Chapter 304: Gua Po's Trickery

In an instant, Chen Shengxiao had already thought about countless possibilities to get out, and finally made up his mind, gritted his teeth and said: "The autopsy is okay, but the grass people have one condition." ”

"What conditions?" Mo Kunlun asked with an eyebrow.

"The Gua Po of the land temple in the county is known as a half-immortal, and the grass people hope that the Gua Po will be present at that time to appease the soul of the lowly, after all, the opening of the coffin and the autopsy will disturb the peace of the deceased. ”

Shen and Song glanced at each other, and they both saw the meaning of bamboo in each other's eyes.

Mo Kunlun coughed lightly and said, "In this case, how can this official bear to spoil your infatuation, let that Gua Po watch from the side." ”

"The grass people thanked you. Chen Shengxiao bowed deeply, and a line of murder crossed his lowered eyes.

The next day was gloomy, with layers of dark clouds hanging over the air, and the howling wind rattling the leaves as if it were about to rain at any moment.

The post-mortem site was next to Mrs. Chen's grave, and a shed was erected in the open space as a temporary post-mortem site. Due to the darkness of the sky, many candles were lit in the shed for lighting.

Long Xi (Song Xi) and Zhao Kuo and other cadres were all present, and Gongsun Wuming (Yan Lichuan) was sent by Zhao Kuo to other places, so he was absent. The county guard appointed Wei Chi Jing to watch, after all, this was a re-examination, and as the chief officer of the place where the crime occurred, he needed to avoid suspicion.

Chen Shengxiao was supported by his subordinates and stood in the corner of the shed, next to him was a thin woman in her fifties, dressed in homespun clothes, with an embroidered bouquet tied to her forehead, and her small, round eyes were cloudy.

The trappers had already dug up the grave and removed the coffin, and then covered their noses and laid the body on a wooden board in the shed.

In the brazier in the shed, Zhu Xingyi had already ordered people to burn things such as atractylodes, soaphorns, and defilement pills to remove filth gas, and distributed Suhe incense pills to everyone and let everyone hold them in their mouths.

Rao was so, the stench still made the people present frown and cover their noses, and the catchers quickly escaped from the shed after putting down the corpse, and stood far away.

Long Xi (Song Xi) also felt the stench was incomparable, and almost ran out with the catcher, but the reason why she wanted to run was more because of Mrs. Chen's charred and terrible corpse than because of the corpse smell.

But this autopsy was related to the progress of the case, so she stayed after a fierce ideological struggle, and she was also very curious about what Zhu Xingyi could find out in the face of such an unrecognizable corpse without the help of those chemical reagents and precision instruments?

Chen Shengxiao and a few servants shrank in the corner, their eyes flickering at the corpse, while Gua Po shook her head with her eyes closed, and muttered something in her mouth.

Only Zhao Kuo and Mo Kunlun looked as usual, as if the smell of corpses had no effect on them, and they all stared at Zhu Xingyi's every move.

After Zhu Xingyi made preparations, he said to Zhao Kaizhi (Mo Kun): "It's started." The latter nodded, picked up a pen and paper, and prepared to take notes.

Zhu Xingyi's movements were like flowing water, his eyebrows and eyes were full of seriousness, even in the face of such a terrifying corpse, he did not see the slightest panic, and his slender ten fingers with white gloves moved on the corpse in an orderly manner, as if he was not performing an autopsy but carving a work of art.

"The deceased was about 40 years old, and the time of death was about 3:00 o'clock in the evening of the 5th day, and the place of discovery was the east wing of the Chen Mansion. The deceased suffered severe burns on the skin all over his body, and his hands and feet were curled up, and it was initially suspected that the cause of death was burning. The deceased's bones were intact and there were no signs of injury. Zhu Xingyi kept moving, and calmly told his discovery sentence by sentence.

Zhao Kaizhi (Mo Kun) wrote down his words word for word.

As Zhu Xingyi reported them one by one, even the servants of the Chen Mansion who did not know how to conduct an autopsy understood that his wife was indeed burned to death.

Hearing this, Chen Shengxiao's eyes showed a look of relief. Everyone looked at Zhu Xingyi, and no one noticed his abnormality, except for Mo Kunlun.

About half an hour later, Zhu Xingyi had completed all the tests, and when he was about to take off his gloves, he suddenly seemed to think of something, took two steps forward and turned the head of the corpse, and a smile bloomed at the corner of his mouth: "There is no dust in the mouth and nose of the deceased, Zhao Kaizhi (Mo Kun), the record just now should have been changed." The deceased was burned by fire after death, and the cause of death was not fire. ”

One sentence caught the attention of everyone in the shed.

Zhao Kaizhi (Mo Kun) immediately brushed down when he heard this, and Chen Shengxiao's face turned pale instantly.

"Since it wasn't a fire, what was the cause of Mrs. Chen's death?" Mo Kunlun stepped forward and looked at his friend.

Zhu Xingyi smiled, took out half of the golden hairpin, pointed to the position of the corpse's heart, and was about to say something, when the Gua Po in the corner suddenly jumped out with her legs straight, closed her eyes and shook her head, and said gloomily: "You people, why do you disturb my peace!"

Everyone was shocked, not knowing what this old woman meant. Long Xi (Song Xi) was even more frightened and took two steps back, away from Gua Po and the corpse, she didn't believe in ghosts and gods before, but now she even encountered the matter of crossing, and atheism was not so unswerving in her heart.

"Madam, madam, is it you?" Chen Shengxiao suddenly broke free of the servant's support, stepped forward in three steps and two steps, grabbed Gua Po's arm, and shouted with wide eyes, "Madam, have you come back to see your husband?"

"Get out of here, you unfortunate man!" Gua Po waved him away, still with his eyes closed, his legs jumping like zombies, his dry and wrinkled hands pointed at Chen Shengxiao, and his tone was grim, "I have a grudge in my heart, I don't blink my eyes to death, and I finally settle down in the ground, why do you want to bring outsiders to disturb me again!"

"Is it a ghost?" said someone in the corner.

As soon as these words came out, the servants turned pale with fright, and ran out of the shed as if they were flying, and stood with the servants tremblingly.

"Madam, the husband didn't mean to do this, it's really them, they force people too much! They said that they will help you find the real murderer, they will wash away your grievances for you, and they will be talented and ...... for your husband" Chen Shengxiao trembled and pointed at Mo Kunlun and the others, and complained with tears in his eyes, "Send you back immediately, immediately, you, don't be angry!"

After speaking, he hurriedly shouted: "Come on, come on, bury the body of the lady back!"

However, the servants were all frightened, and did not dare to approach the shed, and no one paid attention to him even if he cut his throat.

"What else do you have to quibble!" Gua Po suddenly roared, jumped in front of Chen Shengxiao, stretched out her hands and grabbed his neck, and roared fiercely, "Since you don't want me to live in peace, then you can come and accompany me!"

Seeing that Chen Shengxiao couldn't break free, his face began to turn purple, and everyone reacted. Mo Kunlun hurriedly glanced at Wei Chi Jing, who immediately rushed forward, and a small grappler wanted to subdue Gua Po. Who would have thought that Gua Po looked thin, but her movements were extremely flexible, and as soon as her wrist flipped, she broke out of his control, and moved her hands to Zhu Xing, who was standing aside.

Zhu Xing hurriedly dodged sideways, but because he didn't know martial arts, his posture of falling down was really ugly.

Wei Chijing had a moment of disbelief, this Gua Po is also a celebrity in Chaoyun County, I have never heard that she knows martial arts, how can she get rid of his constraints just now, is there really a ghost on the body?

But the duty of catching fast made him not dwell on this matter for too long, no matter whether the other party was a human or a ghost, she couldn't hurt anyone. Seeing that Gua Po wanted to attack Zhu Xingyi again, he hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.

Gua Po dodged Wei Chijing's attack, stood firm, raised her finger again and pointed at the people opposite, and said, "None of you can escape today, haha!"

The poignant voice seemed to be a resentful evil ghost coming to ask for his life, which made people feel chilled for no reason.

At this time, the dark clouds outside the shed were rolling, thunder and lightning were flickering in the clouds, and the dull sound seemed to hit everyone's heart, and the sky had completely darkened. The howling cold wind made the candle flame sway, and everyone's faces were also cloudy in the bright and extinguishing light, which deepened the cold air in the shed.

Seeing this, everyone hurriedly took two steps back, lest Gua Po pounce on anyone again. Mo Kunlun picked up Zhu Xingyi and retreated to the corner with Zhao Kuo. Chen Shengxiao gasped and was supported by Zhao Kaizhi (Mo Kun), and also stood with the large army, his muddy old eyes were full of misery.

Long Xi (Song Xi) unconsciously grabbed his collar and looked at this strange scene, his eyes were round, and he didn't dare to come out.

Could it be that there is really a ghost in this world?

Otherwise, how can you explain that this old woman, who looks thin and thin, and has her eyes closed all the time, can actually avoid Wei Chijing's attack?

"You!" Gua Po suddenly moved her fingers and roared fiercely, "It's you, you stinky girl, it's not you pretending to be a ghost, how could I be killed by thieves!"

Long Xi (Song Xi) was startled, took a step back, waved his hand again and again, and said, "It's not me, it's not me!"

Gua Po didn't care so much at all, and pounced on her with straight legs.

Zhao Kuo happened to be standing beside Long Xi (Song Xi), and when he saw this, he hurriedly pulled her up and threw her to Mo Kunlun's side, and then shot like electricity, grabbed Gua Po's wrist, and threw the person out with his strength.

Mo Kunlun caught Long Xi (Song Xi), saw that her face was pale, and asked, "Are you okay?" ”

"No, it's fine. Long Xi (Song Xi) shook his head, stood firm beside him, and stared at the strange Gua Po with palpitations, and the fear in his heart added another layer. Looking at the men in the shed, they were all suspicious, she could only comfort herself over and over again, there could be no ghosts or gods, it must be Gua Po who made it strange, there are so many people here, there will be no problem, there will be no problem.

Rao was like this, her heart was still beating faster and faster, cold sweat was oozing from her palms, and fear was spreading in her heart like crazy weeds.

After experiencing such a strange thing as crossing over, she couldn't say for sure that those strange things were all for nothing.

Mo Kunlun looked at her deeply, didn't speak again, only felt that his coat was twisted tighter and tighter by a small hand.

With a bang, the candles on the desk were hit and rolled to the ground, and the candle flames that had been fluctuating for most of the time disappeared suddenly, and the shed was much darker.
