Chapter 0023 Secret
Dexin County is not big, the terrain is facing north and south, and there is no turmoil, because of this gold mine, even if the road is taken all the way at this time, it is also very deserted.
Halfway up the mountain, Li Mo didn't see anyone, he looked at the moonlight sprinkled on the ground, I'm afraid it's not the moon in the middle of the sky, at such an hour, could it be that all the people digging gold have slept?
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, causing Li Mo to tighten his clothes.
After waiting for a while, there was another rush of grass movement. Li Moyi looked around vigilantly and asked, "Who?" ”
Although there was a question, there was no answer, but the sound of grass stopped, and Li Mo couldn't help but feel a little scared in his heart.
In the middle of the night, the three watches were moving, the wind was blowing, and the questions were not answered, which was really weird, and I didn't know which villain.
Suddenly, there was a burst of gloom behind him, Li Mo turned around and fixed his eyes, it was actually a man in blue and white, seeing that Li Mo didn't speak for a long time, he only put his eyes on him, the man arched his fist and saluted and said, "Little demon, I've seen Engong."
Eun Gong?
Li Moyi was stunned one by one, and said suspiciously, "Under Li Moyi, I'm afraid that Brother Tai didn't recognize the wrong person?" ”
The man bowed again, "I have never confessed my mistake, Mr. is the little demon's father." ”
As he spoke, seeing that Li Mo was puzzled, he said again: "Sir, do you remember the blue and white two-tailed fox that was rescued at the foot of the mountain at noon?"
Blue and white twin-tailed fox?
Li Mo hesitated slightly, then nodded, "Yes, I did exchange a bag of steamed buns for a blue and white twin-tailed fox at noon, how do you know?" ”
"That's right, Mr. is the little demon's father."
The man explained, "The little demon is in charge of the jungle within a radius of dozens of miles, and today he was careless, caught a trap, and was caught by the old man, and because at noon, the sun was really hot, and he could not reveal the Taoism. ”
Li Mo came back to his senses, took two steps back, and nodded again, remembering the fox demon who was entangled with Yue'er in the story, could it be the man in front of him?
Seeing the puzzled look on Li Mo's face, the man said, "Don't you believe what the little demon said, sir?"
Li Mo paused and said, "Did you pester a girl named Yue'er in Pinggu County a few days ago?"
The man looked up at Haoyue and said, "Yes, I have a relationship with that girl, how did Mr. know?"
"Since I saved you, can I ask you to stop pestering Yue'er?"
The man paused, arched his hand and said, "Sir saved me from fire and water, since Mr. ordered me, the little demon naturally obeyed."
With that, the man turned around and disappeared. Li Mo stretched his waist and solved the fox demon matter with a bag of steamed buns, which can be regarded as his luck, seeing that it was getting late, he continued to walk towards the mountain.
As soon as Li Mo left, there was a sound of grass moving in the grass on the side again, and the little Taoist priest of Yi Xian came out. The scene that had just happened was really seen by him.
He had gone to the mountains to dig gold overnight, but he happened to come across this scene. I was amazed.
Early the next morning.
Li Mo leaned against a big tree to rest, and came across with a smiling face.
Seeing the person coming, Li Mo didn't feel angry, and remembered the scene yesterday when he kindly answered the question, but was ridiculed by everyone.
"Get out of here, it's annoying to see you, don't force me to beat you with my hands." Li Moyi frowned and scolded.
The little Taoist priest of Yi Xian didn't care about a lot, and brazenly walked over to pull Li Moyi, and smiled: "Xiaodao treats!" Let's go!"
"Okay, then I'll have to eat fresh fish today." Li Moyi's heart jumped, something must be greasy when something goes wrong, Yi Xian flattered Li Moyi so much, he must have something to ask for.
This is what the old man has always instilled in Li Moyi.
Because of this, Li Mo didn't save face for Yi Xian, and he was going to slaughter him directly.
In these years, it is not a simple matter to eat a meal of fresh fish, not to mention a few taels of silver, it is enough to make this Yi Xian feel a pain in the flesh.
Yi Xian's expression stiffened for a moment, and then he squeezed out a smile at Li Mo, gritted his teeth and said with a smile, "Okay...... Fresh fish ......"
Seriously, Li Moyi didn't expect Yi Xian to spend so much money.
It's hard to go up the mountain and fast to get down the mountain.
Half an hour, the two arrived at a restaurant at the foot of the mountain in Dexin County, although Li Moyi hadn't eaten for two meals, he didn't want to be too much of a little Taoist priest of Yixian, and the dishes he ordered were not expensive, so he ordered some ordinary dishes and ordinary fresh fish.
Two plates of steamed buns, a small plate of peanuts, and a plate of yellow croaker, I originally wanted to order another plate of beef to satisfy my cravings, but when Li Mo saw the expression of Yi Xian's little Taoist priest who was almost crying, he relented.
"Hey, what's the matter with me?" Li Moyi was eating yellow croaker, pulled a plate full of peanuts in front of him, put a few peanuts in his mouth, and added: "Time is precious, let's talk about it."
Yi Xian hesitated for a moment, a rare smile appeared on his face, he nodded from Li Mo, leaned over, and whispered. "I saw what happened last night."
Li Moyi's face froze, and he muttered in his heart.
"What do you see?" Li Mo asked.
Yi Xian said: "That fox fairy was respectful to you last night, presumably Li Daxian, you must have some magical powers."
Became a great immortal?
Li Moyi sighed, hesitated, and asked, "What do you want to ask?"
"I got a deal the other day." Yi Xian moved farther away, silent for a long time, and at the same time his face was a little helpless, Yi Xian smiled and shook his head. "Troublesome business."
Yi Xian said, Li Moyi's face became more and more ugly, and he even felt a chill in his back.
According to Yi Xian, a few days ago, he received a deal that said that there had been a murder case in the Nangong family in Dexin County, and that he had been asked to do an autopsy.
Since two years ago, Yi Xian has become a little Taoist. He has seen many dead people in the past two years, but he has never seen such a strange corpse.
The Nangong family is the largest family in Dexin County, and the deceased person is a middle-aged man named Nangong Lin, 45 years old this year, who is the eldest man of the Nangong family. Although he has a prominent status, he is also an ordinary person.
Li Mo remembered the best friend in the story who was good friends with the eldest master of the Ye family, who spread the news that there was a gold mine in Yongshan, and he didn't know if that person was the deceased.
This is an ordinary middle-aged person, but no one would have thought that the death of such an ordinary person would be extraordinary.
According to Yi Xian, when he arrived at the scene and saw the dead body, he almost vomited.
The deceased's abdomen was so large that he could almost put down an arm, and it was a ...... scene
"It's really damn disgusting." Yi Xian couldn't help but scold, his face turned pale, "The dead man didn't show any signs of being murdered by outsiders, he died in his study, and some people checked in the study, and there was no sign of outsiders invading."
"Shouldn't you check for footprints or something? Or something else. Li Mo asked.
"The cause of death of the deceased is not yet known, but ......" Yi Xian shook his head. I'm afraid that the cause of death of that man is not so simple, and the wound in the abdomen is not fatal. ”
When Li Mo heard the news, he choked on the peanuts in his mouth. Li Mo laughed and coughed, and asked, "Isn't it a fatal place to break a big hole in the abdomen?"
"It's not." Yi Xian retorted, lowered his voice and said: "I have been working in this industry for two years, and I have earned this money, although I can't do those empty heads or anything, but I really learned two hands in autopsy, I carefully examined the deceased, and found that the cause of his death was not excessive blood loss from the abdominal wound, but suffocation."
In Yi Xian's explanation to Li Moyi, there are three types of suffocation in their line.
One is ordinary asphyxiation, which is a breathing disorder caused by external force, such as being hanged or strangled by others. These are ordinary choking, which is a type of choking that is easy to judge because most of the neck will leave some strangulation marks.
The second is toxic asphyxiation, such as poisoning, which makes a person unable to breathe, resulting in death.
The last type is abnormal asphyxia, such as drowning, and the cause of this suffocation phenomenon is abnormal asphyxia.
Yi Xian gave the deceased a careful physical examination, and at this time he made an astonishing discovery.
The victim died not from excessive bleeding from the wound in the abdomen, but from suffocation.
Nangong Lin's dead body is no different from an ordinary dead body, but his lips are too purple, his eyelids also bleed, the spots on the dead body appear earlier than the time of ordinary dead bodies, his face is swollen, and his teeth also have bleeding.
These phenomena, coupled with the results of Yi Xian's examination, led the cause of death to suffocation.
"Suffocation?" Li Moyi was also curious and asked, "What is the result of your final investigation?"
"Nothing." Yi Xian's body trembled a little, the hand he held trembled slightly, and his eyes were full of fear: "I thought about moving the dead body from the study to the desk to continue to do an examination, but then I realized that the thing couldn't be moved at all!"
Li Moyi was a little confused.
Can't move? The dead weigh no more than a few hundred pounds, and they can't move it?
Seeing Li Mo's questioning face, Yi Xian smiled bitterly and said slowly: "Don't guess, the deceased is about the same size as an ordinary middle-aged person, at most one hundred or four or five, but this dead body seems to be stuck to the ground, no matter how hard I exert myself, I can't move it."
"I can't move...... Li Moyi seemed to understand the reason why the little Taoist priest Yi Xian came to him. Indeed, the scene of his meeting with the fox demon last night was seen by Yi Xian, and now in Yi Xian's heart, Li Moyi is a great immortal with great magical powers, so he came to him for help desperately.
Li Mo lowered his head and thought about it. "Where are the dead bodies?" He asked tentatively.
Yi Xian nodded.
"Can you show me there?" Li Mo asked.
Yi Xian thought for a while, and whispered: "Okay, this matter is a bit evil, it's okay to take you to the scene, but you have to keep it a secret."
Li Mo nodded. You can't say that in plain sight. If this matter is known to outsiders, it has the potential to cause unrest and panic.
