Chapter 177 Strange
"Hehe, hehe, Your Highness is not old, not old at all." Feng Qingge waved her hand with a smile, her manner extremely obsequious.
"Hmph." Mo Linyuan snorted coldly, turned away, and ignored her.
The morgue was so cold and damp, it felt like the whole room was drafty, which gave me goosebumps.
"Oh dear, why aren't any lights on?" Rubbing her arms, Feng Qingge followed behind Mo Linyuan, her figure barely visible in the moonlight.
"Yes, yes, I'll go light it right away." The constable replied, and then footsteps could be heard; he was going to light the lamp.
These two have been waiting here for so long, so focused on welcoming the Regent, that they've even forgotten to light the lamps.
With a 'hiss', the tinderbox lit the candle, and the morgue was instantly illuminated, revealing the scene before them.
In this morgue are the bodies of the four victims in this case, all laid out in a row with their heads covered by white cloths, completely concealed.
Two of the corpses had red ropes tied around their feet, while the other two did not. The red ropes were long and hung to the ground, making them easily visible.
"Hey, what's this?" Obviously, Feng Qingge saw it at first glance, so she shooed it away and asked the coroner who was following behind the group with curiosity.
This coroner's surname was Li, his given name was Qi, and he was known as the skilled Li. He was one of the coroners in the government office, and because he was more famous among the others, he was chosen to perform the autopsy this time.
Li Qi was rather short, so he was barely noticeable behind the others, but he was also the oldest among them.
Upon hearing Feng Qingge's question, he raised his hand and stroked his sparse beard, saying in a somewhat unfathomable manner, "Young master, you may not know this, but the reason these two have red ropes tied around their necks is because it signifies that the bodies have been examined, while those without red ropes have not been examined."
Feng Qingge was speechless and gave him a strange look. So what if the red string had been tested? Why was he acting so mysterious? It made her think there was some explanation.
That's right. The morgue is where the dead stay. It's the place with the heaviest yin energy and is often haunted by unclean things. She thought the red string had been blessed. It turns out it was just a mark.
Mo Linyuan could tell from her expression that she was overthinking things, so he didn't say anything, but just felt that her mind was different from theirs.
"Hmm, strange, really strange..." she murmured softly.
Feng Qingge turned her head away, ignoring Li Qi, and looked around. The morgue was spotless, with nothing inside.
I'm not talking about the surface, but that there isn't a single ghost, let alone the ghosts of the deceased; you can't even see a fart.
"Young master, what did you say?" Li Qi heard her voice, but didn't hear what she said, so he asked.
"Oh, it's nothing, I was just talking to myself." Feng Qingge waved her hand and laughed it off, dismissing Li Qi just like that.
The place was so clean that she could hardly believe it, so she became increasingly interested in the few people lying there—or rather, the corpses.
Ignoring the group of people standing around looking around, Feng Qingge took the lead and lifted the white sheet covering a corpse, revealing the person lying there to them.
