Boss, she was forced to be the wife
Chapter 65: Unsolved cases in the palace
The days of rest passed by in the blink of an eye. All the medicine prescribed by the doctor had been taken, and the injuries on Mara's body were almost healed. When the holiday ended, Mara was ready to go as usual.
The door of the Zhenfu Division was still open and bright, and the guards inside were still in a hurry. Mo Luo walked into the main hall and came to Yuge's room.
At this time, Yuge had just left the morning court and changed out of his court clothes. The red brocade and flying fish uniforms shone brightly under the early morning sun.
"Lord Yuge, my subordinates are here to report."
"Yeah"
Yu Ge glanced at Mo Luo, and slowly picked up the teacup in his hand and took a sip before continuing to ask:
"How have you been resting these days?"
"Thank you to Lord Yuge for your relationship. I have a good rest."
Mo Luo stood up straight and said naturally, while Yuge looked at Mo Luo to confirm that she was resting well, and then said:
"Now that you've rested, there's something you need to check with Ah Wu. She's in the west room now. Go find her."
When Mo Luo heard what Yu Ge said, he didn't say anything nonsense. He just bowed and bowed before turning around and walking out of the room.
Mo Luo didn't know what Yu Ge had arranged for her. She had nothing to do today, so she went directly to the west room.
At this time, Ah Wu was looking at the rows of corpses in the west room. He only heard a knock on the door, and then a person said:
"Sister Ah Wu, Lord Yuge asked me to come with you."
It was Mara who was standing outside talking. After getting permission, she opened the door and came in. However, as soon as she entered, she smelled a pungent and unpleasant smell - the smell of dead bodies.
Mara held his breath and walked in. As soon as he entered the room and took a quick look, he saw rows of corpses placed on the ground.
As a result, someone handed me a piece of handkerchief and tied it on my cheek, and then I spoke:
"How did so many people die?"
The Jin Yiwei on the side made room for Mo Luo and explained:
"You were resting a few days ago and you didn't know that there was an unsolved case in the palace."
"Oh?"
After hearing what the other party said, Mara became interested, and looked at one of the corpses that was already stiff, and had obviously been dead for a while.
"What kind of unsolved case is it?"
The Jin Yiwei glanced at Ah Wu and found that her eyes were still on the corpses and had no intention of speaking, so he continued:
"Many attendants have died in the palace recently!"
"They are all men."
Mara glanced at the corpses lying in rows and said.
The Jin Yiwei nodded, glanced at the corpses and then said:
"Yes, they are all servant men, most of whom are of low status and do some cleaning work, but the cause of their death is the same..."
Mo Luo was listening carefully, but she felt that the man stopped talking at the critical moment, looked at her helplessly and said:
"Why do you show off at the critical moment?"
The man really wanted to tell a story and create a sense of suspense, but then he thought that this was not storytelling on the street, and Master Ah Wu was still nearby, so he was not trying to tell a story at this time!"
"Scared to death?"
Mara repeated the cause of death with some confusion and said to himself:
"Is there anything scary in the palace?"
"Alas, several people have died. This incident alarmed Her Majesty the Queen, so she ordered us to investigate."
At this time, Ah Wu had already finished checking again. She stood up, took off her gloves, clapped her hands and said:
"Okay, let's show her the condition of the corpse recorded by the editor, and we'll go to the palace in the afternoon."
The person Ah Wu was talking about was naturally Wan Mo Luo. After saying that, she left the west room and headed towards Yu Ge's room. Mo Luo looked at her leaving back and wondered if she had discovered anything.
p>
It’s just that it’s useless to think too much at this time, so I read the files with other Jinyiwei. The other Jinyiwei have read these files countless times in the past few days, but this is the first time for Maruo to come into contact with them.
p>
She opened the first victim's file according to the time of the crime, and saw that it simply contained the victim's name and basic information. Looking down, it was the cause of his death——
Excessive fear leads to liver and gallbladder rupture and death.
In short, it’s scary to death?!
"It's really scary..."
Mo Luo murmured in a low voice, and then looked behind him. The few people behind him were similar, and they all died of fear.
It's just that this file is not very detailed. It only briefly introduces the name and age of the victim, the time, cause and place of death, and the rest is unknown.
Mo Luo read it once and then again, and couldn't help but sigh after watching it for the fourth time - no wonder everyone in Jinyiwei couldn't see anything.
As expected, nothing useful can be seen from this information.
So Mara put down the file and walked to the side of the row of corpses. There were nine corpses in total. Each corpse had no external injuries, but even if some of them closed their eyes, their expressions were ferocious and terrifying.
, not to mention that some of them still stared hard.
If I look at it for a few more times, I'm afraid I'll have nightmares.
Mara checked, and the only thing he could confirm was that these people were just low-level sweeping servants. They were wearing the clothes uniformly worn by servants, which were plain gray and rough clothes. They were the lowest-level servants in the palace.
Only coolie slaves would wear it.
It’s not like those slaves who follow their master are all wearing good materials.
I have seen people scared to death by Mara, but this time there are so many people for the first time, and I have just read the file, and the location of everyone's death is different.
In this way, if it was the same thing that scared them to death, I'm afraid this thing is still circulating in the palace.
Thinking about it this way, it’s no wonder that Her Majesty the Queen wants the Jin Yiwei to solve the case as soon as possible. There is an unknown thing in the palace that can scare people to death at any time. So far, it is only some low-status slaves who have been scared to death.
If this unknown weird thing intensifies and harms the master in the future, then the gain will outweigh the loss.

The palace is also in panic because of this matter, and rumors of hauntings have spread like wildfire. Now no one is willing to take the initiative to keep vigil at night, for fear that if something happens to them, they will be the next unlucky guy to be scared to death.
After reading the corpses and files all morning, and adding the explanations from the guards around him, Mo Luo had a general understanding of the matter, but it was useless to just talk on paper.
We still need to go into the palace under the leadership of Ah Wu in the afternoon to see where the crimes occurred to see if there are any traces left.
Mara didn't believe that there were ghosts in the world. If there were ghosts in the world, she had been an assassin for so many years and had assassinated so many people that she would have crawled out and dragged her by the feet.
It's just that she's not sure if there are ghosts in this world. She hasn't been exposed to any supernatural events before and hasn't thought about it. Now is the time to know more about this world.
In fact, Mara still doesn't really believe that there are ghosts in this world. If there are ghosts, then this person will more or less encounter a few hungry people begging for food when walking on the road at night.
However, she still accepted the amulet from a timid Jin Yiwei. According to Gu Na, her father went to the temple to ask for it after he learned that there might be ghosts and gods on her mission.
I begged for a few more and brought them with her, so that if she encountered any ghosts or spirits, at least she could save her life.
Facing others taking out life-saving items and sharing them with him, Mara said thank you, put the amulet in his arms and kept it well, feeling a good impression of the little sister in his heart.
After lunch, the group was led into the palace by Ah Wu. Ah Wu showed his token to the guards at the entrance of the palace, and then they walked along the long palace road.
Everyone has a map of the palace in their hands, which only marks the general palace gardens and locations, with the focus being on the crime scenes.
Ah Wu assigned the tasks as she walked. Mo Luo was assigned to a crime scene in the south palace. Following her was the Jin Yiwei who gave one of the amulets to herself.
Mo Luo vaguely remembered that this person's name seemed to be Xiangxiang, and he usually didn't talk much. At this time, the two of them had already walked into a lush forest.
This palace is very large. There are some places where the trees and rocks are jagged, and some places are lush and green. The scenery in each place is different. It can be said that the scenery from all over the world in spring, summer, autumn and winter is integrated into one palace.
But now neither of them is in the mood to see the scenery. Mara is in a hurry, and the longing is just out of fear.
Today is a cloudy day, with thick dark clouds making the sky look very low, as if heavy rain will fall at any time.
At this time, entering this dense forest looks even more gloomy, making people feel chills standing on end when they walk in.
Xiangxi pulled Mara's sleeve and motioned her to walk slower.
Although Mara was in a hurry to rush to the place where the crime occurred, he still slowed down because he was kind enough to give her his amulet.
As the two walked, they heard a faint cat meowing from the woods. The sound was soft and soft, and it seemed that it would be blown away by the wind at any time.
"Did you hear it, Mara? It seemed like a cat meowing... and it was a bit like a child's cry..."
Xiangxi was not sure whether what he heard was a cat meowing, and in the end he began to doubt himself.
Mo Luo just looked at her lightly and said:
"It's a cat meowing. There are many people in the palace who raise cats to pass the time."
"I...I'm afraid of cats..."
Xiangxi felt a little relieved after hearing Mara's words, but still responded timidly.
"Get over it."
Xiangxiang's pace slowed down while she was talking to Mara, but because she was holding Mara, she walked faster, and Xiangxian was also led to walk a few steps faster.
There is a winding path between the woods, which is the fastest way to the crime scene. After Mo Luo took Xianxuan for a while, he suddenly heard another cat meowing.
This cat meow was much clearer than before. It seemed to be right in front of me. Xiangxiang obviously heard it and stopped in fear:
"Mara, there is really a cat in front of you!"
Mo Luo was paused by the sudden stop of admiration, but then he nodded without saying anything and continued to move forward.
Helplessly, she was holding on to Mo Luo at this moment, and she didn't dare to let go of her. She was afraid, but she also knew that if she let go of Mo Luo, she would be walking so fast, and if she was left behind, she would be even more scared.
p>
The two people walked a few hundred meters in tandem, and suddenly heard the sound of cats meowing from very close to them.
It's not as gentle as before. It seems that many cats are roaring and making threatening sounds. It sounds like there are angry and threatening sounds of cats from all directions in the forest.
"Oh my God, are there a group of cats ahead!"
Xiangxian was obviously startled by the voice, his whole body trembled, and he looked at Mo Luo and said in confusion.
"Don't worry, we just go out."
Mora was not interested in the fight among the cats. He only stopped for a short while and then continued to move forward with the provocative voices of the cats.
Only after walking a few hundred meters did I see another rockery at that corner. On top of it, there were more than 20 cats of various sizes scattered on the rockery rocks, rising and falling one after another.
They yelled at each other and meowed non-stop.
"So many cats!"
Xiangxiang was so scared that her legs were weak. She was not afraid of anything but creatures like cats. She had no idea at this time and looked at Mara waiting for her to make a decision.
Mara took a look at the location of the rockery. It was a corner. There were rockeries on both sides of the trail. At this time, there were cats on the rockery facing each other. They were howling, and they didn't know whether they were in heat or just fighting.
.
It's not impossible to pass through the group of cats now, but Mara glanced at the two warring longings.
Her eyes shifted to the group of cats again. At this time, several cats had already seen Mo Luo and Xiangxian, but they did not show any signs and even turned a blind eye to her.
In this case, there was no need for Mara to rush over in such a hurry. She pulled Cangxi and stood next to a tree, indicating that Cangxi should take a rest first.
Seeing Xiangxian squatting on the ground with weak legs and a pair of eyes peeking at the group of cats on the two rockeries not far away, Moro knew that she was still afraid.
"Mara, why don't we find another way?"
In the face of his admiration, Mara actually disagreed. If he walked another kilometer, he would be able to exit the forest. Turning a corner, he would find the place where the crime occurred. If he turned around and went back, it would probably take more time.
And before Mara had time to answer, the cats on the two rockeries were already fighting with each other.
From the initial verbal demonstration to the direct resemblance of iron claws, the scene at the rockery suddenly became a mess. It didn't look like an ordinary play between animals. The fights between these cats were really going to kill each other.
Soon the miserable howlings of cats were heard in the forest. Mo Luo looked around and even saw that some cats were injured, some had their eyes scratched, some had their throats bitten, and they were all injured.
More and more cats are quitting the fight.
There were only five or six big cats left there, and they were still fighting. No one was willing to lose first. After a stalemate for a while, the golden-orange cat was lame and howled towards the snow-white cat.
The explosive cat rushed over, and these cats started a new round of fighting.
