Chapter 24: The Truth

Huiguang first silently recited a mantra to the corpse, and then began to get a piece of frozen fuzi from the corpse and put it in his hand to observe it carefully.

Seeing Huiguang carefully observing the internal organs, Di Qingxiu frowned slightly, almost vomited, and hurriedly left the firewood room.

For biological research, Li Canghai couldn't help, so he simply stood in front of the corpse and observed the corpse's head.

He had always had a doubt, that is, the real cause of the deceased's death.

After all, the Xuanbing Gu Worm was very rare, he didn't believe that a domestic servant would have such a rare thing, so the real cause of death was probably still on the deceased.

There were no injuries on the deceased's body, which he and the husband had examined.

For a long time, Li Canghai was at a loss for the way the deceased died, until he heard that one of the nails originally used to repair the beams of the house had been lost, which reminded him of some strange murder methods.

Before doing so, Li Canghai had re-examined the corpse and found a blood stain the size of a fingernail on the corpse's skull, which allowed him to confirm the true cause of death of the deceased.

While thinking about it, Huiguang had already checked the Gu worms.

He washed his hands and recited the Buddha's name: "Donor, after being identified by the little monk, this insect is indeed the 'Xuanbing Gu Worm', this kind of Gu worm grows in the icy land of the extreme north, and has always used dead corpses as hosts. However, as far as the monk knew, there was no such Gu worm in the Central Plains. ”

Li Canghai's eyes lit up, and he said in surprise: "The master is saying that this Gu worm only entered his body after he died?" ”

"Although these Gu worms can penetrate the skin of living people, they cannot penetrate the skin of dead people, and they use their skin as a barrier against temperature, so that they can survive inside the corpse. There were no traces of Gu worm penetration on the deceased's body, and in the opinion of the little monk, these were thought to have entered the corpse's abdomen from the mouth. Huiguang recited the Buddha's name in a low voice.

"With the master's words, I feel at ease." Li Canghai spat out turbidity, Huiguang's words gave him a reassuring pill, and it also explained from the side that the real cause of death of the deceased was not caused by Gu worms.

At this time, nearly an hour had passed, and Li Canghai felt that the time was almost up, so he greeted everyone again.

"Tianzun, now that an hour has passed, I don't know where the evidence you are talking about?" Li Er seemed to feel that Li Canghai was deliberately delaying time, and there was no real evidence, and his courage gradually grew.

Li Canghai sneered at him a few times, and said lightly: "The evidence is on top of the corpse." ”

He lifted the straw mat, ripped off the clothes that covered the corpse's skull, and shaved the hair off the skull with a razor.

At this time, everyone found that there was a bruise in the middle of the corpse's head.

Li Canghai used a knife to release bruises, and a finger-thick wound suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

Then, something frightened the crowd happened.

Li Canghai used tweezers to clip out an iron nail at the wound, an iron nail more than three inches long and as long as a finger!

Everyone gasped, even Liang Xiu, who had always been calm, was stunned, and his mouth was long.

"Nail into the cranial cavity with a red-hot iron nail, this kind of burning nail nails, no wounds, no bleeding, very clever killing methods."

Li Canghai held the iron nail and said coldly: "If it weren't for the many inspections of the corpse in this seat, perhaps no one would ever know the real cause of death of the deceased. ”

Everyone was shocked on the spot by such a cruel method, and Li Er's courage that he had forcibly mustered before was also sluggish at this time.

Li Canghai put the iron nail in front of Li Er and shook it, and said, "Do you still want to deny it?" Burning red nails requires a fire, and the evidence can be ascertained by asking who has recently been to the kitchen and used the stove. ”

After a pause, he said, "After you killed people with red-hot iron nails, you moved the body into the ice room, yes or no?" ”

Li Er's psychology was constantly attacked by Li Canghai with words, and when Li Canghai said this, the defense line in his heart suddenly collapsed, and he knelt on the ground with a puff.

"I recruit, I recruit all. Di Gong was pretended to be by me, and he was also killed by me. I was only in a moment of delusion, blinded by lard, to do such things. Li Er knelt on the ground and wept silently.

"Bring in what you have done, 1510!" Li Canghai flicked his sleeves and shouted.

"He's the old man's new servant, and he only came to Di Mansion about a month ago. The two of us share a room, and we don't have a rough relationship on weekdays. Until that night, the old man said that he saw Di Gongying's soul, and since then, I have found that he often sneakily wanders around the clan hall in the middle of the night. ”

Li Er was in a cold sweat, he was already on the verge of collapse, how dare he hide half a sentence.

"One night, I found out that he had quietly stolen something from it while he was planning the clan hall. While he was asleep, I discovered his secret, and it turned out that what he had stolen was actually the Three Divine Decrees. ”

Hearing this, Li Canghai's brows furrowed slightly, "You mean, those three holy decrees were actually stolen by him?" ”

"Exactly. At first, I didn't care, but then I found out that there was a secret hidden in those three decrees. ”

"Secret? What secret? Li Canghai hurriedly asked, his intuition told him that this secret must not be simple.

Li Er hesitated a little, and after a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "One of the holy decrees has a treasure recorded in invisible words!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.

"What treasure?" Liang Xiu's heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked.

Li Er shook his head and said, "The little one doesn't know what kind of treasure it is, but he only knows that if he gets the treasure, he can own the world." The little one was greedy for a moment, so while he was asleep, he nailed him to death with a red-hot iron nail, and then put him in the ice room. ”

Li Canghai and Liang Xiu glanced at each other, then calmed down and let Li Er continue.

"In order to continue my search for the treasure, I remembered Di Gong's apparition, so I decided to pretend to be Di Gong. First, to create panic so that everyone can't take care of the lack of a servant, and second, to go to the clan hall to find relevant objects with peace of mind. In addition, I made some accidents from time to time, which made everyone think that it was really Di Gongying's soul, and no one paid attention to the existence of the newcomer. ”

Li Er paused, his breathing became short, and he continued: "Until last night, the mage said that he wanted to catch ghosts, and in order to convince everyone that it was the heroic soul who did the trick, I co-staged a scene with others. Indeed, as Tianzun said, after I jumped out of the window, I did not leave, but returned to the clan hall and hid. ”

"I'm asking you, if he's been dead for some time, why did 'I' see him before I hunted ghosts?" Li Canghai frowned, this has always been a problem that has plagued him, and it is precisely because of this that he mistakenly thinks that the deceased had just died at that time.

Li Er took out two masks from his arms and said, "Because the mage is a newcomer, in order not to make the mage suspicious, I brought his human skin mask. ”
