Chapter 526: A Chance Encounter in Forensics
If you think of it, you will do it, Hu Xianxian went from receiving the news to guessing this, from late afternoon to late afternoon. She woke up Hang without a word of explanation, and went to Wanzhou alone.
At the end of the time, when she arrived in Dewan Prefecture, she summoned the earth fairy to ask the location of the old uncle's cemetery.
"Seventh Senior Sister?" The light of the fine moon was faint, and Ma Mingfeng suddenly came out of the ground and startled many perched birds, and he waved his sleeves at those frightened birds unhappily, "Scared and chirping, this immortal is your parents and officials don't know." ”
Hu Xianxian couldn't help but chuckle and greeted him affectionately: "Senior brother, I haven't seen you for a long time, it's always been good?" ”
"Okay, not good...... No one came to see me. Ma Mingfeng agreed and asked, "Is it because you can afford to think of me as a senior brother?" Say, "What's the matter?" ”
"King Chengjun has a distant uncle who is from Wanzhou, he is dead, can you help me find out where his grave is?"
Ma Mingfeng sank into the soil, and after a while, he came out again, saying that he had found the location. He personally took Hu Xianxian to go, chatting and catching up on the road by the way.
After learning about their experience for more than a year, Ma Mingfeng sighed a few times: "Seventh Senior Sister, are you hiding from the Third Senior Brother?" There are so many things you can do together, and it's not good to be separated like this. ”
"He needs to think about the big picture, I'm just doing the little things that happen to me, how do we go about what to do together? Besides, even if I wanted to help him, he always treated me like a child, and wanted to block everything for me when we were together. "She really feels a little constrained with him every day.
"Is it that he has taken on too many worldly things, and has to be subject to many constraints, and you have to be bound by those constraints when you follow him, and you are afraid of causing trouble and being bound?"
I didn't expect Ma Mingfeng to understand her thoughts so well, she was surprised when he became so delicate?
Seeing that she looked at herself suspiciously, Ma Mingfeng replied with a smile: "I didn't think of this carefully, I was a nest for myself as an immortal in this land, and I was afraid of causing trouble when I did anything." Even if you have the ability to move mountains and reclaim the sea, as long as you are under jurisdiction and as long as you are entangled, it is difficult to be free. ”
He was right, and Hu Xianxian nodded emphatically. He said, "Don't worry too much, you can explain what you can do for him, and then listen to what he can do." ”
"Okay, I don't have any goals anyway, I'll listen to his arrangements in the future." She was also afraid of the kind of days when she ran around and could have an accident at any time.
"Hehe, I didn't expect you to be so persuasive. Alas, as long as it is related to the third junior brother, the seventh junior sister is still exceptionally well-behaved. ”
Ma Mingfeng said that Hu Xianxian blushed, and she didn't talk again. Not long after, he arrived at the foot of a small hill on the outskirts of the city, and Ma Mingfeng pointed to a newly built tomb.
Of course, this tomb is not as solemn and magnificent as the royal mausoleum, but it is also large and luxurious. Because it is a new burial, there is a lantern in front of the tomb, and there is a small shed guarding the tomb about half a mile away from the tomb.
Ma Mingfeng introduced that the person who peeled peanuts and ate peanuts in the shed was the son of the old uncle, the people who shouted five drinks and six gambling money were distant relatives, and the few people standing at the entrance of the shed were family members.
There are many children of rich and noble families who will not really guard the tomb during this filial piety period, and even if they do, they will do some things like drinking. This old uncle's son is really filial, not only guarding, but also only eating peanuts and drinking white water, not sticking to fireworks food.
Hu Xianxian wanted to dig up the tomb, but they were in the way by guarding the tomb with filial piety, she smiled at Ma Mingfeng flatteringly.
Ma Mingfeng understood, and summoned the order to suppress the evil between the wide sleeves. In an instant, the surrounding wind gusted, blowing the white lanterns of the shed flickering.
The housekeepers who were guarding the entrance of the shed all shivered, and they all went into the shed to ask what was the matter, and whether they wanted to go back to the city first.
"What's so strange about the wind?" A man who was gambling on the rise replied casually.
"Ahh This lantern is about to go out, why can't the everlasting lamp flicker? It's not the wind blowing, is it? A family member pointed to the lantern in front of the tomb, and his voice was out of tune.
As soon as he finished speaking, the wind blew a little stronger, and all the people in the shed went out to investigate. The wind blew violently, and the lantern was suddenly extinguished. It was originally a night when the moon was missing, and the starlight was dim, and there was no light, so they were all stunned and frozen.
After a while, a bold man took out a fire fold and lit the candle in the lantern. As soon as it was light, there was a "poof" sound of the yin wind, blowing out the candles.
"We ...... Never mind...... The old man may want to be quiet and quiet tonight, let's go back to the city, go back to the city......" After the old uncle's son said this sentence with his teeth knocked, they hurried to the horse-drawn cart and ran to the city.
When they were far away, Ma Mingfeng and Hu Xianxian turned out from behind the shed with a smile. The two were laughing, and suddenly they heard two sounds of "欻欻", and a crisp sound of "snap......
Following the prestige, I saw that the ever-bright lamp in front of the tomb fell down and shattered. The two of them looked at each other in disbelief and flew towards the grave together.
Behind the tombstone of the tomb is a carved tomb door made of white marble, the tomb door has not been opened, and there are no unusual traces in the sacrificial room behind it.
After they circled the tomb twice, they could tell that there was a slight noise coming from the bottom of the tomb. Ma Mingfeng frowned and sensed it, and said suspiciously: "Very powerful breath ......"
"It's a very powerful aura, it's not like a corpse, even a blood lord can't have such a powerful aura......" Hu Xianxian also frowned.
The two of them guessed that several situations were wrong, and they wanted to break open the tomb directly to see what was going on, but they heard the soft sound of "squirming".
Without thinking about it, the two of them took out their weapons and shot them at the location where the sound came from, but they were all empty again, and the weapon automatically bounced back into their hands.
"Humph!" Immediately afterward, they heard a muffled grunt of obvious displeasure in the night sky. Yes, it was "visibly displeased", but there was no threatening, no angry grunt.
"Third junior brother......" Ma Mingfeng stared forward and saw that there was a very thin gap in the stone slab on the top of the tomb, and the paper piece slowly drilled out of the gap was Cheng Haofeng. His voice was more surprised than surprised, and he threw himself forward with open arms.
"Haofeng ......" Hu Xianxian actually found out that it was him before Ma Mingfeng, but she hesitated for a while before calling out.
After Cheng Haofeng changed back to his original appearance, he first waved his sleeves to make the crack on the tomb disappear, and then took out two things from his sleeves and handed them to Ma Mingfeng: "This is the mutated nail and the funeral token he wears on his hand, let's go to his son and ask him to tell the real cause of his uncle's death." ”
Ma Mingfeng and Hu Xianxian looked at the purple and black nails with hard hair, and the burial jade pendant, which flew into the air with Cheng Haofeng.
"Third Senior Brother, why didn't you say hello to us first? It's a good thing you're very skilled, otherwise we'd have hurt you by mistake. Ma Mingfeng remembered the scene just now and was still afraid, he and Hu Xianxian were both corpses and used all their strength to attack.
"Digging up graves is detrimental to yin morality, and destroying corpses is a great disrespect to the dead. In any case, since the old uncle is dead, we will try to let him rest in peace.
When I came, I saw that you were scaring the grave keepers, and I thought that you would distract them, and I would do it, which is a good way to reduce conflict.
Moreover, I can break through a gap and get the relevant evidence, and you will definitely dig up the grave and destroy the body if you go to collect evidence. ”
He was right, and they all nodded. Ma Mingfeng asked again: "What happened when the everlasting lamp fell and broke?" ”
"My uncle is indeed dead, but his body has not stiffened, and he sat up straight the moment I lifted the lid of the coffin. When I used the aura to disperse the corpse qi in his body, the tomb shook a few times, and the lamp should have swayed down at that time. When Cheng Haofeng replied this, he glanced at Hu Xianxian with a little resentment.
Hu Xianxian lowered her head, almost accidentally hurting him, which made her feel very guilty, but his glance seemed to have another deep meaning, so she lowered her head and thought about it.
Soon they arrived outside the old uncle's mansion, and when they were about to enter, Ma Mingfeng stopped them: "We are flying fast, they should ride horses and cars slowly, the old uncle's son may not have come back yet." Let's find a secluded place first and see if it's not too late for them to come back and go in. Well, you guys talk together, and I'll go over there and ponder the nails and jade pendants. ”
As long as you really care about it, rough people also have meticulousness. Ma Mingfeng sensed that the two of them were a little awkward, and found an excuse to avoid the side. They had all injured him by mistake, but he didn't care, and it was really difficult for them to repay this brother's kindness.
Cheng Haofeng didn't speak, but the sense of coercion was even stronger, and the atmosphere was so dull that it could suffocate people to death. Hu Xianxian searched his stomach and thought about the topic, and whispered: "He Dengtai sent a message that Gao Youquan was not in the black mine in Liaozhou, and he didn't know where he went?" “
"Hmm......" he lowered his eyelids, his long eyelashes covering his eyes like a curtain.
"I saw that the Wanzhou arrester was not concerned about the arrest of no one in the case, and then I heard He Dengtai say that Kuai Diancong had offered the so-called 'immortal elixir' to the king of Chengjun, and guessed that there was another hidden reason for the death of the old uncle, how did you come to come here for an autopsy?"
"You summoned Gao Youquan to do something, and I will begin to investigate everything related to Orihun. Wu Qiu also found out about Kuai Diancong, and I also guessed that the death of the old uncle was unusual. After they used his death to cause trouble for us, they rushed to bury it, and it must have been a mutation in the body. He looked up at her, and his expression was calm, but she always felt that he was dissatisfied with her.
"Coincidence...... It's a coincidence. I was going to let you know when I got the results, but I didn't know I met you here. You know I'm careless...... I almost hurt you by mistake, I'm sorry......" She tried to pull his hand, but his cold appearance made her dare not reach out.
"You should let me know as soon as you receive the message from Hodentai, so that I can arrange things better, and you can avoid potential dangers.
How can you act without reporting it? If there is a trap in this tomb and I don't come by coincidence, how will you respond?
You never believed me, and you never cared about me...... How many hours have elapsed between the time you received the news and the time you acted, and how did you not even think to let me know? ”
His tone was stern, and after hearing this, she realized that he was angry that he hadn't told him in advance, not that he had almost accidentally injured him.
"I ...... I thought it was just a small thing, you have so many things to deal with...... I don't want you to be distracted......" She made her cry when she was talked, and her explanations were weak. But she couldn't help but slander him for being so harsh and stingy, and reprimanding people for the slightest mishandling.
She lowered her eyebrows and was about to let him count them all, when suddenly there was a muffled "buzz" in her ears, and her head crashed into his arms.
"Xianxian, I'm sorry...... Only blame me for my incompetence, so that you don't have a moment of leisure. Unexpectedly, he reprimanded someone, but he first stretched out his arms to embrace her and apologized warmly.
"Huh? It doesn't matter if you don't have peace...... I'd love to share your worries. She put her mouth and nose on his chest, and spoke with a buzzing voice.
Throwing herself into his arms, she wondered with joy, and worried that he would crawl out of the grave and smell of rancidity. Hey, no! Take a few deep breaths, and it's still a light taste, like the smell of sunlight and grass.
