Chapter 16 lives up to its name

Leaving Xuanxi's room, Chen Yutian and Gongsun went straight out of the gate of the pavilion and headed in the direction of the outside of the city.

They were going to the scene where the nameless body was found.

On the way, Gongsun informed Chen Yutian of all the information about the death list.

After listening, Chen Yutian just nodded slightly, "Sir, your judgment is not wrong, this matter can be handed over to Tianhan and them...... As a matter of urgency, let's go see the corpse first......"

"Hmm. Gongsun nodded slightly, and his feet sped up.

It wasn't long before they came to the bottom of the cliff.

"This is it. Chen Yutian pointed to the clumps of grass and trees under his finger pressure, and in the grass and trees, the corpse from before was lying on the cold ground as always.

As soon as Gongsun saw the corpse, he frowned and walked over.

The deceased appeared to be in his fifties, and although there were many wounds on his body, most of them were skin injuries caused by rolling down the cliff, and there was only one real fatal wound, which was a blackened wound on his neck.

It was this wound that killed this man!

Gongsun frowned, opened the dead man's curled hands and looked at them, and there was a thoughtful glint in his eyes.

Immediately, he opened the deceased's already tattered clothes, but found no belongings.

He couldn't help but frown slightly.

Chen Yutian naturally saw what he meant, so he smiled, "Sir, are you looking for this person's belongings?

As he spoke, he took a few things out of his bosom.

Money bag, and a bronze token......

Gongsun looked at it and wondered, "Doesn't this person have an official guide on his body?"

Chen Yutian shook his head slightly, "No, presumably this person should be a local, and ......" as he spoke, he picked up the bronze token and faced Gongsun.

I saw that on the front of the token, there were four words written on it.

The world dart game.

Gongsun's eyes changed, and his expression groaned slightly, "This person is the dart master of the world's dart game?"

"Looking at this token, there should be nothing wrong, and it is also the lowest bronze dart master among them. Che Yutian nodded.

Gongsun nodded, and then said, "He, like Li Ren, died of the poison of the shadowless dispersion. ”

Chen Yutian nodded, "Sure enough?"

"Although the blood of the invisible poison seals the throat, it is not without symptoms. As he spoke, Gongsun opened the deceased's hands and pointed to the deceased's fingers, "You see, the tips of the deceased's ten fingers are black, which is a symptom that only appears twenty hours after he died of poisoning. ”

"Twenty hours?" Chen Yutian looked at the deceased's blackened fingertips, his expression condensed slightly, "What does Mr. mean...... This man has been dead for at least twenty hours?"

"Not bad!"

"According to this calculation, then the time of the deceased's death was also the night before yesterday?" Chen Yutian frowned.

"Exactly!" Gongsun nodded.

Chen Yutian's brows furrowed even more.

The night before yesterday, Li Ren was also killed at this time, so did they die on the same day?

"By the way, where did you find it?" said Gongsun, taking out the embroidered handkerchief that Lu Chen Yutian had given him from his cuff.

"There it is. Chen Yutian pointed to the branch on the cliff, "The deceased should have been killed on there and rolled down the cliff." ”

Gongsun nodded slightly, and then remembered Li Ren, who was still lying in the pavilion, and groaned slightly, "On the death list, there are currently five people who have been hooked, I don't know this person, but one of those five people?"

Hearing this, Chen Yutian smiled slightly.

"This question is very simple, let's go to Youzhou Prefecture to investigate. Since this person is a local, there should be a record in the state office. ”

Gongsun nodded slightly.

......

After lunch, the people of Kowloon Mansion did not have time to rest, so they scattered in all directions, looking for the only three living people on the death list.

After all, judging from the list, the three of them belong to the nirvana of Flower Butterfly. The sooner they find it, the less dangerous it will be.

However, the heavens don't seem to want them to find it sooner.

"What? haven't been back since I left in the morning?"

Tang Fengling was shocked and looked at the woman in front of her. This is the residence of one of the three survivors, Yang Fang.

And the woman in front of her was Yang Fang's wife.

According to his wife, after receiving an anonymous letter this morning, Yang Fang went out early and has not returned.

Hearing the news, Tang Fengling naturally had some bad premonitions in her heart. couldn't help but exchange glances with Wu Dongtian on the side.

Wu Dongtian understood and asked the woman, "Then do you know where your father-in-law has gone?"

Not only did Wu Gongtian and them encounter a similar situation, but on the other side, Xue Tianhan and Huo Yuanji, who were in charge of looking for the other two survivors, also encountered a similar situation.

"You mean, after receiving an anonymous letter today, your lord hurried out of the house, right?"

Huo Yuanji looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, this person was the housekeeper of Shen Wan, one of the survivors.

"Yes. The middle-aged man nodded.

"Did he leave alone?" On the side, Lin Feifei thought for a while and asked.

Huo Yuanji glanced at her.

This woman shouldn't have been here, but when he was allocating manpower just now, he found that there was just one missing to partner with him. He originally planned to go alone, but somehow this woman knew that the dead beggar had to come with him.

Of course, he didn't have a bad impression of this woman, but he was worried that others would criticize her.

But to his surprise, almost without thinking, everyone agreed to the woman's request to follow him to investigate.

However, there are also requirements.

This requirement is that Lin Feifei only needs to follow him to find someone, and he doesn't need to, and he can't ask himself any questions. so as not to divulge the facts of the case.

"yes, he's the only one. The butler nodded.

Hearing this, Huo Yuanji's face changed suddenly, "Oh no...... Can you tell me where your master is going?"

"Can you tell me where he went?"

In front of the other door, Xue Tianhan and Ling Miaoyin looked at the woman in front of them and spoke with a little eagerness.

The person they were looking for, like the previous two, had gone out alone after receiving an anonymous letter and had not returned.

......

Youzhou Prefecture, Chen Yutian and Gongsun stood on top of the public hall and waited quietly.

A corpse was placed in the center of the public hall in a very conspicuous manner.

Ling Yuntian arranged the official robes on his body as he walked, and when he came to the lobby with Fang Jing, he saw the corpse on the side at a glance, and the two figures standing quietly next to the corpse.

"Xiaguan Ling Yuntian, meet Lord Qincha!" Ling Yuntian bowed deeply to Chen Yutian.

Chen Yutian waved his hand slightly, and said with a smile: "Lord Ling, this official did not come in an official robe this time, so you don't have to be like this, just get up and speak." ”

"Yes! Ling Yuntian stood up slightly.

Chen Yutian pointed to the corpse next to him, "Lord Ling, this official came here this time to ask you to help check the identity of this deceased. ”

Hearing this, Ling Yuntian stepped forward and looked at the corpse, and when his gaze swept over the blackened wound on the deceased's neck, his expression suddenly changed!

Such an obvious change in expression was naturally discovered by Chen Yutian and the others.

"Why is Lord Ling panicking?"

When the words fell, Ling Yuntian did not answer immediately, but after calming down the surprise in his heart slightly, he asked, "Xia Guan dares to ask your lord a question, where did you find this person?

Chen Yutian exchanged glances with Gongsun and said with a smile: "That's true, the embroidered handkerchief is here." With that, he reached into his arms, took out the embroidered handkerchief, and handed it to Ling Yuntian.

Ling Yuntian took it and looked at it carefully, and when he saw the blood-colored butterfly pattern on the embroidered handkerchief, his expression was suddenly revealed.

"That's right!"

"What does Lord Ling mean by this?" asked Chen Yutian.

Ling Yuntian sighed, and then made a "please" action, "Two adults and follow the officials,"

With that, he took the two of them and Fang Jing out of the lobby and went straight to the autopsy.

After coming to the coroner's room, Chen Yutian found that in addition to Han Yanzuo who he saw in the morning, there was also a girl in the room at this moment.

The girl is about the same age as Lin Tao, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and she looks beautiful. It's just that I don't like to talk much, holding an ancient book that has been a little yellowed, and reading it with relish on the desk next to me.

Seeing Ling Yuntian hurriedly leading the two of them in, Han Qizuo hurriedly got up and asked, "Humble to meet your lordship, Lord Qincha...... I don't know why adults are in such a hurry?"

Ling Yuntian looked at Han Chengzuo and whispered a few words to him, and then saw Han Chengzuo nodding slightly and walking to the corpse room next door.

Ling Yuntian followed and said to the two of them again, "Two adults come with me. With that, he walked directly into the corpse room.

Chen Yutian and Gongsun glanced at each other and walked in.

The corpse room is an ice chamber made of ice cubes, which is extremely cold, which is suitable for preserving corpses, but not for living people to stay in.

Chen Yutian and the others have profound skills, but they are not afraid of this cold.

But for Ling Yuntian, who didn't know martial arts, the cold here was unbearable.

Han Yanzuo walked to a corner of the corpse room and untied the white cloth from three of the corpses.

And after seeing these corpses, Chen Yutian and Gongsun frowned at the same time.

The three corpses, all male, also had a blackened fatal wound on their necks, just like Li Ren and the bronze dart master.

This is also due to poisoning.

"These three corpses were found by an old man who got up early for a walk yesterday morning, and when the corpses were found, there were also blood-colored butterfly embroidered handkerchiefs scattered at the scene of the corpses. This is also the reason why the lower officials asked like that. Ling Yuntian pointed to the three corpses and explained.

Chen Yutian and Gongsun frowned.

The deaths of these three people are the same as Li Ren's.

Moreover, there are also blood-colored embroidered handkerchiefs left at the scene of their corpses, and it is certain that these three people, like the bronze dart master and Li Ren, all died at the hands of the flower butterfly.

"Lord Ling, I wonder when these three deceased people died?" asked Gongsun.

Han said: "According to speculation, they should have been killed at midnight the day before yesterday. ”

Hearing this answer, Chen Yutian's expression moved, "Is it midnight the day before yesterday?" These five people all died at this time...... Could it be that they ......"

Thinking of this, Chen Yutian asked Han Yanzuo, "Mr. Han, do you know the identities of these three people?"

"Of course. The bodies have been claimed by their respective relatives and are naturally clear. ”

"Then what are the names of these three people?" Gongsun asked hurriedly.

Han Yanzuo thought for a while, and then smiled: "I'm sorry, I forgot this a little below, but here are their corpses, and their names are on it." Let's go down and look for it. ”

Chen Yutian nodded slightly, "Sir, please." ”

Han Qizuo nodded and walked out immediately.

In the corpse room, only Chen Yutian and Ling Yuntian were left who were constantly fighting a cold war.

......

Xue Tianhan squinted his eyes slightly, looking at the wooden door in front of him.

The wooden door is very ordinary, there is no special thing, it is as ordinary as the house in front of you.

However, in the eyes of the cold snow, this place is extremely extraordinary.

Because this is the place where the living person came alone after receiving an anonymous letter.

Moreover, just now, he had smelled a faint smell of blood, wafting out from this wooden door.

"Is this the place?" Ling Miaoyin looked solemnly at the house in front of her.

Xue Tianhan nodded, "It seems you smell it too." ”

Ling Miaoyin was about to nod, but saw two groups of people suddenly coming on both sides, both groups of people were a man and a woman, it was Huo Yuanji, Lin Feifei, Wu Gongtian, and Tang Fengling, who were responsible for finding the other two survivors.

Seeing everyone here, all six of them were a little strange.

"Why are you here?"

"Of course I came to track Yang Fang's whereabouts!" Tang Fengling was the first to explain.

"We also came by the tracker Shen Wan, who said that after receiving an anonymous letter this morning, he left his house alone and came here. Huo Yuanji said.

"Hey, you guys are like this?" Tang Fengling said in surprise, "We also know from Yang Fang's wife that he came here alone after receiving the anonymous letter. What about you?"

As she spoke, she looked at Xue Tianhan and Ling Miaoyin.

Huo Yuanji also cast his gaze.

Xue Tianhan nodded slightly and said two words: "The same." ”

Hearing this, everyone was taken aback. Ling Miaoyin was taken aback, and looked at the wooden door in front of her, "Could it be that the places where these three people arrived after receiving the anonymous letter are all here? If that's the case, then it's bad!"

"What's wrong?"

"Well, because we just smelled a hint of blood coming from inside this house. Ling Miaoyin nodded.

Hearing this, everyone had already sniffed with a solemn expression, and sure enough, they found that there was a faint bloody gas in the air.

Everyone changed their expressions at the same time, and after exchanging glances with each other, Huo Yuanji took the lead in opening the wooden door.

Behind the wooden door is a small courtyard that looks extremely ordinary.

Opposite the small courtyard are three good upper rooms.

The six of them cautiously came to the door of the middle room, and suddenly felt that the bloody atmosphere in the air was even stronger.

"Not good!"

Wu Dongtian and Huo Yuanji's hearts sank at the same time, and they raised their hands and pushed the door open.

And when they saw the door and the scene in the room, the pupils of their eyes suddenly constricted involuntarily!

I saw that in the room, there were three corpses, lying in a pool of blood!

Seeing this scene, everyone's hearts instantly cooled.

"Tell Gongsun and tell the death list...... Now, it's true to its name......"
