The gathering speed of Mingyoudu was very fast. In less than half a minute, more than fifty people gathered. Under the leadership of Commander Jiang Hanyun, they rushed out of Zhuque Hall in fresh clothes and horses.

At this moment, the commander of the Fire Crow, Lei Yun, was just about to go out. He looked at the group of people on the steps, his sword eyebrows slightly raised, and his eyes were stunned: "Where are we going with such a big fuss? Do you know what's going on

He asked his assistant, who was a woman in her twenties wearing silver armor. Her words also had a hint of doubt: "I don't know, the security is very tight over there now, treating all the people in Huoya as thieves. But I guess it's probably related to the General Mountain Blood Sacrifice Case. After being mocked by the Colonel, Jiang Hanyun is unlikely to be concerned about anything other than this matter

She looked at her boss with a hint of sarcasm and said, "Do you really care? Do you want to follow and take a look

That group of evil cultivators is almost about to be arrested. What are you going to see now? Are you being ridiculed by Jiang Hanyun in turn

Lei Yun chuckled and waved his sleeve freely, "I don't know about that woman Jiang Hanyun yet. It's all up to her fox to handle the case. If she can find any useful clues this time, I'll eat this stone lion in one bite

He specifically pointed to the stone lion next to him, which was tall enough for one or two people, with a resolute expression.

At this moment, an old man wearing a Taoist robe with pale and lifeless eyes suddenly appeared at the entrance of Zhuque Hall: "Eating the stone lion in one bite? This bold way of eating, I am also interested in seeing it. The key is still the stone

Lei Yun was momentarily stunned, then quickly bowed and bowed to the old man, saying, "My subordinate, please see the general manager

Get up, don't be polite! "The old man brushed his sleeve and asked," Are you confident in today's actions, Colonel Lei

There is an 80% to 90% chance that they will definitely not escape, "Lei Yun's expression was confident." The lowly people have been watching them for a few days, and today they will definitely be captured in one net

Then go ahead

The old man looked into the distance, with a hint of expectation in his eyebrows: "The General Mountain case must be resolved as soon as possible. Among the three major cases in Nanjing, one must be resolved first. Don't let me down, Fire Crow City

※※※※

Li Xuan followed the group from Mingyoudu for more than twenty miles and finally stopped in front of a small hill.

Dushan View

Li Xuan knew the name of this place without looking up the mountain. As a local of Nanjing, he is still very familiar with this city. Due to its unique scenery, Dushan Temple has gained the favor of influential scholars and officials in Nanjing city. As a child, Li Xuan had visited it twice with his elders.

Just as Ma successfully allocated manpower to block the inside and outside of this Taoist temple, Jiang Hanyun's gaze turned straight towards Li Xuan and he said, "Li Xuan, you can lead someone to come with me to the temple later

Behind Li Xuan, Peng Fulai and Zhang Yue couldn't help but glance at each other, both surprised by the female demon's attention to Li Xuan.

Following Jiang Hanyun into the Taoist temple, there were not only Li Xuan and his group, but also a total of six groups of twenty-four people, including the Demon Suppressing Captain Si Qianhui, who entered the temple in two directions.

But after entering, everyone's expression was ashen.

Are they all dead

Peng Fu looked at the corpses on the ground in front of the Sanqing Hall and couldn't help but turn pale. "Which faction is the one sacrificing blood on General Mountain? This is too ruthless

In front of him, a total of twenty-five Taoist priests, sitting or lying down in various postures, died on the cushion.

Li Xuan didn't say a word. His eyes were as dark as water as they came to a corpse. He first felt his pulse, then looked at the person's pupils, and then a hint of confusion appeared in his eyes.

He began to carefully observe step by step from the deceased's hair.

Li Xuan's inspection is only halfway through. A young man dressed in a wandering costume in the distance has already stood up from the pile of corpses: "Colonel, the deceased did not have any external injuries, but had cyanosis in their mouth and nose. They should have died of poisoning. Judging from the body spots, the time of death was around three to four hours, or even longer. The only thing I am not sure about is whether these deceased committed suicide or were poisoned

The atmosphere in front of the Sanqing Hall suddenly cooled down, and everyone's breathing gradually became heavy.

Jiang Hanyun's aura became particularly chilly, and the color in her eyes changed unpredictably.

What's going on? "Zhang Yue looked around in confusion." Why do I feel like the atmosphere has suddenly changed

Shut up

Peng Fulai whispered a sentence, and his expression became unusually serious: "Just watch from the side

At this moment, what concerns everyone is no longer the extermination case that occurred at Dushan Temple, but the time of their deaths.

Since it is within three to four hours, it indicates that there may be a traitor present in their Mingyoudu.

Are you sure it's within four hours? "Jiang Hanyun looked at the spirit master with the official position of Youzheng and said," Has the spell been tested

Verified! "The spirit's expression was determined." In addition, I have also used soul summoning techniques, and can only collect some soul fragments

At this moment, Ma Chenggong also walked over and said, "Colonel, no bodies have been found anywhere else. Everyone in Dushan Temple is concentrated here. Our people are still searching to see if we can find any clues. But I don't think there is much hope. I have looked everywhere, and every room is cleaned up very well. Almost all cabinets have traces of being turned over

His expression was very depressed, and the clue he had finally discovered had now been cut off again.

Jiang Hanyun gritted her teeth tightly and remained silent. Her gaze quickly focused on Li Xuan.

Looking at Li Xuan's focused and meticulous appearance, Jiang Hanyun's eyes couldn't help but shine with a hint of anticipation: "Li Xuan, did you see anything from the corpse

I'm not sure yet, "Li Xuan hesitated," I don't know exactly how long the deceased died, but definitely not three to four hours ago. Currently, I predict it to be within half an hour, or even not long ago

How is that possible

The Lingwu with the official position of Youzheng couldn't help but laugh and say, "How did you learn the method of autopsy? Did Liu Sanjie teach you

In the eyes of Ma Chenggong and others, there was also a hint of suspicion.

This tourist's name is Xu Gushan, and he is currently the most useful spirit weapon in Mingyoudu.

Xu Gushan paced up to Li Xuan's side and looked down at the body below, saying, "Judging from the body spots of the deceased, the time of death was clearly about four hours. When I pressed the body spots, they only faded slightly. After flipping the body over, the body spots did not disappear quickly, nor did any new ones form. I just cast a spell, and their blood is no longer fresh, so I believe this body is no exception. In addition, the temperature of the body is also similar to that of the outside world

Mr. Xu, common sense is indeed true, but there are many aspects of this corpse that are not correct

Li Xuan shook his head. He knew that these were indeed the characteristics of body spots eight hours after death, but he had not noticed them during the examination just now.

The phenomenon of corpse spots can be divided into two stages in the early stage: deposition and diffusion.

After death, blood falls into the blood vessels in the lower part of the body, leading to the appearance of body spots. At this point, if you press the corpse spot with your fingers, the blood in the capillaries of the pressed area will flow towards the surrounding area, and the corpse spot will temporarily disappear; If the position of the corpse is moved again, the original corpse spots gradually become less obvious or even disappear, and new corpse spots reappear in the new lower part of the corpse. This is the accumulation period, which is usually the body spot state within 2-4 hours after a person's death.

The diffusion period refers to the state of body spots 8 to 10 hours after death, during which the blood of the person spreads outside the blood vessels. Whether by pressing with fingers or flipping positions, the original body spots are not easily disappeared, which is in line with the characteristics of this corpse.

The problem is that the color of this corpse spot is not correct, it has a bright color, "Li Xuan said while pointing to the back of the corpse." The normal color is purple red

This is actually due to insufficient dissociation of oxygenated hemoglobin——

Corpse stiffness did occur, but the deceased's facial muscles, jaw, toe joints, and so on did not show any stiffness or contraction, or were very mild

Corpse stiffness usually begins to appear 10 minutes to 7 hours after death. Half of its development sequence is descending and ascending, with the former starting from the masseter and neck muscles, followed by the facial thigh, and then the trunk and upper and lower limbs; The latter starts from the lower limbs and gradually develops upwards.

The temperature of the corpses is actually abnormal. If you carefully identify them, you will find that the body temperature of these deceased people is actually lower than the outside world. The pupils have not fully dilated, and there is a blue luster at the bottom, suspected to be influenced by some toxin. There is also no swelling in the abdomen

Generally, within 4-5 hours after death in summer, the abdomen of a person will experience putrefactive swelling.
