Judging from Qu Youying's understanding of Mu Jingzhu, unless Shui Linze promised him something, or if he wanted something from Shui Linze, he would cooperate.

Otherwise, with his temperament, he would never be so close to a stranger.

She was curious about what the reason was, but after thinking about it, she was angry with him now, and what he was going to do had nothing to do with her.

So she twisted her head and looked away from him again.

Shui Linze's voice lagged behind, and no one answered.

Shui Wuze felt that what he said was good, but he still wanted to ask Jiang Tong's opinion.

So he teased Jiang Tong and said, "Lord Wang, I don't know if I can let this little boy autopsy to get more clues and find out as soon as possible." ”

He said sincerely, but Jiang Tong gradually narrowed his eyes, he shook the fan in his hand, his eyes were on the bodies of the two people, he turned around, and then covered his lips with the fan, looking at Shui Linze's side, and turned his head to Qu Youying, who was close to him.

"Do you want to stay and dissect the body?"

Qu Youying pursed her lips, at the beginning, her discussion with Jiang Tong was to delay the stay in Shuifu as much as possible, so that she could better get close to Shui Linze, and then negotiate well about the death of the restaurant that day.

But they didn't expect that Shui Linze would find Mu Jingzhu to investigate the case.

In this way, if she agrees to stay, it will inevitably interfere.

However, Jiang Tong's incident cannot be delayed, and if he doesn't solve Shui Linze's side, I'm afraid that when King Yi arrives in Water Mist City, it will cause unnecessary trouble.

It will put her safety at risk again.

So after a short silence, Qu Youying gritted her teeth and nodded in agreement, "I'll stay." ”

She clenched her fists and glared angrily at Shui Linze, who was squeezing her eyebrows at her.

"That's it, here." Shui Linze became very happy, waved his hand to let the people behind him move the body to the empty house, and asked very earnestly, "Little boy, do you need anything to prepare?" You said it at the same time, and I will let people do it all, and ensure that you can do your work and be handy. ”

"No, you don't." Qu Youying gritted her teeth at him and said, "Go to the Supreme Residence to find Xie Bi'an, I have done an autopsy with him, and he is the best to be my helper." ”

In fact, she wanted to find Xie Xiaoer, just to avoid being alone with Mu Jingzhu.

Anyway, Xie Xiaoer has been making shields for many years, and he definitely won't care about this.

The people in Shuifu did things quickly, found a well-lit and ventilated place, and lit atractylodes and soaphorns around to remove the smell, and then they all retreated and waited outside.

Qu Youying put on an apron, put on a mask and gloves, and prepared to dissect the body.

"Knife No. 1."

She stretched out her hand, and Xie Xiaoer, who had not fully reacted to what was happening, took out a sharp knife from her toolbox with a sullen face and handed it over.

At the same time, he glanced at Mu Jingzhu, who was standing at the window, stared at Mu Jingzhu here, lowered his voice and asked beside Qu Youying, "What's wrong with you and Jing Candle?" The atmosphere is very wrong! Why are you with King Ji? It's also involved in the matter of Shuifu? We're just here to celebrate our birthday, not to cause trouble! Can you two stay away from these things? ”

"Shut up!"

"Shut up!"

Qu Youying and Mu Jingzhu yelled at him in unison, and then the two glanced at each other, and Qu Youying quickly removed her eyes.

She went straight down with a knife and forcefully cut open the chest of the rotting corpse.

In an instant, the smell of blood permeated, Xie Xiaoer held his breath angrily, and then inhaled, all he entered was the smell of blood and rancidity, so smoked that he almost didn't fall down.

He immediately took out sesame oil and applied it under his nose, then took out his mask and put it on.

"Huhu-the master's reputation was almost ruined in such a smell." He patted his chest as if he had palpitations, and then looked at Qu Youying's autopsy, but his mouth kept asking, "Since you don't want to say it, then you have to tell me, why did you dissect the body, I am a second young master of the Xie family, and I want to come here to do it?" In case this matter spreads, how can I, Second Young Master Xie, still gain a foothold outside? ”

"As long as you have your legs there, you can stand anywhere. If you can't stand on your feet, I'll have your leg cut off. ”

Qu Youying picked up the deceased's heart and put it in front of him to look at it carefully, "The deceased was indeed killed by a sharp weapon such as a dagger. ”

When Xie Xiaoer heard this, he immediately picked up a pen and paper and wrote down her words.

Then he stared at her again and asked, "This female corpse appeared inexplicably in Shuifu, aren't you curious, why didn't they hide this matter, but they risked being found to ask someone to conduct an autopsy and investigate the case?" If it were me, I would definitely wait until after the old lady's birthday banquet to deal with this matter. ”

"A lot of strange things have happened in Shuifu recently."

Mu Jingzhu, who hadn't spoken for a long time, said suddenly.

Xie Xiaoer sighed and asked, "What's the strange thing?" ”

"The first thing was that the day after the invitation to the old lady's birthday banquet was sent, a maid died in the water mansion. The maid is the pharmacist of the old lady and has been following the old lady for several years. Then Japan should go to get medicine for the old lady, but he was found dead in the well of Dongyuan. The cause of death was drowning. But this person knows water. The well wasn't deep. ”

"Huh? Is that murder? Xie Xiaoer's pen was pressed against his face, and he asked in surprise, "What about later?" Is this matter over? ”

"I reported it to the police, but I couldn't find any clues about his murder, so I closed the case by accidentally hitting my head and falling into a well and dying."

"Is this possible?" Xie Xiaoer touched his head, walked to Mu Jingzhu, and continued to ask, "What about the back?" ”

"After a few days, there seem to be animals such as cats, dogs, and mice often in the kitchen of the house, and many of the fresh ingredients prepared have traces of being gnawed by animals, as well as the flowers and plants in the house, all withered overnight, and many similar things, but the investigation was unsuccessful, and after a few days, they all disappeared."

When Mu Jingzhu spoke, his eyes kept staring at Qu Youying, and he knew that although she was performing an autopsy, she was also listening to what he said.

The corners of his lips inexplicably raised a very light and faint arc, he glanced at Xie Xiaoer's stupid appearance, and said angrily.

"The second thing is that the old housekeeper, who has been managing the affairs of the house, suddenly wants to resign and return to his hometown, and no one can persuade him, and the old lady has no choice but to let him leave. But the day after he left, when Shui Linze went out, in the alley at the back gate of Shuifu, he found the body of the old housekeeper, it is said that he was crawling with maggots, and in just one night, the body was decomposed. ”

"Huh?" Xie Xiaoer screamed again in surprise, "Isn't that the same as this corpse?" ”

"Same fart!" Qu Youying said angrily, "This corpse has been dead for at least ten days, and a corpse that decomposes overnight is absolutely impossible unless medicine is used." ”

"Oh."

Xie Xiaoer was suddenly scolded, pursed his lips aggrievedly, and moved closer to Mu Jingzhu.

"And what about later? Is something strange happening again? ”

"Before the death of this corpse, that is, for nearly half a month, every night, almost every night, you could hear the sound of a woman singing at night, and the timbre was like a ghost, which was extremely terrifying. Shui Wuze and Shui Lin Ze also followed the sound to look for it, but they found the source of the sound, but they didn't see the person, like an invisible ghost. ”

Qu Youying heard the ghost words, she shrank obviously, the knife under her hand trembled, and when she was about to cut her hand, the other big hand separated her two hands in time.

"Be careful."

Mu Jingzhu held her left hand and leaned close to her.

"I'm fine."

Qu Youying wanted to withdraw her hand, but found that she couldn't pull it out, but she didn't force it, just stared at the corpse and said, "Please let me go." ”

Her voice is obviously suppressed, not as arrogant and crisp as before.

"The sword has no eyes, your knives are sharp, be careful with yourself."

He let go of his hand, Qu Youying turned around and threw the knife in his hand aside, washed the blood stains on the gloves with clean water, and then went to the toolbox on the side, wanting to choose a knife again.

And Mu Jingzhu stood there and looked at her, his eyes dark and floating.

Xie Xiaoer looked at this, then at that, and his intuition told him that there must be a big problem between the two this time, otherwise with Qu Youying's temperament, when he was dissatisfied with Mu Jingzhu, he would definitely make a big noise!

And when Mu Jingzhu didn't want her to do this and that, she had a very tough attitude, how could she be so low-browed?

So Xie Xiaoer coughed lightly, walked to Mu Jingzhu's side, and changed the topic under the pressure of being stared at by him.

"Was there anything strange after that?"

Mu Jingzhu didn't withdraw his eyes, but he also answered Xie Xiaoer's words.

"After that, it's this female corpse."

"That's why the Shui Mansion will make up its mind to investigate? But they have concealed it before, why do they have to find out this time? And it's not far from the old lady's birthday! ”

"They are afraid that the old lady will make a mistake, so they must find out before their birthday."

"Did the old lady make a mistake?" Xie Xiaoer scratched his head, his brain didn't react for a while, he looked at Qu Youying and asked, "Why do you say that?" ”

Qu Youying gave him a "you're really stupid" look, and said slowly while continuing the work at hand.

"The first female pharmacist, who has served the old lady for a long time, died inexplicably, and the second deceased is the old housekeeper of Shuifu, who has lived in Shuifu for decades, but suddenly asked to return to his hometown, haven't you thought about the reason? Moreover, this disfigured female corpse has no identity, but it is even more suspicious. ”

Before her words fell, Mu Jingzhu immediately said, "Shuifu is holding a birthday banquet for the old lady this time, but in fact, it is to obey the wishes of the old lady, and to elect a family head among the younger generation of the water mansion, and this family master will succeed not only the huge business and reputation of the water mansion, but also a treasure of the water mansion." ”

"There are still treasures in Shuifu?" When Xie Xiaoer heard this, his eyes lit up, "What kind of treasure is it?" ”

"Book the Scrolls." Qu Youying slashed the deceased's stomach with the sharp tip of the knife, and said with his head down, "It is said that there is a secret hidden in this thing, which is closely related to a treasure of Esoteric Tianxuan, but this thing has always been in the hands of the old lady, and it has only been passed on to the heir chosen by the ancestors of Shuifu. ”

"So Shui Si and their fathers didn't inherit the position of the head of the Shui Mansion family because they didn't get the affirmation of their ancestors? So how did they get their ancestors to choose people? ”

"You'll know when you see this, what I'm curious about now is-" Qu Youying stretched out her hand and pointed at the stomach of the deceased.

Mu Jingzhu and Xie Xiaoer approached together, looking at something she had taken out of her stomach.

It was a key, the size of a thumb, carved out of jade.

On one side of the key, the word "water" is engraved.
