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

Xiao Mubei picked up the flute that had fallen to the ground. There was a mechanism on the flute. With one press, a dagger would pop out from the end. With another press, the dagger would retract and turn into a flute.

Xiao Mubei said, "Prince, can I see the weapon of the assassin two days ago?"

Asek nodded and pointed inside the tent. "It's with the body."

Xiao Mubei, Chu Yunxi, Chu Zhongxi and Asek entered the tent together. Baiyu and Heimu were guarding outside. Because the tent was also built temporarily and there was no ice, there was already a faint smell of corpse in the tent.

Chu Yunxi took out masks and distributed them to everyone. Chu Zhongxi was holding a torch and had no hands to put on the mask, so Chu Yunxi helped him put it on.

The two bodies were placed separately on both sides of the tent. It might be that Asek didn't want his personal guard and the assassin to be close to each other. The body on the left was placed on the soft straw and covered with a white cloth. It should be Asek's personal guard Ali. The body on the right was thrown casually on the cold ground. It must be the assassin.

Xiao Mubei stepped forward, picked up a flute from beside the assassin's body, and asked, "Is this the assassin's weapon?"

Asek nodded, "Yes."

Xiao Mubei looked at it and found that there was indeed a switch on the flute. When he pressed it, a short sword popped out. It was indeed similar to the assassin's weapon. It seemed that Asek was right. The two should be from the same school. But which school in the martial arts world used musical instruments as weapons? Xiao Mubei had never heard of it.

"Grand Prince, in your Shusha, is there any sect whose weapons are musical instruments?"

Asek obviously didn't know much about the affairs of the underworld. When he heard this, his face went blank for a moment and he shook his head and said, "I really don't know. I'll ask someone."

Chu Yunxi put a mask on Chu Zhongxi and began to check the assassin's body on the ground. She saw that the assassin's clothes were a little messy, especially the belt was pulled crooked, and the front of the clothes had traces of being turned over, so she said: "Prince, Prince, order someone to bring in the body just now, there should be clues."

Asek ordered the guards to bring the body in, and at the same time told the maid Alia to call Jabbar. After giving the order, he said to Xiao Mubei: "Jabbar is my adviser. He knows something about the court and the underworld of Shusha. You can ask him what you want to know later."

Xiao Mubei agreed. At this time, Chu Yunxi went to check the body that had just been brought in, but still didn't find anything special. She frowned and murmured, "It shouldn't be."

Asek asked, "What did the princess say?"

Chu Yunxi explained, "Just now I looked at him," she pointed at the previous corpse, "Let's call him No. 1 for now, and this one is No. 2. I checked the appearance of No. 1's corpse. His belt was pulled crooked, and the collar of his shirt was loose. It was obvious that someone had moved his clothes after his death in order to find something. Since this thing can be hidden in the belt or in the arms, it seems that it should not be big. I judged that it might be a jade pendant or a token that might expose their identity. Otherwise, No. 2 would not take the risk of sneaking into the mission again to look for it. But now there is nothing special on both of them. This shouldn't be the case."

Asek thought it made sense. He thought for a moment and said, "After No. 1 died, I did a quick search and seemed to have seen a black token on him. There was nothing written on it, just black. I didn't think it was anything special, so I stuffed it back into his arms. Now it seems to be gone."

"The black token? It seems that is it. Number Two risked his life to sneak into the delegation to look for it on the corpse. It is possible that he was looking for it, but now neither of them has it. Crown Prince, who has touched this corpse?" Chu Yunxi stood up.

Asek thought, "After the man died that day, I ordered two guards to move the body to the tent in the corner and let them guard it. But now the two guards are missing. I think it's a bad time. Only the two guards know who entered the tent."

Xiao Mubei walked to the door of the tent and said to Bai Yu and Hei Mu, "Search around and see if you can find the two missing guards."

Baiyu Heimu left in response. Chu Yunxi said, "The person who took the token should be a member of the mission. In other words, it was the traitor. He secretly took the token, but No. 2 didn't know. When he learned that No. 1 was killed, he was very anxious. He was afraid that the token on him would be discovered and their identities would be exposed, so he risked entering the mission to steal the token. Unexpectedly, he also lost his life. I analyzed that the token should still be in the mission, on the traitor's body."

Asek said, "So, if we find the token, we've found the traitor, right?"

"In theory, this is understandable," Chu Yunxi said, "but there is also the possibility of other situations occurring."

Asek said, "I will arrange people to search immediately." After that, he left in a hurry.

Chu Yunxi began to examine body No. 1. She took off the clothes on the body and checked his fatal wounds. She saw that his throat was cut and his trachea was cut. These were the most direct fatal wounds. At the same time, there were sword wounds on his chest and abdomen. The amount of bleeding should be considerable. The wounds were shrinking, which confirmed that they were injuries sustained before death.

Chu Yunxi turned the corpse over and suddenly found a small flute tattooed on the back of the corpse. She was startled and hurried to check the back of corpse No. 2. Sure enough, there was a flute tattooed in the same place on the back of corpse No. 2, which exactly matched the weapons they used.

"It seems that this sect is closely related to music. It is very likely that they make a living by playing musical instruments. But no one would have thought that, secretly, they are actually a group of assassins with high martial arts skills."

Chu Yunxi was analyzing when she suddenly heard a slightly old voice outside the door saying, "I am Jabar, a commoner, and I am here to assist the prince and princess in their investigation on the orders of the eldest prince."

The two looked at each other, and Chu Yunxi covered the two corpses with their clothes to hide the tattoos on their backs. Xiao Mubei then said, "Please come in."

Before the traitor was caught, Chu Yunxi and Xiao Mubei agreed that the fewer people who knew about the inside story of the case, the better.

A man in his fifties with a goatee came in. He was not very tall, had dark skin, and looked gentle and harmless.
