Kong Xiaoxiao arrived in front of the wild flower, squatted down and took a closer look, only to find that the flower was as white as jade, without branches or leaves, no roots and no smell.

Kong Xiaoxiao's expression became serious, and she exclaimed: "It's actually the flower of the underworld."

This flower either grew from energy extracted from a pile of rotting fallen leaves, or there was a corpse buried beneath the ground.

But it was obviously not the first type of leaf pile, because there was no leaf pile on the surface of the land, it was bare. So it could only be the second type, there was a corpse underneath.

But it is impossible for a normal family to bury the bodies in this desolate mountain.

Then there is something wrong with this corpse.

The corners of Kong Xiaoxiao's mouth twitched, and she secretly groaned in her heart. She shouldn't have gone out today. What she feared came true. Something happened again.

He immediately took out a knife from the storage bag and started prying the ground.

She is definitely doing a job of digging up a corpse.

An hour later, when Kong Xiaoxiao was sweating profusely, he finally saw the corpse.

The face of the corpse could no longer be seen clearly, and Kong Xiaoxiao was unable to read its features.

But Kong Xiaoxiao knew he was a student of Moshan Academy by looking at his clothes.

Holding the knife in one hand, he shouted to Xiao Huang who was having fun not far away: "Xiao Huang, come here, you stay here and guard the body, I'll be back soon."

Xiao Huang ran back obediently and squatted beside the body. Kong Xiaoxiao sighed resignedly, picked up two bamboo shoots, and flew back to the academy on his sword.

"My dear, you even brought back two bamboo shoots?"

He Junlin and Shangguan Hao were playing chess under the eaves. As soon as Kong Xiaoxiao came back, He Junlin saw it at a glance. He stood up and asked in surprise.

Kong Xiaoxiao ignored He Junlin and turned to Shangguan Hao with an extremely serious expression: "Brother Shangguan, has any student in your academy gone missing in the past month?"

Shangguan Hao was shocked to see Kong Xiaoxiao's serious expression and asked hurriedly, "Xiaoxiao, what do you mean?"

"Oh, I see, my little benefactor, are you here again?"

He Junlin looked as if he understood everything, which made Shangguan Hao a little dazed.

Seeing that Shangguan Hao didn't understand, He Junlin explained to Shangguan Hao: "My benefactor must have found a body when he went out this time, otherwise he wouldn't ask you if there are any missing students. It seems that you have things to do again, Brother Shangguan."

He Junlin has been following Kong Xiaoxiao for so long that he has long been accustomed to it.

At first, he was often stunned, but now, he is left with nothing but helplessness.

It's really hard to find peace wherever you go.

Shangguan Hao looked at Kong Xiaoxiao with suspicion, and Kong Xiaoxiao had no choice but to nod at him.

"In the back hill, I found a body wearing your academy's clothes."

"what?"

Lian Wanqing's shocked voice came from the house.

Immediately afterwards, she walked out holding Momo, her face as cold as a frosty.

"But there are no missing students in our college."

Shangguan Hao's face showed an unprecedented solemnity.

He didn't believe that this would happen at Moshan College, otherwise he, as the dean, would not have been unaware of it.

He was sure that there were no missing students in the academy.

"Are you sure? I, your benefactor, never make mistakes. Brother Shangguan, we should go and take a look."

When it comes to this kind of thing, He Junlin naturally trusts Kong Xiaoxiao 120% of the time.

"Husband, go and take a look. This matter cannot be left so unclear."

Lian Wanqing's contact with Kong Xiaoxiao for most of the day made her deeply feel that with Xiaoxiao's intelligence, she should not have made any mistakes.

Afterwards, she asked Tadpole to stay at home with Momo, and repeatedly told him to take good care of himself, while the few of them hurried up the mountain without stopping.

Kong Xiaoxiao led everyone to the corpse. Xiao Huang jumped onto Kong Xiaoxiao's shoulder very swiftly, and then began to ask for credit from his master: "Master, look how obedient I am! I have been guarding here obediently. Can you give me an extra meal today and reward me with a roast chicken?"

Shangguan Hao and Lian Wanqing were both startled when they suddenly heard Xiao Huang's voice.

"Xiaoxiao, is this a weasel that has become a spirit? How come it can speak?" Lian Wanqing asked in astonishment.

From the appearance of Xiao Huang, they knew it was a weasel. However, it was their first time to see a weasel that could speak, which really surprised them.

"Well, this is my pet. Well, let's take a look at the corpse first." Kong Xiaoxiao did not intend to discuss this topic further with them.

There is a dead body lying here.

Shangguan Hao squatted down with a suspicious look on his face, picked up his handkerchief and wiped the face of the corpse, saying as he wiped: "Judging from the clothes, he is indeed from the academy."

Lian Wanqing suddenly noticed a scent bag hanging from the corpse's waist. She walked forward in surprise, pointed at the scent bag and said, "Husband, look, a scent bag."

Then he said:

"This sachet was given to my student Xu Changgong by me some time ago. How did it appear here?" Lian Wanqing stared at the face of the sachet, very confused.

Xu Changgong was a student from a poor family. One day, she saw many mosquito bites on Xu Changgong's face. Knowing that his family was poor and he had no other mosquito repellent sachets, she gave him a mosquito repellent sachet.

Shangguan Hao, who was wiping the corpse, suddenly stopped and said with a serious expression: "Madam, this corpse is indeed Xu Changgong."

"What? How is this possible?" Lian Wanqing shook her head in disbelief, and added: "I saw Xu Changgong early this morning. He is studying in the academy now."

Lian Wanqing squatted down and carefully looked at the corpse in front of her, muttering to herself, "Why does this man look so similar to Xu Changgong? They are like they were carved from the same mold!"

Although the deceased's face was destroyed, after wiping off the dirt on his face, his features could still be roughly identified. The couple fell into silence for a while.

At this time, Kong Xiaoxiao broke the silence and said softly: "They are twin brothers."

"That's impossible!" Shangguan Hao denied Kong Xiaoxiao's guess without even thinking about it, and then said, "Xu Changgong has only one son in his family, and no other brothers. Our school has detailed and accurate records of the family situation of each student. There is absolutely no mistake on this point."

After all, as the administrator of the academy, Shangguan Hao was naturally well aware of the information of these students. Especially students with outstanding talents like Xu Changgong were the focus of attention. So he was very sure that Xu Changgong was indeed the only son in the family.

Seeing Shangguan Hao so sure and Lian Wanqing who was also puzzled, Kong Xiaoxiao decided to verify it herself. So she squatted down and tried to find some clues or clues from the face of the deceased. Although the face of the deceased was damaged to a certain extent, the overall outline was still vaguely recognizable. Since Shangguan Hao could recognize that the body was Xu Changgong at a glance, she must be able to see something from it.

He Junlin said to Shangguan Hao and Lian Wanqing: "Brother Shangguan, sister-in-law, let the benefactor take a look first. Don't worry about the benefactor's ability."

The three of them just stared at Kong Xiaoxiao who was squatting in silence.
