"Ten days later, the Golden Buddha will come to the capital. If you haven't solved the case by then, you can only use your blood as the first gift to welcome the Golden Buddha!"
After saying this, the Empress went back to the palace under the escort of the palace maids and bodyguards.
The thousands of Dragon City Guards who had received the order to disperse the crowd. Everyone was ordered not to talk nonsense, but if a drop of cold water was poured into a pot of oil, how could such a big movement be covered up? The news would be spread all over the capital tonight.
"You are so unlucky."
Hui Mo looked at her with a pitiful gaze. "You have the reputation of being a jinx to the nine clans. Now that such a thing has happened at Phoenix Stage, there is no one in the entire capital who is more suitable to take the blame than you."
Ning Shu touched her knee which was painful because of kneeling and didn't say anything.
"You took the blame yourself. Tsk, tsk, tsk. You're so lucky." Hui Mo crossed his arms and continued to mutter. He had been used to women's clothes these days. He had become immune to the two lumps on his chest. Sometimes he deliberately squeezed them more.
Ning Shu's mouth twitched. She squinted at him, "Do you want to have dinner first?"
"Why?"
"Because you are going to do the autopsy later."
Hui Mo blinked and asked curiously, "How do you know?"
"Empress Zhou burned herself to death. In order to create the perfect scene of Empress Zhou's resurrection, there must be the same dead body." Ning Shu shrugged and said, "By the way, I remember there is a delicious meat pie nearby. You can get two if you buy it now. It will be sold out later."
Hui Mo thought for a moment and felt that what she said was very reasonable. He quickly went to buy some meat pies and wrapped them in oil paper. When he was about to put them into his mouth, he heard the bodyguards who had been searching shouted, "There is a dead body here! Is it little Empress Zhou?! "
"…" Hui Mo opened his mouth and paused.
Ning Shu smiled and took the meat pies from his arms. She said, "Young hero, let's go."
The sky was already dark. Yongchengwei had lit up lanterns all over the place. The corpse was found at the highest point of Zhai Xing Lou, which was beside Phoenix Terrace. Compared to Phoenix Terrace, which had been completely burned into ruins, Zhai Xing Lou wasn't too badly damaged. However, the doors and windows had long rotted away, leaving the place empty and leaking air everywhere.
As soon as Hui Mo went upstairs, he stepped on the puddle beside the threshold. He quickly jumped over: "Why is the puddle so serious?"
The guard who found the corpse said, "Perhaps it was the rain that came in this afternoon. Lady Ning, the body is over there. "
Actually, Ning Shu had already discovered it without him saying anything.
A charred corpse was hanging in the middle of this floor. A blood-red ribbon was wrapped around the corpse's neck, and the other end of the corpse was hanging from the ceiling beam. The light from the lanterns shone on it, casting eerie shadows on the walls. The corpse was neatly dressed in the pearl phoenix robe that was rumored to be worth tens of thousands of gold.
Hui Mo said, "Wow, it's so expensive."
Then he shook his head and said, "Ah, it's too tragic."
Then he began to take off his clothes.
Ning Shu held her forehead and hurriedly sent the guards away. She leaned closer and whispered, "Don't forget that you are a girl now."
Hui Mo said without hesitation: "What are you afraid of? I have several layers inside." Then he pulled out a few hairpins from his hair and took out a very sharp knife. Then he used the knife to cut open the interlayer of his clothes and took out a set of dissecting tools.
He tore the clothes and quickly made a cloth to cover his mouth and nose. Then he dug in his chest and took out a few balls of raw garlic.
Ning Shu was shocked: "You …"
