Chapter 142: The Truth
Ye Aoxue frowned lightly and asked with some hesitation, "...... this corpse?"
Chu Litian glanced back, sighed, and said, "Well, a big hole was opened in the chest, and the heart was taken out. ”
"Such a small palace maid, who has such a big grudge against her, it's not enough to kill someone, you have to dig out your heart?" Ye Aoxue asked puzzled.
"There is no way to draw conclusions for the time being, and people have blocked the news, and not a trace of information is allowed to leak out, so as not to cause panic." Chu Litian shook his head and said a little helplessly, "The people below came to report, saying that this little palace maid is very popular on weekdays, and she doesn't look like she has any enemies." ”
Ye Aoxue looked at Chu Litian and looked at it for a while before she spoke, "You didn't seem to have slept well last night. ”
Chu Litian was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly, and said: "I slept all night last night, but I don't know what's going on, when I got up this morning, I felt very tired all over my body, as if I had slept in vain last night." ”
His eyes were slightly bloodshot, and there was a faint blue under his eyes, which did not look like he had slept all night.
"Since you feel tired, go back and rest more, I'll watch it for you here." Ye Aoxue smiled slightly and said softly.
Chu Litian shook his head: "No, this bloody thing, how can it be ......?"
Ye Aoxue said: "I won't go to see the corpse, I'll listen to their report, and I'll analyze it with you to see if there is anything abnormal." ”
was really tired, so Chu Litian didn't shirk it, told Ye Aoxue to be careful, and went back to rest.
Turning sideways and looking at Chu Litian's departing back, Ye Aoxue's eyes were a little meaningless.
"Master, shall we go over and take a look at the corpse?" Yuan Bao stood beside Ye Aoxue and asked in a low voice.
Ye Aoxue nodded and said, "That's nature." However, Yuanbao, you don't need to be here, go and follow Chu Litian secretly, protect him, if there is anything wrong, come back and tell me immediately. ”
Yuan Bao was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go now." He immediately walked towards the side hall, he knew that if he followed the path that Chu Litian had walked at this time, he would definitely attract the attention of others, and the best way was to pretend to go back to his master's side hall, and then go over the wall to the main hall of Chu Litian's dormitory.
"Miss Ye." Zhou Ping of Dali Temple came over and said to Ye Aoxue, "You are a girl, don't look at these ugly things, the official is afraid that you will be scared." ”
Ye Aoxue smiled slightly: "Thank you for your concern." It's just the sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes, where are they afraid of this? What's more, I have already promised to discuss this case with him, since this is the case, how can I not take a look? ”
Zhou Ping was stunned for a moment, feeling incredulous about Ye Aoxue calling the emperor by his name, and then his face quickly returned to normal, and he smiled wryly. said: "Since this is the case, it is better for the girl to listen to the advice of the official and stand far away to take a look, after all, this corpse has been soaked in the well for too long, and it is ......" He paused, his face was a little ugly, "...... The corpse was too horrible to die, and it was better for the girl not to get too close. ”
Ye Aoxue was puzzled: "How do people die?" Is death really scary? "Actually, you don't need to look at it, Ye Aoxue can also guess that the death of this palace maid should be the same as Chu Yatian, at most, she has been soaked in water for a long time, and it is even more ugly.
It's just that there are a few things that Ye Aoxue still wants to verify on this corpse.
Zhou Ping's face was still ugly, and he suppressed his voice, a little hoarse: "The entire chest has been opened, and the heart is gone." He looked up and saw that the expression on Ye Aoxue's face was a little blank, and he thought she was frightened, so he hurriedly said, "Miss Ye, or you will ......."
Ye Aoxue suddenly spoke, her voice was very calm: "That's why the blood flows so much, so much that it can only be thrown into the well?" ”
Zhou Ping was very shocked by Ye Aoxue's calmness, nodded, and said, "Once the blood flows out, it is easy to attract attention. I think the murderer threw the body into the well just to hide it, but ......" he frowned and said with some puzzlement: "...... But it's still not right, people come to the well every day to fetch water, and throwing it into the well is actually faster to be found, which is why we found the body so quickly this morning. ”
"What if the murderer didn't know that this well was often used?" Ye Aoxue turned her face sideways, looked at Zhou Ping, and said, "Or, the murderer doesn't want to hide people's eyes and ears at all, but wants to make things bigger?" Under these two assumptions, it can be understood. ”
Zhou Ping shook his head and said, "This ...... Although this well is in the emperor's bedroom, it is used by the palace people in the palace on weekdays, so there will be no one who doesn't know that this well is being used, right? ”
The people in the palace know, what if it is outside the palace? Others will only think that the water used by Chu Litian, who is the emperor, is specially supplied by the imperial dining room, and the well in the palace is naturally abandoned, but people who don't know the truth don't know that the well Chu Litian is indeed useless, but it has always been used by the palace people when he was in the palace.
I thought so in my heart, but Ye Aoxue didn't plan to say it, she smiled slightly on her face, and said softly: "My lord is right." ”
Zhou Ping nodded, looking satisfied, but not too proud, so he said: "However, it is not impossible for the murderer you said to want to make a big deal out of it, Miss Ye. ”
"I want to see the corpse." Ye Aoxue was silent for a while, and then suddenly spoke.
Zhou Ping was about to instruct his subordinates to move the body back to Dali Temple, when he suddenly heard Ye Aoxue say this, he stumbled suddenly, and looked back at Ye Aoxue in disbelief: "You...... You...... You said...... Say what? ”
Ye Aoxue's face was calm, and she repeated again: "I want to see the corpse." ”
With an expression on his face like seeing a ghost, Zhou Ping swallowed his saliva and asked, "Miss Ye, are you joking?" "A girl's family, actually said she wanted to see the corpse? Or is it a corpse that is so horrible to die? No matter how bold you are, it's not something you can joke about, right?!
Ye Aoxue looked calm, looked at Zhou Ping, and asked rhetorically: "Lord Zhou, do you think I'm joking?" ”
I'd rather you're actually kidding me!
Zhou Ping wailed in his heart, almost crying. For him, although Ye Aoxue is not famous or famous at this time, but she is the person on the tip of the emperor's heart, where can he dare to resist her words? But if she is allowed to look at such a horrible corpse, if she scares people out of any problems, the emperor will not let him go!
Ye Aoxue didn't plan to grind with him anymore, and walked straight towards the corpse.
Zhou Ping was frightened, and hurriedly followed, just called "Miss Ye", and before a word of persuasion could be spoken, Ye Aoxue had already lifted the big white cloth covering the corpse.
Suddenly, a foul smell came out, forcing Zhou Ping's pace to stop, and he took a small step back, with a miserable expression on his face.
The subordinate hurriedly took a handkerchief and handed it to him, giving him a little bit of the smell that he could tie to his face.
Zhou Ping had a large handkerchief wrapped around his face, and went to look at Ye Aoxue again, but found that she looked at the terrible corpse in front of her as usual, and she didn't seem to feel disgusted at all, and the stench emitted by the corpse didn't seem to have another little effect on her.
The corpse in front of him had been soaked in the well water for too long, and his whole body was swollen, according to common sense, such a corpse should be white, but this one was faintly black, as if it had been poisoned.
Zhou Ping came over slowly, and his voice was a little vague because he was wrapped in a handkerchief: "Miss Ye, do you feel that something is wrong?" This corpse is as if it has been poisoned, and it seems that the water source near here is undrinkable for the time being. ”
Ye Aoxue's gaze fell on the hole that had been dug in her chest, her eyes were calm, and the color of her eyes seemed to become darker and darker.
Zhou Ping thought to himself: "Who is so vicious?" Such a little girl can do it! Even if you take a name, you have to dig out your heart alive, and you have to use poison! It's really crazy......"
"No poisoning." Ye Aoxue said lightly.
Zhou Ping didn't hear clearly, and hurriedly asked, "What?" ”
Ye Aoxue took out a silver needle, pierced it in the blackened place of the corpse, pulled it out, handed it to Zhou Ping, and said, "Look, there is no poisoning. ”
Originally, he was still wondering where Ye Aoxue took out the silver needle, but the next moment, Zhou Ping's attention was attracted by the silver needle handed to him, and the silver needle was still as white as washing, and there was no sign of blackening at all.
Stunned, Zhou Ping looked at the silver needle in disbelief, and muttered, "Actually...... No poisoning? That...... So what is this corpse...... How can it be blackened? ”
Ye Aoxue withdrew the silver needle and said lightly: "How do I know this?" Didn't you test it just now? ”
When Zhou Ping heard this, he immediately got up and walked over to the side.
Ye Aoxue glanced left and right, and immediately quickly sealed the demon poison in his hand, and then silently recited the conjuring spell, and sure enough, there was still no movement at all.
It is exactly the same as the condition of Chu Yatian's corpse!
Poisoned, his heart was gouged out, and his soul was gone.
Obviously, it was the same person who did it.
Ye Aoxue remembered the tiredness on Chu Litian's face just now, and remembered the thunder and lightning that sounded last night.
Standing up, Ye Aoxue had already come to a conclusion.
Zhou Ping walked over again, his face was still ugly, and said to Ye Aoxue: "Miss Ye, I don't know what is going on, I haven't encountered this kind of situation before." Now we want to bring the body back, Miss Ye wants to go with us? ”
