Chapter 15: The Rival Camp

Hearing this, Claire stretched her frowning eyebrows, and hurriedly pushed Mousse:

"The child has been kneeling in the rain for so long, why don't you let him get up quickly." After she mentioned this, Mousse rushed to the door in a hurry, as if he felt that something was wrong, and slowed down with a cold face, walked to Mu Changfeng's side, and coughed lightly:

"What a stubborn temper...... Xiao Luo is a good boy, you can't bully him in the future, don't you hear! ”

Mu Changfeng raised his head suddenly, his blue eyes flashed confused, and he said in a trembling voice:

"Dad, what did you say?"

"I can agree that you are together, but you still need to figure out what you think." Mu Changfeng looked at him in disbelief, plucked his ears wet with rain, and for a while, he was so ecstatic that he became a little incoherent:

"Thank you...... Thank you Dad! ”

"Someone, send His Highness back to rest." As soon as the words fell, two palace maids came out to support Mu Changfeng, he giggled, and his eyes blurred by the rain narrowed into a slit, and Mu Si saw that his whole person suddenly became soft and pleasant that he had never seen before, and he couldn't help but be stunned: It seems that Xiao Luo Yufeng'er is really special.

……

Judge's Office.

"Master Zhang, I just found a corpse in a small river fifty miles away from the city. A pestle has been sent for an autopsy, and it is preliminarily judged that he died of drowning, and it is the son of Aunt An...... Do you need to notify the family of the deceased to claim it? ”

Zhang He and Ye Shi looked at each other, and Ye Shi hurriedly said:

"Wait, take us around."

"Yes!"

The winter frost and snow came unexpectedly, dyeing all the greenery and luxuriance overnight. The leaves of the camphor tree were blown by the cold wind, swirling and drifting desolate in the air, leaving bare and ugly branches.

Ye Shi frowned and asked:

"Where did the dead be salvaged?"

"The lower reaches of the river, the last section."

"Where does the river end up?" Zhang He asked.

"The moat, inside the capital of Yuguo. If it weren't for the sudden frost yesterday, which made the river flow more slowly, the body would have been found in the city a few days ago. Ye Shi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he suddenly spoke:

"Pestle, how long has this corpse been soaked in water?"

"Depending on the swelling, it's about three to five days. There were no new external or internal injuries on the body, except for the bursting of the lung bubbles due to asphyxiation. ”

"Zhang He, do you remember how many days have passed since he disappeared?"

"Counting today, it's exactly three days." He looked up against the first article on the first page of the record.

"This should be the first scene of death." She approached the corpse and carefully observed it while touching it with her hand, and the pestle and Zhang He on the side looked at her in amazement, and couldn't help but admire. Zhang He endured the sourness that surged up from his stomach to his throat, and said with difficulty:

"Miss Ye, since Pestle Zuo said so, you don't have to check it yourself again, right? The time before and after this was right, and the deceased had to pass through this river every day, so he should have stumbled and fallen into the water on the way back. Ye Shi pursed her lips and was silent, focusing on finding clues: although the facts told her that this case was a simple accident, she thought about it quietly but felt that there was a contradiction.

The day of his disappearance was the day after the rainstorm, and it was highly likely that the soil soaked by the rain had loosened and caused a slippery paralysis. But it is precisely because of this that it is even more impossible to leave clear footprints on such wet and soft soil without being covered by the footprints of the coming and going. But the footprints she saw by the river that belonged to the deceased were very consistent in size and length, but the traces were too clear and made her think that someone had deliberately forged them. The purpose is to make them mistakenly believe that the deceased has fallen into the water. There is also the depth and width of the river where it falls, because the piers have to be made, and the ground at the bottom of the river is three or four inches higher than the rest of the place, and the width is about one zhang. A tall man of five feet and seven inches fell into the water, and if the water level rose to the shore high that day, it would not be enough to reach his neck. With his mouth and nose not yet flooded and the river being less wide, he had enough time to save himself ashore.

Although everything was her speculation at this point, her subjective intuition told her that she was right. Suddenly, she saw a half-inch hole in the hem of the deceased's clothes, as if it had been cut by some sharp weapon, and the corners looked very neat and precise except for one or two frizzy threads. She frowned and asked:

"Is this hole salvage?" Pestle took a closer look, pondered for a while, and said:

"Hmm...... Yes. But girl, this may be caused by some sharp weapon in the process of the corpse drifting, it can't be a murder weapon, right? Ye Shi cut off the cloth with scissors and whispered to the sun:

"If, as you say, this mark is caused by sharp objects at the bottom of the water or on the shore, then you should know that the body is affected by the force of the current in all directions as it floats. When a sharp object pierces this nylon garment, it will pull out the thread when it is carried by the current, and the thread will not easily break due to the water flow. But you look at this, except for this wisp, it's extremely clean. Zhang He blinked, and just wanted to refute, but listened to Ye Shi continue:

"It rained a few days ago, and you know it. Whether it is a sharp weapon on the bottom or on the shore, it is impossible to cause such a gap after such erosion and corrosion. ”

"But this is just Miss Ye's inference, there is no direct evidence, how can you hunt down the criminal?" Zhang He is embarrassed.

"Bring the body back to the yamen first, and let Aunt An confirm it." Ye Shi took a deep breath, waved his hand and said:

"You go back first, I'll take a look, and then I'll come."

Zhang He nodded and left with the group. Ye Shi looked at the gradually gray sky, paused, and walked straight towards the river.

There must be some clues she didn't find. As she approached the river, she suddenly heard someone talking. The body subconsciously crouched in place, and with the help of the sparse branches and leaves of the bushes, she vaguely saw two people, one tall and one short. They were facing Ye Shi sideways, unable to see their faces or hear the conversation clearly. She felt that something was not quite right for no reason. So he used his internal force to hide his breath and tried to look at the two of them.

The shorter man in black took out a thin bottle from his arms, and Ye Shi's pupils shrank suddenly: That...... It is a container for collecting resentful spirits that you can see at the Shangyuan Lantern Festival...... It's them! She knew it wasn't that simple!

The taller man wore a pure white long jacket, which made his back thin and thin. He paused, as if unintentionally glanced at Ye Shi's hiding place, she hurriedly lowered her head, and her heart was shocked: This person ...... What a keen insight!

At the moment, the conversation over there continues.

"Remnant, thanks to you, this vial is about to fill up. Now we have the Divine Beast in our hands, not to mention the Four Clans, even the entire Divine Continent will be under our control! ”

"Is this gift sincere enough?"

Wu Ming narrowed her eyes, hooked her lips and said:

"Naturally, you are now the hero of our revival plan! I still have some things to do, so I'll go first. ”

The remnant nodded, and the black-clothed man on the opposite side suddenly turned into a black shadow and disappeared in place. Ye Shi probed the probe, trying to see the man's appearance clearly, but as if he had telepathy, he turned his head towards her.

After Ye Shi saw his face, his pupils suddenly constricted, and he rushed out without saying a word.

"Zuo Sheng! You ......" She watched in disbelief at the man she had been thinking about for so long actually mingling with the enemy, and she was stupidly convinced that he was leaving for his own reasons. She punched Zuo Sheng in the face, using eight points of force, and the person on the other side dodged with extreme dexterity, and sneered:

"That cowardly and incompetent fool has died a long time ago, I didn't expect anyone to worry about it." The raging anger ignited in his heart, Ye Shi snorted, his fists fell like dense raindrops, and he dodged and dodged, but he gradually fell behind because of his lack of martial arts.

Ye Shi didn't understand why he made such a decision, she couldn't figure it out, her heart became more and more unhappy, and the strength in her hand increased a lot: she said that if he really became a villain, she would definitely beat him until he sobered up!

"Snap" She slammed her fist into the tree behind her, forced him between her arms, stared at him tightly, gritted her teeth and asked:

"Why?" Although the latter had many colors on his body, he didn't seem to feel pain, and smiled coldly:

"Because he was too weak, he was devoured by me." Ye Shi punched him in the abdomen, he covered it with a muffled snort, his face turned pale, and his throat swelled with bitterness, but he still chuckled indifferently:

"See my masterpiece? The highest level of murder is to make people die quietly, so that you ......" He leaned close to her ear and said in a dumb voice:

"I'm so anxious that I don't have a clue."

He raised his eyebrows, but found that Ye Shi was not only provoked, but laughed, and she sneered:

"You're trying to provoke me. And I'm ...... I won't let you get your wish. As soon as he finished speaking, an extremely soft object covered his lips, and the whole person froze, and his breathing stagnated for a moment. After Ye Shi felt his change, he snorted coldly and attacked the city strategy pool more fiercely and hotly, not allowing him to have the slightest chance to talk back. She wanted to teach him a good lesson, but the moment her lips and teeth touched, endless thoughts flooded into her heart like a tide, making her eyes slightly astringent.

She bit his upper lip hatefully, and the sweet blood spread, soothing the anger in her chest. Seeing that the man did not move, she raised her eyes to look into his eyes, and the fleeting emotion was like a bubble, and she was soon drowned in the boundless dark ridicule and staring.

Those eyes seemed to pass through her, looking at something. And she never stayed in his eyes. Ye Shi was taken aback by that look, like a basin of cold water, drenched from head to toe, her heart was instantly cold.

Ye Shi, what are you doing? He's a murderer.

A voice in her heart said softly. She jerked him away, and heard his voice sound slowly and muffled:

"The taste of his woman is nothing more than that. Light, and tasteless...... It's better to cut the throat and splash the blood from it to smell good. ”
