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

Chu Yunxi nodded, "There is indeed such a possibility. If that is the case, this incident is not an accident and should be judged as intentional homicide."

Even if the oil lamp was knocked over, if the people in the house could be woken up in time, they would not all be burned to death. Since no one was called, it means that the person who knocked over the oil lamp did not want them to live, and this is murder.

Li Jinghong said: "Look at this family of five, living in two thatched huts, they must be relatively poor. Who would be so cruel as to let such a family die in a sea of ​​fire?"

"Being poor doesn't mean you don't have enemies," Chu Yunxi looked around the ruins, and suddenly she thought she saw a flash of golden light, but when she looked again, she couldn't find it.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Mubei asked when he saw Chu Yunxi staring at a certain place.

Chu Yunxi walked over and started to move the messy things that had fallen here. "I seemed to see a golden light here just now. It should be the light from the torch reflecting off some object here."

Xiao Mubei then helped her move it, and Li Jinghong also came forward to help. The three of them moved everything around and searched carefully in the ruins. After a while, Li Jinghong touched something and asked hurriedly, "Princess, is this what you saw?"

Chu Yunxi took it quickly and saw that it was a longevity lock made of pure gold. It was small and covered with black dust. If it had not flashed just now, it would have been easily overlooked.

Chu Yunxi brushed away the dust on it, revealing the original appearance of the longevity lock. There was still some warmth on the longevity lock. Because it had just experienced high temperature, it was still a little soft to the touch, but its color was golden, and it was indeed real gold.

I saw that this longevity lock was in the shape of a gold ingot, with three small bells hanging underneath. On one side of the lock were written the words "long life and wealth", and on the other side were the words "peace". The lock was very small, and when placed in the palm of the hand it was only one-third the size of the palm, and it was clearly worn by a child.

Could this be the one that the child of the Li family wore when he was a child? But how could it appear here? Moreover, the Li family was so poor that they could only live in a thatched house, so how could they have the money to make a longevity lock for their child? You know, this pure gold longevity lock is not cheap to make.

Chu Yunxi intuitively felt that this was not something that belonged to the Li family, and it might have been dropped by the murderer.

"Search carefully again and see if there is anything suspicious." Chu Yunxi said to Li Jinghong.

Li Jinghong responded and loudly instructed the detectives to search more thoroughly and not miss any place. If they found anything out of the ordinary, they should report it immediately. The detectives responded loudly and searched even more thoroughly.

Chu Yunxi and Xiao Mubei walked out of the fire scene. It was already late at night. Chu Yunxi saw that there was basically no problem here, so she said to Xiao Mubei: "Your Highness, I want to go to Ruyun Tower again to see how the injured person is doing."

"Okay, I'll go with you." Xiao Mubei explained something to Li Jinghong, and the two of them, together with Wen Rulan, drove the carriage back to Ruyun Tower.

There was no one on the streets of the capital. The sound of horse hooves on the bluestone pavement was particularly loud. Chu Yunxi looked back and forth at the longevity lock in her hand and suddenly asked, "Your Majesty, do all the wealthy families in the capital make longevity locks for their children?"

Xiao Mubei held her hand and said, "In fact, it's not just the rich families. Most ordinary families, as long as they are not too poor to eat, often make a longevity lock for their children. Of course, the people of Seventh Floor Street may really not be able to afford it. If they want to make a longevity lock, they will probably have to save money for at least a month."

"That is to say, families with a little more money will make longevity locks for their children."

Xiao Mubei nodded, "Because the longevity lock represents the parents' deep love for their children. Every parent hopes that their child can live a long life and grow up safely."

Chu Yunxi nodded and looked at the longevity lock in her hand again. It seemed that it would take a lot of effort to find the problem with the longevity lock.

Soon they arrived at Ruyun Building. Wan Ruwei was still awake and was sitting in the living room waiting for Wen Rulan. When she saw the three of them coming back, she immediately came over and said, "You're finally back. Are you okay?"

"It's okay," Wen Rulan held her hand, "Why haven't you slept yet?"

"I'm just worried about you." Wan Ruwei breathed a sigh of relief, then yawned as she felt sleepy.

Chu Yunxi asked, "How is the injured person upstairs?"

Wan Ruwei said, "The situation is not good. Doctor Lu is using ginseng to keep him alive, but he said he may not be able to be saved."

Chu Yunxi's heart sank again. The man's burns were too severe. It would be difficult to save him.

"Where is Chen Tianzhi who sent him here?"

"He wanted to go back, but I thought it was too late, so I asked him to stay and leave tomorrow."

Chu Yunxi nodded and said, "You guys should go back and rest. It's already late. Let's go upstairs and take a look."

Wen Rulan and Wan Ruwei went back to rest. Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi went upstairs to see the burn patient. Everyone in the building was asleep and the whole building was quiet.

Arriving on the third floor, Chu Yunxi entered the treatment room and saw Li Jinze. His body was now wrapped in gauze and his face was smeared with medicine, but it could not hide the blisters on his face. He was still in a coma and his breath was very weak.

Doctor Lu was worried, so he didn't go back tonight and slept next to Li Jinze. When he heard the noise, he woke up immediately. When he saw it was Chu Yunxi, he was relieved again. He rubbed his eyes and said, "Princess, you're back."

Chu Yunxi nodded and asked, "How is he doing?"

Although Wan Ruwei told her that it was not good, when she saw Doctor Lu, Chu Yunxi still wanted to confirm it again, but she didn't hold out much hope.

Sure enough, Doctor Lu shook his head and said, "The burn was too severe. Some parts of his body have been carbonized. His skin function has basically been lost. The possibility of recovery is not high. He was almost beyond saving. I asked Yanran to give him a bowl of ginseng soup to keep him alive. That's how he managed to survive until now."

It was an expected answer. Chu Yunxi looked at the person lying on the bed. There was no better way. She took out the anti-inflammatory and burn treatment medicine from the Liyue bracelet and gave it to him. She could only do her best.

Doctor Lu watched her do all this and suddenly said, "Princess, there is something strange."

"What?" Chu Yunxi raised her head.

Doctor Lu stepped forward and gently opened the gauze on Li Jinze's ankle, revealing the wound for Chu Yunxi to see. "His tendons were cut. Even if he was lucky enough to be saved this time, he will never be able to stand up again."
