Beside Mo Shili, Yang Yu held a long sword in his arms.
Looking at Mo Shili who was determined, his eyes were full of doubts.
The taciturn swordsman wondered where Mo Shili got his confidence.
But this made Mo Shili certain: Yang Yu was right to follow him, but he was still far away from him!
Otherwise, it would have been impossible not to see that the corpse in the coffin was that of a man.
After confirming that the corpse in the coffin was that of a man, it was impossible for Yang Yu to reveal his doubts at the moment.
Because a strange male corpse appeared in the coffin that was supposed to contain the body of Li She's wife. There are only three possibilities -
First, Li She’s wife was not dead. Li She and his wife committed murder and disposed of the body in the name of “living children and grandchildren.”
Second, Li She's wife died, but someone took the opportunity to secretly replace the body while Li She was gambling.
Third, Li She's wife died, but this death was premeditated. Starting from the death of Li She's son, the other party used Li Zhi's age to make a fuss and used the local rumored "live children and grandchildren" plan.
Just kill the man in the coffin.
Regardless of the first point, the second point, or the third point, they all have one thing in common: to conceal the identity of the corpse.
To put it simply, the deceased must have been well-known in Chang'an County and could be easily recognized, and his disappearance would inevitably trigger a large-scale search.
Otherwise, the murderer wouldn't have bothered so much!
Just throw it away in the wilderness at will!
Among the three situations, if the first situation occurs, it means that Li She and his wife committed murder!
The matter of 'live and have a long life' is self-defeating!
But tiger poison does not eat its children, and according to Li Zhi, Li She's wife is usually very filial, so Mo Shili believes in the latter two possibilities!
That is -
Li She’s wife is really dead!
Then, someone changed the day!
The second and third possibilities are both possible!
And there must be a close relationship between the murderer and the deceased!
It's the kind of thing that if something happens to the deceased, the murderer will be easily suspected and exposed!
That’s why I chose this method of ‘stealing a beam and replacing it with a pillar’.
However, the second and third types are fundamentally different.
The second type can be said to be just a pure coincidence, it happened by chance.
But if it’s the third type…
Mo Shili narrowed his eyes slightly.
The other party's courage is so great!
Not to mention the previous plan, just exchanging the body for another day and then leaving without any care can really be called audacious!
If it were anyone else, they would definitely stay nearby until the coffin was buried, and they would feel at ease.
How would such a person deal with the body of Li She's wife?
"Normal people will most likely choose to 'throw far away and bury near'."
"If the other party is really someone who has been planning it for a long time..."
"How will the body of Li She's wife be disposed of?"
As Mo Shili thought about it, he could not help but think of ways to divide, cook, eat, or even make it into feed.
Then, he looked at Yang Yu.
The playfulness in his eyes made Yang Yu's fingers subconsciously tremble, and he almost grasped the hilt of the sword.
"Um?"
Yang Yu asked in the simplest way.
Mo Shili immediately informed Yang Yu that there was a male corpse in the coffin.
Immediately, Yang Yu frowned.
Mo Shili's words rang in his ears.
"You said that if you were the murderer, where would you hide the body of Li She's wife after you replaced the body in the coffin?"
"eat!"
Yang Yu said.
Mo Shili immediately gave a thumbs up sign.
Think about going with him.
Eating is indeed the simplest way.
Based on the technology tree of the dungeon world in front of us, as long as the flesh and blood are peeled off and the bones are crushed, there is a high probability that no one will be aware of it.
As for nausea?
If the other party really sets up such a trap, this kind of physiological reaction that ordinary people should have must be bearable.
In other words, the other party doesn't care at all!
And similarly, after setting up such a situation, there is naturally a follow-up plan, a plan that can make the whole thing end perfectly!
Mo Shili raised his eyes and looked at Yang Yu.
Coincidentally, Yang Yu also looked at Mo Shili.
"You go protect Li Zhi."
"I'm going to protect Li She."
Mo Shili said directly.
In order to complete the so-called "live descendants and longevity" rumors, the planners will definitely kill people to silence them.
The grandson and daughter-in-law who were closest to Li Zhi have been killed.
Then, the murderer's target will be Li She and Li Zhi themselves.
Killing Li She continued to confirm the rumor of "live descendants and longevity".
Killing Li Zhi would bring an end to everything.
Yang Yu did not act immediately. He took out a charcoal pen and was about to write, but was interrupted by Mo Shili.
"don’t worry."
"As long as we are fast enough, we will be fine."
"and……"
"I also have martial arts skills passed down from my family."
After saying that, Mo Shili turned around and left.
As if to prove that he has the power to protect himself, Mo Shili showed part of the [Gecko Wall Wandering Skill].
Immediately, the force exerted by [Gekko Wall Skill] made Mo Shili's legs full of strength, and his speed became very fast.
Seeing Mo Shili disappear, Yang Yu turned around and returned to the vicinity of the little soil bag.
The two of them did not discuss who should protect Li Zhi or Li She.
Because only Mo Shili has seen the corpse!
Mo Shili returned to Chang'an County, which could not only protect Li She but also find out the identity of the corpse.
Even, if everything goes well, you can follow the clues and find the murderer.
Restaurant, lobby.
The waiter looked at the man sitting there with a troubled expression.
The man has a lean build, a sallow complexion, and his brown cloth has turned white. He exudes a strong smell of sweat, mixed with some inexplicable smell, which makes people unable to help but cover their noses when they smell it.
"bet!"
"Come and bet with me!"
The man shouted at the waiter.
"Sir, please stop barking. The guests have all rested."
The waiter wanted to step forward to stop him, but he seemed to be afraid of something and did not dare to step forward at all.
"Why are you sleeping? Get up and gamble with me!"
The man's voice became louder.
The shopkeeper was woken up.
He walked down from the second floor with his clothes on.
"Li She, if you don't keep vigil in front of your wife's coffin, why did you come out?"
The shopkeeper lowered his voice and shouted.
"What?"
"Of course it's a bet!"
"My wife is dead, you can marry again!"
"But if I don't gamble for a day, I feel uncomfortable all over!"
Li She looked at the shopkeeper and stood up, making a gesture of going to grab the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper was so frightened that he backed away.
Nowadays, no one in the entire county knows that Li She and his family are the gods of plague.
If it's contaminated, it's definitely not going to be cured.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been kicked out by the gambling house people.
What's deplorable is that this guy couldn't afford to offend the gambling house people, so he actually came to his restaurant to cause trouble.
Thinking of this, the shopkeeper's face became even worse.
But Li She burst into laughter, and then started to behave stupidly again.
"Set me good wine and good food, otherwise don't blame grandpa for coming to your place every day and killing your whole restaurant."
Suddenly, the shopkeeper's expression changed drastically and he immediately called the waiter.
He was really afraid that Li She would do this.
Once he really does this, his restaurant will definitely become obscene.
Before the cook started working, the shopkeeper and the waiter on night duty cut some cooked meat in the kitchen and brought it out immediately.
"Where's the wine?"
"Give me wine!"
Li She shouted.
"Master, stop shouting and come right away!"
The waiter went to move the wine with a grimace.
The shopkeeper on the side was so angry that his teeth were itching, and he made a bastard gesture towards Li She, who had his back turned to him.
But the next moment, I was shocked.
Because, at some point, a person appeared next to me.
When he saw clearly that it was Mo Shili, he breathed a sigh of relief.
The shopkeeper was deeply impressed by Mo Shili who paid the bill with silver.
"Guest, did I disturb you?"
The shopkeeper quickly lowered his voice and asked.
"No, I'm just curious."
"What does it mean?"
As he said that, Mo Shili made that bastard gesture to the shopkeeper.
