Chapter 20: Leaves
"Are there any other wounds on her body?" asked Mu Youning with his eyes raised.
Bai Yujin glanced at her, her eyes were very complicated, full of disbelief and desire.
Mu Youning frowned slightly, his eyes actually made her feel that she was a disciple who was not afraid of words.
"Bai Gongzi, what kind of eyes are these. Mu Youning was a little displeased.
Bai Yujin looked her up and down twice with his eyes, and said in a rather meaningful tone: "This son just didn't expect Miss Mu to be so ......."
He thought for a moment before answering: "Unrestrained." ”
"This son is a man, but also a gentleman, how can he turn a woman's body at will, even if it is a corpse, wouldn't it ruin the reputation of this son. ”
Bai Yujin said, took out his feather fan and shook it twice, looking personable and not feminine.
The corners of Mu Youning's forehead were full of black lines, and if it weren't for her identity, she would even want to roll her eyes.
Although the folk customs of this dynasty are relatively open, and there are also female servants and female doctors, they are very few.
What's more, there is no gender difference in the eyes of the doctor, and this matter is related to the truth of the case, and the time is urgent, so there is no reason for such twisting.
"Then ask Bai Gongzi to go out first, and I'll check if there are any other wounds on Miss Wu's body. ”
Bai Yujin smiled when he heard this: "It doesn't have to be so troublesome, just turn my son's back." ”
After saying that, he really turned his back.
Mu Youning waited for him to turn around and began to untie Miss Wu's clothes.
Without thinking, Bai Yujin turned around again, and when this person saw her movements, he exclaimed in an extremely exaggerated exclamation, covered his eyes, and hurriedly turned around again: "Cough, this son wants to say, if General Mu finds any clues, remember to tell this son." ”
Mu Youning responded lightly, completely ignoring his contrived movements.
She tore Miss Wu's shirt open, and suddenly saw something floating out of her belt.
Mu Youning hurriedly caught it, and it turned out to be a fallen leaf.
I saw that this leaf was about the size of half her palm, in the shape of a crown, with a little yellowish green in the middle, and the leaf stem was slender and slender.
She had never seen this kind of leaf, and it shouldn't be a tree in the capital.
She pulled the handkerchief from her waist, carefully wrapped the leaves, and put them in her cuffs.
As far as she knew, although Miss Wu's family was in Jinzhou, she had been at her grandfather's house in Kyoto for two months.
She is in the capital, but there are leaves on her waist that are not trees that grow in the capital, which can only indicate that Miss Wu has been to other places recently.
This may be a clue.
Mu Youning retracted his mind, lifted her underwear, and looked at it carefully.
She could feel the warmth and softness of the skin under her hands, not like a corpse.
In just a few hours, the body was about to become stiff, cold, and finally turn to ashes.
Dissipate in this world.
From then on, the glory and disgrace, joys and sorrows, and joys of a lifetime will be slowly forgotten with death, and finally never mentioned again.
The so-called life and death is nothing more than that.
"Bai Gongzi, turn around. Mu Youning dressed Miss Wu and said softly.
"How, have you found anything?" Bai Yujin asked as he walked forward.
Mu Youning shook his head: "Except for the wound behind her ear, there are no other wounds on her body"
She continued: "Bai Gongzi, can you learn how to plant Gu for others?"
There are no wounds, indicating that Miss Wu was unconsciously and never forced to fall into the Gu.
Bai Yujin nodded: "There are two ways, one is to take it orally and eat the Gu worms, and the other is to enter the blood vessels through the human wound outside the body. ”
"Most Gu insects are extremely small, similar in size to mosquitoes, and even if they feel the feeling of being bitten, others will only think that they have been bitten by insects. ”
"After the Gu worm enters the human body, there will be a period of incubation period, during which the human body as the owner will not have any discomfort, and the Gu worm will also take this opportunity to lay a large number of eggs. When the egg matures, once the sub-Gu is summoned by the mother Gu, it will wreak havoc in the host's body. It is not until the owner dies that the Gu worms in the body lose their nutrients that they will die. ”
"Miss Wu's situation is obviously the second one. ”
"Is there a condition?" Mu Youning asked when he heard this.
"The female Gu can't ion the Gu within a kilometer radius. Bai Yujin said lightly.
Mu Youning said: "In other words, this person has approached Miss Wu, and it is even very likely that he knows her whereabouts." ”
"It stands to reason that it is. After all, Miss Wu is a boudoir girl, and she is in the boudoir all day long, and the people she comes into contact with should be fixed. ”
Mu Youning thought of the leaf in his cuff, frowned, but didn't say anything.
"Now that the time has passed, I am afraid that the palace gate has been keyed, and you and I might as well live together in the Tai Hospital. Mu Youning looked at the leak on the table and said.
Bai Yujin raised his eyebrows: "General Mu is really free and easy, and he is not afraid that this son will affect your reputation." ”
Mu Youning seemed to think of something, and there was a little more coldness in his eyes: "Indeed, after all, Bai Gongzi is a disciple who likes to trespass on his daughter's boudoir." ”
Bai Yujin raised his hand and touched his nose, it was rare to have some reason: "Thanks to Miss Mu's mercy that day, otherwise Bai would have already gone to hell." However, if this son says, that day was just an accident, can you believe it?"
The corners of Mu Youning's mouth hooked up with a sneer, and he stared at him coldly.
"If Bai Gongzi helped me find out the real culprit of this case, I would have never happened that day. ”
The corners of Bai Yujin's mouth curved slightly: "A word is a certainty." ”
As he spoke, he walked to the outer room and left the inner room to Mu Youning.
Mu Youning really wasn't worried that Bai Yujin would have any bad behavior, she knew very well that although this person was unruly on the surface, he actually never let people get close.
She didn't care about the corpse either.
She has seen a lot of corpses since she was a child, wading in the sea of blood, and she has never seen any kind of corpse.
She folded her clothes and lay down on a small couch next to Miss Wu and closed her eyes.
I didn't see the white clothes behind the curtain of the door, flashing.
On the second day, shortly after Mao, Mu Youning was woken up by a loud noise.
She rubbed the corners of her forehead, got up from the couch, and walked out.
I saw that at the entrance of the Tai Hospital, several Tai doctors in official uniforms surrounded a person who was also wearing official uniforms, talking about something.
Bai Yujin sat lazily on the stool, and the paper fan in his hand tapped the table again.
Seeing Mu Youning, he raised the paper fan in his hand and said softly, "Morning." ”
The few people at the door seemed to have just discovered that there were people in the hospital.
The voice suddenly stopped.
The court sentenced Li Tong to lead the person and walked towards the two.
"This is Lord Wu and his wife. Li Tong introduced: "These two are the adults who were ordered by the emperor to investigate Miss Wu's case, General Mu and Li Gongzi. ”
When Mrs. Wu heard this, she strode forward and grabbed Mu Youning's hand: "General Mu, where is my daughter now?"
Mu Youning ignored the pain in his hand and said lightly: "Madame, come with me." ”
They followed.
"We have already found out the real cause of Miss Wu's death, she is not poisoned, but a Gu!"
