Chi Shi took a shower and changed into a gray robe embroidered dark silver flowers, used a few pieces of bean skin, drank a bowl of steaming millet porridge, and took a carriage with Zhou Xian and headed towards the Shen family.

It was still early now and it was snowing heavily again. There were not many pedestrians on the street, and only a few vendors were carrying loads and shouting in the cold wind.

Zhou Xian took a bamboo tube and handed it to the pond, "You didn't sleep all night last night. I soaked some ginseng slices for you. It was not as good as stewed with rock sugar, but it could improve it. It's just right if you don't burn it now, so you can drink some."

Chi Shi picked up the bamboo tube and took a sip without hesitation. Seeing that Zhou Xian was not talking about what was happening next to him, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your Highness, Your Highness..."

As soon as she took a sip, she heard a shout, followed by the neighing of a horse, and the carriage stopped.

Zhou Xian lifted the curtain of the carriage, and a man wearing a straw raincoat and a straw hat poked his head in. Thinking of the person inside, he couldn't see his face. He took off the hat again, jumped on the spot, shaking the snow on his body.

"President Cao is so anxious, but is there something important?"

Tutor Cao looked around and lowered his voice, "Your Highness, a case happened in the capital. The lord wants you to work with the coroner of Chi to take a look. Let me get in the car before talking."

Zhou Xian frowned and made a place for the Proxy Cao. They were in the middle of the road. Although there were not many people on the street, they were too eye-catching. As soon as the Proxy Cao got on the car, Chang Kang and Jiule immediately moved the carriage to an inconspicuous alley on the side of the road.

Cao Tui took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat beads on his forehead. "Early this morning, a wife suddenly came to Jingzhao Mansion to complain. She said that it was her younger brother who was killed."

"If it was an ordinary murder case, I wouldn't have troubled you two. But this time it was particularly strange. The lady's name was Yao Yan, and she had a younger brother named Yao Bao."

"She said she had a dream before, dreaming that her younger brother Yao Bao was killed. The body was tied tightly and knelt on a river near his house. The river water soaked his feet. Because it was snowing, the body kept shouting, "It's so cold, sister, I'm so cold..."

"After having a dream, she felt quite uneasy. Her younger brother did not return overnight last night. The family members searched for it but failed. She suddenly remembered that dream and went to the riverside. Sure enough, she found his younger brother's body by the river. The way she died was exactly the same as in her dream."

"He was tied up by the river and threw the body, covered with snow. His whole body was just the only place to wear shoes. He was soaked in the water. The shoes were soaked, like a big ice lump."

"Yao Yan was so scared that she came to Jingzhao Mansion to report the case immediately."

After Cao Tui said that, he quietly looked at Zhou Xian and Tongchi Shi.

Chi Shi frowned, "How to prove that Yao Yan really had this dream? After all, her brain only grows on her shoulders, and no one can cut it open to see what's inside?"

When Zhou Xian heard this, he shook his head, "Power Cao came to us because this case is not a new case. But six years ago, there were several identical cases. At that time, we called the murderer the dreamer."

"Later, Cao Tui and Su Jie broke the case. The murderer was the son of a witch nearby. The relatives of the deceased went to the witch and solved the dream. The witch's son, after eavesdropping on the conversation, killed people according to the dream."

"The case caused a sensation at that time, but after the dreamer was arrested, he confessed to all the criminal facts and was executed in the autumn. After six years... So, do you suspect that Yao Bao's case is related to the case that year?"

Tutor Cao nodded seriously, he pursed his lips, and after a while, he said, "Although the dreamer admitted that he was the murderer, he never mentioned his motive for murder in detail, only saying that he thought murder was interesting, so..."

"We have encountered many perverted serial killers like this. Sometimes, they are like inhumane people who kill people like beasts."

"Because those deceased only have a common place like the witch, and the suspect pleaded guilty... What I am worried about with Su Corp is whether we caught the wrong murderer and wrongly accused the good man."

Chi Shi saw him drooping his head and said, "Oh", "Maybe someone is imitating the crime? You and Su Coroner, you are a bad guy at first sight. Such a powerful real murderer is not so easy for you to encounter."

As soon as Chi Shi finished speaking, he heard another sound of horse hooves approaching. Lu Jin turned over and ran over anxiously. He wiped the sweat beads on his forehead, lowered his voice, and bowed to Tutor Cao, "Sir, it's not good. There are three more families who have come to Jingzhao Mansion to report the case."

"It's just like what Yao said this morning. I've had a nightmare. I dreamed that my relatives around me died, and then they really died. The scene of death is exactly the same as in my dream. They all died last night."

"It's getting late now. The three families gathered at the gate of Jingzhao Mansion and cried. Now this case has spread. The prefect asked you to go back quickly..."

Tutor Cao's pupils shook and he looked at Zhou Xian. His voice was a little dry, "Your Highness, this moment is exactly the same as six years ago..."

Zhou Xian nodded, and took out the brocade box in his arms. The Shen family was already close, but they were afraid they couldn't get through for a while.

"Chang Kang, you send this to Mrs. Shen first, and then I said that I have official duties with Chi Shi and will not be able to go there later. You can see if there is anything you need help with, whether it is money or manpower, just do what Mrs. Shen said."

Chang Kang nodded, took the brocade box containing the jade pendant, and walked towards the Shen family.

Zhou Xian put down the curtain of the carriage, Jiule raised his whip, the carriage fell and ran away.

The riverside was not far away. When the pool and Zhou Xian arrived, the surrounding area had been blocked by the yamen runners of Jingzhao Mansion with wooden barricades. The people watching the fun surrounded a large circle and were all pointing fingers there.

As soon as he walked in, Chi Shi saw the corpse kneeling by the river at a glance.

She walked over quickly and looked at Su Jizhuo who was squatting there. "The deceased was cyanotic, and it looked like he died of suffocation."

Su Ruzhuo heard Chi Shi's voice and raised his head, "But there were no handprints on his neck, or traces of the rope after being strangled. There was no bruise left by the murderer who covered the dead man's mouth and nose with force. I even carefully checked his mouth and nose."

"I didn't find any crumbs or silk threads left by suffocating them with soft fabrics. Do you think it would be the suffocation death caused by wet paper sticking to the face one by one?"
