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

Mr. He thought about it seriously, "Those people seem to be well-trained. They kill people without hesitation and indiscriminately. It seems that they are here to destroy the village."

Chu Yunxi said to Xiao Mubei, "Your Highness, in this situation, let Hei Mu and Zi Han lead the Purple Guards to search the village for any survivors. Try not to destroy the scene. If anyone is found, send them here. We will stay at Old He's place for the next few days."

Xiao Mubei understood what Chu Yunxi meant, so he went to make arrangements. Chu Yunxi helped Old He sit down in the main hall. Old He sighed, "I used to like quietness, but the village has been too quiet these past two days. I realized that excitement is life. It's a pity that I can no longer hear the sound of Erniu's mother chasing Erniu and beating him, nor can I hear the old man telling me to drink."

Old He's tears flowed heavily. All his neighbors, with whom he had lived for decades, were gone all of a sudden. It was hard for anyone to accept this.

Chu Yunxi also cried along. She cried for her father-in-law and aunt-in-law, and for those innocent villagers. In the past, when there was a murder, she performed autopsies, and except for the bodies of children, there were very few things that could make her emotional. But now, it was her father-in-law and aunt-in-law who had been so kind to her who passed away, and she found it difficult to control her emotions.

The two of them cried for a long time before they gradually calmed down. Chu Yunxi said, "Master, you must have not slept much these two days, right? Go to sleep for a while. Don't be afraid. It's safe now. I will definitely find out who destroyed Jumu Village and find those people. I will avenge Father Weng, Aunt Weng, and the people of Jumu Village!"

Mr. He had been in a state of great mental tension these past two days and had not slept much. When he saw Chu Yunxi, he felt relaxed and indeed felt very sleepy, so he patted Chu Yunxi's hand and went to sleep.

As soon as Mr. He lay down on the bed, he began to snore softly. Chu Yunxi walked out quietly and began to carefully search for traces in the yard.

She didn't dare leave Mr. He's house now. She didn't know whether that gang would come back again. Although the possibility was not high, she had to be vigilant. In addition, she also wanted to take a quick look at the traces in the yard first. When the Purple Guards came, she would let them guard Mr. He, and she could start the autopsy and investigate the scene.

There is land in Mr. He's yard. It hasn't rained in the past few days, so the ground in the yard is very hard and there are almost no footprints left. However, Chu Yunxi discovered a detail. This group of people, whether they had killed someone or entered Mr. He's house to investigate, always closed the door before leaving.

If the entire village is massacred, is there any need to close the doors after killing everyone?

In modern times, Chu Yunxi had encountered people who killed someone and then closed the door before leaving. However, with modern housing structures and social security, the phenomenon of village massacres basically does not occur. Closing the door is to delay the crime and give the suspect more time to escape. However, it is different in Jumu Village. The entire village was massacred. What difference does it make whether the door is closed or not?

This is a suspicious point that Chu Yunxi can’t figure out for the time being.

At this time, Zi Han came running over holding a five or six-year-old child, whose eyes were closed. Chu Yunxi hurried over and asked, "Zi Han, what's going on?"

Zi Han paused, took a breath and said, "We searched the center of the village and found the child hidden in a pile of firewood. He was still breathing. We don't know if he fainted from fear or hunger."

Chu Yunxi hurriedly asked Zi Han to put the child on the ground. She squatted down to check and said after a while: "It was caused by excessive shock. I'm afraid it will take some time to recover after waking up."

After placing the child in another room, Chu Yunxi asked Zi Han to stay and look after the old and the young while she went to help search for people.

But unfortunately, after searching the entire village, no living person was found.

Chu Yunxi has accepted the reality. She returned to her father and aunt's home. She did not move the bodies of the two people first, but entered the house carefully to check if anything was missing. After all, she had lived here for a few days before. If something was missing, Chu Yunxi might be able to tell.

After looking for a while, Chu Yunxi really noticed something different. All the food in Father Weng and Aunt Weng's house was gone!

Chu Yunxi searched the house of her father and aunt Weng, but didn't find even a tael of silver. Was it that they didn't have the silver, or was it taken away by someone?

Chu Yunxi walked over to look at the bodies of Weng's father and aunt. Both of them were killed by a knife cut in the throat. It can be seen that they were having breakfast when the incident happened. The door should have been open at the time. The murderer must have come very quickly, so that the two of them had no chance to leave the table at all, and their throats were cut directly.

Just like Mr. He said, these people acted decisively and without hesitation. It was definitely not the first time they killed someone. Moreover, they killed indiscriminately, not caring about the elderly or children. It seemed that they had no humanity at all.

Coming for money?

Chu Yunxi thought about it, walked out of Father and Aunt Weng’s house, and went to the house next door.

Xiao Mubei discussed the murderer's motive with her, "If it was for money, then every villager in Jumu Village must be rich? That's why they got killed. Otherwise, why did the murderer choose this village in such a remote place to kill people?"

Chu Yunxi also felt something was amiss, so she asked Xiao Mubei, "Where is the nearest town from here?"

Xiao Mubei had been to Nandi before and was very familiar with the terrain of Nandi. He said, "It's Qingluo Town, which is about fifty miles away from here. I also heard from Father Weng that they go to Qingluo Town to purchase daily necessities."

"Why is Jumu Village so far away from the town? Does this village have any special features?"

Xiao Mubei didn't know about this. He thought about it, called Hei Mu over, gave his token to Hei Mu, and asked him to ride as fast as possible to Qingluo Town, call the local officials, report the case, and ask all the government officials in Qingluo Town to come as well.

“The locals should know best.”

Chu Yunxi nodded and pushed open the door next door.

There was a family of three living next door. The scene was also very tragic. The mother hugged her child tightly. The two of them were lying in the middle of the main room with a pool of blood under them. It looked horrifying.

The man fell not far from the door, his eyes wide open, one hand covering his neck and the other hand stretched forward, as if questioning who the visitor was, blocking his wife and son behind him.

Unfortunately, the power disparity between the two sides was too great, and he was ultimately unable to stop the sudden danger and save his wife and children. The family of three suffered the sudden disaster and all died at home.

Chu Yunxi examined the bodies and found that the male owner had his throat cut, and the female owner and the child had been stabbed several times and died from excessive blood loss.
