Chapter 5: Another Man Died

Yunluo came to the morgue, and the county magistrate came to help her find the body of Lord Zhou.

"Miss Yun, do you want to take a look at Lord Wang's corpse again?" He also got Lao Li's letter, and he must be obedient to this Yun Luo's words and answer all questions, so he can speak so well.

"No, I'll look at this first." She lifted the white cloth and looked left and right on the corpse's face, Rong Zhou, who was standing by the door, also had a patient expression, there are also a lot of corpses in this morgue that have been left for a long time, although it is not as easy to decompose the corpse as the heat in April, but the smell is still not good.

Yun Luo glanced at it, unloaded a purse from her waist and threw it over: "Smell it." ”

He didn't know why, he raised his hand and smelled the fragrance, and suddenly he was not so uncomfortable, and he asked with some surprise in his heart: "What is this?" ”

"Guess?"

The little girl was tricky, and Rong Zhou also hesitated for a moment and didn't look at what was inside, in case it was some snakes, insects, rats and ants...... He didn't want to throw up anymore.

When I looked up, I saw that she looked serious, poured the white worm out of the bottle, and then watched it slowly lie on its stomach on the face of the corpse. Goosebumps instantly spread all over his body, but Rong Zhou still suppressed his discomfort and walked to Yun Luo's side and asked, "What kind of Gu worm is this?" ”

"It's just an ordinary Gu worm, it's not poisonous, but it can ambush into the blood meridians along a person's wound. Drinking its blood to cut off its meridians is quite similar to the Gu poison in your body. Yun Luo's eyes stared at the Gu worm without blinking, and she didn't notice that the faces of the people around her were stiff.

He opened his mouth to ask about his poison, but seeing that she was so serious about looking for wounds, he swallowed the question back.

"Huh?" Yun Luo found that the Gu worm had crawled into the hair and stopped moving, so she hurriedly beckoned and shouted: "Shave the hair of the corpse, the wound should be on the top of the head." ”

He started shaving his hair, and in a short time his head was bare. And without the cover of hair, there is a hole the size of a thick needle in the position of the Baihui acupoint on the top of the head.

"Sure enough, there is a wound, but this wound ......"

Qing Chuan stepped forward and glanced at it, and then said, "If the silver needle is poured into the Baihui acupoint, it will die immediately." ”

Rong Zhou also felt at ease, and his expression became serious: "No wonder I can't find the wound, the silver needle is still in my head?" ”

He stretched out his hand to inspect it, shook his head for a moment and said, "There is no weapon on the head, only this one wound." ”

Yun Luo whistled a tune, and soon the Gu worm crawled out on its own and was put away in a porcelain bottle. She turned around and looked at Qi Zuo before going out and said, "Go and see the cause of death of Lord Wang, it should be the same cause of death." ”

She answered, and several people left the morgue, and she went to wash her hands and was a little puzzled: "It stands to reason that the silver needle can't be taken out if it is inserted, how can there be no murder weapon?" ”

Rong Zhou and Ye Qi didn't know, but Qingchuan thought for a moment and said: "There is a hidden weapon in the rivers and lakes called silk silver needle, the silver needle is slender and not easy to find, and the silk is also transparent and extremely sharp. It's just that this secret weapon requires strong internal strength or superb skills to be able to be retracted and released freely, could it be that these two died in the hands of people in the rivers and lakes? ”

Yun Luo touched her chin, thinking about the corpse and the situation when she found the corpse that day, and gradually had an idea in her mind: "The murderer should be among the people who hid from the rain that day, and the blood stains on the stone statue were brought out the moment the silver needle was pulled out?" ”

"Almost, but it's not clear what the murderer's intention was to kill the two court officials. Tomorrow we will go to the old gentleman's house and ask about retribution, and perhaps we will have an answer. ”

Rong Zhou also saw that it was getting late, so he didn't plan to go to talk about it overnight, and it was not too late to go back tomorrow, so he went back to the inn with the others.

He really lost his appetite at night, and exercised in his room to suppress the toxins in his body. Although he now has Yunluo by his side, he is not used to relying on others.

……

In the early morning of the next day, Yunluo slept and washed up to herself, and after washing up, she tied a ponytail casually, Qingchuan took care of her from childhood to adulthood, and she didn't know much about anything in life.

Dangling his long ponytail that was simply tied up, he staggered to the back kitchen to decoct the medicine and rubbed some snacks to eat. She is cute, and when she says a few kind words, she coaxes the uncles and aunts in the kitchen to start bringing her snacks to eat.

Rong Zhou also drank the medicine and couldn't eat breakfast, and Yunluo didn't care. You can drink the medicine, and you won't starve to death if you eat one less meal.

Although she said so, she still secretly packed a bag of snacks when she left.

"Is that so?" The four of them found the south alley that the county lord said, and went to the alley at night to ask the two little beggars, and only continued to walk in after learning that they were not in the wrong place.

Rong Zhou is also a noble son, and he has never been to such a dirty place. The narrow alleys and the green brick paved paths are not smooth. The eaves on both sides are also not very high, and they are covered with dust.

Turning left and right in the alley, before he could continue to ask the old gentleman's home, he saw Lao Li and the servants surrounding a courtyard that seemed to have something wrong.

"What's wrong?" Yun Luo was the first to squeeze in, and most of the officials knew her, and knew that she could walk around the county government office casually for the past two days, so no one stopped her.

Lao Li was full of sadness when he saw that she was coming: "Girl, this is the old gentleman's house you said." Early this morning, his wife went to the yamen to report the case, and he hanged himself. ”

As soon as Lao Li finished speaking, the post-mortem at the scene said: "It's not a suicide, the location of the strangulation marks is wrong, and it is suspected that someone else strangled and hung up." ”

Rong Zhou also walked in, and when he saw that the old gentleman was dead, the clue was broken again, and his brows immediately tightened.

"My old man went out for a drink last night, and when he came back, he said that he might not survive tonight. I thought he was drunk, but I didn't expect it to ......" The old woman cried again, and Yun Luo looked at the old man's corpse with some faint emotions in her eyes.

"Lao Li, go to the restaurants, taverns, and tea gardens in the town, don't miss any place where you can drink and eat, check them one by one. Since he went to drink, someone must have seen who he went drinking with. ”

Rong Zhou also commanded softly, and Lao Li did not hesitate to immediately send someone to investigate.

In the morning, nothing was found but another person died, which made them not very happy.

"How do I check it now?" Yun Luo asked sullenly, he raised his eyebrows and was a little puzzled: "You just want to find out and satisfy your curiosity?" Or is it for something else? ”

"What do you care about me for!" She roared angrily and ran a few steps to leave Rong Zhou behind, every time he was yin and yang, and he hated it to death.

Obviously, he asked her to save her life, how did he act as if he was not a good person!

Rong Zhou didn't expect that he really provoked her to lose his temper just by asking casually this time, and he was about to chase after him a few steps forward when he was stopped by Qingchuan.

"I will advise the young lady to leave for Baicao Valley as soon as possible, and you had better restrain your temper in the meantime. Don't think that if you are the prince, I won't dare to touch you, and I won't show mercy if you provoke the young lady to be angry. ”

Qingchuan gave a warning in a deep voice, and he chased after him with light skills.

Ye Qi was furious, and said a little angrily: "Master, look at him...... Isn't it just because we have a request for Miss Yunluo, so he dares to be so pretending to be a tiger! You are also too kind-hearted, if you want me to say that you should be on guard against him, lest you be like being in the palace again, and you don't know who is harmed. ”

"Shapeshifting ......" Rong Zhou didn't listen to what his little guard said, but muttered to himself. After he saw Qingchuan's light skills, he didn't rush to chase Yunluo again, but took Yeqi back to the inn.

Yun Luo was angry and walked all the way forward, and without looking at the road carefully, she arrived at the city gate in a blink of an eye.

"Chuanchuan, or the two of us will go and check the broken temple. Didn't you say that there must be something weird about that temple? Seeing that it was still early and she had nothing to do, she might as well go out to check on herself.

Without him, Rong Zhouyi, she can't do anything herself?

Qingchuan naturally nodded in agreement, and carefully held an umbrella for people along the way. There are officials guarding the Guanyin Temple, and they have already begun to tear down the wall.

Yunluo squatted on the stone pile beside her, and before she could study it carefully, she heard a shout from there: "The body has been dug up!" ”

She was shocked, got up and ran over.

"Hey, the girl can't see it......" The officials stopped for a moment, and Yun Luo had already bypassed them and ran over.

The corpse in front of her was as bold as she was, and she was really startled, so she turned around and hid behind Qingchuan.

"Where did this come from?"

What the officials dug up was neither a decomposing corpse nor a pile of bones, but a dried corpse.

"It's dug out of the wall, it's really unlucky!" The officials didn't expect that there was a corpse buried in the wall of this Guanyin Temple, not to mention that such a weak woman was afraid, but they were also shocked when they saw it.

"Another one was dug up!"

Not far away, another official also shouted, and Qingchuan pulled the young lady to stand in the distance, and subconsciously patted her on the back.

"Why don't you go back first? In fact, Miss can ignore this matter, and when Rong Zhou is brought back to Baicao Valley to cure the poison on his body, then I will take Miss to the mountains and rivers again, why follow him to be angry? ”

Qingchuan appropriately raised this matter, Yun Luo waved his hand, looked at the dried corpses dug up one after another not far away, and said in a low voice: "His poison is very troublesome, even if he brings it back to Baicao Valley, he is not ten percent sure." The reason why he delayed going back was because the Gu Attraction in his body was most likely from Baicao Valley. I don't want to hurt him, anyway, he's also Master's nephew. ”

Qingchuan was startled, and his expression, which had never changed, finally cracked: "Miss, what you said is true?" ”

"Well, the big reason why I happily agreed to go down the mountain to help him heal is also to find out about Baicao Valley." Yunluo believes in Qingchuan the most, since she was six years old, Qingchuan has followed her to live in Wanyou Mountain, and has taken care of her in every detail for ten years.

In the entire Baicao Valley, except for her father and mother, the only thing she believes in is Qingchuan.

"Until I find a way to detoxify, I won't rush him back to Baicao Valley. Drag it slowly, although it can't be cured, it's not a problem to continue your life. ”

Qingchuan didn't ask, and Yun Luo looked at the dried corpse, and a strange thought rose in her heart. Although she wanted to find out the truth, she was curious, but she didn't want the old man to die in vain. As for why? She didn't know, probably because of fate.
