Demoness, Where Are You Fleeing To?

When Li Xuan arrived, Sima Tianyuan had already begun to ask everyone here: "What happened to the old lady? Who discovered her body first? Why was there no one around her before the incident? Also, what happened to the old lady?" Where did the knife come from?"

Many of the servants and maids here, including the lady in charge beside Mrs. Cui, were in a state of panic and confusion, and none of them could answer the question clearly.

Finally, a maid in her twenties spoke: "To tell you what to say to your lord, the old lady was taking a nap at the time, so we were all on the second floor. The first one to discover that the old lady had committed suicide was Grandma Lin."

The lady in charge finally calmed down: "I went up to the third floor because I felt something was wrong. Our wife has a nose problem and would snore after falling asleep, but it was very quiet upstairs at that time. As for the knife in the old lady's hand, that It’s a tailor’s knife, and it seems to be found in every courtyard of the Zhendong Hou Mansion.”

Sima Tianyuan narrowed his eyes and said: "The old lady is so old, and there is no one to look after her during her lunch break?"

The nun in charge shook her head: "This is the rule set by the old lady herself. She doesn't like others to disturb her. But a month ago, our master hired an expert to protect the old lady. It is said that this female cultivator Because he is very clever, he is a famous magician who has opened the third gate, the Nine Layer Tower Realm."

"Then where is this woman?" Jiang Hanyun asked attentively: "Why did your master suddenly invite such a great master to protect your old lady? But what enemies have you had recently?"

"The master left early this morning. Last night our old lady received some news and asked the master to do something for her. The man originally refused and argued with the old lady for a long time. . In the end, the old lady threatened her by hitting the wall, and said that this was the Zhendong Marquis Mansion. Who could touch her? That expert couldn't defeat my old lady."

The grandma in charge said with a hesitant look: "As for our enemies, there are too many. Although I don't know exactly, my master has served as censor for three times, and he has offended many people during his tenure. To be honest with you, , the master has been always suspecting that an enemy is watching him recently, and he even suspected that our second young master’s violent death in Lan Yue Tower may have something to do with it.”

Sima Tianyuan couldn't help but be stunned, and looked at each other with Jiang Hanyun, both of them saw some confusion in the other's eyes.

Especially Jiang Hanyun, as a witness to the Lan Yue Tower case, her eyebrows were slightly furrowed and her heart was up and down. She then diverted part of her attention and looked at Li Xuan, who was already conducting an autopsy.

The latter was concentrating on examining the deceased's hair and had not heard anything about Sima Tianyuan's interrogation.

It can be seen that his technique is very skillful and he inspects it very carefully, searching almost every centimeter and every inch without missing any detail. Next are the facial features and fingers of the deceased - although the order is similar to that of Zhang Lingwu. But Jiang Hanyun could tell that Li Xuan was more serious and meticulous than that one.

That Zhang Lingwu was already extremely focused and careful, but Li Xuan was even better. Often if something seems a little inappropriate, they will go back to the previous steps, which are so thorough and detailed that they are almost harsh.

Only this person's spells are a bit jerky, far inferior to Zhang Xu's.

Jiang Hanyun watched intently, and a strange light gradually appeared in his eyes. She felt that Li Xuan's demeanor and temperament at this moment were completely different from his usual self.

"Captain Jiang is watching so intently?"

Sima Tianyuan suddenly spoke, waking up Jiang Hanyun who was gradually fascinated by the sight. He asked teasingly: "I'm quite curious. Are you looking at Li Qianzhi? Or are you looking at the corpse? There's something wrong with your eyes." .”

Jiang Hanyun's face turned red after she regained consciousness, and then she glared at Sima Tianyuan with a slightly annoyed look: "I don't know what you are talking about! Have you finished asking those people?"

"After asking, there are no useful clues. I am only a little concerned about the enemy that grandma mentioned."

Sima Tianyuan shook his head and said with a solemn expression: "Cui Hongshu, who died in Lanyue Tower that day, was a second-generation ancestor who did all kinds of evil and deserved to be killed with a thousand swords. But this man's father, Cui Chengyou, was a rare He is an upright official and cadre, and is deeply trusted by His Majesty today. Because he was the princess, he was not allowed to be promoted, and he has been transferred among the seventh-level supervisory officials for ten years. However, he has an outstanding official reputation in every term, and is known for his selflessness. The local officials are as afraid of him as a tiger."

"I have also heard of Cui Yushi's name." Jiang Hanyun frowned and said: "But if Cui Yushi's former enemies did it, then why was Mrs. Duan killed by the same method? Just because these two are sisters-in-law?"

Sima Tianyuan clasped his hands on his chest: "I don't know this, but it is something we must find out. By the way, did your four-tailed fox smell anything?"

"No, it doesn't smell any aura or inspiration that is different from the people here. There is none within thirty feet."

Jiang Hanyun continued to watch Li Xuan's autopsy while talking.

The latter had already lifted up the old lady's sleeves, and this one focused on the bruise on her right elbow for a while.

There was also a coffee table next to the deceased, and the bruises on his right elbow were probably caused by the impact. But Li Xuan carefully observed thirty breaths, then raised the old lady's arm, flexing and stretching it back and forth.

Sima Tianyuan couldn't help but asked curiously: "Is there a problem here?"

"Maybe, ligament -"

Li Xuan remembered that the words ligament and tendon did not exist in ancient times, and immediately said, "The deceased had tendon rupture, fascia strain, and may even have bone fractures."

"Broken tendon? Strained fascia?"

Sima Tianyuan looked puzzled: "Are there any fractures or fractures? Is it caused by the impact?"

"Probably not. This situation is very strange." Li Xuan also looked very strange: "It's incredible. This kind of injury seems to be caused by bones and muscles exerting force in opposite directions. But I can't be sure. The only way is to open it with a knife." Only after we open it can we know the truth.”

Human bones cannot move on their own and can only be transmitted through muscles. But the skeleton of the deceased seemed to have a will and strength of its own.

But before he finished speaking, the nanny screamed: "You can't do an autopsy! You can't do it. Do you want my old lady to live in peace even after she dies? You want to operate on the old lady's body unless I die?" !”

Li Xuan frowned and continued to examine the body according to the autopsy procedures.

But what he saw next was the same as Zhang Xu. There were congestion and scaly lines on the chest, slight burns on the lower edge of the chest on the side of the liver, and more severe burns on the inner edges of the thighs.

The insides of the clothes in these parts all had scorch marks from the fire.

"How is it?" Jiang Hanyun looked concerned: "What was the cause of death?"

Li Xuan stood up thoughtfully: "All the characteristics are similar to the Purple Butterfly Witch's 'Fantasy God Purple Fire'. It looks like he was manipulated by the Purple Butterfly Witch's 'Fantasy God Purple Fire', and then cut his own throat." die."

"Purple Butterfly?" Jiang Hanyun was surprised for a while: "Are you sure? But why would this purple butterfly demon attack Mrs. Cui for no reason? She never hurts people easily."

Sima Tianyuan said thoughtfully: "It is indeed the characteristic of the 'Illusion God Purple Fire'. I had guessed this when I saw the scaly lines on the old lady's chest before. I have seen such marks ten times before. After a few times, it couldn’t be more familiar.

As for the reason why the Purple Butterfly Witch killed people, it is also unknown whether this was also Cui Yushi's former enemy. It's embarrassing to say that we have never seen this woman's true appearance, and naturally we don't know her identity. "

Li Xuan clasped his fists at this time: "Master Captain, I think the scar on the old lady's arm is very suspicious. It would be best to cut it open and take a look."

Jiang Hanyun looked at the wide-eyed grandma and the maids behind her, and then scratched her head with a headache: "I want to, but I can't do it now. I will ask someone to contact Cui Yushi, Ask him for his opinion, but don’t expect too much.”

Li Xuan was helpless when he heard this. He knew that such officials were the most taboo about such things.

People in this era believed that the body was inherited from its parents, and they also believed that the soul was distributed throughout the human body. The absence of a complete body meant that the soul was incomplete.

So no matter how enlightened Cui Yushi was, he probably wouldn't be willing to have his mother's body disemboweled.

When the group returned to the left courtyard, the autopsy on Zhang Xu's side had already been completed for a long time.

As soon as Li Xuan walked into the main hall, Zhang Xu looked sideways at him: "Li Youxiang, there must be scaly lines and burns on Mrs. Cui's body? Is the shape similar to Mrs. Duan?"

Li Xuan frowned slightly and responded truthfully: "Mrs. Cui does have bruises and scales on her chest, which are similar in shape to Mrs. Duan. There are slight burns on the lower edge of the chest, near the liver area, and on the inner thighs. It’s just that the old lady’s elbow——”

But just as his tone changed, Zhang Xu had already clasped his fists at Zhendong Marquis and the three demon-subduing captains present: "Master Marquis, the three adults should be fine. I have only seen this kind of trace a few times. I've seen it in the Purple Butterfly robbery case. The victims are all burning with purple fire, their hearts are hallucinating, and their whole bodies are out of control, and they are at the mercy of the purple butterfly witch."

"That's the 'Illusion God Purple Fire'. I've seen it three times at UU Reading www.uukanｓhu.net. The one that impressed me the most was when a salt merchant's sixth floor martial arts cultivator was bewitched by the purple butterfly and not only opened it for her with his own hands. The door of his own bank, and then he hit his head against the wall and passed out."

Lei Yun was chewing on a black stone as he spoke: "The principle and mechanism of this 'Phantom God Purple Fire' are still a mystery. Liu Sanjie and Liu Dawu of our Liudao Division speculated that these victims had taken a drug beforehand. This drug is deposited in the liver and stomach. It is triggered by the purple butterfly witch's magic, causing hallucinations. However, this is just a guess. It has not been confirmed. We have not found any unusual drug ingredients in the victim's body so far.

But what is certain is that there is absolutely no other person in the world who has mastered this kind of 'Illusion God Purple Fire', and the Purple Butterfly Witch has also appeared in your mansion today, so she is extremely suspicious. "

"But the Purple Butterfly Demon Girl never hurts innocent people, and her attacks are always measured. Although I hate her very much, I have to admit that this woman is indeed worthy of the word 'thief has a way'. And today the murderer killed The method of killing the two old ladies was extremely cruel, which is not her style."

Sima Tianyuan's eyes were hesitant, and then he looked at Zhendong Hou with questioning eyes: "Master Hou, I wonder if your mansion has ever offended this Zidie? Or is there any grudge in the past?"
