"My great pleasure to see you, Your Highness."
"I want you to make an autopsy of the corpse."
"What?" As if not catching his meaning, Harper looked at him with a confused look. "Your Highness, what are you talking about?
I don't think I heard you clearly."
"I want you to make an autopsy of the corpse." There was no expression on Matthew's face. His face was as cold as ice.
And how could Harper say no to him? She didn't have the right to disagree with authority. So she just moved forward and
accepted her fate. Soon, she found herself at the scene of the crime.
Harper didn't enter the room immediately. Instead, she carefully examined the layout of the room. The only sign of chaos was a
stool laying on its side on the floor. The door and windows were intact. It seemed that no one had broken into the room.
After that, she stepped into the room and began to carefully examine the body. The victim was a business man from the Western
Regions, carrying a unique aromatic spice that only existed there. He died because the murderer had stabbed him in the chest.
The murderer killed him with only one blow. And the victim had no signs of struggle.
"I have checked the corpse, Your Highness." After inspection, Harper stood calmly beside Matthew.

But I swear that no one else knew about it," he explained. "Who is the shopkeeper?" Matthew said coldly. A middle-aged man knelt down in horror and said, "Your Highness, I am the shopkeeper." "Who is Leo?" "He is busy in the kitchen. Go and get him here." The shopkeeper wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and thought

'What the hell is going on? A murder case took place in my inn, and even His Highness is here. Am I going to die for this?'
Hearing that Matthew was looking for him, Leo tumbled out of the kitchen, scared out of his wits. He immediately knelt on the
floor, trembling. "Your Highness, it's my great honor to see you."
"Have you been in the kitchen all the time?" Matthew asked in a low voice.
"Yes. I have been in the kitchen all the time," replied Leo.
"Who was on duty last night?"
"Me." Kneeling on the floor, Leo was so scared that he didn't dare to look up.
