Chapter 39: Floating Corpse
It was a schoolboy's scream, a short one, but enough to get everyone's attention in the woods.
Ling Gu followed the sound and saw a student in a black military uniform raising his hand and pointing in the direction of Mingjing Lake. Ling Gu followed his finger again, and his eyes were good at spotting a dark shadow floating not far from the lake.
It was a man, a man in a black military uniform.
Ling Gu turned his head to look at the Mingshui priest, and sure enough, he saw that the bald head of the Mingshui priest had just been wiped dry, and a layer of cold sweat broke out.
"Priest, don't you catch people?" Ling Gu reminded the priest who froze.
The priest of Mingshui suddenly jumped to his feet and shouted for people to salvage.
The man was dead, a schoolboy, with a hideous face, but he looked like he had just died. Ling Gu was a little strange - it stands to reason that people who had just drowned would not float on the water.
"It's a horse and a millimeter!" Some students recognized it, and suddenly a group of students were buzzing. Priest Mingshui's face turned pale, and he stood there in despair, and then hurriedly instructed the students to inform the people of the Ma family.
Seeing them flustered like this, Ling Gu asked Bai Yu a little strangely: "Who is Ma Jihao?" β
Bai Yu shook his head: "I haven't heard of it." β
Ling Gu had no choice but to stop the headless Mingshui priest and asked, "Dean, what is the origin of this horse?" β
Priest Mingshui sighed and said to Ling Gu: "Madame doesn't know, although the Shuai Mansion is the heart of Bermuda City, it does not supervise Bermuda City. The forces in the city are now divided into four parts: money, salt, utensils, and soldiers, and this Ma family is in charge of salt. The Ma family has two sons, both of whom are studying in Taiyuan, and one of them is the dead Ma Jihao. β
Ling Gu suddenly understood why the Mingshui priest was so flustered - it was enough to choke on a dead student, and this student was the son of one of the four major forces in Bermuda City.
"Tsk, that's hard, Dean." Ling Gu said.
The priest of Mingshui wanted to cry without tears, and Ling Gu's expression looked like schadenfreude.
This Mingshui priest really misunderstood Ling Gu, although he did not report a good impression of the so-called "forces" outside the Shuai Mansion, he really would not "gloat" in front of the corpse of a young man who had just died.
Ling Gu looked at the corpse of Ma and Hao Wolf BΓ¨i, sighed, and said, "Dean, let's collect the corpse first, it's really not a matter of placing it here." β
"Send it to the temple." Bai Yu suddenly spoke.
The priest of Mingshui thought about it - Ma Jihao is a senior student, although his spiritual cultivation is not high, but he will not fall into the water and drown, and Ma Jihao can also water. There must be something strange in this, taking the corpse to the temple to find out, and it can also give the Ma family a convincing explanation.
The priest of Mingshui thought about it, and hurriedly answered, and then found someone to take Ma Jihao's body to the temple. Moreover, the priest of Mingshui announced the ban, and the death of a student also made the cowardly-looking abbot angryβfrom then on, all trespassers in the courtyard were killed.
Ling Gu didn't have a problem with this - he didn't expect to talk about the "legal system" in the central realm anyway.
"Aren't we going?" Ling Gu was held by Bai Yu all the way out, and when they arrived at the door, they walked with the group of priests of Mingshui.
Hearing this, Bai Yu pinched Ling Gu's palm dissatisfiedly: "The wedding banquet is set at the New Year's Pass, and it is the New Year's dinner of the Shuai Mansion, and the main dish is for you to decide." And you didn't choose the style of our new clothes. There was also a custom of walking joy that day, but you haven't even seen the face of stepping on the wind. β
Treading Wind is Bai Yu's mount, and its appearance is no different from that of a horse, but it is actually a Tempest Beast, the fastest spirit beast in the Central Realm.
Ling Gu looked at Bai Yu, and he didn't know why, but he actually heard a little coquettish taste from these words. But looking at Bai Yu's strong physique, Ling Gu silently put the word "coquettish" back into his stomach.
"Okay, let's go back to the Shuaifu first." Ling Gu smiled, anyway, he didn't have much of a fetish for the autopsy process.
The only pity is that I came to the Taiyuan in a hurry, but I didn't look at anything.
The Shuai Mansion was not affected by the outside world at all, and was jubilant, one because of the marriage between Ling Gu and Bai Yu, and the other because it was almost the New Year. The little radish heads were dressed as snow dolls one by one, and many of them did not want to change back into human form, and their animal forms were wrapped in thick fur, clever and cheerful.
Ling Gu went from the Marshal's Mansion to the Commander's Mansion, and along the way, he took turns holding more than a dozen hairballs, and entered the door dirty.
"Little bones~" As soon as she entered the door, Mu Ying jumped over, but when she saw Bai Yu next to her, she took another step and turned away.
Ling Gu raised his eyebrows and looked at Bai Yu: "You are free to move." β
Bai Yu had no choice but to walk away first. As soon as Bai Yu walked away, Mu Ying rushed out again, looking at Ling Gu squinting and smiling.
Ling Gu asked, "What's wrong?" β
Mu Ying smiled: "I heard Xiao Yan say, Ma Jihao is dead, right?" β
"That's it?" Ling Gu wondered, is there anything that Bai Yu can't hear?
Mu Ying also saw his doubts, shrugged his shoulders and said, "The boss actually doesn't like humans. Bermuda has been settled here for more than a hundred years, and at first it was only us and the temple, and after the dark day, the Bright Moon Priest negotiated with the boss to let those people live in Bermuda. The boss doesn't like to take care of them, so naturally he won't care. But I don't think so. β
"Since those human beings are dependent on the marshal's mansion, they must learn to be grateful. But in fact, they are like fat moths, they swagger and deceive and form gangs under the banner of the Shuaifu, but they do not have the least respect for the Shuaifu. Now Bermuda has carved up its sphere of influence. β
Ling Gu didn't understand: "Bai Yu knows all this." β
Mu Ying pouted unhappily: "Hmm." Yes, but we will eventually leave the Nexus, so the Boss doesn't care. He doesn't like us talking about it, and he doesn't like us fighting for power with those humans, so he can't let the Boss hear it. β
Ling Gu understood: "Do you want to take the opportunity to do something?" β
Mu Ying was silent for a moment and shook her head: "It's not time yet, a little cub has died, and it can't shake the alliance of those people." I just want to sue you, and then ...... Which side are you on? β
Well, it's here to pull teammates.
Ling Gu smiled: "Bai Yu doesn't care, that's his business." But I can't get used to seeing other people riding on my head. β
Mu Ying happily clapped her hands and said, "Sure enough, it's still a small bone~"
"But it's still very difficult to implement." Ling Gu touched his chin and said, "Speaking of which, Ma Jihao's death this time shouldn't be so simple. β
"Hey, wasn't it beaten to death by a group?" Mu Ying asked, she had listened to what Boyan said, and she thought that Ma Jihao had died in the brawl.
"There's something strange about his body." Ling Gu remembered the situation of Ma Jihao's body floating on the water, and said, "Otherwise, let's go to the temple and have a look later." Speaking of which, I haven't been to the temple yet. β
Ling Gu began to be curious again.
"Childe." When Lu Zhu was about to move, he gracefully came down from the corridor and smiled at Ling Gu: "The samples of the new clothes are ready, the son is going to try it, and if it is confirmed, you have to start making zuΓ², and the divorce period is less than two months away." β
Ling Gu was a little uninterested in this, and when he was about to refuse, Mu Ying took his arm and followed Lu Zhu, and said as he walked: "Oh, little bone, no matter if the sky falls now, it is your marriage with the boss that is important." β
Ling Gu silently glanced at her - a traitor.
Who was carrying Bai Yu to tease my curiosity just now? turned his head back into Bai Yu's loyal dog? Don't sway too much on the wall, Mu Ying.
