The corpse we found today seemed to be wearing the clothes that the official said. Mu Yexiao coughed twice and said, "Shu Yuanwai, please come with me."
The coroner had already placed the body on the dissection table and was about to perform the autopsy when he saw Mu Yexiao and Mr. Shu coming over. He hurried over and asked, "Sir, what are you doing?"
Mu Yexiao pointed at the female corpse and said, "Mr. Shu, look at this dress. Is this what you said?"
Mr. Shu was just looking at the clothes and didn't realize it was a corpse. When he got closer and saw the shriveled thing, he was shocked: "What is this?"
The coroner's mouth twitched: "If something can be placed here, it must be a body. I found it on the mountain in the south this morning. I..."
Mu Yexiao glared at the coroner. This coroner was so talkative. Couldn't he see that he was recognizing his relatives? When Mr. Shu heard about the corpse, he was completely dumbfounded.
He turned his head mechanically and looked at Mu Yexiao: "Sir, is this a corpse? I'll keep it. My daughter is missing. Why do you want me to look at the corpse? You mean, this is my daughter, right? It's impossible..."
Obviously, he couldn't accept that his daughter was dead. Mu Yexiao looked at Mr. Shu with some sympathy: "I want you to confirm whether this dress is hers, and the age you mentioned is also consistent."
Age? Mr. Shu's eyes widened and he kept waving his hands: "No, it's impossible, it's impossible, my daughter is so big and this one is so small, how is it possible!"
Qian Jiujiu reminded: "Because the blood in her body has been drained, even the bone marrow is gone, so her entire body has shrunk greatly. We can only rely on the things on her body to confirm her identity."
Mrs. Shu was dumbfounded. Looking at the clothes and then seeing a bracelet on the dry wrist, she fainted to the ground.
Qian Jiujiu quickly stepped forward, took out a silver needle, and gave Mrs. Shu a shot. Mrs. Shu woke up and said, "Sir, this is impossible. These are my daughter's clothes and bracelets. But she was fine yesterday. How come she became like this today?"
Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu looked at each other. Looking at the distressed couple, Mu Yexiao didn't know what to say to comfort them. He could only look at them and said, "Tell me, when did she disappear?"
Mrs. Shu looked very sad. "She said she would take people to the mountain to burn incense and said that the temple was very effective, but she never came back. We came to report to the police, and we saw the child's body."
Temple? Qian Jiujiu thought this might be a clue: "What kind of temple was it? Did she go alone? Did she bring a maid with her?"
Mrs. Shu nodded: "I took the maid with me. Speaking of which, the maid also disappeared. The temple seems to be in the deep mountains in the south. Qian'er also said that it is very effective, so I want to go there."
A temple deep in the mountains? What kind of place is that? Qian Jiujiu listened carefully to what the lady said, and then looked at Mu Yexiao. Mu Yexiao understood what Qian Jiujiu was going to do.
"Come on, let's go to that temple together, maybe we'll find something unexpected."
The coroner looked at these people and said this, then he determined the identity of the deceased. He looked at Qian Jiujiu and said, "Madam, can I still dissect this body? I have never seen anyone die in this way."
He really wanted to find out why someone died and ended up like this. When Mrs. Shu heard what the coroner said, she said, "You can't do an autopsy. My daughter died tragically enough. Why don't you let her rest in peace?"
The coroner was very upset: "Why do you say that? I just want to find out the cause of death so that your daughter can die in peace. You are so ungrateful."
Mr. Shu looked at the coroner and suddenly said, "Please do the autopsy. I also want to see how my daughter died."
The lady stared at her husband with eyes wide open. She wanted to say something, but her husband had already spoken, so she could only keep silent, feeling even sadder.
The coroner was very happy to hear the order from the official, and began to perform the autopsy. However, when he was about to cut open the body, he was unable to do so.
"Ma'am, what's going on?"
Qian Jiujiu looked at the coroner and said, "I told you, her whole body is shriveled. The water, blood, and all the fluids in her body are gone. Her skin is wrinkled and tightened, and it's very difficult to cut open."
The coroner's eyes widened, and he searched the body again: "It seems that there are no wounds on the body. Where did they suck out the blood and other things?"
The coroner suddenly stepped back and looked at Qian Jiujiu, "Madam, this couldn't be done by a human. Is it a ghost or a demon? You should take the body back and bury it quickly."
Qian Jiujiu was speechless about this coroner. He was the one who wanted to be studied, and now he was the one who quit: "Do you still want to be a coroner? Forget it, you are not qualified at all."
She had examined the body and knew what had happened, but she couldn't say it out loud. She looked at Mr. Shu and said, "You should take the body back. Remember to keep it a secret. This matter cannot be made public for the time being. The body is well hidden."
When Mr. Shu heard Qian Jiujiu's words, he thought there really was a monster or something like that, so he nodded quickly: "I understand."
The body was loaded into the coffin and taken back home for burial. Before burial, the body had to be burned first. Soon, everyone in Xianyou Town knew that Shu Qian'er, the most beautiful woman in Xianyou Town, had died.
Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu had already taken Liu Yifang and others to the temple in the mountains. The forest in the south is very large, and it is not easy to find a temple here.
But who is Qian Jiujiu? She is God's favorite. After arriving at the forest, she began to let the rabbit communicate with the animals in the mountains and find the temple in the deep forest.
After walking a long distance into the deep forest and finding nothing, Qian Jiujiu couldn't help but frown: "Are we being fooled? It doesn't look like there is a temple in this forest. And it's impossible to build a temple here."
Who says it's not true? Mu Yexiao was also thinking about this question, but it's not certain. After all, they have seen many underground palaces, and it is possible to build a temple in the mountains.
The rabbit also asked the animals on the mountain for a long time and got some clues. A snake spit out its letter and told the rabbit: "I don't know what the temple you are talking about is, but I know a strange place. Some people came there a few days ago and disappeared there."
After hearing this, the rabbit quickly told Qian Jiujiu. Qian Jiujiu became interested, so the rabbit asked the snake to help lead the way, and they came to the deep mountains. This was a real deep mountain, rarely visited by people.
The trees were so tall that you could hardly see the sun when you looked up. Soon the snake uttered, "This is it. They disappeared here. I have brought them to their destination. We have to leave first."
Here? There is no village in front and no shop behind. If someone disappears here, they either go to heaven or go to hell. Going to heaven is obviously impossible, so they must go to hell.
"Everyone, spread out and search here. Maybe you can find some clues."
A group of people began to disperse and search, and soon they heard a cry of surprise: "Sir, come and see, there really is a temple."
Is there really a temple? Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao followed the voice and walked over. They saw a magnificent temple floating on the lake in the distance. It looked magnificent and golden, and it didn't seem like a product of this world at all.
Mu Yexiao had never seen such a wonder before, and couldn't help but be curious: "Madam, do you know what this is?"
Qian Jiujiu was a little uncertain: "This is a bit like a wonder in our world, called a mirage. It means that you can see it, but you can never touch it. This scenery is not real."
If it is true, how could this world build such a magnificent castle? Yes, it is a castle, a modern 21st century castle, the kind that exists in fairy tale worlds.
Or maybe it was something from the other half’s world, and they hadn’t walked far enough. And it was normal for those people who had never seen a castle to mistake this thing for a temple.
After listening to Qian Jiujiu's words, Mu Yexiao fell into deep thought: "Are you saying that these are fake?"
Qian Jiujiu nodded: "Maybe there is such a place in this world, but it is definitely not here. Everything is an illusion. How could a lady from a noble family know about it in such a deep forest?"
Mu Yexiao was also thinking about this question, if the temple here is fake? Then where is the real one hidden
"How about going over to check it out? Maybe there will be unexpected gains!"
That's true. Since they were all here, Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao left some people behind to continue searching here, while they went to check out the mirage over there.
Just after reaching the lake, Qian Jiujiu discovered that the mirage had disappeared, the castle that he could see just now was gone, and only a statue was left by the lake.
This statue is also a bit strange: "Have you seen this statue? It looks like a Buddha statue, but it doesn't look like one."
Although I have seen a lot of things in space and know this world very well, I have never seen such a strange statue. I can only look at Mu Yexiao.
Mu Yexiao also shook his head: "I don't know either. What is this thing? Why don't you ask the rabbit?"
The rabbit immediately said, "I think I have an impression, but I can't remember it for the moment. Let me think about it. I think I forgot something."
After that, the rabbit actually fell silent. Qian Jiujiu had never seen a rabbit behave like this before, and couldn't help but feel a little worried: "Rabbit, what's wrong with you?"
