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

Now that their bodies have been found, they should be taken down the mountain and buried with their husbands.

Based on the time of death, Chu Yunxi could basically tell which two bodies belonged to the husband and wife.

After the autopsy, Chu Yunxi also remembered that there was a body bag in her Liyue bracelet, and she could put the body in it and take it back.

After taking out the body bag, Xiao Mubei called two constables in, gave each of them a pair of cloth gloves, and asked them to carefully put the bodies into the body bags, then zipped them up and carried them out.

No one had ever seen this kind of body bag, let alone a zipper, and they were all extremely curious. Chu Yunxi didn't know how to explain this thing, so she only said to Xiao Mubei that she could ask a skilled craftsman to study it carefully when she got back to see if she could imitate and make this kind of body bag.

After all, this kind of body bag is much more advanced and convenient than the bags currently used by the Dali Temple to hold corpses.

Afterwards, everyone searched the cave separately and found a stone chamber with signs of people living in it. They thought it was where the women lived when they were imprisoned in the cave.

When we came up from the cliff, it was already dark. The constables above had already made a fire. Some people had gone out to hunt game, while others went to find mountain spring water and brought it back to wash the game and prepare food for everyone.

They had already been on the mountain for two days and one night, and everyone was exhausted. Chu Yunxi and Xiao Mubei discussed it and decided to go down the mountain and return to Beijing tonight to bring the body back to the Dali Temple. They would let everyone go home and have a good rest for the night, take a rest tomorrow morning, and go to the Dali Temple in the afternoon to discuss the case.

After a quick meal and some rest, everyone started to go down the mountain. It was much faster to go down than to go up, but it was almost midnight when we returned to the capital.

There was no conversation that night. When Chu Yunxi woke up the next day, it was almost noon again. Hongyu came in with some water and said with a smile, "Princess, you must be exhausted. Go wash up quickly. The prince and the loyal and brave marquis are waiting for you."

The current Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery is Chu Yunxi's second brother Chu Zhongxi. Because Chu Yuanxi came back late, everyone thought he was dead, so Chu Zhongxi inherited the title. Later, when Chu Yuanxi came back, Chu Zhongxi once proposed to give the title to Chu Yuanxi, but Chu Yuanxi refused, saying that it didn't matter who inherited the title between the two brothers, and you would treat me badly? Chu Zhongxi couldn't persuade his elder brother, so he had to give up.

Chu Yunxi got up and washed, then asked, "My second brother is here? My eldest brother and sister-in-law are not here?"

"No," Hongyu handed her the washcloth, "It seems that the Marquis came to talk to the princess about this matter."

Really? Chu Yunxi quickly washed up and went to the front hall. As expected, only Chu Zhongxi and Xiao Mubei were drinking tea and chatting. Chu Yunxi went in and said, "Second brother, where is the eldest brother and his wife?"

"They went to southern Xinjiang to pick up my sister-in-law's parents. They left yesterday. I wanted to come and tell you, but you and the prince didn't come back, so they left. They asked me to come and tell you today."

Chu Yuanxi and Han Zhener had come to tell her two days ago, so Chu Yunxi was not surprised. They should be back within half a year. After all, they didn't need to stay in Southern Xinjiang for a long time. She could just bring the two old people to Beijing to enjoy their lives.

Xiao Mubei said: "Senior Brother sent someone to ask us to come over for lunch, so I didn't ask the kitchen to prepare lunch at noon. Why don't we go to Ruyun Building now? Otherwise, Senior Brother will be waiting anxiously."

"Okay." Chu Yunxi was naturally willing. Her favorite dishes were those cooked by her senior brother.

When they arrived at Ruyun Tower, Wen Rulan had indeed prepared a table full of dishes that Chu Yunxi liked. Wan Ruwei also came over with Old Madam Wan. Chu Yunxi checked on Old Madam Wan and found that she was in better condition than when she was in southern Xinjiang.

Doctor Lu also came over and said that the patient had not come recently for some reason. Chu Yunxi saw that he did not know that the patient was Emperor Sui Ming, so she did not point it out. She just said that he was probably much better now, so he did not come for the time being. Doctor Lu sighed and said that if he did not continue the treatment, it would be difficult to completely quit.

Doctor Lu is truly a compassionate person, and Chu Yunxi admires him for this. After comforting Doctor Lu, Chu Yunxi tells Wen Rulan about the case and sincerely invites him to go to the Dali Temple with them in the afternoon to analyze the case. So far, apart from knowing that the eight bodies should be four couples and the murderer's target should be the child in the woman's belly, they know nothing else.

On the way back last night, Chu Yunxi had already asked Xiao Mubei about the issue of Yin-born children. Xiao Mubei had been in the army for many years and was not very familiar with these folk rumors, so last night he gave orders to the Dali Temple's detectives to immediately investigate the issue of Yin-born children. At the same time, he also sent detectives to Jingzhao Prefecture to investigate missing cases in the past year, looking for cases where a couple had disappeared together, and where the wife was about to give birth and disappeared while going to Guanyin Temple.

Wen Rulan is also very experienced in analyzing cases, so when Chu Yunxi specially invited him, he was very happy. After all, this was his job in his previous life, and he really liked the process of solving cases. Chu Yunxi knew his character very well, so she never did cases behind Wen Rulan's back.

After a large table of people finished a lively meal, Chu Yunxi, Xiao Mubei and Wen Rulan came to the Dali Temple. Chu Yunxi went directly to the morgue first, and Wen Rulan followed her. Xiao Mubei went to deal with the things he had ordered last night.

Chu Yunxi did not follow them back to the Dali Temple last night, so now the bodies are all placed in a mess. Chu Yunxi divided the eight bodies into four pairs according to the time of death and placed them together, and said to Wen Rulan: "Brother, you see, these four couples should have carried incense, candles and yellow paper to the Guanyin Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha. Guanyin Temple is famous in the capital for its efficacy in praying for children, but since they are all pregnant and about to give birth, it means that they went to Guanyin Temple this time to fulfill their vows, but for some reason, they were deceived by a fake Guanyin Temple master and taken to the ridge of Longyu Mountain. After going up the mountain, I don’t know how they were knocked unconscious. The man was thrown into the crack of the mountain and died on the spot, and the woman was imprisoned in a cave waiting for childbirth. Once they are about to give birth, they will be ruthlessly killed, and then their stomachs will be cut open and the babies in their stomachs will be taken out. This is the general process I have deduced. Brother, do you think there is anything else to add?"

Wen Rulan thought for a moment, "Are you saying that those women were imprisoned in the caves waiting to give birth?"

Chu Yunxi nodded, and Wen Rulan asked again: "Then those children who were taken out by caesarean section, do you think they are still alive? If they are alive, where are they now? What is the use of the other party having so many Yin-born children?"
