Chapter 905 There Is Something Wrong with This Corpse

The companion's analysis was very clear, and Xingyi was finally convinced.

He ordered half of the men to stay and continue searching, while the other half went with him to the abandoned old house yesterday.

The corpse has always been in the abandoned old house.

But when Xingyi and his party arrived, the body that was still intact yesterday was more than half rotten today.

Everyone was surprised.

After a moment of silence, someone asked in confusion: "Did our people do it?"

In the cold weather of early spring, who could turn a perfectly good corpse into such a rotten state in an instant, except for their clansmen?

Of course, there are people outside the world, and there is heaven outside the world. I heard that among the Ji family members of Lingzhou in the west, there are also pharmaceutical experts who are proficient in the art of witchcraft and poison.

But Xingyi and the others have been guarding Kyoto and have never seen any strange traces of the Ji family, so this possibility has been ruled out for the time being.

"If not, check it out?" someone suggested.

If it was really done by one of their own, then this matter might not be that simple.

The dead soldiers under King Quan were divided into several divisions. Xingyi was a person who risked his life and eliminated dissidents.

There are also some teams that are engaged in other operations.

For example, You Qingqing, who sneaked into Liu Yi's side before, this kind of "beauty trap" is under the control of Yousisi who guards Liaozhou.

Among the people left behind in Kyoto now, Xingyi first eliminated the subordinates who had been with him for many years, and the rest were all subjects that needed to be investigated.

Of course, he didn't intend to ignore You Qingqing's side.

He and Youjia, the sisters, have never disliked each other.

At a critical moment, one can think of working for the same master and helping a group, but on weekdays, they can't get along with each other.

Only Lie Yi, the fool, would be fooled by the You family sisters. Therefore, until now, Lie Yi was still kept in Liaozhou by his master, called on standby, but actually under house arrest.

Thinking of You Qingqing who was still in Liu Mansion, Xingyi clicked his tongue and decided to send someone back to ask. He himself did not want to have any contact with You Qingqing.

Having made up his mind, Xingyi ordered people to do things without delay, and he himself planned to go back to Yipinlou to have a look.

But just as he was about to leave, his companion who had been following him suddenly shouted: "Wait a minute."

Xingyi turned around and saw that his companion had crouched down, carefully grabbed the half-rotten hand of the corpse, stared at an obviously mutilated scar on the back of the corpse's hand, and said: "We have been following this man for ten days. I believe that for him All the external features are clear, but I don’t remember that he has such a big scar on his hand, and looking at the scar, it’s obviously an old wound.”

Xingyi's eyelids moved and he knelt down, first staring at the scar for a while, and then looking at the face of the corpse.

Looking at it, he found that the other half of the corpse's face, which was still intact, was no different from what he had seen in the past ten days.

Xingyi reached out and touched it. The corpse was very cold, but there was indeed nothing covering its face.

This is the real face of the corpse. There is no human skin mask, and it is not an impersonation.

But the scar on his hand is indeed suspicious and glaring.

How is this going?

When his companion saw that Xingyi was also silent, he put down his hand and said seriously: "We need a man."

There is something wrong with this corpse.

And if there is something wrong with the body, then the whereabouts of the baggage will have to be re-evaluated.

The body decomposed very quickly. Xingyi and his companions all knew that it was too late, but they had special status, and this body had never been registered in the Yamen. They did not dare to look for ordinary criminals. He was afraid that if no evidence could be found, his whereabouts would be revealed instead.

So, where can I find a trustworthy and capable person who doesn't have to worry about leaking his whereabouts and causing trouble for his master?

Suddenly, a slightly slender figure flashed in Xingyi's mind.

Xingyi raised his head and looked at his companion.

But he saw that his companion was also looking at him.

Then the companion patted Xingyi on the shoulder with the hand that had just touched the body, and said with an entrusted look: "This matter cannot be delayed without delay, let's go."

Xingyi: "..."

…

Liu Wei stayed in the Seventh Prince's Mansion for a while. Seeing that the rain had lightened up, he stood up and left.

Rong Su remembered that Liu Wei didn't have a fur cloak when he came, so he sent someone to get one for Liu Wei.

Liu Wei thanked her but didn't put it on.

Li Jun had long disliked Liu Wei. Now he was eager for Liu Wei to leave. He even warned her reluctantly: "Yin'er's matter has nothing to do with you. You don't need to be pretentious. No matter you No matter what you do, the Li family will not accept you."

Liu Wei heard this and wanted to say, Brother, you think too much.

But considering that Li Jun was considered pitiful now, he kindly kept silent.

When leaving the Seventh Prince's Mansion, Rong Su got up and went out to see him off in person. Liu Wei glanced at Rong Su and said, "Don't bother the Seventh Prince to move around, my servants will lead the way."

Rong Su said, "Nothing."

Then, he insisted on sending Liu Wei to the gate of the palace.

Before getting on the carriage, Liu Wei thought for a while, then turned around and said, "If you can find out, please ask the Seventh Prince to bother."

Rong Su was stunned for a moment, looked at Liu Wei carefully for a while, and then said: "I will do it."

Liu Wei felt relieved, thanked him, and then handed him the fur.

Rong Su frowned, his face became serious, and he didn't answer.

Liu Wei handed it to the concierge beside Rong Su.

The concierge didn't know what the master meant, but he recognized that this fur cloak belonged to his prince, and the silver auspicious patterns on it were embroidered by the concubine herself.

The concierge hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his hand to take it honestly. However, the next moment, he felt a sudden chill on the back of his neck.

The concierge shrank his neck, and when he looked back, he saw nothing.

Liu Wei got on the carriage and before the coachman drove off, he ordered: "Go to Zhenge Gate."

The rain outside is still pouring down, and the early spring rain is cool and damp, making it difficult to resist.

Mingxiang regretted that she was in such a hurry when she came out that she didn't bring her fur cloak. Now she was worried that the young master would be frozen. His body looked weak. His prince usually went out of his way to give the young master a big tonic soup, so don't waste it in vain. .

At this time, Mingxiang happened to see a satin shop passing by outside the window. She was about to call the carriage to stop, but the carriage suddenly stopped.

Then, the horrified voice of the coachman came from outside: "Who...are you...what are you going to do..."

Mingxiang was startled. She was about to lift the car curtain to take a look, but she saw the car curtain was lifted from the outside. Immediately, three masked men broke in and rushed towards her young master.

"What are you doing!" Mingxiang rushed forward to stop him.

But before she could get closer, the other party blocked her away like a chicken.

Ming Xiang was annoyed, and was about to shout to attract the attention of the surrounding shops, but she saw the three masked men all raised their hands and bowed deeply to her young master. The first one among them said in a somewhat aggrieved voice: "We encountered a difficult situation, and we really had no choice but to take the liberty of asking Master Liu for help."

Mingxiang: "..."

Liu Wei: "..."
