After leaving Xuan Xi's room, Chen Yutian and Gongsun went straight out of the gate of the hotel and headed outside the city.
They were going to the scene where the unknown body was found.
On the way, Gongsun told Chen Yutian everything about the death list.
After listening, Chen Yutian just nodded slightly, "Sir, your judgment is correct. Just leave this matter to Tianhan and the others... The most urgent thing is, let's go and see the body first..."
"Yes." Gongsun nodded slightly and increased his speed.
Not long after, they arrived at the foot of the cliff.
"That's right here." Chen Yutian pointed to the thick grass and trees under the pressure. In the grass and trees, the previous corpse was lying on the cold ground as always.
As soon as Gongsun saw the body, he frowned and walked over.
The deceased looked to be in his fifties. Although there were many wounds on his body, most of them were skin injuries caused when he rolled down the cliff. There was only one real fatal wound, which was a black wound on his neck.
It was this wound that killed this man!
Gongsun frowned and took a look at the deceased's curled hands, his eyes shining thoughtfully.
Immediately, he opened the deceased's somewhat tattered clothes, but did not find any belongings.
He couldn't help but frown slightly.
Chen Yutian naturally saw what he meant, so he smiled, "Sir, are you looking for this person's belongings? They are all here!"
As he spoke, he took out a few things from his arms.
A money bag, and a bronze token...
Gongsun looked at it and wondered, "Doesn't this person have an official guide?"
Chen Yutian shook his head slightly, "No, this person must be a local, and..." As he said that, he picked up the bronze token and faced Gongsun.
I saw four words written on the front of the token.
The World Escort Agency.
Gongsun's eyes changed, and he looked slightly thoughtful, "Is this person a bodyguard from the World Bodyguard Bureau?"
"Looking at this token, there should be nothing wrong with it, and it is also the lowest bronze escort among them." Che Yutian nodded.
Gongsun nodded, and then said: "Like Li Ren, he died of the Wuying San poison."
Chen Yutian nodded, "Is it true?"
"Although the Wuyingsan poison seals the throat with blood, it does not have any symptoms." As he said, Gongsun opened the deceased's hands and pointed at the fingers of the deceased, "Look, the tips of the fingers of the deceased's hands are black. It’s a symptom that only appears twenty hours after death from poisoning.”
"Twenty hours?" Chen Yutian looked at the blackened fingertips of the deceased, his expression slightly condensed, "Sir, you mean... this person has been dead for at least twenty hours?"
"good!"
"According to this calculation, the deceased's death time was also the night before yesterday?" Chen Yutian frowned.
"That's right!" Gongsun nodded.
Chen Yutian frowned even more.
Li Ren was also killed at this time the night before yesterday. So, did they die on the same day?
"By the way, where was this thing found?" Gongsun said, taking out the embroidered handkerchief that Chen Yutian gave him on the way from his sleeve.
"There." Chen Yutian pointed to the branches on the cliff, "The deceased should have been killed there and rolled down the cliff."
Gongsun nodded slightly, then thought of Li Ren who was still lying in the post, and pondered slightly, "There are currently five people on the death list who have been ticked. I don't know this person, but is he one of those five people?"
Hearing this, Chen Yutian smiled slightly.
"This question is very simple. We can just go to Youzhou Prefecture Government Office to investigate. Since this person is a local, there should be records in the Prefecture Government Office."
Gongsun nodded slightly.
…
After lunch, everyone in Jiulong Mansion had no time to rest, so they scattered around to look for the only three living people on the death list.
After all, judging from the list, the three of them are Huadie's must-kill targets. The earlier they are found, the less dangerous they will be.
However, God didn't seem to want them to find it quickly.
"What? You haven't come back since you left in the morning?"
Tang Fengling was shocked and looked at the woman in front of her. Here is the residence of Yang Fang, one of the three living people.
The woman in front of her was Yang Fang's wife.
According to his wife, Yang Fang left the house early this morning after receiving an anonymous letter and has not returned yet.
After hearing the news, Tang Fengling naturally had some bad premonitions in her heart. He couldn't help but exchange glances with Wu Dongtian on the side.
Wu Dongtian understood and asked the woman, "Then do you know where your husband-in-law has gone?"
Not only Wu Gongtian and the others encountered a similar situation, but Xue Tianhan and Huo Yuanji, who were responsible for finding the other two survivors, also encountered a similar situation.
"You mean, your master hurried out of the house after receiving an anonymous letter today, right?"
Huo Yuanji looked at the middle-aged man in front of him. This man was the housekeeper of Shen Wan, one of the survivors.
"Yes." The middle-aged man nodded.
"Did he leave alone?" Lin Feifei thought for a while and asked.
Huo Yuanji glanced at her.
This woman shouldn't have appeared here, but when we were allocating people just now, we found that there was exactly one person missing to partner with him. He originally planned to go alone, but somehow this woman found out and insisted on following her.
Of course, he didn't have a bad impression of this woman, but he was worried that other people would criticize her.
But what surprised him was that, almost without thinking, everyone agreed to the woman's request to follow him in the investigation.
However, there are requirements.
This requirement is that Lin Feifei only needs to follow him to find someone. She does not need to and cannot ask herself any questions. To avoid leaking the facts of the case.
"Yeah, he's the only one." The housekeeper nodded.
Hearing this, Huo Yuanji's expression suddenly changed, "Oops...can you tell me, did your master say where he was going?"
"Can you tell me where he went?"
In front of another door, Xue Tianhan and Ling Miaoyin looked at the woman in front of them and spoke with a little eagerness.
The person they were looking for, like the first two, went out alone after receiving an anonymous letter and has not returned yet.
…
In Youzhou Prefectural Government Office, Chen Yutian and Gongsun stood in the court hall, waiting quietly.
A corpse was placed very conspicuously in the center of the court hall.
Ling Yuntian was adjusting his official robes as he walked. When he and Fang Jing came to the lobby, he immediately saw the corpses on display and the two figures standing quietly beside the corpses.
"Your Majesty, Ling Yuntian, pay homage to the Imperial Envoy!" Ling Yuntian bowed deeply to Chen Yutian.
Chen Yutian waved his hand slightly and said with a smile: "Sir Ling, I did not wear official robes this time, so you don't have to do this. Just get up and speak."
"Yes! The official knows." Ling Yuntian stood up gently.
Chen Yutian pointed to the corpse next to him, "Master Ling, I am here this time to ask you to help find out the identity of the deceased."
Hearing this, Ling Yuntian stepped forward and looked at the corpse. When his eyes glanced at the black wound on the neck of the deceased, his expression suddenly changed!
Such an obvious change in expression was naturally noticed by Chen Yutian and others.
"Why are you so panicked, Master Ling?"
After finishing speaking, Ling Yuntian did not answer immediately. Instead, after calming down the surprise in his heart, he asked: "I dare to ask your Excellency a question. Where was this person found? Has the place where his body been buried been found?" Found a blood-colored butterfly embroidered handkerchief?"
Chen Yutian exchanged glances with Gongsun, and said with a smile: "That's true, the embroidered handkerchief is here." After saying that, he reached into his arms, took out the embroidered handkerchief, and handed it to Ling Yuntian.
Ling Yuntian took it and looked at it carefully. When he saw the bloody butterfly pattern on the embroidered handkerchief, his expression showed surprise.
"As expected!"
"What does Master Ling mean by this?" Chen Yutian asked.
Ling Yuntian sighed, and then made a "please" gesture, "Two adults, please follow me."
With that said, he took the two of them and Fang Jing out of the lobby and went straight to the autopsy room.
After arriving at the autopsy room, Chen Yucai discovered that in addition to Han Wuzuo whom he had seen in the morning, there was also a young girl in the room at this moment.
The girl is about the same age as Lin Tao, has delicate features and looks beautiful. He just doesn't like to talk much. He holds an ancient book that has turned yellow and reads it with gusto on the desk nearby.
When Han Wuzuo saw Ling Yuntian rushing in with the two of them, he quickly stood up and asked: "I am here to pay my respects to you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Imperial Envoy... I wonder why Your Majesty is so anxious?"
Ling Yuntian looked at Han Wuzuo and whispered a few words to him. Then he saw Han Wuzuo nodded slightly and walked to the morgue next door.
Ling Yuntian followed closely and said to the two of them again: "You two adults, follow me." After that, he walked directly into the morgue.
Chen Yutian and Gongsun looked at each other and walked in.
The morgue is an ice chamber made of ice. The temperature here is extremely low, which is suitable for preserving corpses, but it is not suitable for living people to stay in it.
Chen Yutian and Chen Yutian have profound skills, but they are not afraid of this cold.
But for Ling Yuntian, who didn't understand martial arts, the cold here was unbearable.
Han Wuzuo walked to a corner of the corpse room and untied the white cloth from three of the corpses.
After seeing these corpses, Chen Yutian and Gongsun frowned at the same time.
These three corpses are all male. Their necks, like Li Ren and the bronze bodyguard, also have a black fatal wound on their necks.
This is also caused by poisoning.
"These three corpses were discovered by an old man who got up early for a walk yesterday morning. When the corpses were discovered, there were also blood-colored butterfly embroidered handkerchiefs scattered at the corpse site. This is also the reason why the official asked like that. "Ling Yuntian pointed at the three corpses and explained.
Chen Yutian and Gongsun frowned.
The death conditions of these three people were the same as Li Ren's.
Moreover, the remains of blood-colored embroidered handkerchiefs were also found at the scene of their corpses. It was certain that these three people, like the bronze bodyguard and Li Ren, all died at the hands of Hua Butterfly.
"Master Ling, I wonder when these three deceased people died?" Gongsun asked.
Han Wu said: "According to speculation, they should have been killed at midnight the day before yesterday."
Upon hearing this answer, Chen Yutian's expression changed, "Was it midnight again the day before yesterday? These five people all died at this time... Could it be that they..."
Thinking of this, Chen Yutian asked Han Wuzuo, "Mr. Han, do you know the identities of these three people?"
"Of course. The bodies have been claimed by their respective relatives, so it will be clear."
"Then what are the names of these three people?" Gongsun asked hurriedly.
Han Wuzuo thought for a while, then smiled and said: "I'm sorry, I forgot about this, but there are their corpses here, and their names are on them. Please go out and look for them."
Chen Yutian nodded slightly, "Sir, please."
Han Wuzuo nodded and walked out immediately.
In the morgue, only Chen Yutian and Ling Yuntian were left in the cold war.
…
Xue Tianhan squinted his eyes slightly and looked at the wooden door in front of him.
The wooden door is very ordinary, nothing special, just like the house in front of you.
However, in Xue Tianhan's eyes, this place was extremely extraordinary.
Because this is the place where the living person came alone after receiving the anonymous letter.
Moreover, just now, he smelled a faint smell of blood wafting out from this wooden door.
"Is this here?" Ling Miaoyin looked solemnly at the house in front of her.
Xue Tianhan nodded, "It seems you smelled it too."
Ling Miaoyin was about to nod when she saw two groups of people suddenly approaching from both sides. Both groups were a man and a woman. They were Huo Yuanji, Lin Feifei, Wu Gongtian and Tang Fengling who were responsible for looking for the other two survivors.
Seeing everyone here, all six of them felt a little strange.
"Why are you here?"
"Of course we are following Yang Fang's whereabouts!" Tang Fengling took the lead in explaining.
"We also came here to track the whereabouts of Shen Wan. His housekeeper said that after receiving an anonymous letter this morning, he left his home alone and came here." Huo Yuanji said.
"Huh? Are you like this too?" After hearing this, Tang Fengling said in surprise, "We also know from Yang Fang's wife that he came here alone after receiving the anonymous letter. What about you?"
As she said that, she looked at Xue Tianhan and Ling Miaoyin.
Huo Yuanji also cast his gaze.
Xue Tianhan nodded slightly and said two words: "Same."
Hearing this, everyone was shocked. Ling Miaoyin was surprised and looked at the wooden door in front of her. "Could it be that these three people arrived here after receiving the anonymous letter? If that's true, that would be terrible!"
"Oops?"
"Well, because we just smelled a trace of blood coming from this house." Ling Miaoyin nodded.
Hearing this, everyone stopped and sniffed solemnly, and sure enough they found a faint smell of blood in the air.
Everyone's expressions changed at the same time, and after exchanging glances, Huo Yuanji took the lead in opening the wooden door.
Behind the wooden door is a small courtyard that looks extremely ordinary.
Opposite the small courtyard are three fine upper rooms.
The six people cautiously came to the door of the middle room, and suddenly felt that the smell of blood in the air became stronger.
"not good!"
Wu Dongtian and Huo Yuanji's hearts sank at the same time, and they raised their hands to push open the door.
And when they saw the scene in the room behind the door, the pupils of their eyes suddenly tightened involuntarily!
I saw three corpses in the room, lying in a pool of blood!
Seeing this scene, everyone's hearts instantly went cold.
"Tell Gongsun, just say the death list... Now, it is worthy of its name..."
