"Very good, you can go back first. I have a few things I need to tell Cai Ling."
Gong Si nodded with satisfaction and blasted her out mercilessly.
Tsk, what is this
Because of Cai Ling's arrival, the Gong family was particularly lively today.
But he didn't expect that Lian Xing would send someone away just as Gong Wu finished helping to move things at night.
I don't know what happened, but it seems that the person is so anxious that it must be something difficult.
Just after nightfall, her baby was delivered by Gong Si.
This boy is different from his father. He is very cute and very cute.
Even though the fourth brother was cruel to his father, he was very caring towards his children.
"We haven't seen each other for just one day, why do I feel that our Ning'er has gained some weight?"
After weighing the child in his arms, Gong Si said with a smile.
Now Ning'er has regained her previous fair and plump appearance, with exquisite pink and cute facial features. His personality is very similar to Lin Mengya's. He always smiles when he sees everyone, which offends Bai Su and Jun'er and hurts them to their bones.
"As a child, you are always the same every day. Who sent you back today?"
The only drawback is that the child doesn't like to talk.
But even if he did, he only said some very simple words.
Lin Mengya had checked his vocal cords before, and there were no problems at all.
It seems that the reason is not the child's health.
When she thought of everything the baby had suffered before, she had the urge to kill.
But more importantly, it is self-blame for not being able to protect her baby.
"Forget it, how irresponsible do you think that person is? It's only been a few days, and he won't send Ning'er back in person. Hmm, if you ask me, I'd better take the child over. It's not like our family can't afford it."
He was fine just now, but when he mentioned the child's father, Gong Si became furious.
Fortunately, Lin Mengya has not disclosed the status of the child's biological father, and although Ning'er looks more like Long Tianyu, she is still a snow dumpling and cannot be distinguished.
It's really unimaginable what the fourth brother's expression will be like if the baby looks like his father in the future.
"There must be something delayed. Come here, baby, Mom will give you a bath."
She carried the baby to the inner room, and Gong Si also consciously exited the room.
After both mother and son rolled into bed, they heard the sound of water coming from behind the screen.
"You wait here for mother, and I'll go see what's wrong with your father."
No one but him could enter her house without her noticing.
What's more, with the blessing of Xiaoyao, she is even more alert than before.
After stuffing the baby into the quilt and letting him crawl around, Lin Mengya turned around and went behind the screen.
Sure enough, it was her man taking a shower.
"You didn't tell me in advance. The water is already cold. I'll ask someone to boil a bucket of hot water for you."
"It doesn't matter, you stay away first, I'm afraid it won't be good for you and Ning'er."
Lin Mengya noticed a bit of rancid smell coming from him.
Thinking about it, this person came home first and changed his clothes.
"This powder can disinfect and remove the meaning."
She turned around and brought a bottle, and then asked Bai Su to bring in a bucket of hot water.
After waiting on the bed for a long time, Long Tianyu came out from behind the screen with his long wet hair.
The man was wearing a robe casually, and there were still water marks on his muscular chest.
Lin Mengya only glanced at it, and her face turned red involuntarily.
I couldn't help but curse in my heart, why am I so worthless? I've seen this so many times before, why now, I still don't have any concentration at all
While reciting the Heart-Cleaning Mantra, he averted his eyes and took out a clean cloth to wipe his hair.
But she didn't expect that the guy who caused the crime actually hugged her waist!
Oh my god! If you can't help it, why don't you blame her
"Do I still have the smell of corpse on my body?"
There was a hint of exhaustion in his tone.
Lin Mengya sniffed it carefully, but fortunately, it was all washed away by her medicinal powder.
Over there, Ning'er also widened her eyes curiously and looked at his parents.
"Close your eyes and don't look at your mother, she is mine!"
Long Tianyu said domineeringly, and Lin Mengya couldn't help but push him angrily, telling him not to talk nonsense in front of the child.
Unexpectedly, whether the baby was too sleepy or he listened too much to his father, the baby actually closed his eyes after saying this.
"What kind of ecstasy did you give Ning'er?"
Lin Mengya asked curiously, but Long Tianyu's mood improved a lot, and he fell on the bed holding her.
"Ning'er may have to stay with you temporarily these days."
"Well, I can't ask for that. But what are you busy with? Why do you make your whole body smell rancid?"
In the past, although Long Tianyu was a casual person, but in the royal family, he usually paid great attention to appearance.
Even now that he has become Murong Xi, his old habits have not changed much.
"Do you still remember those children from aristocratic families who died inexplicably on the winter solstice?"
Of course she remembered, and if she hadn't been so clever, she might have become one of them.
"Although we found the bodies of these people at that time, because too many people died that day, and their families would definitely claim them back afterwards, we temporarily placed them in a snowfield outside the city. These days Day after day, people came to claim them one after another. But what I didn’t expect was that many bodies were missing.”
Lin Mengya was a little surprised. There were indeed many corpses on the winter solstice.
It is also feared that the body will rot if it is placed in a snow resort.
But, who would want this thing
"Then why Lian Xing invited my fifth brother out today, right?"
"Well, the Imperial Guard should have been responsible for this matter. Presumably Lian Xing also wanted to help his brother."
Streak's health has improved a lot and he should be back to normal soon.
"Has this kind of thing happened before?"
Long Tianyu hesitated for a moment before answering her question.
"Actually, theft of corpses is not uncommon in Weiguo. Unfortunately, there has been no conclusion for so many years."
"Why?"
Lin Mengya found it even more strange. Although this kind of thing happens from time to time in modern times, it is all driven by profit.
As far as she knew, Weiguo didn't seem to have any strange customs, and they probably had something to do with corpses.
"I'm not very sure, because after that, stolen bodies were rarely recovered, so there's no definite answer to this matter now. Although every household will guard it, this kind of thing, It still happens from time to time. I don’t know where the bodies are transported.”
Long Tianyu's words made Lin Mengya think a lot.
"What do the missing families have in common?"
"Most of the corpses were stolen when they were intact. I also heard that in some places, the corpses were lost the day before the funeral before they were buried.",
Actually, there is such a thing
But Lin Mengya was even more surprised that a guy who didn't even remember his wife and children knew so much about this matter.
"Because... I am actually responsible for thoroughly investigating this matter."
Long Tianyu said a little embarrassedly. After speaking, he even kissed his wife's hair flatteringly.
"Is this the emperor's decree?"
"No." Long Tianyu shook his head and said, "It's my master, the current Holy Master."
"The temple actually wants to investigate this matter?"
Unexpectedly, Long Tianyu shook his head again.
"It has nothing to do with the temple. My master asked me to help in private. And he also told me not to let other people in the temple know."
This is strange.
There is no use even reporting it to the official about a missing body.
After all, the dead are no better than the living. If others deliberately hide it, they will not be able to find it.
But what makes her even more incredible is why such a thing would happen to Weiguo.
"Besides these, do you know what else they have in common?"
After hesitating for a moment, Long Tianyu shook his head.
Lin Mengya could tell that he was unsure, so he couldn't say anything.
"It's okay, just tell me what you have and maybe I can help you."
"I discovered this a month ago. However, I didn't even tell my master."
"What do you think."
Long Tianyu hesitated for a while, and then spoke in a low voice after a long time.
"I have checked many case files. The frequent theft of corpses started more than 40 years ago. It was not until more than 20 years ago that the number gradually decreased. Unexpectedly, in the past few years, the number of corpses stolen has gradually decreased. It actually got up again. I thought there must be some reason, but unfortunately, I could never find out."
This time is a bit strange.
But Lin Mengya couldn't explain why. This question stumped both of them.
"Weiguo is so big that we can't count the number of missing corpses. But I think if you want to find out the answer, you can first investigate what these stolen corpses have in common. Except that the corpse has not been damaged. In addition, I think it is related to other things. Moreover, we can start with the recently lost corpses. Although they do not represent the number of lost bodies in the entire Wei Kingdom, they are just right and can be used as a sample."
This kind of thing is difficult not only because of the vast territory, but also because of the large number.
And since bodies are all lost, this time, if it has anything to do with the previous one, is the best entry point.
"You mean, let me focus on investigating the situation of these people, right?"
Lin Mengya nodded and continued.
"If you think about it, the strange deaths of these corpses indicate that they were premeditated. Maybe what happened on the winter solstice was actually to cover up this incident."
"But didn't Huang Zun say that this was a lesson the temple taught them?"
"So, this is the most suspicious thing!"
Lin Mengya lay in his arms and said seriously.
