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

The two old men nodded impatiently and came to the door of the morgue. The old woman suddenly became a little timid and grabbed the old man's arm, "Old man, what should we do if Tianxiang and Yue'e are really in there?"

The old man sighed, "Haven't you given up hope in the past six months? If it is the one inside, we will take them back and bury them properly. It will be considered as fulfilling the fate of this life."

The old couple supported each other, which made Chu Yunxi feel sad. The most tragic thing in the world is for the elderly to send off the young. These two old people were so sensible, why was God so unfair to take away their loved ones?

The old woman mustered up her courage and finally walked into the morgue. Chu Yunxi led them to the bodies of the third murdered couple and unzipped the body bag. The male corpse inside had now become a skeleton, while the female corpse was still in a state of decay. A foul odor emanated from it, but the two old people seemed not to smell it. They just stared blankly at the pieces of clothes on the two corpses, tears streaming down their cheeks.

Chu Yunxi knew that they had confirmed that the corpses in front of them were their son and daughter-in-law, so she silently zipped up her pants and said in a pale voice, "You two, please accept my condolences."

"How did they die?" asked the old man.

"The male was thrown off a cliff and died. The female was killed before giving birth. After her death... her stomach was cut open and the baby was taken away."

The old woman suddenly looked at Chu Yunxi and asked anxiously, "Girl, what did you say? Is our grandson... still alive?"

Chu Yunxi saw the old man's sudden hope and didn't know how to respond. After thinking for a while, she said, "According to our analysis, the child should still be alive, but we haven't found him yet."

The old woman grabbed Chu Yunxi's hand again, "Girl, please find my grandson. He is our life." She cried bitterly.

Chu Yunxi patted the old lady on the back and said, "Grandma, don't worry, we will do our best to find her."

The old man also burst into tears. He supported the old woman and said to Chu Yunxi: "Thank you for helping us find our son and daughter-in-law. Although they were killed, we will still remember this kindness."

"This is what we should do." Chu Yunxi called two constables and asked them to help send the bodies back and bury them. The two elderly people were old and could not withstand the hard work.

After seeing off the old couple, the families of the remaining two couples also came. One was the brother of the deceased, and the other was the parents of the deceased. Chu Yunxi asked them one by one about the situation of the deceased couple, checked the information, and found that they all matched.

After dealing with things here, Chu Yunxi's heavy mood finally relaxed a little. The ones who have not found their families yet are the last couple who were killed. They were killed the shortest time ago. It seems very likely that they are not from the capital, but from the surrounding areas of the capital. The case file has not been transferred to Jingzhao Prefecture, or there is no one else in the family, so no one reported the case.

Through understanding these three couples, Chu Yunxi confirmed her guess. As expected, the three couples disappeared when they went to Guanyin Temple to fulfill their vows. When they disappeared, the wife was only about one month old and had given birth. It seems that this is the murderer's standard for selecting targets, which is completely consistent with Chu Yunxi and others' guess.

It was getting late, and another day had passed unknowingly. Chu Yunxi felt that ever since the case started, time had passed particularly quickly. It was always dark before she had done much. Xiao Mubei went out again, and Bai Yu told her that it was Emperor Sui Ming who asked him to come to the palace.

Chu Yunxi did not return to the palace, but stayed in the Dali Temple. It was late, but she was still lying in bed without sleep. Xiao Mubei had not come back yet. Chu Yunxi was still thinking about the rumors about the Yin-born children. Yin-Yang eyes, communication with ghosts and gods, and predicting the future, which one was the murderer's intention? If it was communication with ghosts and gods, what made him kill people to create Yin-born children? You know, even if you want these Yin-born children to play a role, you have to wait until they grow up, which will take at least more than ten years. What kind of plot can extend to more than ten years later?

Chu Yunxi couldn't figure it out. She patted her forehead, trying to get these thoughts out of her mind and go to sleep quickly. However, she couldn't sleep at all. She tossed and turned for most of the night. Finally, she heard the door of the courtyard being pushed open with a "creak". She hurriedly put on a coat and rushed out, "My Lord, you are finally back."

Xiao Mubei had come back quietly, afraid to wake Chu Yunxi up, but she came out just as he entered the room, wearing only a coat. The weather in early spring was still very cold, so Xiao Mubei quickly took off his clothes and wrapped Chu Yunxi in them, then pulled her into his room and said, "It's so late, why aren't you asleep yet?"

Chu Yunxi wrapped her clothes tightly around her body, sat down on the edge of Xiao Mubei's bed, put her hands to her mouth and blew away, and the next moment her hands fell into a pair of warm palms.

"The weather is still cold. You need to wear thicker clothes when you go out next time, okay?" Xiao Mubei gently rubbed the soft and cold little hands in his palms.

Chu Yunxi nodded obediently and said, "I was thinking about the case, so I couldn't sleep for a while. When I heard that you were back, I was anxious and came out directly. What did His Majesty say to you? Why did you take so long?"

Xiao Mubei was silent for a while before he said, "Actually, today, Father didn't just summon me to the palace."

Chu Yunxi asked curiously: "Who else?"

"And my sixth brother, Prince Changning."

Chu Yunxi understood instantly, "Your Majesty, are you considering abdicating?"

Xiao Mubei nodded, "It's just that my sixth brother and I don't want to succeed to the throne. I prefer the position of Dali Temple. Compared with handling national affairs, I prefer to punish evil and eliminate evil. Moreover, I don't want to be constrained in the palace, but my sixth brother is really indifferent to fame and fortune, and has few desires. He always says that he is not talented and can't bear the burden of the country, but I know that my sixth brother reads a lot of books on weekdays. He is talented and cares about the country and the people. The sixth sister-in-law is the princess of Shusha Kingdom, has good relationships and is good at socializing. If the sixth brother succeeds to the throne, not only can the relationship with Shusha Kingdom be further improved, but the sixth sister-in-law can also be the mother of the world with ease. It is indeed more suitable than me. It's just that Yunxi, I didn't ask you, do you... want to be the queen?"

Chu Yunxi looked at Xiao Mubei's serious face and burst out laughing. "Your Highness, look at me. Apart from investigating cases, doing autopsies, and treating illnesses, what else can I do? If you let me be the queen, I will stay in the deep palace every day, unable to see corpses or cases. At most, I can check the pulse of His Majesty and the Emperor's grandfather. Do you want to suffocate me to death?"
