The moon was in the sky, and the bright moonlight was quietly sprinkled on the ground.

Ye Feng glanced up at the bright full moon, sighed, lowered his head and continued to be busy.

In this moon, when the stars are sparse and the night is quiet, he can't rest yet, and he has to work hard here.

Beside him, Tang Da and the were also working as hard as him, they were doing the same thing, digging graves!

What they are digging is the grave of Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou, who died in a fire three days ago in the village below the mountain.

Originally, the deceased was great, and it was safe to be buried in the earth, and it was not appropriate to disturb it again.

But Ye Feng always had a question in his heart, if he didn't figure it out, he wouldn't be reconciled, and besides, Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou must also hope to find out the real culprit and clear their grievances.

So he called Tang Da and them to come together, and took advantage of the night to open the coffin of Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou for an autopsy, and he must understand the doubts in his heart.

It's just that he didn't call Tang Rou, a pampered eldest lady like Tang Rou, and asked her to dig up people's graves and examine the dead bodies together, but she was afraid that she wouldn't do it if she was killed.

No, the process girl must be brought, as early as in the capital, he saw the process girl's autopsy methods, that is really a must, tonight is all up to her.

Cheng Nianzhen squatted aside at this moment, watching Ye Feng and them digging graves with interest, his clumsy movements also looked so cute in her eyes.

Ye Feng and Tang Da are both martial arts practitioners, and their skills are not bad, but for this work of shoveling soil and digging the ground, it is the first time that the eldest girl has been in the sedan chair, after all, one of them is the son of an official eunuch, and the other is the eldest young master of the Tang Sect, when have they ever done such hard work?

The shovels in their hands now did not obey the call at all, and although they were tired and sweaty, their progress was slow.

Fortunately, there is also a with natural powers, Helian Tie, this kid seems to have endured hardships before, and has done farm work, a shovel makes it fly up and down, like juggling, Ye Feng and Tang Da were stunned.

While Ye Feng was working, he couldn't help but think of his righteous brother Zhang Fatzi, if he was here now, he would have asked him to dig a grave under the bright moon and breeze, but I was afraid that he would have been complaining a long time ago, and strange things would continue.

Thinking of Zhang Fatzi, Ye Feng couldn't help but worry in his heart, I don't know where the two righteous brothers are now?

Just thinking about it, I only heard the sound of "click", and the's shovel touched a hard thing, and it seemed that it had dug into the coffin of Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou.

Ye Feng and Tang Da glanced at each other, and their spirits were lifted.

After a period of busy work, Uncle Zhou's coffin was finally completely exposed.

Under the light of the torches planted on the ground around, it can be seen that this is a simple thin wooden coffin, which is said to be the master of the dust, and the temple paid for the funeral affairs of the old couple.

Thinking about such two kind old men, who have worked hard all their lives, but after they died, they had nothing to grow, and they didn't even leave any savings, so they could only be buried in such a simple thin wooden coffin, so shabby, Miss Cheng couldn't help but feel a burst of sour nose.

Miss Cheng took out a piece of ginger that had been prepared a long time ago, put it in her mouth, covered her face with a fragrant square scarf, covered her mouth and nose, and nodded at the: "Open it!"

It didn't take much effort for the to open the lid of the coffin.

A scorched stench and the smell of rotting corpses wafted out, and the black face of the suddenly turned iron-blue, and he turned around and walked away, not daring to look at it again.

Tang Da glanced at him with some disdain, such a big man, he would be afraid of two corpses!

He poked his head out and looked into the coffin, where the bodies of Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou were lying neatly side by side in the coffin. Their whole bodies were charred black, and they couldn't see their original appearance at all.

At this time, he noticed that Ye Feng had also walked away with a calm face, turned his eyes to the side, and did not dare to look here.

He was feeling strange in his heart, when he saw Miss Cheng move.

She walked over to the coffin, first with a white cloth

The glove's hands touched the entire body of the two corpses.

Tang Da couldn't help but feel deep admiration, a petite girl's family, she was not afraid of the corpse, and dared to touch it, if it were him, maybe she would have to think about it.

But the next scene Tang Da saw really thrilled him!

He saw Miss Cheng take out a knife and gently cut open the chests of the two corpses.

With the cutting of her knife, with a "poof", streams of pale black viscous corpse water poured out of the corpse, overflowing.

Tang Da seemed to be able to smell the stench of corpse water immediately, and his stomach seemed to be suddenly tightly grasped by his big hand, churning for a while, opening his mouth and letting out a few retching sounds, almost throwing up on the spot.

He hurriedly turned around and walked away, and walked over to stand side by side with Ye Feng and the, looking to the side, barely suppressing his churning stomach.

As soon as he turned his head, he saw that Ye Feng and the were looking at him with an expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and he understood why these two people suddenly walked away just now, it seemed that they must have already seen Miss Cheng's appalling autopsy method.

The three big men stood side by side with their backs to the coffin, their eyes looking at the moonlit field in front of them, and the strange sounds coming from Miss Cheng when she cut the corpse came to their ears.

I don't know how long it has been, there was a sound of footsteps behind her, and Miss Cheng had already finished examining the two corpses, and slowly walked over while taking off the gloves on her hands.

Looking at the gloves stained with sticky corpse water in her hand, Tang Da's stomach, which had just been barely suppressed, suddenly began to churn again.

Ye Feng looked at Miss Cheng, full of eager hope, and asked, "How is it?"

Miss Cheng nodded: "You guessed it again, Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou were not burned to death by the fire at all, they were already dead before the fire." ”

Tang Da frowned, and asked with some disbelief: "The corpses have been burned like this, how do you know that they were dead before the fire?"

Miss Cheng stretched out her hand and took off the square scarf on her face, and said with a gloomy face: "But whoever is burned to death by the fire, burned by the flames and the smoke is billowing out, they will definitely shout loudly, so that they will inhale a lot of smoke and dust around them, and their mouths and throats may be filled with smoke and dust. But when I examined their mouths, throats, and even lungs, there was no smoke at all. ”

"Coupled with the fact that the bones of the larynx of both of them had been shattered, it was clear that they had been strangled to death by a force before they were set on fire, so that by the time the fire started, they were no longer breathing, and they would no longer breathe in the smoke. ”

Tang Da nodded suddenly in realization: "I see." ”

As soon as I turned around, I suddenly remembered that since Miss Cheng had to cut open the throats of the two corpses and cut their lungs just now, her stomach couldn't stop churning for a while.

Ye Feng nodded at this time, and said to himself: "That's right." ”

Miss Cheng looked at him and asked, "What's right, what do you think of?"

She had been warmly taken care of by Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou, and at this moment, she naturally hoped very much to find out the murderer in order to comfort the second elder under the spring.

Ye Feng thought about it and said: "Today, Master Renshan once said that this accidental fire was originally a trivial matter, and it could be handled by sending an ordinary deacon monk, but Master Lichen, as the head of the Discipline Academy, insisted on coming to investigate this matter in person, which is really a bit of a murderous knife, and I feel that this matter must be unusual." ”

"Now we have examined the bodies of Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou, and they clearly killed them by someone after they had their throats choked to death, and then they set fire to them, disguised as the scene of an accidental fire. Master Lichen has served as the head of the Discipline Academy for many years, he must be an extremely careful and cautious person, and the corpses of these two elders are the aftermath arranged by him personally, how can he not see it?"

However, Master Renshan clearly said that the final conclusion of Master Chen's investigation was Yi

died of a fire outside, so he clearly didn't tell the truth. ”

When Tang Da heard this, he blinked and said, "The reason why he did this is because ......"

Ye Feng nodded, and said: "Unless it is the object of his suspicion at this time, and this suspect has a very high status, and before there is no conclusive evidence, Master Lichen is reluctant to say it explicitly, so as not to startle the snake." That's why he lied that it was an accidental fire and hastily closed the case. ”

Everyone felt justified and nodded their heads.

Tang Da said in a deep voice: "Although Master Lichen has closed the case openly, he must continue to investigate it secretly." ”

Ye Feng sighed: "Maybe that's the real reason why the murderer would take the risk and set up such an ingenious plan to poison and kill Master Chen. ”

Tang Da thought for a while, and suddenly asked Miss Cheng, "I wonder if Miss Cheng can see what kind of martial arts were used to choke the throats of the two old men?"

Cheng Nianzhen didn't know martial arts, so she wasn't familiar with martial arts moves or anything, but she still described the broken laryngeal bones of the two old men in as much detail as possible.

Tang Da pondered for a moment, and suddenly his face changed, he looked up at Ye Feng, and said in a low voice: "Shaolin Dragon Claw Hand!"

Ye Feng's face also changed: "You mean the dragon claw hand in the Shaolin Seventy-two stunts?"

Tang Da nodded and sighed: "Now we know at least a little, if the murderer who killed the two old men and Master Lichen is the same person, this person is at least a big stele wrestler, a dragon claw hand, and an iron finger Zen skill, and his status in the temple must be extraordinary." ”

He frowned and shook his head, feeling a little unbelievable: "Shaolin seventy-two stunts, in addition to having a foundation behind him, also need to have a certain status in the temple, ordinary monks have practiced hard for many years, it is extremely rare to be proficient in a stunt, but this person has three stunts at the same time, and it may be far more than these three, is this possible?"

Ye Feng was silent, didn't Master Renshan say today that there is now a senior monk in the Shaolin Temple who is proficient in more than ten of the seventy-two stunts, which is unparalleled in ancient times?

This high monk is the world-famous master of Ning Ran Reform!

But if you want to say that Master Chang is the murderer, Ye Feng doesn't believe it anyway.

How could a high-ranking monk of his stature and status kill two elderly peasant households who were completely incapable of martial arts and had no power to restrain chickens? Not to mention poisoning and killing his own junior brother, Master Lichen.

Isn't the Master of Reform already living in seclusion in that grove, concentrating on the Elder Scrolls?

So the murderer must not be him!

Ye Feng told himself very resolutely.

But why did he faintly feel a trace of uneasiness in his heart, a kind of uncertainty?

He was so engrossed that he whispered, "How so? Why is that?"

Miss Cheng looked at him in a trance, and said coquettishly: "No matter why he is, now you all have to bury Uncle Zhou's coffin back first." It's not too early, hurry up and go back to rest, go back and think slowly!"

Thinking of backfilling the dug grave, Ye Feng suddenly felt discouraged, but this job can't be avoided, sooner or later he has to do it.

He turned around and began to look for a shovel, ready to get to work.

At the moment when he turned around, he suddenly heard Tang Da beside him say a little surprised "Huh?", and stood in place in a daze, looking at a field in front of him and stopped moving.

Miss Cheng followed his gaze, and exclaimed in surprise, and stood still.

Ye Feng turned his head to take a closer look, and was also taken aback.

He saw that in the vegetable field behind the ruins of Uncle Zhou's Aunt Zhou's house not far away, under the bright moonlight at this moment, there was a faint fluorescence in the dark land.

Faint blue fluorescence!
