Gan Yu, Do You Like Such a Mother?

Hearing the news of Kurosaki Mea's escape, Hu Tao's mood was mixed. She was happy because she knew that Kurosaki Mea was not dead, and worried because she was afraid that Kurosaki Mea might find a chance to attack Qilin.

"correct……"

Qi Lin suddenly had a puzzled expression on his face: "When you were poisoned last night, you said you had something to tell me... What is it?"

Only then did Hu Tao recall that she was poisoned last night and thought she was dying, so she wanted to tell Qi Lin the thoughts hidden deep in her heart without regret.

Who knew that he didn't die, and the unfinished sentence last night naturally became the dark history of Walnut.

"Yes...that's..." Hu Tao lowered her head, her face was as red as a peach, she stirred her two index fingers, and whispered: "I want to tell you, in fact, I..."

The little girl was full of shyness, but she couldn't say the words that were in her mouth no matter what.

At this moment, a slightly anxious voice suddenly came from outside the door, shouting: "Miss Hutao, please come here quickly. The General Affairs Department has sent a corpse. I hope you can check it."

When the three people in the room heard this, they all had slightly surprised expressions on their faces, but Hu Tao breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly said, "Let's go, let's go and have a look!"

Qi Lin and Zhong Li nodded, and followed Hu Tao out of the room, only to see a soldier in the uniform of the Qianyan Army standing at the door, holding a spear, and said with a serious expression: "Excuse me, Miss Hu Tao, please come Let me do it."

"Well, let's lead the way." It seems that this is not the first time Hu Tao has experienced this. Even though he heard that there was a "corpse", he still acted very calmly.

"Strange?" Qi Lin wondered as he walked, "Why is the corpse sent to the Hall of Rebirth?"

"You don't understand that, do you?" Hu Tao's face showed a rather smug expression: "You don't think that our Xiangsheng Hall is just an ordinary funeral home? It's a big mistake. In fact, because of the contact with a lot of corpses, the research on corpses in the Hall of Past and Death has also made great achievements, and I don’t know how much higher than those ordinary works.”

The so-called "offenders" are actually those who are responsible for examining the corpses of murder cases, somewhat similar to modern forensic doctors.

Of course, the knowledge of this kind of occupation generally relies on previous experience and has not been systematically studied, so the ability is limited.

But the hall of death is different. The hall masters of the past generations have left their own records and files on corpse research for future generations to learn. Therefore, almost every hall master of the hall of death is also an autopsy expert. cases, and often seek help from Xiangshengtang.

However, the old hall master is old after all, so in the past two years, most of the autopsy work has been carried out by Hu Tao.

Although it sounds somewhat cruel to let a seven-year-old girl go for an autopsy.

But for Hu Tao, the young master of the Hall of Rebirth, this is actually a very interesting thing. In Hu Tao's eyes, the corpse is not something scary.

Soon, several people came to the entrance of the hall.

"If you are afraid, stay at the door and wait," Hu Tao said cautiously, "After all, most of the corpses are not pretty, so you don't get into bad luck."

"Unlucky?" Qi Lin shrugged his shoulders and said, "Have you ever seen an auspicious beast that is afraid of bad luck? Even if I am in bad luck, it can become auspicious."

"Birth, old age, sickness and death, the natural cycle, even the gods will die, let alone human beings?" Zhong Li also looked very indifferent: "The so-called corpse is just a body, what is there to be afraid of?"

Seeing that Zhong Li and Qi Lin seemed indifferent, Hu Tao no longer refused.

As for the Qianyan Army who led the way, naturally there would be no objection. After all, that silver-haired boy was the famous "Heavenly Linzi". In the hearts of the soldiers of the Yan Army, a strange sense of awe was born spontaneously, and they did not dare to have the slightest thought of offense.

"Then I will trouble Miss Nutnut."

Qian Yanjun also respects this young master of the Hall of Rebirth. Even though she is young, she has excellent autopsy skills. In the past two years, she has assisted the General Affairs Department in solving many difficult cases. .

The three of them walked into the room and saw a corpse on the table in the room. The corpse was covered with a layer of white cloth, only one face was exposed, the long hair was loose, and the figure was petite. It should be a woman .

And a woman in a loose robe, a cloak, and a white bandage wrapped around her chest, is holding her chest with her hands, as if waiting for the walnut to arrive.

It was a woman who looked about 30 years old. She was not beautiful, but she was full of heroism. However, she had a few conspicuous scars on her face, and her long hair was tied into a long ponytail, hanging down to her waist.

She also had a samurai sword slung across her waist, and a green eye of the wind element god was inlaid on the handle of the knife.

It was none other than Yasuo, the current Yuheng star among the seven stars of Liyue.

"Aunt Yasuo?" Qi Lin had a surprised expression on his face: "Why are you here?"

You know, although this Yasuo is in a high position, she is different from other seven stars, she prefers to travel around, let alone Qi Lin, even Ning Guang, who is also Liyue Seven Stars, rarely sees her.

However, she was just a mortal after all, seven years had inevitably left some traces on this woman's body, but it did not make people feel that she was aging, but instead added a bit of mature charm.

"Hey, isn't this the kid from Gan Yu's family?" Yasuo immediately recognized Qi Lin, and smiled quite boldly: "There are many doubts in this case, so I will be responsible for it, but you, how could you?" it's here?

"This matter...it's a long story." Qi Lin scratched his cheek and smiled awkwardly: "Otherwise, let's get down to business first and see the condition of the corpse."

"Okay." Yasuo nodded, lifted the shroud, and a naked female corpse was directly displayed in front of several people.

It was a beautiful woman with a slender figure, she looked like she was only in her teens, her pale body was already a little stiff.

"The time of death was about ten hours ago." Hu Tao quickly gave some preliminary conclusions: "Master Yuheng, where was this corpse found?"

"The corpse appeared in an alley near Feiyunpo," Yasuo replied truthfully, "it was found by some children playing nearby. We suspected it should be a murder case, but we didn't find any evidence on the corpse. Scars, and there doesn't seem to be any signs of poisoning."

"Let's not talk about that first, there is an even more strange place on this corpse." Zhong Li narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he had discovered something, but still paused, and said, "Miss Hutao, you should have already seen it." Come out."

"Yeah, Sister Zhong Li is really amazing, did you even find out?" Hu Tao nodded, and said, "It seems that Grandpa chose you as guest secretary, which is really a correct decision."

"Hey, what kind of charades are you playing?" Yasuo showed a puzzled expression on his face: "Is there anything strange about this corpse?"

"This corpse seems to have been dead for only ten hours, but..." Hu Tao's fingers brushed across the left arm of the corpse, and said with a slight frown: "The stiffness of this arm seems to have been dead for twenty more than an hour."

"How is it possible?" Qi Lin had an incredible expression on his face: "Why is the death time of the arm different from the death time of the body? Could it be..."

"The reason is very simple," Hu Tao took a scalpel, and skillfully cut across the arm of the female corpse, only to see a few very small "silk threads" hidden where the skin and flesh were separated. If you don't observe carefully, It's hard to find out: "This arm doesn't belong to this woman at all!"

It turned out that this arm was actually sewn onto the corpse with thin thread, and the incision at the suture was smooth, with no flaws visible from the outside, no wonder it was difficult for these Qianyan soldiers to find it.

But for Hu Tao, who was used to seeing corpses, she could immediately spot something wrong just based on the stiffness of the corpses.

"The arm...is actually sewn on the corpse?" Yasuo showed a shocked expression on his face, and murmured, "Why did the murderer do such a crazy thing?"

"If this arm doesn't belong to this corpse..." Qi Lin also touched his chin, frowning and thinking: "That means there are other victims!"

As soon as this remark came out, Yasuo's face, which had always been calm, couldn't help showing a somewhat serious expression.She also observed carefully, and found that the arm was indeed stiffer, and there were some differences in skin color and shape.

Did the murderer kill other people, then cut off his arm and sew it on this corpse?After all, it is impossible to create an extra arm out of thin air to rest on this corpse.

Liyue Port was originally known for its good law and order. Not to mention homicides, even ordinary cases rarely occurred. Now not only murders have occurred, but more than one may have occurred. It is no wonder that as Liyue Yasuo of Seven Stars would attach such importance to it.Walnut checked for a long time, but unfortunately did not draw any further conclusions.

However, the discovery that "the arm and the body are not one" alone is important enough.

"It's been many years in Liyue Port, and there hasn't been such a bad case," Yasuo said with a serious expression on his face, "In short, thank you Miss Hutao for your help, otherwise, we might have to delay A lot of time, of course, I am also very grateful to Master Qi Lin and..."

Yasuo glanced at Zhong Li, and then realized that he didn't seem to know this person, but this woman had outstanding temperament and beautiful appearance. If she was a resident of Liyue, he would definitely know him.

"Zhong Li," Zhong Li introduced himself with a blank face: "Qingsheng Tang Keqing."

"Wangshengtang, it really is hidden dragons and crouching tigers." Yasuo nodded and said with a smile: "I will join hands with the General Affairs Department to investigate this case and find out the results as soon as possible. However, regarding the corpse, please keep it secret for now, so as not to cause unnecessary incidents." panic."

After all, Yasuo quickly called the soldiers of the Qianyan Army, took the corpse away, bid farewell to everyone, and left the Hall of Rebirth.

"Anyway, it's finally over for the time being." Qi Lin heaved a sigh of relief, smiled helplessly, and said, "I should go back to Jianglin Mansion too. going to be angry."

"Hmph, you only have your mother Gan Yu in your heart," Hu Tao made a face at Qi Lin, and said mockingly, "Could you still be a suckling brat?"

What Hu Tao said was naturally just a player, and children from ordinary families would be weaned at the age of two or three at most.

Of course, there are also people who are weaned later. Hu Tao once heard from her grandfather that there was a family named Yu in Liyue Port, and their children were still breastfeeding until they were in their 30s.

Who knows, Qi Lin smiled and said, "Yes, how did you know?"

"Huh?" Hearing that, Hu Tao couldn't help but blushed, and murmured, "You...you don't know, are you still drinking milk?"

Qi Lin didn't answer directly, but leaned close to Hu Tao's face, with a somewhat ambiguous smile on his face, and said, "To be honest, I really want to taste the taste of walnut milk."

Walnut milk is actually walnut milk, a flavor drink in Liyue area, but the meaning of "walnut milk" here is somewhat different.

Hu Tao hurriedly took two steps back, clutching her chest, and shyly said, "I...I don't have it!"

"Walnut is still young, how could it be possible?" Who knows, Zhong Li said seriously: "If you want to drink it, wait at least another ten years."

"Why do I have to give him a drink!" Hu Tao said a little frantically, "Sister Zhong Li, why do you even bully me?"

"Speaking of..." Zhong Li suddenly asked, "Is Gan Yu doing well all these years?"

Although Zhong Li turned into a mortal and lived in Liyue Port all the time, he had almost no contact with Jianglin Mansion. Except for the three-eyed and five-faced real person, in this Liyue Port China, Zhong Li's old friends were probably only It's raining.

But even though he passed by Gan Yu countless times, Zhong Li never said a word to Gan Yu.

"Why don't you go and see for yourself," Qi Lin suddenly took Zhong Li's hand and said with a smile, "If Mom Gan Yu can see you, she should be very happy too."

"But, you should also know," Zhong Li shook his head, and said lightly, "My identity is kept secret, even if it's Gan Yu, I can't reveal it."

"It doesn't matter," Qi Lin shook his head and said, "Even if Gan Yu's mother doesn't know your previous identity, you can still become friends with Gan Yu's mother as 'Zhong Li'."

"Friends?" Zhong Li nodded thoughtfully, and said, "Although I have met a lot of people in the past seven years, I have never made friends. Perhaps this is indeed a feasible path. "

"Then you guys go," Hu Tao nodded and said, "By the way, remember to say hello to Lord Gan Yu and Sister Thor for me."

Seeing that it was almost noon, Qi Lin and Zhong Lidang left the Hall of Rebirth.

Perhaps it was because it was almost time for dinner, there were not many pedestrians on Liyue Street, but Qi Lin and Zhong Li still attracted the attention of many passers-by.

It's not unusual for Qi Lin to appear in Liyue Harbor often, but the glamorous beauty beside him has never been seen before.

But I don't know why, in the face of such a beautiful woman, almost all passers-by dare not have any lewd and unclean thoughts.

I don't know if it's because of the aura of Emperor Yanwang or Zhong Li's own aura that makes people dare not harbor ill intentions at all.

"It smells so good..." Zhong Li suddenly stopped walking halfway. She squinted her eyes and sniffed lightly, but she turned her eyes and saw a dim sum shop next to the street. A table of pastries has just been baked, exuding heat, and one can smell a fragrance from a long distance away.

"It's Qixinzhai, a famous dim sum shop in Liyue Port. The pastry chef's surname is Xie. He makes good pastry," Qi Lin explained, "If Master likes it, I'll go buy some."

"No, I should buy it." Zhong Li shook his head and said, "As a guest, it's my first visit to Jianglin Mansion. If I don't bring some gifts, it's somewhat unreasonable."

"You don't need to be so polite..." Qi Lin scratched the back of his head, smiled helplessly, and said, "Mother Gan Yu won't care about such things."

"No, the basic etiquette must be followed." Zhong Li seemed to be very concerned about this kind of thing, and said in a firm tone, "I'm going to buy some pastries, you just stand here, don't walk around."

After all, before Qi Lin could speak, Zhong Li turned around and left, leaving only Qi Lin in place, thinking about what Zhong Li said just now...

Why does it feel a little bit wrong.

But having said that, Zhong Li... is she rich?

"Master, wait..." Qi Lin just wanted to catch up, but he saw a tall figure suddenly appearing in front of him, and he didn't stop, but directly bumped into the man's thigh.

Qi Lin stretched out his hand subconsciously, and hugged that thigh to prevent himself from falling, but he only felt that the hand felt smooth and tender, full of elasticity.

"Hey, bastard, have you touched enough?" A cold voice came from in front of Qi Lin, and he saw a tall foreign woman exuding cold air standing in front of him, frowning tightly. : "It's really not easy to see you once." The woman was wearing a gorgeous and exaggerated long dress and a mask covering one eye. "Miss".

"It turns out to be a lady." Qi Lin didn't panic. After all, this is the street in Liyuegang. No matter how courageous a lady is, she would not dare to do anything excessive to her son from heaven: "It's been a long time See, the dress I gave you last time, is it still comfortable for you to wear?"

"you!"

Thinking of the skirt with the note "I'm the biggest in the world" on the back of the skirt, the lady's snow-white cheeks suddenly flushed, and she said angrily: "Hmph, I won't mention this matter for now. Now, I came to you because I have something very important to talk to you about."

"With me?" Qi Lin shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Miss, let me guess, is it possible that fools want to have a good relationship with Jianglin Mansion, so they asked you to marry me? That's not possible, Although the lady is beautiful and has a good figure, but the age difference between us is too much after all, there will be no results."
