Sun Shaozong looked at him up and down a few times. He saw that the guard leader was in his early thirties. His horse-like face was full of anxiety, and his eyes were even more wandering. He didn't dare to look at himself, so he became more and more sure that there must be something strange in it.
Then he frowned and said, "The transfer order I received was to take over the position after New Year. How can you come to me before the New Year?"
As soon as the horse-like face guard leader heard this, he knew it was the right person. Without a hurry to reply, he called two of his colleagues first. The three people lined up respectfully and said, "Greetings, Magistrate."

Sun Shaozong waved his hand and hurriedly asked them again, "According to the Imperial edict, I haven't officially taken over the position yet. Even if there was a big case, it shouldn't be on my head."
The leader of the guard of the horse-like face smiled and said, "Master, I don't want to disturb your purity, but I have gotten orders from The Minister of the Department saying that this sudden homicide case before the New Year is unlucky. It must be solved as soon as possible so as not to make people panic. So he appointed you to take charge of this case."
As he said this, he glanced at Sun Shaozong's face and saw that he was not anxious and panicked at all, but his eyes were burning like eagles. He didn't dare to peek any longer. He hurriedly continued, "The Minister of the Department said that you have solved a great mystery case in the Kingdom of Qian Xiang in just half a day. A mere case of murder isn’t going to be hard for you. Please ensure that you close the case before New Year's Eve."
