Looking at Yue Lingxiao's head with a slightly frightened expression in front of him, Chen Yutian and everyone felt a sense of astonishment in their hearts at the same time.
The head in front of them belonged to the murderer they had been targeting for a long time. It was also the head that all of them firmly believed could never be chopped off.
But now it appears in front of everyone in this form.
Everyone is having a hard time accepting what is happening in front of them!
But even so, this is still a fact!
The murderer Yue Lingxiao wanted by the government was dead, and his head was sent to the hands of Jiulong Mansion by someone for some ulterior purpose.
"Sigh... I didn't expect that we haven't found Wu Chengtian's head yet, but his head appeared in front of us first." After a long time, Huo Yuanji sighed.
"That's right." Someone in the crowd nodded slightly. Chen Yutian looked up and saw that it was Huo Yuanji.
The latter smiled slightly and asked: "It's just that even the murderer of this case is dead now, how can we continue to investigate this case?"
Hearing this, everyone present fell silent for a while.
Everyone's eyes turned to Chen Yutian involuntarily.
Chen Yutian touched his chin and pondered for a moment, then looked at Tianying, "The case will naturally continue, but I need to think carefully about the whole story of this case. In addition, I also need to tell Uncle Xing, them and Ling about the situation here as soon as possible. Brother and the others, I’ll leave this matter to you.”
Tianying nodded, "Just leave it to me."
Chen Yutian nodded slightly, and then waved his hands slightly to everyone, indicating that everyone could leave.
So everyone left the hall one after another, only Gongsun and Xuan Xi still stayed inside, looking at Chen Yutian.
Chen Yutian looked at the two of them and smiled, "You can go and rest first. I'll wait for Fengling here to see if she has caught that person."
"Then I'll wait with you!" Xuan Xi stood next to him resolutely and said.
Gongsun nodded slightly and took Yue Lingxiao's head away.
Looking at his leaving figure, Chen Yutian's eyes became solemn.
what on earth is it?
He turned around and returned to the main hall, opened all the files on the unsolved case that he had just ordered to prepare one by one, and recalled the entire case from the beginning.
Seeing this, Xuan Xi also picked up a volume and started investigating it from the beginning with him.
The initial incident of the whole case was the death of the first deceased, Wu Chengtian. It was from his death that headless corpses appeared one after another, and all of them were the heads of the nine major snakes of the Nine Snakes Society in the past. flow.
The reason why Yue Lingxiaowei was identified as the real culprit in the entire case was because the last person Wu Chengtian saw before his death was him.
Moreover, according to the servants of the Wu family manor, they heard Wu Chengtian and Yue Lingxiao arguing in the room, and then Yue Lingxiao walked out angrily.
Based on the estimated time of death, the Gyeonggi Prefecture determined that it was at this time that he killed Wu Chengtian, pretended to quarrel with him, got angry, and successfully fled the scene.
Therefore, his murder suspicion is undoubtedly the highest!
This sounds reasonable and without any problems.
But these... after all, are just inferences.
And the inference...cannot be the truth!
Even if it is the most reasonable inference based on what happened at the time, as long as it is still an inference, it cannot become a fact.
And no matter how accurate the inference is, it is always deviated from the facts!
Thinking of this, Chen Yutian frowned slightly.
If there is a deviation between this inference and the facts, where will this deviation appear?
At this moment, Tang Fengling, who went to chase the mysterious visitor, came back dejectedly.
Seeing her expression like this, Chen Yutian naturally understood everything.
"Didn't you catch him?" Xuan Xi glanced at Tang Fengling in slight surprise.
After all, when it comes to Qinggong, Tang Fengling is the most powerful in the Jiulong Mansion. Her internal power of empty shadow can not only amplify Qinggong, but also has void attributes, allowing her to travel through the void for a short period of time. Especially when her skill has increased to the peak level of Gang Qi leaving the body, except for the more powerful saints, it is impossible for anyone in the world to escape from her pursuers, even those at the perfect level of Gang Qi.
Therefore, Xuan Xi was even more surprised when he learned the result!
"He and Cunning are also very smart. Perhaps in order to allow himself to escape smoothly in front of Senior Ice King and the others, he did not directly use Qinggong to escape, but directly used an escape weapon such as the Void Button to shuttle directly Void leaves." Tang Fengling said feeling helpless.
Xuan Xi nodded slightly, "I see. That's no wonder."
"Hmph! If he didn't have a magic weapon, I would have arrested him long ago." Tang Fengling said angrily, then looked at Chen Yutian and asked.
"By the way, what did that guy give you? I was walking in a hurry just now and didn't see it clearly."
Hearing this, Chen Yutian slightly moved his eyes away from the book, looked at her, and asked, "Are you sure you want to know?"
"Of course!" Tang Fengling nodded.
Chen Yutian did not speak directly, but pointed outside and said to her: "The things have been taken away by Gongsun. If you want to see it, go ahead."
After hearing this, Tang Fengling's expression froze for a rare moment.
"Uh... In this case, let's forget it... Those who can be taken away by Gongsun are either headless corpses or cold human heads. I have seen too many of these things recently. I'd better go and see other things first..."
After saying that, she smiled coquettishly, winked slightly at Xuan Xi, and left.
Chen Yutian was amused by her appearance, but before the smile fully bloomed on his face, a flash of light suddenly flashed through his mind!
"Wait...what did she just say?"
Chen Yutian suddenly grabbed Xuan Xi's sleeve and asked!
Xuan Xi was slightly surprised, and immediately replied: "She said she won't go to Gongsun's place for now, and wants to go down to rest first."
"No, that's not the sentence." Chen Yutian shook his head.
Xuan Xi asked curiously: "Which sentence is that?"
"What's that sentence about the headless corpse?" Chen Yutian thought for a while and said.
"A cold head!"
"Yes, that's it! Leng Bingbing... Lengbingbing..."
Chen Yutian suddenly slapped his thigh and murmured in his mouth. The look of deep thought in his eyes became more intense. After a moment, a look of surprise suddenly appeared.
"I understand...that's how it is..."
Seeing this, Xuan Xi immediately asked curiously: "What? What do you understand?"
"I finally understand what's strange." Chen Yutian said.
Xuan Xi became even more confused, "Strange, have you ever said before that you thought something was strange? Why don't I remember?"
Chen Yutian smiled and said: "The first time I received Yue Lingxiao's head, I felt a little strange, but then I suddenly saw Yue Lingxiao's face. I was shocked and ignored this. Knowing that Tang Tang had just Fengling's words made me think of this matter again."
Xuan Xi nodded and said: "Hmm...so? What do you think is weird?"
"Temperature!" Chen Yutian said with a confident smile on his face.
"temperature?"
"Yeah, I didn't understand it until just now. The moment I received Yue Lingxiao's head, its temperature was very strange." Chen Yutian nodded.
The look of confusion on Xuan Xi's face became more and more tired, and she asked: "What's the strange method?"
"The head has almost no temperature, it's cold." Chen Yutian replied.
As soon as these words came out, Xuan Xi's eyes suddenly changed, and then he glanced at Chen Yutian helplessly and said: "Of course the head of a dead person is cold...can it still be as warm as a living person?"
Chen Yutian shook his head, "That's not what I mean... I told you that although the body will become cold after death, there is a process, and it will not become cold all of a sudden, and even if The coldness of the corpse is also different from the temperature I felt on Yue Lingxiao's head. The temperature of his head is not as if it has just been cut from the corpse, but as if... it has been frozen for a long time and has just been thawed. .”
"Oh? What do you mean..." Hearing this, Xuan Xi's eyes flashed slightly.
Chen Yutian shook his head slightly, "It's hard to say now. Let's go. Let's go to Gongsun and ask him to help verify it. If the result is the same as I expected, then the truth of this case... I'm afraid there will be a real A big reversal.”
After saying that, he directly pulled Xuan Xi out of the main hall...
…
…
Arriving at the autopsy room, Gongsun was examining the head as expected.
Seeing the two people approaching, Gongsun immediately walked over from the head and said with a smile: "Sir, Your Highness, you came just in time. I just happened to have some new discoveries here."
Hearing this, Chen Yutian also smiled.
"It's a coincidence. I happened to find a new clue here, but I just don't know if we found the same clue."
Gongsun smiled slightly, "If there is such a coincidence, it can only show that there is a great tacit understanding between students and adults."
Chen Yutian suddenly burst out laughing...
"Haha... I didn't expect that even Mr. Gongsun would make a joke... But let's talk about what he discovered first..."
Hearing this, Gongsun looked serious and said, "Sir, the student found that this head seems to have been artificially processed."
"Oh?" Chen Yutian raised his eyebrows slightly, "But are there traces of being artificially frozen?"
Gongsun was stunned for a moment, then looked at Chen Yutian and Xuan Xi, and smiled, "It seems that your findings are indeed the same as those of the students... So what do you think of this?"
Hearing this, Chen Yutian immediately put away the smile on his face and said seriously: "This is the reason why I came here to find you. You need to do two things for me now."
"Oh? What's the matter?"
"The first thing is to find out the cause of death of Wu Chengtian's headless corpse... The second thing is to find a way to extract a drop of blood from the head and the corpse..."
Chen Yutian told those two things.
When the first party came out, Gongsun's expression was still as usual.
Although he was not sure why Chen Yutian wanted to test the cause of death of the headless corpse again, at least this was an extremely simple matter for him.
But when Chen Yutian said the second thing, his expression suddenly changed.
Not only him, but also Xuan Xi standing aside could not help but change his expression.
Because this matter is really too difficult.
After all, after death, the body loses all vitality and the blood coagulates. It is almost impossible to extract blood from it!
Even though Gongsun had already done something similar once in Snow Mountain Villa,
Gongsun touched his chin and pondered for a moment, then his expression suddenly changed: "Could it be that...you doubt..."
Chen Yutian smiled slightly and said: "Yes, that's what I think, so I need you to do these two things. How about it?"
Gongsun pondered again, then nodded: "It's not a big problem, but you may have to wait a little longer."
Chen Yutian smiled and said: "This is not a problem. We will wait in the pavilion outside. When you have everything ready, just inform us."
After that, he took Xuan Xi and left directly.
After walking out of the autopsy room, Xuan Xi just asked with a hint of tentativeness: "Do you suspect... that the person who died was not Wu Chengtian?"
Chen Yutian was slightly surprised, then looked at the girl with a strange look, and said with a smile: "You actually guessed it?"
Xuan Xi was slightly speechless and said: "You have already made it so clear. If I still can't guess, will I really become a fool soon?"
Chen Yutian thought to himself, isn't that what you are?
Xuan Xi glanced at him slightly, and his expression suddenly changed, "What is that look in your eyes?"
Chen Yutian was stunned for a moment, then quickly smiled and said, "Nothing, nothing. Let's go to the pavilion and wait for Gongsun's results."
After saying that, he directly pulled her towards the pavilion in the distance.
Seeing his enthusiastic look, Xuan Xi frowned slightly.
The two stayed in the pavilion for about half an hour, and Gongsun called them back to the autopsy room.
As soon as he entered the door, Gongsun told Chen Yutian that the cause of death of Wu Chengtian's headless corpse was indeed as recorded in the file. It was due to excessive blood loss from the head of Yi Jian Xiao.
"So he did die of manslaughter?" Chen Yutian frowned.
He originally thought that Wu Chengtian also died from the Heart-Destroying Sword Qi, but because Wu Zuo did not understand martial arts at the time, he could not check it out, but now it seems that this is not the case.
But even so, it doesn't mean anything.
Everything still depends on the second thing he ordered Gongsun to do.
I saw Gongsun taking out two vials from his arms. Chen Yutian opened them and looked at them, and found a drop of blood in each. I thought this should be the blood extracted from the head and corpse.
Then Gongsun brought in a basin of water from outside.
Seeing these things, Xuan Xi immediately understood what they were planning to do.
Gongsun and Chen Yutian looked at each other. After the latter nodded slightly, the former uncorked the two vials and poured them into the basin of water.
Two drops of blood immediately fell into the clear water
