The coroner and the concubine doctor pursue the murderer in the Dali Temple

Xiao Mubei’s idea was not wrong. The few of them sped up their eating and rushed to Lou San’s house after eating.

On the way, Chu Yunxi secretly asked Xiao Mubei, "Why did you help me cover up today?"

Xiao Mubei knew that she was talking about telling Chu Zhongxi that he asked the old coroner to take her, so he smiled faintly, "No reason, I just wanted to do it."

Chu Yunxi was a little depressed, "What do you know?"

"I don't know anything." Xiao Mubei shook his head honestly. He really didn't know anything. She didn't allow him to ask and only asked him to believe unconditionally.

It was weird that he actually believed this person who was full of doubts, and was thinking about how to help her cover up her doubts. It was incredible to think about it.

But not everything in this world needs to have a reason.

The Lou family lives on Qiurong Street, three streets away from the Dali Temple. At this moment, it has been blocked by people from the Dali Temple. Li Jinghong is investigating inside. Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi have revealed their identities and entered. Baiyu Heimu and Chu Zhongxi are waiting outside.

Li Jinghong had almost finished the investigation. When he saw Xiao Mubei and the others coming, he stepped forward and said, "My Lord, Princess, the footprints at the scene are too mixed up to make out anything. However, I found a few drops of blood in the middle of the bench where the coffin was placed, and I also found this in Luo's room."

He presented the evidence bag, which contained a small piece of residual incense.

Xiao Mubei opened it and smelled it, then closed it immediately and whispered, "Soul-bewitching incense."

"It seems that Luo didn't coax the child to sleep, but was knocked unconscious by the love potion. The murderer was indeed well prepared."

Xiao Mubei frowned, "But the murderer went to such great lengths to not hurt anyone, but only to steal a dead person's heart? Why did he want to steal Lou San's heart?"

Chu Yunxi also thought, "Maybe, he didn't just want to steal Lou San's heart."

"Hmm?" Xiao Mubei didn't quite understand.

Chu Yunxi explained: "What I mean is that maybe the murderer just wants the heart of a person who just died, and he is not limited to who it is."

"It makes sense."

"What can you do with a dead person's heart?" Chu Yunxi rubbed her temples. Even if they were selling organs, shouldn't they be selling living organs? Besides, could ancient medical skills reach the level of organ transplantation?

Unable to figure it out, Chu Yunxi and Xiao Mubei checked the scene again carefully, and indeed there was nothing new to discover.

Outside the Lou family, Chu Zhongxi and Baiyu Heimu were leaning against the doorstep waiting. Chu Zhongxi asked, "Baiyu, I remember that the prince was also seriously injured and his legs were still lame. I didn't expect that Doctor Lu's medical skills were really amazing. Now he can't see any signs of injury at all."

Bai Yu said, "It was not Dr. Lu's credit. Dr. Lu had already given the job to the prince to prepare for his death. It was all thanks to the princess, who was a skilled doctor and insisted that the prince could still be saved. She locked him up in his room for days and nights and brought him back from the brink of death. The princess also risked her life to find an antidote to cure the prince's leg."

"It was my little sister who cured it?" Chu Zhongxi was quite surprised.

"Yes, it was because the princess cured the prince's injury that the emperor finally showed mercy and spared her life, and allowed her to marry into the palace as a concubine. Otherwise, I'm afraid..."

Hei Mu stepped on Bai Yu and signaled him to stop talking.

When Bai Yu saw that Chu Zhongxi looked unhappy, he thought that he had upset him by mentioning the matter of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery Mansion, so he quickly stopped talking.

Chu Zhongxi was in a state of panic. When had his younger sister ever studied medicine? Moreover, when he saw her perform an autopsy today, her technique was skillful, her thinking was clear, her expression remained calm, and her hand holding the knife was particularly steady. This was obviously not something that could be achieved by working as a coroner for a month or two.

Is this still the sister I know? Why does it feel like she has become a complete stranger?

When Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi came out, they saw that the three of them were silent and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

Chu Yunxi asked curiously: "What happened?"

Before Bai Yu could speak, Chu Zhongxi couldn't help it anymore, he pulled Chu Yunxi's arm and said, "Come with me, I have something to ask you."

Chu Yunxi was involuntarily pulled away by him, feeling a little uneasy and guilty, "Second brother, what's wrong?"

Chu Zhongxi pulled the person far away, and when he was sure that no one could hear him, he pulled Chu Yunxi's arm, lifted her sleeve and asked, "Chu Yunxi, how did you get this scar?"

There was a crescent-shaped scar on Chu Yunxi's right arm. She looked at it and searched the original owner's memory. "When I was eight years old, my second brother was climbing a tree, and I wanted to climb up, but he refused to pull me up, saying that if I wanted to learn how to climb a tree, I had to rely on my own ability. I got angry and climbed up by myself, but I fell down halfway. My arm scratched the stone on the ground and bled a lot. After it healed, this scar was left."

Chu Zhongxi kept frowning at her. Chu Yunxi knew that he was suspicious and testing her, so she pretended to be puzzled and asked, "What's wrong, second brother? Why are you asking about this scar for no reason?"

Chu Zhongxi did not answer, and asked again: "When did you learn medicine?"

Chu Yunxi had expected him to ask this question and had already prepared the answer. "You followed your father to the border for five years. Your mother was in poor health and needed to see a doctor and take medicine all year round. I thought about studying medicine and treating your mother myself, so I found a famous doctor and studied for five years. However, the master had a strange temper and didn't like us to mention his name, so we rarely mentioned him when we were outside. You and your father never came home, so I didn't tell you. I don't know if your mother mentioned him in her letters to your father."

"us?"

"Yes, I have another senior brother who is planning to open a restaurant on Jingmao Street. He is currently renovating it. My senior brother's name is Wen Rulan. He is very good at martial arts. If there is a chance, you can learn from him."

Anyway, Wen Rulan and Chu Zhongxi will have to meet sooner or later, so they can explain it together to avoid trouble.

Chu Zhongxi really didn't find any flaws and felt that he might be too suspicious. After all, he hadn't been home for five years, and a lot of things could have happened in five years. His younger sister had grown up so well, and as a brother, he should be happy.

Thinking of this, Chu Zhongxi finally felt relieved and patted Chu Yunxi on the shoulder, "Little sister, you have grown up and become so good. I feel like I don't recognize you anymore."

Chu Yunxi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that she had finally passed this level, so she pretended to act coquettishly and said, "Second brother, what are you thinking about? Are you afraid that someone will pretend to be your sister? I'm not a big shot. No matter what I become, I will always be your sister."

Chu Zhongxi laughed, "That's right, you will always be my sister. If anyone bullies you in the future, tell your second brother and he will take care of him for you."

As he said that, he glanced at Xiao Mubei. Chu Yunxi smiled secretly in her heart. She would have a backer in the future, a biological brother and a senior brother who was as good as a biological brother. She suddenly felt her back straightened.
