The coroner and the concubine doctor pursue the murderer in the Dali Temple
Chapter 306 4 Bones
Xiao Mubei naturally saw it as well. He patted the back of Chu Yunxi's hand, signaling her not to be nervous. Then he asked her to stand here first while he went over to check.
Xiao Mubei came to the center of the cave, looked around first, then looked down at the corpses. There should be four corpses, all of which had turned into bones. Scattered next to the bones were indeed incense, candles and yellow paper. They should be people who went to burn incense in the temple on the mountain.
Seeing that there was no danger, Xiao Mubei called Chu Yunxi over, as she was an expert in examining corpses.
After checking a few skeletons, Chu Yunxi said, "The time of death of these skeletons is different. The longest is about a year, and the shortest is only more than three months."
"It's turned into bones in more than three months?" Xiao Mubei didn't quite understand the changes that occur after death.
Chu Yunxi raised her head and pointed at the crack of sky. "Because this place is exposed to the air, and there is sunlight and rain, the speed of turning into bones will be accelerated. Combined with the fact that it is spring now and this person died in winter, the speed of turning into bones is a little slower. If it was summer, it would only take ten days or half a month to turn into bones."
"I see." Xiao Mubei learned a lot about autopsy from Chu Yunxi.
"Did these people accidentally fall?" Xiao Mubei looked at the location of the corpses and could basically determine that the bodies fell from the narrow gap in the sky.
Chu Yunxi carefully looked at the condition of each skeleton. After examining them for a while, she shook her head and said, "They must have been knocked unconscious and then thrown down to die."
The Line of Sky is very high. From below, it seems to be as high as several dozen stories. It should be at the top of Longyu Mountain. However, the place where they are at the moment is below the ground, so falling from it is equivalent to falling directly from the top of the mountain into the ground, which will surely lead to death.
Xiao Mubei didn't understand why Chu Yunxi judged that these people didn't fall. Chu Yunxi pointed at the bones and said, "Your Highness, look at these people's bones. Their sternums and spines are broken. These are injuries from falling from a high altitude, but their arms and heels are not broken. If they fell or jumped down by themselves, they should be standing upright. Normally, their heels and calves will be broken. As for their arms, people's survival instinct will make them support themselves with their hands or hold their heads with both hands, then their arms will also be broken, even comminuted fractures, but these parts of their bodies are intact or only slightly fractured, which means that they were unconscious when they fell, that is, they were thrown down after they fell unconscious."
"Then he killed him." Xiao Mubei didn't expect to encounter a murder case here, and they didn't even know how to get up there.
"Yes, all four victims are male. Judging from their skeletons, they are between 18 and 25 years old. They are all over 5 feet tall, not short. They died at different times and were not thrown down at the same time. However, the way they died was the same. It is certain that the murderer is the same person."
"They are all so young?" Xiao Mubei found it a little unbelievable. Men around 20 years old are usually strong and healthy. These guys are not short either, so it is unlikely that they would be knocked unconscious easily.
"Yes, because the body has turned to bones, we can't see more, and we can't tell whether the person was knocked unconscious by drugs." Chu Yunxi stood up and took off her gloves. This was all she could see at the moment.
It seems to be another serial murder case. The victims were all people who went up the mountain to burn incense. There is a murderous demon hidden on Longyu Mountain.
After checking these skeletons, the two had to consider a practical problem, which was how to get up. Although this cave was not small, it was independent. Except for the narrow gap above the head, there was no other place connecting to other caves. It seemed that the possibility of getting out of it was zero.
The two had no choice but to walk out of the cave again. Xiao Mubei looked at the stone wall. It was extremely smooth, with almost no place to step. If it were him, he should be able to climb up with difficulty, but he was also worried about leaving Chu Yunxi here alone. What if some ferocious beast jumped up from below and did something bad to Chu Yunxi?
Chu Yunxi also thought of letting Xiao Mubei go up by himself and then find a way to save herself after going up, but Xiao Mubei refused to agree. Chu Yunxi calculated the time and found that almost two hours had passed since the two fell.
"Then let's wait a little longer. Hei Mu and the others are up there. They will definitely find a way to rescue us." Chu Yunxi pulled Xiao Mubei to sit down. They were both extremely tired. Xiao Mubei hadn't slept for a long time and his eyes were red from staying up late. Chu Yunxi let him lean on her and sleep for a while to recover his strength.
Xiao Mubei indeed felt very tired. Although he had kung fu skills, he was not made of iron after all. He had been working non-stop for the past two days and was also worried. Especially since he had just fallen from a cliff and it took him so much effort to get up, his brain had been on high alert the entire time and he indeed felt a little exhausted at the moment.
Chu Yunxi was knocked unconscious yesterday and then rested in the cave. She is still in good physical condition.
So Xiao Mubei stopped trying to be stubborn and lay on Chu Yunxi's legs to rest. After all, if Hei Mu and the others hadn't come, he would have to rely on him to find a way to get up.
Xiao Mubei soon began to snore softly. Chu Yunxi looked down at his handsome face and felt a little distressed. If it wasn't for her, he wouldn't be so tired.
She reached out her hand and gently traced his eyebrows and eyes. Although she saw them every day, she had never looked at him so closely. Now looking closely, his facial features were almost perfect. His nose was high, his lips were as if painted with rouge, his whole face was very three-dimensional, and his eyelashes were long. Although his face was a little dirty from going up and down the mountain, and his hair was a little messy, but in Chu Yunxi's eyes, Xiao Mubei at this moment seemed to have a fatal attraction.
Thinking that such a handsome and outstanding person belonged to her, she couldn't help but feel overjoyed, and lowered her head to gently kiss those thin lips.
Just after the secret kiss, a rope as thick as an arm suddenly fell from above and dangled in front of Chu Yunxi. She was startled, as if she had been caught doing something bad.
After a while, she finally realized that this should be the rope made by Hei Mu and his men, and their purpose was to come down to find them. She hurriedly woke Xiao Mubei up and said, "Your Majesty, someone is coming down."
Xiao Mubei had just slept for a while, and when he opened his eyes he was still confused for a moment, but then he remembered what had happened and saw the rope next to him, so he stood up, grabbed the rope, and shook it a few times using his internal force.
A response came from above very quickly. Xiao Mubei let go of the rope and said to Chu Yunxi, "It's Bai Yu and Hei Mu. They should be coming down soon. When they come down, I'll ask them to find a way to bring the corpse up from the cave."
