Fang Mubei's words made Mu Yuanjing's feet unconsciously speed up, Su Qingmo followed behind, walking two steps and running three steps, obviously struggling to follow, and by the time she reached the destination, a thin layer of sweat had already appeared on her back.

The morgue is located in the northwest corner of the hermitage ya, the area is not small, it is a separate house with two windows that is relatively spacious, the east side is adjacent to the house where the hermit office is placed, and the south side is adjacent to the yamen where the people sit in the hall and work, although there will always be people passing by, but except for Fang Mubei, few people are willing to approach the morgue.

There are simple candlesticks in the four corners of the morgue, and there is a five-story wooden shelf against the wall on the north side, on which are the tools that Fang Mubei will use in the autopsy, and in the center are five rectangular wooden boxes with lids, which are shaped like coffins, but they are twice as large in size.

Although it is a mortuary house, there is no strange smell in the house except for the slightest coolness.

Su Qingmo, who was sweating, stood in the room and shivered unconsciously.

Fang Mubei walked around the two of them to the wooden coffin on the far right, raised his hand to push open the locks on both sides of the box, and then pulled down the wooden planks on the side of the wooden coffin.

Su Qingmo could clearly feel that the air was getting colder than just now.

Mu Yuanjing calmly took her cold little hand and held it, warmed her, and explained, "This kind of wooden coffin is specially made by the Hidden World, and there are dark compartments for ice on both sides and at the bottom. ”

"It's to slow down the decay of corpses, right?"

Mu Yuanjing admired her a little clearly.

After the side of the wooden coffin was opened, Widow Liu's body appeared in front of the three of them, Fang Mubei pulled the wooden board at the bottom, and with a slight force in his hand, the wooden board slid out of the box with Widow Liu's body, and now Su Qingmo saw it more clearly.

Widow Liu lay there quietly, although Fang Mubei had cleaned up a little after the autopsy, Su Qingmo still noticed that Widow Liu's stomach was sunken.

The person who was still alive yesterday was lying in front of him with the inherent paleness of the corpse on his face at this time, Su Qingmo couldn't tell what he felt in his heart, his heart was a little blocked, and he was a little out of breath.

Fang Mubei, who was on the side, took out a pair of gloves from the shelf and put them on, and he gently raised Widow Liu's left hand.

Intact, no wounds other than some calluses on the fingers.

After putting down his left hand, Fang Mubei also gently raised Widow Liu's other hand so that Mu Yuanjing could clearly see the right hand with a severed finger.

"This person is not Widow Liu."

Although he had a guess in his heart before, after seeing the corpse, Mu Yuanjing became more determined.

Fang Mubei thought a little about it, "Lord Wang, the subordinates have carefully examined the face of the corpse, ruling out the possibility of a human skin mask, and the severed finger in the stomach of the victim before was found by his subordinates, and the broken surface is completely consistent with the little finger of the corpse's right hand, unless Widow Liu has twin sisters, the subordinates really can't find evidence that the corpse is not Widow Liu." ”

Mu Yuanjing didn't interrupt him in a hurry, and after listening to what he said, he stated slowly: "The corpse has calluses on its fingertips, Widow Liu is not in childbirth, it is impossible to have a pair of calloused hands, and you were not in the princess at yesterday's court trial, but you were at the scene the whole time." ”

He pointed to the corpse's neck and asked Su Qingmo, "Yesterday, Chen Xuan choked Widow Liu's neck under impulse, does the princess have any impression?" ”

Su Qingmo nodded.

"This king clearly remembers that when Widow Liu was escorted away after the court trial, she had obvious bruises on her neck."

Fang Mubei unconsciously opened his mouth and continued: "According to what the prince said, it is impossible for such a serious pinch mark to disappear overnight, but the neck of the corpse lying here is intact, so the person lying here is not Widow Liu." ”

Although it was a little unbelievable, Fang Mubei had to admit that Mu Yuanjing's words were not wrong.

Wei Xu walked in from outside, "Lord Wang, your subordinates have done what you ordered." ”

Mu Yuanjing was not in a hurry to ask for Wei Xu's answer, he tightened Su Qingmo's hand, which had never eased, "Get out of here first." ”

Although Su Qingmo had something to say, he had already been taken away from the morgue by Mu Yuanjing, and he simply gave up and planned to speak again after a while.

The four of them came to the main hall located in the center of the Hidden World Palace, Mu Yuanjing asked the guards to serve four cups of hot tea, and he first put one of the hot tea into Su Qingmo's hands, "Let's talk about it." ”

Su Qingmo sat on the chair and raised his head and looked blankly, not knowing what he asked her to say.

Mu Yuanjing suppressed the smile on the corner of his mouth and glanced at Wei Xu carelessly.

Wei Xu realized that he was saying to himself, and hurriedly said: "My subordinates relaxed their custody of the prison according to your orders, and sure enough, in the middle of the night, someone sneaked into Widow Liu's cell. ”

"Who?"

Wei Xu got up from the chair and pleaded: "My subordinates were derelict in their duties and didn't catch anyone." ”

Wei Xu's miss, Mu Yuanjing, didn't take it to heart, and the murderer has not leaked any flaws so far, so it is not easy for Yin Shiya to catch people.

He picked up the teacup and motioned for Wei Xu to continue.

"Because you instructed that if you don't have perfect certainty, the guards should not act rashly, so our people are all in the dark, and in the middle of the night, a man in black appeared in the cell with another person on his shoulder, judging by his body shape, the man in black should be a man, which does not match the sex of the murderer that Widow Liu said."

The credibility of what Widow Liu said is debatable, so the gender of the murderer, Mu Yuanjing, has never been decided.

Sure enough, I heard Wei Xu continue: "Although Widow Liu has been in contact with the murderer, she has never seen the appearance of the murderer, so her subordinates think that the gender of the murderer mentioned by Widow Liu cannot be used as a basis for finding the murderer. ”

"Does the man in black have a clue on his shoulder?"

"The hidden guard didn't have a chance to see the man's appearance, and the man didn't know how to stun the hidden guard and the guards guarding the cell, and when our people woke up, they found that Widow Liu had died in the prison and the person was gone."

Wei Xu didn't know that Widow Liu had been dropped.

Mu Yuanjing rubbed his forehead, which was a little swollen and painful, "What the man in black brought must be a stand-in for Widow Liu, this king doesn't believe that there are two people who are exactly the same in this world, and the corpse in the morgue must have used some method to completely turn into the appearance of Widow Liu." ”

Wei Xu heard it in a fog, and Fang Mubei kindly explained to him: "The prince has confirmed that the body in the morgue is not Widow Liu, but someone has become Widow Liu and was killed for her. ”

Wei Xu used his brain a little to understand the ins and outs of the matter.

The silence of the three of them gave Su Qingmo a chance to finally speak, "I know a way to completely change one person from form to face. ”

"What's the method?" Without waiting for Mu Yuanjing to speak, Fang Mubei on the side asked first.

Su Qingmo didn't say what the method was, but asked, "Do you know the three-shaped grass?" ”

There was a hint of excitement in Fang Mubei's voice, "I know that the tri-shaped grass is a kind of grass plant, and the form of the morning, noon and night is different, so it is called the three-shaped grass, this kind of grass is extremely common, and there are many in the backyard of the ya, but I don't know what the effect is." ”

Su Qingmo smiled, "Can you get some for me?" ”

Fang Mubei was particularly interested in the unknown, and that excitement was uncontrollable, so he rushed out of the study in a hurry and ran towards the backyard of the hidden world.

He wanted to know the purpose of the three-shaped grass, so he ran to the backyard of the yamen and picked a large bundle of three-shaped grass, and then quickly returned to the study and handed it to Su Qingmo.

"The princess said that the three-shaped grass is this?"

Su Qingmo confirmed, "That's right, it's it." ”

Fang Mubei held the three-shaped grass in his hand and looked at her with blank eyes.

Su Qingmo found it interesting, so he didn't delay any longer, "Let's go back to the morgue." ”

Su Qingmo didn't feel uncomfortable when he entered the morgue again, Mu Yuanjing subconsciously glanced at her, and after finding that her face was not unusual, he silently withdrew his gaze, and the hand in his sleeve that wanted to be stretched out no longer moved.

Su Qingmo took the three-shaped grass in Fang Mubei's hand, "Lord Wang, is there fire?" ”

Because it was not yet night, the candlestick in the corner of the morgue was not lit.

Fang Mubei walked to the window in a few steps, picked up the spare fire fold from the windowsill, lit it and handed it to Su Qingmo. She took the fire fold and lit the triformal grass in her hand.

Accompanied by a strange smell of smoke from the burning three-shaped grass, Su Qingmo walked to the corpse that still looked like Widow Liu, and quickly waved his arm, so that the smoke from the three-shaped grass burned enveloped the corpse, and in less than half a moment, the corpse's body began to change.

First, a few brown beetles the size of fingernails crawled out of the ears of the corpse, and then more insects emerged from the corpse's mouth and nose, one after another, densely, making Fang Mubei, who was a little closer, feel numb in his scalp.

The insects that came into contact with the air didn't struggle for long before they didn't move, Fang Mubei glanced at the insect corpse that fell next to the corpse's head, and silently took a step back.

After no more insects came out, Su Qingmo threw away the three-shaped grass, "Sure enough, it's the same as I thought." ”

Mu Yuanjing looked at her, and there was a light in his eyes that was fleeting.

"The Triformal Grass doesn't have any other functions other than being able to dissolve the Gu, and few people know about the use of the Triformal Grass, and even I discovered it by accident."

Su Qingmo continued: "The Transformation Gu is a harmless Gu worm, its function is only to transform one person into another person, and there is a necessary condition for using the Transformation Gu, that is, the person who is under the Gu must be a dead person. ”

Hearing this, Fang Mubei asked, "In other words, the person who replaced Widow Liu was already dead before being taken to prison by the man in black?" ”

Su Qingmo shook his head, "Before I saw Widow Liu, I was definitely in a coma, if I wanted to make the appearance of the corpse become Widow Liu, I could only plant Gu by Widow Liu herself." ”

Mu Yuanjing, who had never spoken, stopped what Fang Mubei was about to say and asked, "When will the effect of the Transformation Gu disappear?" ”

Su Qingmo blinked, always feeling that Mu Yuanjing's mood was a little wrong, "Probably after tonight, you can see the true appearance of the corpse tomorrow morning." ”

Mu Yuanjing didn't speak again, took Su Qingmo's hand and left the morgue two steps forward, and Wei Xu followed behind and walked out.

Fang Mubei still had questions to ask, hurriedly placed the body back, hurriedly locked the door of the morgue, ran a few steps to catch up with the three people who had already walked away, and was about to speak when Mu Yuanjing, who was holding Su Qingmo, glanced at him lightly, "Go back and take care of the corpse." ”

Mu Yuanjing, who was sitting in the carriage, faintly realized that he had some differences with Su Qingmo, but he couldn't figure out what the difference was for a while, looking at the people sitting quietly beside him, he had to put aside the doubts in his heart for the time being.

Taking his time, he believes that there will always be a clear day, and if that day does come, he will gladly accept whatever the outcome.

The two returned to the palace to spend the night peacefully and peacefully, and the next day, shortly after breakfast, Yong'an ran into Moxiangju from outside.

"Lord Wang, the person sent by Fang Zuo in the yamen said that the corpse has changed, please go to the yamen."

Originally, Mu Yuanjing also planned to take a trip after breakfast, but now that there are results, he will not delay.

Su Qingmo stopped the person who wanted to leave, "Lord Wang." ”

Mu Yuanjing turned to look at her, "What's wrong?" ”

Su Qingmo bit his lower lip and looked at him with blank eyes.

How could Mu Yuanjing not know that she also wanted to follow, but when he thought of Fang Mubei, he really didn't want to take her, and he always felt that he would be inexplicably irritable when he saw someone around her.

Su Qingmo didn't speak, and looked at Mu Yuanjing with a pair of pure black eyes that were as black as ink, but in the end, Mu Yuanjing could only be defeated.

He sighed softly in his heart and asked loosely, "Want to be with me?" ”

As soon as Mu Yuanjing's words came out, Su Qingmo couldn't wait to nod his head.

Fang Mubei in the hidden world was already waiting in the morgue, and after seeing the comer, he hurriedly said: "Sure enough, as the princess said, the corpse has shown its original appearance this morning. ”

Wei Xu arrived a little earlier, and he was a little helpless to tear away Fang Mubei, who had no vision, so as to make way for Mu Yuanjing and Su Qingmo.

The two stepped forward and saw the corpse of a man.

"Shapeshifting Gu can change the gender of corpses?" Mu Yuanjing asked Su Qingmo puzzled.

Su Qingmo was also a little surprised, "It's not written in this book, but according to the current situation, it should be okay." ”

Mu Yuanjing looked at the face he had seen in the coffin, "This king recognizes him." ”

The remaining three turned to look at him.

"This person is the male owner of the deceased's neighbor's house, and the person who found the deceased."
