Similar to Jingzhaoyin's Mansion, today's Yonghe Yamen has also been idle for several years, and the officials in the Yamen have been decreasing, and they are looking for other errands to make a living. Therefore, there are fewer and fewer people in Yonghe Yamen, and now, only Yonghe County Commander is left, and a few arresters under his hands, as well as a few officials.

Looking at the three Li Xiao who were walking inside, the little girl sighed, and ran helplessly into the yamen, not with Li Xiao and them, but to the backyard and report to the Yonghe County Order.

For the little guy's behavior, Li Xiao didn't stop it, mainly because there was no need to stop it, the purpose of their trip was not to see the Yonghe County Decree who was busy "handling official business", but the Kamata Department lying in the mortuary of Yonghe Yamen. As for where the mortuary is, Zhou Shu can take it with him, and there is no need to use the people of Yonghe Yamen.

After entering the yamen, go all the way to the right, cross a few moon gates, turn a right-angle bend, and see a closed wooden door, on which a wooden sign is hung, and the word "mortuary" is written on it. Stepping forward, he gently pushed open the unlocked mortuary, and was greeted by a cool air, mixed with a disgusting smell of corruption. It's also summer, and even a mortuary with extremely heavy yin qi can't suppress the decay of the corpse. But fortunately, the temperature in the mortuary is low, and it doesn't stink.

Li Xiao took a piece of black cloth handed over by Zhou Shu, tied it tightly to his mouth and nose, glanced back at Chu Chu, and saw the latter's firm eyes, so he could only shake his head and walk inside.

Entering the mortuary, it is a long downward corridor, on both sides are a few oil lamps with green light, the stone steps are a little slippery, look at random, there are a few dark green moss, it seems that the people of Liyong and Yamen do not like to take care of the mortuary on weekdays. Also, in a place like a mortuary, few people would want to set foot in it, except for the occasional visit.

I don't know how long I walked, but the lights on both sides dimmed a lot, but the air around me was a lot colder.

Li Xiao's wound felt the constant coldness around him, and he couldn't help but sting. With a muffled grunt, he moved his left shoulder slightly and continued to walk inside.

The further you go inside, the more you can feel the low temperature and the dim light around you.

"Ahem." Li Xiao leaned against the wall and coughed lightly. His current state is indeed not suitable for such a toss, and the humidity in the mortuary is heavy, which is extremely uncomfortable for his body. The air around them was even more turbid, melting into the candlelight glowing green, which made people feel dizzy.

"Childe is it okay? Or you wait outside, and I'll take a look for you. Zhou Shuyi walked over and placed a candle beside Li Xiao, bringing some warmth.

Li Xiao felt the faint warmth in front of him, and his luck eased. Waving his hand, he said, "It's still holding on, let's go on." ”

Since Li Xiao said so, Zhou Shuyi couldn't say anything, turned around and continued to walk inside. Chu Chu knew Li Xiao's temper, so he didn't say much, stepped forward, hugged Li Xiao's hand, and helped him forward.

Feeling the soft feeling on her arm, Li Xiao subconsciously shrank back, but the little girl grabbed it tightly and was difficult to pull away, so she could only spy on the rapid development of the little girl while enjoying the comfort of this tickle.

"Hey, don't sleep." After taking a few steps inside, Zhou Shuqian kicked the man who was lying on the wooden table and was asleep.

"Huh?" He snorted, got up lazily, looked at the three people behind him sleepily, and said in a dumb voice: "Who are you, how did you trespass into the mortuary of Yonghe Yamen." ”

Looking at the appearance of the servant, Li Xiaoxin said that this Yonghe Yamen is really idle, the county order prostitutes in the backyard, sleeping by the door of the yamen, the most interesting thing is that this work, sleeping in the shade of the mortuary, can sleep in this kind of place, this person is also a big heart. Rao is that he has always felt uncomfortable here, and his heart is constantly worried.

He rubbed his eyes, and in the dim light, he revealed an old face, the hair on his temples had already been eroded by the years, all of them were gray, and around his eyes, there were several dull marks eroded by corpse qi, which looked extremely weird.

"Sir, we want to go in and see something." Li Xiao said with a smile.

"It's full of dead people, what's there to see." He yawned and squinted at Li Xiao, but the latter was covered with a black cloth and couldn't see his face clearly. Shaking his head, he continued: "You guys better go, brother boy with fine skin and tender meat, why do you want to go to such a place." ”

Zhou Shuyi looked at Li Xiao, smiled awkwardly, and said to Qi Zuo: "Don't talk nonsense, take us in." ”

At this time, he saw Zhou Shuyi clearly, mainly because Zhou Shuyi was standing aside at the beginning, and the person he saw was Li Xiao with Chu Chu, and he did not mainly go to Zhou to join the army who was holding the lamp on the side.

"It turned out that Zhou joined the army, I said it earlier, let's go." He got up quickly, took the key from the table, walked to the door, and waved his hand to signal Li Xiao and the three of them to enter.

Li Xiao stood in front of the door, and suddenly, a burst of cold air rushed out of it, causing the temperature around him to drop rapidly, making Li Xiao subconsciously shrink his body.

"Don't be surprised, my lord, the place where the corpse is stored is naturally colder." He stood aside and explained with a smile.

Li Xiao knew the truth, so he didn't say anything, but walked in with a step. Zhou Shuyi patted the work and followed. It's the same, the adults above came to investigate the case, of course they had to follow, rubbed their hands, and walked in.

The interior of the mortuary was dimly lit, with only one or two candles flickering faintly. Zhou Shuyi smiled and ran away skillfully, several candles that were extinguished one by one.

After a while, the mortuary brightened up, revealing the fat corpse lying in the middle.

Frowning, Li Xiao endured the oncoming corrupt breath, and then walked inside. Walking to the body lying in the middle, Li Xiao squinted and looked at it for a moment.

This corpse is the Kamata family, which has been dead for several days. The heavy rain for several days and the unique temperature of the mortuary made the corpses of the Kamata system relatively intact, except for a few places where there were no obvious corpse spots, there was nothing else.

"But this person is what you want to see?" He rubbed the tip of his nose and said.

The little girl glanced at it from a distance, then hid behind Li Xiao, clutched Li Xiao's clothes tightly, and couldn't stop trembling.

Li Xiao didn't speak, touched Chu Chu's little head, calmed the little girl's uneasy heart, and then took out a pair of thin gloves, put them on and walked around the Kamata Department, and looked at them carefully.

Judging from Kamata's face, it is not painful, the expression is relaxed, it is very natural, and there is no sign of stiffness. After going around left and right, no obvious wounds were found, which can rule out the situation of being killed by weapons. If you look closely, you can't find a small, needle-like wound, which should not be a secret calculation. Looking around the eye sockets, there were no traces of poisoning except for a few corpse spots. It's very strange, if it weren't for being plotted, stabbed, and poisoned, could it be that it was really overindulged and killed? But when Kamata was in Suzhou, he visited the major kilns and died of overindulgence, which did not make Li Xiao believe, but there was no trace of his murder on the surface, which puzzled him.

"If he didn't kill him, then why did Yu Kangzhi deliberately talk about the right minister." Li Xiao walked around the stone platform, thinking to himself.

"Have you checked it?" Li Xiao asked at the priest.

But it's a pity that he just shook his head and said with a bitter face: "The mortuary has been so idle all these years, and suddenly there is a 'guest', and it is still a person who no one has received, so I just let it go, waiting for it to be buried......"

"That's how you guys?" Zhou Shu couldn't help frowning when he heard this. The yamen below has indeed been abandoned over the years, but this is not a reason for them not to do things, this corpse has been here for so many days, and it has been left alone, even if it is usually ignored, it is still treated like this in this situation now, I am really not afraid that the nobles above will blame it?

"Zhou Senjun is angry, don't we have no manpower, otherwise it's so ......" said with a smile.

Looking at the two, Li Xiao smiled faintly and did not speak. Li Xiao was not surprised by the inaction against the corpse of the Kamata system, but was in a hurry to dispose of the corpse, and Li Xiao felt that there was a problem.

"Zhou joins the army, help me turn the body over." Li Xiao said.

Zhou Shu listened, handed over the candle lamp in his hand, trotted over, and struggled to support Kamata's fat body. It can be seen that during the time when Kamata was in Beijing, he lived very comfortably, enjoying big fish and meat, but unfortunately he didn't live. This can't be blamed on others, moths to the fire, complaining about the ruthlessness of the fire.

"Wait." Just as Zhou Shuyi was about to turn over Kamata Tie, Li Xiao suddenly stopped.

Walking to the side, following the candlelight, Li Xiao seemed to see a palm print on the back of Kamata, which was very faint, and if you didn't look carefully, I was afraid it would be difficult to find. Of course, Li Xiao also tried his luck, and it happened that the candlelight was shining, and it happened to be inadvertently discovered by Li Xiao.

"Put it down." Li Xiao waved his hand and motioned for Zhou Shuyi to put the body down, while he went to the candlelight and looked at it carefully.

Under the light, Li Xiao slowly put his hand on the palm print, and found that the owner's hand of this palm print is not big, it is a little thin, it seems to be a woman's hand, and there is a clear difference between the middle finger, thumb and the other three fingers, as for the difference, I always feel like I am used to the appearance of orchid fingers.

"What did Childe find?" Zhou Shuyi took the candle lamp in Li Xiao's hand and asked softly.

Li Xiao didn't speak, his face was solemn, he leaned closer, and followed the position of the palm print, comparing the front of Kamata.

It happens to be the part of the heart that is located.

Frowning, Li Xiao put his fingers on Kamata's heart, closed his eyes and didn't speak for a long time.

Looking at Li Xiao's appearance, Zhou Shuyi and Qi Zuo were very puzzled, they didn't know what was going on, why Li Xiao's face suddenly became so solemn, but did they find anything. But the two of them didn't find anything in common.

However, Chu Chu didn't pay attention to these, she just wanted her young master to leave this place quickly, the yin qi around her made her very uncomfortable, the young master had just woken up, and it must be very uncomfortable in this environment.

For a while, there was not the slightest sound in the mortuary, and no one dared to make a sound, for fear of disturbing the young man standing in the middle and causing any bad results.

"Ahh
