Mo Qi lowered his eyelids, avoiding the possibility of meeting Gong Jiu's gaze.

With his level of disguise, even the jailer who knew this young Chengbing did not notice anything unusual, and Gong Jiu should not be able to see any clues either.

Gong Jiu followed behind Wu Yangyang a large group of people.But in the end, the only ones who followed Gong Jiu into the morgue were Chu Liuxiang, Hu Tiehua, Lieutenant General Li who was temporarily arrested by Gong Jiu, and the short man who Mo Qi saw at the gate of the house yesterday, talking to Gong Jiu.

Gong Jiu didn't seem to have a good impression of this short man, his face was always covered with frost, and his expression became a little colder: "Why, your master is so worried about me, why did you specially send you here to watch? "

"My son, what you said is a slave." Lin Qi's voice was special, and he could tell that the young man was a eunuch. He said respectfully, "Why did the master send Lin Qi to watch you? Don't think about it. Lin Qi was just sent to help the son of the world, to beat him—"

Gong Jiu frowned impatiently, and interrupted Lin Qi's nonsense: "If you can't make up a reason, then shut up. Stand far away and don't get in the way."

Lin Qi didn't change his face, and immediately said: "Lin Qi understands."

After finishing speaking, Lin Qi retreated to the outermost edge of the crowd and kicked his stick, quietly acting as a wooden stake, and really stopped talking.

According to Prince Taiping's personality, it would be good if he could agree to help the Holy Majesty, but he should shut up obediently, and it would be better not to come to him in front of him.

Chu Liuxiang and Hu Tiehua looked at each other and understood.

Come to think of it, this Mr. Lin Qi is the eyes and ears sent by the one in Bianjing City.

The case of Yumenguan involved border stability, and several members of the imperial court died. It is only natural that the person in Bianjing would pay special attention.

"The people here are ordinary people who have lived in this Yumen pass all their lives. They probably never thought that these local people who were born and bred in the pass might have been killed by people from the rivers and lakes. They just experienced it as ordinary corpses. I couldn't find anything wrong with it. It's normal." Chu Liuxiang carefully inspected the wounds on the four horseback corpses.

Gong Jiu said indifferently: "In his position, seek his job. Since he has assumed this responsibility, but he is not good at his job, no amount of excuses can excuse him."

Hu Tiehua grinned, and said frankly: "Your request is too high. Not everyone is like you, Mr. Jiu, who is born with extraordinary talents and can learn everything to perfection."

What he said was quite pleasing to the ear, so Gong Jiu didn't care about Hu Tiehua.

Chu Liuxiang suddenly said, "Look."

Gong Jiu and Hu Tiehua walked to the bed.

Hu Tiehua: "What are you looking at?"

"Except for those positions that are not fatal, those can be cover." Chu Liuxiang said, "Come and see the pecks and bite marks left on the vital parts of these dead."

Chu Liuxiang analyzed the condition of the four corpses one by one: "General Ma's corpse was delivered twelve days ago. The damage was the most serious. Don't talk about sword wounds. Even the limbs were not intact. It can be said that the first half Nothing remained of the dead body except for the bones, all eaten up by birds and insects."

Chu Liuxiang led everyone to the second corpse: "This is the jade merchant Qian Shizhen's corpse, and it is also the second corpse. It was sent nine days ago. You see, the damage to his corpse is much less serious. It ate near the chest cavity."

The crowd followed Chu Liuxiang to the third corpse: "The third one, the corpse of Master Wen, was delivered six days ago. The pecking marks are even shallower. Look carefully, only the neck was pecked." The nearby flesh and other places are all skin wounds."

Chu Liuxiang walked up to the last corpse: "But here, the fourth corpse, that is, the corpse of Deputy General Wu, the pecking marks suddenly became deeper, and the area is huge, the most important thing is this part." He pointed to Mr. Wu's chest, and gestured a movement to penetrate the chest, "The chest cavity was suddenly opened, and it was completely eaten from the front to the back."

Mo Qi followed Chu Liuxiang's instructions calmly.

Hu Tiehua impatiently listened to Chu Liuxiang's trickery: "What's the meaning of this? What did you find?"

Gong Jiu: "Those with deep pecking marks are those who have some self-preservation ability. The shallow ones are those who have no strength to restrain chickens."

"That's right." Chu Liuxiang nodded, "Although the pecking marks were deliberately covered up and designed, if these people were really killed by swords...under this assumption, it is not difficult to see that these How did the body die?"

Hu Tiehua was stunned: "General Ma's body is missing most of the front, and it must have been injured in front of him. Qian Shizhen's chest was pecked, and that was a sword piercing his heart. Master Wen's neck was the most severely damaged, so it should be injured by a The sword seals the throat. As for Mr. Wu, it should be because he is more difficult to deal with than Qian Shizhen. The killer used too much force, and a sword pierced his chest, so a big hole was pecked in his chest by birds and insects. "

Chu Liuxiang nodded: "Judging from the sword marks left on Lieutenant General Wu's body, this hypothesis is most likely to be true."

Standing beside Master Wu's bed, Chu Liuxiang said slowly, "The sword is the weapon of murder. The pecking and biting marks left by birds and insects are all suspicions of the killer."

Hu Tiehua pondered: "It's just that knowing how they died is not the end. The most important thing is why they died and who killed them."

Chu Liuxiang took off his gloves and touched his nose helplessly: "This is not something we can figure out when we squat in the morgue and think hard about these corpses." He turned his head and asked the silent Gong Jiu, "I don't know what happened in the pass. Did the person in charge of the case go to the homes of the deceased to inquire?"

Gong Jiu glanced at Lieutenant General Li who had been standing aside for a long time.

Lieutenant General Li hurriedly said: "Yes, but..." He hesitated for a while, "But later, there were no more."

Hu Tiehua raised her eyebrows to the sky: "What do you mean? What is there, and then it disappeared?"

Lieutenant General Li frowned: "In the beginning, the person who went to the deceased's house to inquire was Mr. Wen. After Mr. Wen died, the case was transferred to Mr. Wu... The situation in Yumen Pass is special. There is no yamen, let alone a magistrate. Some At that time, these cases were interoperable with each other, and whoever had spare time would take it on."

What now?These two people who had questioned and probably knew something about the situation were lying in the morgue.

Hu Tiehua clicked his tongue: "This is too... Could it be that the two adults, Wen and Wu, were silenced because they knew the truth?"

Gong Jiu said indifferently: "Impossible. If that's the case, why didn't the murderers just wipe out the family members of the deceased? How could they survive to this day? There must be other connections between these few people."

Gong Jiu looked coldly at the four tragically described corpses on the bed, with sarcasm in his eyes: "It's nothing more than money, power, and beauties. The whole life of a person is nothing more than these."

Chu Liuxiang smiled slightly: "What about you, Ninth Young Master?"

Gong Jiu glanced at Chu Liuxiang: "Me?"

Gong Jiu lowered his eyes slightly: "Of course I also have something I want."

Hu Tiehua interrupted suddenly: "But Daoist Mo?"

Gong Jiu: "...?"

Mo Qi, who was caught off guard:? ?

Hu Tiehua laughed: "Just kidding."

Gong Jiu looked at Hu Tiehua suspiciously: ... I think you are a bit weird!

However, Hu Tiehua has already started another topic: "Since this is the case, shouldn't we go to the homes of these deceased and visit their families?"

"It should be so." Gong Jiu nodded subconsciously, and was a little confused by Hu Tiehua's sudden leap of thought. Suddenly, a question that had been buried in his heart for many days jumped out again in this chaos. Come out, "That's right. Lieutenant General Li, do you know who is the person who donated to Yumen Pass in the past six months? I think this person should have a major connection with this case."

Mo Qi stood aside pretending to be dumb: "...!"

Chu Liuxiang stretched out her hand: "Uh—this——"

He failed to interrupt, and Lieutenant General Li had already said respectfully to Prince Taiping: "Since you have taken over this case, I don't dare to hide it. That person is Mo Daoxian... It is rumored in the world That, the second person on the list of divine soldiers?"

Lieutenant General Li is not sure if he remembers it correctly, after all, he is not from the Jianghu.Anyway, it's either the first or the second, up and down, can't get out of this range.

Gong Jiu was about to walk out of the door stagnating: "..."

Chu Liuxiang withdrew her hand: "..."

The atmosphere suddenly became inexplicably awkward.

Gong Jiu stopped at the same spot, and said softly: "...So, the one who took the blame is Mo Qi?"

Hu Tiehua: "That's right...well, so Young Master Jiu, next time, don't call him a fool in front of Daoist Mo again."

Gong Jiu has not recovered yet, and is still muttering: "Is he being taken advantage of?"

Mo Qi: "..."

Mo Qi doubts whether Gong Jiu has recognized his disguise, and this is intentional to provoke him.

The author has something to say: Gong Jiu: Take advantage of me.

Long Yao: Well, it’s quite big, don’t worry.

Gong Jiu:? ? ? ?
