Chapter 304: The Money Pouch When the topic of autopsy came up, Master Tian consulted the Capital Envoys on their opinion. Those who had been clinging to the death of their colleague were firmly opposed. Peng Tou said, "Master Tian, since the facts are clear, my brother was killed by Zhang Xuan.

Chapter 159: Ghost Possession I swam a little closer, using my flashlight to scan the silk wrapping the corpse. The dark silk was heavily patterned with cloud motifs, and gold threads were woven into the fabric. Under the beam of my light, these gold threads floated loosely where the silk had frayed or torn.

Chapter 87 – Du Xinrui’s Obsession No one really knew when this trend started— They said that eating apples on Christmas Eve could symbolize peace and safety. It was kind of laughable, really. Christmas Eve was clearly a tradition imported from abroad. It wasn’t even a true holiday here.
