Help! I just woke up and was stabbed by a big kid

Gu Yue found some traces that looked like blood on the wall, but before he could confirm what they were, he was driven out by the stench of the toilet.

He backed away again and again until he was out of the toilet door, then he took a deep breath of fresh air and came to his senses.

Gu Xu supported him with one hand: "Don't force it."

Gu Yue nodded: "I won't force it. I thought of another way."

The toilet in the general's mansion shouldn't smell so bad, but Mu You has been back in Luoyang for a while, and few people clean it, so the natural environment is poor.

Gu Yue asked Wu Qi: "Where is Yin Bai's body?"

"It's in the ice cellar." Wu Qi said, "It was Wu Fei's instruction. He said that maybe we can find some traces on the body."

Wu Feng?

"What about others?"

"He was called to work in the Ganzhou camp and has not returned yet." Wu Qi said, "He is from Fengtang, and the affairs of the general's mansion have been assigned to Shantang."

Gu Yue nodded: "Is there a coroner here? If not, go to the Ganzhou government office and ask if we can borrow one."

He only has theoretical knowledge, but as for the actual autopsy... forget it.

Wu Qi agreed and asked someone to find a coroner.

Gu Yue did not just sit there and wait for the coroner to come. He walked around the toilet.

"Does Yin Bai live alone in this yard?" Gu Yue asked.

"Yes." Wu Qi said, and he introduced the layout of the surrounding area: "The courtyard next door is where the maids live. There are people guarding these two rooms all the time."

"Where is that butler Mu Daguan?" Gu Yue vaguely remembered that he was near this area.

"In the yard at the back." Wuqi pointed.

The roads were connected, and a map naturally appeared in Gu Yue's mind.

He walked to the courtyard where the maids lived. Because someone had died in the general's mansion, they didn't dare to come out and stayed in the house.

Gu Yue looked around and found that the toilet was in the corner near Yin Bai's yard. When he walked in, it was obviously much cleaner, but there was still a foul smell.

An idea suddenly occurred to him, and he walked quickly towards the garden, entered through the low door in the partition wall, and arrived in front of the yard where Mu Dayou was.

There were two guards in front of the courtyard gate. When they saw Gu Yue, they looked puzzled, and then saluted Gu Xu behind them.

Gu Xu waved his hand.

Gu Yue entered the yard, which was quiet.

The toilet in this yard was indeed in the same location.

"Are the toilets in these courtyards all in this corner?" he asked Wuqi.

Wu Qi said, "I'm not sure, but looking at it this way, it seems to be the case. There is a pit underneath. According to this pattern, the opening for removing excrement should be in the garden."

Gu Xu asked: "Do you suspect that Yin Bai was killed?"

Gu Yue quickly raised his finger and made a hushing gesture.

He answered loudly: "How is it possible! There are guards at the door, how did the killer get into the toilet? He couldn't have crawled in through the toilet hole."

Wu Qi laughed secretly.

Gu Xu glanced at him, then looked at the window of the house in the courtyard and smiled: "Indeed, I think so too."

"Then let's go. This is just an accident." Gu Yue said, "There's nothing to investigate."

He started to leave, but then turned back: "Is that the toilet over there? I'll come right after I relieve myself."

Gu Xu followed him closely and walked to the toilet door.

"What are you doing?" Gu Yue mouthed: "I'm going to the bathroom!"

"Do you really need to go to the toilet?" Gu Xu glanced down.

Gu Yue blushed in embarrassment.

He ignored Gu Xu and walked into the toilet.

The layout was the same, but there was a lot of sand on the stone floor. It was not as dirty, but it still smelled.

Gu Yue raised his head and looked.

The walls of buildings in Ganzhou are all very tall, but the three connected toilets, perhaps because of the later renovation or something else, have very low walls separating them. There is also a jujube tree with a large crown on top, which covers the top of the wall tightly.

Gu Yue understood.

"Let's go." Gu Yue pulled Gu Xu and said, "Don't step on the poop. Get out now."

"No way?" Gu Xu only smelled a foul odor.

"Don't ask." Gu Yue pushed him out the door.

This kid! He doesn't even mind the stink, he still needs someone to push him to walk!

When I walked out of the toilet, I saw Wuqi winking at the door.

Gu Yue pulled Gu Xu out of the yard.

Only when they were some distance away from the yard did Wu Qi say, "The coroner is here."

"So soon? Very good, take people to the ice cellar for autopsy." Gu Yue said, "Oh, by the way, ask someone to do something."

He leaned over to whisper in Wuqi's ear.

Wu Qi nodded repeatedly: "Okay."

Gu Yue's guess has basically taken shape, except for the last piece of evidence.

……

Going down to the cellar of the general's mansion, Gu Yue felt a chill.

Wu Qi introduced: "According to the maids, this cellar was used to store ice in the general's mansion. Mu You has been away for a year, and although no new ice has been added, the remaining ice is enough to maintain this temperature."

When he reached the door of the inner room, Gu Yue stopped.

There was a long table in the middle, with Yin Bai's body lying on it, covered from head to toe with a white cloth. The ice cellar was filled with a stench of corpses mixed with the smell of feces. It was already dark here, and under the illumination of the only candle, it looked particularly scary.

Gu Yue took two steps back: "It's too dark here, I think we should move the body upstairs..."

Wu Qi asked: "Boss Gu, are you afraid of ghosts?"

"I'm not afraid of ghosts!" Gu Yue said, "But it's really too dark here."

Gu Xu reached out and put his hand on the back of his neck and smoothed it.

The coroner who followed behind said with a smile: "Ordinary people would inevitably be frightened when seeing a corpse, so let's just follow what this gentleman said."

Gu Yue nodded repeatedly.

The coroner of Ganzhou Yamen was actually a woman! And she was so considerate. Gu Yue was so touched.

……

After moving Yin Bai's body to the room upstairs, the light was indeed much better, and Gu Yue's fear was much lessened.

He said, "Please have a look first, sir."

He has no experience and is giving orders to others recklessly, which might have the opposite effect.

The coroner nodded. She opened the tool box she brought with her, put some tools aside, put on a face towel, wiped her hands, and slowly pulled away the white cloth covering Yin Bai's body. Her assistant helped her, spread out a pen and paper, ready to record the details.

Wu Qi told her what had happened.

Gu Yue had originally been looking at the autopsy with a curious attitude, but when the knife cut into his scalp, making a sizzling sound, Gu Yue still felt a chill all over his body and an indescribable fear.

Ugh! Horrible!

Gu Xu pulled him behind him, blocking his view.

"Are you afraid but still trying to be brave?" he asked with a smile.

Gu Yue didn't force himself to say that he was no longer afraid. He lowered his head, and the only thing in front of him was the pattern on Gu Xu's shoulder.

"It's more terrible than I imagined." And it smells terrible!

After waiting for a while, the coroner came to a conclusion.

"I can only say that the cause of death was a blow to the head," the coroner said. "There was no sign of poisoning."
