is this.

The Lei Gui Fei assassination case has been unsolved for seventeen years now.

Uriel and Lin had followed the clues for seventeen years. In those seventeen years, they certainly reaped some harvest, but they could never get close to the core truth.

They fought bravely but made little progress.

Until Feng Gu's sudden death this time, leaving clues, pointing directly at the current empress.

Then, the long-buried truth gradually emerged from the water.

...Just one step away...

Mingming was only one step away from the truth, but he couldn't take that final step.

When Urie's body lay still on the sea, what was he feeling

You must also be very regretful, right

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

But as Lin Youxie said, it's all over.

Any rational person should understand that this farce is over.

Feng Gu died.

Gongsun Yu died.

Uriel is dead.

Unending pursuit will only result in more deaths.

But the truth will not come to light.

> More people will just die meaningless deaths.

Of course, more people can be included, such as Yang Jing, Lin Youxie, and even Jiang Wang.

Lin Youxie is still alive only because of her official position.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

As an inspector deputy, she had been carrying the blue badge for many years. To kill her would be tantamount to provoking national dignity.

But if it really comes to a point where killing is unavoidable, the person behind the scenes won't hesitate.

After all, even Lei Guifei is dead, what's the harm in killing a mere deputy inspector

“Yes, it seems like everything is over.” Jiang Wang said. “But you won’t give up.”

Lin Youxie continued walking forward, without speaking.

Here is the translation of your provided text.Note: The HTML tags are not translated as you requested.

Jiang Wang followed behind, continuing to say, "You said you have the same unwavering heart as I do. So I know you won't give up."

"What else can we do but not give up" Lin Youxie said.

Jiang Wangdao: "Life is long, and the future can hold many possibilities..."

“Rest assured, I won't do anything foolish.” Lin Youxie raised his hand to stop him and then waved it away.

“Please go back, Lord Jiang,” she said. “I want to be alone.”

Jiang Wang then stopped and watched quietly as she walked away.

Linzi was very large and populous. This rather thin figure just walked into the bustling streets, and quickly disappeared.

The more prosperous Linzi became, the lonelier those ignored by the city grew.

Look at this surging crowd, so ordinary.

However, each drop in the crowd represents a life that has journeyed for a long time. Everyone has their own story, their own choices, and their own hardships.

Doesn't everyone in the world suffer

Therefore, Buddhism says this is the sea of suffering.

Jiang Wang tidied up her mood and was about to turn around and go back home when suddenly a voice transmission exploded softly in her ear——

"Back then, Lin's condition was indeed due to suicide. I can only say that much."

This voice was clearly disguised, very neutral, neither male nor female, completely indistinguishable from the original.

The Arhat's ethereal state activated instantly, and Jiang Wang almost immediately traced the sound to its source. He turned his head to look, only to see a back disappearing around the corner.

Before the gate of the Imperial City Patrol Department, there stretched a street. Facing it stood a high wall. Behind the wall was a cluster of houses built specifically for the Blue-Card Catchers. Many Catchers lived inside, and the environment was quite good.

The long street stretches on both sides, with two intersecting streets at each end, roughly forming an inverted “工” shape. The Beiyuan is located in the north of this inverted “工” shape.

Besides the street in front of the city guard's mansion being a bit deserted, both sides of the streets were very lively.

Lin Youxie walked on the west side street, while that mysterious voice sender walked on the east side.

As soon as he pinpointed the source of the sound, Jiang Wang tapped his toes, and Qingyun vanished. With a graceful stride, he dashed forward at top speed to the eastern street, but all he saw were crowds thronging both ends of the street. A sea of people jostled and pushed, each engrossed in their own lives.

Where can you still find the mysterious person's trace

Who is it

Why bother running over to say that

Was it out of a so-called naive sense of justice, or pity for Lin Youxie, or was it some force unwilling to let the case reach an impasse, deliberately giving a hint

Now Jiang Wang understands Lin Youxie's state these years very well, understanding the words in Feng Guyu's letter —

Let me know if you'd like to translate something else!

>Looking around, everyone is suspicious.

Du Fang can be considered half a disciple of Lin Kuang, yet he was the one who threw Lin Kuang's corpse in front of Lin Youxie.

As a respected third-rank Jin Gua warrior and fourth-rank Qing Pai Captain, I strictly followed the regulations to go to the autopsy room for an inspection. Someone accompanied me in secret.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Upon receiving the assignment, I rode in a carriage from Beiyuan. The coachman was one of their subordinates.

Gongsun Yu didn't say a word, revealing no information, yet he still turned his head and died.

Wulie was a famous hunter, known for his exceptional skill. In the end, he met an untimely demise and his body was found floating at sea...

But whenever the assassination of Empress Lei during that year is mentioned, everyone and everything becomes complicated.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

So even though this transmission carried a very strong hint, Jiang Wang was still very cautious.

But speaking of which,

>

If this mysterious person is telling the truth, Lin Qian did indeed commit suicide...

Then, why

A man like Lin Xiang, the best Qingpai captain in history, a man who dedicated his life to the honor of the Qingpai... how could he commit suicide How could he choose such an undignified end

The answer is actually quite obvious...

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

When I returned to the mansion, Chongxuan was also there.

This fat man was holding a blunt sword and sparring with Fourteen, exchanging blows.

>

That's not a big deal, the only issue is...

Their place of sparring was in Jiang Wang's courtyard.

"Can't you play somewhere else" As soon as she entered, Jiang Wang heard the sound of ping pong and couldn't help frowning: "I spent money decorating my courtyard."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Zhong Xuan turned and without looking back threw out a sentence: "Double your money if I break it."

Jiang Wang immediately stopped talking.

Since we are all friends, there's no need to dwell on it.

Anyway, once he closes his bedroom door, the sound is blocked and he can practice. He's not afraid of being disturbed.

A truly diligent practitioner should have the perseverance to meditate even in the midst of a bustling city!

“Here you go.” Chongxuan Sheng tossed a booklet in the midst of the swirling blades, “The investigation results on Gongsun Yu.”

He was just here waiting for Jiang Wang, practicing his sword was just a side thing.

>

Jiang Wang reached out to catch it, muttering, "You're putting in a lot of effort, which isn't very like you."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Zhong Xuan roared in the midst of his busy schedule, "You're always practicing as if your life depends on it right in front of me. How could I possibly slack off!"

This is a paragraph.

"Okay, okay, don't get excited, you continue."

Jiang Wang first refrained from provoking him. He stood at the edge of the courtyard, amidst the flashing blades and shimmering light, silently reviewing his intelligence reports.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

The information gleaned from the Shadow Guard's investigation paints a nearly complete picture of Gongsun Yu's movements after leaving Changsheng Palace.

There is corroborating information from multiple sources that Changsheng Palace has indeed been secretly investigating the case of Lei Guifei. However, investigations suddenly ceased last year.

All this information perfectly matched Jiang Wang's own deductions—Jiang Wuqi had indeed uncovered the truth and then chose to remain silent. Gongsun Yu also chose to silence himself by cutting out his tongue in order to protect this secret.

He put the information away and drew out his long sword, Qing Si.

Just as the swords were drawn, Chong Xuan seemed to receive a signal and suddenly jumped out of the battle formation. He holstered his sword and looked at Jiang Wang with a wary expression: “What are you doing”

“That’s not how you use a sword.” Jiang Wang’s expression was earnest: “Good brother, I’ve noticed some issues with your swordsmanship.”

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Zhong Xuan Sheng directly put the knife back into his storage pouch and sat down heavily on the stone chair, even rolling his eyes: "What's it to you"

He was shaking with fat, looking like he said, "I'm defenseless now, if you have no moral bottom line, come and cut me."

Jiang Wang felt a bit regretful, but he could only sheath his sword with regret. He mumbled on one side: "You are too arrogant, you'll progress slowly this way."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Objectively speaking, Chong Xuan's swordsmanship is definitely not bad, it can even be said to have a considerable level of attainment.

But he was still some distance from the pinnacle of this realm.

Not only was his swordsmanship superb, but Chong Xuan Sheng also excelled in various Daoist arts, secret arts, martial techniques, and body movements... However, all of them fell short of perfection.

He was too intelligent, so intelligent that he could reach great heights without even trying.

But to reach the very peak, it takes more than just intelligence. It requires unwavering effort, a wholehearted commitment, and the ability to capture fleeting inspiration amidst the constant refinement day after day...

All in all, I'm still too distracted.

This point, Heavy Xuan himself also understands.

However, an opponent of Jiang Wang's level, while capable of offering some assistance, would be ineffective in a situation where life and death were not at stake. He wouldn't give Jiang Wang the opportunity to openly beat him up.

He was very clear about where his path lay, only the official road could integrate all of his talents.

Of course, this path should start with the title of Marquis of Bowang... saving decades of hard work.

Zhong Xuan sat heavily in the stone chair, scoffing. "You refuse the position of Northern Guard Commander At this rate, you'll progress even slower!"

>

"Too lazy to care about you," Jiang Wang scoffed, brushing past him and heading straight for his room.

"See, as soon as I mention this, you don't like it, do you"

Then what can you say that I want to hear

Zhong Xuan Sheng said, "Our Desheng Commercial Association has done very well in business this year, and there will be a lot of dividends at the end of the year."

A hint of a smile appeared on Jiang Wang's tightly stretched face.

"But we two can't be separated, and we still have to throw ourselves into expanding our business." Chong Xuan said.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

“Honestly, Fourteen shouldn't be letting you get away with this.” Jiang Wang said angrily, “Don’t you know that Fourteen’s swordsmanship is already far superior to yours She’s just suppressing her strength so she can spar with you evenly. You keep thinking you don’t need guidance! To be frank, you’re arrogant and completely lack self-awareness!”

>

Compared to the Xuan Sheng's mastery of swordsmanship, Fourteen's skills seemed to have reached the very pinnacle of this realm. It's unknown how much effort this girl, who has always been hidden under her armor, has put in behind closed doors.

However, up until now, he has yet to acquire divine abilities. This is another point of inadequacy from birth.

"Really" Chongxuan turned his head to look at Shi Fourteen.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"I'm just a little bit better than you," Fourteen said softly.

“You’re amazing! How are you so excellent” Chongxuan laughed, his eyes twinkling: “I don’t even need to struggle at all!”

Jiang Wang then frowned: "The information has been delivered, and the sparring has been done. In my opinion, there's nothing else to do here. Why don't you all go back to your own courtyards Don't interfere with Da Qi's first day of cultivation!"

He deliberately pointed out Fourteenth's swordsmanship progress, just to humiliate the fat man.

But this fat man didn't look the least bit insulted.

We were all about to gnaw on that hunk of metal!

I have no choice but to leave.

Fourteen then retreated a step, like there was no silver here...

"Cough!" Chong Xuan coughed lightly, not showing any embarrassment at all. He said seriously, "Don't get involved anymore, Grandpa Jiang"

Jiang Wang said nothing.

Zhong Xuansheng said again, "You are only responsible for supervising the progress of the case and can withdraw at any time. This is a step given to you by the emperor. If you don't go down now, when will you"

You are given an opportunity, and you don't take it. You are given a step down, and you refuse to take it. What do you want to do

"How much do you think the emperor can tolerate"

Jiang Wang retreated into the bedroom and scoffed, "What's it to you"

> Shut the door.
