Li Huaiyun glanced at the corpse and pondered for a moment, "Could it be that the appearance of this corpse itself is also changing, so you can't recognize it?" ”

"What?" Yan Zheng was speechless in surprise! "What you say is a bit unbelievable! Could it be that the corpses are also getting old? Didn't you just say that the age of her epiphyseal line positioning is seventeen or eighteen years old? ”

"That's one thing!" Li Huaiyun pointed to the corpse and said, "Look at it here, you can see wrinkles on the corpse's face and the corners of the eyes, and these wrinkles are impossible for a seventeen or eighteen-year-old woman!" ”

Li Huai used his hand to pull the corpse's mouth open and looked inside carefully, "Moreover, the teeth in the mouth of this corpse have four wisdom teeth that have been fully grown, indicating that the deceased cannot be eighteen years old!" ”

"Wisdom teeth?"

Li Huaiyun patted his face, "You should be older at this age, in the innermost."

Yan Zheng moved his tongue in his mouth, "This is also what your aunt taught you!" ”

"Huh!" Li Huaiyun immediately nodded, "Yes,"

"What a strange woman, how can she understand the mystery of the body so well!"

I made it up! Li Huaiyun thought to himself, if my aunt knew about it, I would blow her so much outside, and I wouldn't be beaten to death by her!

The wooden kite was a little puzzled, "According to what you said, the epiphyseal line is not closed, but the face is old, this is a bit fantastical!" ”

Li Huaiyun pondered for a moment, "The only explanation is that this maid is not dead, she has been alive inside the trunk, but the inside of her body has stopped growing. ”

Yan Zheng frowned, looking at the corpse, he felt quite ridiculous about Li Huaiyun's statement.

"That's nonsense! Your judgment is too subjective! ”

"Remember what I said? Once the case involves monsters, then there will definitely be things that do not conform to the logic of normal life. ”

"And that means no one can figure out what's going on!"

Explain it in this ghostly way! Yan Zheng looked at him with questioning eyes, "Is this too hasty?" ”

"Besides, even if it is confirmed that this servant girl was not dead at the time, and is still getting old, what does that do?"

Li Huaiyun was very calm in the face of this questioning, "This conclusion is not useless, it can be seen that maybe, the truth of the princess's death may be the work of the monster." ”

"Ahh Yan Zheng and Mu Kite were both very surprised.

"My mother's death is related to monsters!"

"It's very likely!" Li Huaiyun said, "After all, a drug that can make people hallucinate, and later, think that they are still clear, it is impossible to do it in the hands of people, only those monsters with a charming heart can do it!" ”

"That's what I said, monsters will make the case unreasonable."

The wooden kite stood aside, her expression solemn, the more complicated this case became, and she didn't have a clue at all on her side, "Then what is the purpose of this monster killing my mother!" ”

Li Huaiyun picked up the jade carving on the side and put it in front of him, "Remember what this is?" ”

"This jade carving! It's something that the widow discarded at the well. ”

"Yes, the things that can be used to conceal demonic energy have something to do with the black-robed man."

The wooden kite gritted its teeth tightly and spit out a few words, "Damn! It's that guy again, I can't imagine that my mother's case is actually related to him! ”

Li Huaiyun stood up and came to the locust tree, most of the clues in this case are actually in this old tree.

Why did someone put the maid in the trunk of a tree? And it's like hibernation in it? Who was the murderous eunuch?

Under all kinds of problems, Li Huaiyun realized that cutting the trunk of the tree to find clues was probably more direct than dissecting the corpse.

He had fists on his arms, and without thinking much of it, he climbed up the trunk and leaned towards the cut in the trunk.

Li Huaiyun was still more worried, for fear that if he put his hand in, he would be attacked by the unknown creatures inside.

He slowly reached into the trunk of the tree, lifting it up from time to time to make sure that he could retract it at the slightest danger, and then, gently pressing it inside, he found that there was nothing but the fluffy wood fibers.

Just inside the trunk, compared to the inner layer, the wood fiber has become slightly more elastic.

He could clearly feel something on the gloves, and there was a viscous liquid on the surface of the fiber.

Li Huaiyun always felt that the thing was a little disgusting, so he lifted his hand directly and found that the surface of the fist was stained with a layer of pale yellow liquid, similar to gelatin.

What is this? Li Huaiyun gently rubbed it in his hand, this thing is very viscous, but the fluidity is not bad.

Yan Zheng saw him coming down from the tree and hurriedly asked, "What did you find?" ”

"This?" Li Huaiyun showed his fist gloves, "I don't know what it is." ”

Yan Zheng wanted to touch it directly with his hands, but was stopped by Li Huaiyun, because he didn't understand the ingredients of this thing, and if it was poisonous, it would be very troublesome.

Li Huaiyun carefully took off the boxing gloves, and solemnly immediately ordered his subordinates to wrap up the boxing gloves, he knew that this thing was also one of the clues.

"There is a lot of water in this trunk, and from the time the body was first taken out, it was unusually cold, and the inside of this locust tree was like a large ice cellar, and as long as there was a vacant space, things could be stored in it."

"That's why there is so much moisture on this corpse, including all the clothes."

Yan Zheng also stood beside the trunk of the tree, he groped for it on the surface with his hands, Li Huaiyun's words made him quite puzzled, and he didn't even understand what it meant.

"Li Gongzi, I have never understood, what do you mean? I don't understand this at all. ”

"Normal! Lord Yan has never been in contact with monsters, and all his judgments are in a hurry to normal human behavior, so he is not clear about such a thing. ”

Yan Zheng sighed, and hurriedly asked, "Then please ask Childe to solve the confusion on your behalf,"

"I'm just guessing, and there's no actual evidence!"

Li Huaiyun was silent for a moment, and then said, "Then let me tell you the general idea of this case in detail!" This is a fairly typical case, there are clues everywhere, but the clues are never connected because we are missing a key knowledge. ”

Yan Zheng stood up straight, pricked up his ears, and prepared to listen carefully to what he said, on the one hand, for fear of missing something, and on the other hand, for fear of not being able to understand in time.

The wooden kite raised his hand and pointed at him vigorously, "Don't talk this nonsense, hurry up and talk about the case, I'm still waiting for the murderer who stabbed my mother." ”

This woman is really anxious! At this time, there is no more thank you!

Li Huaiyun waved his sleeves and pondered for a moment, "This case looks ordinary, it seems to be just an accident, but the truth hidden behind the case is not simple at all, the black-robed man obviously has a plan."

"First of all, a few simple words! This case should start before the princess fell into the water. ”

The wooden kite really couldn't bear it, and the other party's slowness and reasoning shouted loudly, "Hurry up, you just say how my mother died!" And who the murderer is! ”

Yan Zheng immediately retorted, "Princess, our Dali Temple is dealing with the case, we can't just finish talking about these things. ”

He called in his assistant, who was assisting in the investigation, and asked him to start recording what might have happened in the case.

The wooden kite pursed her lips.

Li Huaiyun said, "This case starts with the death of the princess who fell into the water, in Qihua Palace, this locust tree has long been there, and at a specific time, it will emit a smell, which directly makes people hallucinate, and it is to make people notice that this condition must be a special weather to achieve this kind of condition." ”

"The deceased had taken care of the princess's daily life before his death, so he knew everything about the princess, and he only needed to put some hoarfrost on the princess's clothes and the clothes you wore when you were a child, and then he could carry out the plan."

"White Frost!" Yan Zheng looked at Li Huaiyun with a puzzled face, he asked the question first, it was about the fact that after this operation, there were not as many questions as he asked, he retorted, "At that time, it was autumn, and it should not have been cold to the point of hoarfrost." ”

"I think you're all mistaken!" Li Huaiyun said directly, "The hoarfrost I am talking about is not the kind of hoarfrost that appears on the surface of the grass when the weather is cold, it is the kind of hoarfrost that appears on the edge of the damp wall." ”

"That's because of the gypsum powder, which leads to this situation."

This also explains why the clothes on the corpse have this kind of hoarfrost, and it may be stained when they are usually in the corner!

Li Huaiyun continued, "That's the reason, the princess was delirious and fell into the water! And the wooden kite you were taken out of the dormitory by another person, and stayed in the sleeping place all the time, and did not wake up. ”

"After that, the people in the palace found that the princess had disappeared, so they searched for it as soon as possible and notified the emperor."

"After some searching, I finally found the trace of the princess in the lake, so I salvaged it ashore, and the emperor was quite angry!"

The wooden kite asked curiously, "Wait a minute, how did you know that the faint king was quite angry?" ”

Li Huaiyun said, "I'm afraid you didn't pay attention, when I was eating in the house before, the prince said that when the theme was autumn, the emperor's eyes suddenly turned red!" ”

"The princess died in the middle of the season, and he suddenly realized that the time was somewhat similar!"

Li Huaiyun sighed, "This can also show that the emperor is very memorable to that scene!" ”

"I can't see this scene, I think he doesn't care!"

"Wooden kite! He is the emperor, he is originally in that high position, and his joy and anger are invisible, and no one can find his heart. ”

Li Huaiyun said to Mu Kite, "The internal response of the two bedrooms should have been arranged next to the princess very early. ”

"Before the case happened, the two people had been looking for an opportunity to lurk in the Qihua Palace, and after the incident, one of them was swallowed by the locust tree and became a corpse."

"Engulfed by a locust tree?" Yan Zheng looked at him with an incredible gaze, "You mean this locust tree is a demon?" ”

"Yes!"

"Then this corpse was devoured by a monster?"
