Chapter 276: Floating Corpse
Chapter 276: Floating Corpses
Sitting at the dinner table, Mu Qianxun yawned widely, his eyelashes were a little wet, his deep eyes were full of confusion, and he was wearing a loose white shirt.
Anyway, there are no guests patronizing this Ling Xun Xiaozhu, Mu Qianxun is used to being casual, and it is rare to see her neatly dressed and virtuous.
Since Helian Zhuofan had to stay in bed for 100 days because of his work against her, no one dared to disobey Mu Qianxun's words and enter this main house without permission.
In the final analysis, it was Helian Zhuofan who made Mu Qianxun's ears unclean, without him, who would dare to be so presumptuous, Mu Qianxun's trick to kill chickens and monkeys was wonderful.
Seeing that there are only five days left in the January period, everyone can breathe a sigh of relief, which is a relief for everyone.
For Mu Qianxun and them, they don't have to be on guard every day, they are careful in everything, they can't trust Helian Rui's two subordinates, and they can't trust Yutai Haoji.
For the three of them, they can finally get rid of this kind of "slave and maid" days, although Mu Qianxun didn't ask them to serve much, but they still felt physically and mentally exhausted every moment they stayed here.
As soon as the two girls of Qianning and Qianyan brought the meal, before they had eaten two bites, they heard the sound of Zi Sang's laughter at the door.
Mu Qianxun smiled bitterly and knelt on the table, complaining that Zisang Xiao was really ghostly, but he guessed a rough idea in his heart.
He must have come to tell them that no palace maid died yesterday, and barely survived, and that there were all signs, that is, people were still alive.
But this seems to be Mu Qianxun's imagination, and it was a good dream that Mu Qianxun had yesterday.
Zisang smiled a lot, but something was wrong today, his face was strangely dignified, and he went straight to the point as soon as he opened his mouth:
"Last night, there was no hanged maid in any palace, but there was a maid missing in the early morning in the Senno Palace. ”
In the first half of the sentence, in Mu Qianxun's expectations, in the second half of the sentence, Mu Qianxun was a little drumming in his heart, what does it mean to be missing, could it be that the little palace maid was really frightened and found a place to hide.
Unable to allow Mu Qianxun to have too many guesses, Zisang smiled and continued Fang Cai's words and spoke again:
Later, some palace people found that in the Yangchuan Lake near the Senno Temple, tied to the weeping willows by the lake, was a blood-red silk that was broken and pulled into a pimple.
At the other end of the blood-red aya was a heavy object that wanted to float to the water, and he dared to pull forward and find that it was a corpse.
After comparison, this corpse was the missing palace maid in the Senno Temple.
The blood-red silk was wrapped around the neck, and the neck was broken raw, and when it was fished up, the head hung limply on the ground, and the skin was soaked and white. ”
Mu Qianxun really couldn't hide the horror in her heart, the fist in her sleeve was clenched, if it weren't for Zi Sangxiao's presence, she would definitely punch the table.
Last night was a waste of work, I thought that the person was not caught, at least they saved one person, but I never thought that the opponent would be so rampant.
Do you think they are too weak and don't take them seriously, and dare to go and return after they leave, and kill people again.
Zisang Xiao hasn't seen Mu Qianxun have such obvious fluctuations recently, and every time he comes to tell her, she is faint and unheard.
The light that popped up in his eyes really made him uneasy, and he didn't know where he angered her, and he was about to retire, but he was stopped by Mu Qianxun.
Zisang was stunned, and looked at Mu Qianxun in confusion, only to see Mu Qianxun hurriedly tie up his hair, hang his sword around his waist, and pat him on the shoulder:
"Let's go, come with me to see the body of the palace maid!"
Zisang couldn't react after laughing for a long time, looking at Mu Qianxun and Mu Youchen, who had already gone out, and hurriedly followed.
I couldn't help but slander, why did this county lord suddenly become interested, could it be that this county lord has a soft spot for floating corpses, he didn't feel that his remarks just now, where can he be interested.
The Governor Hall was not close to Ling Xun Xiaozhu, their speed was more than twice as fast as usual, Zi Sang Xiao became more and more puzzled in his heart, Mu Qianxun's kung fu was far inferior to him, he was still a woman, how could he run like this, he felt hard to follow.
In front of the Senno Palace, there is a pair of wooden stretchers, and the outline of a human figure is faintly visible under the white cloth.
Mu Qianxun stood in front of the stretcher, and after everyone saluted, they dispersed in a hurry, looking at Mu Qianxun's strange expression, they were afraid of getting into trouble, and they had to avoid this unruly county lord far away.
Mu Qianxun leaned over and lifted the white cloth, the familiar face of the little palace maid came into view, her face was full of horror, her head fell on the stretcher, and she didn't bat a glance.
Mu Qianxun seems to have done this kind of action many times, overlapping with her memory, and her heart has mixed feelings, is it that everywhere she goes, death is inevitable, and disasters are inevitable.
When the corpse cloth of Sanskrit was lifted, the heartache was indescribable, in addition to hatred or hate, speaking of which, Sanskrit's death is really a little similar to this little palace maid.
Then there are Mu Rufeng and Duan Meng, there is no love and hatred, nothing to do with joy and sorrow, but I feel happy from the bottom of my heart, and it is a wonderful feeling to watch the people who hurt her leave one by one.
His gaze swept over the little palace maid without dropping, and he suddenly suffocated, staying on the fist she was clenching tightly.
The jade finger touched her cold fingers, and she shivered all over, and she couldn't break half a point with all her strength, but she still begged Mu Youchen for help before she pried the finger away.
The empty palm made Mu Qianxun feel disappointed, I don't know what this little palace maid was thinking, she didn't catch anything, and she was holding it so tightly, which made her happy.
Even a small tip of cloth is enough to prove that this is not done by ghosts, but by man-made, but now, she is really helpless.
The little insect that flew from nowhere swept past the tip of Mu Qianxun's nose, Mu Qianxun subconsciously stretched out his hand and patted it, but he didn't put it down for a long time, his eyes flashed.
Mu Youchen frowned, propped her elbow on Mu Qianxun's shoulder, leaned close to her ear, and whispered:
"What's the matter, ma'am, the ghost is on the body?"
Mu Qianxun rolled his eyes widely, and handed his wet hand to Mu Youchen's nose, excited:
"Do you smell anything?"
"A scent, a complex floral aroma, presumably mixed with other spices. ”
Mu Youchen took a deep sniff of Mu Qianxun's fingertips, and responded without thinking, there was one thing he didn't say, that is, this fragrance was familiar.
Mu Qianxun put down her hand, and the smile on the corner of her mouth grew, this fragrance is very exquisite, how can a little palace maid afford it, and she has never smelled this smell from the little palace maid.
And this smell must have come from the hands of the little palace maid, and it was left when she was entangled with the murderer, and she soaked in the lake all night, and it lasted for a long time.
Zisang smiled, and sent a coroner to examine this little palace maid to see where the cause of her death was. ”
Mu Qianxun took out the handkerchief pinned to his waist, wiped it in the palm of the little palace maid, put it in front of his nose and smelled it, and then placed it satisfactorily, carefully, as if he was holding some treasure.
Zisang smiled with a chill in his heart, Mu Qianxun really had some unknown habits, and he was a little reluctant to find the autopsy, and blurted out:
"Is this necessary, whether this palace maid was strangled and thrown into the lake, or drowned and had her head screwed off, it was all done by ghosts, and the coroner could see what kind of fame she had. ”
Mu Qianxun sneered, of course it is necessary, as soon as this coroner comes out, some people are bound to be suspicious, the authenticity of this haunting is controversial, and it will be even more sensational after she catches the "ghost"!
"Whether it's necessary or not, it's the county lord who has the final say, and you don't count if you say it.
Also, because you are still a martial arts practitioner, you even believe in these nonsense things, you really have such a great ability to be a ghost!"
Mu Qianxun scolded with a cold face, and his domineering eyes seemed to be about to pierce a hole in Zisang Xiao's body.
Seeing Yechen getting closer and closer to him, she was powerless to stop it, and she couldn't stop it, every time she thought of this, she was upset and wanted to give Zisang a smile.
She couldn't even tell if Zi Sangxiao was sincere to Ye Chen, but she could clearly see Zi Sangxiao's loyalty to Helian Rui.
"What the county lord said is that the county lord forgives the sin, and his subordinates will go!"
As long as he encounters Mu Qianxun's look, he can't resist it, it is said that his temperament is not easy to get along with, but how did he get to Mu Qianxun, he became obedient!
asked Zi Sang Xiao to call the autopsy, but also to break up Zi Sang Xiao, as long as it was something that Zi Sang Xiao saw, it was a big matter of a fingernail, he would tell Helian Rui Jue word for word.
There is a spy by her side, still in the name of protecting her, I really don't know what Helian Rui thinks, since she doesn't trust her, and she is trapped in this palace to do something, she is too lazy to care about this bunch of.
Just now, Mu Qianxun found that the little palace maid was not only clenched with her fists, but also her lips were pursed, and her cheekbones bulged out, which was obviously caused by clenching her teeth.
The little palace maid looked so timid yesterday, but she didn't expect to be so stubborn, maybe she was too scared before dying twice in one night, so she struggled desperately.
It was much harder to pry her teeth open than to pry her fists, and her gums were about to crush.
Where Mu Qianxun pinched, there was an obvious depression, obviously last night's murderer had also been like them, intending to pry open the little palace maid's mouth.
Finally, a small and delicate black skull ring was found under her tongue, and after wiping it clean, it also carried the strange fragrance of the little palace maid's palm.
Mu Qianxun put the ring in her purse, looked at the little palace maid's almost deformed mouth, and secretly screamed that it was not good.
It is not difficult to restore the mouth of the little palace maid to the appearance when Zisang smiled, but the coroner will definitely find something strange in it.
However, even if Zi Sangxiao wanted to break his head, he couldn't imagine what they wanted to open the little palace maid's mouth, so let him guess slowly.
As everyone knows, in Zi Sangxiao's heart, he has been ingrained in the belief that Mu Qianxun has a special fetish for corpses, and if he pries his mouth open, maybe he will think of it again.
