It didn't take long for Xu Yichen and Shi Qingyun to come to the yamen, and after handing over the letters and tokens to the yamen, they came to the morgue smoothly.

Perhaps because he thought that these dried corpses were too terrifying, the official who led Xu Yichen and Shi Qingyun to come withdrew and said that he was at the door, and if he needed anything, he should be instructed.

The morgue and even the entire yamen were very clean, and there was no unpleasant smell, which Xu Yichen did not expect.

The morgue is not large, and there are 7 corpses neatly placed inside, their bodies are covered with white cloths, and they seem very quiet.

Xu Yichen walked to the nearest dried corpse, gently pinched the corner of the white cloth with his right hand, and took a deep breath, although he had been mentally prepared before coming, but when it was really time to face the dried corpse, he still had some hesitation in his heart.

He closed his eyes and slowly exhaled the air he had just inhaled deeply, trying his best to keep his heart calm, and then he opened his eyes and slowly removed the white cloth covering the corpse.

What greeted him was a shriveled face that was difficult to recognize, and with the exception of the eyes, nose, and mouth, the whole face was like a dead leaf, as if it would shatter into countless pieces at the slightest touch.

Xu Yichen did not usher in the expected feeling of nausea, but was very calm in his heart, which made him feel a little surprised.

As the white cloth continued to be removed, there were two very obvious holes in the neck of the dried corpse, which were more like bite marks left by sharp teeth breaking through the skin, and there was not a single scar on the whole body.

Xu Yichen looked at the hole in his neck, pinched his chin with his right hand, and secretly thought to himself: In this world, there won't really be vampires, right?

"Senior Brother Xu, this dried corpse is a little strange!"

Shi Qingyun stood beside Xu Yichen and looked at the dried corpse with him, thinking that a fairy like her, who had a temperament similar to fireworks in the world, would not bear to look at it directly when she saw this kind of scene, but she didn't even frown, and her face was very calm.

Xu Yichen nodded and said:

"Well, it's true that being drained of life force should be a very painful thing, but judging from the situation of this corpse, there is no painful expression on its face, and there is no trace of struggle on its body, so it feels very peaceful. ”

Shi Qingyun nodded and said:

"I thought so too, no matter what the circumstances, the overall performance of this corpse was too serene, like those wise men who calmly welcomed the coming of death. ”

Xu Yichen re-covered the white cloth on this corpse, removed the white cloth from the remaining 6 corpses in turn, and put it back on after careful inspection, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

In this way, there is only one possible situation, and that is to first make the victim unconscious, and then absorb their life force, and the force of the absorption is not very strong, like the feeling of boiling a frog in warm water.

But this is not quite right, although the purpose of the other party is not very clear, but there is no doubt that it will take a certain amount of time to extract life force in this way, and it cannot be completed in a very short time, and the city lord said that these corpses were found by the patrol soldiers after seeing the black shadow, even if the soldiers ran slowly, but after all, they would be faster than ordinary people, so it was too late.

This matter is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface, empathy, if Xu Yichen was the perpetrator, he would not commit murder in the city at all, but would have knocked him unconscious and taken him to the sparsely populated outside the city, so that he would not be discovered, and he would not have to race against time so much, so it is not logical for the perpetrator to do this.

Shi Qingyun saw Xu Yichen who was deep in thought, stood in front of him with some curiosity, carefully looked at the face that was not very outstanding, and thought to himself: What kind of person is he, why are the notes on his body so perfect?

Xu Yichen came back to his senses and found that Shi Qingyun was staring at his face, which made Xu Yichen's old face blush, you must know that in this world, he would feel shy and look away from the young lady even when he looked at him, let alone being stared at by the beautiful young lady.

He coughed a little embarrassedly and said:

"Senior sister Shi Qingyun, is there something stuck on my face?"

Shi Qingyun shook his head with a smile, and said in response to the question:

"Did you find anything?"

Xu Yichen shook his head and said:

"It's hard to say, I'll have to wait until I patrol the city with the patrol soldiers at night to see if I can find some clues. ”

Shi Qingyun nodded obediently and said:

"So, where are we going now?"

"Well, wait a minute in this yamen, I made an appointment with Lingling and Qing'er to meet here. ”

"Good!"

Xu Yichen and Shi Qingyun walked out of the morgue and briefly explained the situation to the official standing at the door, hoping to wait for their companions here.

The servant looked a little flattered, and as he led them to the council chamber, he instructed the handyman to prepare refreshments.

"This little brother, have you confirmed the identities of several corpses inside?"

"If you want to return to the spirit weapon, the identity of the corpses in here cannot be confirmed, you can also see it, these people have similar faces, and we can't see their detailed faces at all, and we have also announced the identification on the notice board, but no one has come to claim it, if it weren't for the fact that those corpses won't rot and won't smell, we all have a big head and don't know what to do. ”

Xu Yichen nodded, and then spoke:

"Then, have you checked the information on missing persons in the city?"

"All the information on record has been checked, and there is no match. ”

Xu Yichen nodded, at this time they had already come to the council hall, the council hall of the yamen was not big, the refreshments were delivered at the same time as they arrived, and the little brother of the yamen hurriedly went out after leading them in.

Xu Yichen seemed to have remembered something, and said to Shi Qingyun:

"By the way, does Senior Brother Huang know that we are here?"

Shi Qingyun shook his head and said:

"I don't know!"

"Huh?"

"But Senior Brother Xu, don't worry, Senior Brother Huang's ability to find people is very strong, and besides, we haven't left the city, he won't be unable to find it. ”

Xu Yichen sighed suspiciously, picked up the teacup beside him, and began to drink.

Shi Qingyun put the guqin behind him on his lap and played it casually, as if he was not interested in the refreshments beside him.
