Chapter 38 Who Lives and Who Dies?

Looking at Yue Lingxiao's slightly frightened head in front of him, Chen Yutian and everyone felt a burst of stunned in their hearts at the same time,

The human head in front of them belonged to the murderer they had locked up for a long time, and it was also the head that all of them firmly believed in their hearts that it would never be cut off.

But now it has appeared in front of everyone in such a form.

Everyone was a little hard at hand with what was happening in front of them!

But even so, it's still true!

The murderer Yue Lingxiao, who was wanted by the government, was already dead, and his head was sent to the hands of Jiulong Mansion by someone for some ulterior purpose.

"Alas...... Unexpectedly, we haven't found Wu Chengtian's head yet, but his head appeared in front of us first. After a long time, Huo Yuanji sighed.

"That's right. Someone in the crowd nodded slightly, Chen Yutian glanced up and saw that it was Huo Yuanji.

I saw the latter smile slightly bitterly and asked, "It's just that now that even the murderer is dead in this case, how can we investigate this case?"

Hearing this, everyone present was silent for a while.

Everyone's eyes involuntarily looked at Chen Yutian.

Chen Yutian touched his chin and groaned for a moment, then looked at Tianying, "The case naturally has to continue, but I need to think carefully about the beginning and end of this case, and the situation here also needs to be told to Uncle Xing and Brother Ling as soon as possible, and this matter will be handled by you." ”

Skyshadow nodded, "Just leave it to me." ”

Chen Yutian nodded slightly, and then waved his hand slightly at everyone, signaling that everyone could disperse.

So everyone left the hall one after another, only Gongsun and Xuan Xi remained inside, looking at Chen Yutian.

Chen Yutian looked at the two of them and smiled, "You can also go and rest first, I'll wait here for Feng Ling to see if she catches that person over there." ”

"Then I'll wait with you!" Xuan Xi stood beside him very resolutely and said.

Gongsun nodded slightly and took Yue Lingxiao's head away.

Looking at his departing back, Chen Yutian's gaze became solemn.

What's going on here?

He turned around and returned to the main hall, opened all the files of the headless case that he had just ordered to be prepared, and began to think about the whole case from the beginning.

Seeing this, Xuan Xi also picked up a roll and checked it from scratch with him.

The very beginning of the whole case was the death of the first deceased, Wu Chengtian, and it was from his death that the headless corpses appeared one after another, and all of them were the nine snake heads of the Nine Snake Society in the past.

The reason why the real culprit of Yue Lingxiaowei's entire case was locked was because the last person Wu Chengtian saw before he died was him.

Moreover, according to the servants of the martial manor, they also heard the sound of Wu Chengtian and Yue Lingxiao arguing in the room, and after that, Yue Lingxiao walked out even more angrily.

Based on the presumed time of death, the Gyeonggi government decided that it was at this time that he killed Wu Chengtian, and then pretended to quarrel with him and fled the scene.

Therefore, his murder suspicion is undoubtedly the greatest!

This may sound reasonable, and there is nothing wrong with that.

But these ...... After all, it's all just inference.

And the inference ...... It can't be true!

Even the most reasonable inferences based on what happened at the time cannot be true as long as they are still inferreds.

And no matter how accurate the inference is, it is deviant from the facts!

Thinking of this, Chen Yutian frowned slightly.

If there is a deviation between this inference and the facts, where does this deviation occur?

At this moment, Tang Fengling, who had gone to pursue the mysterious visitor, came back dejectedly.

Seeing her face like this, Chen Yutian naturally understood everything.

"Didn't you catch up?" Xuan Xi glanced at Tang Fengling in a slightly surprised manner.

After all, when it comes to light skills, the most powerful one in the Nine Dragons Mansion is Tang Fengling, her empty shadow internal force can not only increase light skills, but also has void attributes, and can carry out short-term void shuttles. Especially when her strength has grown to the peak level of Gang Qi Separation from the Body, in the whole world, it is impossible for people who can evade her trackers, except for more powerful saints, even people at the Gang Qi Perfection level cannot do it.

Therefore, when Xuan Xi learned the result, he was even more surprised!

"He is cunning and very smart, maybe in order to be able to get out smoothly in front of the Ice King's predecessors, he didn't directly use light power to escape, but directly used escape weapons such as the void button to directly shuttle through the void and leave. Tang Fengling said helplessly.

Xuan Xi nodded slightly, "I see." It's no wonder. ”

"Hmph! If he didn't have a magic weapon, I would have arrested him a long time ago. Tang Fengling said indignantly, then looked at Chen Yutian and asked.

"By the way, what did that guy send you? I was in a bit of a hurry just now, and I didn't see clearly. ”

Hearing this, Chen Yutian took his eyes off the book slightly, looked at her, and asked, "Are you sure you want to know?"

"Of course!" Tang Fengling nodded.

Chen Yutian didn't say it directly, but pointed outside, and said to her: "The thing has been taken away by Gongsun, if you want to see it, go there." ”

Hearing this, Tang Fengling's expression froze for a rare moment.

"Uh...... In that case, forget it...... What can be taken away by Gongsun is either a headless corpse or a cold human head, I've seen a lot of these things recently, so I'd better go and see something else first......"

After speaking, she smiled, winked slightly at Xuan Xi, and left.

Chen Yutian was amused by her appearance, but the smile had not completely bloomed on his face, and a spiritual light suddenly flashed in his mind!

"Wait...... What did she just say?"

Chen Yutian suddenly grabbed Xuan Xi's sleeve and asked!

Xuan Xi was slightly taken aback, and immediately replied: "She said that she won't go to Gongsun first, and she will go down to rest first." ”

"No, not that. Chen Yutian shook his head.

Xuan Xi was curious: "Which sentence is that?"

"What is that headless corpse and what?" Chen Yutian thought for a moment and said.

"Cold human head!"

"Yes, that's it...... Cold......"

Chen Yutian slapped his thigh suddenly, muttering in his mouth, the deep groan in his eyes became thicker and thicker, and after a while, a sudden color suddenly appeared.

"I see...... I see......"

Seeing this, Xuan Xi immediately asked curiously, "What, what, what do you understand?"

"I finally understood what was strange. "Tatsu Yu Heavenly Dao.

Xuan Xi was even more puzzled, "Strange, did you say before that you think something strange? Why don't I remember?"

Chen Yutian said with a smile: "The first time I received Yue Lingxiao's head, I felt a little strange, but then I saw Yue Lingxiao's face at first glance, and I was shocked, I actually ignored this, knowing Tang Fengling's words just now, I remembered this matter again." ”

Xuan Xi nodded and said, "Mm-hmm...... So, what's wrong with you?"

"Temperature!" Chen Yutian said with an extremely confident smile on his face.

"Temperature?"

"Yes, I didn't figure it out until just now, the moment I received Yue Lingxiao's head, its temperature was very strange. Chen Yutian nodded.

The puzzled look on Xuan Xi's face became more and more tired, and he asked, "What kind of strange method?"

"The human head was almost warm, cold. Chen Yutian replied.

As soon as these words came out, Xuan Xi's eyes suddenly changed, and then he glanced at Chen Yutian helplessly, and said, "Of course the head of the dead man is cold...... Can it still be as hot as a living person?"

Chen Yutian shook his head, "That's not what I meant...... Let me tell you this, although the corpse will become cold after death, there is a process, and it will not become cold all of a sudden, and even if the corpse becomes cold, it is not the same as the temperature I felt on Yue Lingxiao's head, the temperature of his human head is not as if it has just been cut off from the corpse, but like ...... It's been frozen for a long time, and it's just thawed. ”

"Oh, what do you mean......" Hearing this, Xuan Xi's eyes flashed slightly.

Chen Yutian shook his head slightly, "It's hard to say now, let's go, let's go to Gongsun and ask him to help verify it, if the result is the same as I expected, then the truth of this case ...... I'm afraid there's going to be a real reversal. ”

With that, he directly pulled Xuan Xi out of the main hall......

......

......

When he came to the autopsy room, Gongsun was unsurprisingly examining the human head.

Seeing the two coming, Gongsun immediately walked over from the side of the head and said with a smile: "My lord, Your Royal Highness the Princess, you have just arrived, I just happened to have some new discoveries here." ”

Hearing this, Chen Yutian also smiled.

"It's a coincidence, I just happened to find a new clue here, but I just don't know if we found the same clue. ”

Gongsun smiled slightly, "If there is such a coincidence, it can only mean that the tacit understanding between students and adults is very good." ”

Chen Yutian suddenly burst out laughing......

"Haha...... I didn't expect even Mr. Gongsun to joke...... But first, let's talk about what the gentleman found......"

Hearing this, Gongsun turned slightly and said, "My lord, the student found that this human head seems to have been artificially concocted. ”

"Oh?" Chen Yutian raised his eyebrows slightly, "But the traces of artificial freezing?"

Gongsun was slightly stunned for a moment, then looked at Chen Yutian and Xuan Xi, and smiled, "It seems that the adult's discovery is really the same as the student'...... I wonder what adults think about this?"

Hearing this, Chen Yutian immediately put away the smile on his face, and said, "This is exactly the reason why this official came here to find you, you need to help me do two things now." ”

"Oh, what's the matter?"

"First of all, let's see what the cause of death of Wu Chengtian's headless corpse is...... Second, find a way to extract a drop of blood from this head and the corpse......"

Chen Yutian said those two things.

When the first thing was out, Gongsun's face was still the same.

Although he didn't know why Tatsu Yutian had to re-examine the cause of death of the headless corpse, at least it was a very simple matter for him.

But when Chen Yutian's second thing came out, his complexion suddenly changed.

Not only him, but also Xuan Xi, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but change his face.

Because it's just too hard.

After all, after death, there is no life in the body, the blood clots, and it is almost impossible to extract blood from it!

Even if Gongsun had already done something similar once in the Wind and Snow Mountain Villa,

Gongsun touched his chin and groaned for a while, and then his expression changed suddenly: "Could it be that you say...... You doubt ......"

Chen Yutian smiled slightly and said, "Yes, that's what I thought, that's why I need you to do these two things." How?"

Gongsun pondered again, and then nodded: "It's not a big problem, but you may have to wait a little longer." ”

Chen Yutian smiled: "This is not a problem, we will wait in the pavilion outside, and when you have everything ready, you will come and inform us." ”

After that, he left directly with Xuan Xi.

Walking out of the autopsy room, Xuan Xi asked with a hint of tentativeness, "Are you suspicious...... The person who died wasn't Wu Chengtian?"

Chen Yutian was slightly taken aback, then looked at the girl with an unfamiliar look, and said with a smile: "You actually guessed?"

Xuan Xi was slightly speechless and said: "You have all said it so clearly, if I can't guess it, will I really become a fool soon?"

Chen Yutian thought to himself, didn't you be?

Xuan Xi glanced at him slightly, and his expression changed suddenly, "What kind of eyes are you?"

Chen Yutian was slightly stunned, and then hurriedly showed a smile, "It's nothing, it's nothing, let's go to the pavilion and wait for the results of Gongsun." ”

After speaking, he directly pulled her to the gazebo in the distance.

Seeing him so enthusiastic, Xuan Xi frowned slightly.

The two stayed in the pavilion for about half an hour, and Gongsun called them back to the autopsy room.

As soon as he entered the door, Gongsun told Chen Yutian that the cause of death of Wu Chengtian's headless corpse was indeed as recorded in the dossier, which was due to excessive blood loss from the head of a sword owl.

"So he did die of manslaughter?" Chen Yutian frowned.

He originally thought that Wu Chengtian also died under the heart-destroying sword qi, but because he didn't know martial arts at that time, he couldn't check it out, but now it seems that things are not like this.

But even so, it doesn't mean anything,

Everything still depends on the second thing he told Gongsun to do.

I saw Gongsun take out two vials from his arms, Chen Yutian opened them and looked at them, and found that there was a drop of blood in each of them, thinking that this should be the blood extracted from the skull and the corpse.

Then, Gongsun came in with a basin of water from outside.

Seeing these things, Xuan Xi suddenly understood what they were going to do.

I saw Gongsun and Chen Yutian glance at each other, and after the latter nodded slightly, the former directly opened the corks of the two small bottles and poured them down against the basin of clear water.

Two drops of blood suddenly fell into the clear water
