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

Seeing a group of people waiting for her, Chu Yunxi felt very embarrassed. She apologized repeatedly, "Sorry, sorry, I kept you waiting for a long time. Let's set off now."

Xiao Mubei walked forward, took Chu Yunxi's hand, put it to his mouth and blew on it, saying, "The weather is still cold, why don't you let Hongyu get you a hand warmer? Look how cold your hands are."

The detectives nearby all looked up and pretended to look at the mountain. Chu Yunxi felt even more embarrassed and gently patted Xiao Mubei, "There are so many people watching."

"What are you afraid of? You are my princess. Isn't it normal for me to care about you?" Xiao Mubei said as a matter of course.

Chu Yunxi felt that she couldn't explain to him that she couldn't show off her affection in public, so she simply stopped talking about it. However, she still felt very happy in her heart, so she said, "Then let's go up the mountain?"

Bai Yu Hei Mu immediately called the detectives with a look, "Let's go up the mountain."

The detectives all rushed to the front, and after a while Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi fell behind, chatting as they walked.

Chu Yunxi asked, "Your Majesty, what do you think His Majesty means? Can he listen to my advice?"

Xiao Mubei also thought about Emperor Sui Ming's reaction many times in his mind last night, and he had a vague answer in his heart, "I think my father must have listened to me. Although he reprimanded me yesterday, he said that it was not my turn to comment on who he abdicated to. This shows that he has the intention of abdicating."

"Yes, I heard that too," Chu Yunxi nodded, "Besides, with the example of the retired emperor, it's not difficult for him to make this decision."

"Yes." Xiao Mubei sighed, "The current problem is who to abdicate to. I have no intention of taking the throne, and I guess the same is true for my sixth brother. The crown prince is not suitable to be the king, and the other brothers are still young. Father actually has no choice."

"Your Majesty can only solve this problem yourself." Chu Yunxi was also helpless.

"By the way, have you found the location of the narrow gap?"

"Found it," Xiao Mubei helped Chu Yunxi put the scattered hair on her forehead behind her ears, "It's on the side of the Guanyin Temple on the top of the mountain, a place that is rarely visited."

"Then why didn't this person who burns incense go to the Guanyin Temple, but went to a deserted place on the side of the temple instead?"

"Could it be that they were knocked unconscious and then taken over there and thrown down?"

Chu Yunxi thought about it and shook her head, "No, Your Majesty, do you remember that there were baskets next to these skeletons, filled with incense, candles, and yellow paper? If they were knocked unconscious and then taken there, why would the murderer have gone to the trouble of carrying the baskets?"

That's the reason. Xiao Mubei couldn't figure out the reason, so he said, "Let's go up and take a look first. Maybe we can find some clues."

"Okay." Chu Yunxi quickened her pace.

Longyu Mountain is very high and covers a large area. In addition to the main road leading to Guanyin Temple, there are many small paths in the mountains and forests. If two people are together and get separated, it will be difficult to find each other.

The constable who found the thin line of sky marked the way along the way so that they would not get lost. Fortunately, the terrain of Longyu Mountain is relatively flat, so although the hike is tiring, it is not difficult.

When they arrived near the Line of Sky, it was already past lunch time. Chu Yunxi stood on a high place and looked around. There was a village scattered on the hillside not far from the Line of Sky. There were about thirty houses. At this moment, she could vaguely see a figure swaying.

Chu Yunxi and Xiao Mubei came to the vicinity of the Line of Sky. From here, they could see a huge crack in the mountain. They couldn't see the bottom when looking down from above and had no idea how deep it was. If it weren't for chance, Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi would have discovered the corpse below. This was indeed a perfect place to dump a corpse.

Now is the season when everything revives. The grass on the cliff has sprouted, covering all the traces on the cliff. Chu Yunxi and a group of detectives searched carefully along the cliff for more than an hour. Finally, one of the detectives shouted, "We have found something here."

Xiao Mubei immediately put his arm around Chu Yunxi's waist and used his Qinggong skills to walk over. They were already in a forest with crisscrossing branches. The constable found a piece of cloth on a branch, which must have fallen off her clothes.

Chu Yunxi gently took off the cloth, looked at it carefully, and said with certainty: "This is from the clothes worn by one of the dead."

While examining the bones, Chu Yunxi also checked the clothes they were wearing. The clothes of the corpse that had only been dead for more than three months were the most complete. She took a special look at it and found that the fabric was ordinary, so it should be an ordinary family.

Although the clothes on the other three skeletons were in tatters, it was clear that the fabrics were not particularly good materials and were just the clothes worn by ordinary people.

Now it was confirmed that the last deceased had passed through here, or had stayed here. Chu Yunxi looked in the direction and found that through the forest, it should be the village that she had just seen above.

"Your Highness, let's go to that village and take a look." Chu Yunxi pointed to the village in front.

"Okay." Xiao Mubei ordered the detectives to continue searching nearby, and he took Chu Yunxi and Bai Yu through the woods to the village.

It was already afternoon and the village seemed deserted. Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi entered the village and saw that many houses were empty.

As she was walking, she met an old woman. Chu Yunxi immediately went up to her and asked, "Grandma, why are there so few people in the village?"

The old woman glanced at them and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Chu Yunxi smiled and said, "We just finished burning incense at Guanyin Temple, and somehow we got lost and ended up here. We didn't have lunch, and now we're tired and hungry, so we wanted to find a house to buy some food, but there was almost no one here, which felt a bit strange."

"They all go to sell things near the Guanyin Temple. People in our village can make a living from this." The old woman was about to leave, but Chu Yunxi stopped her again, holding her stomach and said, "Grandma, we are really hungry. Can you sell us some food? We will give you some money."

Chu Yunxi finally met someone and didn't want to let him go.

The old woman saw Chu Yunxi's sincere face, thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then, follow me."

"Thank you, grandma." Chu Yunxi happily pulled Xiao Mubei up and followed the old woman, chatting as they walked, "What are the people in the village selling at Guanyin Temple?"

"There is everything, candles, incense, small items, Buddhist beads, amulets, food, etc."

"Then why don't you sell it, mother-in-law?"

"My son has gone. I am too old to run anymore, so I won't join in the fun." The old woman walked to the center of the village and stretched out her hand to push open a door.

"Come in and sit down. I'll get you some food. But there's nothing good in the countryside. I hope you don't mind."
