C16 Dead eerie human skin body

"It means that the inside of a body has been completely removed, leaving only the outer layer of human skin?"

Mo Xian asked again in detail, if that was true, then this matter was definitely not done by an ordinary person, if there was someone in the Qing Dynasty with such capabilities, it would have already been recorded in history.

Shen Junlin's subordinate nodded, "That's right."

"Do you have any details?" Shen Junlin could tell that Mo Xian was extremely interested in this matter, so he asked her the question the way she wanted. As long as he spoke, the people below the stage would definitely talk.

"The general has sealed off the information. This subordinate is incompetent, so this is all we can find out for now." The subordinate said lightly.

Shen Junlin knew that Shen Zhi had his methods up his sleeves, if not he would not have been able to sit in this position for so long.

He waved his hand, signaling for his subordinates to leave. The man got up respectfully and retreated to the door, closing it behind him.

Shen Junlin glanced around, only to see that Mo Xian still looked to be thinking about something. There were lights everywhere in the room, and the half-human figure was just beside her like a bronze lamp, the warm yellow light made her white face even more sparkling.

"What are you thinking about? But what's wrong with that? " Shen Junlin asked.

Mo Xian regained his senses, and looked at Shen Junlin with shining eyes: "Un, I want to go to the yamen."

Even the general was alarmed, he was afraid that this matter would not end so easily. Furthermore, she could not let go of any clues related to the Unholy Mirror.

System: "Activate the trigger event to find the mastermind behind the murder case. Successfully completed the quest will be rewarded 200 gold coins and 1000 EXP. Failure will mean death. Please choose to accept or reject. "

Just as Mo Xian was about to stand up, the male voice of the System sounded out. Honestly speaking, she was not used to such a solemn attitude from the System.

System: "Are you looking for a beating? Don't grumble, hurry up and accept it. "

Mo Xian:????? Okay, just for three seconds.

She ruthlessly rolled her eyes. "Accept."

Shen Junlin was confused: "To the yamen? What are you doing in such a filthy place? Isn't it better for you to go there cleanly? " He thought that Mo Xian had never been to those dirty places before, so he subconsciously did not want her to go.

Mo Xian gazed at him fixedly with her intelligent eyes: "It's okay, I want to go to the yamen."

Shen Junlin felt a headache. This little wild cat had too much of an opinion of itself, he was simply unable to make any decisions. However, he wasn't willing to break her arms and legs. If she wanted to go, he could just let her go.

"Sure, I'll make the arrangements."

Mo Xian replied and went back to her room. As she was about to go out, she changed into a set of slightly better looking clothes.

The outermost part of her head was covered by a dark blue cloak. Inside, she wore a low collared robe with a lotus root color. The bottom of her purple skirt was embroidered with silver thread along the bottom, while the cuffs were embroidered with peonies. He had combed his hair with two small heads, which were adorned with a few light blue and gold tassels. The tassels hung down from his head, making him look very beautiful.

Shen Junlin, who had gone to arrange a carriage, turned his head, and a look of shock flashed across her eyes. When Mo Xian dressed up properly, she looked even more beautiful than a normal young miss of the Shangguan family. After all, she was not as wild as those raised in the deep rooms, and she was not as cold and reserved as those who roamed the martial arts world all year round.

The carriage of the General's Estate was two carriages at the same time. Just a picture of stability was drawn on the carriage. The exterior decoration was also very impressive. No wonder people often said that in ancient times, one could tell whether a wealthy family was truly a wealthy family just by looking at a carriage.

Seeing that Mo Xian was about to get on the carriage, Shen Junlin wanted to support her, but unexpectedly, her silk cloth shoes stepped on the wooden ladder, and in two steps she was on. He awkwardly retracted his hand and followed suit.

The horse carriage remained stable, and the two of them remained silent. Shen Junlin found a topic to talk: "Little Wild Cat, do you think that this matter is caused by a ghost?"

Mo Xian did not deny it: "Those people's deaths are too strange, I have to personally see them before I can come to a conclusion."

"Because it's the Demon catcher, you care so much about this matter?"

"Yes." Mo Xian felt that he had asked a useless question. If she was an ordinary woman, she would have been scared to death long ago.

Then she closed her eyes and opened them again after the carriage had stopped.

The door with red paint stood right in front of them. Next to the door were two large stone lions, looking dignified and dignified.

Shen Junlin was the first to alight. When Mo Xian got off the carriage, he finally supported her.

"Thank you very much." Mo Xian thanked him.

As soon as she entered, she smelled a strong stench of blood mixed with a pungent, sour smell. She frowned almost imperceptibly, but she quickly got used to it.

"Young General, Young Madam." The yamen guard hurriedly bowed and saluted.

"Where are the dead these days?" Shen Junlin knew that Mo Xian wanted to see it, and went straight to the point.

The guard was taken aback. General Shen had an order, but he wouldn't allow anyone to see it. How did the young general know about it?

"If General Shen blames me, just give it to me."

At this point, the guard could only blame his own bad luck. Bringing him along was not an option, if he didn't bring him along, he would die miserably as well. He resigned himself to his fate and began to pave the way.

The moment Mo Xian stepped into the house that was holding the corpses, she felt a cold atmosphere at the back of her body. However, there were no ghosts inside, and the chain around her neck did not move at all.

There were five human corpses in the huge house. The smell of blood was getting stronger and stronger, making people feel nauseous.

The guard stood at the door, not daring to enter.

Mo Xian then walked towards them. The skin of those people were like sheets, dry and shriveled, hanging on the old and worn out bed boards. For some time, the remaining skin had been wrapped in a layer of rust-red blood.

Fortunately, winter gradually arrived, and the human skin did not produce maggots.

Mo Xian looked around, and Shen Junlin followed him.

He suddenly whispered into her ear, "Can you tell what her name is?"

Mo Xian felt that the distance between the two was a little close, and subconsciously took a step back.

"Nope."

What she said was the truth. She only saw that the five corpses were all women. She didn't see anything else for now.

It seemed like he had to discuss the details with General Shen as he was the only one who knew more.

"Let's go."

"He left just like that?" Shen Junlin followed along and asked.

Mo Xian did not answer and instead asked the guard at the door: "Where's General Shen?"

The subordinate of the general's mansion said that he came to the yamen, but now he could not see anyone. Where did he go?

"I don't know." The guard replied respectfully, laughing bitterly in his heart.

I beg the two great buddhas to hurry up and leave.

Mo Xian muttered to himself for a moment, then raised his foot and walked out.

"Just now, there were no ghosts inside, but from the looks of it, they died in injustice. How can there be no vengeful ghosts?" Shen Junlin said to himself at the side.

"Yeah, there's something fishy about this." Mo Xian's heart was in a mess as he couldn't find the thread.

As she thought of this, she almost tripped on it when she was walking down the stairs. Shen Junlin quickly supported her.

"Be careful."

However, Mo Xian saw a white robed figure at a nearby alley. He seemed to look in this direction for a few times before disappearing.

Qi Huaizhao!

Mo Xian subconsciously thought of him, but before she could even thank Shen Junlin, she had already thrown off his hands and chased after him.

The latter stood on the spot and slowly retracted her hands.

There was an aura that he did not like very much.

Mo Xian's footsteps moved like the wind, and in a moment, she was already at the mouth of the alleyway. She looked around, and when people came and went, she had already lost the white robed figure.

She supported her forehead and laughed out loud. Even if Qi Huaizhao really appeared here, it was none of her business.

Seriously, I don't even understand why he chased us here.

She took a deep breath and walked out of the alley. She hadn't even taken two steps when she heard a clanging sound.

A jug of wine was smashed to pieces on the ground. The wine slowly seeped into the ground.

"You old bastard! Let's see how A'Cheng will deal with you when he gets back!" A woman dressed in an indigo cloth dress with old hair opened her mouth and cursed.

A white-haired old lady stood at the entrance of the shop. Her turbid eyes were fixed on the cloth-clothed woman, and it seemed as if the two of them were going to beat the other to death.

"Look, A'Cheng is back. Will he help his mother or will he help a wicked woman like you?" If you dare to even hit your mother-in-law, you will be struck by lightning from the heavens! "

She didn't believe that A'Cheng would bully her for the sake of such an ugly bastard. If she had known earlier, she wouldn't have let such a venomous woman enter!

Mo Xian understood it at a glance. It was clear that this was a tragedy brought about by the discordant relationship between wives.

The onlookers did not seem surprised, saying that they were not comfortable every once in a while.

This had nothing to do with Mo Xian. She walked around the crowd and returned to the entrance of the yamen, where Shen Junlin was still waiting for her.

There was not a single bit of impatience in that pair of gorgeous peach blossom eyes. Mo Xian thought, this person's acting skills are really too good, it seems like he really likes her.

"I've been waiting for a long time. Let's go back." Mo Xian said, and was the first to get on the carriage.

Shen Junlin got on the carriage, and the carriage started to move smoothly. He then squinted his eyes and asked: "Where did you go just now? "To leave in such a hurry."

Mo Xian laughed: "So it turns out that you still care where I go."

"Of course, you're my wife." Shen Junlin smiled mischievously.

Mo Xian's face immediately darkened, "How many times have I said it, I'm not your wife, your wife is called Bai Muling, and I'm called Mo Xian."

"Don't change the subject." Shen Junlin was very smart, how could he not see through Mo Xian's little tricks?

System: "Look, it has been exposed. It is not a match at all."

Mo Xian: "If you don't speak, you will die?" This darned system is so elusive, it's going to scare people to death!

System: "Oh, someone got angry out of embarrassment."

Mo Xian decided to ignore him and continue their conversation.

"There are three of them. I just went to relieve myself." Mo Xian was serious.

The System interrupted again, "F * * k, you even said such an excuse, do you want to be shameless?"

Mo Xian clenched both his hands into fists. Calm down, this is only something created by data, ignore it. They were all fakes, all fakes.

Shen Junlin chuckled, as he knew that she was just perfunctoring him.

Indeed, it was different from other girls. This little wild cat could always make him laugh.

"Is that so? I was the one who said too much. "

Mo Xian was not shy at all, but there was something wrong with his expression.

Shen Junlin didn't know if she was forcibly enduring the urge to hit the System, but there were still many truths in this world.

The two of them did not speak again, and the carriage came to a halt in front of the general's manor.
