On the day of rebirth, I took my baby to find Jiuqiansui to recognize his relatives
Chapter 86 Yun Ji Killed Xiao Cui
Jiang Yanwan and Wu Junyao stood in the study, looking at Xiao Cui's already cold body, their hearts full of confusion and anxiety.
Although she is dead, her last words keep echoing in Jiang Yanwan's mind - "You will never...know...the truth..."
The next morning, Jiang Yanwan called the forensic doctor from the Imperial Hospital to perform a detailed autopsy on Xiao Cui's body.
The result shocked her: Xiao Cui died three days ago! This was obviously completely inconsistent with what they saw last night.
"How is this possible?" Jiang Yanwan looked at the medical examiner in shock. "Xiao Cui was clearly alive and well in front of us last night. How could she have been dead for three days?"
The medical examiner was also puzzled: "Indeed, the state of her body and the livor mortis indicate that she has been dead for three days."
Jiang Yanwan took a deep breath and decided to go to the princess in person to ask for more details.
Arriving at the eldest princess's chamber, she immediately informed her of the development of the situation.
The princess was also shocked after hearing this, but soon she seemed to remember something and said, "Xiao Cui did ask for leave to go home to visit her family three days ago. I remember it very clearly because her mother was seriously ill. So, this matter may be related to her family."
Upon learning this clue, Jiang Yanwan immediately decided to go to Xiao Cui's country home.
Wu Junyao was worried about her going alone and insisted on accompanying her.
A few hours later, they arrived at Xiao Cui's hometown, a quiet little village.
When they walked into Xiao Cui's home, they were greeted by the smell of stale herbs. The house was simply furnished, but kept quite clean and tidy.
The room was dark, and one could only vaguely see a lonely figure sitting on a low stool. It was Xiao Cui's mother, who was blind and could only tell who was coming by listening.
"Who?" The old woman's voice was hoarse and weak, sounding full of the vicissitudes of life.
Jiang Yanwan replied softly: "Grandma, it's me, Xiao Cui."
Wu Junyao was startled by Xiao Cui's deliberate imitation of her voice, but he quickly reacted and nodded in cooperation.
The old woman showed a relieved smile on her face, "Xiao Cui, you are finally back. I have been waiting for you for so long."
She stretched out her hands with slight trembling, as if trying to touch her daughter's face.
Jiang Yanwan's heart ached and she held her hand tightly, "Mom, don't worry, I'm back." She comforted her gently, while carefully helping the old woman back to lie down on the couch.
"Mom, have a good rest. I will stay here with you." Jiang Yanwan continued to coax the old woman to sleep until her breathing gradually stabilized, and then she quietly got up. Wu Junyao stood silently by the side and waited.
When the two walked into Xiao Cui's room, Jiang Yanwan immediately felt a strange atmosphere. The mess in the room was obvious, as if it had experienced a fierce fight.
The broken pieces of china on the table, the fallen chairs, and the scattered clothes all indicated an unknown conflict.
"Something must have happened here," Wu Junyao analyzed calmly, "but we don't know what it was yet."
Jiang Yanwan nodded and took out a small brocade bag from her waist, which contained a rare insect - an insect that could go back in time. She placed the insect on the ground and guided it into the state of reappearing the scene.
With a faint halo of light, the scene in the room began to replay.
The broken porcelain was pieced together again, the fallen chair stood up again, and time seemed to be reversed.
Finally, in the illusory picture, Jiang Yanwan saw the truth:
A woman in black clothes fought fiercely with Xiao Cui. Her movements were swift and fierce, and it was obvious that she had extraordinary kung fu. In the end, Xiao Cui was subdued by the opponent. After that, the woman whispered something and quickly left the room.
Jiang Yanwan stared at the woman's gauze-covered face, and a name flashed through her mind - Yun Ji. She was the leader of the Reborn Organization.
"It's her, Yun Ji." Jiang Yanwan murmured in a low voice, with a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.
"You know her? Then we must find out her purpose," Wu Junyao frowned, obviously realizing the seriousness of the matter. "Why did she attack Xiao Cui? And why did she create such a mystery?"
Just at this moment, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside.
Jiang Yanwan and Wu Junyao looked at each other and hid behind the door at the same time.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and then a young man walked in. He looked around with a wary look on his face.
He is a villager in the village and his name is Axiang.
"Grandma, grandma...what's wrong with you? I'm Axiang!" Axiang called in a low voice, looking anxious and worried.
Jiang Yanwan thought this person might know something, so she used a disguise insect, stepped forward quickly, and asked coldly: "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
Ah Xiang was startled by the sudden voice. In his panic, he was misled by the insect and thought she was Xiao Cui. He quickly said, "Xiao Cui! Great, you're okay... I thought something happened to you!"
Jiang Yanwan did not respond, but asked: "Why are you so worried about me? Do you know something?"
Ah Xiang was stunned for a moment, obviously feeling a little uncomfortable.
But under Jiang Yanwan's sharp gaze, he had to stammer out the truth: "I... I heard from the villagers that there are a few strangers who have been gathering information in the village recently, and they seem to be looking for someone. I was afraid that they would do something bad to you, so I hurried over to see you..."
Wu Junyao stepped forward and added calmly: "What do those strangers look like?"
Ah Xiang tried to recall: "One of the women was wearing black clothes. She was very beautiful, but her eyes were very cold."
"Yunji."
Ah Xiang was stunned, as if he had never heard of this name, but he continued: "There are a few other people, I'm not sure. But they appeared at the entrance of the village three days ago, and I haven't seen them since."
Jiang Yanwan thought for a moment and said to Ah Xiang, "You continue to pay attention to the movements of those people. We will find out the truth as soon as possible."
A Xiang nodded repeatedly and then left in a hurry.
"It seems that we need to find Yun Ji's hiding place," Wu Junyao said in a deep voice, "Her whereabouts must be related to the Rebirth Organization."
Jiang Yanwan nodded and said firmly: "We must act as soon as possible and can't let them do whatever they want."
Wu Junyao looked into Jiang Yanwan's eyes and nodded heavily, "Then shall we set off now?"
Jiang Yanwan thought for a moment and said, "Let's go back to the palace first and report the situation. We need more resources and manpower."
Wu Junyao smiled and said, "That's right. Let's go back together."
Jiang Yanwan looked around the room and after making sure that she had not missed any important clues, she said to Wu Junyao, "Let's go."
"Okay." Wu Junyao replied softly, and then the two of them left the mysterious little house together and embarked on an unknown journey again.
