How could she remember that the princes in novels were all cold and aloof, that they did not allow strangers to approach them, and that they treasured their words like gold?
But this... It couldn't be pirated!
Ji Yunshu was already at a loss for words after hearing his repeated narration. She could only admit defeat.
"Since my legs are short, I have come too late. I seek your forgiveness, Prince."
"This King likes people who acknowledge their mistakes, but remember, there won't be a next time. This King doesn't like waiting for others."
The raised eyebrows were really eye-catching.
Ji Yunshu didn't continue arguing and went back to the main topic at hand. "Then let's not waste time. I'll just take a look at the corpses first."
"It's over there."
Jing Rong used his lower jaw to point at the five corpses that were covered in white cloth.
Ji Yunshu glanced at it, then looked at Jing Rong and said, "Prince, please open your mouth."
"What?"
"Open your mouth."
"Why?"
Rory!
Ji Yunshu stretched out her slender fingers and stood on her tiptoes to pinch his cheeks. Then, she took something from her waist and stuffed it into his mouth. Then, she let go.
His movements were completed in one go. It could be said to be perfect!
Jing Rong's mouth was suddenly stuffed with something. He was stupefied. Only when he felt a numbing and burning sensation on his tongue did he realize it.
"You … What did you give This King? " He was extremely nervous.
Could it be poison?
After all, this scholar could do anything.
However, Ji Yunshu glanced at him and said, "Don't be nervous, it's just Ginger."
"Ginger?" Do you think This King has never eaten ginger before? "How could Jiang Chen be numb?"
"The ginger is covered in sesame oil." While speaking, she had already walked towards the five corpses, and said in a neither light nor heavy tone: "Didn't you say that I couldn't smell the corpse's odor? Ginger with sesame oil will make you feel better. Or, Your Highness, you can go out. "
"Do you view This King as a coward?"
"I would not dare."
She had already removed the white cloth from the corpse. She glanced at Jing Rong with a playful expression at the corner of her mouth.
"The smell of these corpses rotting is even worse than that of Miss Zhou's, and they also have the smell of blood, burnt flesh, and cooked meat, just like... Prince has just eaten the soy sauce and fragrant meat balls. "
Jing Rong immediately felt his stomach churn as a disgusting feeling extended from his abdomen to his throat, causing his entire face to change.
He was certain that this scholar was doing it on purpose!
"You … How do you know that This King has eaten soy sauce and fragrant meat balls? "
Ji Yunshu lifted her eyelids. "Only the spicy meatballs of Guangfu Restaurant would be roasted on charcoal for an hour before the meat tendons would be soft and not loose, then boiled together with the White Bone Soup. With the addition of the herbs and the fragrance, the soup would be fresh and not greasy, and the color would tend to be red. If touched on top quality brocade, not only will the sauce not disperse, it would even become a thin layer of thickness, just like the one on the Prince's collar."
"Huh?"
Jing Rong subconsciously lowered his head to look at his collar while enduring the nausea. He touched it with his hand and sure enough, the sauce was still thick.
"Are you the cook?"
"No."
"Then you know so much?"
"I heard it from the beggar at the intersection." She answered without a care.
Are you kidding me? How could he be a beggar when he could eat the sweet and sour meat of Grand Fu?
Jing Rong felt that his brain capacity had gone bad. After meeting Ji Yunshu, his entire body needed to be shut down and restarted.
That may not be good!
But it was true. Ji Yunshu had really heard it from the beggars by the roadside.
It was probably because of the crash that Jing Rong suddenly said: "Then when you find out the case for This King, This King will take you to eat."
Suddenly, a cold wind blew in from outside the door, causing the lid of coffin to sway unsteadily.
Ah, hey, you two, this is Morgue, and there are corpses around us or memorial tablets lit up. You guys are talking about fragrant meat balls so late at night, do you think you're worthy of being a hungry ghost?
"Then I'll thank you first."
Ji Yunshu replied and pulled the white cloth away completely. The charred flesh of the corpse had already shrunk from the swelling. It was tightly stuck to the bone, exposing its obvious skeleton.
There was also a pool of blood around him. Upon closer inspection, it was flowing out from the corpse.
The most horrifying part was the abdomen of the deceased. Because of coroner's examination, the abdomen was cut open and the corpse was split open. The corpse was sewn with coarse fishing line. However, it was sewn too rough and half of the small intestine was exposed.
Jing Rong walked to her side and pinched his nose. As expected, he couldn't smell the corpse, so he asked in a serious tone: "How, can you find out?"
"Difficult."
"What do you mean?"
Ji Yunshu hesitated before answering, "If Your Highness wants to know who the murderer is, then this little one is powerless. This little one can only judge the cause of death based on the symptoms of the body, and what are the characteristics of the person who killed him."
Jing Rong frowned.
She continued, "First, the five corpses had an intense impact on others, and then they were poisoned to death. One could imagine that the murderer wanted to kill them, and if my guess was correct, the final goal should be to get to the king."
Jing Rong wasn't surprised, he already knew what was going on. His eyes narrowed into a line and his cunning mind made it hard for others to guess.
Seeing him like this, Ji Yunshu also understood.
"It seems that the prince already knows who the murderer is, so why did he need me to examine the corpse?"
"This King doesn't know." He answered with certainty, "I just vaguely feel that someone is deliberately preventing this king from returning to the capital. But who is it? This King will not know. "
Jing Rong, who was so serious, pondered silently. His handsome face was polished to the point that it gave off the stability of a man's bones, like a carved piece of fine jade.
It actually made Ji Yunshu unable to look away for a while!
Until Jing Rong caught that gaze, he rolled his eyes: "Is there something dirty on This King's face?"
Ji Yunshu was frightened by herself as she shook her head.
He was a high and mighty prince, a sarcastic bastard. No matter how weak he was, it was impossible for anyone to look at him!
She quickly shifted her gaze away and said, "Your Highness doesn't look at me. How would you know that I look at you?"
"What a sharp tongue."
Jing Rong was still as anxious as ever: "Didn't you say you could help me find the killer's identity? Then why aren't you doing anything? "
Helplessness!
Ji Yunshu skillfully took out a bag of things from a nearby table and spread it out beside the corpse. It was a small bag filled with various small knives.
"It's yours?"
"Yeah, sometimes when I meet troublesome hosts, they would suddenly ask you to come to Morgue in the middle of the night. There was no choice but to leave your things here, in case I came in a hurry and forgot to bring them."
Jing Rong shuddered. He was one of the tough principals!
While she was speaking, Ji Yunshu had already picked up a broad saber, raised the lower jaw of the corpse and cut towards its neck.
As the corpse had been charred and its neck had been cut open, the only sound that could be heard was the crisp sound of something exploding.
