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

After waiting for another two hours, the sun was setting. Even Xiao Mubei couldn't sit still any longer. He wanted to call other detectives over when a man suddenly climbed out from the crack, startling Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi. Chu Yunxi looked closely and saw that the man had his face covered with a black scarf, but it was Bai Yu.

"Bai Yu, how did you get up from down there? Why are you still covering your face?" Chu Yunxi stuck her head out to take a look down the crack. A gust of mountain wind blew over, and her body swayed. Xiao Mubei hurriedly pulled her back.

Bai Yu was very tired. He pulled off the black scarf covering his face, took a few deep breaths, and pulled the rope that was originally placed on the ground opposite to him and lowered it down. He said, "Your Majesty, Hei Mu is still down there. I'll pull him up first."

Xiao Mubei also stepped forward, and when he felt a pulling force from the bottom of the rope, he and Bai Yu worked together and quickly pulled Hei Mu up.

Hei Mu also had his face covered, and he took off the black scarf after coming up. He was pulled up, so he was not that tired, so he reported to Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi as soon as he came up, "Your Majesty, Princess, Bai Yu and I found a hidden cave under the opposite hillside, so we went in to check, and found four bodies in the cave."

Chu Yunxi was startled, "What's the condition of the corpse?"

Bai Yu said reluctantly: "Two of them have turned into bones, and the other two have been severely rotten and smell very bad, but from their clothes, we can tell that they are four women, and..."

"What else?" Chu Yunxi couldn't help but ask when she saw Bai Yu hesitating.

Bai Yu and Kuroki looked at each other and finally said, "Their stomachs were cut open."

What? Chu Yunxi looked at Bai Yu in shock. She thought of what Ah Cheng said, that the young couple who went up the mountain was pregnant. Could it be that four couples were killed, and the husbands were thrown directly into the crack, and after the wives were killed, the babies in their stomachs were taken away?

Who are so cruel? What is their purpose?

"How did you climb up from here?" Xiao Mubei pointed to the place where they had just climbed up.

Bai Yu scratched his head. "The cave is full of twists and turns, and there are many forks. Hei Mu and I kept wandering around, but we couldn't find the way out. Later, we accidentally came to a cave entrance below. I looked around and found that the distance to the top was not very high, so we should be able to climb up. So I asked Hei Mu to wait, and I climbed up."

"If we go down now, can we still find the body?" Chu Yunxi asked worriedly.

"That's no problem, because places where there are corpses are particularly smelly, and we can find them by following the smell." Bai Yu couldn't help feeling a little nauseous when he thought of the smell.

No wonder the two of them covered their faces with black scarves when they came up. It turned out that they were intoxicated by the stench of the corpse.

Chu Yunxi made a prompt decision, "It's closer from here, right?"

Bai Yu nodded, and Chu Yunxi said to Xiao Mubei: "My Lord, take me down, I want to see those bodies."

Xiao Mubei naturally agreed, so they took back the Flying Tiger Claw, tied the rope to the tree and hung it down, leaving Hei Mu and some constables on top to watch the rope to prevent anyone from sabotaging it. Xiao Mubei took Chu Yunxi, Bai Yu, and some constables down into the cave.

This cave was indeed not far from the top, about seven or eight stories high. It could not be seen from above, but it was easy to see by going down to the side of the crack. Chu Yunxi had an idea in her mind. She was afraid that the murderer had lured the person to the ridge, then hung the person down from here and put him into the cave. No wonder the person disappeared so quickly. It really didn't take much effort.

Chu Yunxi distributed two masks to everyone, and only started to walk in after they were all armed. Bai Yu led the way in front. It was indeed very winding inside, with one bend after another. Chu Yunxi marked every bend to make it easier to find the way out.

Soon, a pungent smell began to appear, which could not be resisted even through two layers of masks. Chu Yunxi was quite familiar with this smell. This smell would appear at many crime scenes that had been there for a little while. In fact, in many cases, the bodies were not discovered until the stench of corpses appeared. So it was really not easy to be a forensic doctor, and one had to endure it no matter how bad the smell was.

Many constables had already started to retch, while some were trying to hold it back, but it was obvious that they were not feeling well. Fortunately, they soon arrived at the place where the corpse was, and the stench here was extremely bad.

Chu Yunxi first took a look around the environment. This was a relatively closed cave, not big, about ten square meters. There was a stone bed with a lot of dark red bloodstains on it. Several corpses were thrown in the corner. There was a stone table in the middle of the cave with a copper basin on it. There were also a lot of bloodstains in it, but it could be seen that the bloodstains were very light. It should have been filled with a mixture of water and blood.

Chu Yunxi squatted next to the corpse in the corner. Xiao Mubei asked the detectives to guard outside. The detectives felt as if they had been pardoned and couldn't wait to flee the cave. Although the smell outside was not good, it was better than here.

Chu Yunxi carefully examined several corpses and deduced the time of their death based on the environment and the condition of the corpses. Most importantly, from the two corpses that had not yet completely turned into skeletons, Chu Yunxi could clearly see that their stomachs had been cut open with a large hole, revealing the internal organs. One of the corpses had been dead the shortest time, only more than a month, and judging from the wound on her stomach, her stomach must have been cut open after death.

Kill the person first, then dissect the body and take out the baby. Chu Yunxi couldn't help but three words appeared in her mind: Yin-born child!

After a pregnant woman dies, the baby in her belly can still survive for about five minutes. If the belly is cut open immediately after death to take the baby out, the baby will most likely survive. People call this kind of child a Yin-born child. There are usually some bad things about Yin-born children, such as being able to understand yin and yang, having heavy evil spirits, being able to predict the future, etc. I don't know if there are any legends about Yin-born children in this era.

But now was obviously not the time to ask about this. What Chu Yunxi was more worried about was how they were going to take these bodies out.

Obviously, these four female corpses, and the four male corpses they brought back to Dali Temple before, were all husband and wife. The time of death of the female corpses was generally about one month later than that of the male corpses. This also confirmed Chu Yunxi's previous guess that the couple was deceived into the mountain together, and somehow they were knocked unconscious. The men were directly thrown into the crack, and the women were locked in the cave, waiting for delivery. Once the child was about to be born, it meant that their death was coming, and the mother would be killed to take the child, so the women would die later than their husbands.
