Chapter 71: Li Pingping is killed

Nangong silently saw that the time was not early, and said to the body monkey with his fists:

"It's dark at night, so let's stop it for today! I'll go back to the place you said tomorrow and see if there are any other clues. ”

The body monkey nodded, hugged his fists and saluted back, said goodbye to Nangong silently, and the three of them went out of Wanzi Building and returned home.

Early the next morning, the body monkey took Hou Mingli to the Shizi Mansion early to look for Nangong Mo, preparing to find clues about Snake Marry.

Just as the three of them were about to leave the Prince's Mansion, a maid from Wan Zilou came over and said:

"My lord, my mother Su has invited my lord, saying that I have found Li Pingping's traces, please move to Wanzi Building."

When Nangong Mo and the others heard the news, they hurriedly followed the maid to Wanzi Building, the old bustard was already waiting outside the door, and when they saw Nangong Mo and others coming, they trotted a few steps, and said anxiously to Nangong Mofu:

"My lord, as you expected, Li Pingping really encountered an accident, someone saw Li Pingping in the moat this morning, and Li Pingping had already died of anger after being salvaged."

Nangong Mo frowned and asked:

"Where are the corpses?"

The old bustard pointed in the direction to Nangong Mo and responded:

"In the morning, I asked someone to bring Li Pingping's body back to Wanzi Building, which was placed in the backyard and had not yet been buried."

Nangong Mo nodded and said to the old bustard:

"Take us around."

Under the guidance of the old bustard, everyone came to the backyard of Wanzi Building, and the body was placed in a grass hut on the edge of the courtyard, covered with a white cloth.

Nangong Mo walked over and lifted the white cloth, Li Pingping's death was extremely ugly, her whole body was already white and swollen from blisters, her stomach was swollen, and her palms and soles were already white and peeling because of the soaking in water.

The old bustard glanced at Li Pingping's corpse, turned his head and didn't dare to look at it, but the monkey squatted down and examined Li Pingping's corpse in detail, hoping to find some clues about the murderer.

Nangong Mo also approached the corpse, pinched Li Pingping's mouth and nose, and then checked Li Pingping's hands, and said lightly:

"It seems that they have already started to destroy the evidence, and we need to hurry, but their extra move has instead exposed a flaw and become a breakthrough for us."

Hou Mingli listened to the clouds, always slowed down, and asked puzzledly:

"Young Master Nangong, there is no wound on this Li Pingping, where will there be a flaw, could it be that she accidentally drowned herself, it's just a coincidence."

Nangong Mo shook his head and explained:

"There has been no rain in the port city in the past two months, and the moat is not deep, which is not enough to drown a person, and Li Pingping obviously died from his homicide."

Hou Mingli's brain is always different from others, and he argued:

"Why is Young Master Nangong so sure that he killed him, maybe Li Pingping was born afraid of water, so she fell into the water, thinking that the water was deep, but drowned."

Nangong Mo pulled Hou Mingli to the corpse, pinched Li Pingping's mouth and nose, and patiently explained to Hou Mingli:

"You see, there is not a single bit of mud and dirt in the mouth and nose, obviously it was thrown into the river after death, if a living person drowns in the river, the drowning person will struggle in the water, the moat is shallow, and the mouth and nose must be filled with a lot of sediment.

Looking at the deceased's palms slightly bent, there were still traces of blood and skin in the nails. If I guessed correctly, the deceased was killed by the man who asked her out last night, the murderer first covered her mouth and nose with something, trying to suffocate her to death, the deceased out of instinct, can only grasp the murderer's hands, the blood stains in the nails should be left on the back of the murderer's hands. ”

Hou Mingli was stunned when he heard this, not believing that Nangong Mo could deduce so many details from just the mouth, nose and palm of a deceased person, and couldn't help but ask curiously:

"How can you be sure that the nail is inside the back of the murderer's hand? Can't it be somewhere else? ”

Nangong Mo smiled and didn't speak, and suddenly made a backhand, holding Hou Mingli's neck with one hand and covering Hou Mingli's mouth and nose with the other.

Hou Mingli didn't expect Nangong Mo to come suddenly, he was defenseless at all, he panicked, Nangong Mo was a seventh-order master, and when he secretly used internal force, Hou Mingli couldn't move at all, and he was anxious to use both hands to grab Nangong Mo's hand covering his mouth and nose.

Nangong Mo was just doing an experiment, and there was no malice, seeing Hou Mingli grabbing it with both hands, he let go of Hou Mingli, and Hou Mingli was able to breathe in an instant, and coughed a few times.

Nangong Mo smiled and said:

"Do you understand this?"

Hou Mingli glanced at Nangong Mo, and responded aggrievedly:

"Ming...... Understood, just tell me about it, why bother. ”

After speaking, he coughed dryly twice, and Nangong Mo saw Hou Mingli's embarrassment, and smiled without saying a word.

The body monkey on the side saw Nangong Mo's movements, and was also startled by Nangong Mo, thinking that Nangong Mo had taken the wrong medicine, and suddenly made a move on his nephew, just about to stop it, Nangong Mo had already let go of Hou Mingli, and when he heard Nangong Mo's explanation, he knew that Nangong Mo was just explaining the case to Hou Mingli, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The body monkey came to Nangong Mo's side and said meaningfully:

"Presumably, Young Master Nangong has already thought of who did it?"

Nangong Mo said cautiously:

"I don't want to jump to conclusions until there is no evidence, let's find other clues first!"

The body monkey smiled and nodded, his admiration for Nangong Mo in his heart was a little more, and when he was looking at Hou Mingli, he immediately changed his face again, and shook his head helplessly, it is really more human than human, and he is angry.

After Hou Mingli was locked by Nangong Mo, he kept staring at the corpse in a daze, Nangong Mo was very curious and asked puzzled:

"Mingli, what are you thinking?"

Hou Mingli came back to his senses and said faintly:

"I don't understand, you said that this matter is related to Zhao Chongwen, and Zhao Chongwen just went to frame Miss because of this Wan Zilou?"

Nangong Mo nodded and responded:

"yes, what's wrong?"

Hou Mingli asked puzzledly:

"Then in that case, why did Zhao Chongwen make it so complicated? In order to frame Miss, he used two lives, and wouldn't it be solved if he killed Miss directly? Why do you have to do this game? ”

The body monkey thought that Hou Mingli was going to ask some strange questions again, and just wanted to wait for him to finish asking and knock him on the head, but he didn't want Hou Mingli to be confused after asking.

For a long time, they only thought that Shu Yu had only had a holiday with Zhao Chongwen, and they had preconceived ideas, so they always thought that it was Zhao Chongwen's bureau, but now when they heard Hou Mingli say this, they really felt that Zhao Chongwen was not doing too much, so that they felt that this matter had nothing to do with Zhao Chongwen.

Nangong Mo heard Hou Mingli's question, looking at the expression of the monkey, knowing that their hearts had been shaken by the development of the case, he shook his head and explained:

"The two of you are not people in the court, and it is normal that you don't understand some things, Zhao Chongwen did this, it is nothing more than not daring to completely offend the Shizi Mansion, so it will be such a troublesome layout."
