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

After one stick of incense, the people at the scene began to straighten their heads one after another. Everyone was already exhausted.

The Dali Temple had never handled a case to the point where the entire army was almost annihilated. Constable Wang Ziqi was relatively far away and was not greatly affected, but he also vomited. He had a good relationship with the fainted constable on weekdays, and seeing that he was still lying next to the corpse and no one cared about him, he gritted his teeth in desperation, took out a handkerchief to cover his face, rushed to him quickly, pulled him to the water's edge and threw him in, letting the three constables in the river catch him, and he ran to the side to vomit again!

After Xiao Mubei finished vomiting, he immediately turned back to look for Chu Yunxi. Seeing that she was holding onto a tree and couldn't straighten her back, he hurried over to ask, "How are you?"

Chu Yunxi shook her head, her face was already pale. She couldn't just jump into the river to wash like the others. Now she had no clothes to change, and her whole body was smelly. She was extremely uncomfortable.

Xiao Mubei took out a handkerchief and wiped the dirt off her neck. He called the constable who was far away and not affected by the incident to come over and instructed: "Go to the Dali Temple to dispatch more people, and bring some clean clothes."

Everyone's clothes were more or less splashed with dirt from the explosion of corpses. Many people had already run far away to take a bath in the river. It was so smelly that they simply threw away their outer clothes.

The stench was everywhere. Xiao Mubei looked up at the sky and said, "It's going to rain heavily soon. Maybe the smell will dissipate after the rain. Come on, I'll take you to change clothes."

“But these corpses…” Chu Yunxi was worried.

"I will arrange for people to transport these four bodies back to the Dali Temple. The rest have not been fished out yet. This place is not far from the courtyard. You can take a shower and change clothes and come back in time."

Chu Yunxi nodded, it was indeed too uncomfortable. Xiao Mubei found Li Jinghong who was bathing in the river, explained a few things to him, and then took Chu Yunxi away on horseback.

As soon as the two left, there was a muffled thunder in the sky and raindrops as big as beans fell down.

The two of them ran to the villa in the rain. After being washed by the rain all the way, Chu Yunxi felt a little more comfortable. At least a lot of dirt on her body was washed away.

Qingxi opened the door and saw the two people. She was startled and immediately covered her nose. "Your Highness, Princess, where have you been?"

"Don't ask so many questions. Prepare clean clothes quickly and take all these clothes out and throw them away later." Xiao Mubei took Chu Yunxi and hurried towards the hot spring pool while instructing Qingxi.

Uncle Li also came forward, but immediately retreated, covering his nose. The prince and princess were too smelly!

Arriving at the hot spring, Chu Yunxi couldn't wait to take off her clothes and jumped in. Fortunately, this hot spring was running water. Chu Yunxi immersed her hair in the water and washed it vigorously for a long time. Her skin was rubbed red before she came out of the water reluctantly.

"Qingxi, smell it, is it still smelly? Why do I still have this smell in my nose?"

Chu Yunxi sniffed herself from side to side, and called Qingxi to come and smell herself, until there was indeed no smell at all. Then she changed her clothes and came out, breathing a sigh of relief, and came back to life.

Qingxi and Li Bo had already thrown away the clothes they were wearing before, and they fumigated their new clothes with incense. Chu Yunxi and Xiao Mubei didn't dare to stay any longer, so they left after changing their clothes.

The summer rain comes quickly and goes away quickly. When the two came out, the rain had stopped and there was a rainbow hanging in the sky.

Uncle Li complained, "Your Highness, you haven't brought the princess here for so long. Now that she's finally here, you're in such a hurry to leave. What's the matter? Do you think the food I cook is not tasty? Or is it that you're not comfortable living in this villa?"

Uncle Li has watched Xiao Mubei grow up since he was a child. He has no children and has long regarded Xiao Mubei as his own child. He naturally hopes that he will come often.

Xiao Mubei also understood, but he was too busy to spare time, so he could only comfort Uncle Li, "After I finish this case, I will definitely bring Yunxi over to stay for a few days."

Only then did Uncle Li let them go with satisfaction. Qingxi also took Chu Yunxi aside and told her to come often.

While walking on the road, Chu Yunxi asked, "In your heart, are Uncle Li and Qingxi already like family members?"

Xiao Mubei was silent for a moment, then asked, "Why do you ask?"

"Because you have never comforted Butler Ling," Chu Yunxi pulled the reins and leaned forward as much as possible, "I think you are much closer to Uncle Li than Butler Ling."

Xiao Mubei chuckled, "You've observed very carefully. That's right, Uncle Li and Qingxi are both elders around my mother. Uncle Li watched me grow up, and Qingxi grew up with me. To me, they are like family members, and have never been servants."

As expected, Chu Yunxi said, "Come back next time. I want to have a good chat with Uncle Li and Qingxi."

"What to talk about?"

"Secret." Chu Yunxi smiled and stopped talking. "Xiao Mubei, actually, I want to know about your childhood. I also want to know what kind of person your mother, Empress Xian, is. I want to know everything about you!"

That was all she didn't want to tell him. Chu Yunxi felt that their current relationship was like being more than just lovers but more than an intimate relationship. Neither of them had ever mentioned this topic, but they both knew in their hearts that there were feelings between them. However, there were many obstacles standing between them, and the road ahead was full of unknowns. Chu Yunxi was ready to withdraw at any time.

Being in love takes up too much time, she still prefers to work and make money!

She didn't say anything, and Xiao Mubei didn't ask any more questions, and the two of them soon returned to the river.

After a heavy rain, the smell was indeed washed away a lot. The constable who went to the Dali Temple to call for reinforcements had returned and brought clothes for the others. Everyone had taken a shower, changed clothes, and returned to work.

Li Jinghong had already arranged for people to transport the four bodies away, and the corpse catchers fished up two more bodies. These two had died not long ago, and their bodies had only turned white and wrinkled due to being soaked, but had not changed much. The faces of the bodies could be identified, and it could be seen that both were no older than twenty years old. After examination, Chu Yunxi judged that the two had been dead for no more than two days.

All six bodies were female. The longest time since death was about a month, and the shortest was two days. The corpse catchers expanded the search range in the water and did not come up until dark. They said that there were no more bodies down there.

Six people were killed. This is a big case no matter where. And according to the body catcher, these six people were thrown into the water with big stones tied to their feet. So it can be concluded that it was a murder. The places where they were thrown were consistent and the method of committing the crime was also consistent. It can basically be concluded that it was done by the same person. Who is so cruel and keeps killing young girls? Do the families of these girls know that their daughters have been killed?

At least so far, the Dali Temple has not received any reports of missing persons. Of course, it is also possible that the cases have not been reported to the Dali Temple. After all, the Dali Temple mainly receives criminal cases.
