Ning Shu couldn't figure out the longevity lock for the time being, so she took out a handkerchief and wrapped it up. She was going to take it back and study it carefully. On the other side, Hui Mo finished examining the front side of the corpse. With the help of Ning Shu, he carefully turned the corpse sideways and continued to stab with the silver needle. It didn't take long for him to find a rotten part of the heart. The silver needle immediately turned black as soon as it pierced into the heart.
Hui Mo's face became serious. He hurriedly changed a knife and carefully cut out a small piece of rotten flesh from one of the places. After half an hour, he found the result: "She was indeed killed by the poison of the ghost head bee. The place where the ghost head bee stung her was the back of her heart."
The wound caused by the ghost head bee was very small. It was almost the size of a needle. If there was only one wound, it was reasonable that the Imperial Hospital couldn't find it at that time. However, Hui Mo and Ning Shu found no less than eight rotten places on the back of Wen Cairen's body. Even a blind person could feel that there was something wrong with her death. The Imperial Hospital could lie through their teeth and say that she was killed by the epidemic. They were simply shameless.
Ning Shu and Hui Mo didn't say anything for a while. They just silently turned her body over and carefully flipped it back.
Soaked in tulip juice, the corpse was very slippery, coupled with the rotten flesh, Hui Mo was not careful and did not hold the corpse firmly, causing it to fall. He hurriedly apologized in a low voice, only to find that when the corpse was shaking, a round thing suddenly rolled out of its mouth and rolled to the edge of the coffin.
Ning Shu reached out her hand to take it, but Hui Mo stopped her: "Let me."
Hui Mo pinched the black bead between his fingers and frowned: "This is …"
After a long while, he dared to show an astonished expression and said in unison with Ning Shu: "Soul Calming Bead?!"
They checked the poison and took the longevity lock. Originally, they didn't intend to destroy the corpse. They didn't expect to find this thing by accident. This kind of Soul Suppressing Orb was usually used on the three types of deceased people to prevent them from coming back to life. The first type was soldiers who had killed people on the battlefield. The more people they killed, the heavier the bloodthirsty aura on them, and the easier it was for them to come back and cause chaos in the human world. The second type was people who were full of resentment before they died. Their eyes could not close before they died, indicating that they would definitely come back for revenge. The third type was pregnant women who died. Before the babies in their wombs could come to the human world, they were forced to go back to hell. Their resentment was very strong, and it was very easy for them to riot.
Wen Cairen obviously did not belong to the first category. As for the second possibility, according to Xiao Zhangping's own words, before Wen Cairen died, he persuaded her not to investigate the cause of her death. He only wanted Xiao Zhangping to live on peacefully and peacefully. Therefore, the resentment theory didn't hold water. If that was the case, it could only mean …
"I'll have to trouble you to help me check if she …" Ning Shu turned her face away and took a deep breath. This was the first time she felt that it was so difficult to ask a question. "Was she pregnant before she died?"
Hui Mo's lips trembled slightly. He clenched the knife in his hand. After a while, he nodded solemnly and stretched out the silver knife to the lower abdomen of the corpse.
Then, he broke out in a cold sweat and couldn't bear to look at it.
He had cut open the head of an imperial censor who died by suicide. He had also cut open the body of a woman who committed suicide by jumping into the river. Not to mention the piles of people who died of starvation, illness, old age, and poison … Hui Mo was very confident in himself before. He thought that there was nothing in the world that he couldn't check. But now, he couldn't help but tremble when he saw the small bones carefully picked out from the rotten belly of Wen Cairen.
What was this?
This was the skeleton of an infant that had yet to take shape, and even more so, it was a young creature that had almost come to the human world! However, there was someone who forcefully blocked his path to the human world, and he didn't even have the chance to cry out in grievance.
Hui Mo's eyes were red and swollen. He clenched his teeth tightly. A pair of hands raised and reached over to cover his eyes. It was Ning Shu: "Don't look. You go out first."
Hui Mo thanked her gratefully. He wiped his tears and jumped out of the grave pit. He squatted not far away and silently calmed down.
In the grave pit, in front of the coffin, Ning Shu's slender figure stood straight. Her eyes quietly fell on the small bones that were smaller than toothpicks. It seemed that it was only three or four months old. It was just a lump of flesh and blood that had just turned into a human shape.
"So far, the outline of the cause of Wen Cairen's death can be roughly described." After restoring Wen Cairen's body as much as possible, they closed the coffin and covered the grave. Ning Shu and Hui Mo went back to Nanping Prince's Mansion without stopping with the clues they had collected after a whole night of work.
The moon was dim and the sky was about to be bright. The lights in Nanping Prince's Mansion were still lit. It seemed that they had been waiting for her all night.
