Stunning at Every Step: Sheng Chong Ghost Princess

Chapter 41
Her ears were almost deafened by Wu Xu's voice, Zhao Mingyue immediately took orders to run away, and went out with an umbrella from the door.

When Yin Shirong saw the sign in her hand, he said to his subordinates: "Shaohe, go and get the list of the cremation cases, and make a copy for this little brother to bring back to the chief commander."

The cremation case?Is it the Chiyan ghost burning incident that occurred in Jinling?
Yin Shirong said: "My little brother, sit down and have a cup of tea first, and then wait a while."

"Okay." Zhao Mingyue warmed her hands with tea, and asked again, "Lord Yin, King Yan actually attaches great importance to this case. Before, he asked the chief minister if the Yin family had found any important clues. Recently, because of this, His Highness The body has been not very well."

Although Yin Shirong had never met Zhao Mingyue, but she was born in Prince Yan's mansion, she was wearing clothes that were not servants, and she was able to get the token of the Commander-in-Chief, so she answered truthfully:
"The corpse burning case involved a total of 40 people, eight men and six women, all of whom were burned to death. These people were all ordinary people, aged between [-] and [-], with no common characteristics and no connection with each other. "

"The Commander-in-Chief has also checked, and these people are not people of the same fate, and have no special life characteristics. In the eyes of Onmyoji, it means that these people have no special meaning of being killed."

"The Yin Mansion in the capital checked and found that they had no common enemy. This can rule out vendetta, so it is speculated that the murderer committed the murder at will. At the scene of the murder, no evidence was collected, but..."

Yin Shirong stopped immediately when he said this.

Mingyue sat up straight and asked curiously, "But what?"

Yin Shirong: "Among the fourteen corpses, three corpses were not completely burned when they were found. Two of them were found to be missing a spleen and one was missing a heart. However, no cracks were found on the surface of the body, and the heart and spleen were missing. In fact, the corpses It was completely burnt when it was discovered, leaving only bones, and it was impossible to discern whether there were missing organs."

Is it to kill for organs?
Sell ​​a kidney?There are also kidney transplants here, heart transplants?
Zhao Mingyue went back to Prince Yan's Mansion with the materials given by Mr. Yin in a daze.

These materials contained the details of the deceased's identity, place of death, characteristics of death, etc. Ming Yue secretly read them on the way back.Indeed, as Wu Xu said, these are just ordinary fates and have no special value of being killed. Obviously they were randomly selected to kill.

But even if it is the behavior of a perverted murderer, the target of killing is random, but he chooses to use the same method to kill, so why does he use fire to kill?To cover up the organs he took?Once burned, I don't know what's missing from my body...

That's not right, if it's to cover up, there are still three corpses that were found without being burned, and the missing organs can still be found.

Or, regardless of whether the murderer is a man or a ghost, his killing weapon is fire?

Murder weapon?
Horcrux?

Zhao Mingyue looked at the people on the list again, the date of birth... Zhao Mingyue lightly pinched her fingers, and recalculated the vital characteristics of these people.

Could it be because of this? !
When Zhao Mingyue returned to Prince Yan's Mansion, she did not directly give the materials to Wu Xu, but added the characteristics of the five elements of "gold", "wood", "water", "fire" and "earth" to the materials of the deceased.

The five elements refer to: wood, fire, earth, metal, and water.

In our ancient view of matter, nature is considered to be composed of the operation and changes of five basic substances: wood, fire, earth, gold, and water, and the same is true for the human body. These five elements are called the attributes of the human body.

Among the fourteen dead, there were three from each attribute of wood, earth, metal, and water, and two from the fire attribute, so the total was exactly fourteen... Does this ratio matter?

If metal, wood, water, fire, and soil are balanced, there is still one...

"Zhao Mingyue?" The butler's voice came from outside the house, Zhao Mingyue quickly put the materials into the paper bag and walked out of the house, looking at the butler.

"Housekeeper, what do you need from me?"

"Are you still here?" The housekeeper was a little surprised, "It's raining so heavily, yet King Yan actually said he heard the sound of bells, it's really..."

"What did the steward say?"

"What what?!" The butler said angrily, "Yan Wang has been looking for you for a long time, why are you running around?"

Mingyue raised the oil paper bag in her hand: "Da Si Ming asked me to get something!"

"Then why don't you go to greet King Yan immediately when you come back?"

"Oh, I'll go right now!" Zhao Mingyue stuffed the bag to the housekeeper, "Please tell the housekeeper to command the chief, and I'll go to pay my respects to King Yan."

"Running again..." the housekeeper turned his head, the small figure had already passed through the rain curtain and rushed out of the academy into Jing'an Hall. After entering the room, he patted the rain on his head and shoulders, and walked into Chu Ziyan's bedroom, "Your Highness... ..."

Snapped

Chu Ziyan threw the book in his hand and hit her directly, she quickly caught the book that fell from her body, and looked at Chu Ziyan in surprise, why did this little ancestor lose his temper?

Throwing away the book, Chu Ziyan panted and asked with a pale face, "You still know how to come back?"

"I'll just go... out for a while."

"Are you happy and relaxed without me? Cough cough cough..."

Mingyue walked over and patted him on the back to comfort him: "Is it too uncomfortable? I'll pour you a glass of water."

"Come back!" Chu Ziyan yelled anxiously, almost falling off the bed.

Zhao Mingyue quickly caught him with quick eyes and hands, what are you doing?Chu Ziyan put half of his body on her wet shoulders, panting hard. "You said you would wait for the king to wake up, but you dare to run away..."

"I didn't run away... Sigh." Zhao Mingyue sighed, reached out and patted him on the back, "It's my fault, I thought you would sleep longer." In fact, at this time, she would be in Chu Ziyan's bed. Here, it's just that she was delayed because of the cremation case.

His cold hair was pressed against her face, his body was trembling slightly, his breathing was rapid, and he seemed very uncomfortable.

"Zhao Mingyue, even if there is a life lock to lock you up, this king can't tie you up, right?"

"Your Highness thinks too much..."

"In the past, those Fuzhao were obedient, and they couldn't move when this king was so ill, but you were still alive and kicking. Who are you?"

"Then His Highness hopes that Mingyue can't move like those people?" She asked with a smile.

I thought Chu Ziyan would deny it, but he held her tightly and said, "If you want to leave, you might as well be like them."

Zhao Mingyue's heart suddenly felt a little cold, this answer is quite hurtful, no, it is quite cold-blooded.If you can't keep it, why not die by his side?
Seeing that she was silent, his eyes were dark and dull, and he said quietly: "Zhao Mingyue, I am such a dark person, I have been like this since I was born, no one who has anything to do with me can break free, and I won't let you break free... …From the moment you appeared, you were doomed to bear such a fate.”

It was quite depressing, Zhao Mingyue felt uncomfortable facing such a Chu Ziyan, as if being entangled by a vine.But maybe he did this because he was too insecure, Zhao Mingyue took out a letter from his bosom, and lifted the letter from between the two of them.

"Look, what is this?"

She just changed the subject and didn't want to get entangled in the oppressive atmosphere just now. If you give too much sympathy, people will start to feel disgusted.

I remember when I was in high school, there was a girl in my class who was isolated. She felt sorry for her and went to be friends with her. Then the girl was grateful and dependent on her, and regarded her as everything in her life.But can she be everything to her?Of course not.Then the girl looked for death or life and death... Finally, the girl committed suicide by jumping off the building.

The reason is that she sent her a text message saying, "Come meet me on the roof of the school's laboratory building, if you don't come..." At that time, she didn't see her phone at all, and went to perform the task of Onmyoji.

The next day, when I went to school and heard the news that the girl had jumped to her death, I was extremely shocked. When I got home, I charged up my phone and saw her text message.

Zhao Mingyue didn't know whether she was guilty or hated that incident, but now she felt that Chu Ziyan gave her the feeling at that time, and she finally understood that maybe she had always felt guilty, so she always felt that Chu Ziyan was pitiful.Or maybe it was bored, because I felt bound by Chu Ziyan.

"Li Mubai."

"Well, is it the companion you mentioned that day?"

How does she know?

"I just guessed. If it is, haven't you been waiting for news from him? Open it and have a look."

Lighting Moon supported him against the head of the bed and handed him the letter.

Chu Ziyan tore open the envelope, took out the letter inside, opened it, and looked sad after reading it.

"What did the letter say?" She didn't believe that someone would write a special letter to tell the other party his resentment.

Chu Ziyan gave the letter to Zhao Mingyue.

Mingyue took it over and looked at it, and it was written on the letter.

His Royal Highness Yan Wang, farewell for six years, I wish you well.

I don't know why, these days I always dream about the past, about His Highness.

Don't worry, Mu Bai is not injured and everything is fine, and he is going to get married on the fifteenth day of next month. The girl I like is Song Yuncai... But after that, I never saw that garden in the snow again.

If it is possible for Mu Bai to meet His Highness again before getting married, or if he is lucky enough to invite His Highness down to drink a cup of Mu Bai's wedding wine, I look forward to replying.

Yours sincerely, Li Mubai.

"Isn't this nice?" It's just that Mingyue doesn't understand, what is a garden in the snow?Is it the memory between him and Chu Ziyan?

"It's pretty good." Chu Ziyan smiled weakly, "But, can I still travel far with my appearance?"

Zhao Mingyue looked at the address Li Mubai left below, at the foot of Lu'er Mountain, Guyang Village, Linjing City, Nanzhou.Nanzhou is not very far from Jinling, probably only two or three days away by carriage.

"Anyway, the contents of his letter did not blame His Highness, and he invited you to a wedding, obviously he still regards you as a friend."

"As a friend, I can't even drink a glass of wedding wine." There was a look of regret on his face.

Not knowing whether it was intuition or impulsiveness, Zhao Mingyue asked suddenly: "Does Your Highness think the portrait Cai Xiufeng gave you is precious?"

Chu Ziyan looked at Mingyue, a gleam of light flashed through his eyes, he took Li Mubai's letter back from Zhao Mingyue's hand, and folded it according to the original crease: "The painting is really ingenious, but it is a foreign thing after all, and Mingyue is Do you want me to give it to you?"

Mingyue stuffed his folded letter back into the envelope: "No, it's just that Mingyue always thinks that painting is unlucky."
