She comes from a time when the dead could speak.
Su Tang, a graduate student in modern forensic medicine, dressed as a beautiful lady and ran into an unsolved case on her first night - the palace maid Agui "hanged herself", but her hyoid bone was strangled before she died. She told the truth and received a slap in the face: "If you talk nonsense again, I will deal with you too."
In the next three years, the imperial physician with no water in his lungs floated in the Taiye Pool, the imperial doctor suddenly died of chronic lead frost, and the incense burner in the cold palace sifted out the ashes of the midwife. Every hastily buried body was waiting for her.
The person monitoring her is the sixth prince Xiao Jue. This man was gloomy and suspicious. He locked twenty doors every night, but silently blocked the interrogation during her autopsy. He snatched the half-burnt old file from the fire scene and left permanent scars on the back of his hands.
Every time she solves a case, she adds a piece of the puzzle to the old case file. The mother of the palace maid was a maid of the deposed prince's palace. She chose to hide the bracelet with the inscription "Heng'er 100 years old" engraved on it. The baby that the midwife had not delivered until her death was standing beside her at this moment.
Fifteen years ago, the edict was hidden in the mezzanine by potion. Fifteen years later, in the court hall, Xiao Jue spread out the yellowed silk: "The witness is an unknown female widow."
Su Tang went out and submitted twenty-three records of land inspection.
She's not here for revenge. She just wanted every forgotten corpse to have someone finish their words for them.
