"Brother Zhaoyu, have you found anything?"

Gongsun Mingzhao, who had been using a wooden stick to pick up the corpse's clothes to check, stopped his movements and threw the question to Murong Qin'er.

"So, Brother Rong Xin has discovered something?"

Murong Qin'er couldn't help but complain: "You are so speechless, why do you have to ask me a rhetorical question every time," but complaining and complaining, she didn't forget to get down to business, first took the veil away and sniffed the air, but hurriedly covered it and said, "Have you smelled an aroma in the air?" ”

Gongsun Mingzhao completely set his eyes on her this time.

"You smell the aroma?"

"Well, I wasn't sure just now, but the closer I get to these corpses now, the stronger the aroma I smell, and these aromas make people feel sick and irritated for no reason, I don't think this should be the smell of normal people."

Gongsun Mingzhao didn't rush to judge, but just called Lin Ping to him and asked, "Did Mayor Lin light something like incense in the courtyard before?" ”

Lin Ping shook his head blankly.

"These corpses are strange to say, they have been dead for a few days, but they don't have the slightest sign of decay and stench, if it weren't for this, I wouldn't have sent someone to park these corpses in my house."

"Then the two of you, or can anyone in the house smell the aroma on these corpses?"

"What? And the aroma? ”

When Lin Ping heard this, he actually ignored the ugly face of the corpse, lowered his head and sniffed it closely, and when he looked up, his eyes were full of shock.

"I didn't know before, and no one in the house who carried the corpse reported smelling any aroma, if you didn't say it today, we might not notice, I just got close to smell it, and it seems that there is really a very faint fragrance.

Steward Zhang, you come and smell it and see if it's my delusion. ”

Steward Zhang also stepped forward and lowered his head to sniff hard, and immediately frowned and straightened up.

"Master, the old slave also smelled it, but the smell was extremely light, if you don't smell it carefully, you really can't smell it."

Steward Zhang's words fell, and the courtyard suddenly fell silent, and Gongsun Mingzhao glanced at Murong Qin'er with deep meaning, but he only attracted Murong Qin'er to look at him innocently.

She is really innocent, she may just have a more sensitive nose and a more sensitive sense of smell, this fragrance is indeed very strong in her smell, otherwise she would not smell it as soon as she enters the yard and feel nauseous and depressed.

"Mayor Mare, do you have a knife on you?"

Gongsun Mingzhao's sudden question made Lin Ping stunned, where would he, a person who doesn't know martial arts, carry a knife with him? Besides, when he saw that the prince of the Southern Night Kingdom still dared to carry such a sharp weapon with him, did he not think that his life was long enough?

Gongsun Mingzhao knew the answer when he saw that he didn't react, and after a little thought, he casually pulled out the jade hairpin on the top of his head, and the hair that was originally tied up with the hairpin suddenly tilted, which was really more dazzling than the beauty emanation.

Without hesitation, he pierced the hairpin directly on the arm of the corpse in front of him, and then cut a hole with a slight force, and black blood gushed out, which was simply a torture for Murong Qin'er's sense of smell, even under the cover of the veil, the aroma that made her disgusting was still strong and unacceptable.

A burst of dizziness struck, and Murong Qin'er's eyes suddenly flickered, and suddenly a strong arm crossed her waist, hugging her and taking a few steps back.

After she stood firm and clear, she saw Gongsun Mingzhao frowning and looking at her, and seeing that she was fine, she let go of her hand and moved her eyes to the front.

She also followed Gongsun Mingzhao's gaze, but was shocked by the scene in front of her.

I saw that the insects that were stained with the black blood of the corpse and were still writhing were drilling out of the hole in the corpse's arm, and Lin Ping and the housekeeper had already retreated far away when they saw such a disgusting scene, and even began to retch.

"It seems that this is a Gu worm."

Gongsun Mingzhao's clear voice sounded beside him, and Murong Qin'er looked up at his clean and fair side face that was still light and breezy, and her heart also settled down.

Lin Ping, who had finished retching, walked up to Gongsun Mingzhao with a pale face and asked.

"Young Master Yuehua, look, what should I do next?"

"These Gu worms can survive in the corpse for so long, it's hard to guarantee that they won't continue to harm people, I think it's better to set it on fire."

When Lin Ping heard this, he turned to Steward Zhang behind him and ordered, "You quickly call a dozen people, fence this courtyard with straw, and then set it on fire." ”

"Yes, sir, I'll do it."

However, after a while, a raging fire broke out in the courtyard where the corpses were parked, and Gongsun Mingzhao, who was standing quietly and watching, reflected the orange firelight on his face, which made it difficult to see.
