C236 (1/2)

The first victim was Minister Wu of the Ministry of Rites. Due to the hot weather, his corpse had become highly corrupt and looked like a giant.

His face was swollen, his eyeballs protruded, and the tip of his tongue was protruding. It was difficult to discern his appearance when he was alive …

Su Li frowned, he moved closer, but he did not do it, he only watched.

There was a wound on the corpse's neck. The skin and flesh had turned outwards. Looking at the depth, it should be a cut on the carotid artery.

Then she moved on to the second coffin, which contained Meng Shaoqing, who still looked the same as when he was alive.

Su Li could not help but sigh. The world was fickle, seeing him more than a month ago he was still in high spirits, who would have thought that in such a short period of time, he would become an ice-cold corpse?

The cause of his death was different from Vice Minister Wu's.

He was strangled to death. Half of his tongue was hanging out of his mouth, and his eyes were wide open.

Su Li still did not move, because she could tell that the two bodies had been moved by someone inside and out. If she moved them again, the result could be that they were left behind by someone from the previous timeline.

She walked to the last coffin, where the Minister Sun laid, and died for three days.

The corpse was preserved intact, and its face was dark. There was a faint signs of corruption on it, and its expression was ferocious. It must have gone through a fierce struggle before it died.

”Master Minister, no one touched the corpse of the Minister Sun, right?” Su Li asked towards the outside of the morgue.

Liu Chongming spat out as he replied, ”No, no!”

After which, he continued vomiting.

Su Li shrugged his shoulders, and looked at Mo Lianjin who had a bad complexion, ”If you can't take it, you can go out and wait.”

Mo Lianjin's face darkened, ”You can take it, but why can't I?”

Ugh, if you want to force it, then do it.

Su Li did not speak anymore nonsense, and leaned slightly forward to look at Minister Sun's corpse.

Liu Chongming said that the reason he died was because he was poisoned, and because heavy soldiers were protecting him, the murderer did not kill him personally, as he had done the other two times, but poisoned him instead.

Su Li originally wanted to let the officials carry the corpses to the autopsy table, but those officials were still vomiting. If he let them in, they would definitely faint.

He decided to stay in the coffin and open up Minister Sun's abdominal cavity to observe the changes to his internal organs.

His intestines were all black and stuck together, so the other organs were still considered normal.

”Intestine Breaking Grass?” Su Li muttered, and cut open the respiratory tissue. As expected, they all had obvious symptoms of being poisoned by the Intestine Breaking Grass.

”Found something?” Mo Lianjin asked, after taking a few steps closer.

Su Li slightly nodded his head, ”Something like the Intestine Breaking Grass is already very long. If we rely on this clue, I'm afraid we won't be able to find anything.”

”Yes.”

Su Li sighed, and helped the Minister Sun sew the blade, then took off the gloves and walked out.

The official who just went to buy the soap horn came back. She looked at the items she bought and instructed, ”Once the smell is gone, you guys can go inside and light these things up. You can smell them and then cover the coffin properly.”

”Yes.”

Liu Chongming who was about to vomit on the ground walked over, ”Prince's Wife, the sky is about to turn dark, is this the end of the day?”

If he did not go back to rest, he would have to hang up before the murderer could come.

Su Li looked at the color of the sky, and realised it was not early, ”Alright, then let's leave it for today, we will make a trip to Minister Sun's home tomorrow.”

”Alright.”

Because it was not the time for the murderer to make a move, Mo Lianjin only sent a few people to guard Liu Chongming's place.

When the two of them returned to the Fifth Prince's Mansion, the two servant girls, Lv Liu, immediately ran forward to hug Su Li.

Su Li indicated for them to stop, and said, ”Don't be in such a hurry to carry me, go prepare a bath for me, I've just touched the corpse.”

The two maidservants froze. They wanted to move forward, but they were afraid of the smell.
