Chapter 2020 Taihe Academy
Yun Xing's voice is really not pleasant.
It's very hoarse, not clear enough, and always has a dull feeling, like someone who has been hiding in darkness all year round.
However, his posture was exceptionally upright, like a pine or bamboo standing proudly in the cold wind.
At this moment, Su Yan's life was in Yun Zhou's hands, but she was more wary of Yun Xing.
She couldn't explain the reason, but intuitively, Yun Xing seemed more terrifying.
Yun Xing walked towards the two of them.
Although Yun Zhou was dissatisfied, he still loosened his grip a little.
Yun Xing lowered his eyes and looked at Su Yan.
His eyes were deep and cold, yet they also had a sense of decay like the setting sun in the west wind, making them incomprehensible.
Su Yan was terrified, but he quickly forced a smile, "You...is there anything I can do? Don't worry, I will treat today's incident as if nothing happened. You two can stay here if you want, it won't affect me anyway, right?"
Su Yan tried hard to show goodwill in order to save his life.
But she couldn't help wondering - "Where is Brother Zhao, Brother Zhao, Brother Zhao! Help! There are bad guys!"
Yun Xing glanced at Su Yan, took back the dagger and put it on his waist.
He seemed not to hear Su Yan's words and gave Yun Zhou a look.
Yun Zhou frowned, and seeing that Yun Xing had no intention of changing his mind, he had no choice but to grab Su Yan's neck and drag her behind the screen.
The headless corpse suddenly appeared before his eyes.
The corpse was wearing a brown robe, and judging from the figure, it was indeed Cheng Wenshan.
Yun Zhou pushed her over and said, "I don't care whether you can perform an autopsy or not. Anyway, get rid of him first."
Su Yan tried to ask: "Do you want me to take him away?"
"Nonsense!" Yun Zhou glared at her, "Tell him to stop stinking so much!"
Although Cheng Wenshan's body had not yet rotted, there were already many wriggling maggots in the wounds. Moreover, his head had been chopped off, and the smell of blood was extremely strong. It was normal for ordinary people to be unable to bear it.
Su Yan thought silently - "So he is afraid of corpses."
Yun Zhou's face darkened and he roared, "I killed someone when I was ten years old, why would I be afraid of him?!"
Su Yan was a little terrified - "How does he know what I'm thinking... If he's not afraid, then he must leave the body behind, but he can't stand the smell. In the final analysis, it's still fear. A seven-foot-tall man, but he's so timid."
Yun Zhou: “…”
He drew the soft sword from his waist and looked at Yun Xing with gritted teeth, "Can I kill her?"
Yunxing had already walked to the couch, closed his eyes and lay down, unwilling to pay attention to them.
Yun Zhou was so angry that he was fuming, but he could only retract the sword.
In name he is Yunxing's partner, but in reality he has to obey Yunxing's orders.
The Izumo Tower has a strict hierarchy, and Yunxing has outstanding abilities and holds a prominent position in the tower.
Yun Zhou could only tell Su Yan with a cold face, "Clean him up, and when the city's guards are relaxed, you can leave."
Su Yan quickly agreed.
However, although Yun Zhou would let her go, Su Yan was thinking that once the security in the city was relaxed, they would most likely kill her to silence her.
Yun Zhou heard Su Yan's inner voice: "..."
That damn girl is so annoying!
Su Yan walked to the headless corpse and squatted down.
The deceased's skin showed signs of aging, which was basically consistent with Cheng Wenshan's age.
Su Yan first cleaned the maggots off the corpse, and then observed the wounds, which were basically consistent with the wounds on the head and neck.
Su Yan could conclude that the body was indeed Cheng Wenshan's.
But if she wanted to perform an autopsy, she would need tools, and all her tools were left in the room.
Su Yan held a bowl of fly maggots and looked at Yun Zhou, "Can you allow me to go get the tools? They are in Master Cheng's room."
Yun Zhou had a cold face and was playing with a flying knife in his hand. When he saw Su Yan looking at him, he made a gesture to wipe his neck.
But when he was halfway through the move, he noticed the maggots in the bowl, and the flying knife stopped in front of his neck.
Yun Zhou had seen many corpses and dealt with many of them personally, but these corpses would not stay in his sight for more than an incense stick of time.
Most of the time, people disappear without a trace before they are completely cold.
Yun Zhou's Adam's apple rolled and he slowly put down the flying knife.
He rarely refuted Su Yan, but stood up and said calmly: "I'll get it."
Su Yan had no doubt about it.
Yun Zhou left, and only Su Yan and Yun Xing were left in the secret room.
She glanced at Yun Xing secretly.
Yun Xing rested his head on his forearm, closed his eyes, and didn't know whether he was awake or not.
Yun Zhou was outside, and she didn't know how to operate the stone door, so she wasn't stupid enough to try to slip away.
She was somewhat interested in Yun Xing.
Su Yan couldn't explain the reason, but every time she saw Yun Xing, she had a sense of déjà vu.
Just now he did not show any fear of the government office and seemed to know her identity as a coroner. It was really strange.
"Um..." Su Yan asked tentatively, "How do you need me to deal with the body? Just tell me directly, I will do my best to cooperate with you. Don't worry, I understand. The city is now heavily guarded. Anyone entering or leaving the city must have their documents checked. It will definitely be difficult for you to leave. If you let me go, I can let you leave the city smoothly."
Yun Xing ignored it, but he could hear Su Yan's inner voice - "First trick him into letting me go, then find someone to capture him!"
Yun Xing just changed his arm to rest his head on, closed his eyes and said, "Do you think the conditions you proposed are attractive?"
Su Yan choked.
Yun Zhou happened to walk in carrying Su Yan's wooden box. Out of disdain or fear, he held up the worn-out strap with one finger and threw it over from a distance, "Hey, take it quickly."
Su Yan was afraid that the tool would be broken, so he ran over to catch it.
The wooden box was a little heavy, and Su Yan gritted his teeth for a long time. He opened the box and checked it, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there was no damage. "It's okay, it's okay. It can be used."
After saying that, Su Yan raised his head and saw that Yun Zhou was holding something in his other hand.
She was stunned for a moment before realizing that Yun Zhou was holding Cheng Wenshan's head.
"you……"
Yun Zhou threw the head on the ground and said, "With this thing, we can go and report back. Yun Xing, when are we leaving?"
Yun Xing frowned and waved his hand.
Yun Zhou sighed and looked at Su Yan fiercely, "Go, examine your body!"
Su Yan didn't know why they allowed her to perform an autopsy. Being able to do an autopsy was a good thing. After hearing Yun Zhou's words, Su Yan was afraid that he would go back on his word, so she immediately went there with the wooden box.
Yun Zhou walked up to Yun Xing and asked in a low voice, "The head is outside. We don't need to hide here. If we want to go back and report, we can just take the head and leave. Why don't you leave? Do we really have to wait for them to find out the murderer? Yun Xing, don't forget that if the things behind Cheng Wenshan are really found out, the higher-ups will be angry, so those things..."
Yun Zhou looked at the bookshelf in the secret room and asked, "Should they all be destroyed?"
In the case of Cheng Wenshan's death, the murderer left many clues, and the time of death and fatal injuries could be determined.
Su Yan mainly checked the injuries on the body. She found that Cheng Wenshan had fought with the murderer before his death and had several bruises on his body.
There were no such marks on Yin Yuan's body; he was killed with one blow.
Su Yan has always been more inclined to believe that Yin Yuan was ambushed, and Cheng Wenshan obviously knew the existence of the murderer, and it is even very likely that he let the murderer into his courtyard, so he fought with the murderer.
Su Yan checked carefully and found that Cheng Wenshan had taken off all of his outer clothes.
It didn't take long for Yun Zhou to go from looking disgusted at first to being unable to resist and slowly moving closer.
He covered his nose with one hand, kicked Su Yan, and asked, "Hey, I heard that you can tell how long a person has been dead. How do you know?"
"Many ways," Su Yan said, "After a person dies, there will be many phenomena such as corpse spots, rigor mortis, cloudy eyes, etc. Including the growth rate of the maggots on his body, there are regularities to be found. Oh, by the way, if it is possible to perform an autopsy, cut open his stomach and determine the contents of the stomach, we can also deduce it based on the time of the last meal."
Yun Zhou: "Cut open... the stomach? Your method is more cruel than mine."
Su Yan was unsure of Yun Zhou's thoughts, so he said cautiously: "Sir, you are joking. You look kind and handsome, how could you do such a cruel thing?"
After Su Yan praised him against his will, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart - "Will there be retribution for telling too many lies?"
Yun Zhou: “…”
He drew out his flying knife and glared at her with gritted teeth, "Tell me the details of this corpse today. If you don't know, I'll ask you to go down and accompany him!"
