The Pig-Castrator Detective

A pig castrator near Chang'an has become famous, not for his outstanding skills, but because this pig castrator can solve crimes!

While castrating a pig, he found human bones in the pen and painstakingly determined they belonged to Liu the Lame, who had gone missing next door. While castrating another pig, he found a jade pendant hidden in the pen, identified it as stolen property from an Attendant Minister's household, and followed the trail to the thief, a notorious burglar who turned out to be the goofy Wang Dalang from next door!

Who's the best pig castrator in Chang'an? Head south to Lantian and find Yun He!

First-rate at castrating pigs, and just as good at catching thieves and murderers!

What can a county magistrate or the Prefect of Jingzhao do? They're nowhere near as good at solving crimes as pig castrator Yun He!

Yun He transmigrated, but he didn't become royalty or a commoner. He wasn't a poor scholar, either. He became a pig castrator!

As a pig castrator, his family background was hardly respectable, and he wasn't even qualified to take the imperial examinations. While other transmigrators could use the exams to rise to great heights, all he could do was castrate pigs to support his family.

In other words, Yun He would probably spend his whole life as a pig castrator.

But how could Yun He, armed with all his modern knowledge, be content to live an ordinary life?

So Yun He became a detective pig castrator!

The Emperor: What's a detective? A pig castrator can solve crimes better than the Prefect of Jingzhao? Let me have a look.

What? Things people touch leave invisible fingerprints, and if you sprinkle on some of this powder, the fingerprints appear? And every person's fingerprints are different?

What? Insects found on a corpse can tell us something, too? You can tell how long someone has been dead by the stage of development of the maggots?

What? My son and the Attendant Minister's son are having an affair, in the grand tradition of Emperor Liu of Han?!
