Most of the people who graduated from Jiu Shang Palace stayed in Beijing to join the General Office or the Military Mansion. Even if they were unlucky, they would go to the prefectural city.
Shen Yan was different - he just felt that he was close to home, so he returned to Linhe County and was admitted to the county department.
Not long after taking office, a "water evil murder" case with a written conclusion was delivered to him. I saw it on the spot, the procedures are complete, and the case can be closed with just a signature.
After Shen Yan finished flipping through the files, he took another look at the body.
"There's a problem."
"What?"
"When did Shui Zui learn the standard technique of suppressing foreign affairs?"
A small case that everyone wanted to close as soon as possible was just reopened. Old canals, spiritual fields, sealed drawings, seals stamped by the state, and traces of practice that should never appear again are emerging layer by layer.
Others investigate the case and find the murderer from the evidence. Occasionally, Shen Yan could see a little more - why a thing became like this.
He originally just wanted to work safely at home.
Later, people in Linhe County discovered that the most troublesome thing about this Jiu Shang Palace graduate was not his genius.
But when others want to close a case, he can always find out the next page.
