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

Chu Yunxi brought Bai Yu into the backyard. The smell of blood became stronger in the night. Chu Yunxi frowned and looked at the hell on earth in front of her. Just now in the front yard, most of the dead were servants. In the backyard, most of the dead were female servants.

The light was a little dim, so Chu Yunxi asked Bai Yu to hold a torch to illuminate the area while she examined the bodies one by one from front to back.

"The same murder weapon, but from what we can see, the murderers behind are two other people. Their knife skills are a bit chaotic. You see, each of them was stabbed at least three or four times before they died, and the causes of death were also different. Some died of severe bleeding from slashed arteries, some died of slashed throats, and some died of punctured organs. It is clear that the murderer's skills are not as good as the first two."

Xiao Mubei's voice sounded behind him, "Since it's so chaotic, how did you determine that there were two murderers?"

Chu Yunxi turned around and found that Xiao Mubei had returned without her noticing and had taken the torch from Bai Yu. Bai Yu was writing furiously beside her, recording what she had just said.

Chu Yunxi pointed at the wound on one of the bodies and said, "Your Highness, look, this murderer used to use the knife with his right hand, and it was an oblique trajectory." Chu Yunxi gestured twice with her hands, and when Xiao Mubei nodded to indicate that he understood, she looked at the other person, "But the wound on this person is straight. The six bodies I have seen so far all have these two types of wounds, proving that there are two murderers."

Xiao Mubei understood.

Although the Gao family has a son-in-law who is an official, the family business is only moderate and not as large as that of an official family. The family is not large either. Apart from the old couple and their married daughter, there are only two sons. The eldest son is about 35 years old, has married a wife and has a son. The second son is only 20 years old and has been married for less than a year, and now his wife is pregnant.

But now, except for the married Gao, all the others have turned into corpses. The first corpses Chu Yunxi saw were those of the family of Gao Haokun, the eldest son of the Gao family.

Although she had prepared herself mentally when she came, when Chu Yunxi saw the little body tightly held in the woman's arms, her heart couldn't help but tighten.

This was the scene she least wanted to see.

The mother used her body to protect the child tightly, but the child was stabbed several times from behind. These stab wounds were not fatal. The fatal wounds to both mother and child were penetrating wounds. One knife stabbed through both of them.

Chu Yunxi clenched her teeth, steadied her hands, and slowly separated the two. The mother was holding her too tightly, and Chu Yunxi had to pry her hands apart for a long time. Even after they were separated, the mother's hands were still in the posture of holding the child, which was heartbreaking to see.

"Judging from the state of rigor mortis, these people died about three hours ago, that is, they were killed around midnight. The time of death of the people in the front and back yards was almost the same. The murderer should have entered the front and back yards at the same time and started the slaughter in two groups."

Chu Yunxi sighed. Normally, a coroner shouldn't bring in personal emotions, but a coroner is also a human being, with emotions and desires. She really couldn't face all this indifferently.

Every time she examined the child's body, she couldn't help but cut the murderer into pieces in her heart.

Xiao Mubei also sighed and told Bai Yu to call people to cover the examined bodies with white cloth to preserve the final dignity of the deceased. He and Chu Yunxi continued to walk inside.

Looking further inside, what Chu Yunxi saw were the bodies of Gao Haoyu, the second son of the Gao family, and his wife Chen. The bodies of the two were in the room. Gao Haoyu was about twenty years old and tall. He should have resisted, but unfortunately he was no match for the murderer. He had the most knife wounds on his body, about twenty or so, and the fatal wound was a ruptured artery in his thigh, causing continuous bleeding. He died of heavy bleeding.

Chen, who was standing next to her, was pregnant. It looked like she was almost seven months pregnant. The baby was already fully formed, but unfortunately, it would never have the chance to be born.

Chen was stabbed in the stomach, and the baby inside was stabbed as well. Her throat was also cut, and she died quickly.

"Gao Haoyu must have watched his wife being killed. His artery ruptured, so he didn't die immediately, but Chen died immediately. This was the cruelest thing for Gao Haoyu. The wounds on his arms and front were almost all defensive wounds, but the wounds on his back showed no signs of resistance. He must have been very desperate and gave up resistance, and eventually bled to death."

After all, Gao Haoyu was young and strong. If he had fought back hard, with only two people on the other side, he might have had a chance to escape. However, he did not even leave the room. The only explanation was that he stayed to protect his wife.

He is a caring and righteous man.

Chu Yunxi and the other two continued walking forward in silence. It was no exaggeration to describe the scene tonight as hell on earth. Although they were all used to seeing dead people, the impact of this scene was still great, and everyone felt heavy in their hearts.

Before reaching the main house at the back, I saw the bodies of the head of the Gao family, Gao's father Gao Qinghe and his mother Yuan. They were two white-haired old people, their hands tightly clasped together as they died.

Chu Yunxi felt her nose sour. She sniffed and suppressed the sadness in her heart before bending over to check the bodies of the two people.

"These two people were the last to die. They were killed by the same murderer, the one with the most profound skills in the front yard. It seems that when these two people were killed, the four of them had already gathered here."

Unfortunately, the roads in Gao Mansion were all paved with bluestone slabs. After a heavy rain, all traces were washed away, and the ground was covered with blood. The hem of the skirt that Chu Yunxi had just changed into had turned dark red.

Chu Yunxi didn't care at all. She carefully examined the bodies of the two men. "They were killed with one blow. This man was quick, accurate and ruthless. He should be the strongest among the four. He is probably the leader of these men. The four of them used the same knife. It seems that they are from the same organization. We can start from the killer organization to investigate."

Xiao Mubei nodded, "Okay, all the victims have been examined. I'll ask them to take the bodies back to the Dali Temple first."

Chu Yunxi nodded tiredly, "Okay, I just did a rough inspection just now. I will have to conduct a detailed re-examination when I return to Dali Temple."

Chu Yunxi has always been extremely rigorous when it comes to work. This time, the time at the scene was short and it was the first crime scene. Logically, there should have been more clues and traces left behind, but it happened to rain heavily, which reduced the traces a lot.

But it was not without gain. At least two bloody footprints were seen in Gao Haoyu's room. Based on the bloody footprints, Chu Yunxi guessed the height of the two killers in the backyard. They were both around five feet eight inches, of medium build. It's just that the range was a bit large, but it was a clue after all.
