CHAPTER XXXVII

Xiao Mingzhu hesitated for a moment, a little puzzled, but looking at Xu Chu's serious appearance, she also kept silent. It's just that it's too difficult to find a person from so many bones?

Xu Chu saw her frowning and shrinking her neck and keeping her mouth shut, knowing that this girl was still confused, so he couldn't help but continue: "Looking at the degree of wear and tear of the bones and joints, you can generally find the same. There are so many white bones, I can't distinguish them one by one, so I can only look for the similar splices first, hoping to get more information about the white bone case. ”

As she spoke, she had already put her ribs and leg bones together. Her speed is extremely fast, and whenever she encounters something similar, she doesn't carefully screen it, so she fights directly to the approximate position of the human body.

Soon, a human figure appeared on the ground...... Although many places are incomplete, it does not prevent people from seeing the person's body clearly.

"The deceased, female, has no bone damage, no history ......of childbirth," she said, she took off her gloves and carefully touched the inexplicable scratches on the bone surface, as if they were lightly cut by a knife, and as if they were scratched by something sharp.

But who would have such a leisurely mood to pull on top of a white bone skeleton? Even if you vent your anger after the death of the deceased, you shouldn't do such an inconspicuous act, shouldn't you break the bones and scatter the ashes?

Suddenly, a strange thought flashed through her mind, and it was not impossible if it was like that. Because of the speculation in his heart, Xu Chu no longer cared about the white bones spliced at hand, but continued to return to the pit and pull it up back and forth.

Without evidence, all speculation cannot be formed.

Fingers stumbling over a rag...... No, it's not tough enough.

Then, there was a sudden pain in her fingertips, and she suddenly withdrew her hand.

"You're crazy!" When Xiao Qinglang came back to his senses, he jumped directly into the burial pit, his eyes gloomy and full of irrepressible worry and anger. "This burial pit has been a long time, who knows if there is corpse poison in the soil, for the post-mortem investigation, do you even care about your life!"

With that, he directly dragged the fingers on Xu Chu's hand to his side. Then he took out the extremely sharp short knife from his sleeve, the blade moved slightly, and before Xu Chu could even feel the pain between his fingers, blood gushed out.

"If all the tricks are like you, regardless of your own safety to solve the case, then how little can Da Zhou do?" Xiao Qinglang lowered his head, wrapped Xu Chu's fingers in a white handkerchief with condemnation and worry, and then said solemnly, "I know that you are uneasy because of Xu Cheng's actions, the so-called investigation of the case to avoid suspicion, if you can't take care of your own safety, then I will send someone else to this case." ”

Xu Chu raised his head when he heard this, the two of them breathed staggered, and each could clearly see themselves in each other's eyes. She bit her lower lip tightly, and the only bbit of blood on her face faded instantly. She was angry in her heart, but she also knew that Xiao Qinglang was telling the truth. Although the regulations are not mentioned in ordinary times for post-mortem examinations, if it is more harsh, every time an autopsy is conducted, people who are related or related to the case must avoid the case.

But since she was determined to investigate, no matter how difficult it was, she would not back down.

Xiao Qinglang sighed, softened his tone, and said, "If you can ensure that your mind is not swayed by the sudden situation, this king is not impossible to make an exception......"

King Jing'an, who is in charge of the affairs of the world's prisons, has always been fair and honest, and has never made an exception to anyone. is the only one who tolerates Xu Chu again and again. ate and drove together, and did not shy away from her identity, and even recorded the autopsy list in person.

If he is really unmotivated, not to mention others, even Xiao Mingzhu, who is now shrinking his neck as a background, doesn't believe it.

Xu Chu was stunned, obviously she didn't expect Xiao Qinglang to make such a request, but when she calmed down, she also understood that she was careless just now. Although she had already inspected the dirt when she first went to the burial pit, and there was no smell of rotting flesh, she was not afraid of ten thousand things. Be cautious, and there's probably nothing wrong with that.

She nodded in a daze, and then let Xiao Qinglang, the prince, help her bandage her wounds, and then put on gloves again.

After Xiao Qinglang let go of Xu Chu's hand, he covered his hands under his sleeves and stood with his hands in his hands, only watching Xu Chu continue to search. After another quarter of an hour, I saw Xu Chu's eyes shining brightly, and she stood up with a happy face, and she was holding a very thin iron wire in her hand......

Xu Chu didn't care about explaining much, hurriedly returned to the spliced bones, and stretched out his hand to carefully compare the wire. The traces are really the same, which is the so-called curse of white bones, in fact, it should be a wire connecting the original white bones, so that a pile of white bones becomes like a puppet or shadow puppet in the hands of a puppet.

As soon as she was about to speak, she heard a report from a government soldier that many caves had been dug out on the side of the mass grave, which was very strange.

After getting the news, Xiao Qinglang waved his hand to retreat, looked at Xu Chu who looked up with clear eyes, and then smiled faintly.

Xu Chu nodded subconsciously, and a few people walked to the back of the inn, which is the legendary place where the bones are full of mountains.

Xiao Mingzhu closed her mouth tightly, for fear that the piece of ginger that Xu Chu gave her would fall out, and when she saw Sister Xu and her third uncle walking back together, she couldn't help but shiver and hurriedly followed.

But before she could reach the mass grave, she was so sick with a foul smell that she couldn't even hold back the ginger slices from vomiting.

Two steps further, I saw a large pile of rotting corpses and bones, and the stench was stinking, and something was wriggling on the pile of carrion. Probably frightened, Xiao Mingzhu didn't react for a while, and even opened his eyes wide and took a closer look.

After seeing the things on the carrion clearly, Xiao Mingzhu couldn't help but stand upside down, and then stuffed the toolbox in his arms into the third uncle's hand with a "vomit", turned his head and ran away.

Xiao Mingzhu's movements were not small, and many of the government soldiers who were directly provoked changed their faces together with Cui Husheng, who was following behind. However, they are men in the end, and because the prince is in front of them, they can naturally only endure desperately.

Among the group, only Xu Chu and Xiao Qinglang were still calm. And Wei Guang and others, even if they can't change their faces, they are much better than others.

Xu Chu looked around, looking at this terrible place, but finally his gaze stayed on a few inconspicuous tombstones.

"Lord Wang, Miss Xu, this is it." Before walking to a dilapidated wooden tombstone, the guard respectfully retreated to the side and continued to reply, "My subordinates have already asked people to go in to investigate, and there is no mechanism or danger. ”

While speaking, Xiao Qinglang had already taken the lead in bending down into the cave, and after a moment, he leaned out again, and subconsciously reached out and pulled Xu Chu.

"The bottom of the dark path, be careful." Between light and darkness, Xiao Qinglang's eyes looked at Xu Chu with a deep meaning.

As if he had been bewitched, Xu Chu had forgotten the idea of avoiding suspicion that he had always believed, and the ghost handed the hand that had just taken off his gloves and was still a little cold into Xiao Qinglang's palm.

At this time, there was a faint shadow under her eyes, and her face was pale, as if she was tired. Also, yesterday's events were too unbelievable, although she had a tent to rest at night, but because her father's safety could not be determined, where would she be in the mood to sleep? tossed and turned, and finally survived until dawn.

Next, it is time to sort out the accumulated white bones of the corpse pit. Then, before they could check the remaining urns, they came to the cave of the mass grave.

The autumn sun was deserted, and after all, she slowly walked towards the cave behind Xiao Qinglang. There were obviously already guards or government soldiers waiting in front, and the torches that were clearly extinguished were faint, and Xiao Qinglang's figure stretched backwards, and then fell on himself.

Xu Chu pursed his lips a little annoyed, his fingers couldn't help rubbing his body a few times, but the shame on his face didn't know whether it was for the warmth of the start, or because he was confused by beauty, and his heart was beating violently for a while.

It's really hopeless, how can I be in such a scene, I will almost be flooded with spring heart. She admits that Xiao Qinglang is handsome and unparalleled, but no matter what, she shouldn't be tempted when investigating the case, especially when she is in a mass grave!

"There are traces of people surviving here, and it seems that people are evacuated in a hurry." Xiao Qinglang carefully looked at the scene in the cave and said.

Xu Chu took a deep breath, and the heat in his heart just now instantly disappeared into invisibility. The cave seems to have been modified, and there is no coffin, but a simple bed. There were also a few dirty futons on it, and on the straw on the side were a few beautiful clothes and skirts.

Looking at the clothes, Xu Chu suddenly remembered the words of the female shopkeeper. All the women who wanted to escape were cursed by the white bones, and the moment before they turned their faces in their clothes, they became white bones.

She looked left and right, and saw the tulle skirt wrapped on the thatch, suddenly, her heart jumped, her pupils suddenly contracted, and she said eagerly: "Lord Wang, let people block all the exits near the mass grave, and dig deep around the mass grave to prevent people from escaping secretly." ”

"The Fleur Beauty's Curse of the White Bones doesn't exist at all! Their real purpose is not to spread rumors about the ghost village......" Xu Chu picked up the dresses and looked at them, it was cold in late autumn, and the tulle dress in his hand couldn't keep out the cold at all. And looking at the embroidery on it and the place where it looms through the tulle, you know that this thing is definitely not worn by other people's daughters.

If her guess is correct, what is hidden in the tomb is a vivid and gorgeous life, and the bones dug up in the original Hibiscus Inn are the real owners of the tomb. Such stealing beams and changing pillars not only spreads a haunted reputation that people dare not easily approach and check, but also deters the nearby goodwill to be driven by them.

The real purpose of those men was to hide the women who had been taken captive from all over the world, as well as the gold and silver goods. Which one has no intention of inserting willows, but makes this place a forbidden place for the living, making them more and more arrogant. So much so that they dared to intercept and kill the court officials here, and even assassinated King Jing'an.
